Today, I suspect will be one big party :-)
A knock-on effect of this was to make the old East Germany's
Amiga state label much more collectable.
Hope all in Germany have a fun day - If you need any records for next years party, don't forget that we sell 'em !

Stephen Borkowski - UK Buyer On the road again.....
After spending a few days at the office sorting my recently aquired gems I was off again - firstly to Hertfordshire where I picked up some nice original 1960's tour programmes and sheet music, then to Horsham to view a collection of Elvis memorabilia. The collection contained lots of limited edition collectors items such as Plates, Jukeboxes, Cars, Mugs, Coins and Watches from well respected companies like Royal Doulton and Franklin Mint.
After a day of rest (Sunday) I was back on the road again to see a regular supplier who had aquired a substantial collection of 80's albums totalling around 1500 units, so I sit at my desk writing this surrounded by boxes of unsorted great product with no intention of leaving the office until I can see the carpet around my desk again!
But who knows what the next phone call will bring.......

Julian Thomas - UK Office Return visit, indeed Tubby Hayes' Return
Visit LP that I bought last Saturday, when I noticed it sold yesterday. Why
does it always happen that all the records I'd like to keep seem to sell
overnight? Speaking of Saturday, Mark and I went hell for leather through wind
and rain to attend the Music Mania record fair at London's Olympia. Having
missed out on our intended pre-show breakfast we staved off our hunger buying
some truly mint condition, mostly 1970's, vinyl from a dealer who'd picked up a
beautiful collection the previous week. Highlights included the legendary Glastonbury Fayre triple
LP, complete with hippy pyramid, along with vinyl offerings from Hendrix, Zappa,
Tom Waits, Gong, Hawkwind, Rory Gallagher, King Crimson , not to mention an
autographed LP from the late George Melly which deserves wall-space in this
office. All these gems, and more, will hit the site very soon... PS we did
finally get breakfast, about 1pm, on our way back to the office. Should you ever
find yourself 'down our way' we can heartily recommend the Oakdene Cafe .One recent item I
did manage to keep for myself is the 40th anniversary deluxe edition of Pink
Floyd's
Piper At The
Gates Of Dawn . If, like me, you find that such packages look great but
simply don't fit into your CD rack when you get them home you may prefer the
very scarce
promotional version
that graced the desks and decks of journalists & radio execs alike. All 3
discs are housed inside a wide-spined slipcase so there are no storage issues
for you to worry about.

Mark Evetts - UK Buyer Rare UNCUT shaped picture discs These rarities were NOT cut to the finished shape and were used as 'test pressings' - a handful were made to check the image alignment & print quality before the final run is cut to the desired shape.
Manufactured in ludicrously short runs, whenever such items appear on the market, they always generate a great of interest.
2 examples of this collecting phenomena and in stock now are the classic Guns N Roses track
'Paradise City' and the WASP single
'95 Nasty' featuring the stunning 'woman in leotard' image.
Let's rock...

Since that time Radio 1 has become a world famous name, championing new music of all genres and establishing itself as a home to both the popular and the innovative.To celebrate this 40th anniversary, Radio 1 have asked 40 of today's biggest acts to cover 40 tracks from each year of its history.

Saul Watson - Product Promotion HOT OF THE PRESS - THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE!
Tickets cost £125 each and will be available 'by ballot'. More details as we have it. The bill also includes Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman & The Rhythm Kings, Foreigner and Paolo Nutini.
Founding members Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals) and John Paul Jones (bass) will be joined by Jason Bonham, son of the late John Bonham, on drums.
The one-off performance has just been announced via a handout given to attendees at a press conference in the Vue cinema at the O2 complex.
Singer Robert Plant reportedly let the cat out of the bag about the reunion last week. When asked by a fan whether the rumours about Zep re-forming were true, Plant explained that the band had had a meeting about the show on September 5. He also confirmed the reunion will be for one night only.
“There’s not a lot to work out as it’s only going to be one-off gig,” he explained.
