Gonna get slated for this but Druggies only want a hit and couldnt give a dammn about anyone else but themselves. Never taken nothing illegal in my 48years being one of the Jam butty brigade at Wigan. God if you need drugs at our age you are mentally in trouble! :angry:

Hi Just wanted to ask if anyone was having delivery delays from the states. Ive got 4 or five records to come but are overdue by a week or two. Some people in America say they are having delays getting them out of the country due to customs.! Cheers Steve

Lock up your daughters! The Gasher is Coming to Cheshire- Have agood one Keith and make sure you have a translater there for when Richie says something over the mike.

Wow this has woken me up! I know Im only third party to whatever happened but! I think we should form a group called the "Soul Police" and say to Mr Roberts Anything you do say will be taken down and used as evidence and if you do remain silent anyhing you later rely on will be taken with a pinch of salt. Looks like you made a few enemies here Kev - Get it sorted It will only take one more mistake like this and someone with a bee in their bonnet Could be sending you registered letters with litigation summons in them- Very costly! Not worth it. Swalow your Pride Kev and Just apologise at least Was Richard involved in this promotion - If so whats he got to say about it?

Thats a good one Danny- Im surprised he used a decca demo would have been nicer with an Photocopy of a Decca issue-HA HA

Pete if they cannot do business with you in the proper way then they dont deserve to do business with anyone- Blacklist the Bast**ds they wont be able to do it again. No excuse Got the money - you get the record

So just Pm me with the photos or email me on s.eckersley@nhs.net. Come on Now Ady dont be shy. Actually I should wipe both lips as I am tucking into a spicy bit of Chicken. I dont understand this top lip thing so please advise! New Tune - Just a little faith and english understanding- On top lip records Ive never heard it before

I also Agree with Pete. The point I was making was The Del satins was around in the 70s and The magicians is late 90s /2000s- Why did it take so long to come about? 20 years to find it Given the exposure of the Del satins? Its not the same at the Mayfield singers as that was not around in the 70s (please correct me if Im worong) If there is authencity available to it e.g The original master tape with details/label etc then prove me wrong and pm me with the photos. This would prove me wrong but Im taking bets it wont be forthcoming. The challenge is there! I really would like to wake up and smell the coffee but I think I will be smelling Bullsh**t

I dont believe the Magicians is original! After all these years and with the contacts many djs collectors have it surfaces a year or so ago- Nah dont believe it for aminute. Whats next- Skyliners doing avocal to Condition red - Just because they both recorded for jubilee! Wake up and smell the roses!

I am interested in this term "Known Copies" What equates to value is a number of factors which again is all subjective but its this term Known copies that interests me If there are 5 known copies does it make it rare if infact there were 5000 made and because you do not know what happened to the others does this threrefore make the record rare and ultimately reflect price? Or If the 5 known copies actually were 5 in circulation but a dealer has 100 of them but is not prepapred to part with them would this ultimately affect the price? of the circulated copies. Or am I just speaking SH**E as usual

Lee Williams & Cymbals- I'm everything about you- Carnival Ex Major Harris - Loving you is mellow - Atlantic - EX

This is a real one- The Broken Hip - The Olympics on Tri disc One I made up- "Slipping with The Gasher" Similar to the "Haggis dash" but without the neeps and tatties!

Sorry thats irrelevant- Some people pay more for records off the bay than some dealers here sell for and still get ripped off with the postage. If it wasnt for us Brits you wouldnt be selling any of this stuff and it would be consigned to the recycling dump!

Vic Montaine & Montaines - Baby whats your name on Rotate

Yes Im working Friday +Saturday Need the Damn Money to pay the leeches(Solicitors) Hopefully see you at weekend

Good point - some have not moved very much - Embers etc but others have gone daft- e.g Del larks. Makes you think though even if it had gone up ten fold it would be anice tidy sum

I sold my collection in one night at wigan except 6 records Jan 1980. I got £1785.00. I bought a new motorcycle and had a fabulous holiday. So Guess what that lot would have been worth today? GULP!

Emauuel lasky on DT has gone through the roof pricewise. Cheaper alternative Fourth Day- on DT

Right- you walk into reaturant with less than a minute to go before they stop serving you order a staek with pepper sauce The Steak is £10 and your bill is £13 because you did not look at the price of sauces which were in small print at the bottom- Are you saying you should have been in the reatsurant an hour earlier to accept what the sellers whole price rate was! Dont think so! I do look at auctions well in advancebut sometimes I just go on ebay and see something at the last minute like alot of people do but what they dont expect is to get ripped off which is what these people are doing. What if you bought a record off me and I decided to pack it in a large box with quite alot of weight in it. All I put down on the postages area was to be sent first class. In anormal mailer it would be about a pound for one record but because I put it in a big box it cost £3 would be happy with that!

Sorry but Im not having this- Ebay is a bloody auction site not a shopping centre. Whats the point of having postage rates if the seller is just going to rip people off. Postage and packing is covered by so far as is reasonable. If the Postage was $3.35 and the box was $1 where is the bloody rest. Everyone who sells on ebay is a third party and their time etc does not count in a final price so they cannot use that as an excuse to bump up the postage . How would you feel buying a car for £1000 from a dealer who says delivery cost is £50 £40 wage and £10 petrol only for him to pocket £20 of the wage aspect as a little earner- Would you be happy about that- I dont think so! I think we should name and shame these rip off merchants as many of them dont highlight P&P to UK and before you reply -you dont ask the seller what his postage is 30 seconds before the end of the auction! GOd Im angry about this cos its happened so many times I could have bought a decent record for the amount Ive been conned out of!

Ive just got a 45 in from the States and it says the postage was $3.35. How can all these con merchants justify what they charge! they charged me $8 Ive had an argument with a guy on Ebay who said he would not change his rules on combining shipping- If the records were more that 3 days apart when finished he charges$14 FOR EACH RECORD(LPS) It took several messages before he said he would pack and send them seperately. Should we have a new forum section called - Ebay Con Men"Dont touch them with a barge pole" Maybe they would get the message if people stopped using them. Consumer power and all that!

Is this the same as the Vipers

AT WIGAN-Being the usual nice guy- Gentleman and holding one of the girls purses for her while she went to the Loo only to get picked up by the Police for possession of God knows what cos I was one of the Jam butty brigade. AS I was Student nurse my carreer could have been over before it started. After the usual sample and questioning they let me go. From that point I decided that was it. Funny though My mate Colin Strath laughed his head off as he was a policeman who went to Wigan but had dropped me off that night to go and pick his brother up from Mcr airport. I thought being picked up was a wind -up. IT WASNT!

Thanks Ged- I wasnt sure to play it as it has something but its hard to describe. The beginning is a bit Naff but then it does get going. I thought it was a commercial piece put couldnt put my mind to it! Bugging me- Was it a minor Hit?
