” i hope to use the money to visit my cousin gilly who fell off a ladder this weekend and didn’t remember my name on the phone this morning thanks god bless ”
This is some of the greatest writing I ever read. The rest of the greatest writing I ever read is the rest of the ad.
It sure does, and astonishingly it may not actually be the original sleeve either! It is kind of touching that the guy is requesting people send him personal stories of how much the music means to them on an ebay listing though.
At the bottom of the listing you can see the other records this idiot is selling (or trying to sell). Bizarrely, he’s displaying some picture sleeve singles inside plain white generic covers, hiding all but the part visible through the centre hole.
I guess he bought them that way at a car boot sale or thrift store and stupidly believes that’s the way they were originally sold.
And throughout it all there’s that ever-present (and a little creepy) hand.
Bloody hell, does he sell any of this stuff? That’s £25 for that Doors single. Feeling the need to dig out my vinly and get it flogged while it’s still trendy. Should I have kept my cassettes?
Let’s at this stage thank Mrs B for introducing the new Afterwordword “vinly”, which will henceforth have universal application as an improvement on LP, album, record, and who knows, probably CD and mp3 too.
Marvellous. I bought a Su Pollard CD just the other week. She is fab.

A hundred quids for twelve albums – including such rarities as Rumours, Brothers in Arms, Off The Wall and Queen’s Greatest Hits. The LA Woman looks absolutely shagged (ahem).

The ending is indeed the best bit. Thanks for giving it away!

That’s your mum, that it

Too late, you blew it.
That’s what HP’s mum said
Personally I rate Michael Jaksins way above Prnice
I saw a beard with a record bag arrow straight towards a Wacko J. record in an Oxy the other day.
Not a Scooby. Bless.
Will 2016 never stop taking those we love too soon? Let us all pray for Gilly’s speedy recovery.
Serves him right for jamming good with Weird (and Gilly)
I thought you might have been referring to this item.

Hurrah for vinly!
There are currently 291 items listed on ebay uk in ‘music’ with the word ‘vinly’ in the title. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Music-/11233/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=vinly&rt=nc
They’ve been pretty thinyl disguised.
Or possibly this. No idea what you would use it for.

Craigslist maintains a list of some pretty hilarious ads posted on their site .. https://www.craigslist.org/about/best/all …
Anyway enough of that, I’m off now to gaze at a vegan hamster – http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/bnd/5441442816.html
$49.00 for a knackered Doors 7″ single “not suitable for playing”? Nice hand model though.

I thought doors were usually knockered.
Oho!
It’s in mint condition though (it’s got a hole in the middle).
The sleeve really sets it off nicely I think

It’s a seller’s market for vinly right now, so don’t hang around. And yes, keep hold of those tapes, just in case.
I bought a Round The Horne 2 x cassette set just the other week. I’m always ahead of the pack when it comes to setting trends.
Ooohhhh, innee bolllld!

Long live the vinly!
To be completely a la mode shouldn’t the correct usage be ‘vinlys’?
🙂
How about these beauties? Call now to “secure” them! https://www.gumtree.com/p/vinyl/a-bundled-collection-of-21-vinyl-mostly-lp-records/1165140511
(I’ve heard that Christmas one, it’s shit).
Have you been taking pictures through Beany’s living room window again?
Haha!
I feel sorry for the seller, for their failed efforts to sell these gems individually. “Own a bit of history”, bless.
Marvellous. I bought a Su Pollard CD just the other week. She is fab.

But don’t you buy a Su Pollard CD every week?
How. Dare. You.
You are mistaking Ms Pollard for Pinky & Perky. Easy to do.
Love the way this guy scores his records’ condition out of ten. And check out those prices! http://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collectibles/city-of-toronto/my-vinyl-record-collection-40-years-old/1162320198?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

This one is even better. Ten quid for chazza stalwart Leo Sayer.
https://www.gumtree.com/p/vinyl/the-very-best-of-leo-sayer-vinyl-lp-stereo-/1166384491
You could get Leo to sing in your living room for less than that.
How much to stop him?
Haven’t you heard, vinlys are coming back in and every record ever made is now worth a king’s ransom?
