Been buying for about 60 years and in the early years didn’t have a lot to spend. I learned to trust my own judgement/ear and also to be patient. This came about because initially it was easy to get swept away, as you say (I was young and daft). However it wasn’t the internet in the 60’s it was friends and music mags along with youth clubs that influenced me. I made many poor decisions initially but gradually got to a point where I was comfortable with what I was buying/paying. There is no excuse in today’s hi-tech world but I understand that the rush of owning “that tune” just overtakes any common sense judgement. I‘m sure we’ve all done it.

Cheers Mike

Hi Joey, Along with my mate Brian I put on an event, Soul in the Suburbs, in Newcastle 3 times a year. The next one is 18 April and you can find a flyer on the EVENTS page. John Parker and Tony Hatfield from York will be appearing along with Davy Mason from the North East. Brian and myself do the early part of the night. Come along and introduce yourself and hopefully you will enjoy yourself. Just to assure you, we are not nutters. Regards Frank
