I have no problem with paying relevant taxes,etc. Obviously nicer not to have to of course. But what on earth is this handling charge for? I had a charge last week for £8.87. Therefore, 87p for the VAT/Tax whatever, and £8 handling charge. And I ended up picking it up from the sorting office myself, so they didn't even f***ng deliver it to me for that £8. Grrrr

Just browsing this top forum again as I've come to this particular record on my wants-back list. Thought there might be some info. on whether it had been booted/re-issued I seem to remember there being a bit of hoo-hah over this one after I'd sold the one I originally had. I made a note on my list to double-check when the time came to getting it back again. Unfortunately, scanners of any reasonably affordable price didn't exist then, so I don't have any pics of my previous copy and, as I say, I only heard about the possibility of a boot after I'd sold it. Any info. gratefully received.

Just purchased a issue copy of this. Which, from photos I've seen of it, looks very much like the demo in the picture in the first post. Not received it yet but I'll be having a good look at it when it does arrive. I'll post up my findings.

I bet it sounds better on the real deal vinyl than it does on the 32kbps/11KHz MP3 or previously TDK cassette tape, that I've had to listen to for the last 26 six years

Hi Andy. Just wondered if you'd had any offers on your want for Marty Lewis? Unfortunately I don't own a copy, so I can't help you. I been after a decent one for yonks but no luck. I seem to remember John Manship having one a few years ago for about £150 and there aren't that many on popsike neither. The one's that are there are from a while ago or not the greatest of copies. Funny how some records that are valued at £100-£150 never, ever, ever turn up but you can't click on a website/read a dealers list/search ebay, without falling over those valued at £500+

Thanks for the replies folks. Just shows though what a dificult job it is now to get a genuine copy of something. Especially at some of the prices being touted about. Manships's book is a big help but there's always something else cropping up that just doesn't quite fit. Think this forum could get busy

Just wondering if this record has have been booted/reissued. reason I ask is that there are currently THREE up on Ebay, all different....... 1. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=200295610706 2. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=270324861079 3. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=350148815770 My copy is like no. 3. Anyone any clues? Edit : Although 1 & 2 do look the same, to me it looks like 1 is styrene and 2 is vinyl.

Only just spotted this thread and it is of interest, many thanks. I have a Grey label first issue stock copy that is Styrene with scratched in matrix. I have always assumed that it was a genuine issue (as I've never been aware of the Grey one being booted). I have recently been considering getting a Pink issue copy to compliment it, so this information is very helpfull. Cheers.

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

I must admit to thinking the same myself only the other day. I got divorced 5 years ago and as a result ended up selling 2/3rds of my collection. I'd promised myself that once things got sorted I'd get some/all of them back. I sold 3/4rs of them on ebay and got what I thought, were a few decent prices for them. However, I look now, and either they aren't there (fair enough, I expect that might be the case) or they are just ridiculous prices. Mostly Buy It Now or starting prices nearly twice as much as I got for mine. Alder Ray would be the prime example, I got £30 for a mint copy, the only one I can find now is $199.99 (£130 odd depending on the state of the pound). Similar with Teddy Randazzo, sold a mint dj for £65 and the only one available is $175.00 (nearly £120). Most of the prices appear to be prohibitive, as if they maybe don't want to sell. I can sympathise a little with that as I know how it feels to let a Timi Yuro go, regardless of price. Sometimes though, life's priorities change for some of us. Having browsed through a few sellers items, particularly those that have high BIN prices, it reminds me of looking through a gallery. All wonderfully presented, one in particular that you just drool over. Perhaps that's it, maybe ebay's become a showroom for those that have these wonderous collections. Another thought, if you have a shop, Buy It Now shop items cost a lot less to put up. Maybe I'll stick to Refosoul and my MP3's.

Oooooh, Julian Covey - A Little Bit Hurt, must be close. Probably just under the 2 seconds.

Ooooh, I'd have to go for a Gene Toones, What More Do You Want. Not being greedy like, Mint minus would do

They used to play that quite a lot at the early sessions on a Wednesday and Friday at the Casino. Used to go down a storm then.

I got one of them that plays in my head from M's. I remember hearing "Spider Man" by "Will Power" (demo only on Private Stock I since found out). It's the theme tune to the American version of the cartoon Spiderman. There must have only been about 30 of us in the place at that time and I can't for the life of me remember who the jock was. I know one of the folks in there, but they deny all knowledge to this day. I can't be completely nuts (well, errrm, no I'm not). Any of the other 28 out there ever remember it being played?

Don't worry, I couldn't remember how Chuck Holiday went. Had to check it out on Refosoul first

Four Voices - Love is Getting Stronger ?

Just a few from what I have left in my boxes that don't appear to have been mentioned...... Ara Birth Bright Star Deep Josie Private Stock

Not sure, as it may not be the same one. There was a 'Wide World' record label in the late 60's based in Houston, Texas. Mainly Country and Western recordings though, I think.
