How about nice and easy does it? I just asked him a question about the Joy Division item:

Hi,

Can you hear the faint whistle of a skeedle from the studio tape on the last few seconds of the run out groove on this pressing?

Crikey - I just invented the word "Skeedle"

Let's see if he bites - I'll keep you posted

Cheers Baz I put it down to the red wine. You'd have loved it round our campfire at Glasto last week when, at 4am, we realised we need to hear some Mexican Ska and promptly Christened it " Skariachi" (n Music containing elements of Jamaican Ska and Mexican Mariachi)

..or maybe you had to be there...

Hmmmmmmmm the plot thickens...

sent the bloke a email last night about the Chico Lamarr saying, is there a SPS stamp in the run out groove as I am willing to bid up to £35000

the reply came back.......

hi, i don't see that sps.

The matrix code on the dead wax is

C+F-1004-A

C+F-1004-B

All my 45's are 100% original unless stated!

I have a 20 years collecting soul 45s

This is a wonderful copy in mint- conditions. If you are really willing to offer £3,500 I can close the auction early and sell to you. Just let me know.

Thanks

Gerard

I think it's just a case of someone asking him why all the scans are from different sources.

I used to buy from this seller. He listed rare 60's/70's records on Record Collector a few years ago. I always received what I paid for and his grading is quite fair.

Just a suggestion, when you pay for rare records use Paypal. I had to file 2 claims during the last year and I got my money back.

Been looking at the scans, have a look at the blenders then point your browser here

look at the bb hole.

This may be the same copy up for sale now.

I inquired the seller about a few records and he told me I could get additional photos of the actual records.

This is a scan of the previous copy of the Blenders to go through e-bay. L:ook at the gap down the right and at the bottom and the top is just missing. Same scan IMHO

I was intererested in that single too. The seller sent me another picture and told me he's auctioning the same copy sold on ebay a few months ago, purchased from the winner. The picture I have on my desktop looks authentic. I can forward this to anyone who might be interested.

Discussing this on the RSF. He spent a large amount on 3 records all from unregistered users...2 from Italy. Apparently the person pushing up the price on the Velours is from Italy, joining only 6 days ago.

Don't think I'll be spending any money with him

I can see where he's coming from though, why defend someone who appears to be nothing more than a con man? You are the only one who thinks he's cosher! Everything about him is not right, even down to his taste in screensavers and cook books

Deffo same scan - if you enlarge Chalkys scan and look at the larger scan on the ebay description you'll notice the following similarities.

The BB hole at far left (9 o'clock) on label and MR? stamp in deadwax at 4 o'clock.

Chances of those being in the exact same positions on 2 different pieces of vinyl are absolutely zilch.

Ask for scans of flipside labels if unsure, and check if BB hole is at edge of label on flipside scan.

Gogs don't be jealous there's a few tracks I want there's no way I'm parting with a few hundred till I got the record in my hand. Billy

There's a way to be sure about a transaction even when you deal with a suspicious seller. If paypal is not enough, ask for escrow

Hello Stoll, as a matter of interest, what rare records did you buy from this seller?

Asking for flipside labels is not enough sometimes! I won a record off ebay from what turned out to be the infamous belgian swine Joseph Salamone, he sent scans of the flip and the correct matrix details, but it was still a 100% rip off attempt! I did not fall for it though and as a result the swine gave me my first and so far only negative feedback on ebay. He has been a member of this forum under many different names, so watch out! I suggested he send me the record first and then I send him the money, he did not like that suggestion at all. I wish someone would send him a lump of plastic explosive wrapped in nails and wire, and just blow him to shreds.

why Christian you angry angry man

mind you a plastic bombs is a very good idea. don't fancy cleaning bits of Salamone off my windows though

Buyer pays $6 to Asutralia, $10 anywhere else. Insurance is extra.

I ship once a week.

I will be away from 3/July to 7/July, I will not be able to ship or respond to emails while I'm away. This means I will answer and ship when I'm back. For any successfull transaction I always try to post a positive feedback asap, usually within 7 days.

this knackered me so i will try anyway

It was the Joy Division EP Chrisieo.

And the plot thickens. He either is legit or he's done his homework with this item - he certainly didn't go along with the 'mistake' about the recording studio. Here's how it went (I'm in blue)

Can you hear the faint whistle of a skeedle from the studio tape on the last few seconds of the run out groove on this pressing?

This is quite interesting. I never heard of this. Please tell me more and I will let you know. Is this faint whistle on both sides? However there's no doubt this is the first pressing as it comes from 1979 for sure!

Gerard

Hi Gerard,

As far as I understand it's only on one (2nd?) side and it's caused by the tape reaching the coloured, none-recordable bit on the end. (Strawberry Studio in Stockport called them Skeedles). I believe that this was edited out on the later presses.

Cheers,

Cool story. Where have you heard it? Any source?

I will give it a spin and I'll get back to you right after.

Best

Gerard

I waited... and then:

Hi

I spun the EP over and over again but I could not hear any "tape skeedles". I'm afraid this is on the later reprints not on the original EP.

This EP was not recorded by Strawberry Studio in Stockport but by Pennin Sound Studio in Oldham

Regards

Gerard

Thoughts, anyone?
