In the past I've given records to mates, pressys, part payment for plastering - having doubles and frankly just sharing cheapies that you want to spread the news of...

Then recently a wonderful thing happened... I bought a thirty quid record form a fellow collector.

When it arrived there were two tunes in my package - a trifle confused I asked the seller if it was a mistake (it is possible to mix up orders) or a kind gift.

It was a gift.... It fairly warms the cockles - What a wonderful scene we have!!

Have a great Friday people!

Peace

often had records from usa with extra disc in,some for protection & prob to reduce there stock.

last week i got a rare tune cheap & guy threw in al greene on hot line free.can sell that to get the money back i paid for the rarer one,lol.

but 2 weeks ago the other free disc i got was original version of the lion sleeps tonigh,any takers on that????.

also when lived in aberdeen me & my mates chipped in to get each other a 45 for when it was our b/days.

A seller on eBay recently apologies for the delay in sending out a 45. As recompense, they included another 45 from the same label completely free of charge. An unexpected and generous gesture very much appreciated on my part.

there is a seller on here who i buy regularly off and he has given lots of records as gifts ... knocks money off the price of ones i buy even though i get most of them them on HP ... and the records arrive before i've made the first payment I even received a strange package out of the blue with the sender listed as 'fancy candles' or something like that on the packet...when i opened it there were 200 ciggies sent as a gift from this seller

he is a top man and a fantastic guy to deal with

don't think it fair to mention his name as i don't want to embarrass him ......and i don't want you lot getting goodies that may come my way

I'm all about giving away extras to good homes.

Me too...normally. I have often thrown an extra 45 in for free and have never once had a thanks,kiss my arse,or fcuk you in return! so now i don't bother.

I don't buy nor collect records. Historically I have been given many as gifts which I still have but don't play. Only last weekend at Lifeline, Kev H gave me a record as a gift. It was a lovely gesture and I shall keep it with the intention that it was given

I remember giving a record to someone and then seeing it in his sales box a couple of months later! I suppose he was telling me to improve my taste! never mind it hasn't stopped me giving the odd record out to fellow soulies! I think its a great thing they have at Bridgwater Soul Nites where they have a recycling table, often soulies will bring various items to do with our wonderful scene and leave them on the table for others to take away and use!

I love getting vinyl gifts.... hint hint

And you'll know all about it if you've made me happy

imho you wont find a better bloke to deal with, here's a clue to the name he uses on here

9 letters, all one word that is a phrase meaning, alright/yep/sure thing ......but he has cleverly used a record label with the first 4 letters

your prize for working this out is an introduction to a great record dealer
