Cheers Mark. I'd forgotten they do boxes too. Just bought a couple of nice cheap flightcases online Phil

Madness. Anyone want to buy one for a bargain £4999 ? I was pleased to get the Saxie Russell mind Phil

Thanks for the replies. Most helpful (particularly Ken ) I suppose I'll just have to go on paying it. Phil

I've recently started to try and re-purchase all the records that i sold some years ago. This usually involves paying people in the US lots of $. And then when the records finally hits these shores, paying a load of import duty & VAT etc. Does anyone know if there is any "legitimate" way of paying less VAT & duty? These charges are sometimes crippling (£300.00 in the last week alone) Cheers Phil

Annabella's was great. I learnt so much about the tunes there as a snotty nosed kid.

I agree, wonderful little tune thuis one. Another often overlooked gem by Ricky Allen on Bright Star is the wonderful "I'm Such A Lonely Man" Phil

I agree with a lot of what's been already said. As for me personally, i just have always bought what I liked (if I could afford it) and a lot of what I didn't particularly like sometimes, if I thought that I could sell it/ trade it on. I foresook "normal" holidays for most of the 80's and 90's, instead going to the US whenever I could to search out vinyl. That meant that I could always get hold of records at relatively, and sometimes ludicrously, cheap prices. I could then sell these on at the prevailing price at the time to buy the sounds I couldn't find in the US. That said, I have spent far too much money on records in my time. And now I've got the bug again Phil

I'll be your agent. seeing as we've established that it most likely involves family (my family that is) I think I can guarantee you at least a dollar a pop - less expenses of course Phil

I think I may be related. I've met quite a few Dick's when I've visted Detroit over the years, and one of the backroom boys at Motown told me that Berry "was a real Dick!" Coincidence? I think not. Now then. Where's me royalties? Phil Dick

Never mind the buy it now price. I think the starting price is too high. have you seen the state of that record!

Of Hope, Dreams & tombstones. Youth Opportunity thingy equally welcome. please PM Thanks Phil

I mean "Why Can't I Love Him"

Why can't He Love Me? brill sound.

After a fortnight or more of waiting the following finally dropped through the door@ The Cautions - No Other Way - Shrine Little Tommy - Baby can't You See - Sound Of Soul Supposed to be in only average condition, but dirty-ish labels and a few scuffs but they both play marvellously. Chuffed to bits Phil

The Rampart issue I have doesn't have the horns Phil

Be interested to hear the Eldridge Holmes. Have you got a soundfile?

Any kind soul got one? Please PM me Thanks Phil

Got to agree with Lucky Charms. Brilliant! Another one I wish I'd never sold.

No, not a lottery win:( just a new credit card with 0% interest until december. They weren't that dear most of them, anyway. Added in the last week - Dynamics - need Your Love, Holly St James W/D, Shirkley lawson - One More Chance,Eddie Hill - Nothing Sweeter & Volumes - That Same Old Feeling (last two not in great condition) Phil

Great texas pop soul. I'll post soundfule up if it gets here tomorrow. Was expecting (hoping) it to come today Phil

I'm after all the releases on the Uk Project label (early 80's) with the exception of Goldie Alexander - Go Back. Used to have these but sol 'em all apart from Goldie. PM with offers please. thanks Phil

Greater Experience - Don't Forget to Remember - Colony 13 finally arrived with the postie today. Well chuffed. One of the many I regret selling a few years ago. but now it's mine again.

I just bought that one on ebay. Worked out about only £25 or so. Hopefully it'll clean up good enough to play. if not I can always nail it to the wall

Volumes - That Same Old Feeling - Impact Anyone got a copy to go/ PM me if you have. Cheers Phil

Be interesting to see if there's any difference between the 1, 2 & 3
