Well Dave, what an absolutely cracking tale my friend, proper old school record hunting, well done. Some folk presume such things are purely luck and happenstance, but it's not either, it's all about the more you practise the luckier you get, it's down to skill, knowledge and experience, it's making your own luck mate!
I enjoyed it no end, vicariously of course unfortunately. It really reminded me of my own UK record hunting as a youth. I was smiling to myself and excited too...even though it was Turf Moor as the backdrop.
Thanks mate, a superb article and great great find!
