Pete S

Am going to try and organise a sales/wants/swaps section today

I can tell you a really good one to start with and it's a 4.99 budget one: Northern Soul Hall Of Fame (Sony BMG)...includes: williams & watson sandi sheldon major lance dana valery van dykes little richard vibrations tobi legend mvp's shane martin beverly ann spellbinders dean courtney and so on - some of the best oldies from Columbia, Epic, Okeh and RCA

Always happens to me, I've had a Ray & Dave listed on this site for weeks, finally put it on ebay, get something like £50 for it and the next day someone puts out a wants for it

I'd take it for that price!

I'm starting to wonder if theres some kind of glitch in the ebay system

Was going to use it Mace but it said it was too busy at the moment!

Yeah I think so too because this is deliberate - when you leave negative, it comes up with a warning asking if you are sure you want to - this guy is doing it on purpose

I think maybe I'll have a look at the members forum see if they know anything...

He's obviously f*cking nuts.

Just noticed he did it to someone else as well, left good comments but negative! https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...id=220162112404

Bloke has left me negativefeedback but it was meant to be positive - "excellent great transaction" or whatever but he's clicked negative (even though it comes up with a warning), anyway, does anyone know if there is an appeal against this?

Only G and you still want 200 for it? Whats that make a mint one, £800?

Les McCann - Sad little girl...what a track, overlooked cos it's an lp track I guess...

Here's a Hit Pack without the Bell distribution

Rubberneckin...but has anyone ever heard it played anywhere?

Well I have to say "I don't know" cos I haven't heard them, but the one on Pye might be a likely suspect!

Mick Smith still whinges about me taking 1200 quids worth of trades for my stocker of Vickie Baines

Good afternoon tommy ridgley - my love gets stronger - international city 2200 mint little ritchie - just another hearache - sound stage 7 mint 500 channel three - sweetest thing - dakar issue mint 300 cynthia and imaginary three - thats what i am - big hit mint minus 300. four voices - my love is getting stronger - original green voice mint 1400 (relisted not paid for last time) PM if interested, many thanks, Pete

https://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZmayfair...1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0? few decent bits and pieces there

I have bought it since issue 6 in 1979, though I got it free for 5 or 6 years when I used to write for them and do the price guide, but I buy it now becauseI'm interested in rare records of all genres not just soul, always have been, which is why I could paste the lot of you at pop quiz

You aren't out of touch Paul.

I'm quoting this directly from a feature on the Beatin Rhythm record shop in Manchester, published in this months Record Collector magazine.. "In terms of high ticket items, owner Martin Koppell sold his copy of Frank Wilsons Do I Love you to jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell for £15,000"

Could they give hima ring and tell him to check his PM's and Ebay messages please, seriously, would be very grateful, cheers

Yeah but have you heard it? Irish version of The Statue...hmm
