Epic do you think they borrow them to their DJ buddies to play I dont think so I reckon they'd rather keep them to themselves so it keeps that rarity going but theres sooooo many bootlegs these days it defeats the object leggers only need one record to boot dont they Mand

Tony ...didnt anyone tell you Im crackers LOL ...the nickname gives it away a little LOL Is Sue coming with you ? Mand

Tony who are we to get in the way of your dreams mate? Im pretty sure your ticket could be saved for you what do you think Tracey??? Mand

Sean I'm damn sure thats not true at all your reputation precedes you Im sure you'd change your mind about your vinyl if you saw my "vinyl" LOL Mand PS I do like what Jordi had to say tho brill Wonder if anyone has actually tracked one piece of vinyl you know how anorakky we are on here theres bound to be someone LOL

Dylan bloody footballers want their balls kicked spoiled divas Mand NUFC fan ( yes I know they re not a team LOL)

Wow!! some great replies how many changes of owner how many changes of county how many changes of country some of the scenes vinyl is more well travelled than Alan Wicker! LOL When I buy a record with a name written on its label I often wonder where they are now are they still here loving the music as we do did they just have that one soulful vinyl grow tired of it and sling it to the boot sale or do they have old babycham crates full of the black gold ??? thanks guys Mand

Im not sure Proph my hubby was workin at the local brickyard his earnings were If I remember 16k and mine was a couple of k p/time the local housing was old colliery housing built in the 50s/ 60s they were rented to the miners then sold off to them cheap when Maggie thatcher came along my dad paid 7k for his! he bought it when i was a kid at home

PMSL yeah so c'mon Djs whos divvying up the dough??? Tracey ..I was a receptionist in a sports centre until I became a notts palais reunion promoter ( tongue firmly in cheek here) Actually I quit this week after 16 years (its a long long boring story) I start work at my local Netto store in august Mand (shopping trolly dolly)

The cost of housing and living is ridiculous these days my son and g/friend are saving up 10% deposit 10k for their first property theyre lookin at 100k when we bought ours in 1984 we paid £14.700 for a 3 bed semi with garage paid £700 deposit and it left us with 95% mortgage (most folks pay that for a car these days ) until we sold it in 2003 we were paying ....wait for it.... £65 per MONTH mortgage then £22 for the endowment Mand

I was thinking today as I browsed through my little box of cheap vinyl Just how much one piece of vinyl changes hands for in its lifetime bearing in mind that some of the vinyl we still buy is 1960s.. ish that makes it 45 years old and the fact that vinyl prices go up and down and depenedant on its rarity or commonness what would be its total cost over its life time?? Mand

Thats a lot of people in one venue Steve all the more for a buzzin atmosphere like it used to be ...those alldayers prickled with electric excitement I would be buzzin for a whole week before the hallowed bus trip there was a pub just on the corner of the victoria shpping centre it alwasy got full of soulies before the queue up can you remember what that was called? PS I wasnt allowed in as I was underage! Mand
