I may just don't get it: seller sends insured only and buyer insists on the goods being sent just registered? if that's the case why is it a scam?

Wish I had seen this earlier One of the best (and probably one the slowest) Rocksteady tunes! Would have bought it straight away at that price...

(First posted it about 8 weeks ago. Unfortunately the record got lost in the post so here I am again:) A close friend of mine is trying to find a nice copy of Five Royales - Catch that teardrop either on Home of the blues or ABC. Doesn't have to be mint but should be playable at least. He'd be able to pay up to 200 quid, depending on condition. Please PM me with price and condition, Thanks!

I find the two versions to be too different for comparison (and I think both are great!)

It wasn't the one on Maurci 104

John, I guess my prices were fair: Artistics already sold and looks like Tommy G will be leaving these premises too.

Don't know all of them but aren't they a bit left-field compared to the classic four beats to the bar Northern sound? I think the actual question was, there are hardly any new Northern four beats to the bar discoveries. And with that I'd certainly agree.

Both records are now up for sale with fair prices (IMHO), Artistics @70, Tommy G @ 45, both incl 'signed for' post worldwide. Would prefer cash but if anyone's up for trading against any Ska/Early Reggae discs from my wants list feel free to contact me any time.

For sale: THE ARTISTICS - HOPE WE HAVE/I'M GONNA MISS YOU - UK CORAL 72488 (EX+) £70 SOLD Great condition, plays lovely, immaculate labels! Valued @100 in a certain price guide. TOMMY G AND THE CHARMS - I KNOW WHAT I WANT - UK LONDON 10107 (EX+) £45 SOLD Again, great condition, plays lovely, immaculate labels. Nice 6Ts dancer. Seems to be either forgotten or a semi-known track. No soundfile in RefoSoul but you can check the soundfile on Manhship's site. US Hollywood 45 goes for about £25-30 FREE 'SIGNED FOR' POST WORLDWIDE! Paypal only. Please PM me for any further details

John, thanks a lot Just realized I mixed up my estimations, meant to say that artistics is 60/70 and Tommy G & Charms is about 50.

Although it's not one of my personal favourites but Billy Harner - I've got to check you out on V-Tone is one of the best recent discoveries. Classic Northern beat, catchy break, the lot.

I'm going to put the following two records up for sale but I'm not sure about fair prices for them. Artistics - Hope we have/I'm gonna miss you - UK Coral Demo (~50??) Tommy G & The Charms - I know what I want - UK London Demo (~60/70?) both in great nick, at least EX, clean labels. My estimates in brackets. What do you think? Overpriced, fair or bargain priced? TIA Benji

Here's the flip.

Bump, auctions ending in a few hours...

We're talking US releases aren't we? I have the US Bell one and I recall that I was offered a Maxx copy but couldn't be bothered to buy it as the track listing was identical. Anyway, that's how I remember it. If I'm wrong, so what.

tracks on both LPs are identical.

It is. Thanks for the info!

Good for you but that's not the point of this thread Unless you're going to add that the Red Point release isn't dutch ...

Are there any other 45 releases of Dwight Thompson - Man oh man/My woman is calling apart from dutch Poker? I know it didn't make it on US or UK but maybe other european countries, e.g. France or Germany? TIA Benji
