Its been a while


Haven't had much time recently at work or home to update this blog but ill try and get back on the case. Ive still been busy digging in the crates and even bought a few collections since my last entry.


I won a auction on eBay last month for 900 records which turned out to be pretty good once id gone through everything. My first impression was id been sold some crap as i only had 100 or so tunes to assess the auction before bidding and when you're spending £715 including delivery its not good when you have your first flick through of the records and you throw 200 records away for being completely knackered. Luckily it was all run of the mill late 80's pop and rap which doesn't sell well anyway. The saving grace was the hardcore and i found multiples of a few things (10 copies of Bass Ballistics - Remix E.P which should sell for £20-25 each for example) but i wasn't confident during my first perusal.

The charity shops have been offering up some nice pieces recently but a couple of the better shops have drastically reduced the amount of records they are holding. Ive even done a few boot fairs with some nice results too. More on this in a later post.

My best and most recent find though were at a local record fair not known for its dance vinyl attendance. I was there to buy of all things a Lily Allen CD for my friends birthday but i spotted halfway across the hall in a 4 crate section on one stalls 12" section some records sleeves that looked totally out of place. It was early on in the day and i doubt anyone would have looked through them yet so i got a first look and what a look it was. I couldn't believe my eyes as i pulled classic tune after classic tune all in a row out of the crates and into a massive pile of nearly 250 tunes by the time id finished the four crates and the back up stuff the guy had behind. After checking condition and checking out the tunes i wasn't sure of i whittled my pile down to 150 records and negotiated a deal for £225. Maybe i could have got it cheaper but when one of the records is this (Spiral Tribe - Black Plastik) then you know you don't have to worry about making your money back especially as they were all in stunning condition. The records were a mixture of acid techno, trance, bouncy techno and gabba which is not common sight in South East Kent.

The only problem now was getting home (and affording the Lily Allen CD) but my back was saved by a passing friend in his car. Cheers Erin and Chris.
