I presume the reason Ace and others can use a 30 second clip is for sales purposes? Maybe reason why clips are allowed in sales? As for rest of site it is probably perceived as file sharing if not sales related???? Anyway it's one thing reading every post as a moderator but to download every sound clip if allowed to make sure it doesn't break the law is something I don't fancy doing. As said it is a site rule, there for a good reason I presume and I don't make the rules just enduser they are followed. Hopefully refosoul will be back up and running in the near future so that will solve the problem. Do as Dave suggested Pete?

PM'ed you Pete, not going to get into an argument here. I don't make the rules, simply follow them.

I've listened to the Jimmy McFarland tracks quite a few times, both poor IMO and not a patch on Bob Relf. The intro to one of them forget which as I type doesn't sound part of the rest of the track, sounds like it was added on after, the volume for the intro is louder as well. The Gloria Jones take is very good but I'd like to know when it was done?

Nice to know who your friends are? I'll remember that next time you are Lifeline and you want to get in as my guest For you to insinuate that those who knew him knew what he was up to, did nothing about it is out of order. Any scumbag who nicks records and gets caught should have his hands chopped off, whether they be your records, Eddies records or some rich record company owner! As Rob said he was one step ahead of everyone until caught at Yarmouth.

Why have you lost you old account Mike? Not being nosey, might just be something Mike or Nick can sort? Your old/other account still in the members list?

Dunno what you are insinuating Ken? Don't you think if anyone knew or could prove it or even catch him in the act before he was caught something would have been said. He didn't hang around with who you said, he was part of the South Yorks, North East Midlands crew at the time, he didn't travel with myself or Rob etc. Get your facts right and put your brain into gear before making comments like you do. We know it goes on but catching them at it or proving it is another thing altogether. Now this topic is about Eddie and his records, not something that happened 15 or 20 years ago.

The group members were Jimmy Jordan, Sam Tate and Eddie Moore. That came from BobA after he interviewed them as I crossed the names in Soul Harmony Singles out. https://www.sittinginthepark.com/interviews.html

No Ken he isn't

Dennis and the Intentions.....

Maybe if you hadn't included all the links to JM and if he hadn't one up for auction then maybe it would have been ok, it's pretty obvious what you are doing.

Pete can you put the scans in one post please, unnecessary bumping and can you edit your original post with "held" Sold" etc, not reply with what record is on hold etc.

Do you have a question about this particular record? If not what is the topic for or are you simply advertising the fact John has one on his auction? If so can I ask you use the website and ebay section please.

Totally agree with you. You are fair from the first time you list, how it should be. Some out to get as much as they can without taking in to account the condition. British I'm afraid I haven't the foggiest with regard to prices, they have never really interested me as a collector. As I said there have definitely been better days for buyers.

Everyone maybe an exaggeration but you only have to browse lists these days and ebay , look at some of the starting bids and they are over priced straight away. You have said yourself you sell cheaper because you can't afford to keep a record for too long, you reduce the prices within a week to get rid, plenty don't do that. VG to me is f*cked and not worth having, not much pleasure in listening to a record in vg condition and I guess I would only buy in that condition to fill a gap in a collection whilst waiting for a better copy.

I can remember days when it was better for the buyer. The 80's for instance many records you see today for daft silly prices were at reasonable and even cheap prices. I'm sure those buying in the 70's will tell you a similar story. Even 10 or 15 years ago when the internet started taking off for record buying on ebay, in the days of dial up broadband when broadband was considered a luxury you could get all sorts for next to nothing. Now everyone is clued up. Every one wants mint prices for vg graded records, buying has definitely been better.

He is a mint minus member and can't edit his topics until he is a mint member. But Deanosounds, can you do just the one update per day (until you become a mint member) otherwise I will close the topic if you keep bumping like today.

Think my brain has given up, the memory is getting worse so all these guides are a great point of reference. I buy as many books and guides that are available. Like you said you can never have enough information. Looking forward to Edition 6

Here's a sound-file of the US Everyday People for you pal. It's been the Holidays cover up of Dave Thorley and myself for the past few years, Mick H also has a copy but haven't heard him play it too often. It's been steadily getting a more and more popular record with the dancers, has everything IMO. The credits alone give you a clue to the quality of the record, Stevie Wonder, Mickey Stevenson....say no more. US Everyday.mp3

Cheers Mark, will try and have a listen later on.

I agree pal, not the best of adverts.

Thanks Keith for editing. If going to name and shame give full name not just first name as it tars all with same brush, this is aimed at everyone btw. Would ask that follow all procedures available though before naming and shaming and make sure you have all the facts, that includes reporting the member to the site as well before naming and shaming in a topic to see if we can do anything first.

Reckon there's more sales missing on CF than popsike and when I've used it results often poor in relation to popsike. I don't know why ebay don't have some sort of accessible archive of its' sales for reference, regardless of whether it was less than or more than $30 or even unsold, then you would get a better reflection of value, not just examples of the ones that fit the criteria laid down by popsike, the ones they manage to catch at that as well.

Do you have a link for the wine bar recording Mark? Gilly do me a copy of that tape, will see if can clean it up? Put it on cd for you as well.

Prices are like "state of the art technology" they are soon out of date. Different factors and market forces involved, supply, demand and what a buyer willing to pay, peoples rapidly diminishing income levels. Ebay/popsike prices are IMO one of the last you should consider when settling on a price as they aren't a true reflection of the price, all too often it's the result of two over zealous bidders. Many collectors and dealers avoid ebay these days. People who buy and sell person to person are the best guides to a price, there's plenty on here. But its like said use as many guides as possible when determining the price of a record. Popsike tell you HERE how they operate. If you'd asked me how much for Yvonne Vernee I'd have said £1800/£2000? Volcanos is tough but don't think anyone would have predicted that price.

you not looking hard enough It's just 3 or 4 topics below this one!!!
