has anyone heard these Milton Wright lps? i heard 'spaced' today because i was curious why it was 1500$ and it was so boring. i have so many dollar soul records that are better than this.

Was his records played by the later northern soul dj's? The guys who now write a lot of the liner notes for the kent soul comps? I like a little modern soul, but most of it sounds like bad philly knock-offs.
― JacobSanders, Friday, 16 September 2011 05:52 (twelve years ago) link
i guess one of his songs ended up on one of those strange games and funky things comps. and had that whole 'burned up in a factory fire, only a few survived' stories.
oh, i've heard this one (from the album before 'spaced')

Not sure about the £4.00 standard delivery charge here. For this kind of outlay I'd want it delivered to my door by a fucking unicorn.

Heh. Well, since a year or two eBay has made it difficult for a seller to put in more as standard delivery. That's why you mostly see the lowest shipping charges in the automated listing, but people in their description adding "soz shipping is way higher but ebay won't allow me to enter it lol".

i put "please contact me for shipping costs" pretty clearly in an auction for a book recently (i don't know generally how much books cost to send like i do for records). but the guy who won paypall-ed me immediately after winning the cost of the book and what ebay allowed me to put for shipping. it was a few bucks under for shipping. i told him this and he was like "can you just let it slide, bro" and i was kinda in a good mood and let it slide, but apparently i'm still bitter about it because i wasted 2 minutes to write about it on an internet forum.
― jaxon, Friday, 30 September 2011 00:55 (twelve years ago) link
aw :-)
This happens to me regularly and I can tell you, the "I'll let it slide bro"-feeling goes away pretty fast. It all adds up, too. So it makes for extra hassle getting back in touch to cough up the actual shipping costs. Most do pay up though.

― mark e, Friday, 30 September 2011 09:58 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, Italy has a bad rep for people going "hey where's my item?" and reclaiming off paypal/ebay.
This could be the buyer pulling a fast one, or the Ital postal service being bad/insecure, who knows.
― Mark G, Friday, 30 September 2011 10:06 (twelve years ago) link

What is this Alexander's store label she is focusing on? Is that really something notable?
― Evan, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 05:55 (twelve years ago) link

― hilare appendage (electricsound), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 05:57 (twelve years ago) link
That's all though? Just making sure there isn't some kind of rock history at "Alexander's" that collectors would get excited over.

From http://www.eskimo.com/~bpentium/beatles/intro/intro.html
Covers for the stereo issue that list Love Me Do and P. S. I Love You, among the two columns of tracks on the back, are almost always fakes. Only a couple of authentic copies of these versions are known to exist.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 10:25 (twelve years ago) link
Also, here is a very similar one (same shop pricetag) to prove it is definitely a fake.

Oh shit thats Joel! I just saw him yesterday at my store. He's a nice guy, always good at making room in our vinyl section by buying a good chunk of it. Comes in all the time. Though I just put in my two weeks notice so he's another regular I won't get to see as often, yet I foresee myself spending lots of time there as a customer again.

from the mps3 i heard -- sure, it's a good record. Not as good as any of the 4 Kyuss records. And i don't even like Kyuss that much.
One thousand bucks.

― only NWOFHM! is real (krakow), Friday, 13 July 2012 08:24 (eleven years ago) link
It's OK, if you can afford it. But what will you do with it once you have got it?
I get a bit dispirited when I've paid proper money for an LP which ends up getting 3 plays and going on the shelves with the rest. That seems to happen too often.
― Tim, Friday, 13 July 2012 08:33 (eleven years ago) link
(These days I have more fun scouring the cheap bins for £1 or £2 LPs which look unfamiliar. I'm just as likely to find something amazing that was as shelling out £££ for things other people seem to want. But that's hardly the point of this thread so feel free to ignore me.)
― Tim, Friday, 13 July 2012 08:37 (eleven years ago) link
I've never spent more than £25 on an LP but I could be persuaded to go to £50 if it was something REALLY AWESOME, but that's because I'm OK with just having things on CD (or even mp3) if they are hard to find on vinyl.
― The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Friday, 13 July 2012 13:01 (eleven years ago) link
