It'll feel good to have a black twelve incher in your hands again, Mr Gonads. :)




Are you giving us the benefit of your vast experience again my lord  :P ;D ;D ;D

My experience extends more toward black seven inchers. :y

.....of which I have fondled many.

My first vinyl was 'Wild west hero' by ELO. Around 1876/77 if memory serves.

An original Edison wax cylinder that must be worth a princely sum M'lud. :) :) :)

Heard it on Radio2 only yesterday that storing vinyl records vertically as opposed to horizontally is best-so at least I've got something right!-and that for some reason the coloured vinyl records deteriorate faster than the ordinary black ones.My first record purchase was Johnie Remember me by John Leyton :-X
Yep, same goes for Tape, anything from a Cassette,  8 Track, VHS right up to 2 inch Reel Masters, always store vertically.  ;)

Ordered the one in Kevin's link  :y
Thanks for the advise lads.

I think due to the amount of crap on the discs, it will be a case of a few good wet cleans then a quick wipe with a antistatic brush before use.

Had a dig around yesterday and found a old sticky roller which I used to use.
Are these any good ?

The fluid that comes with the Disco I find to be pretty good, by the way.

Once you've run out, a mixture of distilled water and IPA plus a little wetting agent is a good cheap substitute. :y

Nothing like a good drop of Real Ale to get the ears ready for some music noise.
