Hi post brexit ,2020, goods purchased outside eu ,into Uk are charged VAT at around 20% Plus import duties tarrifs etc if goods exceed 135 Pounds in value.... Discogs add Vat on you total bill including shipping. You probably have bought all your discs in uk previuosly,, so no such charge is made. As a full Spanish resident and I was buying from Shuttleworth in uk ,I would incur 21% vat plus import duties and tarrifs ( they just add it anyway !) Finally expect huge delay as goods are held in customs. Solutions ??? declare items as gifts (How?) or avoid EU and Buy British only. Cheers , John.

Hi Think Smart, Absolutely,, ,screams out ,"Happy, Skippy ,jumpy, floaty sunshine pop" of the Late sixties US eg, Keith, .Robert John , Grass roots , Buckinghams and a steal from Paul Ankas "when we get there "? Personally, I love it, in small doses, ,and the video dancers epitomise the clean cut image too match the music ( not a clue of identity , no importante !)

A much covered tune , 50 Plus versions, written by the "Winner" Gene Mc Daniels. Checkout Ray Charles 1980 take issued in US , Europe & UK on 45," Compared to Stef ",,,rather good methinks ?

My Fave , from long lost member ,, Kegsy," He has a PHD in talking Utter Bollocks"! Guess Who ???

Mike Apologies ,my mistake , will do , John

Hi Mr T, Some great Items,, whats the best you can do on Shirey Ellis" Soul Time " to include Shipping to Malaga, Spain ,Basic no register i use pay Cheers Have a great Day.

O, Jays, "I Dig Your Hat" , Tony and Tyrone "My Babys Got a Bad Back " or "My babys Got Her Bags Packed" ? Finally an unknown , to us, at the time, Ramsey Lewis Instrumental, on a terrible microphone at the Wheel became "Mixing Mortar".

Hi Soul Slider and Pga1, "Forget me not " spoken intro is "Each Night ,I Will Pray For Peace On Earth, Goodwill To all Men, And my little Heart Will Say these tender Words ,,Time and Time Again ",,Forget Me Not!! etc. The Stoned love demo U.S Motown 1172 ,red vinyl and black ?? contains long . 3.43 & short 2.49. The long Original versions also came out on Motown Yesteryear, and Pensyllvania Collectables , the long version contains a sax break and added handclaps . The Hit 2.49 take is for me a totally different Frank Wilson Mix ;;sharper and brighter sound. Cheers ,John, Malaga,Spain. P.S Long version spoken intro, "Now I want to tell You, Of a Great Love , A Love that Will Light Up the Whole world ,If You Just Believe It Will ",,. ( Not a Dry Eye in The House)

As a Motown completist ,could anyone confirm which 45 issue has the "Cheesey "spoken intro intact on "Forget Me Not",, originally b side of Gordy 7070 ,1968. BG ,diskliked spoken intro s, but was proved right ; "Stoned Love ", "Brokenhearted" etc Cheers ,John.

Hi Woodie B, Gacias for that minuto correction! I spent a lifetime in explosives training,,,, and detonater delays where in Milliseconds! " glorious examples of the sales persons Craft ,can you name the authors?

" Cocooned in its birth sleeve since July 4th 1966". "Northern Dancer, cult spin for many years in more progressive clubs and Weekenders across the World ,every chance of being a monster in Europe also!" Wow , this sellers geographical knowledge and certainty truly amazing? "Close to mint Minus; a discreet drill hole, the only pimple on its beautiful face, a fine gossamer storage hairline, hardly another freckle to be seen, a split ,Millisecond squeak on intro. " Well Thank god for that, only a millionth of a second???

Jukebox wax excellent for me ! Talk to Debbie, they have done many Motown Cellarful of soul Unnisued On vinyl 45,, cut from legal royalties paid CDs,one off for personal use. Custom lable etc, after many years no deteriation in sound quality and perfect mix quality. John, Malaga,Spain.

"It,s All Over"; The Funk Brothers ,band track ,is the winner for me ! Would buy this in a heartbeat on 7 incher (with the Isley,s Vocal ,if found, on the Flip if not Brenda, "Without Love "). In my Earlier post I dismissed the Vol 5 , Cellarfull of motown ,how did I miss this Stone cold Killer Instrumental? Perhaps because I skipped through tracks on initial play, and missed the magic arrival of heavenly piano and strings. Well done Mr Hubbard you are an Angel! John , Malaga ,Spain.

Edwin Starr "I just wanted to Cry " ; War and Peace Lp (and obscure German 45) Marvin Gaye "This is my beloved" ; I wish it would rain Lp Marvin Gaye "I m Gonna Give you Respect" ; European double Lp Marvin Gaye "Where Are we Going" ; 12 inch & very obscure Japanese45 Chuck Jackson "Sin Estar Tu No Brill El Sol" ; Arrives L p & very, very , obscure Argentine 45. Sorry for cheating a bit , but I feel all the best motown stormers, have come out via Universal and Richards Sevens. The last volume 5 of " Cellarfull" was poor ( Only Brenda Holloways "Without Love ,You lose a Good Feeling "worthy of plays out). All of the tracks so far chosen are readily and cheaply available on CD or LP. Great Post ,Happy Feet .
