Wanted a clean copy of The Innersection - Let Me Love Yuh Cash waiting for the right price.

Still looking for a copy if anyone has one they would like to part with. Cheers Andy

The 20% is not VAT it is import tax at the VAT rate, so ebay are not collecting VAT and your are not paying VAT, this is what I have been told by customs. We have had this imposed on us in Guernsey for the last 5-6 years with any good going in to the UK. Guernsey post collect the 20% UK import tax at the post office when you go in to post your records and then give it to the UK Government. I dont know if the UK Government give Guernsey post anything for collecting their taxes for them, but it does stop your records being impounded all the time and a fine on top. I am more annoyed about that e-bay have included Guernsey with the UK 20% import tax when we don't have an import tax. I managed to speak to someone at E-Bay and they are rectifying their automated system. The guy I spoke to was very helpful and also explained that it was a new system and that they have a lot of initial problems with it and many many complaints to get through.

Must have missed it, not there now

Anyone have a copy of Zu Zu Blues Band ‎– Zu Zu Man on A&M that I could prize from their hands in exchange for some folding beer tokens. PM me Cheers Andy

Lovely write up Butch Some lovely memories of what can only be described as a tremendous achievement by Ady and Co. See you Saturday, so looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating 40 Years. Andy

A great read from the master, thanks Ady

I spent the day going through a load of NS records that I haven't played for ages and sorted a few out to sell. I love the Milton Wright track and wondered why I haven't played it out. Think I paid about £1.50 for it, last time I checked it was £30, so to see the high price it is now fetching is a turn up for the books. What has made the record so collectable, has a top DJ been pushing it, is the B side getting the spins, or have people just realised that its a great record that need more plays.

I have seen copies of Milton Wrights - "I belong to you" B/W "Like a rolling stone" on Satiron, going for up to £700, I have also seen copies that look identical going for £5.00 I have a copy that I have had for years, 1980 ish, just wondered if anyone can shed any light on how to find out if my copy is original. Thanks in advance Andy

Is this still for sale. Cheers Andy

Is this still for sale?

Good morning soul folk. Any of you lovely people out there got a clean copy of "Billy Kennedy ‎– Sweet Things" for the right price. Thanks in advance Andy

WANTED for a good friend of mine, Milton Bennett / The Hesitations ‎– What's One More Lie / Go Away 100 club 28th anniversary single Kent Records ‎– 6T 23 Many thanks Andy

THe only way around the handling fee is to pay the Import tax that is equivalent to 20% vat upfront when it is posted. But there are no trade agreements in place with hardly any countries to pay this upfront when it is posted. It does seem like a cash cow for the Royal mail.

From the Channel Islands to the UK there is no starting limit for goods sold, 20% to be paid on the full value inc the postage and packing. The only starting limit is for gifts.

I knew I shouldn't have bothered commenting, before some smart arse has to spout off about what they have seen on TV. Very apt for a thread where everyone in the UK is moaning about being caught for evasion of UK import dutys. Not my fault where I live.

It is an EU import tax that is the equivalent to UK VAT at 20%. But it only seems to be the UK that is implementing it. I live in Guernsey (Not in the EU). All record sales that I post from here to the UK are scrutinised by customs and if the import tax has not been paid, it is impounded in the UK. £8.00 handling charge plus 20% on its value AND the postage a packing. There is no minimum value, it's on every item. I can post the same item to France, Germany, in fact the whole world and not have to pay an import tax. We are given the option at Guernsey post to pay the tax upfront to stop UK customs impounding it. Stops you getting the £8.00 fine, but pisses me off that I have to pay 20% VAT on a Guernsey stamp. There must be a process in place that the import tax can be pre paid in the USA, even if you declare that the record is only worth £10.00, will sail through customs with all correct stickers on the package.

We should all make an official complaint to the BBC on the grounds that it was not a true representation of Northern soul dancing and that they have caused irreparable damage to our scene. https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/complaints/forms/?lang=en&reset=&uid=979230797

Think they have misunderstood the rules of Northern soul. You are meant to be spinning off your head, not spinning on it..

Living in Guernsey, we always end with "The Platter" - "Washed ashore (on a lonely Island in the sea)" Very apt for where we live. It's a Guernsey soul collective anthem.
