Guest mel brat Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Truly magnificent record, but I wouldn't buy it. What's the point in that condition? (except to say you've got an original maybe?) Another example of terminal cruelty to vinyl by the look of it!

Guest JJMMWGDuPree Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 OK, I know I don't understand this 'Must have the right copy at any price' that permeates the NS scene, but can someone tell me what's the difference between that record and the other 5 copies that are up for sale? One of them's got a 99p opening bid and no bidders and none of them are over 10 quid. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Gene-r Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If it's playable with no jumps or skips, it wouldn't be unfair if it ended around £500 - after all, how often do you see an original Salvadors in ANY condition? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Phild Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) I would prefer a better condition copy to be fair.

Guest JJMMWGDuPree Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 No offence but if you "don't".... you never will.... no point anyone trying to explain it.... Just go and read the many, many threads regarding "originals versus boots" to see what I mean.... It boils down to personal opinion and choice .... Likewise, no offence, but I didn't ask for an explanation of the 'must have' syndrome, I asked what was wrong with the rest of the copies? I saw that a couple of them were reissues with the wrong B-side so they're no-nos, and another was a second issue which might just be a colloquialism for a pirate issue, but one of them's still on there for under two quid and looks to my simple eyes to be in almost as bad a condition as the one that's fetching silly money. I don't want to know why you spend the silly money, I want to know what disallows certain records that I might just bid on myself if they're identical as far as I'm concerned and going for under a fiver. Simple. 'Cos some people would rather cut their throats than support bootlegging, that's why! Well I was a working muso up to a short while ago so I'm decidedly anti-bootlegers and pirates, but how can you tell? Really, if there's any way I'd love to know cos I'm really getting issed poff with product that I can see is almost certainly pirated when it finally drops through the door*. *Actually I've got a pretty good postie. He brings all record shaped parcels around the back and puts them through the cat-flap. I think he must be a collector himself... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

One of them's got a 99p opening bid and no bidders and none of them are over 10 quid. Sorry, my fault.... it wasn't meant to be an explaination of the "must have the right copy" syndrome.... perhaps I should have also stressed the "don't understand" was referring to the "what's the difference between copies" bit rather than the "must have" comment.... although you could say it's all one of the same thing ..... Anyway.... regarding the "difference" bit, or as you've now phrased, the "disallows certain records" bit.... again, if anybody, not just you, doesn't understand why some folk will only buy (must have) originals then they never will.... and no ammount of explaining, giving reasons, etc., is going to change that not understanding.... that's why I also said it was "down to personal choice" to finish the reply off with.... the choice being either you choose to buy only originals or you choose to buy any issued piece of vinyl with the tune on....
