Ebay Problems
After many successful purchases on ebay it seems I have finally been caught out. Unfortunately it's a biggie. I bought a copy of Elbie Parker on Veep from a seller in USA on 28th May and sent money immediately via Paypal. Nothing arrived so contacted him - no reply. Escalated as a dispute and had no response so filed a claim with Paypal. I'm still waiting whilst they investigate but since then he has had several negative feedback entries indicating he has done the same to others. He seems to have used the Paypal mailing service via USPS but clicking on the link indicates they were expecting the package but did not receive it. Gutted would be putting it mildly, the record is a life long want - I'm sure you can gather how much I have lost. The seller was : Timothy Engle 1034 Inverrary ln Deerfield, IL 60015 United States buytoappreciate@earthlink.net Ebay ID = floortoceilingmusic I'll add updates as things progress and, of course will set the record straight if this turns out to be a simple error, although that seems unlikely now. If anyone can help, I'd be grateful. John.

Pet Hates On The Scene?
Yep, that's the one, totally agree. Would add - too many DJs and unimaginative DJs (possibly as a result of the above).

Kim Tolliver
Totally agree Paul, a star that never really shone. For me I guess it's "I Don't Know What Foot To Dance On" and more recently, the brilliant deep soul masterpiece "Where Were You" Best, John.

Luther Ingram, Dena Barnes + Others

Choons That Make You Cry
Sure we've done this before but: Winstons - Colour Him Father Will Downing - Grandma's Hands J.

Talc - Love It Or Loathe It?
Totally agree, it's just ritual and was never of that much importance or used as widely as legend says. It's also unhealthy to breathe the stuff in all night long. If you can dance, you don't need it. J.

Vigor Records
Agree Baz, plenty of good stuff on there and not too expensive. Always loved Pat Lundi - Party Music. Big Mecca spin that went big everywhere at the time. J.

Trouble In Northants?
Looks like a boot to me mate.

Trouble In Northants?
Well, they may not be well known but to us in the "inner circle". Mind you, they played a slightly smaller role: Virl & Tom Osmond J.

Trouble In Northants?
ROFL mate - big time. But wait a minute, maybe we could set up some decks and...............

Trouble In Northants?
Well shoot that poison arrow Pete, you got me there. Disagree with you about Merrill though. I liked Virl.

Trouble In Northants?
Ah, just realised I have been confusing it with "ABC" for years. Now THAT was definately the Jackson Five - wasn't it?
-
Trouble In Northants?
Good heavens, he's right! Glad I logged in now.
-
Trouble In Northants?
Now that's interesting Sean. I had always thought it the Jackson 5. Well well, you learn something everyday. What an interesting thread......... So, where is Northants?

Bobby Herb Not Hebb
Thanks Ian, I didn't know that and it's fascinating. I'll listen to the song in a different light now. The Bobby Herb thing is probably a spelling error by typesetter at printers, as such, I suppose it could be rare but it would take a "special" type of collector to pay out for it.......... John.

What Was Your First Decent Soul Record
First decent record, partly because it started my whole journey - Supremes - Stoned Love on UK Motown. Bought with paper round money and I still remember the excitement of buying it and playing it for the first time. First "northern" original - JJ Barnes - Please Let Me In on Ric Tic. Bought from balcony record stall at Wigan. Still love 'em both. J.

Rarest Soul 12"
Here we go again..........this keeps coming up. I prefer Jesse Henderson - by miles. Got both L of H reissue (shown above) and Lasso (which is also boot??) but then we've had that thread before methinks. Back to Dave's thread though, original is rare! John.
