Paula Durante still covered up as Rose Batiste on Solid Hit...

Dunno mate. I had a copy of I Surrender (Eddie Holman) on Lebanese ABC and that had a Lebanese address on it.

Got six people asked to be informed about that Lebanon thing. I suppose this is the sort of thing that won't show up again. So what, £40 maybe a bit of a bargain?

The mix is certainly a bit muddy, especially at the start

I beg your pardon, yes he did, I thought it was your post, sorry. Gene knows f*ck all about records anyway

Thats real - it was when you said dark green - this is light green compared to the dark green boot (though there's a light green boot as well)

I was only outbid by $550 on Try My Love

PM for you mister

Actually you're wrong Pikey Dog Bloke, originals are a weird shade of olive green and not dark greean at all. You're right about them being on vinyl though. Some have a picture sleeve as well.

90% of the hiss is caused by bad styli

I saw them when you put them on here, forgot all about it though!

We'll disagree on that then, I thought it was a ridiculously high price for a Grapevine record, it really pains me to pay more than a tenner for any of them considering how many I've sold for less than that in the last year

If you get another copy of Nabay by the way...it's the only one I'm missing now...

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU GET CHANCE! *************************************************** I don't know if this will work but it just might! I was thinking, as I have got a lot of records paid for and on the way to me, why not make a list of them and if anyone is interested in anything, they can put their name down and when the item arrives I can just process the order and send it to them without having to send out more lists. If more than one person is interested in an item, it'll be reserved for the first person to ask, if they drop out it will go to the second, and so on. Fancy giving it a go? I'll note down the condition which I've been informed the record is in, and the estimated price, you reserve the record and when it comes, I send it to you. If the condition is not up to what it is expected to be, I will contact you and inform you of this. Okay well the first list is below. The first few records (marked with an asterisk *) are in stock available NOW to buy. The rest are expected over the next three weeks. Any questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask. N.B. NO MONEY WOULD BE TAKEN UNTIL THE ITEM IS IN STOCK!!! **************************************************************** These are now available JOHNNY ROSS & SOUL EXPLOSIONS - I CAN'T HELP MYSELF - CHIRRUP (first original I've ever seen) EX 100 JO ANN KING - LET THEM LOVE AND BE LOVED - FAIRMOUNT DJ EX- 50 Fantastic B side on this one as well "Don't Play With Fire" WILLIE & THE HANDJIVES - GOTTA FIND A NEW LOVE - VEEP EX 60 Very rare on a yellow stock copy MARJORIE BLACK - ONE MORE HURT - SUE EX 100 Belter - great vinyl copy ESTHER PHILLIPS - JUST SAY GOODBYE - ATLANTIC DEMO VG++ 50 Can't make my mind up about this, sounds slightly distorted on the very high notes but it might be me...any problems, full refund no questions asked POINTER SISTERS - SEND HIM BACK - ATLANTIC DEMO MINT 125 Stunning..unplayed..absolutely beautiful and this time it's vinyl not that nasty styrene BUTCH BAKER - BATMAN AT THE GOGO - ST LAWRENCE Super rare stock copy EX- 250 SOLD THE RIVIERAS - YOU COUNTERFEIT GIRL - RILEYS EX 160 Superb Detroit dancer HONEY TOWNSEND - THE WORLD AGAIN - MALA DEMO EX 30 Brilliant instrumental *************************************************************** These are on the way and can be reserved if definite orders.

You know on Ebay you used to be able to put in a bidders name and you could see what they were bidding on? Well it looks as though they've stopped this. Now it only shows you what they've either won or lost, not what they are currently bidding on. Until I put my own user name in and it showed everything! Anyone know what's up with this?

You might have to ring me to explain this a bit further Pete cos I'm not quite sure what you mean!

Not arrived yet mate so can't say til I see condition up close...I know this is a Wigan record BTW...early Wigan

OK it's sold again now, apologies to anyone I've kept waiting for a reply, nice of people to try to sabotage my sale, especially as this is my living but I've come to expect it to be honest

That turns up a lot in old collections

Sale fell through due to credit card problem

Just noticed he's got a second pack of 5 records for sale - well blow me down, if they haven't reached their reserve of £250 and, my goodness, it's the same bidder as before
