    Postage From Usa

    in Look At Your Box

    Posted

    I've bought a couple of bits from sellers in USA on ebay.

    One posted on 17th May and arrived with me on 23rd May.

    The other, posted on 9th May and arrived today, 25th May.

    The seller of the record I received today charged me $8.76 but then kindly sent it REGISTERED which cost him over $17 (no addl cost to me). I had sent him a message on the 23rd and he replied saying he had sent it registered and that he found registered took longer to arrive.

    Ealier this year I had something take 2 months.

    Hi Pete,

    I didn't miss the Radio Station Bit :thumbsup:

    I heard it in the Big Room around about 79/80. I've never heard it played anywhere since. I played it once when I did a warm-up spot at USoS. As I mentioned, Max said it had a few plays at the Cats.

    What CD was it on? Some Chicago type thingy.

    By the way, an issue is £150 on JM site.

    Hi Pete

    I bought one on the JM Dropdown auction a year or so ago. Wasn't noted as a demo but a nice suprise when it arrived. I called John and they hadn't noticed the Radio Station bit on the label. He said if they had it would defo not been in the Dropdown.

    I watched your copy on eBay out of curiosity to see the finish price.

    Nice to have and doesn't crop up that often on a demo.

    As it's the same colour as the issue and the Radio Station bit is positioned in a less usual place, people just may not notice.

    I bought my first copy from Blue Max in the late 70's. Apparently he had played it at the Cat's but it was forgotten due to the rapid turnover in those days. I remember hearing it played occasionally at Wigan on Saturday Nights

    Cheers

    Just checked and it's £150. There's a note about an auction finish price of £164 in 2008.

    Lou Ragland Acetate?

    in Look At Your Box

    Wouldn't normaly post up about "live" auctions, but thought this was OK as the 45 is listed on ebay in the correct section, by one of the biggest dealers and a $99 start price. Appologies in advance to anyone who thought it was a secret !!

    Thought it might be a useful discussion as a member on here recently bought a Timi Yuro acetate which I think they later regretted having read discussions on SS (no, not me!)

    https://cgi.ebay.com/...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    It's a MEXICAN acetate of Lou Ragland -AMY - on 1 side and Bobby WIlson - VOLT - on the other. This seems an odd combination for an acetate put together in the 1960's.

    Sound quality on the clip shows that it's well worn.

    What do you think? I'd be well impressed if it's puka but have my doubts!

    Any thoughts or info guy's.
