Not you, did I quote you? No didn't think so. I think most of us know the difference between an acetate and a carver, besides none of us are talking about carvers just you :rollseyes: again i think we all know they aren't a promo or a demo disc. Acetates are for reference, to hear how a take sounds, they might not have been intended to be used for 30 plus years but many have been and still are being used, proper authentic metal acetates.

It'll take a few paper rounds to pay for the lot. Some expensive records in there, few unissued Spencer Wiggins, Melba Moore and Originals. Spencer and Melba are both on a Kent release though, tenner or so.

I think you'll need a good kettle Rod Good luck with the venture and i'll pop on when/if I'm in Stockport.

Many have original 60's acetates that have been played and played and played and they are still fine, including top DJs who have played the acetates on all kinds of set ups. If one gets ruined then there must be something seriously wrong with the set up.its. Complete fallacy that they are useless after a few plays.

With you there pal. I guess Russ (talking the good old days for a second) misses the nights when those that moved the scene forward were the mainstream. I'd like to hear Butch more over here, given the freedom to totally do his thing. Ady Pountain is another that I always love to hear. Now he is one who puts quality first and foremost.

Think there was another cd with the one you bought Mark, the top one. I've the 5 cd set one, I didn't get a second 5 set one to go with it though. I know of another 5 setter but not from same seller. There's a three set one as well. But by and large there is very little in any of them unknown, all the big tunes from Stafford.

It doesn't happen mainstream thought does it Jordi these days, it is by and large frowned upon outside of specialist venues where those in attendance are in the minority.

Eh up Len. Thar means "you" up t'north Just to clarify I wasn't being rude, I was simply expressing an opinion about DJ's and what I've liked to hear since I was a young un on this scene and carried forward to this day. Neither did I quote you, I made the comment in post three so why Nev had to wait for three pages to pick up on it and say I took the topic downhill after just two replies is beyond me, maybe he has other reasons aside from this topic? Yes I get to the point and don't speak with a fork tongue, as you say I tell it like it is. Maybe if others did the same things would be a lot different and for the better instead of cryptic posts. Anyone who knows me knows I am not rude. Anyway I've enjoyed he topic, some top lads mentioned, many who did make a difference and I can certainly understand Russ' and others wanting a taste of better days when the scene is so oldies orientated these days with very little imagination except in venues where those that attend are definitely in the minority. Come the revolution we might get back to those kind of days when Dj's had imagination and a record was played because of its quality not its price tag. Oh and Nev is from further north than me

Italy one s a boot I presume.....

Good for you.. Zzzzzzzzz

I doubt many that like George Lemons think he is the world's greatest singer either, I certainly don't. To many Wayne Cochran is sh*t and a far worse record than George Lemons, each to their own as they say.

I certainly didn't make comment on the good old days. I am referring to who I listen to today, or who I like to listen to today. If you lost interest read something else, you took it further down hill posting the Kylie sh*t you posted.

I usually enjoy them Benji, been subscribed since the first few. Not all records in anybody's podcast is to my taste but I like to listen to how people put together the sets/podcasts, how they follow certain records with the next etc.

He isn't the greatest singer by any means but there are far worse records out there than this. It ALWAYS sells and for good money. It ALWAYS rams the dance floor at any venue. Good luck in finding one.

I know they aren't cheap. Try ebay. John Manship also sells some, brown and maybe green?

Should be waiting for me when I open iTunes.

Really sad news as said, hopefully he can pull round. Please send him my best wishes.

Do your own carver Patto. You can get an acetate cut with Timmion for not. A lot more than you are willing to pay with a flip as well. Not sure if vinyl carvers still operating as don't use them or similar anymore but there are other cutters.

There is just the one "official" Stafford cd and a few unofficial. I don't even know of an unofficial one for Morecombe?

Thanks for the comments guys, nice to know they are listened to and appreciated.l As said many a forgotten tune amongst the 100's used so far, some of today's DJ's looking for something a little different could do no worse than look amongst these rather than keep chasing what everyone else is playing.

Beat me to it Steve. I know Peanut Duck belonged to John Vincent and predates both Stafford and Morecombe as far as I know? Who played Cleveland Robinson?

Jazzman and covers33.

They are podcast Ian not CDs.
