    Ebay Cock-up

    in All About the SOUL

    Posted · Edited by J-Brew

    I once received a Corey Blake on Capitol "out of the blue".....i checked the dealer and it was someone i'd bought a cheap 45 off on e-bay.....and they sent the wrong one....the buyer was in the UK so i forwarded on......".Jim Bates...awaiting to be Canonised.....Stoke" :D

    A couple of days ago the postman turned up with a stack of parcels. Been waiting on one for ages so when he handed me the bundle I though "great, it's here at last". Opened the first two (record in question still not here) and then gets to a bunch of four that had been bound together with that plastic tape stuff that cuts your fingers like a b*stard. Odd. Anyway, the one on the top was from Finland. I cut the tape and opened up the bundle. The second parcel was also from Finland, and the third, and the bottom one. Except that three of them were for other people in completely different parts of the UK! Obviously some numpty at the Finnish post office had thought they'd be clever and seal them all up together in one easy to manage block. Weird thing was that looking at the post marks they'd been posted - or stamped - about 45 mins apart. Anyway, if Nick Hackett, Linda Couldstone and (I assume) Steve Plumb are wondering why you've got a record from Finland with a UK franking sticker on it, that's why!

    As a footnote the record I was waiting for actually turned up an hour later via parcelforce in a box about the size of something normally reserved for packing a food blender. Light as a feather, mind, as the record was nestled in three days worth of newspaper. :D

    I've had a few of these in the past (typical, you look for something for ages and then you find yourself with 3 in the space of 5 months...) and they've all been the purple label ones. From memory this shares the same Catalogue number as the Elsie Strong - Girl Rated Triple X - maybe they decided to 'pull' the Christian (or vice versa). Doesn't explain the two label designs, though. Would the blue one be an 80's press...and if so, why! :ohmy::lol: Still a favourite - he sounds bloody miserable though :rolleyes:

    I hope so, as soon as I get my arse in gear I'll be getting it carved to play out.

    But the chance of this getting the exposure it deserves on the wider northern scene in the UK? :ohmy:

    The scene is being very naughty ignoring stuff like this. It deserves a slap round the face and be made to stand in the corner of a grotty working men's club till it realises the errors of it's way...

    Just play it off the album - it's a nice and loud pressing so no excuses and it's only one record so it's not like it's very heavy...or is that against the rules? :D

    By carving up a perfectly good new release you're being very naughty . You deserve a slap round the face and should be made to stand in the corner of a grotty working men's club till you realise the error of your ways...

    I have no memory of seeing it on Black Magic in the 70's, but nobody knows everything. 2 of their releases are on Sheild, check out the great 'Swing', popular tune at Yate. I also have one of those 7"-33 1/3 things by them as well, called 'Keep rolling', but this just isn't as good as the Shield releases. I've seen the Black Magic one advertised as a west coast release, which is even more odd, as they are definatly a East Coast group.

    There's no info regarding pressing origin in the run out other than the group name and 'Side 1'/'Side 2' (on the wrong sides as it happens :thumbsup: )

    Not for me that 'Swing', no sir :thumbup::lol:

    Got it on Shield,the one above looks iffy :thumbsup:

    :thumbup: not sure it's a boot, I've had a few and they've all come from the US. If it was a boot surely it'd be more plentiful and would have been 'flagged' as such by now. That said anything's possible I guess so it'd be interesting to know more .

    I'm after putting my copy of Jewel - 'Paradise' up for a trade against an Ike Strong.

    How feasible is that folks?

    Tricky maybe. Ike Strong (I take it we're taking the Mable release) seems to be going for more than Jewel normally fetches so depends how savy you're co-trader is.

    What's This Tune?

    Hi,

    just watched the Soul Revolution - May 2007 video in the video section on here. at 1 min 13 seconds starts a tune that is stuck in my head now. it has a very catchy intro - and unfortunately the video only features a few seconds of it. it sounds very familiar to me, i'm quite sure i heard it before, but i have no idea what it is. help anyone? would be great! :thumbsup:

    thanks,

    christian
