yes but they all have an angled head shell/cart.

yes but the head shell is angled on those decks. Straight tone arm with the straight head shell and straight cart = knackered 45's

If you read that link, you would be a bit dim to play valuable 45's on a straight tone arm.

Exactly, all tone arms were angled until these scratch decks appeared.

If these straight arms give no ill effects, why have tone arms been angled since they were first invented? I thought these arms were designed for scratching? I personally wouldn't be playing my vinyl on one. I have seen plenty of these decks being used with the cart set straight in the head shell. Many users don't read instructions unfortunately. You only have to Dj at a few do's to see how many decks are set up completely wrong.

That's the reason I wanted to run my allnighter from 12 till 8 Len. I had been speaking to Guy H about promoting, and he told me a great story about his time running Tony's in Blackburn. Standing accross the road from the venue having a fag on a frosty night at the witching hour, with a huge queue outside the venue. The excitement and the anticipation when the opening bars of a tune suddenly came from the room above. The crowd started to chant to be let in. Pure magic from Mr. H, and that's what I was hoping to achieve with my allnighter. It should be about the quality of the experience, not a marathon to be endured. Just my humble opinion, and as an old git who doesn't do drugs or drink. Short and sweet would suit me sir.

10 hours, not for me personally. But then I only went for the music, not the social side. I used to struggle to find one hours decent music over a whole nighter. But I realise that I am the exception to the rule.

When I started Burnley I wanted to get back to the original ethos and go from midnight to eight a.m. Venue owner said "no way we can get the staff to work those hours" so I had to change it to 11pm to 6am. Then a lot of the punters wanted me to start earlier because they were having to hang around in the pubs waiting for opening time. So it finished up running 10pm to 6am. But as we all know, these days a large number leave early. I think it's immaterial what the promoter states on the flyers, people will use the event as they want regardless. We are [apart from the small young element] all too old, and have too many commitments to do allnighters properly. Allnighters by their very nature were part of a youth culture, anti establishment and underground. Sunday afternoon do's are getting to be the norm these days. I certainly couldn't do nighters any more. Never mind early finishes, what about early start times for allnighters? 8.00pm? that's ludicrous.

That is terrible.

Tim has made a mistake. I notified him last week, but he thought the re issues were styrene. I'm sure he will rectify the listing as soon as possible. He would never deliberately try to con anyone, he has a reputation to uphold and a business to run. Everyone makes mistakes, we are all human. If you want to own the real deal, then you need the Green label with the Blue text.

Thanks Pete, sorry I missed reading it last year mate. Much appreciated.

I didn't realise there was a styrene copy, is that one a legal re issue or a boot?

That's exactly what I thought. I emailed Tim about it when he first put out his information, he said it was an oversight and would be corrected. Looks like someone believes Tim judging by the current bid.

Anyone know the story with this 45? I always thought that the green with blue print was the original, and that the green with black print was a later re issue. Was it booted as well?

Wow!

People have been saying this for many years, but it never happens. There have been some incredible collections sold in the last few years, but these records were snapped up and are just as scarce as they have always been. New to the market finds from the States are drying up. That's the real reason that prices are going up, combined with the fact that most on the scene want to be Dj's. Nearly all the people who I considered dancers are now Djing. A lot of the stuff that was played at Stafford and used to command high prices are now out of vogue and very difficult to sell. Mid tempo, beat ballads and popcorn I'm talking about. That means that all the Dj's want to own the guaranteed floor fillers, and these are the records that are fetching the high prices.

I had a copy like that, sold it my mate. Sure it didn't say demo on it.

ooooo, you can't do that mate. You'll be in trouble now.

Not another of the faithful gone? Terrible news indeed. Didn't know him personally, but the regulars on here just feel like friends. My condolences to Joe's family and friends.

It's all country and western

What I can't understand about eBay sales is, why will someone pay a huge premium for a record from an American seller, yet won't pay bugger all for the same record being sold by a UK seller?

Maybe the penny is finally dropping that the classics [and I mean from all the eras i.e. Stafford as well as Wigan] are very special records, and a lot of the "other" stuff isn't worth collecting. Quality not quantity is the only way to go. The only people who call it "hot boxing" are the people who have been collecting for collecting's sake, and have boxes full of mediocre stuff they will never be able to sell. Good luck to them, everyone to their own, but please don't knock others who only want to own the best.

I reckon it's rarer than their other sable release and sounds amazing played out loud. Atmospheric!

You'd have to be to listen to this lot Tony.

Wanted for a good mate of mine: Chuck Bridges - Don't you make me cry - Scope Please PM me with price and condition. SORTED NOW MANY THANKS.
