    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

    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?
  5. 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!!!!!!!!!!!!)

    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!!
  7. 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.

    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

    Or the Toaster !!!!!!!!!!!

    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?
  14. Bo Diddley
    Yes, there's some sort of blip. Is it different to the issued version? If so, perhaps added on purpose?

    Tim Brown has an acetate of this for auction. Just listed. Current bid £200.

    Hi Adey, pm me your email and I'll send an mp3. Sort of reminds me of the jangly (spelling!!) guitar in James Brown - Papas got a brand new bag. Then again, I have no taste or ear for any type of quality music. cheers

    This the one on Popsike? https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=soul+brothers+sho-biz&thumbs=&currsel=&sortord=&x=29&y=8 I have an mp3 of Loverman if needed. Is it getting plays or on the up value wise?? Hope that helps Kev Bod

    Thanks Pete. I noticed that your reply to Shelton was less than subtle!! I can just imagine his big silly grin. Cheers Kev Bod

    Hi Ian, for some reason I can't seem to add a word doc so I've saved and attached a PDF. PM me your email address if you want the word version. Cheers
  21. Bo Diddley
    My copy isn't super clean but try this. could put it on a word doc which makes it easy to print and cut out if needed. Cheers Kev Bod
  22. Bo Diddley
    Cheap original to buy as well... Although this says part 2 it is playing part 1. In part 2 they really let it go!! Cheers kev Bod

    I like a Mince Pie at Christmas, but think I'd prefer a MINX Pie
