Well packaged and best deal

Well packaged and cheaper than elsewhere.
Good deal on the Scritti Politti remastered CD and vinyl. It is always a pleasure doing business with a local Banbury firm and I am a repeat customer. A better deal and price compared to other music shops that I regularly use. Many thanks!
