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

As Mike has said we need to be careful, I found a person on facebook who seems to know quite a lot about the person everyone needs to be careful about naming for legal reasons and his name is.... name and link removed by site

Is this his website https://www.elvinyl.co.uk/artists/7082-darryl-menkin-vinyl

Somewhere in my brain second hand goods are different and discussions about UK-EU are ongoing and July 2021 ring a bell, but I am no expert

And you will be saddened to know (unless you already did) of the passing in early December of Deborah Christine Newton Cathey, half of The Chantells........RIP https://www.cumbyfuneral.com/tributes/Deborah-Cathey

The plot thickens like my wife's gravy at New Year 45cat have the yellow one as a bootleg/repro And this comment This could possibly be the same group who are on Jamie as that is a Philly label. https://www.45cat.com/record/brx17

He seems to have disappeared ?

Is this him ? https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=https://jazzinphoto.wordpress.com/tag/gilles-petard/&prev=search&pto=aue

High point for me was managing to get to one of our local car boot sales in-between the lockdowns and buying 3 LP's for a £1 in nice knick

There is a comment on Discogs saying 2000 for the yellow one, but that may be wrong

Thanks that's kind of you. Older age, aches and pains......yuck I am now very intrigued with this and the other labels in the group so may start a new thread

Got a bad back and kept waking the misses up every time I moved You are so so correct to ask about the B side group being changed. It looks like your copy was first and in error and then corrected on the white one Looks dodgy, only as there are so many dodgy records "out there" Would be nice to know where they were pressed I know Tim Brown had the A side on a Goldmine single in 1996 Nowadays with these tracks being so/more popular in the UK I never know where they come from and it does my brain in

You can probably see why we are all "intrigued" Can you add a B side scan please to help with thread and matrix runout details please

It's no wonder we all get confused and you are the only person to say (so far on the net anyway) that the Companions was a made up name. Do you have any idea why someone would issue a group on a B side as a made up name when the A side was correct ?

I found this interesting off one that sold in 2013 from roots vinyl guide ? Test Pressing 2002 ? Description The Companions-I Can Feel It / Inspirations-Gotta Find A New Love-Benn X Test Press-Philly Soul 45 unreleased 60s-With xerox white d.j. label . Near Mint condition. Only a few of these test pressings were made with the correct group name on the "I Can Feel It" side. The Companions also recorded a single for General American, "Help A Lonley Guy." Both sides of this Philly Soul 45 were unreleased when they were recorded in the 1960s, and the regular green label Benn X 45 is long sold out! The strange world of vinyl eh ? Did the lister suggest green when yellow ? I think this Drifters sounding tune is one of the Inspirations cuts Larry Pinder, Ebert Holmes and Herman Johnson (Companions) ? https://stage.timtimebomb.com/tag/philly-soul/

On the El Corols release (first on Tiny) I reckon all the dates are wrong on that one too

I know it's been ages but I wasn't a member in 2012 Found this and it might help (sorry if it's been covered since Dave) I assume it was after March 1970 ?

It never came out on Blackhawk. Lou waited until Carrie later that year

Wonder if this ever got recorded ?

The plot thickens here saying 1966 for 116 and 1973 for C-116 unless I have had too many sherries https://www.45cat.com/record/nc300707us https://www.45cat.com/record/nc135439us
