Scotters Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Browsing for a few mins just now and spotted this 45 described as an unknown test press with sound clip. Apart from poor quality and a skip, the actual main track sounds early to mid 70's, not too bad to my ears and even though I'm not bidding (there are bidders) I wondered if anyone on here for next couple hours knows what / who it is? I do know the seller, but as he's in Oz and only 2 hours to go on the sale, unlikely to find out much more just now. Chorus something like "You were so hard to find, and you blew my mind"? Also a sweet / deep flip some might like. Thanks, Steve Edited January 29, 2013 by 71 Steve
Docfish Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Lost Family: Blow My Mind on International Music Bag or Innovation II, this one shouldn't cost you more then $40 with intact labels. Nice trick by the way, to scratch the labels off and call it unknown 1

Nice trick by the way, to scratch the labels off and call it unknown Lost Family Blow My Mind on International Blimey thanks, that was quick Appreciate that and proves there's no better place to find out about soul, no matter what time of day or night! Thanks again. I'll go look for one with a label on! I do know this seller and he's a decent guy who bulk buys lots of different old records and sells on as an when. He would NOT have scratched this label off himself and then tried to pass this on as something "unknown" to make a few bucks. Just wanted to get that on here if anyone is thinking otherwise. Sorry to anyone here bidding on it Edited January 29, 2013 by 71 Steve
Diddy Morgan Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 $15 record on innovation and a lot less with no label 1
Scotters Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 Sorry Rod / anyone in mods...do I now need to edit title of this post so as not to waste anyone's time looking at it? Or just leave as is for general interest for anyone like me who didn't know this record before just now and might like to know of it? Thanks. Steve
boba Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks for posting. Do not edit the post, this is information that is useful to other people. I messaged the seller last night and he was like "I'll update the auction right away". I'm sure many other people also messaged the seller, this is not like some unknown record. And it's not a test press.
Guest rushden Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Mate you did and the listing was revised with information and thank you for that, by the way i met you in Chicago when i travelled to say THANK YOU to the artists unfortunatly i dont have the knowledge of some you gurus , a problem of having sunshine 24/7 and other detractions. best Johnnyredpants back to the sun Thanks for posting.

Guest rushden Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 YOU NEVER SLANDERED ME WHERE DID I STATE YOU DID ! CHECK RIGHT DOWN THE BOTTOM ( WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING MATE ? ) YOU WOULD BE AWARE? ALL ANSWERS TO POSTS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LISTINGS ! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/350698186975?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649#ht_3395wt_1165 I'm sorry if I slandered you -- where in the listing does it say it's the lost family?

boba Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Calm down. You're getting mad because I'm apologizing for potentially slandering you and you didn't say I slandered you? OK, I'm sorry I apologized to you for a potential problem. But you are mad that someone else did slander you? Look at the link in the first post. The question does not appear at the bottom of it. That is what I checked before posting. I apologize for saying you didn't update the auction when you did. I did check the link link twice before and before posting. Also, I've gotten burned before by putting bids in before questions were later posted at the bottom of auctions. I hope you make sure the final bidder is aware of what the record is. Thanks a lot.

boba Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I am not being patronizing. You are typing in all capital letters which you didn't in your first response and which on the internet appears as screaming. I sent you the link which I looked at a bunch of times which doesn't show the question. In my opinion, you are overreacting. Your posts read like you are flipping out, whether you are or aren't. You're accusing me of drinking whiskey, who's being patronizing?
boba Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Also, I even apologized and you got mad at me for apologizing. That counts as overreacting to me.
Guest rushden Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 MODERATORS NOT DOING THERE JOB YES BOBA IT GOT PERSONAL WHEN A FELLOW EBAY SELLER ?

boba Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I am not condoning anything. I calmly explained the situation and showed you how the misunderstanding occurred. You are just yelling. PM me if you want my user ID that I've had for the last few years if you want to block it. At this point Mike or another moderator can take appropriate action, I'm not sure what action I could take that you would deem appropriate. Thank you.
Dave Pinch Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 cant fault the seller....what about the guys who bid on these items.....maybe a bit of homework on their part before bidding
Scotters Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 I've just woken up to see the regrettable impact of my original quite innocent (at least that's what I intended it to be) post. I had no idea that a simple request for info on I record could unfold in this way and I sincerely apologise to you John for the hassle this has caused. I'll contact you separately of course. Locking down now to prevent any other adverse comments as this is not good for anyone in my opinion. Steve. 1
