If that's the case, why aren't people using the low cash flow to 'backfill' their collections with the odd cheap and cheerful instead of chasing big hitters?
Seems to me everyone just wants whatever Butch plays and can't be arsed to look at the cheaper sounds sat right under their collective nose.
I did Rogers record fair the other week - loads of people looking through boxes - but in the main not showing any interest, passing by great £10 to £20 records.. and I'm pretty sure it wasn't because they knew every 45 in the boxes (I had over 1000 45s there).
Truth be told, it's on its arse because everybodies turned into a bunch of whiney sheep with no direction [ James Trouble] LOL
