April 17, 200619 yr Collectors wish they were DJ's and DJ's wish they had a better collection. SHEEP Bang on I'd say with that quote, there are a lot of collectors out there with collections second to none, however they're not to bothered about D.j'ing, I know some guy's around Derby with fantastic collections but not interseted in D.J'ing. Thing is with being a D.J, you only play 24/25 records in an hour, so why have a huge collection, better to have 100 to 200 quality dancefloor records, than boxes full of stuff that you'll never play.......Think there is a suttle difference in mentality between a D.J and a collector.
April 17, 200619 yr Collectors! Uber-Nerds pushing up the price of records, hoarding away rare treasures like demented old misers. Not all of them mind you, obviously.Just the complete and utter bloody imbeciles who do things like buy a record and then never play it because it wouldn't be mint anymore. Why don't you try Pokemon cards instead you sad divs! They're for listening to not looking at... Arrghhh, I do hope I'm not alone in having this not-so-minor irritation. Come the revolution they'll be sharing a wall with Thatcher, Bush and the Koppites.
April 17, 200619 yr Both Can you be one without the other? there are DJ's who buy just for the purpose of DJing. Sell one on to buy another. Think most are basically collectors first and the djing came later, often reluctantly, finally persuaded to share a great collection.
April 17, 200619 yr Maybe another stealth tax on collectors would be an idea........ Dont left Brownie hear you

April 17, 200619 yr I would think most soul collectors nowadays are mix of dj/collector/dealer. I prefer being mediocre at all things, instead of good at just one! Jack of all trades master of none... -Mike

April 18, 200619 yr I personaly think there is a huge difference between djs and collectors i know plenty of guys with huge collections we cant dj to save there lives,were as there are quite a few fairly big name djs with very small collections but manage week in week out to play good spots.
April 18, 200619 yr Well I'm not a DJ, and at the moment am more of a seller than a collector. Can I have a pidgeon hole please? Anyone else have to join me? I say HAVE as none of us WANT to sell, do we?
April 18, 200619 yr Dont left Brownie hear you Which one "Tim" or "Gordon" ??? Always been a collector, but DJ occasionally when asked. Would like to DJ a bit more, but am a collector first.
April 20, 200619 yr who thinks i would want to take the piss out of you lot, i love Northern soul and that's why i come on here cause i love it and hopefully share it with you. You all more likely know more then me, but me and dad do collect, but would love to do DJing at Northern soul nights
