Aside from the skips the is no background noise or crackle it plays clean. The skips don't cut out huge chunks of groove perhaps a couple of words in one case and a slight piece of the music in the other 2 cases near the end. asking 300GBP for this record which rarely appears for sale. Could be the rarest record he made and its certainly a brilliant soul record. by PM please if interested regards, dylan Like - last one on here, dont know if it sold,you may ask dylan. ricky.
July 12, 201212 yr It doesn't have the Texan style rhythm section that's required for high prices these days. I remember the marketing, honest though it was, the skipping comment killed it for me.
July 12, 201212 yr hmm okay a difficult one to price thinking of listing this later if anyone was interested, the 300 pound skipper was the only one i could find as a price reference, the one i have dont skip, it gliiiiides ;-0

July 13, 201212 yr If someone has a record that skips I can fix it for them for a fee. It would not involve any sort of stupid thing like pushing the tonearm down when it played or anything like that -- it would involve me looking at the grooves with a microscope and directly fixing the skipping part.

I quickly decided that was no where near good enough and as you say it would need to be a microscope so never even tried.
July 13, 201212 yr you need at least 60x to actually see what's happening in the grooves, although you can see the lines at 30x
does anyone have an idea of a value on this beauty?
