On reading the Yodi label thread I suddenly thought has the Zudan label listing been done? Some right little crackers on there - Earles Inc & Symphonic Four to name but two. Also what about these labels: La Louisianne Renee (Wales Wallace, Cicero Blake etc) done Crash (Steelers) done just a thought, derek

After reading the thread directly below this posting about the Combinations 45 I did wonder has the Kellmac label been done yet? derek

As somebody that's been a long time fan of label listings a thought suddenly occured to me this afternoon. Wouldn't it be a great idea if we could harness all that unbelievable array of knowledge, details, facts and figures from across all the members on here to compile listings of labels that haven't been done before? And yes I know out there in internet land a few clicks on a search button will reveal all manner of label listings from the 1960's onwards across all the states of America. But surely there must be dozens of weird and wonderful labels that haven't been documented yet - though off the top of mi head I can't think of any straight away..... (smile). What say you? derek x

Always rated Daphine Williams 'I love you' as summat rather special. Released on a plain dark blue label though it's pretty hard to locate. derek

this did make me smile Kris - only record collectors could say 6000 items is a small collection.... (laughs) Derek

I regularly sell the odd bits n bats through Ebay to anywhere in the world and as far as I can recall I don't think I've had more than one item a year go missing in the post. Obviously it's a bit of a percentage game depending of how many items you mail out each month - if you send out say 100 a month (25 a week) there's more chance of the odd thing going awol compared to somebody that might just post say 10 a month. As Chalky says many sellers now stipulate they won't sell to certain countries with Italy and Russia being the most frequently mentioned. The socialist in me immediately thought "blimey it's like apartheid not selling records to certain countries" so I took the view I'd rather sell items to all countries anywhere in the world and put up with the odd ball ache if any problems do arise. It's not the fault of the people living in those countries if their postal service is unreliable/corrupt etc so why should they be penalised? Though I could see an opposite arguement saying well if their postal service is that bad why don't they complain and try bring about a change. Yeah right.... Once again I'd taken the moral high ground and did what I thought was right and guess what happened next........ Yep bang on cue I had 2 items go missing in the same week (laughs) - one to Sweden and one to Russia. And because we all like a happy ending I'm glad to say the swedish one landed after 4 weeks floating about somewhere. derek Oh but the Russian one didn't and he left me negative feedback which scuppered my shiny virgin 100% feedback rating (smile). I'm sure there's a moral somewhere in that story and one day I'll figure it out hahaha. And no I won't stop mailing to Russia.
