The record is extremely rare so why shouldn't it generate a decent sale price? If it was better known it would be a lot more.

No t on the subway and not soul but there is a rock n roll group who busk in Chesterfield who are really good, always draw a large crowd.

his name and address is on the listing, business seller information, click on contact details, he's from Pett in East Sussex, unless that is a pseudonym?

I know plenty of dealers with unplayed stock, some of it never out of the sleeve it was originally put in so I don't know how you can say no such thing. Depending on the environment it has been stored in plenty of them clean as a whistle too, some of it like Ian says dusty.

There should be two parts to the Ron Murphy one, it should start right at the beginning with cutting of the acetate to making the master to pressing the vinyl etc. Look at the links down the side from same channel.

taken out back and raped by two big guys wonder what the DJ thought if he read this?

I don't understand the use of YT clips when you can use mp3 clips in sales. They are a pain to load when viewing with a mobile device and I tend to ignore the topic when they are loaded with YT clips, loss of potential sale.

Fantastic bit of work Dave and Sebastian. Some great info there.

65? some young uns there then

another good one features Ron Murphy..... https://youtu.be/lDmBx4R-Gas

The vast majority know you Pete and your reputation. Ivor said avoid unless you don't know or trust them and I'm inclined to agree with him.

What's The Use In Me trying was the side at one time, no one wanted the Let My Heart.. side then.

you rarely see an issue compared to the demos....wasn't one on JM auction a while back? Paid £12 for an issue. Used to clear the floor with the slower flip, how tastes change. Wish I'd still got it, great double sider.

isn't there a machine that will "polish" your discs?

I haven't had to my knowledge one polished record from a UK dealer. I know it has happened but I know collectors who have suffered this at the hands of foreign dealers/sellers. I doubt it is down to dishonesty much of the grading over here simply a case of how it has been and how the system has worked over here for years. Of course there's a few who are dishonest and trying to con someone but crooks are everywhere, not just here in the UK so the blame cannot be solely placed on UK dealers. There are plenty of con artists, crooks and cheats in Europe and the US as well. As said if selling records you should clearly state your returns policy, postage and any other information that could be relevant. If in doubt ask the dealer or don't buy. Make sure you are 100% about every deal no matter where it is from. Make sure you have the name and address of the seller before parting with any money. How many times do you see a sale with no name, just a paypal address. I would also think twice about using gift payment via paypal if you don;t know the seller.

There's loads unplayed, if old store stock then doubt they have seen a turntable. Bet there's a few dealers with stock that has come straight out of a warehouse or from a distributor.

I've seen a few use it.

Maybe the Goldmine with Ex? It's better than the system(s) we have over here, or don't have in some cases. Ex+ would be NM which is what most US Sellers seem to use when I've seen it used.

it always makes me smile when I see vg+++++++++++ Isn't Goldmine the standard for grading? It's what ebay go by isn't it? or advise its sellers to use?

Maxine Brown, Let Me Give You My Loving is different on the Kent lp to the issued 45 on Wand. Not sure without going to check if it is the same on any CD.

Will say the grading is better in the States but there are good and bad dealers/sellers everywhere not just over here. I won't buy of ebay unless there is a scan or I know the dealer and I always check the feedback. As Rod said use the feedback on here, warn others of your problems, you should be able to find the sale item easy enough. If others see a problem with a seller then others will avoid him or her.

Great read Dave thumbs up :-)

Was that the Ditchdiggers Daughters site Marc?

Some just can't help themselves, abusive posts removed, topic closed, think it's run its course.

I've just caught up with this and can't believe some of what i've read. Think it might be an idea for all to drop the personal stuff, think it might be an idea for all to move on, accept there are different elements to the scene and people into it for different reasons, some of it might not be to everyones taste but there are venues to suit everyones taste, just go out where you wanna go and do what you wanna do and enjoy it while you can.
