assistant: Hello John!
We'll start with these...
 I found one Strawberry Alarm Clock album at $16.
 They have 1 copy of the 'interesting' cover of Apple Pie at $20, 4 regular
versions at $16-18 depending on the condition. (they also have Apple #2 at
$20)
 No Red Crayola, 13th floor, Sidewalks, or wacthbands.  :(   As for anything
else on the International Artist's label, you'll have to be more specific.
Everything there is organized by group.
   They have 4 Luniverse records. 1 by Del Vikings (a/somewhere over the
rainbow- b/hey senorita), 3 by Buchanan & goodman (1 a/flying saucer pt1- b/
flying saucer pt2; a/Matian Melody- b/Flying Saucer the 2nd; a/flying saucer
goes west- b/saucer serenade.
   Nothing by the Honey's. (is that how it's spelled?)
   They have several Beatles picture discs, in both LP and 45, but we weren't
sure if they were 20th or not. Any distinguishing marks?   Can you let me
know which you're looking for?
Still, not even a peep as to these. NO ONE here has ever heard of them. :(
So, that's what i've got so far. Let me know if you want any of these, and
what
beatles you want and i'll see if i can work up a deal. ok?
Oh, BTW, to speed things up a bit, can you send me your phone #?
Paul
