It says "(P) 1968" on the label so no surprise seller thinks it's a 1968 release. Unfair to take the piss out of him IMO

Last bump, all auctions ending in a few hours...

I know three Hy-Tones tracks only, "You don't even know my name", "bigger and better" and "good news". It's still hard for me to believe they're the same group on all three songs. Musical style and vocals are sooo different. E.g. "YDEKMN" sounds poppy and blue-eyed whereas "good news" is pure Sam & Dave. What do you guys think?

End of week bump. All auctions ending tomorrow (saturday) afternoon. And remember, FREE P&P!

same Innovation 2 as Babs Hall?

Phew! Lucky me, the one I bought is on Innovation. I didn't know it came out on two labels, that's why I wrote Int. Music Bag in my post.

Thanks but I'm already sorted...

Ray Pollard did a bit of cameo acting. Raymond of Michael & Raymond was/is an actor, or was it Michael? Barbara McNeir was full-time actor and only part-time singer. Edit: Dave, sorry didn't see the 'singing performance cameo'

They're probably just bored of the vocal take (like me).

When I first read that I thought 'what the f*ck is he talkin about? Contemplations is rare and expensive'. But Dave you're right, Popsike shows quite a few Contemplations copies being sold rather cheap. Definitely the one I'd buy if I was after a copy...

How about a name and shame for very slow paying or even non-paying Ebay buyers? I only auction stuff every once in a while. But share of buyers either not paying until very last Ebay reminder (e.g. 14 days after end of auction) or not paying at all increases and increases. Auctioned three discs last weekend. One disc was paid for within a few hours. Two others no payment or reply from buyers so far.

Late 80s. Quite a few people here in Munich who collected at that time got copies in soul packs

I think these prices are realistic. But I'd rather splash out for the Contemplations issue, very same record but has the benefit of the instrumental take on the flip. Downside is it's about 4 or 5 times dearer than Rock Candy.

interesting one. flip side certainly sam backing as dottie & millie on topper. a side backing reminds me of tobi lark - talkin' about love on topper. I agree with grant, voice sounds familiar. I'd say it's rather tobi lark than monique if it's one of them. i take it it's a proper press, i.e. no acetate?

Thanks for all the info, much appreciated. Haven't made my mind up yet whether to look out for the 45 or the album of AITM. I think I'll try to find both. Anyone with a reasonable priced copy of the "Check it out" album?

Bump! Auction ending tomorrow afternoon. Still at bargain price and remember, free P&P!! Bid now if you're off line over the weekend...

Not correct, If you pay for insured post it's insured until it reaches its destination, no matter where this is. Maybe you mix it up with the tracking ID the PO office issues. This ID is infact useless for online tracking once the letter/parcel leaves your country. But it still can be traced even if it's a bit inconvenient as you have to go down to your local PO office and fill in a form. I seriously doubt that. How on Earth can Paypal prefer one certain transport company with no whatsoever affiliation? Does FedEx deliver domestic in the UK? I.e. sender and receiver both in the same country? They don't do that in Germany as far as I understand.

If anyone else is after such a bag, Jazzman Records have recently made a similar one. Check their website.
