You’ve all missed the best one: Jackie Beavers - I need my baby/ a love that never grows old - Revilot

On the Fantastic Four, I asked Tim. apparently someone bid on it by mistake, instead of Minnie Jones. so there were no bids on the Fantastic Four.

What’s SPG?

Most of these records are acetates with unknown artists.

Can anyone help please? A while ago, someone put a tune up on this forum. Male vocal, 60’s. Only a cheapie, but the backing track was almost identical to the great Mr Lucky, Born to Love You, mega rarity. I meant to get a copy at the time, but have totally forgotten about it, and can’t for the life in me remember what it was. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m sure that an email to Craig would provide the answers.

On the other side of the coin though. Discogs is responsible for a race to the bottom for prices of common records. Every seller has to beat the competition in order to generate sales. At that end of the market, it really is a buyers market.

Why are you calling everyone mush, Mush?

😂😂Very good Rod. 👏👏

I only ever saw this happen once, and I won’t mention the person’s name, because his set was totally ruined by the tone arms constantly jumping on the records.

How the heck do you change the carts/head shells and set them up, at an event? It’s dark, and you’ve only got three minutes max?

Yup, seen loads of dealers using those.

Well I don’t know what’s happening there then. When I clean records they end up sparkling.

This fits in with my own personal findings, and it’s not just confined to dealers either. The decks and PA at many events is also either of terrible quality, or badly set up. Makes me cringe thinking of the damage being done to some incredibly rare vinyl, and to peoples hearing.

Once you get to the classics, most aren’t rare, but are so popular that everyone wants to own them. Therefore they become scarce to obtain, but will be plentiful in Dj boxes and collections.

Apologies for going off topic a bit. I agree. When I used to go out regularly, I could hear when someone was playing a carver or boot. The quality just dropped. In my humble opinion, digitisation of music has been the worst thing to have happened. I can hear the difference when MP3’s are played. I refuse to use them and record all my vinyl onto WAV files. I’ve never tried playing my files through a big system, but would be interested in hearing it in comparison to playing vinyl.

They have been skimmed, or polished. A disgusting practice, where knackered records have the surface removed with a light abrasive surface while being spun. I’ve had loads over the years. I just send them back straight away.

I’ve remembered number two, Barbara and the believers on Capitol. Sorted now thanks. 👍

Many thanks Alan, much appreciated.

So I've been trawling through my minidiscs today. Old recordings of my vinyl from years ago. I've tried Shazam, but just can't remember who these two are by. Any help would be appreciated. Mystery 1 _1.mp3 Mystery 2 _1.mp3

Thanks Mike. Nobody could get it, tried shazam etc Not really soul, but very catchy. 👏👏👏

Just going through loads of old minidiscs, and can't remember anything about this track. Sounds like a Carolinas thing? Mystery 1 .wav

The original copy was in Andy Killick's possession last time I heard it played out. [Burnley allnighter]

For anyone who loves this track as much as I do. I never knew this existed until yesterday. WILLIE HARPER - HERE COMES THE HURT AGAIN - on a 7” single. Backed by the Lee Dorsey version on the flip!!!! Cheapest I’ve found is on Discogs.

This is Tim’s answer to the warp questions. It has a slight edge warp. Jonathon stated it was there when he bought it...but from where it came i dont know. The chip shop story is not that record ..its the Jades.Manships assertion that it doesnt play is incorrect, i once played it at the Ritz Rarest of the Rare allnighter. Lee Jeffries bought the 2nd copy ex Burrell that Kenny let Frank write all over.
