Kiki Dee £334? A year ago it was £125.

About 6 weeks ago I raised exactly the same subject except mine was with a UK seller overcharging postage by £2, I also wrote a polite email asking why post was so high, he replied that item was actually damaged and sale would be cancelled. It's quite a long thread, I'll see if I can find it. I reported him to ebay.

Alice Clark booted on Canterbury label. Jimmy Conwell, terrible muffled, quiet sound quality on the boot.

If she was on Sure Shot maybe she was Rhonda Davis? Same family of labels...

Yep you are right, Jenny & The Jewels, Ritchie Brown, both were popular especially J & The J's, Val Palmer is pretty rare actually, don't think I've ever had it. Funny that she went on to dj at the 100 Club though

I can't see it though, can you, like let's make 100 or 200 demos of all our singles - oh except that one, let's just do 25 of those LOL Was Kim one of your gang?

I swear I've never heard of either of those (I remember the Tymes when it came out but never knew it got played, and definitely not heard the other one)

Got a feeling she was actually portrayed in the Ray Charles biopic a few years ago

Two of the greatest records ever made on one disc, and in a condition that's nigh on impossible to find, if this was auctioned elsewhere it'd fetch 100 quid. First issue too.

Must have been. But if that had indeed come out on Avenue - I bet nobody would have touched it, it's all to do with it being scarce I reckon.

I'm not sure about that, I think there's a European twang to the vocals so it's probably an Italian group after all

Maybe she should have made sure he put the right version of Too Many People on instead of that tame second version that did come out p.s. she is talking b*llocks

I sold one about 4 months back think it was £75?

Don't think it's worth anything but they appeared to have reactivated the label just for him.

I have to say I'm gobsmacked but no.1 guy on here sent me a photo of an issue of Roddie Joy so I hold my hands up and say I was wrong in saying it was demo only!

Financial suicide really, but there's nothing I hate more than cutting up cardboard boxes!

Chubby Checker on Spanish London has got nothing to do with anything, it's a legitimate release by London from 1976 when it almost made the UK charts on it's reissue.

Jeezus, anyone want mine for £50?

Sure you can

I know, I keep thinking about it...but after working for myself for so long, I can't imagine being told what to do by someone else..

If you need the money, you sell it for whatever you can get, never mind wanting top whack for it. I could wait for a year for something to sell at book price, yet reduce it by 25%, instant sale. Don't sell, don't eat, simple as that.

They do, occasionally they use them in liner notes etc. Though they're usually Beatles..
