You missed the TNT diver here
telling me all about the time he met 'Lenny' from Motorhead.

That was nice.

Diver?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:06, Reply)

Yes, diver.
Because of the Olympics TNT are sending out divers on their vans. It's all very 'TEAM GB'

I'm all about TEAM GB!

I've heard a rumour you know about 'vinyl'
I've found a job lot of tat LPs in a junk shop, but there's a few limited edition promo 12 inches in there too. Where's the best place to check what they're worth?

It's an odd thing
but sometimes white labels and promos are not worth as much as the pic sleeve proper release. collectors are fucking weird.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:16, Reply)

No, they seem to be the real sleeves
just have 'Not for resale' stamped on them.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:17, Reply)

Doesn't really mean much.
Unless the promo has otherwise unavailable tracks/ mixes, or is from a highly collectible label, then not worth much.

What are the records in question?
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:19, Reply)

Oh, just numbers 001-100 on some label called Mo Wax?
I've paid Beth £10 for the lot because I'm nice like that.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:21, Reply)

I'll give you £15 for the lot.
You can keep the 'swaps' as well.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:22, Reply)

Condition is all.
If you have ringwear (lol) or sleeve damage the value plummets.

You can still make on them but 'proper' collectors ie spastics have a real problem with damage even if the thing plays perfectly. This is fucking stupid. I have no problem with reissues etc vs originals particularly new ones as often they're remastered to massive improvement.

Best example I can think of offhand here is the New York Dolls LPs which sound fucking dreadful unless you get the reissues done in the past year or two.

When I was in Crash in Leeds on Monday they had a vinyl reissue of The Stooges.
I nearly bought it.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:22, Reply)

and then what happened?

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:22, Reply)

I bought an Arab Strap album instead.
Times are tough.

Refridgerated anecdote, male sibling.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:24, Reply)

Yeah
a cursory search seems to indicate an average price of a couple of quid for each of them. Totally not worth my effort to buy the whole box and try to shift a lot of James Last tat alongside these ones.

Thanks for your help though, boys.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:22, Reply)

Oh, the last one is worth a bit more.
US import by a guy called Paulinho da Costa. Sings in portuguese, so I'm guessing Brazilian.

Still only worth about £15 though, so I won't bother.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 8 Aug 2012, 17:25, Reply)

Sell it to Tangles.
He's an Andy Kershaw idiot.

Actually
one of them is reggae/dance hall, so my mum would probably *love* it.

For a white lass from Yorkshire, she's well into reggae.
Even went out with a black trumpet player in a band, the dirty skank.
