Thought it would be a good idea to post scans, pics, or just name the records that dropped through the letterbox or you have bought somewhere.

I thought it would be good idea to see what we are all buying - it doesn't matter f it is £1 or £cost a fortune, just post it here so we can all see what we managed to get and may a few words on why we bought it?

Moderaters can advise if it is a good thread or not.

I will get the ball rolling with two that came today (Scans below)

1. Young Holt Limited "California Montage" Brunswick USA DEMO - well chuffed, have a stocker, but wanted the demo!

2. Gloria Jones "Tainted Love" USA Champion - label is knackered, vinyl plays great and is in VG++ condition. I bought as I cannot afford a Minty one so got this one for £20 so I can play on original vinyl in my soul do at my house!

Pete , don't know if you remember me saying ages ago that a bloke (Fair Ground top bloke) gave my old man a couple of boxes (at least 500 per box) of stuff which included at least 200 Reggae/ska stuff on all these obscure labels (well to me they were). I know for a fact there were a few of these and bearing in mind these were all stapled at the top of the covers and Mint. To this day I can't remember what I did with them Doh! but I think they may be in landfill around Louth ! Sorry

Half a dozen purchases arrived this last couple of weeks which probably reflect the fairly eclectic nature of my collecting - I buy what I fancy. Piccies below.

- Lee Stone was a swap with an old mate for something which I put up for sale to raise cash for other purchases; he wanted the sale item, he knew I wanted this!

- Earl Connelly is just a great cheapie which I stumbled across for the first time last week

- Carl Henderson is an all-time favourite classic oldie and was for sale at a very decent price and in lovely nick

- The Silver Kings was a Greg Belson spin which sounded great out loud when he came over here last year and I picked it up for a song on Ebay

- The Masters was an Ebay bargain

- MIke Jemison is one I used to have in a collection long gone, is just a great record and inexpensive; I was prompted to get it again because of the Butch 1991 Yarmouth set posted on here recently

But the fella that got Jacqueline Jones for 10 bucks on a 'buy it now' got the best result IMHO. Nice - let me double your money, I will give you $20.

JUST HAD THIS POP THRU THE LETTERBOX
