I had a record delivered damaged that had come from the US via the Global Shipping Program - the packaging was also damaged so it looked to be the fault of the carrier rather than the seller. After sending photos to Ebay and the seller, the seller refunded me the money he had received with out any problems but getting Ebay to refund the costs relating to the shipping program was a real pain. They eventually did, stating it was a gesture of goodwill - I just sent them a rely saying goodwill doesn't come in to it - if they are charging for a service they are 100% responsible.

I guess that Escorts 45 is the one you bought off me through Discogs The one you told me jumped in several places and so I thoughtfully refunded you for the record and postage and let you keep the record

I'm surprised no one has done a compilation CD with his ABC album tracks, Loving You Needing You, Watch Where You're Going, his Philips & Blue Rock stuff and the Harold Hutton tune on Checker

If it has a flat edge to the vinyl it's the bootleg - the edge on the original is sharp That's for a promo - the issues are original

You're right - it was a monster sound all over and not purely Cleethorpes I'd disregard the comments being political though - just John being over enthusiastic with his sales hype

John Manship was one of the residents at Cleethorpes which obviously is why he refers to it so much Hardly a venue no one talked about though - in the mid 70's the three main places were Wigan, Cleethorpes and Blackpool I know there were lots of other great venues but these were the ones that were consistently breaking new sounds

Your ears are on the wrong way round Bazza

Original is vinyl - repress is styrene

I enjoyed it although it was easier to relate to if you were part of it in the 70's One thing they got wrong though - the floor in the toilets was far too clean and dry
