My apologies, seems like everything else in this world $$$$$$$$$

Well I did say everyone has been fooled by a "trade" deal (did the minions not realise that trade did not include them) I also said that people should refuse the items at the door or get there money back (it will stop this) I am amazed that this is happening, without the customer being made aware of the extra tax, before the goods are shipped, after all, wasn't it a new "law" that shipping is declared upfront before a an item purchased ? A disgrace and is it legal ?

Brilliant, I would love to know why the 2 different originals with 2 different credits, but history will probably defeat us.

I missed this thread There was a theory I heard many moons ago that the Superlatives here were Jimmie G. Edwards, Elees Lanton, George Jones & Jesse Henry What do we think and why are the label credits different ? Group photo on Discogs

"newcomer" perhaps implies my theory is incorrect, me thinks

This tune is a proper brilliant

Carl Feaster and his brother, baritone Claude Feaster, both of whom were members of the local Tune Toppers. Wonder if they were related ? Also check the spelling on this

Discogs has not implemented anything yet (EU) (UK in) as far as I know after July 2021. When it happens Discogs will do it so Customs forms won't make any difference. This is why they changed the shipping policies (automatic) I believe and the Paypal thing to facilitate future changes They started charging VAT on the fees some years ago (that messed up at first) and have already implemented Australia (In) and USA (In) (depending on States) taxes up front (or not depending on rules,)

To be fair I think anyway anyone can avoid tax is why the powers that be are using Paypal on OMPs to collect the tax up front. As for small businesses I don't honestly know the answer, but I do know that filling in the value is a waste of time if anyone wants compensation for claims as Royal Mail and other shipping companies only pay out the "original" cost of the item, so it's all a complete mess anyway. If you paid a £1 and sell it for £50 you might as well put £1 as that's all they have to pay

This from a blog https://lonestarstomp.blogspot.com/2009/11/cavaliers-mesilla-park.html "In the early 1960s 'dance' songs were all the rage. Everyone needed a dance song to stay up with the times. Las Cruces's Cavaliers, led by Lloyd Nash, joined in with their greasy "The Quiver" on this fall of 1962 release on Mesilla Park's Gum label. While Gum publishing can be found on a number of discs from El Paso, Mesilla Park, and Las Cruces, the Gum label itself was short lived with only 4 known releases, and two of those coming from the Cavaliers. And while we're at it... Gum was the publisher for Frank Gonzales and the Palisades's contribution to dance craze, "Dance to the Palisades"."

I can answer question about gift. If anyone sells a record it can NEVER be a gift (that's fraud)

I am more likely to agree with John (on this occasion)

https://doo-wop.blogg.org/cheerios-1-c26503296 This will help 😀

And here is an example of letting them win. It's surely no good complaining if you are going to then pay it. If everyone cancelled the orders then they would reverse the policy.

That's really useful and is it possible you can give us an example as to show us the difference please as I do wonder if some (like me) don't understand the difference but will and only will with a lot of numbers written down to tell 😀 ((This is a bit like doing my kids homework)

I agree, it's like someone who is a collector works for the HMRC (yuk) If prices fall or don't and the HMRC take their 20% they will be happy and the OMP companies profits will drop and if they did pay tax they will pay less so HMRC will get less (Dughhhhh!!!) Why does anybody still not realise that everything has 2 sides just like a coin. I do think though that Ebay, Discogs and others will lose out to Facebook in the long term as people switch to no fees (of course Paypal will then start charging for friends and family !!!) It may be of interest to some to read the stuff on tax in Australia which started 2018 https://www.avalara.com/us/en/blog/2018/08/australian-consumers-suffer-limited-shopping-over-taxes.html

It does seem very strange that he doesn't mention his music past, as you would have thought he would have been extremely proud of getting some of the best soul records IMO out of the door. Did Mojo UK write anything about Jean and why is there nothing on the net, did she just give up singing (as some did) or was Jean Battle an alias ? I did find this website but nothing has come of it ....... yet https://ginnmusic.com/label/moonsong-records/

I am no expert on VAT however I am guessing that HMRC and the like are using OMP's to collect the VAT as it was more difficult via the delivery service at the door and it's actually quite clever as buyers were often asking the seller to lower the value on customs to avoid tax on arrival, (You buyers know who you are !!!!) As for the "error" on one of your purchases I assume you have messaged for an explantation and will let us know what they say please

The VAT raises a few good points and questions 1. In the situation above I personally would withdraw from the sale (unless it was made clear at the outset and I knew what to expect) 2. Do Paypal already get a cut on postage (never mind there cut on the item purchased) and will that that they will also happily take their cut on the VAT (I hope the authorities will take a look at that, if correct). 3 Prices will most likely drop their prices by the VAT rate so Sellers will lose on profits and the greedy Governments will get the % instead ? This is where we were all fooled it was a "trade" deal not a "consumer" deal

You had to call me back as you were busy in your garden shed I believe

Steve Plumb listed it on Discogs so he will know Dave

Happy new Year Keith. I remember last year when we spoke you said how difficult the Jerry Murray/O stuff for your book was and I totally agree that if people like you do not do what you do then these artists such as Larry will never be known, never mind forgotten Just brilliant Sir and how is your shed 😀 Alan
