    Cheers, dude. It's reassuring that I didn't end up with a load of old tat, as quite honestly, most of the time I haven't got a clue what the hell I'm buying!

    Apart from snaffling up any Shossy, I simply choose the labels (for sound quality) my experience so far suggests are generally very good. Oh, and they must be mint vintage (non-digital) recordings, preferably from the late 50s to late 60s.

    In that respect, my favouites are generally:

    1) Columbia Microgroove, on green and dark blue-y purple labels with gold writing. Truly awesome stuff!

    2) EMI 'His Master's Voice' (black label with red and silver writing).

    3) RCA 'Red Seal'.

    4) Decca ffrr (dark blue or black label).

    5) Decca ffrr (orange label).

    6) Decca 'Ace of Diamonds'.

    7) Decca 'Eclipse' series.

    8) Deutsche Grammophon 'Privilege' series.

    Found a new untapped source for records. I picked up these and a few others lunchtime today and was told by the shop manager that they have hundreds of classical records in their warehouse and nobody wants them. He's going to have a big batch sent over to the shop un Monday so it looks like I'm going to have some fun.
