Record Store Day: New Kent Limited Edition Vinyl Ep

Rokk 'patience'
What time exactly did this get listed by Pat Brady on April the 1st? Not sure this particular want should be filed under 'cheeky' or 'making yourself look like a bit of a plum'.

Another E-Bay Rant
True, I can see the concern about someone bidding something up to inflate the price, but it's not always the case that shill bidding is going on (even if it is in your case). Jesse Gomez seems to have come out of the woodwork in the past year or so whereas before it was a tricky one to find, so maybe your guy got a batch of them and wants to move them on. On occasion when I've had a couple of copies of something I'll offer a 2nd copy to the 2nd highest bidder because it's a quick way to sell another record - usually the price they want to pay is close to the top bid so it's worthwhile. Even if it means 5 mins after the auction closes. I explain that I've got a 2nd copy and it's here if they want it.

Another E-Bay Rant
Understand the gist of the argument but equally if you're bidding on something, then you want it, right? So if you're offered a copy, having not won the auction copy, for your maximum bid (which'll be less than the winning bidder) surely you're happy(?) I think the offical 2nd chance thing means that you can only be offered a copy at your top bid. I know the psychology of 2nd chance offers always raises the 'how may has this guy got?' question as well as (sometimes) the 'I only want it if I'm the winner...if I'm second and another one comes up I'm not interested any more' kind of feeling. Sure, some sellers are probably using ebay to gauge a top end price on that auction and then hope to farm off a stack to other bidders. But if you wanted something 30 seconds ago and then don't want it having not won it, sometimes that's a bit odd.

James D Hall - I Wanna Get Into You - JDH
Don't know about that...it was pretty obvious to me - first time I looked at it I wondered why it was kind of fuzzy. Maybe depends on your eyesight.

James D Hall - I Wanna Get Into You - JDH
I did ask him (J D Hall) if they were originals (the ones that clearly aren't first presses) and he was vague in that he said they were done 'some time after the first presses). Looks like another case of seeing how much the real, proper rare ones were fetching and wanting some of the action. $20 for the repress seems right now.

James D Hall - I Wanna Get Into You - JDH
Yeah, the 'later' copies are definitely not the proper real 'gold dust' copies. Holding both side by side you can feel that the ones that turned up weren't from the same batch as the previous real ones, though trying to describe it over the net is pretty tough. The later ones have a more orange coloured label and as I seem to recall they were quite glossy in feel. And as Sebastian says, the print was dot-matrix style, kinda of fuzzy around the edges too. Very odd. The funny thing was that the image the guy used to sell the 45s on Ebay with was actually clearly scanned from an older pressing, but when they arrived it was like, 'err, what's this then'. I did ask him when these were made and he said 'sometime after the first pressing' or words to that effect. I think most people who have been around records for a while would have felt the same as I did when I held it: that it wasn't the same age as the real copy I had in the other hand.

Advice Wanted
Can't understand why, if he did send it recorded, that he'd not be more than happy to supply the info you're after (reference number, date of posting) if only as proof that he's sent it and not done the dirty. He'd have to be a real twonk not to want to give that info to stop himself looking like an idiot. Can't imagine any serious sellers not wanting to comply if only to maintain their rep: actually, it's happened to me before despite 5 or 6 requests for the info before a cock-and-bull 'explanation' for the record not arriving sooner, and at the end, still no 'proof' of it being sent the first time. Unfortunately some people are just stupid and really crap at customer service.

Tony Aiken & Future 2000 Lp
Think this should be the major giveaway on reissues vs OGs...isn't that larger dink something that's usually more common with 70's/80's issues?
