do you not think that if a 45 is in a bad way to the extent that you cant even be bothered with it,that any possible solution eg..polishing might give it a chance to be played again,and i think we have all bought something from ebay that isnt in great nick that again any solution is a good solution,as for selling on,there are many scenarios isnt there, for example if a 45 was offered to you and its a £100 for a mint copy,or the same 45 for £30 but it has been cleaned up and still plays well,and you only have £30,wouldnt you buy the £30 copy so at least you have it?

haha..yeah similar user names i suppose...sounds like actors in a adult film...anyway,with my technique,sometimes the scratche or scuff is sometimes just on the surface and it will remove them easily,your right though if the scratche is very deep,you wont get rid of it,but it will reduce it,therefore the needle will a lot of the time glide over it,as for hiss,with the polishing it does get rid of it immensely,however i wouldnt use tcut,thats to aggressive,the polish i mention is nothing more than a tougher wax...just give it a go on a 45 your not arsed about or you cant make any worse,and see what you think!

thats a bit of a negative statement dont you think,my advice was to help collectors clean up there 45's that would normally not see the light of day because they dont play,also as a tool to use when they have bought a 45 off the bay that arrives in a unplayable state,if you use my technique you will find you can make your 45's useable again! try it for yourself boba,you might be surprised!

im about to give some of the best advice you will ever get regarding knackered 45's,my trade is spraying cars and my job has proved useful to clean up crap vinyl! fistly you will need to buy some products,that are quite expensive,but will last you for years. 1. 3m superfine denib wet & dry paper 2. 3m finnesse polish these 2 will set you back about £40,however there are cheaper versions,but i use these all the time and are the best quality. technique 1. take a piece of the paper and dip it in soapy water and lightly rub (flat) the vinyl surface,you dont need to press to hard,go around the surface 2 or 3 times,avoid the label though. 2.dry the vinyl,it will look matt,but you have just taken out all the scratches and scuffs. 3.take a soft cloth,apply some finesse polish,then just keep rubbing that vinyl until it shines,apply as much polish as you need and keep going and thats it. once you have the knack,you can save an old piece of vinyls life. bare in mind ive done this for years,and believe me i can make a a bollocks record play and look like new again! if i get chance i will post a before and after pic of a refurbed 45. get rubbing!

The bill Dennis 45 I had was 113 I'll never let you get away/poor little fool,I must admit aside from the copy I had,Ive never seen it crop up again,stone minter too,believe or not I also got with this single a mint cautions and a four dynamics-things a lady ain't suppose to do-peachtree,again stone mint,not a bad day at all!

I sold a court Davis 5 year ago and got £1500 for it then,also of intrest all the copy's have a pimple effect on the vinyl,guess they were pressed on cheap vinyl,however it doesn't affect the quality,other than a very slight back ground hiss! Still a great flipping tune!

i had the bill dennis-never let you get away,stone mint,and interestingly the last couple of seconds it has the smallest of jumps,that unless you played it over and over again (as i did) you would never notice it,then stone me i played the cd compilation,and the song does the same thing on there aswell,im guessing it is a recordeing fault from the actual recording session?

I reckon the jades tune is the toughest on the label,with herb a close second!

Thanks grant,the h hunter is in blinding nick,and it's what I would call proper northern,not like a lot of the elevator music that's been knocking about,out of interest I sold another record recently on the poncello label by "the jades"I know the feelin" that's a good sound too,check it out in the soundfiles section mate!

Sherlock Holmes now sold!!!!!!

Great tune,yes I've had that twice on a red and White Ava label,I reckon £60 should get you one mate!

Na mate no worry's,it didn't do my sales any harm,but the 45's were priced to sell anyway,I've got my eye on a tune that Ive gotta have,that's why this bunch were cheap,if we want the tunes sacrifices have to be made,my missus will only put up with beans on toast for so long..haha

Good advice pete,may use it as a trade on somet!

Everything sold now apart from Sherlock holmes,am I been a bit dear on that price,great oldie,does'nt seem to turn up that much,any advice fella's?

Judi & affections is sold!!!!
