Stop it now,you're making my sides ache.This is about top end dj's and collecting,not pissing about keeping the floor full with £5 pressings.If as you say its the dj's job to respond to requests at the behest of one and all,and not think for himself,then he may as well sell up and sign on.
Back on topic in a way.Ian...this question could be turned on its head as well.What if you won the lottery on Saturday,a cool couple of million.Money no object.Where would you start to collect,and could you catch up the big boys regarding quality and rareity?
In short my answer is the same as Steve...no and yes.
