Record Collections - Sell Now Before The Market Drops
Exactly, so really the discussion of what they are / will be worth is just that, a discussion and not a concern (to most people anyway) I'm hopeful I can hang on and keep mine forever anyway - I'd be lost without putting them in some strange order that only I understand. All the best, Len

Record Collections - Sell Now Before The Market Drops
Most of us bought our records for the reasons you are supposed to, it's just that for some strange reason we are sitting on a fortune, that in todays financial climate simply can't be ignored - In fact, I'd rather they were not worth anything because then it wouldn't be an issue. I get your point though. All the best, Len

Record Collections - Sell Now Before The Market Drops
Yes they are mate - I paid £1,200.00 for Andy Fisher and that was a few years ago, and 4 years prior to that, the person I bought it off also paid £1,200.00 for it (Still worth it to me) This could be just a lucky day for the buyer of course, or maybe it's that the ‘Up-tempo Terrorists’ are winning - They have to be stopped I tell you!

Record Collections - Sell Now Before The Market Drops
I’m the same as ‘Wiganer1’ — I love my records! (Someone’s gotta )….But just lately I’m asking myself if I can afford to keep some of my ‘big ticket’ items. This is purely recession fuelled, if it carries on, I really don’t think I can justify keeping them. I would imagine a lot of folk are in a similar position, this is when prices drop. But I’m hanging in there for now, because I won’t be selling ‘investments’, I will be selling my memories and a lot of hard work that went into buying them - I know it’s gonna hurt….If I do have to go through with it, I’ll be pretty fussy about their new homes, I think an interview with the new owners will be a must - It’ll be worse than the adoption process! ….and I will insist on contact arrangements….. All the best, Len

Was This A Casino Tune?
I didn’t know it, but I like it in a ‘Gregory’s Girl’ kinda way - I know what I mean (Cheesy but nice, if ya in the mood for Cheese)....and it’s got a break (1.37) where I would spin round 1¾ times (on a good day!) All the best, Len

The reason there is 'so much debate on this', is that the true roots of what the Scene was all about are disappearing, and for this reason people are trying to ‘persuade’ others to go to venues they ‘think’ they won’t like, because they are convinced (no, they know) that in most cases they would love em! - if only they went with open ears. A while back on this forum, I actually offered someone to go to Life-line - the deal being, that if they didn’t like it, I would personally give them their money back, and petrol (I think) God I’m an idiot sometimes! - I should have stayed in the ‘Evangelical Christian Scene’, mind you, there it was ‘The Old Testament’ v ‘The New Testament’ lol (Sorry, I digress), where was I? Oh yeh - on this occasion, the said person didn’t go for some reason….but thanks to Nicola, when I got there, everyone outside said they were waiting for me to pay them in! lol Twas funny Point being, that’s how strongly I and others feel about all this. I personally want to experience nights I used to have at places like The Manchester Ritz in the 90’s, where everyone used to attend the ‘Rarest OF The Rare’ and ‘The Oldies’ nights and had a smashing time……then you lot came out and spoiled it - JOKE! (Kinda) It was just so much more ‘healthy’ back then, we never ‘debated’ because we were all too busy ‘doing it!’ All the best, Len P.s — Definitely gone now, I’m supposed to be caring for my Children — I never wanted kids you know…… P.p.s - We did used to moan about the music at the services over a quick coffee though (4 hours) but when you got home, that was it - That’s the ‘beauty’ of the ‘tinternet’ I suppose……another debate, I think I need a ‘What’s ya top 5 so and so?’ thread at the minute Night, night……

There ya'll go, something has been achieved! Hey, but don't put yaself down by saying 'learning' - All the people from 'The Rare Sh*t’ side of the Scene ask, is for people to listen (before they say it's sh*t!) a few folk have actually admitted that they stopped listening and are now really appreciating what’s on offer……especially that Mid-tempo Soul (honest) There’s a whole load of 'Good Sh*t' out there to be discovered.....and it's better than your sh*t so there! (Last bit tongue in cheek ) — We get the best of both worlds and think you should to, that’s all. Good luck at Burnley, just 'hit the ground running' and don't stop......Or Terry will tell you off! Anyway, I’ve got to sort my records out for my ‘Kitchen Soul Night’, so I'm Gone!......Or is that another thread? Christ these past 48 hours have been 'electric' on the site, and I thought we'd all finally run out of conversation (Bit like the wife and I lol) All the best, Len P.s - I'm back on the other computer, hense I can only do the ''

I'd like to think we all actually agree with this anyway - We're all full of passion that’s all, and I reckon that in itself is great! Have a good weekend wherever you go - The kidz are ill, so I'll be having a Soul Night in my Kitchen......I'm still gonna moan about the music though All the best, Len

I've had "Len, you need to get yaself up North a bit mate".....From someone who had just come out a short time who was a Stoke regular and never heard of The Wilton, Keele, Winsford, etc…… N.B - For the benefit of 'two dimensions' - Nothing wrong with Stoke, it's the patronising advice I was referring to.

Yes, it's frustrating isn't it mate? Mine was "that rare shit" ....I have suspected for a very long time, that their augment may not have been thought through, if so - only very briefly! All the best, Len
