  1. Skimming physically removes some of the vinyl from the top of the groove ridges. So it does destroy the sound quality even though the record looks Near mint. Just a con and a deffo no no.
  2. According to this link it's an Americanism that means "in poor condition; worn or damaged because of continuous use" https://www.englishclub.com/ref/Slang/American/index.htm
  3. The Sherry's in the main hall not M's.
  4. Willie, Sandra and now Teddy. Not a good start to the New Year. RIP.
  5. Agree with you Chalky. As far as I know Unsatisfied and Magic Potion were never released together.
  6. Its deffo a boot.
  7. Best keep your glamour poses to myself then..................
  8. Well he is called da wish list
  9. Full link below which makes interesting reading. Just copied this bit on how records were selected for broadcast in Vietnam. https://topicsinamericanhist.tripod.com/id19.html How music was selected for AFVN. If music was not selected for AFVN on the basis of genre, then how was it selected? An AFVN disc jockey named Adrian Cronauer (who happens to be the man that the main character of Good Morning Vietnam was based on) recounts the procedure that companies had to go through, and still go through on Armed Forces Radio today, to get their songs played on AFVN. If a company wants their record played on AFRS22, they sign the appropriate paperwork and give a master tape to AFRS in Los Angeles where it is recut on the AFRS label... These are the only records allowed on the premises and, therefore, the only ones you could use on the air."
  10. Its shite Ken. And I think you should send it to me so I can safely dispose of it.
  11. And here it is..............
  12. Think I've still got that pic - chubby cheeks
  13. PayPal winging it's way through cyberspace as I write. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Best wishes to all.
  14. No the seller decides the price. You can negotiate all you want but if the seller doesn't want to sell then thats that. He has the goods you want to purchase and he decides what he will sell them at. You as a buyer decide what you will buy them at. If you agree then the deal is done. If you disagree the seller still has the goods and still decides what he will ultimately let them go for. The seller is in control, whether he decides to reduce his price, relist on Ebay or whatever. As long as he retains the product he will decide what he will eventually sell something for. Hmmmmm i would have thought the buyer decides the price !!, if the seller prices too high then the buyer won't buy....... simples !! if the seller then reduces the price to sell it then the buyer will still decide if it's too high (by not buying) or buying............simples !! The buyer will look around for a cheaper option 9.9 times out of 10 i would imagine, how many dealers can afford to leave unsold overpriced stock on a shelf ?? Even Mr Lidl of NS Pete Smith is forced to reduce stuff to shift it again by the buyer holding back ! Ebay is another ball game and we have all seen a vast difference in sales of cheap and rare records so i don't think it's fair to include ebay but if you did then again it would be the buyer who decides how much they will pay for an item !! many sellers on ebay who use high start prices or high BIN prices just get left with fee's !! and when they relist at lower prices to sell then who has forced them to do it ?? the buyer of course by keeping his wallet in his pocket !! Or is it me being a tightwad in my old age !!! Ian.
  15. The seller is the only person who can dictate the price they want for a record. If they sell it is another matter. Same record, same condition but 2 different sellers. One prices at a premium because they are not really fussed if it sells or not. If they get lucky and sell it they make a few quid and possibly buy it back at a lower price else where. The other seller is £50 lower than the 'premium' seller. They don't like the record, needs cash to fund a want or what ever. Which would you buy? A no brainer - its the seller who decides prices. Whether the price is justified, ethical or realistic is another debate.
  16. I don't think it ever had a London release, issue or demo. But happy to be proved wrong. I know it was released on UK Sue 312. Cheers Tabs
  17. Not my record for sale but the accurate description made me smile. Just listen to the sample. https://cgi.ebay.com/NORTHERN-SOUL-CLASSIC-45-RUBY-ANDREWS-JUST-LOVING-YOU_W0QQitemZ300379815872QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item45f0083fc0
  18. Easy mistake to make Cat.
  19. Hope that was Ian posting and not Debbie
  20. Your hearing is playing up again, it was Big Tit. If I don't see you before then seasons compliments to you and Marie. Best Tabs
  21. Slightly off topic but still makes me laugh. Randy's red herring in his top 100 Mod sounds. Rancid Polecat - Ian And The Clarks (Liberty)
  22. Deffo first spun by RW at The Casino. Supplied by his Uncle Simon allegedly. [ quote name='Russ Vickers' date='13 December 2009 - 08:27 PM' timestamp='1260736042' post='1215182'] Didnt Yvonne Baker come from the Mecca anyway ??? Russ
  23. Thats why its cheaper to collect and then get a receipt for any old record for a couple of dollars. I'm flying out tomorrow.
  24. Yes- section 2.2 on the limk. And it's being applied more and more. https://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageTravel_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000014&propertyType=document#P36_3279
  25. Few more than that, at least into 4 figures. Myself and Eddie went round to his house after a niter. He went to sleep and we were like kids in a sweet shop.
