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!

Kev

Very cheap Kev under a tenner it's June Conquest and Donnie Hathaway.

I haven't done this for a while but the last few things to drop through my door were:

 

Tommy Navarro - I Cried My Life Away  - At last!

Brad Lundy - I'm At The Breaking Point - Stone mint for less than $30 and the sound is really good

The Vontastics - Why Must We Part - someone was selling one on here and I liked this side, a cheap copy slid off eBay my way

The Gay Poppers - I Want To Know - tipped by Jo Wallace ages ago, I had to pay for it but what a tune

Johnny Nash - I'm Movin On - on spanish picture sleeve courtesy of someone on here for £20, why on earth has someone re-issued this? Great tune but not rare.

johnny mathis life is a song worth singing £1.99

 

leon haywood it's got to be mellow

 

All rather cheap me thinks

You have all my sympathy Chatty. Happened to me the other week to the tune of 60 odd quid, grrr.

Landed on the mat today...

Ray Scott & The Scottmen - Right Now - Decca Demo....wanted this for ages & thrilled to get one!

Others included..

Baby Jean - If You Wanna - Stacy Demo.... most recent purchase & will have to wait till it lands.

Dice The Boss - Your Boss DJ - Joe. Turned up in awful condition and well over-graded. Waiting to send that one back and gutted to say the least.

 

Owen Gray - Walk All Over - Coxone (£11)

Scat Man Crothers - Golly Zonk - HBR (£3)

Wailers - Ska Jerk - Studio 1 (£12) to replace a battered copy I paid double for!

Sparkers - Dig It Up - Lees Revive (£9.99) re-issue boot whatever it is, I like it a lot!

To be honest Simsy that's a picture of one i grabbed off the internet, but it did happen for the first time the other week and i'm still not sure if it's because the guy decided to send a 45 in an LP box . When i contacted him he said that's nothing to do with it, someone had told him always send them in an LP box then they don't "slip down the sides when being shipped". either way he guaranteed me a trip to the sorting office to pick it up!

Fred Bridges - Baby Don´t you Wheep

 

Third Degree - Mercy, Mercy

 

The Vilionaires - Call on him

 

Just arrived.
