Sella, if you read the last paragraph of my post you will see that it is you who needs to calm down and get a grip. I have tried many times to burry the hatchet with John with regards to our misunderstanding, but he will have non of it. Indeed, he has shown nothing but venom towards my friendly overtures. I even had to get someone else to bid on auction items because he wiped my details off the database. In short, very childish behaviour from someone who should act his age. ps. you spelled my name wrong.

Who are these people? Is JM having a laugh and getting maximum publicity? I find this one hard to believe? Because of the anonymity of JM's auction, he could basically do what he wants and create high prices. I have never met anyone who has owned up to buying one of these over priced auction items. Not saying there is anything untoward going on, but it makes you think doesn't it?

Personally, no to all the above. Don't think you will get any interest on here as most are already spoilt for choice for venues. However, if you got some turntables you would be inundated with Dj's. Just no punters.

Sorry old bean, can't stand either of 'em, never could. I you gave me a copy I would just sell it on, and I wouldn't even record it. I respect the fact that you love them, and that's what makes life interesting. But not for me.

Bloody hell! I could. Diabolical both of 'em.

He is........totally professional. One of the very best.

You give with one hand, and then take away with the other Pete.

Touche

EX tends to cover a lot of sins though Pete. A bit like stone chip on a car. I always thought that VG+ was next down from M- but these days a VG+ is usually knackered.

Why are we discussing three terrible records. Play them one after the other at a do the place would be empty.

That's the one we used to play, far better than than the rare version in my humble opinion.

The copies that turned up a few years ago were all mint, and Ian Cunliffe reckons he knows were there are hundreds of 'em. Think I'd be going and getting 'em if I knew such a stash existed.

I wouldn't be playing any rare records on that. It'll eat styrene for fun.

Why? surely the more people that are looking out for them the better? They've been stolen already.

Give us a few titles of the rarer stuff mate, they're the ones that stand out like a sore thumb when offered for sale.

Wow! Someone really wanted this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381003398893?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

At last a kindred spirit.

I'm devastated, the laughs we used to have at the mill watching you tube clips instead of working, just magic times with Rick and Tim. You will be very sadly missed my friend. Can't believe you won't be there to greet me as I top the stairs at the mill ever again. RIP soul brother.

I don't want to be negative in any way, because making a film and getting it out there is a triumph. But last night I couldn't hear a word of the dialogue for the entire film. I could sense the unease in the room during the scenes that had a lot of dialogue. You just couldn't follow the story line. The background sounds were too loud, and the speech inaudible. I just hope it will be sorted before it's released. Such a shame really.

Can I have your ticket?

How does that work when it isn't a cinema?

I agree. We aren't buying new goods here. We are buying 1960's records that have been payed for and taxed already in the 60's. To 99.9% of the population they are worthless pieces of junk. Post them in a proper mailer with proper cardboard packers, mark as a gift with a value of $10, and they will get to this country very quickly and with no problems. Problems occur when US sellers pack a 45 in a huge box that would be more suitable for delivering pizza.

Also, some of the styrene 45's have such a finely grooved playing surface, it's almost impossible to see tiny scratches. Yet when played, really click loudly. I've had a few that look almost mint, yet click like hell when played.

A lot of sellers don't play grade records, and the sound quality is paramount for me. I have been having the same problems as the OP and have now stopped buying altogether.
