If you're selling a few things maybe this is a useful thing to buy? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0093OCE1C/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=569136327&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B003275MF6&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=11R0X4F6CCFCYW2MMBQ0

Nice to see the shreddies are "original" rather than recent a release or bootleg, there are also some rare European releases too.

Relate (the marriage guidance councillors): Don Covay - Somebody’s Been Enjoying My Home

First time I've listened Dave, great shows, so are now backfilling. "Forgiveness", was one of my Favourite tracks from last year

According to the Cosimo Code website its 1964 https://cosimocode.com/1964.html

I've always thought this was a fantastic tune and wondered how someone could fit it in to any spot other than a slower/left field early doors set. Another record I think is in the same vain is Walter Wolfman Washington - You Got Me Worried on Hep'Me another top tune IMVHO

There is another variant of the issue, with the title at the top of the label

Which is a great piece of soul and from a musicality perspective the better side.

It was on the Gritty, Groovy & Gettin' It LP

If it’s from cannedmusic2011, it’s an original, they found a haul of "rare" records a while back. For supposedly a rare record there are three different pressing of the “issue”. One is vinyl dark red label with black Truth logo. The other two are styrene (I believe) on a red label with the Truth logo in white with red text and one of them has the time of the intro.

I'm also not convinced it will go to a soul collector either, there are some fanatical UK London collectors out there.

There was a bit about him and Bill Haney in Voices a while back, but I would have thought the guys at ACE would have some info after their 2 great Bill Haney CD's

20% VaT + £8 carrier handling fee for paying the VaT/Import duty on your behalf

It came out a couple of years ago, thought it was about a fiver, unless its one of these limit release things that have hit the roof pricewise.

This came out in 1976 as the b-side of Doing It Rite On Time. You see a lot of single sided demo's of Doing It Rite On Time and the issues although not expensive don't turn up as often as you would expect. Yet another example of the dreded S/S demo's

Sounds about right. Convert the dollars to sterling at say 1.61, then take 20% of that for VAT which comes to about £248. Add around £8 the carrier charges for paying this to HMRC on your behalf and you get around £256

A played out oldie then?

As Neil said earlier, these were quite cheap as bulk buys and a lot of London record shops had multiple stock and were selling them individually from between 50p and £1

Thought it was, will have a check. Its in storage, so will be at the wekend

I think my US demo's vinyl and my US issue's styrene. Are these Jamaican issues vinyl or styrene?

get both

He still does have some hiccups, but most of the time he's spot on. I bought a record from him a few years ago, it was marked as VG+ and the picture and sound clip were both really clean. When the record arrived the label was marked and there were lots of marks on the wax that affected play. Contacted them, they apologised and offered me a full refund or replacement. As they admitted that it was their error on the grading, they refunded my return postage, which I think was fair. Sadly that’s not the case with a lot, but not all record sellers.

Regarding Wilson Love I think Moerer has some and the ebay seller cannedmusic2011 had/has multiple stock as well as others such as Sandra Wright Midnight Affair. They were selling it as low as around £100, but it looks like as their stock is drying up so they've been incresing the price. They've got mint copies of Wilson Love for a buy it now for $250. Irrespective of JM's reputation, cannedmusic2011 is a long standing highly rated seller, so why would someone spend £386 on a record when you can get it for around £160 + import duty - Sheer madness

But it's the second pressing if it, which I thought was about a ton
