  1. My honest advice about London record shops is don't waste your time, forget about records and enjoy London for a week Not unless you are happy to pay top prices and often for overgraded discs There are better options for record shops in almost any other major city of the UK except London.
  2. Interesting. The fact that both are different makes me think it was maybe some sort of happy accident like they dropped some channels out.
  3. I just listened to my UK copy of 'every day' that I've had kicking around for a while and noticed its a completely different version with the backing vocals either removed or completely taken out, no bongos, other instruments are different, it was a great track anyway but this version is MUCH better to my ears. I guess this is old news to many but just wanted to post about it in case it's new to anyone else!
  4. I noticed on rnb wants and valuations he posted a disc up asking for a value, someone expressed an interest and straight away he posted his price. What was the point in asking for a price when he knew it? Dodgy AF.
  5. I stand corrected but its a different pressing to the discogs entry as its clearly a different label with GMP below Victor not above but as pointed out reissue has a different cat number.
  6. Didn't it get popular after it was used in a KFC advert in the early 2000s?
  7. 1972 reissue sells for £60 on average on discogs in VG+ as your copy looks to be.
  8. The record dealer was probably just talking bollocks, dealers are well known for all this 'nudge nudge wink wink' stuff, especially NS dealers, they are the worst at talking in riddles and testing people's knowledge when half the time they are just regurgitating nonsense. I dread it at fairs when I start looking through the records of a 'talkative' dealer. You know the sort, inevitably they start providing a running commentary on any record you look at for more than one second - 'well you know who that really is don't you'...'of course you know the story about that one don't you'...nudge nudge wink wink...
  9. Hi can anyone help me out with a current value for this? CBS issue Thanks a lot Rob
  10. Fairs are full of bootleg LPs and reissues these days or bargain bin LPs It's few and far between you hit the jackpot these days, which is some old guy who's, say, a rock n roll specialist and knows and cares nothing about other genres and massively underprices stuff he knows nothing about.
  11. I once got called a shit DJ because I wouldn't play Blue Monday by New Order. Seriously out of dozens of requests I've only ever had 2 or 3 sensible ones, it makes me cringe to think how annoying I must have been when I used to bother DJs with requests when I was younger. I just politely decline these days but if they persist I tell them to fuck off and find a pub with a Juke box and put on whatever they want.
  12. Why is it greedy to get the maximum profit you can for something you're selling? Only one thing drives prices - supply and demand.
