Missing Rufus Wood 45

[Manfromsoul45s]

Firstly apologies for hi-jacking this group but I was looking for the right opportunity to post something and of course wanted to check all bases and ask all the appropriate people to be as sure as I can be in my own mind.

It seems that the last time I DJ’d at the Nottingham Boat Club someone thought it was acceptable to steal my copy of Rufus Wood “Before 2001” (Espanola) original copy whilst I was playing my set.

It wasn’t until later that I realised it was missing and of course I have checked everywhere I could, and even Julia has done the same to have “a fresh set of eyes” but to no avail and after back tracking my movements of when and where I last had it and this is the only conclusion I can come to.

I would like to add I don’t and do not wish this to reflect on Mick H and any of the team involved. This is about an individual/individuals that have taken it upon themselves to take something that does not belong to them and Mick has done his best to help me for which a really appreciate.

It was in EX condition or better with from memory no real distinguishing marks as far as it goes but obviously it isn’t a record that ever seems to come up for sale.

I am of course extremely unhappy about what has happened and would ask if anyone who comes across one for sale out of the blue or just doesn’t seem quite right to please contact me and it will of course be in strict confidence.

I would also add that if the person in question reads this my address is available from my website in the “contact Information” section at the bottom of the web page. You can return it anonymously and nothing more will be said on the matter however should you not, please believe me if you are reading this that anyone who knows me well will be aware that I am a very stubborn fellow and I will not let this go for as long as I am around and should I ever find out who they are I will pursue you through the legal route be that through a civil case but you will not get away and from speaking to particular people that maybe the least of your problems.

On a final note as most know DJ’ing has never been a top priority for me and I am more than happy to carry on DJ’ing at the Boat now, and at it’s new home next year for as long as they want me to do it, but I have to say as for everything else DJ wise I am now having to question if taking my own records to other venues is worth the price I have paid. If I am not as welcoming to people on stage as I have been previously and do seem reluctant to let you come behind the decks I apologise for that now but hope you can understand why.

Thanks

This has to be a DJ's worst nightmare.

I understand that Pep has also suffered a similar fate recently, on a much larger scale.

The risks of taking out rare vinyl appear to be getting worse - we might well see the emergence of on-stage security - shocking!

Anyone that knows anything about this should do the right thing.

Our scene has always been built on trust.

I really hope that both you and Pep get your records back soon.

Bad news Kitch, I know this happened to Dean and the guy sold them to a well known dealer, try and think if there is anything else missing ,hope the twat gets there just rewards one way or another its a bad job when you cant leave belongings unattended, also look and see if you haven't got 2 records in 1 sleeve , good look in getting it back , Colin

Outrageous, feel for you mate. Happened to me in the 80,s. These parasites are a curse on all dj, s  nothing is sacred anymore. Hope you get it back will keep my ear to the ground. If I hear of one or see one I'll let you know

Hope the light fingered bastards get there just rewards from some of the nicer people on this scene
