Bob - you spotted another Bob!! :D Cheers Richard

Thanks guys He's from Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania - have bought from him before maybe once or twice over the years. First messages I got were also pretty bad. Here's one ... I really need you to pay for the record you won. the time limit of 3 days is up. Please don't make me file an Unpaid bidder form on you. PLease pay for your record NOW!!!!!! I wouldn't mind but I'm generally a fast payer and it wasn't even 3 days FFS Cheers Richard

Got this eBay message from a US dealer after leaving him feedback. His communications were pretty abrupt and rude from the beginning and his shipping was USD $24.00 for one 45. I needed the record and decided just to query the shipping charges but still pay them as in other situations I have never got the record (different seller though). This is what he sent me: I ASKED YOU NOT TO RATE ME UNLESS YOU COULD GIVE ME 5 STARS IN ALL CATAGORIES. YOU GAVE ME A LOWER RATING IN THE POSTAGE WHICH I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. NOW I AM CLOSER TO GETTING THROWN OFF OF E-BAY BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID.IF THAT HAPPENS ,I WILL LOSE MY JOB ,AND THIS IS THE ONLY JOB I HAVE -THAN I WILL LASE MY HOUE [LOSE MY HOUSE] BECAUSE OF THE BAD RATING YOU GAVE ME!!!HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU COULD NOT GIVE ME 5 STARS-DO NOT RATE ME???? [HIS NAME DELETED] Cheers Richard

MODS - PLEASE MERGE THE TOPICS THANKS RICHARD

Dunno - Buddy Smith on Brute, Dee Edwards on Tuba - do they count as BBs? Tony MIddleton - Paris Blues (Mala) awesome Little Anthony - It's Not The Same (Veep) Am I barking up the right tree here? Cheers Richard

Is 'Beat Ballad' a Northern scene term, or it is used more widely in other music genres? Cheers Richard

Hi all Interested in REM Records out of Detroit My fave on the label is Sandy & Sty-letts - I've Got Two Loves Interested in any background info please like address, owner, discog etc. Just realised, I'm not even sure if it is REM or R.E.M.

Thank you gents Richard

Just reviving this one as I'm still interested Cheers Richard

Gotta agree with you on that one Pete - excellent observation Cheers Richard

John Manship auctioned one last August which went for £1,414 I missed it - forgot all about it Cheers Richard

Just look on eBay - these turn up regularly - issue or demo Not expensive - probably £15 for a mint demo? Cheers Richard

I was thinking the same thing Mick. Cheers Richard

Slightly bigger font this time! Reissues vs Originals: Unless I know for sure, I will not describe a record as a reissue or original. I will provide a clear closeup photo of the label along with everything written in the vinyl trailoff. Hopefully, if crucial for you, you will be able to make your own determination. Questions are always welcome.

Just found that reference about Golden World ... Keith Rylatt's Groovesville USA says, with reference to Jo Armstead's discovery of Garland "She took him to Ed Wingate's Golden World studios in Detroit where he cut his first record 'Girl I Love You' ..." Cheers Richard
