Have just looked this info up on RM site, Records (vinyl discs) Place between thick card and surround with cushioning material at least 2.5cm longer than the item. Wrap in strong paper, seal with tape and clearly mark package RECORDS - DO NOT BEND. https://www.royalmail.com/personal/help-and-support/A-Z-guide-on-wrapping-and-packaging

Agreed..put one up for sale just a couple of weeks ago for two thirds of that and had no interest... but then I aint Mr Smith, probs he'd have better luck.

Yeah,that's all right that,,,do you need a few 45 sleeves? I'm sure I got some knocking around here somewhere

Unfortunately..for most of the paying public..Nothings changed!

Hiya Sooty - it's Wendy Maxwell (as was) on John's account - how are you doing? Be nice to catch up with you soon :-) x

It is now, just like every f***ing thing else ,,,grrrr it's killing it

All sounds good to me if needed...But do you guarantee not to play em while in your possesion? I know I couldn't resist it?

Shame they never picked up the other Mir-a-don stuff for release.. Did the Royal Premiers come out on a local label first?

FIRE nah,seriously,,Bob's the man to ask if he'll divulge his secrets

Maybe,, with out checking, I'm sure Manny's bible has two entries, one with and one without the artist credit..... if that proves anything

Deffo came out wth artist credits too,one on ebay now https://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-ASCOTS-Mir-A-Don-MD-1000-MISS-HEARTBREAKER-THIS-OLD-HEARTACHE-Listen-/360612364372?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item53f62c0054

I bought a record not long ago,don't think it came to more than $10 it was an LP so shipping was about $14, the seller used the GLOBAL thing and on checkout i was charged everything INCLUDING import/vat or whatever, Surely that shouldnt even been applicable on a 10 buck record? I had to pay,there seemed no way round it. I won't buy off anyone using that service now. I felt robbed.

Does this actually exist on WAND??

Also on Raven,,yellow label

I was both Dave and BOO to freakbook!! Hope ya well mate,will have to catch up soon.

That St Neots alldayer? the other month,you were there weren't you? Think they ran out of lager by 10 I was horrified

Thanks for the pos comments Toby/Steve/Willie/Kev. I had a great time on one of my very rare visits to the decks... Small taster of tunes I spun.. Sean taylor-Never do I worry-Magic Touch Inconquerables-For your love-Flodaveiur Devotions-Do do de dop-Nation Young Bros-Whats your game-Soul Power Beverly Taylor-Sweeter than sugar-Gaye Marissa gatti-Love's what you want-Poopan Soul bros six on Lyndell..............and loads more,cheers

Just being picky..it wasn't the Funk Brothers tho was it? pure west coast recording.. Loved it when I first heard it and I'll stand by that. Agreed though,if ever a record's ever been played to death and then some,This is it..yawn.

You are very much missed Tony Mind you, don't go out meself much now days.

A fiver??

Funny.. I've had that in my watching list for,must be at least 6 months and now its just sold.It was originally started at $999.....I think. The power of soul-source eh?

And thats exactly what we're talking about. Anyway..doom and gloom over..we all gotta do,what keeps us going and long may it last

Well I have just turned 43 myself and my collecting is slowing right down..as I can see the same future that Pete is describing i'm not gonna keep paying sky high prices, I presume,when you were 35-40,every one else was too. Thats not been the case for me obviously.

Yeah I can get that,,and thinking about it I don't think I fall in either category. Not really.
