Charlene - If you take away the pain until the morning/Richie's song

Tamla Motown TMG 1310, 1983

I don't often sell any record pressed after 1973 because I have no idea who the artists are and I only listen to my own era's music. An exception is made for Tamla Motown, after I bought virtually the whole collection, but many of my rare items were stolen by my former record fair colleague and I hope they bring him bad luck for a long time to come.

Who is Charlene - I pass? With the disc ignored by Record Collector as usual, you turn to John Manship's soul site for a price. The DJ disc is apparently worth £75.00 so I'll try this one at £15.00 and see what happens. Over to you.

It is supplied in excellent condition (only a date and a small sticker mark are against it being Near Mint) and it is in a replica Tamla company sleeve.

£15.00

Over 400 more Tamla Motown discs are available - titles on request but sorry, no lists. Not on Ebay before Autumn 2017.

I ALWAYS OFFER EXCELLENT COMBINED POSTAGE RATES – SEE BELOW.

COMPLAINTS AND REFUNDS

Ebay and all buyers please note: most of the item (s) for sale on my site are between 40 and 60 years old, but are in the best possible condition possible for their age. I play all “A” and many “B” sides on a 1960’s Monarch deck, to make sure they sound OK. If anyone should find a record is not as described, it will be replaced or refunded. It is more than possible that the defect could have been with the disc since it was pressed.

If you want feedback left for you (and I ALWAYS leave positive, as soon as I know the item has arrived safely and is satisfactory), first you must leave it for me. There have been far too many buyers across the Ebay Community receiving a full refund and then leaving negative or neutral feedback which is UNFAIR and ignored by Ebay.

All you need to do is contact HonestDave immediately for a full, no quibbles guarantee of a full 100% REFUND including all postage. DO NOT send defective items back unless specifically asked to do so – if the item isn’t good enough for you, then it certainly isn’t for me, so please dispose of it responsibly.

THE DISC (s) ON SALE and their COVERS

All records are checked for current value against the Record Collector Price Guide (soul records are also judged or John Manship’s Soul site which generally gives a more accurate price for that genre. (rarerecordpriceguide.com), (raresoulman.co.uk).

I use only the categories Very Good, VG+, EX (minus), Excellent and occasionally Near Mint as defined by Record Collector. Detailed information is obtained from the following highly recommended websites: 45cat.com, Discogs.com, Popsike.com, everyhit.com, officialcharts.com, and Wikipedia, (to which I contribute for the privilege).

Most records will be supplied in an original or replica Company sleeve, but if not a white sleeve will be included.

SPEED of OPERATIONS

Please don’t ask for fast delivery or complain about slow postage by me. I’m disabled, with an inoperable slipped disc touching on my spinal cord and the specialists have offered me very poor odds against surviving the operation. I post once a week (usually Thursdays), or when I can but am dependent on friends to assist. I cannot go any faster – I already do the very best I can. The record you get should be worth the wait.

U.K. POSTAGE and PACKAGING

1 – 8 singles (7”, 45 rpm records) are charged at the First Class Large Letter rate (20 cm x 20 cm x 2.5 cm, and weight under half a kilo), which is £1.71 according to the Post Office website. 29p is added for professional packaging, making the total postage just £2.00 for up to 8 discs. 9 or more discs or a package height above 2.5cm is £3.30 plus the packing.

EUROPEAN and OVERSEAS BUYERS

Postage and packaging rates for singles to Europe (except those shown below) start at £3.70. ALL OTHER COUNTRIES the price starts at around £10.00-£12.00 but five or six discs will go at the same rate.

Packages bound for Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Eastern Europe can only be sent by private courier firms because of continued “lost” i.e. stolen mail.

If the rates shown above are too expensive for you then you as the buyer should look elsewhere. There are cheaper rates available but delivery times of 6 to 10 weeks have been quoted. YOUR RISK!
