Amazed no one has mentioned WAX TRAX in Vegas -come folks get the craic going lol!!!! BAZ A

cant respond to that really lol,always liked the visits -!! BAZ A I've also been in john moores shop a few times, bought a few bits off him, but my mate just browsed through the boxes and racks and didn't buy anything, he told him to get the f**k out of his shop and don't come back although he was with me, he turned really nasty and we saw his true feelings towards us. Never been in his shithole shop since. C**t

CASHMERES - FINALLY WAKING UP - Got to be a hard one on the demo methinks and what a record-never seen a demo-get this someone. BAZ A

eh up Nebraska soulmate -let me know if you are coming to Austen record Convention in October we can go for a beer -and by the way whAts the record hunting like in your neck of the woods? BAZ A I have a buddy who i used to occasionally trade 45's with. I'd bring over a box of good stuff to trade and he'd let me start going through his stuff, but as soon as I showed interest in any record, he suddenly wouldnt want to trade that one... so basically, anything i wanted, he then wanted to keep. still my buddy, but i dont bother trying to trade with him anymore haha

pmed you

lol hello mate still got loads of your tapes from shots and your brothers -hope your both well-we used to do a north east vs scotland c-90 swap lol,cant believe that was 23 +years ago . BAZ A Close the thread now, it can't get better than this!

lol total one off killa- my good mate jeff heads is the best firstly he describes the record then takes your cash -then he plays it to you afterwards -we could do with some of PETE LAWSONS SUBLIME SALES DESCRIPTIONS TO REALLY GET THE BALL ROLLING -could write a book about them!! Killa always cracks me up with sales. He describes everything in his box as 'brilliant that Mace, have a listen' Quick listen later, and telling him it's not my sort of thing he'll say 'I know, it's fcuking shite ain't it' Johnny Beggs has the classic line........ 'Butch doesn't know it, Tim Ashibende doesn't know it, Andy Dyson doesn't know it, etc etc etc etc'

dont know about sales patter but Killa said something really funny to me at Burnley last april "take it baz and if you dint like it shoot it with an air-rifle"priceless .

HELLO JOE Heres one for you mate -little store in San Antomio me and Gaz Simons done really well it was in a indoor market and we had to pay for the records at an exist point away from the record room -i got asked for a date lol,she said i had the nicest AUSTRALIAN ACCENT SHE HAD EVER HEARD - baz a. You're not wrong there Baz, I've got a theory that the more records that a store has, the nuttier the store owner is - they must give off some kind of toxic fumes.

As for the US had trouble in downtown Miami -New Jersey and parts of DC -simply us dealers intolelance to the british collector mentality-the best us dealer and most courteous by far was John Moore in philly [x veitnam vet and total gentleman] his love of group soul and doo wop kept the fires burning for him.I also scored 2 love doves in a small record shop in jacksonville florida -there well all off their nut listening to Sonic youth lol,so that went pretty well at the time lol.The states is always a challenge lol!!! BAZ A

Amazing how touchy some dealers can be -the worst experience i had was as a enthusiastic 21 year old at darlington dolphin centre in 1984 -ater the cocky twat came on as the big I am [id been to my grandas funeral on the afternoon"i broke his nose my mate Pat Brady moaned all night as he was stood next to me at the time that id spolit his best jackett[with the blood] lol,have not had a list since funnily enough lol-this guy if people have a memory of early eighties record dealers was a total knob. NEV will know this- the lad who worked the door that night was Conney so i did not get thrown out ,was heavily into the weights at the time and was a bit short fused lol. BAZ A BAZ A

drop me a pm with what you got mate -always on the look out for decent collections-all about expectations re selling up mate -throw your book out the window and be realistic!! BAZ A Any thoughts? Jim
