I'm just pleased that there has been a resolution to this.

I have contacted you all with the companies response, I have passed on all concerns, emails and messages to Eric Foss on his direct email, I really don't know what else to do or say on this, I have tried to remain professional about this as mud or shit in this case has a habit of sticking, I would just like to add that all orders I get for the 45's are processed and shipped as quickly as possible normally the next day, if any go astray I re send another copy without prejudice, I take no pre payment on reserved records as I am fully aware of how things can go pear shaped when you have peoples money upfront, the records are first class, legit and seem to be proving very popular, finally there was no way I would have become involved with Secret Stash if they were somehow dodgy or crooks which has been suggested here, I am the UK arm of the company and have to take on board some responabilty in all of this although I was not employeed by them when thisseries of albums began, what I can and will dois endeavour to address this situation for you guys, this will be my final post on this thread as I do not wish tobecome embroiled in an on goig saga, if you have any concerns, issues or points to raises on this please send me a direct email to bicknellmark@aol.com and I will forward them direclly. Mark.

Wanted Ruby Johnson - Don't Start Nothing - Nebs - Nice clean copy VG+ and up, decent cash waiting, please PM here or email bicknellmark@aol.com

Greetings. We are very sorry for the delays with the One-derful! Collection and for the communication breakdown. We've had some major changes here that have lead to the communication issues, but I feel like we're back on track and ready to move forward. Here is where we are at... 1) Midas compact discs are done and we are ordering new print this week. We will send out an update once the plant gives us an ETA. Sorry for the delay in getting the print redone. 2) The recent closing of Canada Boy Vinyl has set back, yet again, the Toddlin' Town collection. We're having new lacquers made as I type this. We will try and line up the CD release with the LPs. More info to come as soon as we have plates in hand. 3) If anyone would like a refund for their yet to be recieved itmes, just email sales@secetstashrecords.com and include your paypal address. You will absolteuly have the opportunity to order the items when they are ready. 4) I'd like to thank Mark for being our eyes and ears in the UK. Those of you that know him know he is a top notch guy and is doing everything he can to help us right the ship. As you may have noticed, Mark is not collecting upfront money for any of the new 45s. This is a stratgey we've agreed on specificially so we don't wind up in the same situation we're in with Midas and Toddlin' Town. We're doing everything we can to keep things moving in the right direction. Many appolgies for the long wait and slow response time. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concners at sales@secretstashrecords.com Sincerely, Eric Foss Secret Stash Records

I have replied to your PM and will state here that I have contacted Secret Stash directly and have passed this onto them to address as a natter of urgency, I feel a little like being between a rock and a hard place on this as I work for Secret Stash with my now involvement with the 45 releases, by association here and being here in the UK on the front line as it were feel a reasonability to defend the company but totally understand the concerns raised here.

I have just sent an email directly to the States on this and explained that this thread has been started, if anyone with concerns on this can contact me directly via a PM here or email bicknellmark@aol.com the individual messages and emails will be directly forwarded to who needs to see them in the States. Mark.

Firstly they are not crooks, secondly I have responded straight away to anyone who has been having problems or concerns regarding the Midas Album, as it's been stated the CD/Album subscription thing was something which was started before I became involved with the company, any concerns from people who contact me regarding this has been acted upon straight away, although it's not directly my responsibility by association and being the UK arm of the company endeavour to try and sought out any problems as I did for Chalky and am trying to resolve for Dave Rimmer,if I missed John Siret's email on this then I am now on it, I will now contact the USA regarding this and will try and resolve this situation as soon as possibly, with the success of the new 45's I personally, if their is a breakdown of communication on this can I ask people with any concerns to contact me directly and again I will be on it for you and at least find out and confirm if there is any delay with current subscriptions to the One-derful series of albums from Secret Stash.
