Just had a record come via royal mail signed for. I noticed the outside of the mailer had an indentation along one edge and sure enough the record, whilst in otherwise lovely condition, has a small crack in the edge. There weren't any stiffeners inside with the record though! Is it the senders responsibility to claim compensation? Should I just ask to return and let him deal with it? Any advice?

Doh You know my memory has gone mate, you need to make allowances

Cant see it listed in either price guide

Damn missed it :-(

Whats the story on this? unreleased? cant find it listed anywhere What a record!

Thats just the type of answer I was hoping for at the start of the thread Rick Cheers. Thanks to eveyone else who's chipped in as well

Are demos harder than issues?

Thanks but a tad expensive, there's one for sale elsewhere at £40

Spot on - ok for an over 50s disco but not on the rar.......... hang on that what most soul nights are now anyway Forget it

My styrene one is the black lettering curved logo

Anyone got a complete list of all the northern tracks on Columbia Special Products? Also anymore info to add to this old thread would be appreciated

That takes some beating, when was that Sean, recently? If so gives us all hope

The main thing for me here seems to be missing in most arguments. Check out post 11, theres a clip of the record being played in the Crazy Horse at the Butlins weekender in Feb. I was there at the time to witness this (unfortunately) Now this is an oldies only crowd, many resplendent in their bags, with a beer towel tucked away in their badge covered holdall. This record comes on and the floor is heaving Why? Its not a Wigan stomper! Is it because some "DJ's" ( I use the term loosely ) have decided its worthy of plays and when it comes on and everyone dives to the floor, people think "this is popular - I'd better dance" ??? I know one thing, if Butch had've come on next and played some quality proper tunes the whole crowd would have walked off and stood there with their arms folded!

Thats completely missing the point of that particular argument I reckon The point is not to "progress" to a different type of music but to play records that are basically the same as and as good as the "top 500"

Mine's just arrived - looking forward to reading it

Great record and a truly forgotten oldie IMO Memories of the latter casino years for me, not sure if it was played any earlier? The b-side ( I Can Give You Love) is absolutely brilliant as well Message to DJs - get this on the decks!!

Good stuff, what was the dance floor reaction though? Will you get booked again?

Larry Chubby Reynolds - Sweet Tooth

Without wanting to contribute to the "shit storm" I'd just like to know how many records he actually sells at those prices and who buys them. A mate bought a record a few years ago from a well know DJ for £80 and this guy had it on the site for £400
