OK, that's strange! Works alright for me. Perhaps you have to make the changes on both the .co.uk and .com sites? I don't know. I'm Sebastian by the way, not Benji.

I wonder what their stance will be if you claim that it is borrowed but very valuable goods that has been sent back to you? I mean, if there isn't a receipt in the package, how can customs be certain that the item has actually been purchased? It might be a gift from someone despite being sent with a $2500 insurance! Or indeed a friend sending back a valuable record that they have borrowed. Oh well!

This is by no means the perfect way to block fake bidders, as it also might block genuine bidders that have just started out on eBay, but the following has helped me to get rid of most of the fake bids for my reggae items on eBay: In your "My eBay" go to the Account tab. Then click Site preferences in the left column. Scroll down to and click on Buyer requirements. Then click Edit. Then make these (or similar) adjustments under Block buyers who: Have received 2 Unpaid Item strike(s) within 1 Month(s). Have 1 Policy Violation report(s) within 1 Month(s). Have a feedback score of -1 or lower Are currently winning or have bought 1 of my items in the last 10 days (only apply this block to buyers who have a feedback score of 1 or lower) Good luck!

That guitar solo, panning from the left to right speaker and back again, is brutal!

Yes, issued on the regular red/black Dial label:

Just so you're aware of this in case you don't know it: the sound quality on the LEE JOHN label 45 is shockingly thin on the "Birth Of A Playboy" track compared to the MAPLE and CANYON issues. It's the exact same recording on all three 45s, but the LEE JOHN 45 suffers from very poor mastering.

Most M- copies that turns up of this on eBay sell for £200-£250, and it turns up frequently. Lesser condition copies usually sell for less. Here are some prices from this year: 2009-09-20 - 385 USD 2009-07-12 - 160 GBP 2009-06-08 - 412 USD 2009-04-26 - 367 USD 2009-01-11 - 422 USD 2009-01-09 - 368 USD

Both sides on his other DIAL release are good as well. An uptempo dancer b/w great super slow deep soul.

Why not just incorporate the PayPal fee (4%) into the sale price? Make it £10.50 instead of £10. £52 instead of £50. £210 instead of £200. I know that those prices looks a bit odd, but at least the buyers will not have the feeling of being charged even more for something that just makes the sellers life more practical. While you're at it you might as well incorporate the shipping cost into the sales price and state "FREE SHIPPING AND NO PAYPAL FEES". That's in essence what all major retailers (and the grocery store around the corner) do, because it makes the item(s) psychologically more appealing and it will without a doubt entice more customers.

Also have in mind that both sides on this 45 are getting plays at the moment.

Only 5-6 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking! :-)

A copy sold for £52 on eBay in December 2008 if that's of any help. Another copy was on eBay just a month or two ago that ended without bids and with a starting price of £20.

Superb version indeed! Gritty and brutal. A great CD from beginning to end in my opinion (as was "Vol. 1"). Have been playing it non-stop during the past couple of days. Also have to add that the sound quality on "Here It Comes" by The Persians on this CD is ridiculously good! Gorgeous tune.

£334 is extremely high, it usually sells for £50-£75. I think that the demand comes from freakbeat and Joe Meek/R.G.M. collectors.

It might be legit, but it's not the first label. SWAN is the original label for those Showmen, Mickey Lee Lane and Sapphires tracks that appeared on ITZY as well. ITZY was, and still is, an "oldies" record label that release(d) 45s, LPs and CDs with tunes that were popular in the Pittsburgh, PA area.

There's a fairly high profile US dealer that must have LOADS of copies of the "Love Doll" white demo 45. He's selling them for $20 each and I've been buying it for years off him in batches of 3-5 at a time. Do a google search for the label and catalogue number and you'll find it in the top-10 of the result list.

Just to collect all scans in one place... here's my odd solid centre styrene US issue (also not for sale, I'm afraid):

A copy sold for $565 on eBay in March this year. So definitely a "mid-3 figures" sound at least.

That Wild Honey 45 is a fantastic record in my opinion. Both sides are good. Very seldom turns up for sale as well.

Does it exist on an orange label MINIT issue? The only orange copies I've seen of this have been reissues on the BANDY label. The black label copies of "Fortune Teller" is the original issue as far as I know, but this 45 was pressed at several different plants at the same time. Here are two of them:

Hahaha! I have honestly never really listened to the lyrics! "the problem was that within your daddys life, he had a daughter who today is your wife, now you have my blessings son and try to understand that's life!" Odd indeed.

"Mr. Slick" is a decent mid-tempo latin soul workout and "Sabre Olvidar" is a spanish language salsa tune. Neither are earth-shattering in my opinion. Their "That's Life" on COTIQUE 160 is great though!
