If You Could Have A Second Room At An Allnighter
About 5 people would turn up to that one... I've tried it, with DJs of national and international repute and it was a complete wash out.

Where Have All The Modern Rooms Gone?
Because the music is so 'soothing' that it sends them off to bo-bo's quicker than a mug of Ovaltine.

Betty Lavette - Let Me Down Easy / Ticket To The Moon - Karen
adopts Pantomime Stance "Oh No It Isn't!" He wants the Karen version.

Betty Lavette - Let Me Down Easy / Ticket To The Moon - Karen
It's definately on Karen - it's a rerecording of Let Me Down Easy... and it's tripe. Presumably he wants it for the flip.

Where Have All The Modern Rooms Gone?
I think in general the 'Modern' scene has turned it's back on Allnighters, preferring the much more sedate 2am finish.

Eddie And Ernie Wanted
Dave, don't want to sell really, as I would have to locate a replacement issue, so it's probably a case of if you manage to track an issue down first... Not 100% on price, but would imagine the demo is hard so more than issue.

Ever Had Someone Refuse To Sell You 45's?
Even better was the fact that Andy Dyson had one in his box a fortnight later that was cheaper, and he let me take it and send him the money in the week as I hadn't quite enough on me on the night... now there's a fair dealer for you.

Ever Had Someone Refuse To Sell You 45's?
You're not wrong there Baz, I've got a theory that the more records that a store has, the nuttier the store owner is - they must give off some kind of toxic fumes.

Ever Had Someone Refuse To Sell You 45's?
Conversely, I was trying to purchase a 45 off Henry Atkinson some years ago (at above going rate but I was sick off missing them at the right price). I had well over half of the amount in cash (say £80) and offered a guaranteed cheque of about £30 for the balance. After trying to convince him that the cheque wouldn't bounce (apart from the fact that the guarantee card covered up to £100) he still refused to accept as "he didn't know me" (which was crap since I'd bought a few things off him in the past). So I told him the following. "i'm Joe Dutton, and you'll know me in future as the bloke who'll never buy another record off of you, you miserable cnut" And I never have.

Ever Had Someone Refuse To Sell You 45's?
I have refused sell records to people who've fannied around in the past. There was one buyer who regularly used to return 50% of his purchases because "they didn't sound as good as he thought" when he got them home / buyer remorse. I was at the bar when he was looking through my box and came back to him with a pile of potential purchases and my exact words were "You can put them back, i don't run a fcuking lending library"... He hasn't looked in my box since, and do you know what, I'm glad because he was more hassle than he was worth.

Debra Johnson - Noriega
I'll never deal with Mike Noriega again after he ripped me off for $35 postage on a $700 record, then sent it stadard airmail because "he had to pay the paypal fees" on the $700. The mans a cnut.

Robbie Lawson Re-Press
The most obvious difference is the fact that the second one has additional info scratched into the run off - "RE(squiggle)" If he's passing these off as genuine 1st press issues, he wants a good shoeing.

Eddie And Ernie Wanted
Dave, I'm pretty sure that I've got a mint styrene West Coast WD of this. Don't want to sell, but would trade for an issue and cash balance (or another interesting 45) to make up the difference. Let me know if you are interested and I'll find it out for you.

I think it came out on Alegre 45 - I'm pretty sure Soggy showed me a copy when I was back at his flat in Oslo...

Eddie Floyd Big Bird 45
I've got a spare vinyl issue kicking around somewhere - if you don't manage to get one sorted let me know and I'll hunt it out.

Can We Have A Wheel Thread? I'd Like To Hear What Was Played
Theres a great list in the Central 1179 book, however 99% of the tracks are what are currently classed as R&B so would send 90% of the site into apoplexy.
