I have made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums!
They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.
PLEASE NOTE: EBAY has no idea of the cost involved to package 78's for safe shipping...
We will add on a handling charge of 3.00 for shipping supplies from U-LINE (4 cardboard pads - peanuts - heavy duty oversized box)
THE GOOD NEWS IS... WE WILL COMBINE SHIPPING ON ALL MULTIPLE RECORD PURCHASES IN THE USA!
