The Marvelettes - As long as I know he's mine/Little girl blue        Stateside SS 251         Replica Company Sleeve             Condition: NM I don't often list records with a reserve price on them, but when it comes to early Tamla Motown classics, even though the actual release in the UK was on Stateside, I really don't have much choice! This Marvelettes classic is their fifth UK single, on Stateside because Tamla didn't have a license at the time from EMI, and is written by Smokey Robinson, with the B side by Holland-Dozier-Holland. The vinyl shines as if new, it plays like a dream, there are no marks, skips, pops or jumps and no writing on either label or sleeve. Only a little wear around the spindle betrays it as having been played. 
THE RESERVE PRICE IS £50.00. A BID ABOVE THIS STANDS A CHANCE OF WINNING. Happy bidding and good luck!
I've got lots more rare Motown, including those released on Stateside, Oriole, Fontana and pure Motown TMG 500 to TMG 1350 worth anything between £2.00 and £500.00 so ask if thee's something you want. You might get lucky!
I play the A side of my sale records on an original Monarch turntable, the successor to the Dansette. These machines were tailor made for the early vinyl so if there was anything untoward, it would soon be found. If you disagree with the rating, don't make a fuss - ask for that refund!
Listed by Record Collector Price Guides at £60.00. This reserve price copy is worth £50.00 or more.
VERY IMPORTANT POSTAGE NOTICE - I am partially disabled and unable to walk far without assistance. That means I have to ask my carer to go to the Post Office for me and that is not always possible. Therefore I may have to do the job myself, and so I will only guarantee to post every 10 to 12 WORKING days, when a suitable pile has built up to make the extreme effort worthwhile. If you are not prepared to wait for that length of time - please do not buy from me and then complain or "open a case" for non-delivery. That just makes things worse. If you do wait you will receive a quality item, (check my feedback) or, in the rare event that you do not agree with me, a 100% no quibble guarantee including postage.
Despite what EBAY says, the carrier (i.e. the Post Office or courier firm) is responsible for the loss in transit of correctly paid for and addressed mail items and NOT the seller. That is UK law. I have lodged a complaint with Ebay about this but they do not deign to answer me, perhaps because they know they are in the wrong. Therefore, I will assist wherever possible of course, in a variety of ways, but ultimate traceability rests with the carrier and their in-place systems for doing so. I cannot refund lost items and buying an item from me means you accept that.
POSTAGE (incl. packaging in brackets)   U.K.                  EUROPE                    WORLD             
ONE, TWO or THREE DISCS                    £1.48   (£1.80)      from £3.70  from £5.20 FOUR, FIVE, SIX or SEVEN DISCS            £2.01   (£2.35)      from £5.60 from  £8.00 EIGHT, NINE or TEN DISCS                      £2.50   (£2.75)       from £6.60  from £10.50
PRICE BREAKDOWN FOR U.K:   Large letter postage is £1.48 for 1-3 items, £2.01 for 4 - 7 items, and £2.50 for 8 - 10 items SECURE PACKAGING:  A secure envelope and a strengthener purchased from other Ebay sellers is then added, and costs on average 30 - 40 pence. Therefore my charges in the brackets above are exact and no additional profit is made. The same rule applies to Europe and Overseas but you must ask for an invoice.
PLEASE ENQUIRE for prices of larger amounts. Regular customers will receive even lower charges than those above as a reward for loyalty and people who buy a large number of records will very often pay no postage charge at all.
WHO AM I?
HonestDave'sRecords has been successfully selling 1950's and 1960's singles and LP's at record fairs for nearly 40 years and on Ebay for 7 years. In fact I handle anything between 1955 and 1973, from any number of fields including: Pop, Beat, Soul, Northern Soul, Tamla Motown, Comedy, Easy Listening, Reggae, Instrumentals, Solo Girls and Boys and Girl Groups. If you want a fright, my photo and stall set out at a major London fair is on the mE button adjacent to my user name above. You can also find my contact details here which may prove useful to you. I have decided not to try to send out lists - with constantly changing stock, it was proving impossible to keep up with the accuracy of the material. If you wish to send me lists of wants that is fine. If you have a specific requirement, you will find in this section, the means to get hold of me. If I have it, I will load it for you. At any one time I will have between five and eight thousand (5,000-8,000) singles and EP's and about a hundred (100) of so of the best LP's (too heavy for any more - my car objects to what it has to carry now!). Prices range from clearance items at £1.25 - £1.95, through huge numbers in the range £2.25 - £4.95, and hundreds of even rarer items in the pop, instrumental, beat, girl groups and soloists, straight soul and northern soul from £5.50 to £500.50 slices of Oriole. Most will be UK issues although a few will be American and will say so; most will have the original or an exact replica of the company sleeve it was issued in. Spares of these are available (most types) at 40p each post free. Almost all will have the original centre intact - a very few desirable ones may be sold with the centre punched out.
My lowest sales category is Very Good although only a few will actually be found listed as low as that. I try to ensure that all items should be in Very Good Plus, Excellent or Near Mint condition as defined by Record Collector Price Guides. I never use the condition Mint as it cannot be proved to my satisfaction. However, there is always the odd one that slips through the net when you deal in the numbers I do, and don't forget that even in 1965, duff copies came off the production line and these could still be out there. 
If you should find any of my records are not as described, don't rush to leave negative feedback or poor marks on my seller ratings - I hate this system and it achieves nothing, despite what Ebay may think. It causes only bad feeling and solves nothing! Honest Dave offers a 100% money back, including all postage costs guarantee to any unsatisfied buyer. I will NOT require the item back - if it isn't any good to you, then it certainly isn't for me so throw it in the bin.
