I have been buying on eBay now for many years and have over a thousand positive feedbacks. There is a reason why i have opened a new account with eBay to sell rather than use my existing account. I have in the last year or so returned to my Christian belief. I want to follow what is scriptual in disposing of what, quite honestly, has been a bit of a millstone around my neck. One day i looked around at all the many thousand items that filled two rooms and came to a dawning realisation that i had no idea what 90% of all this stuff was. I mean, i could go and buy something, play it once, log it, and that was the last i ever saw of it. So, this has handed me a golden opportunity to turn around this situation into something positive. I usually find something to say about what i am selling along with a track listing for albums. I hope that my passion and love for these items shines through occasionally amongst my rambling. So why would i want to just give them away. Simple, my love for Jesus as my redeemer is even greater. Matthew chapter 6 verses 1-4 explains the reason for a new eBay account whilst Matthew chapter 19 verses 16-21 gives my explanation for giving the lot to the Haiti Hospital Appeal. S O, D I G D E E P A N D B I D H I G H!!!! and keep watching as there lots of serious stuff to come (Unreleased Gram Parsons acetate, a couple of hundred Westwood one type radio shows, unreleased Townes Van Zandt acetate and hundreds more of similar ilk).

  ALMOST BLUE ELVIS COSTELLO Elvis
  Costello Introduces The Tracks On His New Album 'Almost Blue' (Rare 1981 UK
  F-Beat FULLY AUTOGRAPHED promotional-only  vinyl LP featuring Elvis
  introducing each of the twelve tracks and giving some information on the
  background behind the track. Housed in superb  numbered custom picture
  sleeve featuring a pasted print of a pencil drawing of the band by Bruce
  Thomas, which has been signed by Elvis, Steve,  Pete and Bruce, with
  cues on the back. All copies of this promo have Bruce Thomas' green ink stamp
  faded.  E.C.CHAT1) So, Elvis records an
  album of country covers? In this day and age, we know that Costello has the
  tendency to do all sorts of odd things yet back in  the day the very thought
  of Elvis doing a covers album,and not only that but one in the style of the
  very un-punk country ethos, was enough to send  his fan-base apoplectic.
  The Attractions are all present and correct as in some guy who used to be in
  The Doobie Brothers, no doubt for the more  difficult Pedal Steel
  parts. Yet, they make few concessions to trying to be all Nashville, the
  balance is better than that. A true country connoisseur  would no doubt find
  fault then, but it's not really about the style, it's about the songs. It's
  about the songs and Elvis becoming more than just a  Buddy Holly style punk
  icon who had a hit with 'Olivers Army'. 'Almost Blue' demonstrates Costello's
  superb interpretive abilities, so much so, this  has to go down as one of
  the more artistically satisfying covers projects, almost ever. Well, 'Honey
  Hush' utterly fails to convince, being more in a  rock n roll mode, a
  style you'd have thought he'd handle better than country. My thoughts on
  'Honey Hush'? Well, where's the echo, why is the  production suddenly so
  sterile when on the marvellous likes of 'A Good Year For The Roses' the sound
  is natural and spot on? Patsy Cline's 'Sweet
  Dreams' is gorgeously rendered by Costello, proving he can do the ballads
  very well indeed. 'A Good Year For The Roses' upps  the ante even further
  and has become a Costello classic even though he never wrote the tune
  himself. Hank Williams 'Why Don't You Love Me' is  barely country at all as
  performed here by Costello. This borders on holiday-camp rock music, albeit
  expertly played. The energy is here that was  lacking in 'Honey Hush',
  yet the sound is still a little sterile for such rock n roll type music. For
  pure country, we get the likes of 'Tonight The Bottle  Let Me Down', 'Brown To
  Blue' and 'Success' and nice thought these tunes are, the album wouldn't have
  worked without the variety brought by the  likes of 'Why Don't You
  Love Me' or 'A Good Year For The Roses'. All in all then, a plesant surprise.
  The album isn't going to amaze you to the extent  you'll likely believe it
  a vital document, yet there is much to admire here all the same.

  "Royal Mail pricing made easy" guide. It's about as much sense as
  the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.     I will determin the cost
  on the basis of a single LP's weight plus the pennies for packaging, It's
  cheaper.                  For the UK :  £2.50               For Europe :  £3.50   Forthe Rest of the World
