Bearsy - I only put stuff on Ebay after I have offered it to the people on my mailing list, and then the people on soul source. It's not fair on the people who've been buying off me for years to go for the greedy auction option, so I just stick a price on it and hope it sells...in this case I could have sold 5 copies easy but at the end of the day, I paid £850 for 200 records and this was one of them so when the maths is done, I made a healthy profit.

Good luck with those!

F*cking brilliant track

£125 - £150

I got my mate to do the same, he got 2 or 3 copies, I got one, though he also worked with the bloke who actually wrote the record, Dave McGerty, who was a security guard at the time...

Yes they were.

I'm gonna have to do a search to find all your old posts re. video clips as I want to download them again and put them on my mp3/mpeg player thing...was I a mug not to keep back ups of mine or what!

Is it? Wouldn't know...never got past the first 20 seconds of it

£60 for that pile of cack, I was laughing all the way to the off license yesterday

I was just going to say, for the people who have nothing to swap, I'll send them something anyway, don't want anything back - I must have given away over 100 reggae ska rocksteady cd's on here in the last 4 years or so. I'll be up for the swap too but a) I don't want to swap with Gordy cos he's got everything I've got and b ) I don't want any Studio One or Coxsone stuff cos it's overrated and useless after 68 anyway

Updated the list

Trouble with that record is that it's got one of the greatest, most attention-grabbing first 20 seconds then it does nothing else!

Yeah it's inbetween the blue of Ben Aiken and the green of Rosetta Johnson

It's a greeny blue! There's a greeny blue Tarpon and a blue Tarpon.

There's two Tarpon presses of Denise Lasalle though, and one is very much the same colour as the OOTP Invitations..

Steve the card for the camera got ruined and I couldn't transfer it with the lead because it won't work in f*cking vista. I'll get the ernie andrews for you tomorrow with a bit of luck

Jackie Edwards £460, I'd have sold mine for half that, or a third even, sold a no centre one earlier this year for £40

I saw a weird one yesterday, the UK Capitol 1975 issue of Ernie Andrews - Fine Young Girl, but with a solid centre, never seen one like that before. I have about 70 singles on Pama and it's related labels, mainly reggae, I would say 70 are push outs and 30 are solid.

By the way, I do actually know that the Baby Washington went for over £300 on John Manships auction recently but there's no accounting for nutcases and to be honest, both Mick Smith and myself didn't rate it at even £100...
