Going through this myself at the moment. Desperate for money and in financial trouble, and having the actual vinyl isn't making the music sound any better. Record collecting and passionately loving soul music are two separate things I've come to realise - I thought they were inextricably linked but they are not. Especially when you realise some with all the 45s in the world don't seem to even really like soul music. We need the diggers and vinyl hounds of course to find the new stuff, goes without saying but it's partly coming to accept some do it better than others and just enjoying can be equally as fulfilling.... A few people I know have said breaking free and selling them off has been a real weight off the shoulders. Collecting is great if you aren't an obsessive compulsive, but I am. And a fucking skint one. Good luck mate glad you are enjoying the music itself and not the distraction of vinyl - I hope I can also make the break soon, either for myself or out of necessity.

I really like the other side of this. Much better 45.

Amazing - top work Dig Deeper!! The band sound really really good!

Why is he letting her put his stuff in the cellar? There's the issue of both moths and the damp, for starters. A cruel woman, clearly.

Tis a great record, both sides.

Hang on what about my on the money offer of £250?! I thought that was what this worth these days as it isn't rare?!

I'll buy it for £250 if anyone has an original copy for sale
