    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.
  12. Quinvy
    The girl singer is gorgeous, but that's beside the point. The sound isn't mixed very well. You can hardly hear her or the brass section. If the sound was mixed properly I'm sure they could sound really good.
  13. Quinvy
    Hear hear, sounds great. Better than most things I've been sold as VG+ or even EX+ In fact I've given up buying at the moment as I'm sick of sending stuff back that hasn't been play graded, and some that have but have been over graded.
  14. Quinvy
    I personally wouldn't give a tenner for it. I couldn't stand to play it because of all the background noise, and it doesn't even look good for display. I think if a minty demo ever came up for sale, you could retire on the proceeds.
  15. Quinvy
    This one could use a little rubbing down with wet and dry.
  16. Quinvy
    Manship price guide states: £3500 for an issue & £4000 for the demo.

    I've been second highest bidder on the last two of these on eBay. I'm very tempted, but my business is struggling at the moment,
  18. Quinvy
    Went round in person, but the owner is never there. He owns six cinemas and is involved in other business. The manager gave me the email address. Just been round there again and spoken to a nice young woman who was far more helpful than the manager, but apparently the owner is a very hard man to track down. I will keep trying, but time is running out.

    I have been trying to organise a screening at the Plaza Cinema in Skipton in North Yorkshire. It's a small old school type cinema that would suit the film perfectly. Problem is I can't get in touch with the owner, who won't answer my emails.

    Polishing records is ok in theory, if you are doing it for your personal collection. Problems arise when people sell these records on as being in EX condition. If you tilt them to the light you can see the very strange effect of the grooves. I have been sold loads of them, and they never sound right. I always send them straight back and ask for a refund.
  21. Quinvy
    I agree with the earlier posters myself, PS is just too long and actually starts to irritate me with that messy middle section. Less is more.
  22. Quinvy
    Very strange record and one that I can never get to love, but it's nearly brilliant. Ester Grant is another one. First time I heard it I thought what a messy racket. Twelve months later and I'm up dancing to it. Love it now.
  23. Quinvy
    This is just another way of polishing a record. There's loads around and I hate them. Just don't sound right to me.
  24. Quinvy
    Karl Heard used to play it quite a lot.
  25. Quinvy
    FB on Gamble is amazing price. I can remember struggling to get rid of a copy. So much so I would never buy another in case I got stuck with it.
