Ever Lost A Record From Your Collection?


Guest

Recommended Posts

With the Wirrina reunion only 2 days away I decided to pull out a few tunes...my brother asked me to play Oscar Perry..Ive got what you need so off I went a searching in the box, nope not there, another look nah it aint there.

So out come all the other boxes...I have two hours checking for said record, it has vanished.

Ive come to the conclusion that Ive sold it and forgotten (which is quite possible) or some bastard has nicked it whatever has happend to the damn thing it aint in this house.

WHERE THE HELL IS IT?????? whistling.gif

Hate that, its even worse than getting excited and buying something you've allready got and you'de forgotten you had it!

At least you can flog it when you find out you've now got 2!

But not been able to find it and not remembering if you sold it is a real dilema,you trawl through your boxes umteen times realize its gone and your heads thinking for ever as to where did it go!

I knew who had been dibbing in mine years ago but just couldnt prove it!!

Bad one!

I've lost a number, well misplaced them at least. Sometimes they turn up but I still have a number missing in action since I stripped out the record room when duaghter No1 came back to live at home again. When I want to find one 45 it's a mamoth task there in boxes all over the house now whistling.gif

Many years ago, the guy who lived across the road from me borrowed an axe from his next door neighbour...then proceded to hack his wife to death with it...TRUE

but on topic yes.

lost a dena barnes years ago, no idea where it went, must have been nicked i think.

damaged a few.

fell over on a sam dees while pissed and dancing round my living room to it, when they were £20. never bothered getting another which i regret now as i love it.

one of my little girls ran over my copy of falcons 'love you like you've never been loved' on my office chair a while back. hmm. you have to laugh or else you would cry.

Lost a few, broke a few.

Left a mint English demo of Carl Douglas Something For Nothing on a bar at a Stoke all-dayer. Turned my back for a second and it had gone.

Sat on a copy of Bobby Williams on Sureshot and cracked it.

Left a Polydor copy of Inspirations Touch Me Hold Me in the car and came back to find it fried in the sun.

Dropped a lovely 78 copy of Jimmy McCracklin's The Walk. It didn't survive.

Worst of all, lent a pile of good English stuff to a so called mate around 1974. Still waiting for their return - especially the chess demo of the Tiffanies.

I could go on. Hate this thread!!!

Did exactly the same thing! Only it was me on the chair!...record was Velvelettes on I.P.G, on the same day I knocked a pile of CDs onto a pile of 45s and they cracked the top one clean in half...that one was Willie & Handjives - I Gotta Find A New Girl (Veep) whistling.gif

The next record in the pile which survived was...Falcons!!! whistling.gif

Me and you Dan got a lot in common!!!!

My mate 'lost' a 45 and it did turn up a couple of months later lodged in the boot of his car....so don't despair Paul.

Had a fantastic 4-5 hours in Shepards Bush, Record & Tape Exchange and other favourite haunts around that time - early 80's.

Came away with 2 large plastic bags full of 45's & LP's... and left one of them on a tube somehere on my way up to Wembley.

Often wonder whether the person who found them ever got into the music!

ouch

reminds me, i bought about 200 quids worth of cheap kit off des parker at caergwle about two years ago.

left at midnight, drove away

next day, suddenly remembered i'd bought some records, wondered where they were...

i'd obviously put them on my roof when opening the car and they were spread all over north wales.

really pissed off cos i couldn't remember what i'd bought and somehow that made it worse. biggrin.gif

in one of my many attempts to bo be organised in my 46 years, i sorted my records into 3 boxes, one for keeping, one decent stuff for selling, and one to go as a job lot, the job lot went to a well known notts dealer, in the mean time i did a list of my decent stuff for selling got a good selling deal on a gold issue sandra phillips ,challenge my love and hapinness is here on topper, however when i looked in my decent stuff for selling box :angry: bugger all

went to my keeping box :angry: :angry: bugger all

****In ell biggrin.gif ive sent em to notts

p.s if anyone is in paris and on the metro and they find a couple of archie bell eps with good picture covers, please pick them up and send them to me, they may be a bit dusty as i lost them in 1980 whilst on holiday laugh.gif

I never lend any records out to mates anymore. Years ago when on the scooter scene lent a copy of The Reflections, Romeo & Juliet to someone, never to be seen again! But sometimes worse than not getting them back at all, is getting them back all scratched! sad.gif

...Like several other attendees, I did a turn at Ady Croasdell's wedding reception in Market Harborough many years ago, and I was followed by a non-Northern/60s DJ who Ady had asked to play some commercial stuff for family etc. He commenced his set by throwing a couple of records into the crowd, including my green and white, TMG 646 "My Weakness Is You" demo, that I'd finished my set with, and that was still on the turntable - waiting to be returned to its sleeve - when he came on.

Despite the fact that everyone present had heard me play it, and the fact that I knew at least 75% of the people in the room, nobody gave it back. Taught me a valuable lesson never to play UK 60s demos in public...

TONE :angry:

what a thread! it`s almost like a confessional.

1.put a small box of tunes in a car that i thought was mine

2.lent a guy some tunes to make a tape. 3 months later i heard he had died and his family had cleared his flat.

3.not me this time but my mate dave gillanders. we came out of the old english at matlock to load the car to go to wigan. we arrive at wigan and dave wants his sale box. shi,,,..,,.t we left it on a wall in the old E car park.went back in the morning....nothing.

4.3 years ago an old friend said i must give you those records you lent me. toni micheals,coasters,universals..,.,. so thats where they went.,.,.,15 years ago. he lives about 1 and half miles away. but in his defence it was good of him to tell me he had them.
