I did go back and bid up to £769.00, but obvioulsy lost. You may as well sell me your minter, and we'll call it VG+? Cos it soon will be once I get hold of it. I bought a beautiful Saxie Russell W/D off JM's last week. It now has a big scuff across it as After iIplayed it I didn't put it back in its sleeve and the kids knocked it on the floor I'm hopeless at looking after records. the amount of nice tunes that I've scratched and broken over the years doesn't bear thinking about. Phil

Well I am the eternal optimist. Anyway It doesn't have to be in tip-top condition. Even if it was, it wouldn't be for lomg after i got hold of it as i treat my records like crap anyway. Phil

No. I'd give £500 for one like that (without the jumps and skips )

I am. I was bidding on that one but just got too rich for me. Phil

Wanted - Silhouettes - Not Me Baby in VG+ or better condition. Please PM me. Phil

Hi Paul, Thanks for the heads up. I used to have a demo that looked at best VG but played really great. Cheers Phil

VG or better copy of Talking Eyes wanted, also Poets - Wrapped Around Your Finger on J2 Thanks Phil

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.
