A topic close to mine and billytheboots heart, for the Friendship soulnights..... Equipment is King We change our full headshells yearly so each deck only gets 12 nights plays when we change them. We always have spare needles and replace them after 6 nights plays. And billys a stickler for getting the arms correctly balanced, we even went to the trouble to get a variety of counter weights made from a precision engineers which have a difference in weight of less than a quater of a gramm. Our policy is that other people and ourselves have spent a lot of money on records the very least we can do is that we can ensure...... A) the equipment wont harm their collections, .b/ The sound playback does them the justice they deserve, C) we have a clean good grade antistactic cloth on hand for them to wipe their tunes before and after play. On another note how many venues change the slipmats...i recently djayed at a venue that when I took my tunes off the decks there was more grit and shit stuck on the underside with static etc, I always clean my records with a good grade antistatic cloth before and after a play and i was appalled at what was coming off the decks. Geeooooordie

Brilliant sound...gets spun at the Friendship every time we have gaz steele on hes next on on Boxing day if you want to hear it played out (blatent marketing plug) Geeooooordie

Should have asked him to put "used Large cloth" on the ticket and put $5 on it Geeoooordie

Theres the wonderfull story of Gilly standing in Johnnie Mae Matthews Kitchen as she danced around and signed his copy of "i have no Choice" it was all videoed. Gilly sold the single to andy dyson then Dave and Bri Pinches had it, they then traded it with gaz steele and he still has it, wonder if the video along with the single would be worth much.....nice nostalgia piece Geeooooordie

Hi Alan, I have one and yes its different its a light green with big wheel written on the top there is no wheel logo The B & W in Big wheel are block writing I dont have a scan at present scanners packed up. Its similar to the Falcons good good feeling label except the big wheel is written differently(added) Never been booted to my Knowledge any other help pm me Geeooooordie

The pinches didnt get it in the end, as soon as they showed serious intrest up to giving the £notes the guy backed off and said he was keeping it. did that with a few others, he had them in a sales box and as soon as anyone said theyd have whatever record, he said "Im not selling now" think he was judging what people thought were decent. (why boither putting them up for sale and then keeping them...Makes no sense). I think the bell copy he has was andy dysons once apon a time Geeooooordie

A mate of mine bought a box of 200 old Juke box records that were a bit dusty & some warped from the states for £20 and there were three of these in it all they needed was a clean. dont know the value but dont think its rare. Geeooordie

I have had records delivered to other peoples addresses,# Grief .........all the time, Mind you love it when they come from the USA as the little green ticket on the front inevitably says $2 for customs declaration purposes and thats what I tell the wife its cost last one was $250 . I find that if I Hide the bank statements and let her buy some new togs on a sat i get no grief. Geoooordie
