Most of early places I contacted were oldies type stores, in smaller towns/cities, that had not been visited by UK collectors.A few even had very basic websites with lists up on the net. As you say though many would also just post paper lists or I would send a paper wants list. What the internet allowed me to do was find these places. I actually used John Manships/Tim Browns weekly lists to compose, the wants lists which is ironic. This was in the days before Paypal so paying for them was always a bit tricky unless they took credit cards, but many would not take UK cards. I remember one time when Greg Tormo walked into a place and asked to look at a pile of records behind the counter, only to be told they were reserved for me. His next e-mail to me was a bit prickly !. In particular I was getting lots of newly discovered stuff, especially 70's stuff that was starting to be played out more. Some of the stores/dealers were; Ace Music & Video Village Music (California) Thursdays Dennis Brennan Bob Lord Wegotrecords Plus loads of others. Kegsy

Steve Glover ??? Kegsy

Who would even have a collection that large ? The space to keep 'em would be massive. kegsy

You may have a point.......... i haven't been feeling myself today kegsy

In the very early days of the internet long before many households had it over here I worked in I.T. and would send large wants lists via e-mail to U.S. dealers. I priced every thing between $5-$20 dollars. £50 record=$5 £100=$10 etc Boy did I get some bargains. The price guides then killed it for me. I would also get lists e-mailed to me and would buy loads of stuff blind for $2-5 and got some excellent stuff, price guides stopped this too as all U.S. dealers upped prices automatically if your were buying from the U.K. Kegsy

Thats the one I meant, in fact thats who I said wasnt it. kegsy

I beg to differ. kegsy

yes thats the one. kegsy

Girl in middle, Blue scarf round next, Black semi afro Sue Bushby methinks. Lad right hand end of third row back, Blue jacket, in front of girl with white scarfe Nicky Curry (Cleckheaton) ??? few other familiar faces but names escape. kegsy

Pity that all nights promoted in events cant be MADE to specify OVO or not. Then if someone doesnt get what they want, the can complain in events lookback. It would save the rest of us having to put up with the constant OVO navel gazing. Kegsy

Its beginning to sound like a Nig Flood night

Theres also an events lookback forum. kegsy

I cant believe you have knocked such an old mate back. However I have a cunning plan. I'll do it for free, now that should get your interest kegsy

Kev if you're reading this. Put me down for a couple of hours next year, I have loads of original classics I can play. Oh wait, some are UK issue Stateside,London etc so may not be OVO, oh shit some arnt the rarer styrene west coast label varients, bollocks not too many demos either and we all know demos were always released first and can only be the true original. Second thoughts put me down for about ten minutes. kegsy

CORRECTION original poster didnt actually specify LAST 2 hours. He said 2 and a half hours in the closing session. Perhaps he should say who he is on about. Kegsy

Not saying he did, just saying who was on last, as I said I wasnt there. Kegsy

According to the published schedule the last 2 DJ's on Sunday were Kev & Richard. Wasnt there so dont know for sure they may have changed it. Kegsy

You pays your money and takes your choice, then Kev puts it in his pocket Kegsy

Bump

Second Issue, Boot, repro whatever, the fact remains that its NOT an original. The buyer seems to be suggesting Pete was trying deceive, especially with he vinyl/styrene comments. In the real world its always "buyer beware". Kegsy

Pete Tell Ebay his comments are defamatory as he is accusing you of what amounts to fraud. Kegsy

i dont follow this guys logic at all. Why didnt he start asking questions before the auction ended, or at least before he paid for it and it was shipped ?. Did he bid more for it than the original set sale price on Soul Source ?. Maybe he found a cheaper copy somewhere else. Kegsy

You used to wank a lot more than that according to Twink. kegsy

Cue Ian Dewhirst. kegsy

Thats probably because it was on different label, Cisco. Get a grip Frank. Kegsy
