If Only I Still Had

[Simsy]

There's dude's on here who'll tell you of hundreds of sounds they've let slip through their fingers.

I prefer collecting rather than trading. Trading gives me the fear, as records I have parted with have always either gone massive, shot up in value, or both.

Then the thing is which ones do you really miss cos they were good records, or are you just miffed as the price has rocketed?

Keeping it to a few (as I say there's always loads) recent departures include;

Rosebuds - Say you'll be mine (TOWER)

Ringleaders - Baby what has happened to our love (M-PAC)

Pat & the Blenders - Just because (FAST EDDIE)

Futures - Part time party time (PIR)

Ace Spectrum - Don't send nobody else (ATLANTIC)

Most miffed about Pat & the Blenders as it's a good record. It was the one with the rare b side and, wait for this... I gave it away! Second has to be the Ringleaders cos I sold it for £15 just before it went huge. Others less bothered about, least of all the Rosebuds as it's w*nk imho.

So if you swapped the Cairos for a bag of marbles, I wanna hear about it fools! Hey and maybe a few others eh?

except nowadays when you can cut your own records for a few quid, it doesn't matter anymore, at least you can get a record to play indoors (or out)

All seem to be over a grand - some were used as trades + cash for titles that now sell for less than the ones i let go on there own - still thats Northern Soul.
