forgive me if I'm wrong but at what point does a VG- label become just plain old CR (ap)

That is hideous but it should only be soul records which originally had pristine labels, I've got a few hundred of those Jamaican blanks and they really do look and smell terrible!

This is one of the most famous US garage 45s, as iconic to that scene as Frank Wilson, JD Bryant on Shrine, or Junior McCants "Try Me" are to US Northern Soul 45s.

Be that as it may, the record does not play through and the winner was an infamous collector known as the 'Caveman', someone whose thinking is rather diminutive to their wallet size....

Getting back to my first sentence, if a copy of one of the three records I mentioned, or a similar item came up for sale, an unplayable copy, I wonder what it would sell for.....g.gif

Damp, cigarettes, you name it..musty I'd call it

Talking of jamaican vinyl, my mate had a red vinyl that looked like it had been melted in the dutchie pot and believe it or not had a piece of straw in the vinyl sticking out both sides !! Wish I had a photo !!! :shhh:

Robinsons records in Manchester used to sell a lot of water damaged stuff in the early seventies that lot looks like my colection :rolleyes:

I think I just don't have enough money to understand. I feel bad spending $150 on a VG- record no matter how rare or expensive a minter is. It's all about having a nice copy for me.

I suppose once you've collected enough then there's nothing left to collect and you might be willing to drop some dough just for a token.

I too am curious to see what a cracked FW would bring in. :shhh:
