.....so, how many of you out there have signed records in your collection? I don't mean ones you've picked up in a store (I still kick myself after all these years remembering passing up a complete set of signed and sealed Transmat and Fragile releases in Ruadub because they were £1 more expensive than the normal copies and I had the majority of the tracks anyway)...I mean the ones you've actually taken the time and bother to drag down to a club night where somebody you totally respect is about to play and you run up to them with a silver or black marker and...well, you know the rest :)
Tonight, whilst going through my vinyl for the first time in a LONG time, I found: Mr Fingers - Amnesia - of course I was new to the signing thing then and had brought a ball point pen instead of a marker and poor old Larry had to sort of inscribe the cover as the pen wouldn't write - this would have been roughly 1994-1995 when he played live (DX7, Emax II and live vocals- I recoreded the gig on DAT and of course, it didn't work) in the Volcano club on a Thursday night (where the club scene in Trainspotting was filmed fact fans!) Orlando Voorn - 1987 DMC MegaMix - signed at his Art School gig back in 2001 just before I moved over to Amsterdam - he ended the show by coming out of the DJ booth, dancing like a crazy man and then scratching in the next track by leaning back into the booth whilst still dancing - pretty impressive stuff! Of course the hardest part after making a fool of yourself is getting the said record home in one piece..or home at all! Come on you lot, what you got? Jason
