LITTLE WILLIE JONES: You're Welcome To Try / When Will / GRC

:hatsoff2:

Never had a styrene Curtis Lee, they've all been vinyl

Curtis Lee exists on both vinyl and styrene.

I've only ever seen Little Willie Jones on vinyl. It would surprise me if that tiny label 45 was pressed on two different locations or more than one time.

In my experience, the majority of all buyers don't care whether a 45 is pressed on styrene or vinyl. So it's not really something that a seller SHOULD state, but it's ofcourse good if they do for those of us that do care.

You can allways ask.

That's pretty obvious.  .. and i do.

Just seems logical to me if a record exist both on styrene and vinyl,that the seller state if it's styrene.. not when it's vinyl off course.

AS stated WHEN in DOUBT just ASK!! Problem Is Half Of The Sellers Don't Know The Difference!! :hatsoff2::lol:

Only if you buy into the myth that vinyl is always the better format...

Funny that :hatsoff2: , I find on 70ts and some 60ts the bass is better :lol: on the styrene.

I love the loud, clear, crisp sound on many styrene 45s when they are mint. Unless you don't know how to set up a turntable or plan on cueing it up or scratching with it then there isn't really a problem with buying new old stock styrene 45s. If Moerer has a load of Little Willie Jones on styrene he is probably sitting on a box of mint deadstock & they will probably sound awesome.

The 45 pictured in his "buy it now" on eBay and on his site is definitely pressed on vinyl.

Check it out:

By the way, he has got 23 copies in stock at the moment.

Can't see any logic behind that. Why should I state the record is styrene or vinyl?

Yes, definite vinyl copy with moulded label.

I agree with Benji on the relevance of styrene vs vinyl.

Styrene can often sound superior to vinyl with a very clean reproduction.

What matters is the grading accuracy.

If records are only visually graded there is always a chance that there may be some possible distortion or damage even on a NM looking or even unplayed 45.

It is then true that vinyl is generally the more resilient over time so care of the 45 is key to keep styrene in top order.

IMHO :-)

it only needs mentioning if its styrene and has cue burn which is a bugbear with some people or an item that has been booted and the 45 need a bit more clarification. otherwise no need to bother
