Hi Dave, I knew you know it's all above board, I simply used your post to post what Richard said on his site. As Baz says I can't understand why anyone would think otherwise, especially someone so prominent and with the public profile Richard has.

from Richards blog/site...

I thought he was doing a bit of self promoting the other day when I saw but looking at other stuff he had for sale I don't think so.

Carl Hall on Loma

$2,950 vg- as well Have I missed something with this record, reckon it's about $2,850 over priced. https://cgi.ebay.com/Clay-Town-17700-Bobby-Reed-Northern-Soul_W0QQitemZ160522963717QQcategoryZ306QQcmdZViewItem

Me that's confused Brian, I should have read it more carefully but was on my way out. I'd like to hear the Pendulum one, what year was it?

Some nice record at bargain prices there Phil. I can't believe no has snapped the Oracles up at that price, that is a real bargain.

I love the Temptations version of this.

Daft question but I don't suppose you still have the tapes I'd love to hear some live recordings from those days.

original....

you can read an interview with Betty at https://www.crmvet.org/nars/chuckbet.htm

It's actually Betty Fikes and the Passions

no 45 carrying cases in the link for northern soul scene?

I noticed a few American dealers starting to use the 1 to 10 grading system lately. I personally think any more than one plus sign is not needed, why not just use excellent rather than vg++ or vg++ to nm? means the same thing to me. Don't ebay encourage the Goldmine system?

I was in Hudson's in Chesterfield t'other week, just off the market square, they had some of the 50 boxes made out of vinyl. Swan Flight will make to order, they did for me.

topics merged. Hope your stuffed after too much turkey

Topics merged. Hope you are all having a great day and you got all you wanted Merry Christmas to you all.

I see plenty of Americans use near mint which is their mint minus isn't it? See plenty list as excellent but like you say many seem to err on the side of caution and use vg+ which really is what most UK excellent and sometimes mint minus/near mint is IMO. Like I said what is the point of two or three extra plus signs (vg++ or vg+++)? Like saying it is in really really really good nick. Have you ever heard a dealer say that to you? It would be like talking to your kids

The ones I use I get from Roger Banks, and the cleaning solution.

So what grades are you gonna go for Richard? M- Mint Minus Ex Excellent Vg+ Very Good plus. No more plus signs should be allowed, one is ample, any more and it moves up the grades Vg Very Good G Good P Poor Any more? Too many would maybe confuse matters and IMO are not needed.

Very Good Plus (VG+) Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. Yeah right

I think a pricing guide in comparison to condition might be in order too....so many Vg and vg+ at ex, m- and m prices the Goldmine one and what you should charge according to Goldmine based on condition can be found >>>HERE<<<

The issue I once had was with backing.
