    In July 2002 (yes 02) I placed an online order with Terrapin Records for a v hard to find long deleted (mid 70's album) cd Firing on all Six by Lone Star (anyone alse heard of em??) A superb 2nd album. Anyway paid £10 by visa as you do and after a while.....I heard nothing. I continued to hear nothing so started looking elsewhere. Tried the record label (BGO) they had no idea where to find one, eventually a couple of copies of the first two albums on 1 cd started to appear on ebay. Dropped out of one auction after the price hit £90! Eventually I picked one up for £32 :)

    Three days ago, a jiffy bag dropped through the letter box. Yes- finally nearly 18 months later a CD from Terrapin Records. Indeed a CD with an invoice with the comment that due to the rarity of some albums some delay might occur. No kidding :eek: . Killer blow was that the CD was a copy anyway :D
