OST, Mono, second hand

*dirol*

edit: described by the seller as a NM copy. What a lie that turned out to be. A dirty, deeply scratched copy of the Stereo mix, and not a NM copy of the Mono recording.

eBay?

They'll refund you including return postage.
I have both Mono and Stereo copies of that, but neither are that great, but they were only Car Boot/Charity Shop purchases.

If I get no response from the seller in 4 days, I'll be opening a PayPal dispute. If I do hear from them, I'll be asking for a full refund.

It obviously depends on the seller, but the few records I've bought on eBay that weren't as described were all refunded in full, and I was able to keep the record. Makes sense from the sellers point of view, because if they have to pay £4 or so to get the record back and it's not worth £4, then they're even worse off.

Finished work a bit earlier than normal today, so popped round a few Charity Shops and got......

Teddy Pendergrass - Ready For Teddy (£1)

Au Pairs - Playing With A Different Sex (£1)

Anthrax - State Of Euphoria (£1)

League Unlimited Orchestra - Love And Dancing (£1)

Go-Betweens - 16 Lovers Lane (£1)

I wouldn't describe any of them as mint, but I think they'll all be playable once cleaned. I'm particularly happy with Go-Betweens album.

I did see an amazing record of some kind of Muhammad Ali film soundtrack called 'The Greatest'. I was so keen to buy it, but when I opened it up to check the condition of the record, it looked like mice had been ice skating on it for a couple of years non-stop, so as much as I wanted it, it had to be a no.

Edit:

Forgot to mention I also bought a Dual 1224 turntable in excellent condition, with orignal manual, for a tenner.

I waited 2 years on discogs for a copy of the Lemon Jelly LP KY for less than £100. Low and behold I'm browsing when a UK seller lists a mint one for £35.........It arrives today :D:D:D

I bought this a couple of months ago, and I like it a *lot*. It's also an excellent pressing, in spite of being on coloured vinyl.

I remember you buying it and saying it was good. I've heard the new single quite often, and really like it, so I'm looking forward to playing the whole album.
