Hi Joe! Great set! I started collecting 7 inches about 6 months ago, mostly because of Single File. Here in Brazil, 7 inches were released only until mid 80s and are not taken seriously by used records store nowadays, making then hard to find. I find them mostly at sebos (used books stores) although very cheao its usually without cover and in bad shape. I wish they would sound as good as yours. Hope to get some more imports in the future.
