Pookie's great 7" vinyl dilemma

Pookie · 04.05.2007, 07:50 PM

I have a dilemma (sort of).

I have a whole bundle of 7" singles which I am getting rid of. I really can't be bothered to sell them: a dealer wouldn't be interested, many are quite obscure, and I really can't be bothered to start listing them on ebay.

From being on this board for a while now, I know that there are people here who would appreciate the type of music I'm talking about, and I would really love my records to go to somebody who will get pleasure from them.

So what do I do?

I'm certainly not going to spend time listing them.

I had an idea that I could post bundles to people if they wanted, say a random selection of 10 and you pay postage. Or people could list wants, and I could post them out if I had them (but this could be too time consuming and complicated).

Would anybody actually be interested?

I am damned interested.

I also know for a fact that T&B is a 7" freak.

I say "grab bag assortments" only!

Ummm....that's a very generous off you are making and I'm sure that tonnes of people, myself included, would be interested. What kind of things do you have?

He is indeed. I'm a recent convert to 7"s. Being a skinflint I still think they represent poor value for money but I love it when they are free.

Quite an assortment. If I pick a handful from the pile sitting next to me, I get:

Atari Teenage Riot/Asian Dub Foundation split picture disc
Feast Upon Cactus Thorns
Minutemen
Cee Bee Beaumont
Crass
1/2 Japanese
The Flaming Stars
Better Than Your Hand
Mukilteo Fairies
The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Well, think about it this way...
How many full-length LPs have you got that are "worth the price of admission" for just one or two really good tracks? A 7" cuts all the crap right out (provided it's good, of course), plus you get the mystique of the B-Side.

i'm interested!! i'm interested!!

Yeah, but you could pay £4 for a 7" with 2 tracks or maybe about the same for a full LP...sometimes the other stuff is crap but it's free crap!

Iain · 04.05.2007, 08:07 PM

Grab bag assortments would be the easiest. Then if some people have stuff that other people really want and they are not that bothered they could trade amongst themselves if they see fit.

Everyneurotic · 04.05.2007, 08:09 PM

assortment bag is cool with me too.

Toilet & Bowels · 04.05.2007, 08:12 PM

i'm up for this, and depending on the price of postage i'd get more than 10

can i have those mukilteo fairies, 1/2 japanese & crass ones please, for a start?

Iain · 04.05.2007, 08:15 PM

Yes, I would as well I think. Unless you wanted to limit it to 10 per person to be fair. It depends how many 7s you have and how many people want some.

Bollocks_to_Pop · 04.05.2007, 09:16 PM

This sounds awesome. Thanks for the generosity.

!@#$%! · 04.05.2007, 09:47 PM

whoa if i get a grab bag of assortments, could you make sure to put half japanese in it? ehh? eeeeehhh??

haha, no, that is awesome, but you could make a bit of cash auctioning them off, even if it's just here.

well if you go with it i think i'd be interested in helping you get rid of your possessions... more than once.

(having said that, i should ask-- how much for all of them? just wondering if you would...)

afterthefact · 04.05.2007, 09:47 PM

If you have any obscure japanese thrash or experimental stuff, I would definately pay some postage for that!

HaydenAsche · 04.05.2007, 10:44 PM

I'd so be down, Pookie.

SonikJesus · 04.06.2007, 12:49 AM

I'm interested. The grab-bag idea sounds good. If it is possible, I'd get more than one. A lot more.

andrei · 04.06.2007, 01:07 AM

wow!... i'll gladly take them all
