A Guide to collecting Eastwood related 7” Vinyl Singles

A Guide to collecting Eastwood related 7” Vinyl Singles

I have been meaning to update the vinyl section for some time now. Whilst there is still a vinyl section elsewhere on the Archive it may not contain all of the following. It may also include some singles that have yet to find their way into my own collection and may include some LP’s which I do not have. In general, it’s a real mixed bag. So as a guide to collecting 7” vinyl singles I have created this new post to focus purely what sits in my own collection. It is by no means a complete guide, but for anyone starting out, it does offer some idea of what is actually available worldwide. I hope to also (at some point) create a new vinyl LP section which again will feature only what I have collected over the many years and will again serve purely as a guide.
