Great read, well done, pleased for you!!

What a fantastic read Dave, really interesting and I love the idea of hitting on a 'seam' and digging through.

Love the photos too. I'm sure 'Tom' will be really chuffed that his late brother, 'Mal', is acknowledged and appreciated here as the source of a pretty stunning collection that will now live on beyond its home in that cellar.

Made up for you mate, ( a little bit envious as well ! ) Great tale ! 

What a read! Also so interesting that this was a lovely find in the UK and the location so close to home. 
Chuffed for you Dave well done 😊👏🏻👏🏻

A hugely enjoyable read Dave. Thanks for posting and allowing us to enjoy the thrill of crate digging vicariously.

Fantastic write up Dave mixing the two topics of football & music together. Like a kid in a sweet shop eh, no wonder you had a smile on your face.

Got a tingle just reading your story. Well done.😎👍

Wow! What a great read, I'm sure we all dream of a 'find' like this, great respect to the guys who accumulated this fabulous collection.

That's a cracking story. What a great find!

a tale of combining passions and discoveries

Well Dave, what an absolutely cracking tale my friend, proper old school record hunting, well done. Some folk presume such things are purely luck and happenstance, but it's not either, it's all about the more you practise the luckier you get, it's down to skill, knowledge and experience, it's making your own luck mate!

I enjoyed it no end, vicariously of course unfortunately😁. It really reminded me of my own UK record hunting as a youth. I was smiling to myself and excited too...even though it was Turf Moor as the backdrop😀.

Thanks mate, a superb article and great great find! 

Great read. Think a find like that is something we all regularly dream about!

Great read. Can really feel your excitement in the description of your sifting missions - just hope the Clarets find something worth writing about soon too! UTC

To the people who have contacted to make offers on records, I'm afraid they are not for sale. For the guys who contacted me for various bits from 'Tom's' Electrical inventory,  I'll be speaking to him beginning of next week and will get back to you.  

Dave 😉 

Great read!

Thoroughly enjoyed this story.  Thank you.

That’s a great read Dave.

Billy told me a bit of it over a pint at Greenhills and I was a bit jealous but after reading this I look like the hulk (well the Green with envy bit).

I am really pleased that it’s been found by local lads who have been around for years, and who will care for them. Who would have though this collection would be within a stones throw of where we were learning to love the music( no I don’t know the exact location).

I hope Bev has bought you some marigolds to clean this lot.

take care

Almost done! 😉

Now for the fun part, playing them. I wish I could be there with you it’s been a long time since we had a chat and played records. 
happy days

Great read Dave and a great find for you. 

What Luck & what a story, a once in a lifetime opportunity Dave, bet it was squeeky B T in that week waiting to return, i'm so glad that they went to you as a collector and stalwart of the scene, & not a dealer who would probably offered peanuts for taking the whole lot off his his hands, whilst "doing him a favour" in the process.

Well Done Dave 👍

Just to update folks.....   We went back to 'Toms' on Friday before the Match against Luton Town.  Update to follow! 😉

Great story,pleased for you.

Great to see all those stock copies that would have been needed to be purchased pretty damn quick after issue date.
Most were deleted almost immediately.
And how would you have known most of them back in the day - they were not played anywhere on radio or in general (just certain Clubs ?)
People often forget that fact.
Some of those stockers are so much rarer than the demo (if there was one).
Lovely orig white waxed plain sleeves most are in where no Company one ever existed.
AND all those orig SUE sleeves - so very in demand these days.

Superb story and find; enjoy them, they are precious.

Cheers,     Tom.   Banbury.

Always love a record finding story ,and that was a great one ,well done Dave 

Fabulous read Dave, extremely pleased that you rescued these wonderful UK 45s !

Shudder to think what could have happened to them if the basement succumbed to damp or even a flood !

Well done
