Crack In Record
Don't know about repairing but if the crack is at the edge, carefully dab on a small spot of superglue to prevent movement and further cracking. Be patient and careful that it is set near perfect before glueing and always dab the edge downwards towards glue, this stops glue creeping into the vinyl groove or the music will suffer even more. Ps. Personally I have done this with at least 4 tunes that were worth holding onto with great playable results. If the opposite side is a rubbish tune, this can be "braced" with very thin paper and glue to further strengthen the playable side. Hope this helps to some extent but please as always, the decision is yours alone and I cannot accept responsibility H

Wigan Casino 35th Anniversary Tour - Fort William - 18 October
I used to work in Fort William and there was little Soul action there unless I took a few tunes down to Gregory's. The local DJ would play them for me while onlookers watched me doin kicks an spins to Johnny Wyatt.( on my own)lol. That was about 1985. Full of bikers and Ceilidh's. Poor promotion, Clutching at straws springs to mind. H

Ian Levine, Motorcity, Centre City, Blackpool Mecca, And Swons
Hi Ian, Good to have you on board! It does seem nowadays that everybody and their aunt are out there Dj'ing, and was wondering about the detriment to the scene. Does being a collector justify a good DJ because of the rarity of records they have, or the justification of a good DJ because of the formats/issues they have available in their box(OVO)? You probably know the route I mean with British releases sometimes championing a USA release due to scarcity. Also, What are you're views on present day DJ's and their attitude towards the "scene" and do you have any views at all on old school DJ's that have apparently sold off their collections but still doing occasional gigs. Yours in thanks, Haydn

Record Stores Worth Visiting In London - Need Your Help
I seem to remember a record shop just off Oxford St that used to have piles of mixed soul, Welsh Pete used to run it. Don't know if it is still there, maybe Ady can confirm cos I am sure Ady knew/knows him. Pete was a top bloke and seemed to know what I was looking for. Top end of Oxford St. Plenty of good stuff in beer crates, used to spend my wages in there, lol H

How Much
I thought the seller was dreaming, might go back for the 3 albums I saw anyway for the quaintness. Funny how even the unusual may look as if it is worth a fortune!
