Brad

Lost Grooves is in the house! Thanks Paul. BTW, this cd has the alt take of Brother Soul from Lou's Say it Loud cd just re-issued by Water which I don't think is on the Water reissue. So greater still.

I just got this for around $60 (including shipping) on ebay. The price seems odd because there's a lot of them at cheap prices but what the hell.

I recently was able to get a copy of this and while not as good as the 2 Uptown LPs, definitely worth it and an important addition. BTW in a discussion of the Bee Hive Discography on page 4 of that thread, Chuck said the following about the reissue of the Dameronia lps: "Yup, the PJJ Dameronias will eventually be reissued but the material needs to be remixed from the session tapes and some other issues have popped up (not legal) to delay the project. I suggested the reissue of Social Call when it became obvious the Dameronia stuff was delayed."

I love those names Ray, maybe they're made up.

Everyday, but especially today

I'm sure the depth of that comment is as a result of your new avatar Seriously, I think why UMG caved in is from an email I sent them yesterday asking why Weizen was getting his and why I was not and if I was not getting it, where's my damn refund and that I had reported them to ebay. My guess is that they finally decided $99 was better than nothing.

Damn right. Last time I give these suckers my money.

Today is Lockjaw's birthday. So let's do some Lockjaw listening today.

This sorry saga has finally reched its conclusion, thank god (one of the few things to go well this week and now we can relegate this thread to the dustbin of history): Dear Bradford, We wanted you to know that your recent UMS order (#515247) was shipped on 2005-03-01. You should receive your package(s) in 1 - 3 weeks, unless you upgraded to an expedited shipping method during checkout (Your carrier is listed below under Shipping Details).

I understand and share your concern in this matter, as it can be quite frustrating when your seller refuses to sell you an item you won fairly. I have thoroughly investigated your concern regarding your seller refusing to complet the transaction, and empathize with your frustration in this matter. Please be assured, if a violation of eBay policy has occurred, we will take the appropriate action in accordance with our site policies. Such action may include issuing a warning, temporary suspension, indefinite suspension or terminating the membership. Due to eBay's Privacy policy we are unable to provide information regarding the details of another user's account. We are equally concerned about violations on the site, and will thoroughly investigate each report we receive. However, the details of our actions cannot be disclosed with third party members. Please remember that this is for the protection of all eBay users. However, please remember that eBay does not participate in the buying or selling of any items. We simply provide a place where our members can meet to sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of formats, including a fixed price format and an auction-style format commonly referred to as an "online auction." As eBay is not involved in the actual transaction between Buyers and Sellers, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of Sellers to sell items or the ability of Buyers to buy items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction. Think of eBay like an Internet version of the newspaper classifieds. We help buyers and sellers find each other, but we take no responsibility for the merchandise changing hands. If a transaction goes wrong on eBay, you need to address this with your transaction partner - just as if a car you bought through the classifieds broke down, you wouldn't call the newspaper that printed the ad, you would contact the seller. Again, we appreciate your assistance as it's people like you who keep eBay a fun and safe place to trade. If you have any more questions that haven't been answered, please feel free to write back. When received, I'll be more than happy to assist you with whatever concerns you need to have addressed. Warmest regards, Lennox eBay PowerSeller Trust & Safety

Can you get them for me? If so, please pm me.

No, but I think the ad is really funny!

That commentary is LOL dudes, especially with those guys wanting to touch you. No f'in way.

I looked for the Embers in a few places but couldn't locate it. Amazon seems to have a few of the Charleys at various prices. You may also want to track ebay. That set shows up there from time to time.

See here for a discussion that may help.

Why not send UMG another message noting that apparently UMG is now fulfilling its contractual commitments with others and maybe they'd like to do the same with you. I'll do that Tony as well as bring it to ebay's attention.

Another late night tonight. Just finished watching the English Patient. A very riveting movie. I'm going to pick up the book tomorrow.

I don't have the Seven Steps to Heaven box although it's hopefully on the way but not being that familiar with the content are these reissues on it or are there are significant additions on these single cds not in the box set? Hope this doesn't smack of laziness but I thought someone who had the box could give a relatively quick answer.

I don't believe I came out swinging, just pointing out a few things and inconsistencies. But what can you say, everybody has got their opinions.

Well, it's good that weizen is getting it. Maybe that bodes well for me but I doubt it.

Jim, You're right. Never mind

Yeah, but I heard they took back his copy too.

Dan, I think I'd let this take its course and see what ebay comes back with. I don't know what it will be but I'd let the process proceed.

Response from ebay: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write eBay with your concerns. I understand that you have purchased item number: 4705006627 from "universalmusicgroup," however, the seller now states that the item was listed at the incorrect price and refuses to complete the transaction. I understand your concern in this matter, my name is Colt and I am happy to help you. As you may already be aware, this is a violation of our "non-selling seller" policy as the seller is refusing to abide by the terms in the listing. However, in order for me to take action on your report, please send me a copy of the actual email along with its full header where the seller refuses to sell the item that was properly won. Also, please be advised that, in order for eBay to investigate this matter further, you must submit the email and header in a single email. As soon as we have received this information, we'll be able to further investigate your situation. Thanks again for writing, and thank you for being part of the eBay community. Regards, Colt PowerSeller Team eBay Trust & Safety

I'm selling this special 3 CD set (rare, I'm told) that Classics put out that's a collection of rarities and odds and ends that didn't appear on Classics. Spans 1924-1949. $20, plus $3 shipping. Overseas, I need to figure out. Please pm me if interested.

I don't know if Allen has sold the KC book but it's really good. Highly recommended. Maybe he should sell it to Ron for $900.
