Owners Name In Run Out

[soulAdequateNP]

I have Andy Simpsons old Charades c/w "engraved name"

His 45s have certainly got around - my copy of Ujima has his name very neatly scratched into the dead wax

Owners name in the run out!

Any more that spring to mind or anyone any memories?

Not in the run-out, but when I was about 16 or 17 I bought a second-hand copy of Marvin & Tammi's "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You" on UK Tamla Motown. The previous owner had written their name on the label in black biro. (It was Cats DJ Graham Warr! - but I didn't know him then, obviously) I still have it. I mentioned it to him for the first time recently.

PS. I am also the proud owner of a copy of Louise Lewis on Skyway with RUSS (sic) written on it in biro and black marker pen... (offers??)

Never been a collector only pressings i have in my posession but it was the in thing around the Mansfield area in the 7ts to initial your tune that you brought.Maybe thats why Rob Marriott & Jim Winsoura along with Dennis Banners names keep croping up as they were big collectors/djs at their time on the scene.

Picked up a few discs at a car boot in Haslingden in Lancs. One disc had written in run out groove "one day this will be a big sound". The record was All the heaven a man really needs by Hudson County. Its shite.

Looking at some early 80's stuff found this in deadwax of one "Never mind the sex pistols feel my *******s

[Grumpyfella]

my copy of out of sights has N.Parker in run out groove. Think it was Keb's copy that Nigel Parker then had and sold via Rod. Also had a couple of records off Mick Atherton (Skelly) that had Steve Vickers little quip on them something along the lines of "steves top pop pick" or similar - not got them now but one was connie questell on decca.

cheers

If anybody has records with NL in the run out groove, they belonged to a North Walian called Nick Lyde, who was a big collector DJ when I first got on the scene back in the early 70's.

You mean Bob Slater surely?

Mick Webb, known as Cockney Mick, from Slough used to do this.

He also used to write stuff on the covers of his sales box items in an attempt to urge punters to buy. Things like "Is this brill or wot?" - old mate of mine took to collecting the covers.

I used to have some of Mick Webbs stuff, got a wdj of Dana Valery with "Lewi from runcorn" scratched in run out, got it off Kev Cox ages ago, thing is i used to meet with Lewi at the Patton arms Warrington on way to Wigan to errrrr swap things etc

Kev said he bought it at the 100 club years ago.

I can't remember doing it but it was deffo my old copy......

Just recently got a copy of the Ebonys - "Don't Knock Me" with S Plumb scratched in the runout

Hi Don

That was summat i did for a very short while in the mid 70's.........................along with the stupidest thing ever, an 'X' on the top side! I soon realised this was a stupid thing to do though.............Thankfully, I could only afford pressings and cheap originals at the time, so I never defaced owt rare!

I remember getting that lovely 'Green' label Ebonys from a Soul Pack and only sold it cos i replaced it with a 'Gold' issue. Don't think it had an 'X' on it though?

I see you played it recently at soulgalore too? Fabulous record that still sounds great now!

Cheers

Steve

BUYER BEWARE

All it needs now is for anyone of those owners to claim that certain records of theirs have been lost or stolen and they state that they are easily identified, as they have ther name scratched into the run out groove I can just see loads of collectors scratching names out as you read this

Im not even gonna start looking for any scratched names through my collection, mine are all identified as they all have holes in the middle and are round.
