Joe I am sure that the increments are constant, and set at the start of each individual records auction. The variable is each bidders maximum bid. Confusing as I said earlier as it is a pure fluke if the finishing price can be divided by the increment. As soon as a bidder puts a maximum bid, that beats a previous maximum bid, it will jump to that then add the increment. Have you tried working out the increments on Ebay Martyn

Assuming in your example we are still looking at £9 steps C - Bids £75 max auction price will show as £9 as there are no other bids B - Bids £100 max bid will go to 'C's £75 + £9 = £84 and is winning the item until a bid over £100 is placed A - Bids £150 max bid will go to 'B's £100 + £9 = £109 and is now winning until a bid over £150 The increments are confusing as the auction always goes to the highest maximum then adds the increment, whatever it is for each item. I am pretty good at maths, and must admit it confused me as to why every auction was not a perfect division of the value of the increment, until it was explained to me. Martyn

The original bidder would have put a maximum bid of £70, as it was the first it showed the lowest possible amount £9. A bid of £100 by bidder 2 would take the amount to £78. Martyn

International GTO's - I Love My Baby - £400 Martyn

In 1944 my Father was stationed at Blackburn for his basic training, he used to go dancing at Tonys. So it is fair to say that I followed in his footsteps on this occassion. Martyn

I first heard it many years ago when Dave Welding played it, I had been told that it was only on the B side of the issues, the demo's being double A sides. However I have also been told that there are demo's with it on the B side (not seen one myself though). Martyn

"Aint Nothing Like A Little Bit Of Lovin" was also a B side of "Need A Replacement", and a darn fine tune it is too. Martyn

I asked for that.......

One thing with the 'Out Of The Past' stuff they did not try any con tricks with regard to cloning the original label. Were they produced under licence? Martyn

Mine also has " Original will be issued in 20 years " (wheres the tongue in cheek smiley) Martyn

Sad news indeed, laughing and joking with Linda at the last Middleton, our thoughts go out to Mark and her family. RIP All our love Martyn & Carol

Kirsty 'Right Click' the link and choose 'Save Target As' option. Save it to your PC, it will download then give you the option to open the file. If you are not on broadband be prepared for a long wait, it is a large file...but worth every minute Martyn

Whats more he still had a beer in his hand throughout the whole routine ...... martyn

I think that the Eddie Holman track was issued, but only on an LP. Martyn

There is also a 'Prophets' - Suspicion on SOUL BEAT, with Eddie Holman - Where I,m Not Wanted on the flip. Which is the version I remember hearing played out early 90's. Most of the 'Originals' - Have Mercy On Me - are white label jobbies Martyn

Roccia the link is to a bootleg on ebay, if you look at the label it says 'Made In Italy'. Martyn

It was mentioned the other day on here /index.php?showtopic=38493 Martyn
