thanx for positive feed back to my little adventure really appreciate it . never done a blog( i think my daughter calls it ) before maybe we should start a little section about peoples record hunting experiences . i personally love hearing about people finding records anywhere especially out of the way places love reading about the big finds people have made in the past or even little ones, really inspires me

Well followed my nose and where did it lead me straight to acess to cape town motherlode cant believe my luck .while out and about on thursday Met a bod who knew misterman who had mediocre selection of 7”s in a certain shop , but as rumour has it he has the biggest selection of all 7”s sold in sa in his celler at his private residence . When i mentioned trojan the bod straight away mentioned misterman as the go to person so i showed a photo of sa chapter 5 he said yaar meeybee (sa accent) he has a hugh selection by appointment only so i was like a rat up a drain pipe and phoned him and unfortunately i cant get to him in time and he is busy when i can do , i have been granted acess any time he said , luckily i intend to return in october so we agreed on that , one more record shop to try today so lets hope i find something
