What make is that Mace? Anybody remember / seen / got a Sound Burger with an integral cassette player?

Well, even though I bought my box set way back in November from Soulbrother Records in Putney. And even though, at first, I had 3 records jumping using my Soundburger and headphones, all is well when tested on my home Hi-Fi. All records present and correct and as flat as most of my record collection. So, I'm a happy bunny all round. :-)

I'd like a UK copy too, issue or Demo. Please PM me anybody, cash waiting. Cheers.

"Bad Girl" is even rarer on a 78rpm, so I heard somewhere?

That's not entirely true. I have a couple of cracked records that play perfectly well. So they do have value, in as much as I can play them. Now, as to their monetary value, that's another matter. I guess it depends on the condition of the record and whether or not it plays without any problems or noticeable clicks. Mine are otherwise in excellent condition and play without any problems. As for their resale value if I were to try and sell them? Well, I'm never going to sell them so that solves that problem. So you see, buying cracked records isn't entirely 'crackers'

Depends on how much the cracked copy cost I guess. If cheap enough, they'll just keep it if they can't sell it on. I've done the same with certain records that haven't been cracked but which have been in less than good shape. Again, it all depends on individual circumstances. But yeah, on the face of it, doesn't seem like a good idea buying a cracked record.

It does, doesn't it.

Depends on the record, how rare it is, and whether or not it's playable. Will also depend on the buyer and how long they have waited to secure a copy, any copy, that will at least play. Obviously, they'd now have the record until a better condition copy turns up in the future. But yeah, couldn't do it myself.

If anybody can sell me the UK release of this record, I'll sell my mint US Demo copy to recordlurv. But only in that order.

A Timi Yuro IWNBOFM on UK Liberty was found at Spitafields about 5 years ago in mint condition c/w original company sleeve . . . . . . . £2. T'was very early, as soon as the stalls opened, on a Friday morning if memory serves me well?

What was the Chairman 45 Lars?

Aah, right. Well, glad to see it's still in operation and open. Ignore my last comment then. :-)

And I think I'm correct in saying that that one was up for sale / auction on eBay just a months or so ago. Don't know if it's still open?

I thought I saw a copy of that 'test pressing' at Blackpool Mecca on the 444 label? Was it Ian Levine's copy I wonder?

Will you be including What's The Use - Chairman of the Board in this box set of CDs? If so, where will you be getting the sound file / recording from?

I take it from the deathly silence that the answer to my question might be a resounding NO!? :-( Oh well, the search continues.

Did it transpire that somebody reading this thread has a 7" or 10" acetate of the following two records; What's The Use - Chairman of the Board Gods Gift To Man - General Johnson If so, please PM me. Thanks.

WANTED: Paradox - Ring The Changes - UK Polydor Cash waiting. Please PM me with condition and price.

Perhaps the DJs, where you heard them all first, had speeded them up, making the records in the box set sound slow?

What about the record numbers on the label on the right hand side? They end with, starting at 0, then 1, 2, then 3 I think, then a gap, then 6, 7, 8, 9. Correct me if I've got the numbers slightly wrong. But why the gap in the numbers?

Stop jumping on the bandwagon Ian, we all now know that she had two different spellings, the latter, as Steve pointed out, for astrological reasons.

I was being facetious Steve. But interesting retort.

Yeah, that's the American spelling, what do they know.

Get those added to the list Ian.

And with an 'E' ???
