A really nice guy - sad news. Dx

The Q 'That's The Way' on orange Hound are defo dodgy coz I remember my landlord when I was in Swindon (Danny Huff) coming back with a shed load of them that he got off one of the band members, who'd re-pressed them. Dx

Merely trimmed the sideys to a manly earlobe length mate - tash - accidentally cut that off 2 years ago (slipped with a razor whilst thinning it down - musn't look too boystown!) - first time Pete had ever seen me without it (I've only ever cut if off twice since I could grow one) - took about 1 hour for him to stop saying it made me look younger and to agree I should grow it back as soon as possible (I looked like the toad man off the League of Gentlemen without it). Dx PS I've heard it said pretty authoritatively (by someone that knew what they were talking about) that Willie Small was played at the Wheel - can anyone comment?

Pete was dead worried this morning til I persuaded him it was a scam. Dx

Fear is Scotty Williams

Brian Rae and Sam maybe...

Don't know if anyone else has ever had this but I just had my paypal account randomly frozen (presumably because of increased activity). They wouldn't put it back online until I'd sent them all sorts of proof of postage, a scan of my driving licence (they wanted invoices as well until I finally persuaded them I was selling part of a private record collection, most of which I'd owned for 25 years) etc. This stop might have been understandable if had never sold stuff on the account before (I usually sell about £2-5k a year of various things) and I didn't have 100% positive feedback going back 12 years - but it's effing annoying being treated like a criminal. Anyway FINALLY back on (having had to make a 30 mile round trip home to get the postage proof stuff). Anyone who's ordered records - everything paid up to Monday Evening was posted yesterday (80 odd packages) the remainder paid yesterday and first thing this morning will be posted today. Dave (carne4464)

Have to say I've been surprised at what has sold and what hasn't at the cheaper end of the stuff I've been offloading - I think it's largely the traditional eBay-itis - if something's well know to be rare and valuable it goes silly (I got £330 for one of my records that though it's a great record I consider common - a £30 sound at most, though currently in demand) whereas other really rare things that aren't widely known as 'something to have to impress your mates with' have had little or no interest. Dx

You sound like me 30 years ago in almost every detail (except I was 18 when I went to my first nighter) - welcome aboard, it's a privilege to have you here. Dx

Got it for sale on eBay now. Dx

A lot of classic Northern tunes and some big originals like Carol Anderson and The Falcons' Good Good Feeling, lots more going on too: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190979475629?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
