Guest Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 someone with: Jacqueline Jones- Frown on my face please pm me
Donkit Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Hard to find, I.ve missed out on a couple recently. Good luck
Markw Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 I posted a want for this last week mate - drew a blank....................
Donkit Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 What's a realistic price for it now ?? Last one I saw went for £150 1
Jordirip Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Last one I saw went for £150 Since the dawn of time, well since the 90's, this has always been £75, never gone up, never gone down. Obviously at long last it must be getting plays somewhere. Didn't Plumby always have this for sale?
Mark B Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Sold mine a couple of years ago to Steve mansion around £75.00 I would not pay more than this but it has disappeared and seems hard to get now.

Mal C Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Blimey, worth allot, paid $20 usd for mine about ten years ago.. you can get her other Loadstone release cheap, which is maybe seen as not quite as good, but I think she goes for it on the other track more, 'Frown on her Face' is quite plaintive really against the other sides..deffo worth picking up, Personally I had to have both singles...

Flanny Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 So what's the going rate? £100 to £150 depending on condition 1
Guest Johnny Mack Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 mines the same.....had it for the same time.......ive never tried to sell it because people think its cracked.. Checked mine and it is the same. These kind of hairlines are extremely common on styrene 45's. You have to look very, very closely to see them but in reality they dont affect play in any way. I dont consider they are cracks, but rather, they are just an (unfortunate) result of the styrene pressing process. Frankly, I dont even worry nowadays if I buy a styrene 45 and it has one of these lines ! John . I
Tricky Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I agree with Flanny.Sold a spare recently for 80 which I got for peanuts.If I was selling my own now I would want a lot more.I was inundated with pm,s.Its a case of a quality tune sitting in collections being hard to obtain now.Mine not for sale by the way.Trev
Flanny Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Next tune to follow this one to bigger exposure is Hugh BOynton girl I feel it quality waiting in the wings and a bit hard to find 1

Steve Plumb Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Since the dawn of time, well since the 90's, this has always been £75, never gone up, never gone down. Obviously at long last it must be getting plays somewhere. Didn't Plumby always have this for sale? Hi Jordi Well remembered mate A friend of mine in the 90's got me approx 15 copies All were unplayed and ALL had the infamous 'styrene crack' I do remember selling them all at £75 even back then BUT did have a few sent back because of the 'crack' As an aside, it's always a hard one trying to explain the 'crack' in sales patter, there's just no way of saying that it's cracked but it isn't (if you know what i mean?). I tend to try 'stress fracture' but that sounds even worse! So i'd appreciate it if there are any Shakespearian Writers out there who can put into words how a record can be cracked but not and NOT put anyone off LOL Cheers Steve ps Glad it's finally getting spins - was always going to be a big record BUT some take a lot longer than others (20 years+ in this case!)
Mark B Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I was told that it is a press fault caused by the pressing plates
Steve Plumb Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I was told that it is a press fault caused by the pressing plates Whatever it is, i'm sure that's why it's so tough to find! If most of them had it, i bet the fault/stress crack/split would have not got through a quality check and thus could have been pulled from sale?

HI Steve You could describe it as a pressure crack ? atb Kev
Dave Fleming Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Alot of Styrene 45s have this,i`ve allways known it as a stress fracture.... Dave f.....

Steve Dye penetrant inspection (DPI), also called liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) or penetrant testing (PT), is an inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). The penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials and ferrous materials, although for ferrous components magnetic-particle inspection is often used instead for its subsurface detection capability. LPI is used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects such as hairline cracks, surface porosity, leaks in new products, and fatigue cracks on in-service components. In layman's term if you were to spray the area of the record which may or may not be cracked with liquid dye penetrant (luminous green in colour) and then inspect the area under ultraviolet light whilst using a magnification lens you should then be able to determine whether the record is cracked or not.

22ndsoul Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Had a chat with a very knowledgeable guy yesterday about this and he reckons the hairline will be an imprint from the master press not a fault on the styrene. Edited May 27, 2013 by 22ndsoul 1
Pete S Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 This is a feature on loads of styrene records, most notoriously on the MVP's Turnin' My Heartbeat Up. It's not a crack of any sort. 1

I agree Pete but how many times have you had to drop the price on 45's with it, or have folks haggling for a discount because of it, or even worse, sending them back because they are cracked LOL I've a couple of 45's on my site right now that are usually good sellers for me but i can't sell them for half their normal price because they have it...................and before someone says summat sarky, their normal price was a very reasonable price to start with Cheers Steve 1

It's like a 'seam' in the record where the plastic has been sealed. Sort of.
