"Runnin' Around", a fabulous LP-only track from 1984, has had some spins:

Royal esquires ???
The position of the label in relation to the etched/scratched matrix details should not be taken into consideration when it comes to 60s/70s records that have paper labels. The printed paper labels are loaded all kinds of ways into the pressing machine and very seldom in the exact same position.

Indeed. Three copies have sold on ebay during the past 10 days for $382, $460 and $385.

JM AUCTION JULY 6,2022
https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/king-size-taylor-thinkin-let-me-love-you-polydor-56152.html A flawless archive copy! Even though King Size Taylor was the dominant "Merseybeat" vocal when he was with Tony Sheridan And The Beat Brothers, he surprisingly only had two solo singles. This is King Size's 2nd UK R&B 45, 3 years after that juggernaut version of Ted Taylor's " Somebody's Always Tryin'" this 1967 Polydor rarity also frames Edward Taylor's beautifully rasping, scouse vocal. On this 45 he delivers not one but two great "made in Britain" Mod dancers. Garnett Mimms was gathering an enthusiastic Brirtish fanbase, his pre-summer tour of the UK was in the pipeline. Polydor "R&B" orientated producer Fred Lloyd (Longboatmen, Linda Kendrick, The Carrols etc) presented Kingsize Taylor with the Garnet album track "Thinkin'". A Jerry Ragovoy and Chip Taylor New York composition for Kingsize to mold with his impressive vocal. It works so well, a great soul recording right on the money, aimed at influencing the MOD soul-wave that was sweeping the country, unfortunately like so many Polydor 45s on the mid-60's it got "lost" through lack of promotion and failed miserably. Which was a waste of a great UK session, especially when the flipside was another fabulous Chip Taylor creation "Let Me Love You " with the Nicky Welsh orchestra summoning up honkin' horns, coated with exceptionally shrill girl-group choruses and swirling banks of strings. On this side King Size's sandpaper lined throat, sounded even more effective than usual. Two great sides by a British artist that never broke through with his two killer singles but found a cult following through the 60's Mod club scene. This March1967 45, in our experience even rarer than his so sought after, Decca release. RARE and UK only. Archive condition, library date 14/3/67 on the a-side 3 prong centre, Flawless vinyl, still housed in birth-sleeve.

Both sides were also recorded by Johnny Otis on King. O-Cal was Johnny Otis publishing company. Both sides penned by Johnny Otis and Nehemia King. Nehemia King must be Nimo King. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF405dFmTN8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7-185DuQTY

New Ebook - The Heeey Baby Days Of Beach Music
It's 2022 and they're selling an ebook on a USB drive. The mind boggles. It's a fantastic book. Someone should re-publish it instead as a regular size book with normal size lettering.

Guitar Ray find?
For the sake of transparency, the copy that I sold on ebay on June 8 came out of an extensive blues collection here in Sweden that recently was sold via a local auction house. It did not come from a recent find/stash.

Alder Ray “ What you trying to do to me”
That copy was severely warped and didn't play correctly during the first third of the songs. Regardless, it was listed without soundfile and few people seems to have been aware of it prior to funkyou's auction. Soundclips and seller reach is everything when it comes to these types of records.

Auction Snipe Tool Fooling ?
Just use another sniper if you don't have trust in esnipe. There are lots of alternatives out there (Gixen for example).
-
Auction Snipe Tool Fooling ?
ebay doesn't own esnipe. ebay would never encourage sniping as it usually makes bidders pay less than they would've if they'd bid the "regular" way and pushed the price up (resulting in lower fees for the seller).

Selling a c/u question?
This one is definitely a scarce record. Only one copy through ebay (in 2015) and not listed on Discogs (it is listed on 45cat though). Doesn't float my boat at all, but it's not a common record.

It's the Traffic Jam version of "I Can't Get Over You" that goes for money. Chet Davenport's has got annoying off-key vocals.

Ebay Copy (TopSeller) Cecil Washington On PROPHONICS
That's because the seller uses ebay's Global Shipping Programme. If the seller didn't, you wouldn't have to pay VAT at checkout. You would however have to pay it upon arrival to the UK and if the seller states the actual value on the customs form you will have to pay the appropriate sum, if the seller states a low value you would have to pay a nominal sum. Hope this makes sense. Ebay doesn't collect VAT on items over £135 unless the seller uses Global Shipping Programme. They (and the legal system) expects the seller to state the actual sale price of the item so that correct VAT and customs fees can be charged upon arrival to the destination country.

Ebay Copy (TopSeller) Cecil Washington On PROPHONICS
Yes, that should also be the case with Discogs. I'm not in the UK so don't know how Discogs apply VAT to UK orders, but it would surprise me if they charged VAT on orders over £135 as it's a UK governmental policy.

Ebay Copy (TopSeller) Cecil Washington On PROPHONICS
Ebay doesn't collect VAT on items with a hammer price that exceeds £135. If the seller states the full value on the package then it's due for VAT and customs charges upon its arrival to the UK. If it gets "caught" that is.

Anybody here win that Darrow Fletcher - No Limit acetate
I'm guessing it was just cut as a demo to shop around the song. Both Jean Terrell and Breakwater recorded versions of it that were released.

I sold it, the winner is on here, but I'd imagine they'd wish to remain anonymous. A fantastic track indeed and a unique item.
