Not commenting on JM grading and this dispute either..

But can we please agree to not disclose personal data without affected people's permission on here? In my view, this is absolutely inappropriate.. could be just me but I think this is a basic rule of respectful togetherness on a board like this (and in general). Thanks!

But to anonymously smear a business is OK?  Works both ways I think.

Anyone who seriously collects vinyl should understand how John's auctions work and they have worked like this for some time - if you don't like it, you don't bid ... simples. 

Don't have one up my sleeve , but did go to the 3rd Anniversary and got the patch - always love a patch  

And I think its a great tune - wish I had a winning lottery ticket 

🤣
Me too, I'll show you my Sandpipers when we're allowed out again.

Just thought you'd wade in with that one did you ?

And surely "birth sleeve" ?

It's a winner from the nascence of its first umbilical chord 😄

Which neatly takes us back to my earlier post - if you want to avoid low-flying snipes, come and visit the JM auction 🐦  Night all xx

I did and if it wasn't for such gullible buyers my ternover would be a lot less.

I'm looking for a Mighty Plovers if you've got one up your sleeve?

Meh !

I've been running a site for the sale of extinct seabirds for 40 years and let me tell you madam it's a great auktion !

Funny you should say that Rod my sweet, but I've been sneakily running a tricksy sale of primary foot soldiers of the Dark Lords' armies on the side for the last few years.  It's become a fantastic orction 😉

It's an original Dave, will message you now 😊

Theresa Manship

He's answered the phone when I've rung before. Caustic? Part of the scene isn't it? Ring up, with a bit of luck you'll get Theresa.

😂 You definitely won't get me, as I don't work for John, but there are 8 lovely ladies and gents manning the phones, who can answer queries and check stock for you in real time, and of course John himself will often answer, especially on auction days.

I've messaged Simon (Zanetti) about his query, so hopefully all sorted 😊 

Best ways to get in touch - call +44 (0)1664 464991, or email sales@raresoulman.co.uk.

Thank you! ❤️

Hi Theresa. Thx for letting me know. Yes, thats what i die, but didn't Work. In Addition to that i filled Out the Form with my Email. Unfortunately it didn' t Work Out either. 3 weeks ago! 🤔

Sorry to hear that - maybe it's going into junk mail for some reason.  John checked and the office seems to be getting other emails and website queries normally.  If you still need the question answered, John will be happy to call you.  Drop me a message on here with your number 😊

John's staff deal with all the inbound emails.  If you send your message to sales@raresoulman.co.uk, it will be answered promptly 😊

Look, I live in the Midlands now, how can I be expected to count properly when everyone here has a different number of fingers? ;)

Sorry, I did mean the explanation appeared on a thread 8 years ago! Lol.  Typed in a blonde fashion ;)

June 2008 simple explanation from Manship to Jerry Hipkiss

# 13 Manship explaining the Rouser press was taken off a rejected Fairmount masterplate fully 8 years ago

And poor old Donald died never having the slightest idea that he was a northern soul icon of the highest order    All hail to Bob A for finding his brother a few years back and cataloguing a little of their history.

The band were not based in Chicago, they were from St Louis, and had been performing together on and off for years, in St Louis.  The band travelled to Chicago with E. Rodney Jones to record SBMB, the amazing Donald Lloyd sang the lead vocal, and they came home again.

(Just for Rod's benefit  )

"It is a truth universally acknowledged" ha ha, that yes, first press was in St Louis on the thicker vinyl, then plates taken to Chicago with Jo Armstead and two minute little dimples knocked into them, presumably in transit, causing the tiniest pimples on the second press on thinner vinyl.  These pimples since being used as authentication marks on that press, which of course was the only one known until relatively recently.  When both records are held side by side, it's clear that master plates are identical, but weight of vinyl and depth of colour of labels/text is significantly different, hence the necessity for the unromantic but enormously anorakically satisfying micrometer

Crikey,women using micrometers.!! What ever next.? Get you Mrs 1.18mm.

It's not the first tool I've had in my hand Mr Holmes, and I'll wager it won't be the last

If a write-up seems curiously precise, with in-depth research, a dearth of extraneous apostrophes, and contains no obvious spelling mistakes or grammatical faux pas... it JUST might be one of mine

Nice

 

That is a great write up.

 

Mr Manship does it again 

 

Cheers

 

Richard

Ahem, WHO did the write-up?

Hope you kept your pennies in readiness Mr Dog

I'm in Pork Pie land tomorrow Tee - on record-related matters - I could try and 'winkle it out' too - we could have a pincer movement 

 

Richard

Hmm, he's a tough man to outflank, hee hee.

I already know what it is Rich, I'm just toying with you   

Mind you, I might don a Guinevere costume and go seeking Excalibur anyway, you know how I love an outfit.

Shall I just go and winkle it out of him?
