If you don't have any luck with the grading you want, I have a spare at home in VG+ if memory serves me right? But can't check until the weekend.

I know but had already mentioned it on Facebook.

A rare record indeed and a bargain at that price.

That's what I was thinking?

Let me just say, I've heard it . . . . . and it's awesome!!! Can't / won't say any more than that.

I've always found myself tipping my hat to the B-side, "I'm Gonna Make It". But like you said both sides are brilliant. Btw, this was one of Roger Eagle's 'favourite records' and got some plays down the Twisted Wheel.

If you're referring to my comments earlier Otis, I've already said, I'm not sure anymore. I'm pretty sure though that it wasn't either of the first two you mentioned.

Could be Rick, To be honest, now we've heard from Brian re Mazel's, I'm beggining to wonder just where it was??? Defo in Manchester though.

Absolute Bargain!!!

I'll second that. Quality nights, quality records, quality experience. That goes for Klubb Magnus too.

I'm on as well.

Yeah, one particular second hand record shop in Kensington, of which there were at least two, had some brilliant records pass through their racks. I bought nearly half a collection of absolute mint Soul records on labels like Stateside, Cameo Parkway, Black Atlantic, Red Atlantic, Columbia, Parlophone, Capitol, London, etc, etc, etc, whilst my old pal Frank (RIP) bought the other half. I ended up getting a few of them as well in swops and deals. There were a few shops like that in Liverpool and it somehow felt like me and Frank had them mostly to ourselves, based on the kinda stuff we picked up. Sadly, not like that anymore. You'd be hard pushed to find a handful of that kind of second hand record shop anymore in Liverpool, or elsewhere for that matter.

Ralphs and Spin In sound familiar, it might have been one of them. When I say 70s Brian, I mean 1970 / 1971 (/ 1972 at the latest). Most of my English collection came from the shops around Liverpool, of which, at one time, there were many. If you include second hand shops as well. Ah well, never mind, it's all in the past now.

Just guessing but perhaps it would have to go down as a Gift?

Thanks smudger

I did most of my record hunting in and around Liverpool on a weekly basis, visiting Manchester about once a month. So, for me, it would have been around the very early 70s. Does that help? Will admit though, I don't fully remember whether the bar was a suitable diameter for small British sized holes, or larger for the American Imports?

Where am I thinking of then Brian?

Pre 4 me. It was magical. Hard work, but magical.

That's what I thought Ste, thanks for that.

Yes, the cost of carriage is added, as well as the cost of any insurance. I can't see how either of those two costs have anything to do with the value of the item, nor how either of them add value to the item, which is what Vat is, isn't it, value added tax.

Thanks Shaun

Hmmm? Next time you spot a Timi Yuro and / or a Darrell Banks on London up for grabs, think on and let me know. Ta.

That's an alternate perception I hadn't thought of.

Wise decision.

Yeah? Having said that, if Darrell Banks on London ain't that rare, then why don't I have a copy? Because of available funds perhaps? I mean, what does that sell for these days? Also, Timi Yuro, with a centre?
