Surprised that you think charging a high entry fee penalises guests. Not always the case, but I generally find that you get what you pay for in life, and this scene included. IMO free entry events are to be avoided and I consider it disrespectful not to pay the DJ's for their input. Unless of course their input and their collection is worthless - Kev

Any chance of some actual playlists? That way I can quickly judge wether any future events might be to my taste and worthwhile attending.( The purpose of this forum, I thought) I'm sure there's some good stuff on here but I stopped listening after 90 secs. - Kev

All my vinyl gets the Amberclens treatment on arrival and I've been recommending it for years. I recently bought a really cheap crackly G graded Deena Johnson demo as I reckoned it was muck in the grooves rather than wear. A quick spay of this stuff and wipe with a soft cloth and it played perfect. No hiss, no crackle, and it even cleaned the grime off the label. Amberclens was one of a number of products tested at a forensic laboratory for quick and easy cleaning of CSI type equipment. It was important than no traces (and we're talking nanogrammes) of contamination were able to be transferred from one crime scene to another. Amberclens was by far the most effective stuff tested. - Kev

I agree with your choice. Mine initially felt a bit tight across the top but loosened off nicely without ever becoming too slack. I've seen them in the odd independent shoe shop for around £100. - Kev

Oops! - Kev

Edited. Should have learnt to read bad grammar by now. - Kev

I'd have thought posting in the "Look At Your Box" section would be more likely to get your question answered mate. - Kev.

Not likely to get much response here Neal. You've posted in the non-vinyl section of Sales & Wants. I thought you were selling a watch! - Kev

Bugger! .....so I'm too late with Joy Orbison then? - Kev

Well done Elaine! Being nominated is an achievement itself. Good luck and hope you get it girl. - Kev

Cruise Ship Cabaret standard IMO. Nothing more. - Kev

No, a 'dish' is when the record is very slightly bowl shaped and is evenly warped from the centre outwards, and is usually caused by poor storage. An edge warp is when there is a kink at the outer edge of the vinyl and this is more likely to have caused damage to the grooves. It may have been repaired at some stage to be less visible but the compression to the grooves remain - as I suspect has happened in your case. Like the man says - get a refund and wait for a better copy. - Kev

I much prefer the sellers that post soundclips. I'm always on the lookout for something new to my ears, plus there's so many tunes that I can't recall the title or artist. It's so much easier than constantly (and sooo slowly) flicking between Sales and youtube. If I'm looking for something new I might only look at the sales that state 'with soundclips'. - Kev

My Gator copy plays loud and clear. I think I paid £60 about 3 or 4 years ago. - Kev

Milton Bennett is my current preference. That may change - spoilt for choice an' all. Thanks Ady ! - Kev

Email sent. - Kev .......but if you read this first, I'll take the Gloria Walker if you still have it.

Many,many favourites featuring the great voice of Levi Stubbs, including this accapella version which really showcases his perfection: https://youtu.be/mGqBWjMmVps - Kev

Dan, you want to post this in the 'ebay and websites sales links' section rather than here. This is where people sell bicycles and dogs. - Kev

Well done Brad. I hope you get the desired result. Regards, Kev.

I think you may have joined the wrong website. Or....your winding us up, right? Nice one! - Kev

Nice shout Pete, I really enjoyed that. Am I the only one that thought the Magnificent Men were black? - Kev.

Wow, thanks Mike! Off to have a look now. - Kev

Wouldn't it be ironic if the only person who's posts I can't see as they've been blocked, became Poster of the Year. - Kev.

Nice informative article Dell. Interesting magazine too and I'll read the rest of it later. - Kev.

Don't know...if I could...bear... to read it...but...I'll have...a go. - Kev.
