....with a scene.
As I have gone through my collection over the years, I used to struggle to sell things when I just had to.
When my business went TU a lot of my big ticket items went and it hurt.
But of late I've noticed it has not been that difficult to part with certain 7"s and that my purchases have been the records that reeeeaally mean something to me.
Don't get me wrong, I still buy, always have but I've been wondering of late if I needed the scene that first turned me on to all this to keep me interested in collecting as many records as I used to, as I always wanted everything I'd danced to.
I don't thin k that scene is there anymore - as a matter of fact I know it isn't.
I think the scene now is turning me off a little as the central point for me appears to have changed - the central point being dancing and appreciating.
I don't think that happens so much now and I know that as we get older certain elements of a scene will suffer, so I don't think the scene has twisted any, it's just coming to it's natural conclusion.
I think I liked it more when it was a tad mysterious, when I was the whipping boy and had nothing to prove.
I think I've grown up.
