Profile: Hi, I'm a DJ and science teacher from Brighton England. 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.
Nowadays, I DJ 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 nowhere near complete yet. 12" vinyl now complete along with 10"s, shaped picture discs, cassettes and videos. Just a few thousand CDs and 7"s to go now.
Currently entering: A load of CDs that live around and on the hi-fi system, stacked in a seemingly random order. OK, I'm not now, I'm now entering a bit more 12" that I found at my parents' house and reclaimed.
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".
