'Getting spins' - my mate played it last week to twelve elderly people at their care home, and I'm selling one

'Just right for today' - ignored for the previous 50 years of the scene, but I'm selling one

'In demand' - I'm selling one, but I want more than that

'Big at Wigan' - reached No3 in the pop charts and I'm selling one, but I want more than that

'Big at Stafford' - country and western, but Guy once played it, possibly when he was on mushrooms, and I'm selling one

'Tape swappers fave' - too country and western even for Stafford, and I'm selling one

'Mint-' - if you'd bought a record in this state at HMV thirty years ago you'd have gone back and punched the manager

'Ex-' - rejected as a frisbee

'VG' - rejected as an ashtray

'Over-hyped' - I want one but I'm not paying that much

'Turned up in quantity' - I want one but I'm also not paying that much

 

Sorry, a disappointing package of records arrived this morning and I feel the need to vent 😂

(Stafford was great and Guy was maybe my favourite DJ as a kid.)

 

 

 

 

 

Bang on tho 

If it doesn’t sell it’s going back in the box always has a ring of desperation about it

M- apart from 🤣🤣🤣

In two bits ... but fine for DJing with.

Selling for a mate so cant reduce / I'm being a greedy **** and chancing my arm at this price. 

 

Warped, but its only a storage warp

Damage to label but, you don't play the label!

 

Saw one this week described as "underheard".

Another is „books at …“. Books where? Which book?

Now, where have I seen that?🤣

"  Cocooned in its  birth sleeve since  July 4th 1966".   

"Northern Dancer, cult spin for many years in more progressive clubs and Weekenders across the World ,every chance of being  a monster in Europe also!"     Wow ,  this sellers geographical knowledge and certainty truly amazing?

"Close to mint Minus;  a discreet drill hole, the only pimple on its beautiful face, a fine gossamer storage hairline, hardly another freckle to be seen, a split ,Millisecond squeak on intro. "   Well Thank god for that, only a millionth of a second???

A popular one on ebay, " very rare" = chart soul from the 70's hoping you won't see the multitude on discogs for less than the start price.

a good one my mate saw "original re-issue"

 

 

Some good ones here 😂

I also like variations of, 'Someone told me it might be a second issue but I don't think it is' = It's a stone-cold boot

A thousandth of a second actually ... but that makes it a thousand times worse ...

To be fair I have a Tony Clarke Wrong Man I've got for sale which fits that description (bit of cue burn at the start, not the background noise) 😂
