Yes I do think people can be conned by represses - AS I have just said Antique dealers have been doing it for years - So what is stopping anyone doing records. You pick a record you get it pressed with good looking labels - scratched in matrix - Different grades of plastic were used for vinyl in the 70s so you state this was pressed in some plant in the middle of where-ever etc You even stick them in a box in a really damp area for a few weeks so some of the paper covers stick to the labels  etc etc etc and hey presto. For those of you in the know about COAs even they are now subject to questions of Authenticity- I should know having earlier this year sold over a hundred Rare collectible Pop records with signatures on them.It wasnt the autographs that were in question it was the authenticity of the COA Some Coa,s  have been reproduced in the last 5 -10 years where even the paper/Watermarks /seals and signatories have been reproduced to confound original people who did the COas in the 70s and 80s so I cannot accept that you cant replicate some records to the point of making a fake look real and pass it off as such if you really want to. Anything can be done if you want to deceive!

But thats my point Chalky - Hes watched how many around - got some pressed up and dripped them out! at $1-2 to get pressed up its easy

I have the album and its for sale!

Ill say this again just too upset eveyone- Without provenance you dont know how many copies their are out there of any record. The technology today can reproduce records almost perfectly and where they dont they make up interesting stories like this was pressed up in Hawaii or east coast or West coast - Take your pick! If one more copy comes from this guy how do wereally know he has found another or just had one pressed up and stressed. The Antique dealers have been doing it for years so why not with records?

Many Thanks to Ady and I do hope Tommy and family is Ok Steve PETE - I once got a bollocking from Fred Dibnah at a place called Wet Earth Colliery when I was about 12- We used to go down the shaft and nick pieces of the wtaer pumo built by the famous James Brindley and he didnt like it as he thought that he owned evrything that was historical in industry. Wet Earth was next to Clifton Colliery in manchester which was the scene of the greatest mine disaster in UK. Just some uselees information I wanted to share!

The best one for me was I bout a record at about $150 and the postage was around $20 cos I wanted it insured etc. The cheeky seller addedd the $20 to the cost of the record on the customs form so I got charged for $170 instead of $150.

Pete is this ok to post here Due to the bad weather the post is delayed especially from Scotland. If you have bought something could the receiver just pm the seller to say record received and ok as a courtesy as it takes away a lot of stress if you have sent out a few. I send all mine out in the Uk recorded or special so it should be on the system but one buyer on here said he could not see it on the system so God knows what the Post office are up to. ATb Steve

Have alook at the bid percentage activity between the winner and the seller if its over 90% you can say its more than likely shill bidding! Had a similar experience in the last few months with a US seller thats been documented on here.

The 45 was also released on minit but I dont know if it was slower like the Lp track.

I have one for sale in Ex condition 20 quid + Postage

I have a Uk 12" test press of this for sale.

For me there are loads - Great label but my fav is Hokis Pokis - Swing Sheer memories of the Mecca!

Spoken To Ady via PM Enough has now been said on the thread. The problem is on here sometimes that you never know if someone has a genuine problem or not - Now I do. I had a problem with a Junkie here in Aberdeen smacked me with a bottle and then tried to have me done for attempted murder - Not the same situation but very worrying as my 5 year old daughter witnessed it so I feel for Tommy now I know the facts but Ady accepts the reason why I put the thread up. "Time to put this to bed"

Paul you said it wasnt much I was just responding that ! Yes if he is in a desperate situation Im not bothered that much about the records. But why is he still in the states- If his life is threatened - his family should help him get back to the Uk - Mine would and they dont have much money ! Infact if he had come on here and said something Im sure the Soul-source family would have helped him - Id have waived my records and thrown some money into the pot to get him and his family back to the UK. P.S. Dont get Narky with me just because Ive asked a couple of questions about an ebay seller! You know nothing about my life so you are not qualified  to comment! So you are prepared to send the 600 quid plus postage to all the  the buyers who've left negative feedback - Fine deposit 600 pounds in my paypal account and I will distribute it to all who are owed! My paypal account is s.eckersley@nhs.net Steve

Paul I totalled the Bid amounts of the negative feedback excluding money sent for postage & packing whatever that comes to The total is 947dollars which equates to 607 pounds Not such a small sum after all! He could have come on here and just said - sorry guys major problem will sort out before xmas and that would have deflected all this flack!

AS I said - Ididnt know it was tommy until I got this strange partial refund of $6.05. I suppose if someone is threatening your life - records are the last thing on your mind. Wheres the Police in this? I mean to sort out the racist B**tard. Sorry but the first thing I would do if felt that threatened is to contact my family immeadiately and get a plane back to the UK.Why hasnt he done this ADY? Id be back in the UK within 48 hours - Forget Job friends etc - My Wife and children would be my first concern and Id be on the first plane to safety!

Im sorry to hear of the trouble- However you said that this did not happen until the end of October beginning of November He listed tham early October so it wasnt that bad at that time I paid in the middle of October for the records I bid for so he had at least a week to 10 days before this incident happened to send them out so I am now suspect of any story unless someone can persuade me otherwise.

Breakbeatbananas is the persons Id and his email is TommyPotts (Thee Tommy Potts?) Look at his feedback What does it tell you cos I bought some records off him Never got them Filed a claim and today I get a partial refund for $6.05 whats that all about! link: https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=breakbeatbananas&ftab=AllFeedback&sspagename=VIP:feedback
