What!!! Somebody had nicked the bin???

huh huh huh

Like I said earlier, I have a Thorens TD 150 with no pitch control, not because I'm a "purist", but because that was the hand I was dealt when I first bought my record player . . . . second hand . . . . and I've still got it all these years later. But you're right, they should be checked regularly, especially the belt. I'm on my 3rd so far.

I have a belt driven Thorens TD 150. So as you can see, I have no pitch control whatsoever.

I see what you're getting at and a valid point it is too. Can't and won't argue with that. But pitching up or down? Well, I DID say, each to their own.

Just realised something. DJing - pitch control - often available and often used. Not DJing - usually no pitch control - played at speed the record was set at. Notice I didn't say intended to be played at.

Probably was. But I'm one of those that thinks that once it's been released, that's it, no more messing about with it. Like I said, each to their own.

Obvious now you've told me. Sorry, but I can feel a DOH!!!!! coming on.

What are "BIN prices"?

I don't agree with this and I think I'm quite well known in my neck of the woods for saying so. Some people don't have record players with pitch control. If a record isn't suitable at the correct speed for whatever scene you belong to, then go find another one that does. Another record that is. There's plenty out there. Nothing worse than hearing a record out, then spending time and effort to track one down, only to find it's been speeded up or down and therefore sounds slow or fast on your record player at home. Each to their own I guess.

Has anybody got a copy of; Marcels - Tell Me / Letter Full Of Tears - Chartbound 009 I'm trying to source a copy for a good friend. Please send me a PM (Private Message) with condition and price if able to help. Thanks.

Defo issued as I too have one on the blue UK Fontana label. Nice record.

Yes, I've seen that. But am puzzled by the JAB (wine coloured label)?

What gives with it being on JABA (yellow label) and JAB (wine coloured label)?

Haven't 'slowies' always been played at the end of a night? Last chance to bag off and all that. :lol:

Crikey, didn't know that. The ones I've seen from Timmion were vinyl. Won't the former wear out with use?

When you say "old style acetate", what does that mean?

Okay Tone, just being thorough.

What's this worth these days? I know somebody who has just bought one for less than $10 and they'll be looking to sell it I think?

They look more like 78s and Lps to me Craig. And as such, a little before my time. The Old Swan branch of Music Box was one of my main haunts. Had many a crackin' UK labelled record from there. Other than that, apart from one or two other record shops that sold new releases I can't remember the names of, it was Liverpool's 2nd hand record shops and junk shops every weekend that held my attention throughout the late 60s and early 70s.

How about ABC's Dot Records ABC's Dunhill ABC's Impulse ABC's Apt ABC's Tangerine None of these subsidiaries either? I have no reason to suspect it would be but you never know.

Your confirmation will do for me Pete. Cheers.

Having not heard the Tommy Roe 'original', my favourite is definitely the Jimmy Hughes. But I'd love to hear Tommy Roe's rendition.

But was it? Or are there only Demos?

Wonder if it actually got released? Plus, can't find it in the US ABC / ABC Paramount listings? I knew he wrote it Tone but I read somewhere that he didn't bother to record it himself. Obviously, that was wrong. A scan and sound file would be absolutely wonderful if at all possible?
