Luckily, I have a smallish box FULL of "vinyl diamonds"! I hate ever having to part with any of them, whatever their financial value.

Guest Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The one little vinyl diamond you have in your box, the one you wouldn't part with for the world (or would you?) Which is it? I bought the limited edition of the Precisions produced for the Prestatyn 2006 weekender. Stood in a queue with my feet on fire for over an hour (regardless of some cockey bint swooshing up and pushing in!). Worth the wait though, the 3 remaining lads signed it and I was happy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Margaret bought me this for Christmas in 1979 before we were even engaged, been married 25 years next month. I remember having a bomb scare at a pub I ran and before the logistics corps carried out a controlled explosion on what turned out to be two telephone directories wrapped in brown paper this was the one record I went back for.

Guest Kevin J Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 mike - cant wait to see you in november when i will talk you out of owning that record and adding it to my collection. love that thing to pieces ... and never see it for sale. at least i will get to hear it played out and will dance my skull off to it. the one record that i would never get rid of, simply because it just makes me gitty everytime i hear it is Paul Sindab - Cant Wait No Longer on Kasika. just such a happy go lucky tune, with a bit of sentimental value thrown in. will always remind me of one of the funnest weekends i have ever had. kev Love this!!!!

Mike B Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 three different 45's for three different reasons: Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor - Charger The first original US 45 I bought and the last one I'd ever let go - call it played out but to me its the epitome of a Northern Soul dance record and I still love it. I sometimes drop it into a set in the midst of the rare stuff just to show I'm not a vinyl snob and it never fails to fill the floor Jimmy Burns - I really Love You - Erica Took me years to get a copy and doubt I would ever get another if I sold it. Doni Burdick & The Fabulous Thunders - Faith - SIR A personal gift from a man with whom I became good friends and so it has a lot of sentimental value. Its surreal telling my soulie mates who stay in my spare room that Doni Burdick stayed here lol. Maybe its not the worlds greatest dance track (its a cover of the Melvin Davis version on Mala ) but in terms of rarity its right up there - I only know of two copies and I've got one. A definite keeper. I never used to like selling anything but now I'm more inclined to let things go to help fund things I really want - I'll be listing a few in sales this weekend Enjoy your weekend Mike Bolderson Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Michael Higgins Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 "The Drifter" on UK. Bit of a cliche tune now, but I love all those ones in the catalogue number.
