Thanks for that - I think I've seen the percentages of bids etc.before - I just didn't realise you could extract the exact name from the figures, i thought it was still hidden. Cheers Mick

I know as a seller you can see the full ID names of the bidding history against your item. I was wondering as a buyer, how a winning bidder actually knew the IDs of any of the other bidders - all the views I ever use when bidding only show myself and other hidden names like a***f (123) etc. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

I've only just realised that the record was released on both Cameo and Parkway - must have seen loads of both in my time, but it just never clicked until now. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

The scan above was my old copy - at least it looks like it - here's the old posike / ebay listing from 2004 .. https://www.popsike.c...4007737692.html I bought this from Sam many years before - It was definately a genuine 1967 release - there was a label tear on one side, with the same dark red colour showing through, just like Decca labels from that period, albeit they would be blue. Cheers Mick

I know you can cancel transactions for quite a few reasons, including the item being counterfeit, but can you cancel a transaction before you have paid for it? I get the impression that is the case here - Diggin' Dave hasn't actually paid out money yes, but is being treatened with a nonpaying strike (or whatever they call it) if he doesn't go through with the deal Cheers Mick

Jon Ford - he did an Ok sort of version of "You got Me Where You Want Me" Cheers Mick

It did a bit in the early eighties. It's not the Professionals though, apparently it's another take by Steve Mancha, just pressed up as a filler for "That's Why" Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Pete Ted Massey was trying to find out about one of these in January - maybe he can shed some light. Cheers Mick

Phil Might be just a coincidence of course, but on listening to the intro of the eBay item, the intro is chopped off. To me this sounds like the IDENTICAL recording that was posted on here last year (ish) - so I don't think it is done directly from a 45, more like a DJ spot / mix with the talking / previous record fade cut off. Cheers Mick

Wasn't that the "tonge-in-cheek" version made by AVI as a reprisal for Simon Sousan booting James Bounty, which was owned by AVI ? Cheers Mick

Finishing tonight (Sunday)

Thanks Ken, I will see you there Mick

Updated

Just checked the source and they (funkadelphia) say they now have "less than ten copies left" - also price has risen from $5 to $15 Cheers Mick

Mike, It is on the net live at ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlive/bbc_wm/ Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Well, it's hard to comprehend the events of the last 36 hours (less than 24 for myself as I only heard of his fate yesterday) I've known Max since I was a teenager in the late mid 70's, although I've known him very well over the last 15 years. I'm still expecting a phone call or email telling me he'll pick me up to go fishing in the morning - just like the one I had Thursday before last. --- Mick - Fancy fishing in the morning - pick you up about 9 // Sorry mate, I'm off to Wales in the morning, can't make it // No probs, we'll go next week instead // Fine Max, see you at the Great Western next Sunday and we'll take it from there // I'm still stunned, and feel sick to the stomach. I'll miss him very much. - I already do. Mick Holdsworth

I am thinking about you Max - Please get well soon Mick holdsworth

Still after this - Joe Pirolli - Oh Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, - if anyone can help Thanks Mick Holdsworth

I remember years ago finding some promising info regarding Margaret Little, just never managed to follow up on it - If Margaret has a granddaughter called Sharima (now about 36/37), I may have a little more to add. If, however this is not the same lady, as I suspected, then ..... Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Mine's the same - however there are copies where the end is fine, but half a minute in the middle was buggered - so it's swings and roundabouts. There is a recording in Refosoul with the middle bit cut out and the end is fine (click my last played). Cheers Mick Holdsworth

That's great, thanks for those, paup-ine. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

No, but you get charged a commission for any sales you make. Cheers Mick Holdsworth

Suppose the refosoul posting and searching method could be used - everyting the same but instead of mp3s, it's optional jpgs we would upload. - sort of a RefoSale. As to notifications, maybe something similar to the PM's we use. It sounds like a good idea, but as pikeys dog says, it's a brand new section to maintain, and Mike has enough on his plate with the many aspects of the site as it now. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Can anyone post up a 300 dpi scan of Marvin Holmes YBKH - actually it's just the logo I want, so anything on Brown Door would be OK. - thought I'd got one, but alas no .. Thanks Mick Holdsworth https://northernsoulrecords.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Thanks Grant, I'd checked that out already - Don't know how complete the discog is, but it does say it is no longer updated. Thanks Martyn - Can't say I've actually heard it, so I don't think it was Michael Boulton - it's just a record I've seen in years gone by. I might be wrong on this, but I'm sure the one side was "If you won't, I will" (Yes, this is also the other side to "God Knows", so maybe it was issued twice), but backed with something else.
