Yes it is! They've obviously given up trying to sell it for 80...been there ages.

There's A British Tamla Motown copy of Bobby Taylor in our local Oxfam., I'm sure it was £80 and think it's still there? If you want it I can find out and perhaps offer them less?

Wow! Enough for a couple of albums. Be great to see some of these on vinyl. Kent, Grapevine....come on!

An all round great 45 to have, no excuses, every box should have a copy and it's cheap as chips.

Independence is the second issue? I have it on MMC would this be local release or the other way around?

Naa, about 7 year back.

Got my first copy for 10p off a car boot. Traded it on for £60 worth of tunes with my mate Perry. Missed having it around so got another off ebay for £50, class act. I see 'Danger Zone' is a Wilson Pickett tune, was it ever released by him?

Yeah me too, a slower paced take. There's also a version by Sly & The Family Stone.

Is this the one currently being played on a TV advert?

Great! Did it come out on 'Marmalade' in the UK?

I now have a black labelled boot (?). I remember selling the yellow one and getting the black one 'cos I thought it looked more authentic!

I had a yellow boot too, it never had that written on the label.....unless I had a real one....gulp.

If you're not sorted by Lars, I have one.

'Skating Across 110th Street'....

Well, it seems this is not entirely the case, mine has been updated to..... 'Sat 8th October 6.05 am - Missort Heathrow'. I have spoken to someone from RM and apparently it got put into the wrong bag and instead of going to North London where it should have it's ended up in Heathrow! She say's it should be with the rightful recipient either today or tomorrow. Phew...

Here is the record I sold. I know what you all will be thinking...., "idiot"!!! Special Delivery!!!! To be honest I was taken aback at how much it went for, I was only expecting about £100 at most and I have (had ) faith in the 'Recorded' system as I have been posting for 20 odd years myself and nothing like this has ever happened. I think I just didn't really sit down and think about it and I suppose if the girl at the Post Office had mentioned the usual... "is it worth more than £50?" it would have sparked my pea like brain into work mode and I'd have sent Special. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201201578400?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649

I think you are spot on Paul.

Drew: Your question about a postman ( should be postperson by the way ) delivering a recorded item without getting it signed, should never happen and it makes me angry that it would, but there are a lot of reasons why it might happen. Reasons: £20 bung? Laziness? Computer/scanner down?

Exactly. However, if the postperson just stuck it through his letterbox without any sort of scanning or signature then it's never going to come up as delivered.

Thanks for that Drew. The record was posted last Friday (31st October). £28 in stamps!!!? They told me it's insured up to £50?

I'm not sure how ebay will go once he starts his 'claim'. There is a bit of confusion in their rules regarding providing a tracking number. It say's: 'If an item is provided with a tracking number and it has shown as delivered then ebay will side with the seller, if the item is more than £750 then a signature is required'. Confusing because then if it's shown as 'delivered' then it would have a signature wouldn't it? Or do they mean delivered to a post office? 1. I have a tracking number 2. it is less than £750 Does this mean I will win if a case is made?

But if it's scanned shouldn't it be showing on the tracking system?

....gutted.

...put a recorded/signed for package through your door without it being signed for? The reason I ask is because I posted an expensive record using the 'recorded delivery' system and the buyer is claiming he hasn't received it!! The tracking number is just saying it is 'in process'. ...and yes, I have been naive and should have posted 'Special Delivery'

Ah yes, I never even noticed the 'Soul Galore' reference...doh! It's not been coloured in though, well it doesn't look like it in the flesh, be very surprised if it has and they've done a good job!
