Hi Chalkie,
I was one of the bidders on this and certainly wasn't looking to dj with it. I had this previously but sold it and regretted it since so wanted to have it again purely because the opportunity was there.
don't really DJ but still buy big records as you just don't see them up for sale that commonly. just check out ebay and you'll see that it is full of the same old buy it now crap that nobody wants but most of the bigger items just don't come up for sale that often.
In the last few months I have bought things like Cecil Washington and little Tommy at one end of the spectrum and things like Gene Chandler and O Jay's at the other end. then there are things like Jaqueline Jones which was a new discovery to me and I would certainly champion that one if I was dj'ing.
I am sure that I am not alone in this and would clarify that the majority of my purchases now are ska and rocksteady as these are more readily available.
There are 2 or 3 records that I would certainly buy - Richard Caiton, Imperial C,s , Del Larks but not at the prices being paid at the moment. (exception is RC as this is, and has been my long term want for many years now)
regards H
