Been gone a month Steve sorry, old list

I sold it Steve sorry.

It might be another take but I'm pretty sure it's a different singer - first version Jenny Haan, second version Ellie Hope, if not it's a totally different take. But I think the UK version was edited down from an LP anyway.

It's got a completely different vocalist on it guys, I said so above, if you check the two versions you'll see

I once had a job standing at the end of a conveyer belt putting those tags onto bags of muesli to seal them, 8 hours of that with no radio or anything. I think I've done worse jobs but can't remember any right now.

There was a Capitol import though, came out after the UK one and used the same backing track with a different vocalist. Not a lot of people know that

Yes, in that area of the world

But I sell 90% of my stuff on my mailing list Nev. And the owner of the record already knows what we have decided to do as far as prices go. Take the lot I'm doing this week for instance. He sent the records, I gave an estimate of lowest and highest prices per record, he couldn't believe it as many were double what he thought they were going to be. So he, having received £2700 in 5 days for a handful of records is very happy. I only listed about 20 and sold 12 or so. I am also happy with the 20% I received. So you probably do need my help by the looks of it Nev, cos we're all happy at this end.

No I'm not inferring it's a recent bootleg - it was done circa 1978 - I just wondered why.

A very, very good point. "Well JM sold one for £500 why've you only got it for £200"? "Theres one on Popsike twice as much as you're asking" and so on...

Did anyone find out anything about this - which side, what's it like - it's certainly not the well known track of the same name

I don't remember this coming out but maybe Dave Evison played it once as a revive and someone decided it needed booting - just two years after it sold a good 20,000 copies on UK Capitol. This is one of the most bizarre ones I've ever seen Babe Ruth - Elusive

Doesn't with me - I'll still undercut as many people as possible.

Yes well done Drew. I've never been back since the day it closed, always wanted to, just couldn't do it.

Great record

Yes, as was the Inticers

Such an attractive label https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-inch-REGGAE-FROM-THE-GHETTO-JOHN-HOLT-/281414009684?pt=UK_Records&hash=item4185950354

OK I have just had a classic example of this. I sold a black issue of The Metros - Since I Found My Baby. The customer is worried because it doesn't look like any other copies he can find on the net, he says it's styrene (it's not) and the title is on two lines instead of one line. He thinks it might be dubious. So first I have to prove that I do not sell dubious records as originals, and then come up with proof. I find 100 pictures of the one with the title in a straight line, but also find 3 copies with the title on two lines. I send him these and hope that he is convinced that he now has the rarest pressing. If not, he is welcome to send the record back where he will get a full refund. Repeat that a few times over a month and you'll see why a lot of people don't want to be involved in selling their own records.

That company has turned up before in discussions about Simon Soussan, I think there was an Inticers acetate from the same address

Many reasons Nev. The main one is them not wanting to get involved in the selling process and having to deal with all aspects of it, from simply cleaning the records, researching them, listing them, selling them, posting them and then dealing with the customer if not happy. The process takes time if you're not used to doing it and many people don't have that time to spare, or want the hassle. I take a lot of time doing this for people, I don't just get the records and slam them on a list, I have them for a couple of weeks making preparations before they get listed. But it's a full time job for me,which I love, of course.

I've got one Steve. Was reserved monday but not paid for.

Yeah it was my list Steve

Come on Dave, you won't miss £25 over 3 months, you pay an awful lot more on ebay.
