For heavens sake $5.000 for this ? Boy I hope it plays OK because it looks sh**ty................

Yes I know it's real screw up. If it's a seller who reads his messages and acts on them you can usually mail and tell him which ones you want and he'll invoice accordingly. What I have done is pay the shipping charges on all of them and get seller to refund, done this about 3 times.

I just had to post this, nicked from internet, this must be a really rare piece of vinyl ! LEBANON I thought my Filipino Major Lance - Investigate was "foreign"

I assume we're talking about "KeithRed" here ? Doesn't seem to be anything for sale right now ?

Big risk, could be a hisser

The world's gone mad...................it may go to $3000.00 before the day's over

It'll add another £100.00 to value for sure

Did it ever come out on a 7" ?

£200.00 - 225.00

Bought a NAD C 320 in 2001 still going very, very strong, thoroughly recommended.

Was looking at her name on some credits at the weekend, a real talent for sure, if I'm correct she was in her 90s when she departed.

Sellers don't actually "charge" for postage, they price it up and the decision to accept it or not is the buyers'. I always add it to the price of the record and make my decision on total cost. Buying from the US can range from $10.00 and anything up to $28.00. If it's the latter I always challenge it and ask for an explanation, usually they'll come down, I quote the USPS website calculation. UK postage costs are pretty good, perhaps only bettered by Holland and the US. Paying up to about £2.75 for a 1st class signed for (remember there's £50.00 insurance included) isn't extortion and anything over that value should go special delivery at about £5.50 - 7.00.

I made myself one from cardboard, I take it with me when I go the post office just in case there's a discussion with the person on the other side of the counter.

This is at £270.00 right now with less than a day t go, will probably go over £300.00, looks in "reasonable" condition. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371238525493?_trksid=p2055359.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Many thanks

I wasn't aware of that, I bought about 7 or 8 of them in the US and Italy. Down to my last one, any suggestions for a replacement ?

I've just had the reverse, a mint copy of Valentines - Breakaway, used to jump in several places now plays fine

It's quite difficult to tell them apart. I have friends who have owned boots for years not knowing that they were not originals. Also I know someone who bought a boot only to find it was an original. Buy it on Jay Boy it's an original release and there are no pressings Good luck.

Well, if you have paid via Paypal you should be covered, I would go that route because I'm guessing you won't be buying from him again. Good luck.

Price wise it's a tough buyers market right now but you should be able to get all the above for less than £30.00 a piece. It really depends on what you intend to do, if it's a bedroom DJ then these are fine, maybe even playing in a pub with some mates. If you want to take it further be prepared for some serious spending. Good luck
