Love this - but does anyone else think it slows down quite a bit as it plays through. They all seem to. Why would that be? Something in the manufacturing of the masters? Not the band surely? Or is it just me? Cheers Richard

Watch the US demo boot

How much for a demo please? Cheers Richard

Good one!

Quite like this one Don't know what it refers to - unless it's a pan you poo in Cheers Richard

Which bit?

This one is an anagram of yours Cheers Richard

I give up - it's like the flat-earth society around here sometimes Anyone planning to sell one-side-only-graded records on here should please first note Rod's post (#13) about the site sales rules. Over and out Cheers Richard

Dave I'm both - yes, I collect full label runs on some labels - but I'm a 'sound' collector too - and that is exactly why I'm interested in both sides of the disc Cheers Richard

Exactly Cheers Richard

Just thinking how some buyers would look at this. They are expecting a record that is all round as graded, both sides, as there are no additional features or defects noted. When the record arrives they are happy with the 'main side' but are disappointed about the condition of the 'b-side'. They contact the seller asking for a discount - in the same way I'm sure many buyers do when they get a record they reckon is graded too high. When asked to return the record they decide to hold onto it as they have chased it for years, and doubt they would get it again easily. So they decide to put it down to experience, but remain dissatisfied about what in their view is a poorly graded record because the grade on the two sides was different and the defects should have been pointed out accurately by the seller - especially if the seller is genuinely interested in 'customer satisfaction'. That would be the other perspective I guess. Cheers Richard

How would you list Nelson Sanders on Rambler? By the Northern side 'Mojo Man' only - or by the deep side 'I'm Lonely'? Cheers Richard

But that record is not really representative, so you can probably write the rules separately on that and a few others. However, with the majority of records that are sold, I am right behind Rod on this. Plus, sellers should not second guess that buyers are only interested in one side. Some collectors collect across genres (e.g. northern, deep, sweet soul) and there are other collecting scenes too that will be interested in the non-Northern side. Plus, we all like finding a 'hidden b-side' don't we? Cheers Richard

Didn't like the Tokays for years. Then it just grew on me. Cheers Richard

Tough in decent condition that's for sure Cheers Richard

This is one of my all time favourite records - and I don't have a copy Richard

Just under £2.5k Richard

Wilxy - basically I'm saying the white demo matches the original plum labelled issue and is not related to the later blue issue which has a different label layout (and I don't think there is a white demo to match the blue issue) Cheers Richard

Wilxy The label layouts are different. A couple of points. The plum issue has Sens-serif text for the label title 'Spectrum'. It also only has the distributed by Laurie text under the label title. The blue issues is with serifs on the label title. Plus it mentions Laurie distribution twice - 1) under the label title and 2) under the song/writer etc. credits right at the bottom of the label. The white DJ is the same layout as the plum labelled version. Hope this helps Cheers Richard
