I sell on here. If you were to query my prices I wouldn't mind. Yes, it would be obvious to some that my ad led to the discussion but then don't we already see that in say eBay listings or JM's auction. As long as you didn't say Rod is a rip-off POS I think that's OK. Present the evidence and leave it up to the members to come up with their own conclusions ?

When I was modding the sales section I think the rule was you didn't post comments on the actual ad. Nothing to stop you commenting elsewhere on prices as long as it didn't descend into personal attacks on the seller. Mike can probably clarify.

I'm sticking with my lorgnette. I'd just been over the road for my fags and paper. Wearing a mask so popped glasses on top of head. Bent over to pick up paper and glasses fell off. Lens came out so I'm scrambling on the floor for ten minutes looking for lens. How it got under the ice cream fridge I'll never know. Hence preoccupation with glasses. Cool my a**e !

I completely forgot about DG. He wore glasses. A pattern developing.

I read some of the blurb. I quite liked the notion that the reason NS never got the coverage, unlike punk, was because we had no intellectuals with access to the media shaping the musical narrative. I mean, I've read your posts and you're trying. And what about Stuart Cosgrove. He wears glasses FFS !

My wife should run it - she's right every time.

Lost me there. I was talking about Ralph's in Stockport, where I spent quite a lot of time not doing my A-levels. I did go to Manchester Ralph's quite a bit.

I am now sorted.

Doreen worked at Stockport shop now and again so I guessed Zan turned up there at times as they were an item at the time. As you may be aware I used to wag it at Ralphs. Carl was the black guy ? He used to write my notes to school. As I was there quite a lot around 1970 I do remember Little Louis and Scotch Joe used to come around. They sold me Tymes "Here she comes" and Gloria Jones "Finders Keepers" on UK demos for £1 each. I'd never heard them but the guys were too big to say no to ! And I'm 99% sure I got EJ from Spin Inn. I must have mentioned all this to you over the years.

Anybody ?

Not keen on either but MLIR is the better side IMO.

Yep, you do have to wonder sometimes who exactly is bidding for some of those records that appear in the auction.

I disagree. Think it would have made the grade anytime in last 45 years. Reminds me somewhat of that Earnestine Eady on Phil L A except this cut has more of a tune/melody and nice female and male backing vocals.

You should get a discount for bulk !

Yes I have noticed his feedback on eBay and have been put off a couple of album purchases. I did get that mintish Barbara Mills on UK Hickory off him for $100 around 4 months back so I guess odd bargain or decent price does turn up.

To be fair his VG+ is more Ex to M- in my experience. He states that in his ads where he explains his grading.

Yes of course. Done my research and I have £7.3s. 6d available so won't be bidding. I was just struck that an "unknown Northern" on eBay is actually good for a change. Usually abysmal.

That's what I thought too. I've still not got the hang of programming the VCR.

Beyond my pay grade but did think somewhat Detroity but then kinda like Irma & Fascinators "You need love". Not got a clue.

Just now Danny Wagner demo at VG [but looks OK] for $1.50 US eBay Buy-it-Now.

Going off writer. Seems Charron worked with BJ Thomas.

Not great is it though I now realise that Chuck's version is a cover of B.J. Thomas which I didn't know before.

Different song
