Pete All these couriers (integrators) use a signed for system, that way you can not only see yourself when it was delivered but who signed for it.

These are pretty good to. https://www.interlinkdirect.co.uk/european-parcel-delivery.jsp

There's a company called DPD https://www.dpd.com/ or https://www.interlinkdirect.co.uk/online_sales/initialise.action They're low cost, you can track & trace on the internet too.

Nice choon. That story I got told came from one of Tony Jebbs Blackpool co-DJs.

Of course Ebay don't generally set the charges for postage (I know they do in some cases, DVDs) you really count on the common sense and honesty of the seller. I have had some sellers re-imburse shipping costs without being prompted and generally it works out OK, got a good one this morning. I want to buy a non record item where the shipping charge is £1.99 for 1, I asked what the combined cost would be for 2, reply came back £4.97.

True Pete, seen a VG+ at $20.00 but when you add postage.............................

I want to buy the the album of the same name. I have found a mint stereo, the guy wants £35.00 for, does that sound about right ?

WOW !! So it's not just a rumour then ? The UK TMG 877 got released in the UK in October 1973 so the Dutch version pre-dates that. Well done and thanks everybody..................

I guess with vast volume of transactions that take place we should count ourselves lucky that the majority does go well. I have recently won a record for £109.00 that the previous seller of same item had a reserve of £300 on it (and it sold)

Old Torch/Mecca choon.................

A long, long time ago in field far away (Blackpool ;-) I got told that "Tell me it is just a rumour" was released as a single - can't remember if it was Israel or India. Yes I know it got released in the 70s by TMG but this release was mid-sixties. Fact or legend ? When you check out Israeli and/or Indian TM releases there are a few off the wall singles, so why not this 100 mph scorcher ?

Sorted....................

Very sad, someone once wrote what records he should buy that Carl Davis had worked on, the reply was "all of them".

The blonde is Shirley Brickley so I have to guess the other is Marlena Davis. You're up early today Dave. BTW been looking at the temperatures in Andalusia, barely above 30c°, you poor dear, should I send some blankets

I met him what a geyser, boy did he ever have some stories to tell........................

Middle one is Rosetta Hightower, the bloke you know Steve Caldwell

Thanks............

A pal of mine is looking for some US Sam Cooke Keen EP & LPs. I've given the sites I know anybody know of some sites ? Something like Gemm ? Many thanks Chris

Whoops ! there goes another rubber tree plant................... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Little-Richard-Get-Down-With-It-/120965346551?pt=UK_Records&hash=item1c2a18b4f7#ht_760wt_1139

Thanks here's what I have. Believe or not this was put though my letterbox last night, not sure who did it but I have a good idea. Has to be a boot, looks too new and shiny vynny.....................

Hi, how do you tell the difference between original and the boot ? Here's a pic of the boot (well I think it is)

Both Tari's (False Alarm) & Christine's (Heartaches) singles were written by Trimachi & Cordell, both Super K productions. Richie Cordell died n 2004 but Sal Trimachi is alive and well. I've just sent him a message seeing if he can help. If not hopefully he's have notes, photos, etc.

Except Christine's a million time better..........

I have it on a video I got off Pete Smith, I think it was Hullabaloo. She sings "SOS" wearing that sailors suit...........corr......
