SOULFUL TWINS -TAKES ME BACK TO THE DAY REALLY- DUG IT OUT THE OTHER NIGHT AND IT SOUNDS SO GOOD-!!! BAZ A

ive got records up to 200 in the book for less than 50.00 -but so what -firstly the market reajusts in tough financial times [helps collectors]secondly the price quide is a quide so market value for all these deals cannot be gaged,its very much what certain items go for at the time etc depending on the free market and ability to pay!! Alot of returnees who imo were buying the likes of the Ruby Andrews etc have gone away or went into retirement homes so the legacy is again a drop on items we all thought "no way is this record worth that"all has a knock on effect! But yep still a fluent market bought a couple of hard wants both 400 in the book in the last guide and thats what I paid -certain records on this scene have always hit their mark !! Generally however its definetly the time to sqeeze more out of a deal-more so now than perhaps the last 15 years!!! BAZ A HAPPY HUNTING!!!

hello Mate the Charles Spurling flip is without doubt one of the best deep soul records ever imho-tis some double sider that record!!!Someone snap one up!!! BAZ A

Well done Paul, a good lad with a bigger heart than most-it aint easy work either -spend 6 years working for the Probation service many moons ago and its a hard job indeed-hats off to you mate and hope your well!!! BAZ ATKINSON.

BRILLIANT HAPPENS ALOT AT US RECORD FAIRS -SOME VOICE THAT MAN HAS!!! BAZ A

Ebay were also involved on a test court case last year after they prevented people from selling promos. Ebay lost the case and now allows promo copies of records and CDs to be sold. So I don't think the STO was correct to prevent you from selling these items Absolutely also theire is a wider issue ie restrain of trade,after the first copyright law!!! Could do with some expertise here ADY TONY PAUL M to get an inside view!!! BAZ A

To me the issue is not about the legislation or lack of it it is about enforcement and how that is structured and regulated -Universal losing a case well that in itself is very interesting bearing in mind their financial clout so you can bet your doller that a strong appeal may ensue but so what -its finger in the air imho "has the sex or race discrimination act stopped racism or sexism ? So the old law lords wait for the test case "which costs a bomb -with no recommendation that institutionally biased Judges make the right decison "there usually do screw up at some point lol,and then what back to the issue of enforcement !!! Dont understand the point re the sale of goods act also it was brought in to protect the customer first and foremost and I do beleive that the first copyright rule although frought with issues is a pretty solid principle,the article has got me thinking however about the wider issue of piracy and how does promotional give aways to radio stations etc fit in with the potential action? Also is it not common practice that the record industry have used since time and memorium and suddenly there are pissed because somone is selling promos [bOLLOCKS ]this is about corporate power and loss of potential market share -mainly necesitated by the fact that the music industry conclomarates cannot regulate downloads and are thus needing a bit success DO NOT RELY ON LAW LORDS FOR COMMON SENSE THEIR ARE TO BUSY GETING MARSH MALLOWS THROWN AT THEM BE MISS WHIP LASH AND PLANNING THEIR NEXT TRIP TO VISIT MADAME SIN!!! BAZ A.

AT THE TIME THESE WERE FETCHING DECENT MONEY ANYONE GOT A DISCOGRAPHY? BAZ A

hello Nev hope your well mate -the demo is slihtly harder the book says 500 the issue is 400 [so yet again its free market time] to my knowledge this was not booted but i could be wrong [boots lying about that much these days its hard to keep abrest. BAZ A
