    Looking for a nice copy of Eddie Parker - Love You Baby - Ashford DEMO. Not looking for an ISSUE thanks. Please pm with details of condition AND THE PRICE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR including postage to UK. I'll either say yes please or no thanks - simple!! If you have a scan of labels, that would be good. Thanks

    Also has a good 70's version of "Open The Door To Your Heart" on the other side. Worth having for that! Kev Bod

    Just checked a few old mailers in the garage. When they have a value, I seem to have had mainly $5 gifts!!! Hadn't noticed before. I'd assumed that no value was declared when a gift. Cheers Jon. KB (p.s. - you a cyclist?)

    Thanks for that George, Were there any other records on the Goldspot label? Also, always sruck me as an odd design. It's my understanding that on some American 45s, a "blob" of gold paint was used to indicate a "deleted/returned" record, a bit like the drilled hole. Loads of copies of The Steinways 45 on Oliver have this. So havng a label that looked like it was deleted from day one was crazy!! Of course, I may be talking complete rubbish as usual. Cheers

    Very interesting this. One of my favorite records. I have a Goldspot one. To me the Goldspot version sound a little less "slick". The GAR one being more polished. In a similar way to the Natual Four - "I though you were mine" - Boola Boola and ABC versions. Personaly, I'd have thought the more polished version came second. I like both and would buy Pete's if I hadn't spent enough this month!! (and last month, and the month before, and.........) Here's a link I came across that lists Ohio Soul.

    Paul Henry, wasn't he the bloke that played Benny in Crossroads!!

    I bought it in the late 70's from Max Millward. The record is vinyl with a thicker, 1 cm bit round the outer edge - a bit like those Marvin Holmes "better keep her" vinyl issue on Brown Door. I called JM about this a few years ago and he said the they were boots. I quite like it as it has that bit of counting in at the start!! Cheers. Kev Bod

    Sue Lynne - Don't Pity Me. Family Affair - Love muscle hussle What about Julian Covey - A little bit hurt, and Wynder K Frog - Green Door, were they UK recorded?

    I also have a white demo that doesn't play either. The slower side is a bit dull but the other side is OK. I do have a demo that has the correct tunes. The matrix on the "proper one" has the smaller font numbers. The mis-press has the larger font number (1005). Obviously quality control had the day off. Curious as to what the mis-press tunes are if anybody knows. Cheers Kev Bod (P.S. I kept the mis-press as it only cost about $3. Would have cost more to return)

    No Mick, it's a magazine. Records are the round plastic-y things. That was an oblong paper-y thing (posted at same time as Bearey - great minds....)

    Hi John, Bit confused on this one. If the package was marked as "Gift" then what value was used to establish a charge?? When I've received records marked as "gift" there is non value declared Cheers Kev Bod
  15. Bo Diddley
    As I mentioned above, I had to pay a (small) charge for a record which I then returned as it wasn't as described. I didn't look into the possibility of reclaiming the charge but.....I wonder if your could reclaim with an expensive item and the charge is THAT big? Also, if you could, what proof would be needed?
  16. Bo Diddley
    Yes Tim. I think it's VAT. So in theory, using an exchange rate of say £1:$1.55, $600 is £387, therefore the charge would be £65.40. Total £452.40 (I'd want a bloomin' good coat for that!!!!!!!!!!!!)
  17. Bo Diddley
    I don't think they are "obliged" but as Mr SpaceHopper says, more are doing so to protect themselves in the event of a claim. I had this happen once on a £50 record - total charges £18 ....then had to RETURN IT as it was not as described!!
  18. Bo Diddley
    The seller has declared a value on the package of approximately £251. Therefore a charge of 20% on this value is made PLUS the £8 fixed charge. Not nice, hope you got a bargain

    I also believe that Pete knows everything.
  20. Bo Diddley
    Strange, but I couldn't see one on popsike (which surprised me and made me think I'm rubbish at searching). However, JM has it listed on his site. £50 for the issue, £40 for the demo, £15 for the CSP. That will give Voodoo an idea of what the re-issue looks like. (p.s. I wouldn't expect to sell you records at the same price as JM. No offence to JM or Voodoo ) https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/search/Artist/MAHAL%252C%2BTAJ/all/1 Cheers Kev Bod

    I just happened to come across this youtube item by Gene McDaniels. It's him talking about Compared to What, and a few thoughts from his early days. He also added some other items on his channel. It's quite nice to see him sing 100lb's of Clay to the group of young girls in another clip. Not sure if anyone else interested but I sort of liked the idea that he seemed quite happy with his life in the clip. I was just generally impressed by him!! Always liked Compared to What and in particular, Walk With A Winner. Cheers Kev Bod https://youtu.be/GC6LdIcmDQs

    That made me sit up and take notice!! Doesn't sound the same to me but, as Mrs Bod keeps telling me, I am a deaf *$%%!. Out of interest, when did sampling start? I thought it may have started in the 70's. Cheers Kev Bod
  23. Bo Diddley
    Or the Toaster !!!!!!!!!!!
  24. Bo Diddley
    Ahh..Is the one you describe in the "want" the first press? Doesn't seem to be loads about. I thought it was a big hit. Did it get popular on a "soon after" re-release/second issue? Also, which demo's are the first versions?
  25. Bo Diddley
    Yes, there's some sort of blip. Is it different to the issued version? If so, perhaps added on purpose?
