Had a couple of records arrive this morning. I always use a Stanley knife to fight my way through the tape, plastic and card. Anyway, I was a little over zealous this morning and cut through the tape, plastic and card - and all the way through the vinyl! Cut clear through from the run in groove to the label.

 

Sorry Edwin.

Just crayons normally Steve.

 

I've done that so many times it's a joke. It's usually when they've only put one bit of card in with the record and I just cut straight through the seal and the record.  

It was another copy of

Yep, you're right Dave.

 

It's a long way up to Wilford Hill for a fat lad! I think I've said before that Edwin is not far away from my mum in the cemetery. He sings to her all the time. God bless them both.

Sort of, I sold a copy of Joanne Courcey to Max and said I'd take it over there, so to avoid breaking it putting it on my car seat, I decided to put it in a mailer, pushed it in and put my thumb right through it.  He didn't even notice the crack and was going to give me the £500 I was asking, but I showed it him and he paid £200.

Its a good job it was you selling it and not one of the dodgy feckers out there - Max could have been well out of pocket.

 

I remember walking home from an all niter in Notts in the 90's. I was crossing Lady Bay Bridge over the River Trent with a Harold Melvin Prayin in my hand. For some unbeknown reason I did a really animated flick of my wrist - I was left holding an empty cardboard sleeve as the 45 Frisbeed at some speed over the side of the bridge straight into the Trent. Funny that.    LOL

 

It's a good job I don't buy big ticket stuff.

At least you didn't blow the fooker up

We could start a thread of tunes with titles and artists relating to Ironsides adventures

I really do have previous for record neglect - all of my stuff should be on Record Protection Plans.

 

 

Managed to glue a 45 that I'd tracked down after years of looking to the record sleeve as it was coming apart at the seams. Still got the tune but totally unplayable thanks to a large blob of superglue across the vinyl. Teach me not to leave record in sleeve when doing a bit of DIY

That's one of the funniest things I've heard in don't know how long. In fact, I just snorted into my wine glass. Sorry... But at the same time, thank you for sharing!

Martin. It's a good job it wasn't me and it was the river Mersey in Widnes I was crossing. It would have melted the record. Steve

A lovely mint copy of Bobby Lee Fears turned up, previously never played...I played it the once, tried to pop out the adaptor afterwards and....CRACK!!!

crack all the way through right across the feckin thing.

Left a 12" of Uptown Festival on the parcel  shelf of my dad's car. The sun warped it like a b****d. I used my mum's iron to flatten it out. Thoughtfully I sandwiched a yellow duster between the iron and the vinyl. Ended up with a very furry yellow disc - still warped. Could have been worse - could have been good (sorry Ian).
