I had a package take 3 months to arrive. Well, it was in the UK at customs depo for months before it was finally despatched to me. ... and what's the post office additional charge of £4 added to the customs charge all about? Why does it cost that much for the postman to knock on your door with a package? I once had a package i had to pay £3.50 customs on and that annoying £4 post office charge. The CD was £20, (£2 over the £18 limit that customs let items go thru without charging). So, on a £20 CD it ended up costing £27.50 My best advice to all, to avoid customs charges, is contact the seller and ask them to mark package as either Gift or a value no greater than $30. Customs will not charge on anything under $30. Well, the amount is aprox £18, but i use $30 as a rule of thumb. It's also a good idea to mention your purchase is a birthday gift and you need the item within 6 weeks. If full value is put on customs form, the item can easily be delayed at customs depo for much longer than 6 weeks. Most sellers will listen to your requests. You'll be amazed how many packages sit around gathering dust at customs depos. If the seller won't co-operate, ask the seller to send your package by express letter mail, as, to the best of my knowledge, this is not subject to a Customs CN22 form so you will not be charged. The good news, is since i have spoken to sellers with my requirements, most do as i ask and as such i no longer get those horrible fees added to my precious purchases. I mean, for goodness sake, why should a £20 CD end up costing £27.50 ? It's criminal. If it works for me, i'm sure it will work for you. Remember, just contact seller before you pay. It works! If seller refuses to mark package as gift or a lower value, then i guess it's a gamble you take. But in my experience, customs will charge if they can. So, something to bear in mind or that £200 rare record you just tracked down, might have a nasty sting in the tail if customs whack on an additional £35 plus that damn £4 post offfice charge.

Alan (Rare gems of soul) is a good friend who sends me records to remaster. I guess it's a compliment if he refers to me as uncle Phil. Has he been mentioning i remaster music again? He's gonna turn me into a zombie if he gets more people sending me projects. I'll have to quietly remind him that the more work i have to do, the longer it will take to get his records remastered. That ought to put the fear of God into him. HeHe!

Hi Steve and thanks for the background info to the Kristy release. It's a real shame it didn't get the full exposure it deserved back in the day, but i have an idea, If at first you don't succeed, try again! Only this time make it a purchase all soul lovers will want to own. If you possess the original CD of the album, i believe that maybe Kristy could take a new direction with the release of her album. CdBaby.com is without a shadow of doubt a great means of exposing her album via a CD release. It would be an easier and cheaper method for her to sell her CDs. I would even be interested in having a go at artwork and a CD design. Maybe even produce the CDs initially to launch Kirsty into the soul scene. Big exposure on Ebay would also be good too with audio clips in high quality of the tracks. Soul DJ's all over the UK could play their part by radio and club/bar exposure. I believe the internet is far more accesible than ever and even offering her album for download via itunes, etc is also a good move. No doubt, all who purchased the 7" first time round would love the CD album. The remastering of her master CD or tapes i would gladly do for free. High qualtiy soul music is something i can willingly devote my time to perfecting competely free of charge. The satisfaction from listening to the finished results makes it all worthwhile. Music of this calibre deserves the full respect and exposure it should've had in the first place. Steve, PM me your contact email, etc. I'll send you examples of my remastered work. Let's see if we can give Kristy the maximum respect she deserves. If those two wonderful tracks on her 7" are anything to go by, i'm sure the album is an excellent and essential purchase. Naturally, should any remastering occur, the whole project will be sworn to protection and returned only to yourself. I'll happily sign any legal document etc if i am trusted with attempting to perfect the sound. Should others want the tracks, they'll have to wait to purchase the officially released CD. Let's make this happen Steve. Do what you gotta do with Kristy and let's see if we can bring her amazing music to the masses. If Kristy is reluctant to do anything because of the lack of success first time round, let's at the very least send her the album in excellent quality. That alone, should motivate her to try again. I'm sure she'd love to hear her album in CD quality! Phil.

Okay, thanks for the info guys. Saves me trying to track down another 7", especially as most have prpbably dried up now as it took me a while just to find my copy. Maybe they should get all the original musicians back together and just repeat what they did 20 or so years ago? The 70s was such an amazing time for music. Shame the world's technology was not quite as advanced as the music creation skills of the time. Still, i'd welcome the album release, even if the master copies were less than perfect.

I recently bought the Kristy 7" 'Giving you love' / 'Want to know more' in mint condition. I was horrified to discover the pressing was extremely poor. (Listen to attached mp3 sample) Can anyone help clarify if this 7" was officially released on Love Music 2000 LM45-1 Limited Edition? This is the information on my 7". (Photo attached) The 7" says "Mastered at Kerkedine Music Inc". I would be intrigued to learn how they remastered this track, because if my 7" is official, the sound is heavily compressed and sounds so poor. On the fade out sound diminshes to a very compressed level almost like it was used incorrectly on some cheap computer software and not professional equipment. This is a wonderful modern soul double sider and if anyone can stir me in the direction of those that contain the master tapes to Kristy, i would like to do the job right and remaster the sound correctly. This track should be re-released and sounding so much better than my pressing. Many soul collectors and traders probably own this 7". Can you take a good listen to yours thru your headphones and tell me if the sound is good, with clarity to the strings and vocals please? Maybe i got unlucky with a dodgy 7", but i feel whoever is responsible for releasing this has really done Kristy a huge injustice if all the 7"s were mastered and then pressed to this quality. I also heard or read somewhere a while a go that Kristy recorded an album. If this is true, can someone update me on this please. If you are someone associated with Kerkedine Music Inc and happen to contain the master tapes to her album and a pending release is in the pipeline, please PM me to allow me the opportunity to remaster the sound. This service will be free. This kinda soul music takes me to heaven and back! Thanks. Phil. Kristy___giving_you_love___Want_to_know_more.mp3
