Barry Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 As well as having to endure the pain of parting with a lot of hard earned for stuff these days, I get so much fantastic stuff just hoovering up 99p unknowns (well, to me) on Ebay. For a £20 punt, you can have 15 7"s brought to yer door - and working on the knowledge of labels, artists etc it's very rare I get a duff track. The trepidation of sitting in front of yer deck with a handful of unknowns is worth the £20 alone.
Souljazera Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 couldnt agree more barry...much more exciting..
Barry Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 couldnt agree more barry...much more exciting.. And some of the packs you can pick up for £5/£6 delivered - feckin' wonderful!!! Even if you get an out and out duffer, it's worth the quid for the label artwork.
Sweeney Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I got a record through the post today and the seller had used a copy of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" on Hi as an envelope stiffener. Admittedly it was in pretty shocking condition, but it did make me think that this fantastic piece of soul was probably far better than the record I'd purchased and I'm ashamed to admit I don't own a decent copy of the Al Green disc. Sometimes in our search for the rare and esoteric we overlook fantastic cheap records.
