Ian Dewhirst Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Now this is what I call a collection! This guy's a vinyl nut. The amount of Northern he has is ridiculous if he's genuine - and I think he is. TONS of stuff tucked away in there which I guess goes to show that there's still plenty of stuff out there in private collections..... https://users.telenet.be/60spop/Index.htm Ian D
El Corol Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Nice link Ian, 80,000 and still rising, great stuff........love to know how he funds it though??? I am JEALOUS!
Harry Crosby Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 WOW!!! some stuff in there aint there, GREEN EYED MONSTER TIME
Ian Dewhirst Posted May 6, 2008 Author Posted May 6, 2008 WOW!!! some stuff in there aint there, GREEN EYED MONSTER TIME What I don't get is the guy indicates that he hasn't been buying 45's that long - a couple of years in fact. He seems to have accumulated a lot of titles in a short space of time which seems odd to say to least. I haven't gone through the whole lot but a 10 minute browse was enough to impress me. You'd have thought a lot of the Northern titles would have been difficult to dig up wouldn't you? Unless the guy's a millionaire of course...... How was Saturday? Ian D

Ian D Afternoon Ian, it does say on his site that his list includes cd's and MP3's so maybe not that fantastic!! Regards H

Regards H Trust me not to read the small print. My collection's far superior under those conditions! In fact I've got tons of stuff he hasn't got! I thought it was odd that he wasn't listing labels/numbers etc....... Ian D

I thought it was odd that he wasn't listing labels/numbers etc....... Ian D Its just a list of records, no samples, has he actualy got them?? Edited May 8, 2008 by Nocker
Guest Richard Bergman Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I think he's being a wee bit economical with the truth.
Ian Dewhirst Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 Its just a list of records, no samples, has he actualy got them?? I dunno Nocker. He's gone to an awful lot of trouble listing 'em all and building a bespoke website. I just stumbled into this when I was looking for something else and it struck me as curious..... Ian D
funkyfeet Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 He just likes collecting music, why don't you just see it for what it is, why try to speculate, my guess he doesn't know a soul record from a pop record, just looking at his A's section, he's got the Applejacks followed by the Appreciations that tells you everything you need to know.

boba Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I dunno Nocker. He's gone to an awful lot of trouble listing 'em all and building a bespoke website. I just stumbled into this when I was looking for something else and it struck me as curious..... Ian D If he's just dumping an mp3 playlist it doesn't take a lot of time to list everything
Our Kid Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Interesting listing you'd need time to trawl through it.One that caught my eye was Dena Barnes - Who Am I,You Oughta Know. Never heard of it titled like that,but does follow the lyrics could it be a test pressing etc???? Paul
Benji Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Interesting listing you'd need time to trawl through it.One that caught my eye was Dena Barnes - Who Am I,You Oughta Know. Never heard of it titled like that,but does follow the lyrics could it be a test pressing etc???? Paul Dena Barnes - Who am I, flipside to "if you ever walk out of my life" great track!
Soul Shrews Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Never knew The Batchelars made so many records As been said any one can list records lets see them Cheers Paul
Our Kid Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Dena Barnes - Who am I, flipside to "if you ever walk out of my life" great track! What I was saying Benji was I only know it titled as 'Who Am I' yet the guy(assuming it's a guy) has it listed as Who Am I,You Oughta Know. If he has the slightly different title it could indicate something we don't know about. Anyway think i will email him to put my mind at rest. Paul
