Yes Brett you are a collector and you have the glasses to prove it lol the specsavers ones that make you look all serious. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Can the person who sent me a PM regarding the 6 records for the price of 5 £20.00 records please contact me again as I've just deleted my messages by mistake. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Perhaps this thread should be closed until the matter is resolved between the involved parties. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I'm pretty certain that no one would get this much negative feedback on purpose certainly not young Tommy, the lad has been wheeling and dealing in records for a good few years based in the States and if his Dad says Tommy is having problems then that's good enough for me, think about it why would anyone try to scam people for $5-$10 records because apart for the odd record all the sales are of this low end value, there are of course many chancers and rip off merchants on Ebay so I can understand people leaving negative feedback when they don't get their records but in this instance I feel that this has happened due to circumstances beyound his control, perhaps if it had have been possible he should have sent messages to the buyers explaining the situation to avoid this now sorry situation. To go from a solid reputation and good feedback to this will take Tommy a long time to repair so not only has he had to move house he now has a source of income gone or certainly damaged until he can address the current problems, lastly if Ady say's he will cover the refunds then take this as gospel he will. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Treat yourself to a copy the Alt take is a dream, trust me. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I have no idea on Neil's pricing struture? and I'm sure he will answer your question regarding this, perhaps because it's a 500 limited run where as other legit reissues are pressed in greater quantity I don't honestly know, rule of thumb being the more copies you have pressed the cheaper it will be, knowing Neil as one of the good guy's I'm pretty sure whioever owns the publishing on this will get their dues. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Neil sent me a white lable test pressing of this at the weekend and I must say it's sublime, the sound quality is without question outstanding, the Alt take is wonderful, bottom line is you won't spend a better twenty quid this Christmas, I would advise people to be quick on this as the 500 copies will be swallowed up pretty quicky, legit and all above board and a nice way to own a stunning tune well the only way being that the original Ovide 45 is so hard to find infact almost impossible. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Hi Paul, I've tried and tried to get my Mojo back as it were over the past couple of years and it simply ain't there for me anymore, where I once had to have them at whatever cost now it just ain't that important to me now, sure I still like the music but even saying that I can go weeks without even playing a CD let alone records, now if I feel like this it makes me wonder how many more people out there feel the same and have stepped off the merry - go - round of record collecting, as this happens it adds to the record mountain, the only thing that will happen is that prices will level and records will sell for a far lower some say more realistic price and it then will become simply about owning the tune rather than the trophy aspect to it which may apply in some cases with the big ticket items currently I think we all know that owning rare records on this scene gives you kudos and status, nothing wrong with that but would this be as great if all the record prices imploded and the financial value aspect was taken out of the mix? then it would perhaps be based on quality of music/record rather than it's price tag, if you love the music then the money side of it should not come into it but I'm a little worried for some people who have invested big bucks in a box of records who may end up with egg on their faces when they come to sell them.

Asked around and no joy, reckon no Demo's of this then? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Chalky has asked me to re open this thread, happy to do so if we can keep it relevent to soul rather than other types of music which have little or nothing to do with this thread, thanks. Mark Bicknell.

I've contacted the company direct to see if I can get a distribution deal in the uk or act as an agent, if it does come off I will keep them as cheap as possible, fingers crossed will keep you posted. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Keep it to Soul please.

All I can say is this party had better be good as I've given up a trip to Birmingham to watch Chelsea play lol two rather nice looking corn beef hash pies ready and a yummy box of tuneage well a few pressings anyway ready and it's almost partyime, reckon we could all get very very drunk lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Rod and he's proud of them, you should see them all in their nice new white cardboard covers all gleaming in his record box lol Mark

Now that will be some hole lol Mark

Noticed these last night when I had a good look through Ebay, thought this had all stopped, the joke is some of the titles are not even that hard to find on originals, must be people buying them otherwise they would'nt be there would they, beggers belief whos buying them? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Plenty of onions on mine please lol
