Try Mangos in Nicosia, he may have something or know of someone. He’s a real nice guy and a good stock of Vinyl records.
Socialise and help people in the Paphos region.

Happy memories HICHappy in Cyprus wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 1:28 am It's not that I want the tracks themselves, I can download them at low cost from Apple Music. Or I can view them for free on YouTube complete with all the sound defects which accompany old vinyl. In fact, we have many of the tracks already on Apple Music.
It was just that by chance I saw a prog on TV last week in which the value of these old singles came to light and we have a lot of singles and LPs by the 1960s well-known bands doing nothing, stored away in a cupboard. Before attempting to realise their value I thought it might be good to test and clean them and record tracks we want for our own future enjoyment. Listening (and watching) a few on YouTube the other day brought back such happy memories, esp. my old ska and reggae faves![]()

A great site to do a search is Discogs.com Just enter the name of the track (and possibly the artist) into the Search facility and a music video of said track appears in the bottom RH corner of the info page relating to that track. Great site!
An indication of values is given on the RH side of that page as well.
