HELLO ; MY Name is  BILL  and i am currently a disc jockey have been for 15 years !

I use Vinly still beacuse a CD is just so cold and you really cannot do a mix with a CD !

OK these rare records i see posted on E bay are so phony they scream at me reprint !

I Own very rare out of press LP's 12" dance singles and 45's  that YOU cannot BUY  today !

EX: the orginal 12" single version of Rappers Delight  by Sugar Hill Gang with the long and short version on it !

 

Cost me $15  back in 1982 plus a copy of Angela Clemmons disco version Give me just a little more time !

Try and Find one today ! 

FOR 8 years i tried to Find a Copy of George Thourough Good's Vinyl LP with the song on  it ONE Burbon one Scotch One Beer  ZIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP no where  not even used  wish i knew about E bay  back then maybe someone had a good used one around !

 

Settled on a caasett Tape for $10.95  and i love it  it's a greatest Hits album of His so I have Bad to The Bone also on it !

Beatles Records I have BUT are reprints on 45 still they are very old over 20 years old and YOU cannot find em anywhere today with the picture sleeves !

 

ONE 45 i have original from 1957  is The Platters  Twilight Time  on the original Mercury Label

I serched to see the Value of it today  and WOW  it is listed at $35  and higher  up to $55 i have seen !

I taped it  and wrapped it up sealed and stored 8 years ago  still clean no pops or squeals in it !

In my seraches HERE i would say that at laest 90%  that are listed rare are NOT truly the orginal product but a repress that was done in Early 80's ALL My  Motown 45's are repressed every group  the Temptaions;4 Tops ;Supremes;Martha Reeves;Jackson 5 ;Smokey Robinson;Marvin Gaye etc...

SO as they say CAVEAT EMPTOR  "Let The Buyer Beware" 

Have a Great Day  ;

Bill
