Thanks Jacqui but I shan't make it to the meeting so please don't go to
any trouble.

My vinyl collection currently stretches to a whopping 5 singles and 1
album, with a 10" EP due any day! Basically I have started collecting
the back catalogue of a band that release on both CD and vinyl and often
put additional tracks on the vinyl releases. Also, I have nowhere to put
the deck yet, so I can afford to take my time looking for a decent deck
and fall back to the Dual if I am gripped by a pressing need to listen
to the cover of 'I Am A Cider Drinker' by British Sea Power! The Wurzels
do a cover of 'Remember Me' on the flip side - it's not as awful as it
sounds, trust me!

Anyway, when the 10" arrives I will drop by my mates and use his USB
deck to bung 'em all on the digital media player.

Thanks for the kind offer all the same,

Sean
