Bugger, bugger and triple BUGGER!

Never asked anybody to withdraw an item early myself. Mind you, it's got nowt to do with being a gent...more to do with me hoping to get it for $3 instead of offering $100....

Checked out listings for local labels on Capital Soul Club site that was posted up on recent thread, but no info there either? Some-one must have some knowledge of this, half hoping it was a 70s reissue of some description, cus I know who outbid me and he will be gloating something rotten if it's well rare!

Remind me never to use my credit card with you again Pete.....just in case like...

Ah the beauty of ebay. Had the 'cracked' excuse many a time before now, as well as the 'grading was not as good as I advertised' excuse. Not to mention having a different record by the same artist arrive (usually crap and worthless) to be told that the item I won was out of stock, so they have sent an alternative... However, on a few rare occassions, the following has happened. When the seller has offered me a refund of my payment, I have accepted, but told them to keep the shipping cost and post the item to me anyway. They turn up, and guess what......lovely condition and no cracks etc...

Saw this in Jazz section of ebay last night. Never seen it on Top Level Records before, any-one any info on this. Most of label set out same as Tri-ode, though photo ain't too clear. https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4733609847

I did read whole thread Mike. First post mentioned 'Global', as well as 'writing and publishing' which can surely be aimed at musical talent as well as the written word. On that point I believe there are certain artists, writers or producers who deserve as much as if not more credit as a Guru on this scene than some promotors, DJs, record dealers etc. No intention of hijacking thread, I believed point was valid. However, rather than upset the apple cart I'll tow the line. My choice then... Carl Willingham - for expanding the bounderies of DJing whilst still knowing how to work the floor in a wide variety of venues. Respect him loads, still don't worship him in any way though...and he wouldn't want anyone to....

...but surely these have as much place (if not more) in this thread than Record dealers, promotors or DJs. Agreed there are certain people on this scene who have an enviable amount of knowledge, and they should be well respected for such, but why should artists, writers and producers be excluded Mike?

Gotta agree here. Although I respect a hell of a lot of people on this scene, I have never/will never hero worship any of them. Think respect counts for a lot more anyway......

So did The Futures (unfortunately)...but hardly Guru material Gaz...

Would have to throw Chuck Jackson and Van McCoy in meself

Tim should hold 2 positions due to the height of the bugger!

Great minds again eh Gary... Bit spooky that though...posted at the same time.....

...and without the artists, writers and producers of all the tracks that have had an impact on our scene there would be zilch.....

Bet he ain't even on your Xmas card list......

I thought you saved all your best goading for me. If you're gonna go and goad all and sundry for calling you a wanker then I'll have to find someone else to bicker with in future. Slag.

Yeah, got a U.K. issue myself - came out on U.S. as well I seem to recall having one in the past. Very good version.

I know who it was, I know it jumped, I know you sent it back, but best of all I now know it was shite. Also know you beat me on it as a blind buy. Also know I'm glad you did...

Not trying to pass on that dodgy Bud Harper 45 you won on ebay I hope Joe!

Please think about it.....just for a few minutes to give your missus enough time to get a good swing in. Personally, I'd wait till the other 200 show up.....

Talking about planks of wood......how's your bank holiday been Joe? You've gone off topic again mate.......

The tw@t who finds 200 copies and can't keep his trap shut!!!

I always thought the issue was rarer? Got the demo myself, but have always been told the issues were harder to find.

See Trouty...the pervert in you need a night off methinks...
