Ambassadors Boot On Ebay £56
By the time he'd replied to you I'd already told him it was a boot, so no excuse for pleading ignorance. What a tosser! - Kev

Ambassadors Boot On Ebay £56
Reported a few on ebay - mostly those that seem to set up a label and have a cottage industry going. Nothing happened as far as I know. Even seen one openly listed as a boot and it wasn't cancelled. Ebay might have rules but they seldom enforce them, particularly when it's not to their advantage. - Kev

Ambassadors Boot On Ebay £56
Now at £62 Well here's my 'acting the innocent' question, the reply and a response: Great tune - thanks for the soundclip. How would you describe this - original? 2nd issue? bootleg? As it had a decent start price I was hoping it might be an original. - Kev I am not an authority on this particular 45 I am afraid. I can say it came out of a collection not seen the light of day in over 35 years and one identical sold for $108.60 on Feb 15th according to an old listing. Hmmm, but you know it's a 'huge oldie' and you've been selling soul vinyl for 40yrs? It's a bootleg so you must be hoping to have someone over by not alluding to that and by refusing to acknowledge it when questioned. - Kev I don't expect to see the question retained on his listing though. Then again, it's not a huge price so maybe the bidders know what it is and have more money than sense. Stranger things have happened. For £60 profit I might try and locate my boot copy. - Kev

Same as mine. Think it's from Belgium and the Omega copy is the first release. - Kev

Thunderbird Sound - Heaven & Earth
Nice, but I've heard instrumentals which I prefer - or which are more dance orientated. Used to sometimes play this early doors, before the official start time and while finalising the room set up and greeting early-birds. - Kev https://youtu.be/oggUQAWjdyE

I was channel hopping and caught the last 15 minutes.Didn't realise it was SignZone - I thought some enterprising person had put together a hand-jive dance tutorial for the new wave of soulies. - Kev

Paypal Cracking Down On Gift Option
And that's the way I do it as a buyer Pete. If someone is a mate or a seller that I use regularly, then I may well choose to make a gift payment as a 'thankyou'. Thing is now, I wouldn't know if they're being scrutinised by paypal and I might be giving them grief (probably not - but it could happen). - Kev.

Paypal Cracking Down On Gift Option
If you ask the buyer to include the paypal % then some bright spark is gonna think to make a gift payment to avoid the extra. Just include all your costs in the price. - Kev

Paypal Cracking Down On Gift Option
I've mentioned it a couple of times over the years and it's one of those posts that tends to get ignored usually. Think my last and recent post was something like: Requesting or making a GIFT payment when it's not for a gift but is for goods and/or services is against Paypal/Ebay rules and this misuse can cause you to have the whole paypal facility made unavailable to you. It's buried somewhere in their Terms & Conditions, and apparently they actively seek out those abusing the process. I know many people use/expect to be gifted all the time and have flown under the radar for years and never had a problem. This instance is the first I've heard of someone on here getting caught out. The choice is yours, but it galls me when sellers practically demand a gift payment. - Kev

Uptempo Female Songs
OK, just a thought - what about some upbeat early Motown. Plenty of music books and downloads (some FREE - www.sheetmusic.cc ) I think you may struggle with sheet music for lesser known stuff. - Kev

Would you like us to come and sing it for you too? Maybe your friend should go for a different genre of music. - Kev

Poll: Bbc Culture Show - Northern Soul - Your Take ?
Spot on Mark IMO. I've worn baggies because they're not restrictive. Then I wore them because they shrouded my inadequate footwork. Now I don't wear them, but only 'cos I've aged into a right sh!t dancer. And re the "Bruce Lee" comment made on the programme - I don't think Fran paid full attention to the question before replying as the dancing of course didn't come from Martial Arts. However, with Kung Fu and Karate being so popular at the time it possibly had influence on the ability of quite a few dancers, so I think I know where she's coming from. Whenever I tried on a new pair of parallels or baggies - if I couldn't do a good jodan-mae-geri in a cramped changing cubicle then they were to tight and i wouldn't buy 'em. Enjoyed the programme more than I thought I would and looking forward to Elaine's film a whole lot more than previously. I'd only seen a brief taster before and thought it was a bit corny. My faith has been renewed. - Kev
