Look At Your Box...... Soul Swop Shop
I'm sort of thinking along the same lines as Bob. Are you talking about a CD swap, but one that's wider musically than the recent Sweet/Deep swap from a couple of months ago?

News: Carla Thomas - (Artist Of The Week)
Her Hidden Gems CD from the early 90's was packed with crackers and all previously un-released and just shows that the quality of the rest of her Stax output was top notch. My fave's on this apart from I'll Never Stop Loving You are: My Man Believes In Me, It |Ain't An Easy Thing, Good Man & Goodbye My Love.

Lost Records In The Post - Who Does The Claim For The Lost Package
It was just a general enquiry really. In the last 25 years I've only had 2 packages lost, both in 2010 (one from France and one from the US) and I've claimed via paypal.

Lost Records In The Post - Who Does The Claim For The Lost Package
This has probably already been done, but couldnt find a specific thread. If you buy a record and you pay via paypal or not, but dont recieve it. Someone has to make a claim on the post office, so who does it, the buyer or the seller?

Charlie 'cole Black' Brown - I Got Your Love/i Just Can't Get Over You - Jewel
The advantage of this one compared to the original is that this is a vinyl press, whereas the original is styrene. So less chance of it getting needle burn when played more than twice.

'bella Mia' By Maxine Brown
It was her last release on Avco Embassy and I don't think that stuff has ben put on a compliation. The single should be easily picked up for a few quid and it also got a release in the UK

The New 'kent Select' 45 By Darrow Fletcher Out Now
So this is the 3rd version that popped up on acetate on ebay about 18 months ago? Grey & Hanks must have really touted this around at the time are there any more versions knocking around? Must be from the Atlantic/Atco sessions knowing that the others are from 1978ish

Sorry, but to me this sounds nothing like a Motown record, its pure Muscle Shoals all the way...

Paranoid Usa Dealer
One US seller I dealt with wouldn't do a combined postage for 2 recortds I bought. I accepted his postage costs but disagreed with him not combining postage. I told him that for the price I paid, I would expect it express delivery and signed for. It came express delivery and give or take a couple of dollars it was the postage he requested. You might have to bite the bullet and pay the postage and if the postage cost is more than a couple of dollars less than the stamp, put in a claim for over charging postage.

Yum Yums Stocker Up For Grabs
There are many many reasons why these issues are rare and have been discussed in the rare demo or rare issues threads. Contract or distribution problems, artists dying or leaving the group. A lot of southern soul records suffered from terrible promotion and distribution issues.
