Restoring "noisy" Vinyl
That's the Servisol one isn't it? Found it useful for actually cleaning up the vinyl (as in "it looks better and has a better shine to it") but not for cleaning the grooves. Improvement of sound was only marginal. is there any magic trick I have to do? Like letting the cleanser dry before rubbing it off?

Missing Records - Is This Just Bad Luck
Problem with Belgium wasn't the post but a bunch of pretty dodgy dealers ripping off folks. But they're long gone now, aren't they? I'd still sell/send worldwide but would insist on signed for/insured post to the countries mentioned e.g. France, Italy, Russia.

Four Voices-Our Love Is Getting Stronger-Voice
Just curious, what's comic-book style restoration?

Stunning Piece Of Motown Collectable - Lewis Sisters W/ Picture Sleeve
Seems like I either overpriced it or misunderestimated* demand as it's still here waiting for a new owner. Therefore I'm now open to any reasonable offer, be it cash or vinyl. * c/o George W. Bush

100 Club Anniversary 45's
Don't remember where I read it but it was just recently*. I think it was Ady who said they credited it to George Jackson as this most likely but eventually it turned out wasn't him. Real artists remains unknown. * edit: might have been the liner notes to the brilliant "Deep Shadows" compilation on Kent. Where's Ady when you need him. Can somebody please switch on the Ady-sign?

My alltime top fave 100 club 45s (in order): 6T2 - Melba Moore - The Magic Touch 6T8 - Chuck Jackson - What's With This Loneliness 6T7 - Carla Thomas - I'll Never Stop Loving You Of the recent ones my favourite side is the (mis-credited) George Jackson - All in my mind.

Four Voices-Our Love Is Getting Stronger-Voice
I've sold my gold copy a few years ago on Ebay. Can't remember how much I made with it. Not a fortune for sure but more than what I paid for it, I'd guess 40-50 pounds.
-
Four Voices-Our Love Is Getting Stronger-Voice
When the gold issues came on the market they sold for 20/25 max. a piece, I bought one at the time and sure wouldn't have paid more than that. Sure price went up soon after as demand exceeded supply.

Nina Simone - Touching And Caring
yep. 45 is Spain and Germany only.

Barbara Mcnair Uk Demo Whoops
Seller sold it for 470 quid and yet didn't bother to post it in a proper mailer and to write "fragile - do not bend" on the parcel? *facepalm*

Eddie Holman - Where I'm Not Wanted
Yep. Mixed up both titles

Eddie Holman - Where I'm Not Wanted
Oops, I had it down as late 90s. But just learned it was late 80s.
-
Eddie Holman - Where I'm Not Wanted
Sorry you're indeed wrong. It's Eddies' take of "She's wanted" (Larry Clinton) that was issued on G2K. The slower take of "I surrender" came out on a Goldmine LP/CD before Universal. Don't know if "where I'm not wanted" is also on that album. Wasn't "Where I'm not wanted" included in the Goldmine Wigan Casino 25th Anniversary 7" box?

Northern Soul Monster Tempests Someday (On Stardust)
Like you I always assumed it's Martin Kopell. First Stardust releases appeared in the early 90s, or at least that's when I saw them for the first time. Tempests around mid 90s at a guess. IMO Stardust is nothing but a bootleg label, period. They might be legal in Canada due to a loophole in copyright laws but surely aren't licenced at all. Bit like the belgian Marginal CDs from the 90s. If a record is re-released w/out consent of owner of rights it's a bootleg. Whoever bought that specific Tempests 45 on Ebay bought it to dj with. "45 has better sound quality than the LP", that's just bullshit unless the only copy of the LP one has ever played was a G- US mono press. I've owned/heard various presses of the LP over the years, canadian, dutch stereo, german stereo and they all have supreme sound quality.

Stunning Piece Of Motown Collectable - Lewis Sisters W/ Picture Sleeve
For sale a stunning piece of Motown collectable: THE LEWIS SISTERS - YOU NEED ME - GERMAN TAMLA MOTOWN w/ Picture Sleeve! Seriously rare german original on the nice looking dark green/silver Tamla-Motown label. This is only the second copy I've ever held in my hands and only the third copy I ever heard of. Very very hard to find as it sank without trace on release. Pete Smith once sold a copy in similar condition for 100 GBP and it went immediately so don't hesitate. Record is in EX condition, close to NM. Sleeve is VG++ close to EX. Looks great, very small # written in top left corner, tiny little wear on top edge otherwise beautiful. Asking price is 75 quid incl. worldwide registered p&p and Paypal fees. Payment Paypal only. Please PM for further details.

Everything is said but not yet by everyone

Has Colin Curtis Sold His Collection?
Russ Winstanley, Brian Rae and Chris King are three that come to my mind immediately.

Northern Soul Monster Tempests Someday (On Stardust)
There should be plenty of copies of the LP around. Off the top of my head I recall US mono/stereo, canadian mono (stereo too?), dutch stereo (renamed "well tempered soul") and german stereo.

Whats Going On With This Seller?
Have to withdraw my previous statement. Just saw that Ebay UK forces all sellers to accept Paypal. I didn't know that. Ebay Germany requires Paypal only for sellers below or above a certain rating threshold (+50? +100?).

Whats Going On With This Seller?
Seller wants postal orders only so where's the problem?

On Top Of The World - The Stafford All-Nighters Podcasts
I quite like the Gas Powered Clock instrumental, but not as a Northern track more as a pop one. I think the Leo Wright cut sounds quite different to the United Four cut I'm used to. Will see if I can find my United Four mp3 and if it's really just a speeded up Leo Wright. Do you know if original acetate is uncredited?
