UNUSUAL IMPORT/FOREIGN RECORDS! ALL 7-INCH UNUSUAL IMPORT/FOREIGN RECORDS! ALL 7-INCH Frank Merrill/SATURDAY NIGHT RECORDS 848 Dodge Avenue, #PMB-112 Evanston IL 60202 fmerr4illjr@4gmail.com (REMOVE both of the 4’s) THIS DOCUMENT is designated as: 7bb—foreign This section will never again appear on a paper list, as I’m depleted of these now. This has now become an archival document only, with 40% discount. For many years I was getting “from, as many countries as possible, records representing those localities.” USUALLY, one record per country. Occasionally I would also add a record from a non-nation locality or colony, such as Bermuda. THIS IS IN TWO SECTIONS. Second section is “Hot 100” Billboard hits, covered in non-English languages. Some are original artist, others are not. IMPORTANT: PLEASE ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR ADDRESS ON YOUR ORDER. Not doing so can be dangerous, because I can NEVER assume that your address didn’t change since your prior order.
