Know what you mean - I got a neutral because the record I sold hadn't got a centre. It was a US import.

But if the person would have emailed me and said they weren't happy, I'd have given them a full refund or if they wanted to keep the record, I'd have knocked some off, why not contact me first?

Where can I get one of those Night Owl eye patches??

Bad mood today - some c*nt left me a negative on ebay, says I graded the record incorrectly, which is complete rubbish - just planning revenge as I write this. First neg I've ever had over a grading out of 6000 feedbacks

Exactly. Bloody fantastic record. In fact, there was one in that job lot of crap I received last week and it's been on my deck for 6 or 7 days now, when the little one comes in and wants to play a record (well he likes to stop the deck with his hand and press the reject button) we play this one and I swear he's started to sway at the start now p.s. when the Lovelites get it off my conscience went big in 77, loads and loads of people bought this by mistake, including me, but I liked it and always have

Whoopee-f*cking-doo

One of my all time favourite records (shock!)

Clydie King gone..Reflections probably gone...rest still there

You're treading on very dangerous ground Sir!

Please - no more of these now - there can't be anyone who hasn't got a copy and I'm not doing any more unless it's off my dvd list. So please, don't ask about it, you are welcome to ask for a dvd list, thanks!

Their first single was actually on Apple, a version of Give Peace A Chance, credited to the Hot Chocolate Band.

Lost track of this but are you on about Timmie Williams "Competition"? Mick Smith got one out of a box at a record fair in Holland for something like 5 quid 18 months ago. Bastard.

Thats the point of having a forum for discussion.

So would I, but nobody in their right mind could say it's a better record

As a Northern record, Frank Wilson is a hundred times better than the Mellow Soul, imagine if you'd never heard either of them before and play them one after the other

There's one on Chess as well...

Was never under the impression that any of the square/hexagonal ones were reissues, what I meant eas that the gold one with the round clock design, they appeared en masse in 1976 and people have been selling them as originals

I dunno. Never seen one like that.

I'd ask 50 for Johnny Moore if thats any help

I like both versions about the same...

The gold label with the round clock is a second issue, simple as that.

Yeah it is a good price and it's a great record!
