Yes. The International Music Bag copies I've had sounds just as good as the INNOVATION II copies though (and the IMB copies are on vinyl, not styrene).

You're ofcourse right, but I just want to mention that it did get a late 70s reissue on the red US Stax label (STAX 1037) so that people don't buy the reissue by mistake. Fantastic tune in any case!

Toussaint McCall sings "Nothing Takes The Place Of You" in Hairspray (from 1988).

Note that the styrene issue copies on KIMBERLY are bootlegs. The original KIMBERLY issue is on vinyl.

2-3 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking! :-)

Hope it's the record you're looking for when it arrives!

It might be this 7" from 1970: Michael Brennan - First Day In The World Without Her / Mixed-Up Guy - CAPITOL 2898 I haven't heard it myself, but I know that the flipside is the tune written by Jimmy Webb which goes hand-in-hand with the Glen Campbell sound you mentioned.

Vinnie Monte on JUBILEE 5403 from 1961? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLTIHY5sIHQ

That's apparently a different group. That also goes for the Pacesetters 45s on KENT and CORREC-TONE plus the Lovers 45s on AGON, CHECKER and HERMITAGE.

Fantastic double-sider indeed!

I don't see that happening anytime soon. It will take a lot of work, time and investments to achieve something like that. You have to create access to a bigger market than what eBay can offer and charge lower fees than what they do. You have to steer ALL buyers and ALL sellers away from eBay. I think that is nigh on impossible. The total eBay+PayPal fees when listing on the .com site (with .co.uk visibility) usually comes to about 11%-12% of the selling amount. In my opinion that's not a lot considering the services they offer you, and it's less than what most other auction sites (or re-sellers that sells on commission) charges. I think eBay is superb for both buying and selling. Sure, their feeback system and postage "rules" are a joke, but as far as access to records and convenience when selling/buying goes I think they're great 99% of the time. I find it seriously odd that so many of you think that eBay should offer their services pretty much for free. It just doesn't make sense.

Once again I prefer the flipside... "Love Meets No Stranger" sounds much better to my ears as far as northern plays goes. Great double-sider in any case and very rare/obscure as well.

I guess so, but people in general seems to be fairly honest about these things. Out of 1000 packages sent uninsured I usually get some kind of problem with about 2-3 (or less) of them and I suspect that in those rare cases the packages actaully did get lost in the postal system somewhere. It's not often that I feel that the buyer is "trying it on". Those are just my experiences though. Also, I never send out packages between 18th December and 2nd January. It's just too risky.

No. According to eBay's guidelines: "Even if the item was not insured, you are still responsible for the item until the buyer receives it."

It's a monster of gigantic proportions! An absolutely pummeling tune when played loud in a club! One of my all-time instrumental faves.

I totally agree, a fantastic album indeed. Have been playing the hell out of it over the past couple of months. Here it is for those of you with Spotify:

Popsike lists 4 copies sold during the past 6 years (but none sold during the past 3 years): 2006-10-01 - $1592 (m-) 2006-09-05 - $1677 (vg+) 2005-12-05 - $1026 (vg+) 2004-12-21 - $1075 (vg) If a M- copy turns up on eBay it will probably fetch much more than £1000.
