It's an odd thing
but sometimes white labels and promos are not worth as much as the pic sleeve proper release. collectors are fucking weird.

No, they seem to be the real sleeves
just have 'Not for resale' stamped on them.

Doesn't really mean much.
Unless the promo has otherwise unavailable tracks/ mixes, or is from a highly collectible label, then not worth much.

What are the records in question?

Oh, just numbers 001-100 on some label called Mo Wax?
I've paid Beth £10 for the lot because I'm nice like that.

I'll give you £15 for the lot.
You can keep the 'swaps' as well.

Condition is all.
If you have ringwear (lol) or sleeve damage the value plummets.

You can still make on them but 'proper' collectors ie spastics have a real problem with damage even if the thing plays perfectly. This is fucking stupid. I have no problem with reissues etc vs originals particularly new ones as often they're remastered to massive improvement.

Best example I can think of offhand here is the New York Dolls LPs which sound fucking dreadful unless you get the reissues done in the past year or two.

When I was in Crash in Leeds on Monday they had a vinyl reissue of The Stooges.
I nearly bought it.

I bought an Arab Strap album instead.
Times are tough.

Refridgerated anecdote, male sibling.

Yeah
a cursory search seems to indicate an average price of a couple of quid for each of them. Totally not worth my effort to buy the whole box and try to shift a lot of James Last tat alongside these ones.

Thanks for your help though, boys.

Oh, the last one is worth a bit more.
US import by a guy called Paulinho da Costa. Sings in portuguese, so I'm guessing Brazilian.

Still only worth about £15 though, so I won't bother.

Sell it to Tangles.
He's an Andy Kershaw idiot.
