**NEW** RARE ODD OR UNSEEN PRESSINGS
An odd section of label oddities that have cropped up in our stock or pictures we've kept etc. Some things like Rare TRI centres of very late 1959-early 1960 Decca pressed 45s (see also the London Tri page), strange label errors, undocumented oddities, lesser-known first pressings or records just so RARE they need to be seen. Rare meaning not just big £££ either, the big much wanted 50s-60s rarities can be found pictured elsewhere. We show the odd ones you don't see. |
