Modern Man

Yes the track was actually the B side of her 1st single “Rebel” and easily the best song from her 3 singles to date for me.

On the odd occasion I’ve had to make a claim I’ve never had a problem as I always make sure I use an adequate service with the correct compensation level for the value of the item and always keep the posting receipt for a couple of years to avoid possible Paypal “charge back” scam claims etc. Can’t see the problem here. So long as you have the original posting receipt Royal Mail should honour the claim provided that you have filled in the claim form correctly and provided the standard details they ask for such as photographs of the damaged item etc. Should you have to take them to the small claims court it’s highly likely they won’t defend the action due to the costs involved for them and even if they did you should win as long as you can show you have followed a correct line of procedure. Good luck hope you get your money back.

Please PM to purchase payment by Paypal standard and no quibble refund in the unlikely event you are unhappy so long as you pay for return postage. All prices include delivery within U.K. 1) Mary Saxton “Take My Heart” on Canadian Quality Records NM condition I’ve owned this from new, bought from Soul Bowl back in the day. Been sat in the box unplayed for nearly 40 years - recently cleaned and stored in an anti-static inner sleeve to prevent paper burn + scuffing £75 delivered in U.K. Genuinely played no more than 5 times from new please see photographs of actual records at end of post… 2) Bobby Wells “Let’s Copp A Groove” USA Romur 1st issue advance release special DJ copy nice and clean in at least Excellent condition £55. 3) Melinda Marx “What” USA Vee-Jay mostly plays excellent all the way through but downgraded to VG only due to small semi circular mark shown in photograph that causes minor click several times (does not overpower the music but it has to be mentioned) £35

If you just buy soul stuff then granted it probably wasn’t the most interesting list of releases. I only bothered with the Winfield Parker 7” “I Wanna Be With You” which I believe was a limited pressing of 1000 if the blurb I read was correct. Was unable to visit the shops on RSD due to work but picked one up easily enough on the Monday night online sales. Still plenty left should anyone of missed it both in store + online. Hope those who queued on the Saturday managed to get most of what they wanted…

Another 7” I think is worth a mention is this from January:

These aren’t necessarily the only worthy releases I would like to mention but 4 records off the top of my head here…3 LP’s + a 7” single:

Had an email from Tesla Groove saying the records are pressed and will be posted from next Monday September 4th.

Last I heard release date had slipped again and supposedly due this week (W/C 28/8/23).

Not ordered those particular Stream Records titles but did pre-order a different 7” on the Cannonball label from the same site which was also due for a July release. I presume they have just been delayed slightly as a shop I do a fair bit of business with has both your 2 plus mine now due in store for August releases.

The single arrived today and just like to add my praise to all those involved, an excellent gesture indeed. All the best to Melvin and hope this venture is a big success.
