I seem to have become an unintentional collector over recent years. I love 45s in particular for the music in the grooves and also the fascinating artefacts they can be. The quirkier the better...

I started to buy LPs and 45s in the early-to-mid 1970s - and kept them - but took a bit of a sabbatical from record-buying for many years.

Since my interest was rekindled, my buying habits and motivations have changed. I'll still buy anything that tickles my fancy for musical reasons, but if the price is right, I'll also buy what's not already on here just to add it.

I've come to rediscover and appreciate more a couple of sometimes-overlooked formats in recent years - 78s and 10" LPs .

Scratchy45 7th Nov 2016		Cassette Album Carpenters - Now & Then	Cassettes really do seem to be one of the Cinderella formats of the music media world, unless the content was only ever issued in that form.
Scratchy45 20th Jan 2013		Cassette Single Babybird - Side 1 You're Gorgeous / You're Gorgeous Too	I've just realised this may be an exception to the cassette single norm - different track listings sides 1 and 2. Thought I'd done all that fiddly scanning.
Scratchy45 20th Jan 2013		Cassette Single The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody / You're My Soul And Inspiration	Barely worth adding a cover for - the inlay has all the production values you'd expect from a film tie-in (and less).
Scratchy45 16th Jan 2013		Cassette Single Julee Cruise - Falling / Twin Peaks Theme (Instrumental)	I guess I only need the CD single W9544CD to make up the complete set of formats for this.
Scratchy45 13th Jan 2013		Cassette Single Eels - Susan's House / Stepmother	Apologies - first of a set of cassette singles I'll be adding where the slip case has suffered somewhat in storage.
