sorry about this rant but after 40+ years of this hokey pokey ,i'm uncomfortably numbed to stories of the brits and their antics. they must use audio play as standard because NOBODY is that blind . (they seem to have a dj mentality not a collector one) also, like e bay, they have too many young people and broke hillbillies selling stuff on line(discogs, too). if it wasn't for the continuing incomprehensible obsession with the (parlophone) beatles that show would have been over years ago.( they STILLl want all this $$ for no demand stuff like Freddie and the dreamers.......)
germans and dutch and some oz and swedes were reliable (for high grades)but you'll pay! japan had a postage issue.
if a English dealer is good he usually is very good but all those 60's records have dried up so his stock is low. it depends on genre!
