Messaged you.

Thanks for that, not seen another. Spanish Harlem side on this copy plays with a slight lag to my ears was wondering if it failed quality. Thanks for response.

Curious regarding value. I'm aware available as a LP track, but is this the only 7" version: Freddie Scott - Open The Door To Your Heart / Spanish Harlem (this slide plays like it's slipping??) Argentina Microfon 33rpm 7".

What price for an Ex Herbie Hunter?

Only just seen this and really am gutted. been trying to snag her gone with the wind since I saw it on a JM auction a couple of years ago and played the clip, just love her piercing soulful voice. Don't know how I'd feel now paying the prices we pay knowing the circumstances she tragically finished up in. Impossible to deliver but feel like starting a bid for a door tax / vinyl tax to contribute to the lives of artists who have entertained our record collections and events who find themselves on the fringes later in life. Absolutely gutted.

Thanks for that info Ricky.

Wondering current Value, any info welcome, thanks. The Meditations single sided Checker DJ Ex. It's Wrong To Fight.

Sorry, just seen question. By "authenticity" I was meaning more than just a comment, but a commitment. Taking Washpan as an example, I would prefer to know the DJ played an original Tomangoes rather than a look-a-like boot. But not just an OVO argument, I like to know if a record is played from British / USA for example, it tells me something about the DJ preference or interest, that I find I find interesting. But I guess really that I equate a commitment not to play boots (short cut terminology for all such) with a DJ I have respect for.

Devil in the detail, I want to know what the authenticity of the label. I know others disagree but it's important for me.

I'm going to offer some pseudo sociological mumbo-jumbo? (Sorry Frankie) "Mass subcultures are no longer the formative part of young people’s identities that they often have been in the Britain of decades gone by. Think this needs a social history perspective. Connectivity through various forms of instantly available social media could be argued to encourage "mass" but diminish "sub" culture. I know it's a bit of an easy hit to focus on Wigan Casino but it offers an easily imagined bench mark. Imagine Wigan if we all has iphones and FaceBook , imagine covering a record with mass access to the internet. By the late 70s early 80s the regular Saturday nights were often quite poorly attended, with Friday oldies and oldies revival nights being much more popular. A few videos on Facebook and I suspect participation would have fluctuated wildly as a flavour of the month venue. I'm thinking of subculture differently to thinking about an underground scene. By the time Wigan was mid-life, there was already Wigans Chosen few and Wigans Ovation on Top of the Pops, hardly underground. But I do think I identified with a sub-culture (although not exclusive from other sub-cultures). Think of the mid 70s 'soulboy / girl' uniform, the badges on our bags to identify participation. The vast majority at Wigan were a similar age group, mostly traditional working class (when working class was a cultural term). I like to think there was something about stepping outside the cultural norm of whatever culture you came from, into a sub-culture, to get into 'nighters'. At the time we were catching the X67 LincMan bus to Manchester, joining it at Mansfield (then a mining town), when parents' generation night out was the village miners welfare. Going to Nottingham from Mansfield was thought to be adventurous (and you couldn't say you were from Mansfield), going to Wigan to dance all night at a venue that didn't serve beer took some explaining! I think within working class cultures of the 70s, as a youth you picked your subculture as your own right of passage, making a statement not only about preferences regarding things like sport and music but also about belonging and wanting to be seen differently to the alternative mass cultural norm. I think that when I 'picked' northern soul, I didn't think I was picking a sub-culture, I was picking a music style, and ok perhaps some admiration for the big lads at the youth club as pioneers. I think I grew into belonging to a sub-culture through self-identification and identifying others within that group to belong with. What amuses me is that the identifiers of that sub-culture, badges, bags, now belong to a mocked up retro-version that is mainstream in identity. What groups "litter Britain’s social landscape" now? Think the point is well made about skateboards, scooters etc is well made. But I also think group identity has now drifted more towards religious and political identification including gender-politic. It was much easier for us.

Contacted via Facebook, wouldn't respond to eBay messages. Happy to acknowledge my fault for mistakenly posting before payment confirmed, happy to state my opinion that Jean Mehdi Guenerie is an opportunistic thief. Couldn't pay because he didn't have any access to internet, which he told me by Facebook messenger. still don't understand multiple name thing!

Apologies- Anglesey address is a genuine address, there was an autocorrect on the search I didn't realise.? Don't know how it ties in with France though?

It is odd, saw positive feedback. But why 2 different addresses? With one non-existent address? No response to messages. Hacked account or split personality?

One here Pete, unless it's the same, https://www.45cat.com/record/br702 You have more experience and history than me but don't ever recall seeing this.

This alias appears to be entirely false, checked google maps no address <edited by site> BEWARE OF SELLING TO <edited by site> appears to be using false alias with multiple addresses

Had a recent oddity with an ebay sale, thankfully not a big item. Sold Africano - Satisfactorise https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122546402035?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649 (£38). It was one of 7 items I sold that finished on that day. Due to work, couldn't post the day after the auction finished, so went to post everything 36 hours after auction. We're all fallible, and the first part of this could be my mistake. I thought I'd seen all 7 were paid for, so happily only one trip to PO. I've had some issue following links on EBay to 'Print Postage', with it just coming up with a link ad to the PO Click and drop service. Following the link to View order Details - Delivery Address I get Send to:guênerie Jean - Mehdi, 7 avenue de thies ( apt 81 ), caen Basse-Normandie 14000, France. Posted accordingly. Couple of days later I notice this isn't paid. Obviously could be my mistake, just questioning if there's a way to cancel or withdraw payment. I was sure (as much as I can be) all 7 were paid? Start to contact Buyer (who has 100% positive feedback) crilin35 Notice that when I Send Invoice link on EBay the buyers address is different: Obviously I've tried the phone number but 06 isn't a UK code (HolyHead 01407) number isn't a registered mobile number. Coincidence that I thought appeared as paid before I'd sent an invoice? Coincidence that the one I thought appeared as paid that then wasn't has 2 postal addresses with a wrong phone number? Coincidence not been paid? Warning to other sellers, somethings wrong here?

I must play these through and look at getting them converted if quality is any good. I've got a tape of Jr Walker at Wigan, I'll check to see if it has a date on it. If you remember a skinny, scruffy, lanky kid run across the stage at Wigan to get a record sleeve signed that would be me. I've still got the sleeve with a SOUL promo of Roadrunner tucked in it. Can remember Jr looking at the disc and saying "Where the f*** did you get this boy?"

Bloody spell check - Leslie Uganda?? Good cover up name though.

Kev Holmes post on FB got me looking for a tape (it's a music thingy!) came across these , 40 years to the day!! As I recall: Bus from Rainworth to Nottingham (B8) ; Nottingham to Perterborough (Barton's); Peterborough to Huntingdon; Huntingdon to St Ives Cambridgeshire. Danced the night away with Jr Walker and All Stars live on stage about 3am, out into daylight at 8am, no buses back on Sunday. Just a thumb for transport. Kids I travelled with paid the price for misspent youth and several shuffled off. To add to the importance , I think it was on the bus from Peterborough to Huntingdon that we heard of Nottingham Forest promotion to league 1 after finishing 3rd in second division where we'd been since '72. What a time to be young not played the tape, track listing on card insert has: Herbert Hunter - Born to love you Willie Hutch - Love runs out Milton Wright - I belong to you Marvin Gaye - Little Darling Susan Coleman - Age of the Wolf Yums Yums - Big thing Eddie Holman - Night to remember Leslie Uganda - Don't You Even Care Johnny Caswell - You don't love me anymore Yvonne Vernee - Just like you did me Lenny Curtis - Nothing can help you now.

Regarding Pete Smith's post above, I've seen 2 on eBay recently where somebody was selling as a carver with photo'd labels stuck on. Hate this practice.

messaged you Grant

There are several Buy It now Stateside issues on ebay currently £75. IMO this is a premium price and patience should get you one for £30-£50 depending on condition. Obviously the promo copy is more. Not a rare item but as the bandwagon rolls on people are expecting bigger prices across the board.

Sure I've got a gospel classics I can part with . Not got access tonight, see if I can post a pic. Recall as VG++ or Ex- with company sleeve. Feel free to pm an offer.
