[ I feel there is already a grassroots movement or trend towards these records being played with 3 Clubs I know which moving in this direction as a direct "Backlash" against overplayed oldies and VERY expensive rare or popular tunes. No big crowds, just dedicated SOUL people enjoying the records. However none of the people involved would be seen dead whipping the old Hard Drive out when stepping up to the decks

Hi John Me and Rob first met him on a flea market in pasadena in the 80s, as we were searching thru some boxes, a voice said "you aint gonna find no stompers in there". The voice belonged to a toothless, native Indian, looking chap, who turned out to be Mr Hillyard.........I took a picture in disbelief!! will post it up when i find it. Tats

LIES, LIES, LIES. IV'E GOTTA GO IN COMPLETE DENIAL ON THE SHELL SUIT

I am disappointed Ian. you can get distracted from the vinyl

Maybe not the biggest record find but possibly one of the strangest, circa 88 me and Rob were in LA and we answered a local paper ad for "20,000 records for sale". we met a guy the following day and he told us the records belonged to his son who was a dj before he was killed in Nam, and the vinyl had been untouched since 1971. They were in storage at a friends garage. The friends turned out to be Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn,the garage turned out to be their aircraft hanger!. Amongst their private planes and classic car collection were stacks of 100 count 45 boxes. The first box threw a Jades on Nite-life which set the nerves jangling at the thought of what was in the rest.......not a lot as it turned out We probably came away with about 30 records. I reckon Kurt had already been thru em, they invited us to a "hollywood barby" the following weekend, but we had a better offer of records to look thru in a flea pit in Pheonix. Tats

Ian good c/u name The Incinerators. twas easier to explain than the Kenyan massage i had last year!! Tats

Ones that got away... Sometime in the late 80s, myself and rob wigley were driving thru Georgia on the vinyl hunt listening to coloured music on the radio. When the DJ announced that from next week they would be switching to CD only ...not being aficionados of this format, we decided to contact the radio station and voice our disapproval and help relieve them of the unwanted records . The next gas stop provided the yellow page we needed with the stations address (I wonder how many yellow pages have had the record store listings torn out over the years) . 2hrs later we arrived at w.a.n.k or something like that in the middle of nowhere, only to find it was closed at the weekend and the shows are pre recorded. Undeterred we decided to have a look around the back of the building, as we were about to jemmy the window (joke...honest) this old black caretaker appeared (think turkle from "one flew over the cuckoos nest") who gently informed us that 3 trucks had taken the vinyl to the incinerator 2 days ago. As we dejectedly walked away "wait a minute, you might want these" shouted turkle, and he produced 3 old paint buckets with about 100 singles in each one. " I scooped a few handfuls up for the grandkids" he said "but you can have them if you want". 1st record on the top was Bobby Adams "that's the kind of man", we found about 40 nice northern things in those 3 buckets, but I am still haunted by Images of those wagons with 30-50 thousand 45s destined for the incinerator. Tats +spellchecker and roose

"said you didnt love him" came out on a italian pic sleeve 7inch my mate the mighty bully picked one up. envious Tats

Something told me it was over when I saw you and her talking, Something deep down in my soul said, Cry boy when I saw you and that girl walking. I would rather, I would rather go blind boy, Than to see you, walk away from me. bettye swann, etta james, chicken shack etc.etc

Thinking of you mate, you are tops, you always seem to manage a smile whatever life throws at you. It was great talking to you the other week when Karen W made the journey to see you. love Tats
