Carol & Gerri Stock Copies
If you collect issues rather than demos its worth £500 regardless of how 'played out' it is or isn't. It's just that rare. Out of interest how rare is a Tony Middleton issue compared to the demo?
-
Innersection Remix ?
To make money??? Not a great mix IMHO. Then again you don't need to sell many at £8 to cover the pressing costs and get into profit.

History Of Uk Northern Soul Labels
There must be someone on here that's got the skills? I used to use Paint Shop Pro and MS Publisher for the my contributions to "In the Neighbourhood" and that was simple enough. I know there's much more sophisticated programmes now and someone here must be able to help. Come on soul-sourcers. If we're anything like a community at all we should be able to provide scans pictures and some IT skills to make this happen surely? Hasn't John Manship set up a publishing vehicle for his own books? John?

History Of Uk Northern Soul Labels
Pete, Great source of info here thanks for sharing. With the advent of Print on Demand (which has improved in quality immensley) surely some publisher would add this to their list of material. No real investment for them once its digitised and its only printed to order. So no stock issues for book stores. I'd buy it - Perhaps some scans would really add value too.

Have You Ever Bought The Wrong Record, Thinking It Was Something Else?
What about buying the 'wrong' Lee Bates on Instant 'You Won't Do Right' rather than 'Why Don't You Write' funny how you can see what you want to see sometimes. Must be loads of others that shame won't permit me to remember.

Planning Setlist For 5 To 6-Hour Soul Set Next Week
Tim - That's a long time to concentrate for. If you schedule the whole set the I've found that I average 23 records per hour (I must talk less than Bob ) As miss goldie has pointed out you won't have to worry about other DJ's playing things you'd planned to before you go on so will need less 45's. You should also consuder how those pesky punters are going to ruin it all with requests that could take your playlist in a whole new direction or if you're going to ignore any that you don't already have scheduled. A set that long 'live' I would suggest has a few more pitfalls and is harder to plan than a radio set. I'd be taking 500 probably (Just because I have a 200 and a 300 box that I regularly use). Deciding how many is the easy bit deciding what they will be is much much harder I find.

Hit With Big Customs Duty & Import Vat Charges
Has he really? Are you sure? I can't see that anywhere. I also can't see the seller agreeing unless they accept they are in part at fault for declairing it as a gift. Why would they?
-
Hit With Big Customs Duty & Import Vat Charges
Very few people can truly know how they come accross to others. You included. As evidenced by your "No I don't" statement. If a seller incurs a cost that is a legitimate cost off business they can record it against their business. I took Richard to mean that dealers here in the UK can write of the costs against their "profits" if they make any that is.
-
Hit With Big Customs Duty & Import Vat Charges
Take the hit pay the fees would be my advice. Some years ago I got hit for almost £2k in customs charges and VAT. I had 123 boxes of records delivered and it was the 122nd box that customs stopped and then charged me on the whole consignment. Didn't like the fact thats that the customs charge was on the whole value of the transaction including the shipping and then the VAT was on the whole transation including the customs charge. Still paid it though.

Skullsnaps - Uk Issue
Not sure why you would post this once it had gone above your budget rather than before if it was so interesting.

Tamala Lewis Boot ?
Haven't got a copy but I believe it doesn;t have the nashville matrix stamp as stated before. It's hard to believe that two presses would have been done at different plants using different plates for the demo and issue.

Surreal Dj Requests
Whilst DJing for Liam and Phil over at the Belfast Soul Club this guy was chatting to me before I went on and said "I saw you play once at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool can you play that midtempo thing you played near the end of your set?" I said "Hmm can you give me any more clues?" He said " Yeah I thinks it by a guy and its possibly on a blue lable" It was only later on I realised he probably meant Roy Robert - I Know What To Do............. didn't have it with me anyway.
