Answer
Hello Mick,

Thank you for your question.
The rarest of these 7" Albert singles would be Problem Child/Love At First Feel, likely to be worth in the range of $75-100USD to collectors. Dirty Deeds/RIP approximately $60, and the other titles you mentioned in the range of $30-50 each. If any of these are "A" label promo's (there would be a large A stamped across one or both sides of the single's label), this would dramatically increase their value and rarity.
The rarest of the Albert 7" singles would include "Dog Eat Dog"/"Carry Me Home", "Can I Sit Next To You Girl"/"Rockin' In The Parlour", "Rock and Roll Damnation/Cold Hearted Man", as well as "Let There Be Rock" (part 1)/"Let There Be Rock" (part 2).

The best way to protect your vinyls in storage would be to place them individually inside at least a 1.5 mil poly sleeve (POLYPROPYLENE plastic) and store them upright (not laying face down).

Best Regards,
Bill
