Yeh, what you got??

 

[yardbird]

Sufficient.

 

[electroplated]

got lots of beatles promos including the sgt pepper lp with all the original insert photos and cut outs which i've always wondered about their value...

the one that always comes to mind is a bomb the bass - bug powder dust promo double pack that often fetches £120+ on ebay, and i've got 3 copies too

most of my vinyl is best described as in 'well played' condition unfortunatey so selling is'nt something i'd bother with

 

[sojourner]

Sufficient.

Well, I reckon one more spliff and thats me done for the night! I'm such a party animal

 

[northernhord]

I saw a copy of a Jah Shaka single that I have on ebay for £140
Ive also got some mint condition punk stuff such as spiral scratch by the buzzcocks that is worth a few quid and some coloured vinyl assorted punk that are worth about twenty quid each

 

[sojourner]

I don't understand how people keep their vinyl in mint condition I wouldn't be able to resist playin it

 

[killer b]

Yeh, what you got??

as i said, i'll have to check... it'll be sometime in the next 10 days or so, i'm moving house...

 

[northernhord]

Ya can still play em and keep em mint, the trick is to not play em when your too bladdered make sure you put em back in their sleeves and dont let any Hippies skin up on the sleeves

 

[sojourner]

*slaps forehead* of course you are! Ok, no pressure...

Nah, seriously, I'd love to see what ya got, but don't be feelin hassled..like you would anyway!

Good luck with the move

make a tape or cd copy as soon as you've bought it,
playing the copies but never the original... (and they call me "not a nerd"? ...oh dear.)

Yeah that's it for me (old people hu!)

Spliff required and crash
dream of vinyl therapy.......................

Yesss, I think where I go wrong is on both counts

I keep me vinyl under me bed, so it's always close to me Sort of therapy, isn't it?

a dj friend of mine from stone age times ('97+/-)kept his vinyl stacked in racks by his "bed" (filthy mattress on the floor an inch away from all the dusty records)... he ended up with all sorts of foot/skin fungus

 

[killer b]

eek!

<moves bed>

 

[yardbird]

KB have a cool move

there is no rush in life, man.
peace

Yeh, reckon it might be the conditions he lived in rather than vinylitis though

Most of my vinyl is at least 20 years old, and I never had the facilities or the dosh to make copies unfortunately

not even cassette (tape) copies, though?
man, cassettes used to come dirt cheap!

(i sense a cassette revival/nostalgia coming up...!)

Yeh but it was a choice between buy more music or buy stuff to make copies of what I already had. Only one answer really for me

i been buying random cassettes from charity shops recently - you can end up with some very odd stuff...

 

[geminisnake]

Apart from ebay how would you find out if a record is worth anything? Hubby probably has some older stuff that may be worth a few quid. One of them definetly isn't since it got coffee or summat spilled on the cover though!!

yeah... and sometimes the tapes are so worn or twisted or have been heated in the sun or something, that very odd sound effects take place...

once had a cassette where for the entire B-side, the tape had swapped itself around by accident, so that the music actually played backwards/laterally reversed!
