Thanks for your views guys, the dealer agreed to my 40% refund and paid it straight back. He informed me of my refund in capital letters, i can only assume he was SHOUTING! Mildly happier with the outcome though Does anybody else sometimes feel you are being awkward when accosting a downgraded record? I feel that I undergrade records for selling to save any bitching about scuff marks etc I bought a shiny "mint" not long ago only to find it still moist from the shoe shine that it had been wiped with. When i wiped it dry, the scuffs were apparent H

The warp is a storage warp. The dealer has replied to me after i stated "a Paypal Claim" and that it was ridiculous not to give a partial refund for an overgraded record, where i showed the damage in pics. He is now making an exception as he has read my excellent feedback, and has asked me what i think would be a reasonable refund. I would have thought that him being the dealer, he should call first. H

A record advertised as Mint came through the post the other day from the USA, a gift for the Mrs. I paid £80 for it and knew that it was £20-40 cheaper than UK dealers, bargain I thought. It was packaged well and arrived in great time. I opened it and found that the 45 was indeed in great condition until i checked its level...... A sizeable warp, clearly visible before playing. I am sure I can reduce the warp but contacted the dealer before i did anything. I took a few pictures of the record and emailed dealer explaining it may have been an oversight but it was advertised as mint, I was thinking at least a partial refund or something since I would have been left without the other halfs want. Now, the dealer has been fair enough to suggest I send it back to get a full refund, marking it "refused, return to sender" (this alone gives me no trace that the record goes back to where it came, no documentation). I wont do this as I would rather register that the record HAS been posted back to him. He refused me a partial refund because it is not his policy, he suggests that past customers have claimed in order to get better deals. My dilemma is this.......Do I send the record back and chance getting full refund or let the Mrs get her record on christmas day and fix it myself. I don't wish to come on here and damage anybodys reputation, just want to know what some of you would do. The dealer has a lot of great feedback with a handful of negative regarding his grading. As you can see from the pics....it's not that bad a warp but it certainly wasn't mentioned in the description which would have swayed my bid.

Roosevelt (Rosey) Grier.....New York Giants!forget that.....i am too slow on phone with these sausage fingers lol

Lee Dorsey....boxer also, although his and Jackies nose give the game away

Kenny Burrell had an alternative take on acetate around the time he had the orig. Not sure if thats the version your talking about.

I watched it again in case I was wrong............I wasn't, imo its a bad movie on the whole. Acting is terrible but as I ain't a film-maker, I can only sit back and criticise that it didn't do anything for me. I am sure it did something for somebody and we should at least be glad that small time film companies are still churning out movies, despite big blockbusters being remade time and time again. The only reason I watched it in the first instance was the northern connection. If you want a coming of age/love drama, there are better films out there that are more enjoyable. If I am honest, there was probably more thought went into the northern bit in Blue Juice. But that wasn't a film just about northern either. H

Dom had a go at some dick at one of the Girvan Mod Rallies. The guy was giving it the biggun.....I used to be a Mod but I grew up, I could take all you Pea Pods on etc etc. Dom just turned round to the guy in front of around 40-50 Mods and said... " if youahhh not a mod naoww, then you nevahh wos a mod" the guy wanted to argue but with Doms screwed up face in his direction and Doms cocksure attitude, the guy trotted on, probably to bed lol Great memories!

Defo the first one. Rouser copy is pale in comparison

I Still haunted with great delight at Doms cock-a-knee intros to records. EEE wee goww, Maxamilliiawwwn, Sixty noine, lol Top Lad!

Am surprised that a few people ain't heard this, probably "made it to the door" before the end of the night

How many times has there been promoters in agreement about dates and one of them goes back on their word to hold a so-called "one-off"? Which then becomes a regular occurence I also have seen promoters back away from dates to leave space in between months and Jack the Lad plonks a date right in the middle. You can't prevent the ones waiting on an opening I'm afraid H
