Back in June we had all those floods and my record rooms got flooded - whilst I was on holiday...
Only one inch, most of my records were fine but one section is ****ed - all techno records beginning with SI to SO.... that means my whole collection of Smitten. Basically we put a heater in the room to dry it out and it's warped that whole section...
GUTTED :(
harsh as **** mate
I know, I'm really upset about this actually. Makes you realize how precious your vinyl is. I'll never get those back. Bah, life sucks...
I've actualy still got another section in my collection I've got to go through and I'm dreading what I'll find :grr:
:whoops: :rucrybaby: :byesad:
thats terrible mate...it's the worst thing that can happen to dj.
i don't know what i would do if it happened to me.
savge. smitten records are the pride joy of my acid collection, but surley the insurance claim on them would be mega. worth a fair bit init.
doesnt make up for the loss but softens the blow.
Gutted.
Wounded in fact.
shit Mark,that's a bitch and a half.Are they warped beyong recognition,or are they salvagable? I'm sure there are companies that deal with this shit.
would this link be of any use?

Iron them. Sounds mental, but put the records between tea towels and iron them. Either that or wait until summer comes again, and on a really hot day sandwich them between some glass for a while. Or stack them all up in a pile and leave under a heavy weight for a while. Either that or get on eBay and start trying to buy them all again.
i'm gutted for you - i think i'd be reduced to tears
i picked up a second copy of no. 10 (system test) for £2 in a 2nd hand shop the other week - you can have it if you want it
i have most of my smitten collection transferred to digital.. lemme know if you want them. i know you use cd's sometimes? not the same but at least its something!
i got a spare copy om smt5 if you want it
got a bulk load of smt tunes once and ended up with 2
never use a haeter to dry out water damage, you need to use a de-humidifier to draw out the moisture, using a heater creates more moisture. maybe to late this time but remeber it for next time.
i've had nightmares about my house burning down and melting all my rcords!!
"mr smitten" still has limited (like 2-3) copies of everything,
prob at a price, i know he was selling some off throu kinetec,
but if ya desperate, hit him up.........
only trying to help!!!!!
Mark, check your PM's...
No way! Ouch! :(
