Does Art Blakey of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers count

Is anyone Garland Green's friend on facebook, as you could try and ask him?

I know of three label variations of the Gamma release. White Demo with writing credits as Shelley Fisher, time of 2:35 Blue Issue with writing credits as Fisher, time of 2:35 Blue Issue with writing credits as Fisher, time of 2:05

Paul, If its the Dan Penn release your talking about, I believe its the November release so probably hitting your doormat today. I think Uptight Good Woman is a fantastic version and should be in every household.

And here is where I think the rub is.... Of the £11.69 charge. £3.69 has to be claimed back from HMRC by filling out this form. Customs+Duty+and_or+import+VAT1.pdf And then you have to contact Royal Mail to argue about the £8 handling charge. More trouble than its worth, I feel.

So they've even though its marked as a gift and below the £40 value celing, they have deemed it to have come from a commercial transaction and therefore charged me VAT. What a bugger........

I'd like a bit of help here. I've just had delivered the record I had to pay duty on and I wasnt charged duty at all, I was just charged VAT, but on what? It's marked as a gift and has a value of $30. According to this notice and HMRC's web site "Imported gifts valued over £40 sent between private individuals will also attract VAT", but its below the threshold or does HMRC believe US Dollars are worth more than Sterling...

or Tyree Davis for a ton..

For the first time, I bit the bullet and bought one. There are missing items where demos are included, but the harder to obtain issues, which sell for more aren’t. There are IMO both over priced & under priced records included in its pages. I think it’s an okay read, maybe the inclusion of more information such as matrix numbers would increase its value to me (not really bothered about pictures). I don’t think I’d buy one again. I do think it’s an ideal book to place in the downstairs toilet, to while away the time.

There's a link on EMS, I've downloaded it but havent listened. Sean, is there any chance of a playlist, please?

I think that by not combining postage on multiple purchases and pay for them to be sent individually would stop some of the custom charges; it would have been cheaper for me to have had the two records sent to me individually than pay the customs charge

I've just been charged £3.69 import duty and on top of that an £8.00 admin fee by Royal Mail

If there was nothing in life to strive for, our existence would be futile. Cue Steve Plumb reminding us of his "issue copy". I do hate you all………..

Now I was waiting for the Aussie issue to pop up to make us all jealous

Bill Brandon's version of "Special Occasion" is great too. Well it is a Sam Dees song

It’s from Panama, also is the artist definitely Ernie King as its him on lead vocal or is it the group Los Fabulosos Festivals

Lets see what happens once Manships new price guide hits the streets.

What ones that, thought she only released 2 singles which were on Phil-LA-of Soul?

I think an electronic version would be very innovative, but could you get a way with charging people £30 for access to a web based database?

Are you after specific ones or dates as I know these three had various designs over the years

Steve, No Syl Johnson, now that surprises me.

it was orignially the flip of You're Looking Good on Utopia so released a couple of years before the Verve release.

Didn't think you were allowed to include re-issues

Thought Otis Scott was the only Tasco release, were there more? Other than it being a White Cliffs publishing, I was under the impression that this was a one off type deal for him
