The drummer doesn't actually seem to be toucjing the drums Dave!

Ady I have 130 give me a bell to hear it.

I wonder if the pic sleeve only cane with demos. Fkynny what's hiding inside your sleeve?

Whoops! Sorry chaps - this is the Demo copy that came with the pic sleeve!

Hi Chris Try John Stubbs - Stubbsy on here. Crackin' flipside too!

No Pete - an Ebay purchase, which came with the picture sleeve.

Only available on French Philly? Or are there issues from other countries?

Even nicer on a nice white demo Dave!

Actually, no it's not - just found it. Typical 60s midtempo male duets with perhaps a southern feel. Reminiscent of Pic & Bill somehow. Mainly guitar, drum and piano backing - no brass. "You better (get yourself together) the original a side has a slightly funky break. Don't recall noticing this on other Big Hit 45s - this one has the titles in the run out, plus JMM's intitials and "Sound Patterns mastering Detroits first!" scratched in.

I'll have to get back to you on that Steve. It's behind a bookcase at the moment!

Yep, I've got one Steve!

That's Rare Northern Soul for you!

Sorry chaps this wasn't so much about the rights or wrongs of tax etc but the seeming increase in the number of grey cards! I think the answer is yes they are on the increase but not because of HMRC but the efforts of Ebay to squeeze every last drop of profit from sellers by getting them to pay them for their postage rather US Mail direct.

Careful Julian he might agree and then stitch you up!

Both of the latest packages have home printed Pitney Bowes combined postage and customs forms and have the Ebay item header in the detailed description box, so it looks as though the seller has just left the value at the final price. Saves them going to the post office I guess. At least there should be no more charges for the trip though in th handling charge Still in the interests of us buyers heres the last 3 that've cost me £8 apiece as well as the tax.: stik-shift soulheaven2769 recordsplus Not saying they're bad people just watch out for the card from the postman demanding money!

Both - but specifically the seeming increasing number of sellers who use full value. I've noticed these forms are not the old style green fill in yourself ones but white and larger and perhaps computer generated.

Has anyone else noticed the increase in cards from the Post Office saying that they are unable to deliver a parcel due to customs fees needing to be paid ? I guess most buyers on here use Ebay quite a bit, but even sellers who used to mark packages with a low value are now itemising records and their sale price on the customs form. Is this a new "Ebay automatically filled out customs form" or are things being cracked down on in the US (where it's a federal offence to falsify a customs form - although why when it's leaving the country is a mystery to me!)? I don't really mind (I do really! ) paying the tax, normally 20% VAT on lower priced stuff which is also charged in some cases on the postage too!, but I do draw the line at the £8 charge for the pleasure of paying it! Is it time to offer up to members the Ebay IDs of sellers who do this? Your views would be appreciated.....

Dave I can do Debbie Rollins Don't let it get to you girl and Estelle Brown - both DJ copies. Let me know if you still need 'em. PS Do you want both sides? P

I've got one of these Blake. Doesn't turn up too often. I'll keep 'em peeled....

That's Vocalion label mate!

De-Lites on it's way Dave!
