Profile: Hi, I'm a DJ and science teacher from Brighton England, now living in Limassol (Lemesos) Cyprus. I started collecting records before I even went to school after being given one of those old "record players in a box", along with a handful of 7"s and a couple of LPs aged just 2 (in 1970). The first single I bought with my own money was "I Taut I Taw A Puddy Tat" by Tweety Pie and the first LP was "Songs From The Jungle book". I still have both.

Up until recently, I DJ'd mainly private parties but DJ'd clubs from 1990 through to 2005 (with a bit of a gap in the early Noughties). I've DJ'd a huge array of styles in clubs from student 70s party nights right through to punk, metal, goth, indie, happy house, hip-hop, hell, I even DJ'd a lesbian club for a year. Partly as a result my collection is nothing if not varied.

Started adding my collection 25th April 2008. Feel free to browse it, although it's not complete yet. All vinyl now complete along with cassettes, videos and the vast majority of CD albums and comps. Mainly CD singles left now (though there are a LOT of them!) and as they're now in storage 2000 miles away from me they ain't being added any time soon!

NOTE: I have now moved to Cyprus. As such I have stopped adding stuff as my collection is now in storage back in England. I cannot now check information on copies I own for the same reason.

I no longer have a wantlist! Thanks to _kerry for pointing me at a copy of the only record in there!

Vinyl still rules (even though I'm too bone idle to actually carry it these days!)

No Artist - The Wit And Wisdom Of Ronald Reagan - 09-Aug-08 07:51 AM
Magic Records were really Stiff Records in disguise. This was released partly as a joke and partly as a publicity stunt. The record is blank on both sides but is very cleverly pressed to like like there is a recording on it. There are numerous different shades of black, just as on a real recording. There is nothing at all anywhere on the sleeve or label to suggest that this record is silent, except for the obvious point that there was no "wit" or "wisdom" from Ronald Reagan to actually record. The run out groove would suggest that the initial intended catalogue number for record was the rather apt "MUG 1".
