Could well have been written for P.J. Proby Rich, wouldn't like to hazard a guess which came out first to be honest.

Don't know if it's the same record but I've got Carol Chandler "Time Hasn't Changed You" on Steel Town 0002, mint, if thats the one

Been using one for about 8 years. It will get rid of really grained-in dirt, and you can see it attacking the dirt on the vinyl, but I wouldn't re4commend investing in one unless it's only £15 like the one I got from Aldi. I don't like the Maplins spray stuff, gives me headaches even in a ventilated room and it doesn't do a lot. I'm back to using handsoap and water.

No, I know - some great titles. Might have a little bid myself actually.

It is indeed an excellent condition Steve but you're shooting yourself in the foot by not stating that the majority are reissues and not grading them individually, the word 'repress' only appears a couple of times when it's obvious (to me) that nearly all of them are pressings etc...if they weren't, it'd be over £1000 by now. Just an observation...

Was that before I joined cos I don't remember it at all!

You could be right actually!

I didn't know that had finally been accredited, how did they find that out Paul?

I've had a few problems sending stuff to France Shaun but not vice-versa. I once sent a record to Belgium that took 4 weeks to arrive. That's the longest European transaction I can remember so maybe give it 3-4 weeks. I sent a recorded delivery out recently to Kingswinford which is literally 3 miles from here. The royal mail lost it.

Well they don't all start of plain white, some use old labels reversed so they look odd to start with. I suppose it's just general wear and tear but the really bad ones I've had all come from Jamaica and not the Uk so it must be to do with the weather conditions and the storage maybe? I mean some of them actually feel mouldy

But believe it or not, that is actually a common condition for reggae blanks, I still have 20 or 30!

It's February

You're right, it's a 1975 release, perfect sound quality.

I know, I just mean the ones who put that statement on their adverts, and there are hundreds now (I think ebay might actually suggest that they write that statement when listing as it's always worded very similarly)

I don't know how many sales these US sellers have actually lost by people not buying their records because of this statement and similar, but I have bought 3 records from the States this year, this time last year I would have bought 50 or 60 minimum in the same period.

I sold 2 copies in December for £50 and £60 respectively, one mono, one stereo. One had a little scratch but was otherwise mint, the other was ex.

I've had one of those as well.

Also came out in the UK that one

Yeah but those are out and out bootlegs, the original poster wanted to know how the legal reissues came about. As for those two you mentioned, bit of scratching you'd find out where they came from

https://www.dailymail...ogram-axed.html appears to be not much to it

One brilliant story is Selectadisc asking Kama Sutra via Polydor to do them a repress of Billy Harner's What About The Music, when they arrived they'd accidentally put an instrumental version on so they sent it back...the rest is history...the instrumental version is now worth £1000

I always thought that people in the Uk approached the record companies. Did Neil Rushton do the deal with Columbia Special Products for instance?

But a 'true' Mecca set would be unaffordable nowadays as it would include the likes of Cheatin' Kind and so on...some of the scenes very rarest classic Northern sides were first played there

I understand what you're saying - I just think that this particular record is a strange one to have undergone such a reaction. Next up, Ronnie Davie, BJ Thomas (bother better than P.A.)?
