Johnnie Taylor - Friday Night - White Demo ?
This White demo on eBay has "Steal Away" on both sides. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Johnnie-Taylor-45-Steal-Away-Stax-STA-0068-White-Label-Promo-/271418315119?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item3f31cad16f I've never seen a White demo of Friday Night - but never been looking for one in particular. Great song. Kev Bod

Ebay Seller Harrassment
When I bought a record via eBay from this chap after what was a very aggresive set of messages, it arrived with his business card enclosed. As if he was expecting me to give him a call for a nice chat. I've had it on my notice board for 4 years so I never forget (as if you could). Remarkable attitude.

Pat Lewis Sold On Ebay
This person sold a copy of Yvonne Vernee which finished on 22nd March 2014 for $1,792. The name was slightly wrong on the eBay ad. (I didn't win that) and no feedback yet so hope all is ok for the buyer. cheers Kev Bod

This is on popsike from 2011 with similar description... https://www.popsike.com/Don-Gardner-Cheatin-Kind-on-Sedgrick-nothern-soul-nm/260812377756.html No feedback for the item in sellers profile from 2011 either positive or neg. The centre of the 2 records have a different background. Not sure what all that means (if anything !!) KB

Wigan 78 - It Was As Bad As This?
I didn't realise that both you and Mr Anka were that way inclined! Still each to their own Quote Mr C "I thought Harley Hatcher sounded great then, and I got a shag thanks to Paul Anka once........ "

My time was late '77 to early '81. Enjoyed ALL my visits for one reason or another. Usually some sort of adventure or incident going on! Where are Teddy Vann and James Coit anyway!!

Sorted Now, Thanks: - Kenny Gamble - Jokes On You
Fingers crossed, something will turn up. Strange, but it's one of those tunes that I thought was OK when it was first played, but wasn't at the top of my list. BUT over the years, I've found I like it more and more. It's only took me about 36 years to get round to making an effort to find one!!

Signed Eddie Parker - Love You Baby
Hi, I bought the boot/reissue with the staggered archer stamp in the 70's and still have it. Last year, there was an issue for sale on eBay from a seller of mixed styles of music who didn't post outside the USA. Boba (member on this site) kindly bid for me and posted the record over. It doesn't have the archer stamp, but I know what you mean about "feeling" kind of right!. The vinyl on the run in is nice and smooth but the archer stamped boot/reissue has a slight dimpled/uneven look. Last years copy has a bit of writing on it (a date) and a felt pen "X". I know this can be added to make things look "real" but the seller and person they got it from clearly had no interest in selling to the UK. I'm happy to accept that it as another re-issue but would not be suprised either way. All the best.

Jimmy Thomas On Uk Spark
Jimmy Thomas - No Trouble/Springtime - UK Spark. I bought this from "Blue Max" Millward's shop in the late 70's. It was in amongst his old collection that had been cherry picked and sifted many times. I bought it (about £1 or £2) in my search for "something different" . Basically, no-one else had wanted it after he sold up. Max told me that he'd played "No Trouble" at the Cats a few times. It's still in the cardboard cover with his writing on!! Anyway, it's never really struck me as anything special. Last year, I noticed a copy go through eBay for £150+!! I was suprised but put it down as an auction fluke. I watched another on eBay this week finish at about £135!! Also, it's appeared in the "wants" section on the site. It seems to be the "Springtime" side that gets the attention. Is/has this been getting plays? Is it more a "mod" record? Just interested as I wouldn't have thought it a 3 figure record - but I think everything should be much less .

Ad / Promos / Public Service Announcement Records
The only one I have is the Steve Karmen - Breakaway EP done for Pontiac Motors. 6 tracks. I think I've seen one on eBay a few times by Sidney Barnes promoting a Furniture Shop or something! I assume there'll be some Motown type stuff done Cheers Kev Bod

The Bootleg Of Hey Sah-Lo-Ney. Mickey Lee Lane What's The Story
Interesting that. JM put up a Youtube entry on the Itzy label. When I saw it, I assumed that Itzy must be pre-swan. Is this one of the few entries of his of a re-issue https://youtu.be/B72ff0aNt2E

John Manship Auction Results 18-12-2013
Ted, I don't think the winning bid has to be topped to extend the time. I think that the new bid, even if it doesn't exceed the leaders max, triggers the extended "thinking time". This means that someone who has not bid enough has chance to re-think and bid more. Hence, the "auction fever" has time to take hold! I like the JM auctions as it means you are not subject to "snipes". Also, I don't think there is an easy "bid retraction". You either just dump in your max bid any time before (Days or weeks) like with ebay and let things take there course, or get involved at the end. Ebay with the "snipes" in effect becomes a "sealed bids" type effort. Kev Bod.
