In the early days the only format available was the vinyl, so hours, days ,months etc were spent tracking down the records to bring them to the dancers, and i for one appreciate all of the effort back then, without the djs and record collectors where would we be? but that was 30/40 years ago, times have changed, its only important now to the collectors and vinyl addicts, your average punter dosen't care, i don't really mind anymore either . I have to say that a lot of record collectors that dj, don't always do a good job, they mumble over the mike, can't put 2 records together etc etc, ( not all, but quite a few )
I like to hear someone that can actually dj,its a minority opinion i know.
