    Hi Steve. I've got one that I'm willing to sell. I'm not sure if it's a UK demo or issue but will check when I get home this evening. Dave

    Great tune. I picked mine up on e-bay 2 months ago, where it regularly appears for £5. Good luck with it. Dave

    Great tune mate. I first heard it on an old 'Soul Supply' compilation "Under the streetlamp" back in the late 80's. Was it a Wigan track? Thanks for sharing, I haven't heard it in 15 years. Dave

    Some info here: https://www.plan9music.com/Article/4325 Best, Dave

    I'm not sure mate - I have only heard the stereo version and it works really well. Would be interested in hearing the mono version to compare. best, Dave

    Is the 45 mix stereo? I've got the Stereo Mix from his "mixed bag" Lp with strings horns etc. Best, Dave

    This is the best one for me as well. It sends a shiver down my spine every time I hear it. Dave

    It seems the way to go Sebastian. I'll do a bit of a comparison when I get mine and try to post up some sound files. BTW, thanks for your input as well, that Ortofon cartridge certainly gets some first rate reviews. Take care, Dave

    Nice piece of Kit Denbo and not a bad 'hand' to be deal IMHO. If I had a Thorens TD150 I wouldn't give a s**t about having a pitch control. I'm sure that the market this turntable was aimed at had no need for pitch control either. I can't envisage many people of my Dad's generation discussing whatever or not the recordings of the London Symphonic Orchestra sounded better at +2 or -2. best, Dave

    I have to agree Steve. I've always felt that Mary Well's "keep me in suspense" was mastered too slow and sounds far better pitched up slightly. Dave

    Thanks for the reply Bob. I'll go with your closing comment and sort myself out a mono cartridge. BTW. A mate of mine uses a top end system with a £180 cartridge fitted and I can't tell the difference between the 45's he records for me (in stereo) and the ones I produce with my mono conveter and a Stanton D500 cartridge/stylus. . Thanks to everyone for their replies & input. Happy ripping Dave

    You can make an Mp3 from a 2 channel mono recording (if that makes sense). If you try to Mp3 the one channel (I suppose 'true') mono file the resulting sound file simply comes out as white noise. I do find that the converter box saves a lot of mucking around and prefer converting to mono at source. Best, Dave

    Hi Sebastian. I think what Boba means is playing 45's that are worn or sound distorted (and several of my mint condition 45's do) through either a mono or stereo stylus can improve the playback quality. I appreciate your comments on upgrading my cartridge and stylus but is there really enough resolution in most of those old records/recordings to warrant spending so much? I am currently using a Stanton D500 sytylus and cartridge and really can't see any enough improvement in sound quality to justify spending so much on a stylus,but I do have an open mind. Best, Dave

    There you go.. https://stores.ebay.co.uk/GET-THE-NEEDLE-Record-Player-Stylus?_trksid=p4340.l2563 Take care, Dave

    Hi Paul. I get mine from the same seller. Great prices and service. Dave
  17. Only Dreaming
    Thanks for your advice Bob. I'll e-mail the sites you suggested. As for using Cooledit pro to convert from stereo to mono, It works perfectly but the (one channel/waveform) mono wave does not convert to MP3 via EAC and Lame. Just to clarify, the stereo to mono converter box still gives me a left and right channel/waveform but they are both mono, if that makes sense. In my experience mixing stereo to mono eliminates 90% of the distortion from a typical mono 45 that I have. I use a Stanton D500 stylus but maybe the distortion would be less using a different stylus. Thanks. Dave

    Cheers Steve. I have tried recording my mono 45's in stereo but was getting a lot of distortion. This was pretty bad as I listen through headphones quite a lot. I also use cooledit pro which is a great piece of software. Boba, I don't have a mono stylus, rather I use a converter box between my turntable/preamp and digital recorder which mixes my stereo cartridge output down to mono . Do you think it's worth my time buying a mono cartridges? Also, do you know of any good Web resources for stylus?

    Hi all. I'm currently in the process of digitising my vinyl collection. I would say that about 90% of my collection are mono recordings. Should I record them in stereo or mono? Your thoughts would be most welcome, especially the pros and cons of either format. Obviously the remaining 10% that are stereo will be recorded & archived as such. Thanks, Dave

    And to think I was surprised when my boot sold for £22 a few years ago! Be careful out there, Dave
  21. Only Dreaming
    Nice one Chris. I sold mine about a year ago for £10, which is what i paid for it. Dave
  22. Only Dreaming
    The reissue tends to hang around the £10 mark on ebay. Are all the Pookie Hudson reissues styrene? I noticed that my Mark Jackson reissue is vinyl. Dave
  23. Only Dreaming
    SORTED NOW thanks for all the replies. Dave
  24. Only Dreaming
    In vg++ condition at a reasonable price, Thanks, Dave
  25. Only Dreaming
    Thanks Guys. The artists were Lloyd Price and Malcolm Hayes. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to jog my memory. Gareth, I'll check out the Will-O-Bees version. Best, Dave
