It never occured to me that no one makes the presses anymore. :thumbsup:

Great !!! But I didn't notice any white demo's of Eddie Parker lying around :thumbsup: sad how all great things come to an end!! Long Live Vinyl and The DJ's that play it !!! yes.gif ATB John

We,ve got to shut---there,s a wagon coming for those Eddie Parker white demonstration copy.s on Ashford that we never sent out to the Radio stations ----just send em to that guy in Bradford that,s pestered us for 40 years!!!!
