Think I have all of those except K-Jee which I sold just a few days ago, they won't be expensive, if you can find them elsewhere please do but I'll find out by tomorrow

Ah but they could have been played as often as 60 year old records!

That must be it.

Friend of mine sent a record to someone on here who didn't believe the record existed. Chap on here didn't even acknowledge that he'd been sent it.

Don't call me your friend, friends don't try to rob one another. Why didn't you just say you weren't happy with it and were going to send it back, not you weren't happy with it and you wanted money off it? For that. The record was graded as EX but played better. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. The fact is that you tried to extort money out of me for that tiny little label problem. Most people would be embarrassed to try and get money off for that. I know I would. Especially as the vinyl was spot on. And you deleted the PM's so that I couldn't access them.

See the problem is, these "video cassettes", when I moved to this place we got a skip and I chucked every single videotape I had, over 1000, about 700 were films and the rest were music going back to when I first had a VHS recorder, 82-83, I must have been mad but I got fed up of carting them around - and I even offered them up on here for free but nobody wanted them, so in the skip they went...

Alright sunshine I have found the program for you, I'll burn it on a disc and send it down to you ok. Just make sure this is the right thing. A look at the Top Ten of 1960s soul hosted by Smokey Robinson. It look back to the glory days of Berry Gordy's Motown label, and the underbelly of an industry that was rife with sex, drugs and infighting. The three remaining members of The Four Tops (Levi Stubbs, Obie Benson and Duke Fakir( talk about their unblemished success as the longest running group in pop music history. Aretha Franklin talks about her career from her roots in the Church and gospel music to her later stardom. She also talks about her tempestuous first marriage, the pain of which she transformed in to some of her most memorable songs. Otis Redding's managers Phil and Alan Walden talk about Redding, and the programme features film of his last ever performance recorded the day before he died. Otis Williams, the only surviving original member of The Temptations talks about the band's turbulent times and how despit infighting the won Motown its first Grammy with `Papa was a Rolling Stone'. Jimmy Ruffin, brother of David Ruffin of The Temptations explains how the pressures of fame led David to a death by crack overdose in 1991. Marvin Gaye's brother Frankie talks about his brothers career and about his murder by their father. The programme also examines how Motown suppressed Gaye's rebellious streak by teaming him with a series of female artists including Tammi Terrell. The programme looks at Sam and Dave, considered by many to be the most successful double act in soul music history despite the fact that they thoroughly depised each other and barely spoke for 12 and a half years. Despite their cocaine habits, they still managed to perform together until Dave's death in a car crash in the 1980s. In a special interview Ray Charles describes how he "took Gods music and put the devil's words to it". A musical genius, he was also a notorious womaniser in the 1960s with a legendary penchant for orgies and affairs with his backing singers. He also suffered from a huge heroin addiction but recovered after a dose of serious cold turkey. The programme also features a look at the stories of the Supremes and Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. might be a problem as there is only one seed, i.e. one person on the net with a copy, so to download 1gig off that one person, well it may take a long long time. I will try though p.s. download time 6 hours so should be ok

So there's two or three people on ebay churning out carvers of Northern stuff out at an alarming rate, there's at least 100 on there now, what would they be using to do those?

But if I'd have just taken his word that the Percy Wiggins record was noisy, I'd have given a £25 refund and this is after I'd already reduced it by £25...I knew the record wasn't noisy which is why I asked for it back, and lo and behold, it's not noisy.

How often does it happen? I do two lists a week usually. It happens on every single one.

If you do a close up on this photo, you can see a little bit of the edge of the label has folded underneath. It's not missing. I'd be embarrassed to try to get money off for something like that, especially if there was nothing wrong with the vinyl. If I was unhappy I'd ask for a full refund. Can you imagine the buyer asking Manship for money off for this?

Enclosed is a copy of Jay & The Americans that I sold to our friend on here Orotava. I include it as he has alluded to it earlier in this topic. He demanded money off because apparently the label was terrible. He is referring to the bit at the top where a small part of the label has been pressed underneath at the manufacturing stage. I hadn't even noticed it. The vinyl was between EX and mint. I referred to this as the most pathetic attempt at extortion I'd ever heard of. Not "can I please return for a refund" but "can I have money knocked off"...how much do we reckon that bit of label 'damage' is worth - 10 pence? He would have been expecting a £5 refund for that.

I'm not naming any names but this is what some of us have to live with. This happens regularly on ebay, people trying to get part discounts, but it's happening on here now. The actual email: Percy is dissapointing and plays with quite a bit of noise and therefore I reckon it VG+ and worth £75. Please let me have the return address or alternatively make a £25 part refund and I'll live with it.

Would you believe it, I can get about 6 episodes from that series but soul isn't one of them...DOH!

Could you have a listen to this clip and tell me what you think the play grade is? Now I personally can only hear a couple of pops just before the record starts, after that it sounds pretty perfect to me so I graded it visually VG+ and playwise, EX. This was returned for being 'very noisy'. If you lot can hear surface noise on that, then it's time for me to get off to the hearing aid specialists sadly. 01 percy wiggins.mp3

It was Lennon's subtle way of telling his wife Cynthia about an affair he had whilst on tour in Europe.

Supposedly Andrew Loog Oldham was so taken aback with the record (YLTLF) when he first heard it, he put a full page ad in the Music Press stating it was the greatest record ever made and everyone should buy it immediately.

Well the entire song is about an adulterous affair so it does really...

Those are the new prices Kev, it was £2.15 up until tuesday

It's called Stick Together Gordie

No idea why you got charged so much. Record, mailer, 3 pieces of card board, £2.30 1st class recorded - and I sent out over 30 packages at that weight this week.

Another copy of Lauara Greene this time described as an original 2nd issue and priced at £90! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAURA-GREENE-MOONLIGHT-MUSIC-AND-YOU-KILLER-WIGAN-CASINO-MONSTER-LISTEN-/360628297433?pt=UK_Records&hash=item53f71f1ed9
