Original Vinyl Only Ovo
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

Soul Connoisseurs Collective 8Th March, London
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

Cleaning Records
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

Leather Tassel Loafers
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

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

How Much This Devalue A Record - Please Advise
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

Request To Sellers
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
