Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Date: 01 Mar 08 - 11:48 AM Duncan , many thanks for clarifying the situation, it's too bad I'm no where near the area (about 5000 miles no where near), I'd volunteer immediately it I was. And I'm interested in Nic and Julia's situation, not the situation of other musicians. Thank You Charlotte (this view from Ma and Pa's piano stool) |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: KeithofChester Date: 01 Mar 08 - 07:43 AM It is all explained here. Getting Paid via PayPal |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: HipflaskAndy Date: 01 Mar 08 - 07:34 AM I know their situation, personally. It is not a simple a matter of finance. Julia runs Mollie from a spare room in their house. She is (by her own admission) not too great at using the PC. They do, indeed, need someone to aid them in setting up PayPal, I do know they'd like to have that facility. Anyone that's a dab hand on the computer front (in the Devon area) might care to email her (via Mollie site) and volunteer to set them up. I'm sure they'd appreciate that. Cheers - Duncan McFarlane |

Charlotte (setting the record straight) I'm not made of money either, but I have a Paypal account which I use both to buy and sell. It seems to me that Nic could use some friends who might actually help instead of hinder. |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Date: 29 Feb 08 - 04:47 PM Because the name of the place, in this case, ends in gate.....?*LOL* Charlotte (not deep throat) |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: Doc John Date: 29 Feb 08 - 04:41 PM That grid reference? After Watergate, why do we add ...gate onto everything theses day?! Doc John |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: The Mole Catcher's Apprentice (inactive) Date: 29 Feb 08 - 11:47 AM "Probably best to avoid a seller at SE306553 (an OS Grid reference!)" Agreed Andy. I made a veiled reference that same co-ordinate in my 28 Feb 08 - 02:12 PM posting Charlotte (buys directly when possible) |

Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Date: 29 Feb 08 - 11:26 AM this thread is about Nic Jones and the access to his recordings isn't it...? "Why don't Nic & Julia Jones set up electronic payment to make it easier for customers?" the answer to that was in Diane's posting 28 Feb 08 - 12:40 PM "Mollie who, no, don't have an electronic online purchasing facility but perhaps cannot, for obvious reasons, afford to run one." it's not like we're all made of money. Charlotte (setting the record straight) |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: The Sandman Date: 29 Feb 08 - 11:01 AM Ralphie,I am glad to hear someomes keeping the postmen employed. I am fairly sure that I would sell less items on my website if I didnt use paypal. I think Nic and Julia would be well advised to give it consideration,in my experience it increases sales.Dick Miles |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,Ralphie Date: 28 Feb 08 - 06:56 PM To echo Dianes thoughts. The only sanctioned releases by Nic and His family are. Penguin Eggs and Game Set Match (Topic Records) In Search Of and Unearthed (Mollie Music) The Others..... Ballad and Songs Nic Jones Noahs Ark Trap Devil To A Stranger Are NOT, repeat NOT sanctioned for release due to a very long lasting rights issue, (see the thousands of threads on that one!) As has been said, All the available records can be obtained either directly from Nic and Julia (And Hey, what price for a letter from the family itself?) or from Fish records in the UK. I personally think that it's quite refreshing to actually write a cheque and go down to the post office to send it!! Hope the above helps to clarify the situation. Ralphie |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: BusyBee Paul Date: 28 Feb 08 - 06:36 PM The really nice thing about buying from Nic and Julia was that they took the time to write in reply to the letter I'd sent them with my cheque. Now that to me was beyond price and in this instance at least knocked Paypal out of the frame. |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: The Sandman Date: 28 Feb 08 - 06:22 PM if you visit my website,I have a shop with pay pal,it is in my opinion really important,and its not expensive to set up.http://www.dickmiles.com |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: Doc John Date: 28 Feb 08 - 05:40 PM Why don't Nic & Julia Jones set up electronic payment to make it easier for customers? was wondered above. It is very expensive to do so especially with a relatively low turnover. Paypal may be more reasonable but I don't know the details of this; perhaps someone does. Please always think about buying from Mollie Music first: they charming and very efficient! Doc John |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Date: 28 Feb 08 - 02:12 PM "the other 5 Nic Jones CDs (CDs??) from Camsco the same thought occurred to me while I was out of the house as has occurred to Diane. I remembered reading the Camsco entry earlier on, but it didn't strike me as odd until I was at the shops...having remembered the trouble there is with Nic's Leader recordings in the UK. I think I'll ordering any CDs by Nic Jones directly from Nic and Julia at Mollie Music and, as I earlier stated, avoid the middle man..... Charlotte (the view from Ma and Pa's piano stool) |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: The Borchester Echo Date: 28 Feb 08 - 12:40 PM the other 5 Nic Jones CDs (CDs??) from Camsco I think not. The only recordings authorised by the artist himself and for which he receives royalties are the two Mollie releases (In Search of / Unearthed) and the two Topic ones (Penguin Eggs / Game Set Match, all available direct from Mollie who, no, don't have an electronic online purchasing facility but perhaps cannot, for obvious reasons, afford to run one. |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: dick greenhaus Date: 28 Feb 08 - 12:22 PM Or you could order it (along with the other 5 Nic Jones CDs) rrom CAMSCO |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Date: 28 Feb 08 - 12:08 PM "Amazon are temporarily out of stock, but one of their merchants is trying to flog a second hand copy for GBP54!" Another VERY good reason, if you need one, not to buy from Amazon. Charlotte (buys directly from the musician or musicians, where possible) |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: KeithofChester Date: 28 Feb 08 - 11:49 AM Mollie Music aren't helping themselves take direct orders by insisting on being paid by paper payments methods like cheques. Almost every other seller now has electronic payment facilities of some sort. My assumption has always been that when people make it much easier to buy from the likes of Fish (who are VERY reliable) that's the way to go. Amazon are temporarily out of stock, but one of their merchants is trying to flog a second hand copy for GBP54! |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice Date: 28 Feb 08 - 11:11 AM purchase directly from Nic and Julia, and cut out the middle man, as has been noted they'll make more money that way Charlotte (the view from Ma and Pa's piano stool) |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,RP Date: 28 Feb 08 - 09:52 AM Thanks for all the help. Have ordered for fish records, and already had a note saying it has shipped, so hopefully will have a copy tomorrow. Thanks again |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,HipflaskAndy Date: 28 Feb 08 - 08:46 AM I'll second the 'Unearthed' plug. It's grand. Fish distribute for Nic & Julia.... by all means buy electronically via them - but I'd venture you might buy direct from Nic & Julia's own Mollie Music via the links given above (to Nic's website). They'll make more from that transaction! - and phoning or ordering by letter won't take that much longer. Cheers - HFA - (Duncan McFarlane) |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: pavane Date: 28 Feb 08 - 07:39 AM Hey Ralphie, I have been trying to PM you, but I suppose as you are posting as guest, you can't log in. Could you drop me an email maybe? You can do this by going to my site www.greenhedges.com and clicking on email. (This way I don't have to let my email address escape to the world) |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,Ralphie Date: 28 Feb 08 - 06:00 AM (Memo to Self.....Write before posting!) Ahem.....May I put in a mention for the second re-issue "Unearthed"? A double CD, released a few years after "In Search Of" Not that I have any vested interest, Honest Guv! Seriously, contact Nic and Julia at there website listed above. Julia will sort out all your requests, Oh, And there is also the Topic retrospective released last year.... Hope you've got a good credit limit!!!! Good luck and enjoy Ralphie |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST Date: 28 Feb 08 - 05:10 AM also available from fish records where you can pay electronically. It is a great disc, probably the best of the self released material of the past 10 years. |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: Surreysinger Date: 28 Feb 08 - 05:06 AM Oh well - just one minute too late [grins] |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: Surreysinger Date: 28 Feb 08 - 05:06 AM You could try here on Nic's official site, where you'll find details of all his other stuff which is currently available. This is the place |
Subject: RE: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: Ian Hendrie Date: 28 Feb 08 - 05:05 AM Itr can be bought from the Nic Jones web-site . |
Subject: In Search of Nic Jones CD From: GUEST,RP Date: 28 Feb 08 - 04:54 AM Heard a copy of this CD over the weekend was knocked out by it. Have struggled to find one locally (UK) or through the usual online places. Any help for a UK supplier, where I can pay by card would be appreciated. thanks! |
