I hope the records were insured. Not that they would be able to be replaced, but still. If progress is made and the records are recovered, that would be the best outcome.

Such a shocking act and I struggle to wonder that someone with some scene knowledge could sanction such an act. All the recipient could do is to keep them, as selling or playing them out are not an option. Buying pressings might have worked better.

 I’m glad you are okay Ted and I sincerely hope you can remain mentally strong and not suffer anymore than you already have.

If you need anything, say the word.

It's been there for a couple of days and, like a number of other pieces of online reporting around this incident, its journalistic accuracy is crap. This piece states "...the thieves took his extensive record collection."

No, they didn't. They took two boxes. Get your facts straight, NME!

I think on this occasion Russ, better to over-report than not at all. If it were one taken it would still feel like shit.

Total sympathies for Ted - an unimaginable experience and loss.  Lets just hope these records somehow get returned and it doesn't put Ted off doing what he does best and sharing them with crowds around the country. Whoever is behind this or is tempted to keep quiet if anything comes their way has in some way attacked the whole scene... we have probably lost the opportunity to ever listen or dance to some of these records at a proper event. Every one will be even more nervous regarding their own collections. DJ's will have to be on their guard to and from events etc...

Hi Ted

 

If there is any positive from this i would say these have been stolen to sell or to fit in some piece of shitz collection either way they are gonna be looked after they will not want to damage them they obviously know there value. 

Hopefully the Law catch up with these pricks and retrieve them soon , stay strong.

Dave.

Just be aware not everyone thinks like soul / record collectors - it maybe there’s so much heat on the records they have been dumped, the list of records stolen has been made public so all the 4K plus records get rid - and bleed the 1k - 3k back through numerous sales sites. 🤔🤔

So many scumbags out there just to ruin people lives 

quite sometime ago at a local  soul nite I had two rare records stolen 

Terri Goodnight on Phelecton

and Johnny Hampton on Dotty , both are rare and extremely expensive.

Hi Ted

i had all my records stolen at a "Rhyl" all dayer in fact it was one of the catalysts for me leaving the scene.

i did manage to get them back after giving a cast iron guarantee that they would not be prosecuted and it was all arranged through a third party.

It broke my heart and cost me about 25% of what the box of 150 records was worth but what is the alternative to see your years of toil and collecting go down the drain.

I funded it by selling 4 or 5 of my top tunes to save the rest, I still don't know to this day who was behind it but the mental turmoil between right and wrong tore me up and still does to this day.

i sincerely hope you have a happy outcome but somebody knows and an offer like mine however repugnant to some might just work. 

And yes you guessed it I never got them back

It definitely takes the wind out of your sails…

Liabilities and fear of theft are a millstone. There is no justification or excuse for theft, especially these records. They are a part of us and our life’s work. 40 years, non stop, I did this. Those who can’t work for their wares, but steal them, have gained no value, even the cash when sold is cursed.  Karma is real. 
Someday these vermin will regret it.

Hope you are right about Karma. These ba---ard- deserve it !

How will they shift big ticket numbers without being noticed...They have got to have been nicked to order from another collector.
