Hi all. I have just written to someone again on ebay who is selling an item of the Cs again for an xtortionate amount sayin "Rare" & "NEW" etc & on lookin its a load of rubbish " All the Cs Xmas hits on one CD??when in fact its the much maligned Special Ed of Christmas Portrait & this buyer is sellin it for a fortune...another lousy power seller. Fraid I told him to straighten his facts a bit. I do hate these people who sell Cs items for an xtortionate amount when a much cheaper proper item can be bought. I have on the very rare occassion have sold a Cs item but for the benefit of the buyer who was a genuine Cs fan & was soooo gratefull for the item. There is also a 12" record called "best of the black hole of Cs or sommat like it ?? not even gonna waste my time. I used to be in a Cs appreciation Soc & when we did conventions there was always some git there that was doin a "stall" of Cs items & selling stuff at an xtortionat amount & ripping true fans off..Normally he didnt stay long when Id finished with him & more than once I was the victim of abuse when I "raffled off" items I had taken for free to the other Genuine fans there to put him out of business. Most of the Cs memrobila I have have been passed on to me by other fans & by my hard work tracking stuff down & I have always said swapsies & fair trade with other fans is the way to be. I sold Music M M on video on ebay a while ago for 25 quid which I originally put on for a nickle or 50p in uk money. Got so much interest I was quite embarrassed about takin the winners money as i had only put it on in the 1st place 2 see what interest there was, but a true loyal fan that he was insisited on payin the full amount so I reploughed money into getting more stuff of the Cs. Regarding the idiot who sent Rick the nasty email. Lets have his address & send him /her a nasty reply from all of us. It might make em think again b4 sending a stupid letter to someone else again in that callabre. Just had a little jolt back into the past when I saw someones ( a Mate I was visiting) copy of the N & T LP which I just had 2 take outta the cover & look at the label. It had the Proper A & M in big letters which glittered in an emerald sheen with the off white top to the label going down to silver..one of the very second printings of the label after the 1st came out with the orig green. I sat looking at it 4 ages & completely lost track of time such was the lovely memories that flooded back to me of the time I 1st got that LP. My mate came lookin 4 me & went a way shaking his head sadly....Oh just like B4 Its Yesterday Once More......Ken Carps1000
