"Thanks 'UJ', still have all my old Long Play 33&1/3 Vinyl Records, but also being dumb, I parted with all my old 45's some time ago, also a few 78's I found in Charity Shops a long time ago, I remember a few them were by Wilf Carter, Harry Torrani (aka Harry Hopkins, The Yodeling Cowboy from Chesterfield) and I think there was some Tennessee Ernie Ford ones as well, wish I still had them!!!!
