Popular Post Paraboliccurve Posted August 9 Popular Post Posted August 9 'Getting spins' - my mate played it last week to twelve elderly people at their care home, and I'm selling one 'Just right for today' - ignored for the previous 50 years of the scene, but I'm selling one 'In demand' - I'm selling one, but I want more than that 'Big at Wigan' - reached No3 in the pop charts and I'm selling one, but I want more than that 'Big at Stafford' - country and western, but Guy once played it, possibly when he was on mushrooms, and I'm selling one 'Tape swappers fave' - too country and western even for Stafford, and I'm selling one 'Mint-' - if you'd bought a record in this state at HMV thirty years ago you'd have gone back and punched the manager 'Ex-' - rejected as a frisbee 'VG' - rejected as an ashtray 'Over-hyped' - I want one but I'm not paying that much 'Turned up in quantity' - I want one but I'm also not paying that much Sorry, a disappointing package of records arrived this morning and I feel the need to vent (Stafford was great and Guy was maybe my favourite DJ as a kid.) 15 2 2
