Thanks for the info, wonder what the reasoning was behind the record catalogue number ? Why go to all the trouble and then put the wrong number on the label. Certainly will fool lots of people.

The original of this goes anywhere from crazy to well mental prices, £500 is not unthinkable, why is then that a sort of re-issue struggles to get £25.00? Is that re-issue legit? it certainly looks like it is.

Can't comment on its rarity but expensive it is not, you have been able to buy them on UK Atlantic for about £40 - 60, some even quite recently. Our scene is being overtaken by aliens I'm sure.

I almost exclusively sell on Ebay, don't ask me why but I get much higher prices than selling via other mediums. All the "biggies" seem to get above market prices just be careful about record grading be conservative. My advice would be sell only the well known biggies and the very rare stuff, be aware there are of course no guarantees so you could end up with a low-ish end price. Good luck.

You should get one for about £500 just depends on how patient you are.

Watching that Chubby Chrecker go for over £1000 probably tells us it hasn't kicked in yet.

The thickest I have are Canadian releases on Quality, REO, etc. Think the thinnest would be UK TMG ?

You'll find they're very fast in shipping.

A mate of mine is looking for a cheap copy of "Love is here and now you're gone" VG+ or better. Anyone help ? Thanks

Yes it is, matrix number puts it's release as 1965, well done.

Nearly as crazy as she is.................

Better than the Showmen, expect £30 - 45 for mint demo.

Under Thatcher is peaked to over $2.00 to the UK pound.

I always do it's well worth it.

With the UK£ still dropping don't be surprised at a £1.00 = $1.00 exchange rate some time soon, can't believe sales won't be affected if that happens.

Sales tax on the original sale in the US was paid when 1st purchased. The US seller does not have any option to send free of tax so in effect you end up paying tax twice and that was never the purpose. If you buy a new item in say Australia for shipment to the UK then the sale price will be free of any taxes, of course that gets paid by the importer upon arrival so tax is only paid once. How about this, you buy in the US at say $500.00 ask seller to send to a friend within the US, no sales tax paid. Your friend then sends it/them to you, there's no sale from him/her to you so value is only a nominal amount (for a 2nd hand item) it's gets a value of $25.00 you pay no tax (here in Belgium anyway). The EEU policy (yes folks you're still in it) is that tax is only paid once so you may be technically breaking but not in spirit. Well, that's what I tell myself anyway. Lastly I once (and only once) bought a gaggle of expensive records out of a basement from an estate UK sales value about $4.000 (3 copies of the Trends:-) I paid about $400.00 for some 200 records what do you do, declare the $4000 or $400 ? If you say 400 then that could be construed as fraud.

We were there at that time but I don't remember them, it's possible.

Did you tell the world at the time it was a made to measure ?

"Can't get away" "My little girl" & "try a little harder" all played at the Torch & Catacombs, don't think they were played at Wheel though, Julien would be better placed to comment.

It's so recent that buyers have yet to realise the consequencies, once they start getting their Visa card bills that could change.
