Merged the post in Soul/Video section with this in Freebasing as same topic. Then as R&B moved to AATS Hope not too confusing. ROD

Is it us who are out of step ? Too anal ? Expect too much ? I watched 20-25 minutes. Like window cleaners explaining nuclear fission. ROD

I watched a little bit. Tyrone Davis did well. ROD

Car boot 45s with Waitrose prices in some instances. I guess it's down to free listings in some instances. ROD

Its now in LAYB Kev. I have actually only lost one topic in an attempt to interfere or as I like to call it "moderate" I did watch it with some trepidation as members posted their comments or as I like to call it "state the bleedin' obvious" It has however now took on a more interesting life of it's own so I moved it. ROD

Split this off from Shute's original want. Seems to be going elsewhere. ROD

No,not noticed really. Lovely time at Paul's do. Wannabe dj's ? Everywhere aren't they ? Rip-offs need to be stamped out if running a bogus charity night. ROD

You cant sell common 45s if they're being hawked at uncommon prices. ROD

No need to keep re-posting this ad. Just add a post saying "Still looking" or similar and it will go back to the top. Not too often though. Leave it a week and if no joy.... ROD [Forum Moderator]

Fancy putting a 45 out and not getting the name right. That's offal. ROD

Im wondering whether this might be a good thing. We all know that guys buy off Ebay to re-sell so if its a cheaper end item and it gets passed by, those who actually want the 45 may have a better chance of getting it. ROD

I did notice that and also concluded that this is same copy that was offered to Shaunfitz yesterday. Its little wonder that sometimes people dont respond to offers, although in this case Shaun obv did for the seller to post it up today. Of course up to seller to set his price. ROD

Last lot of wants I posted were IMO pretty common cheapish 45s. I got one [thank you Kegsy] but nowt on the rest apart from another offered at twice the value which I declined. I think it would be rather illuminating to post a want and then publish the prices that people asked. ROD

Deep breath. Relax. Again. Im afraid there's nowt I can do about it. I cannot alter behaviour. You can however leave feedback along lines of "Answered post and got no reply". After a suitable interval obviously. Lets say they are weighing up options from offers. 7 days and no reply leave a negative. And the correct way to answer any offers is included in the Wants guidelines. ROD

It has a certain charm. On 45 I think. Verve Folkways maybe. ROD PS Forecast more likely

I think its Richie Havens.

Tony, You dont have to post a new topic for same wants. Just add another post on original topic [like "Still Looking" ] and it will go to the top of P 1 again. Not too often though. That would be bumping. Once a week if no luck. Thanks ROD [Forum Moderator]

I think Sebastian dark brown may be more apt but as I said I was diagnosed as colour blind. I've been holding label against black items in my flat and it doesn't appear to match. However I have noticed that on your scan of boot and my boot here if you look at darker part of label the lines are not as well defined and esp third line from right which has a break in it. Shows that on your boot scan and my boot so I guess its same for all. If you look at original lines are continuous. ROD

My expeience of ATB events in the NW Nev is that its a mixture of the very popular [if dj's have them] records across the genres. So not too many different 45s and less emphasis on newies which is down to availibility. ROD

PM is in the ether. ROD

I noticed this had gone recently for £1250 on Ebay https://www.ebay.co.u...cvip=true&rt=nc Thought I'd put this up for offers £1000 ONO. I'd say from description on Ebay this is a better copy. VG+ with some marks on vinyl BUT no scratches. I will take first offer I like and am quite happy to send it upfront within UK so that prospective buyer can see it before parting with their cash.

Hey, I just removed a post in Wants section. Barry and Jocko just stick to argument and try not to personalise it too much. It doesn't make you misguided,deluded or a "bad person" just because you have opposing viewpoints. ROD [Forum Moderator]

Actually Steve it was my mate who bought it. He's just dumped it here along with his record collection. He got it from a mutual mate and all three of us kinda concur it could be the boot. Im not sure what green/black copies are. This looks brown to me but then I did fail some kinda green/red test at school after which I think they said I was colour blind. Im not sure about that either. I can tell the difference between a strawberry and a lawn ! I dont know if when 45s were put out in Stereo it said that on actual label as well as runout groove. I do have odd 45 that says Stereo on label [like Patti Austin "....Word" and Billups on Helpp] but have no idea if that means most 45s were done in mono. What I mean if Stereo in grooves,how come it doesn't say that on label as well. Boba may know more about that kinda thing. Unfortunately topic is locked now so you cant reply unless Billy unlocks. I just abused my position as Sales mod to get the last word in. Im still confused. ROD

Good music is the way. There did seem to be more of it back then but it still turns up now. Just gotta keep to a standard. ROD

Yes Steve,it seems to be green/brown. Label credit layout appears to be same. As Pikey said a very good facsimilie but no STEREO and no AR. ROD
