“Dear Magnus,
So what did I do? I paid for two right away, GBP 120. Somewhere I felt this was not very smart. I discovered
just some week later a topic on the Ebay forum about fake white labels! See this:

Now the alarm clock really set in. I emailed Vinnie and asked him where my records were. He answered this:
“Dear Magnus,
You can send the remaining payments to the usual address lynnereed@tiscali.co.uk when it's convenient.
I just thought this way would cut down on the postage.
I also have the following items that may interest you. All are Motorhead UK test pressings and all are in
EX to MINT condition.

Hello. Yes, that's absolutely fine, whatever you're comfortable with. All I really needed to know was
that you wanted them. I'll go ahead and get all of the Motorhead items from Bryan later this week and
start sending them over to you. Once again I'll ask you to send me your full name and address so that I
can make sure all the details are correct. I'll have all 4 of items mentioned by the weekend, so if you
want to send a payment for 1 or 2 of the items that will be fine. As I said, whatever is comfortable for
you. The PayPal address is lynnereed@tiscali.co.uk
I should have everything that Bryan has regarding Motorhead within 2 to 3 weeks. The guys collection is
incredible. He lives in an old Railway station, complete with sidings and all the outbuildings and
currently has over 2 million records. It really is staggering to see that many in one place. So I'm sure you
can imagine that it will take a little time to go through absolutely everything.
Anyway, the records are yours and I'll get on to it first thing in the morning,
All the Best,
Vinnie”
Hello again. I hope you are well and survived the Christmas and New Year celebrations OK. I will send a
parcel to you on Monday 7th January containing the 4 x Motorhead test pressings that we agreed on.
1/. 7" OVERKILL / TOO LATE BRO 67 A-1 / B-1.
2/. 7" LOUIE LOUIE / TEAR YA DOWN BRO 60 A-1 / B-1
3/. NO CLASS / LIKE A NIGHTMARE BRO 78 A-1/B-1
4/. IRON FIST / REMEMBER ME I'M GONE RED VINYL "A" LABEL PROMO.
1/. MOTORHEAD / CITY KIDS - original CHISWICK TEST PRESSING @ £100.00.
2/. MOTORHEAD / CITY KIDS - BIG BEAT TEST PRESSING.
We actually have 3 copies of this item, one in BLACK vinyl, one in WHITE vinyl and one in ORANGE vinyl.
The orange and white ones were actually used as a colour test as opposed to a record test. The orange one
has FAIL written across the label because it has a lot of red marbling in the orange vinyl and the white
one has PASS and OK written on it and then signed by the factory supervisor. The black one just has plain
white labels. These are £60.00 each.
If you want these as well please let me know by Monday morning and I can send them over to you as well
in the same package. They'll be sent by INTERNATIONAL SIGNED-FOR so they'll be covered by full insurance.
Well, that's my news for now, so I'll wish you All the very best for 2008 and look forward to
hearing from you soon,
Vinnie”
