I'm good Jamie ta mate. I spent a month in Leeds last Wednesday though Well it felt like it.

Another one for the wall then Thanks anyway guys

Just had a cheap copy of James Fountain - Seven Day Lover - Peachtree delivered I now fully understand why it was cheap I'd never dream of polishing a playable record but this is so bad I don't want to put it near my decks. Does record polishing work? Hows it done? Will it prevent major damage to my cartridge? Will it improve the sound? other wise anyone want a nice framed copy of Seven Day Lover

At least there's loads of "oldies" that you have yet to get a buzz out of hearing for the first time theres a treasure trove out there

The sound of a record you didn't know hitting you like a tornado carrying you off and depositing you in a world that is forever changed, richer, more colourful and an altogether better place to be (or it will be when you finaly get hold of a copy). The tingle up your spine, the hair standing up on the back of your neck, the goosepimples on your arms from the sound of that long forgotten tune you just loved way back when the world was young and everything in it was, for you at least, a new discovery. The adrenelin hit as you hear the package thud on the doormat as you career down the stairs, the anticipation whilst wondering which one will it be? The look, the feel, the smell of 60's vinyl. The first notes, crafted so long ago but designed to hook you and boy have they, as they excellerate out of the Mission 820's as the tone-arm lowers onto your own personal holy grail you've waited 30 years to own.

Jammy barsteward Is the Bournemouth Uni event in Dylans or the Old Fire Station or somewhere else entirely?

Don Thomas? Thats the Fi-dels See it isn't as easy as you think I agree anyone who puts descriptions like this on ebay are basically saying "these are boots to the best of my knowledge but I'm too lazy to check so take a chance if you want"

This is a pure guess but £500 - £600 if you can find one for sale that is.

Vinyl I'm affraid! I know both my friends would miss me but hey they'd get over it

Shotgun - Jr Walker not as a new release I hasten to add.

Or when you play some crossover your behind the deck wondering what to spin next and you get a text from Geoff Claxton saying "Get some Bloody 60's On"

Rod Just catch one of Dave's spots and compare it to one of his at Stafford I think you'll agree it is clear it has evolved.

I listened to the show and I think Tim was trying to communicate the fact that not only did we take the music to our hearts but that had we not done so much of the work of the artists would not have been fully appreciated. No one told us to like it. We didn't pick it up from so called celebrity role models. It happened in a time when communications between Britain and the US were much more complicated than they are now. We found in the music the quality the artists had tried to get across and regardless of whether it sold first time or not we judged it on its merits and saved it from oblivion. Should we be proud of that? Damn right we should. I was also struck by how well spoken Jo Wallace was

Mines a genuine demo and from the scans on ebay it looks like the lables on the boot are a direct copy. Obviously you can't tell the run out info from the photo and I haven't dug mine out for a look. Mind you the seller is up front about them being reissues although he obviously means boots.

I did hear that about 18 months ago but thought it was just one of them urban myths

yes

I also have bought from Lars without any problems but as can be seen from his feedback so have loads of people. James is right if Lars was going to scam anyone it would be for more than £50. I don't knwo any DJ who would risk his reputation for £50. Having said all that the description of the package does make tampering sound inplausable. If I had to bet, which I don't,d say this was a genuine mistake by Lars and someone got an extra record but won't admit it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Lars in future, mind you I'd email him asking him to take care packing the item

The wants section having a post headed 'Little Beaver' Good comedy writes itself

I've been in contact with Lenny Green from the credits. He also wrote 'Rythmn of the Rain' and some other tunes for Betty. And no he doesn't have any copies for sale (anymore lol)

I guess at 1,649,211 am I right?

No one got a clue then

I'm interested in the different takes of Emanual Laskey's - Don't Lead Me On Baby. I can remember this being discussed when John Manship found a copy of the one with different matrix. The two are marked thus: ARP ZTSC 97699 Nashville Matrix 59 And ARP Nashville Matrix ZTSC 97700 97699 59 Now if John who must have had hundreds of copies of this through his hands over the years only found out about the latter one last year, how can it now be noted in his price guide as the "1st Mix"? I'm sure it rarer I have three of the former and only one of the latter but is there a sure way to know which came first particularly as one is guide priced at £100 more than the other? Must say this isn't a dig at John it's a genuine question.

Not sure but its either The Tremeloes - Silence is Golden or Simon and Garfunkle - The Sound Of Silence

My few visits were many moons ago now, back in the days when it was the only worthwhile event anywhere in the country. Margaret never got to go and we had talked about a weekend in the smoke to correct that I sincerley hope that still comes off at some point in the future. I hope this proves to be a pause in preceedings.
