Mr C record Collection For Sale

jonny68

On eBay for £75,000 :eek: i can imagine there are some vintage tunes in that collection, cant see any list though although it would probably take days to type out a complete list of every tune, i bet it's only a matter before someone asks for soundclips of the tunes:p

Nah in all seriousness seen Mr C several times and has always been good, i suppose he has done it all really, had some top hits with the Shamen, DJ'ed all over the world and co owned a legendary club The End in london so best of luck to him,although in these times of recession i don't hold out much hope of him shifting these records unless another rich DJ buys them.:)

oooh chancing it!!!


No way will he get 75k for them... He'd easily get that if he sold seperately mind you...

My jaysus that must be some f*cking collection!!

Ok his reasons are moving to another country, still though, someone like that (obviously very hardcore about his music) - why is he really doing it? He hardly needs the cash does he?

Credit crunch?

I wonder where he's moving to. Or if it's genuine?

Does seem a little iffy alright

NOOOOOOOOOOO. Say it aint so. I lived in london in 98/99 and i lived for The End. Saw all my favourite djs there, darren emerson, cox, claude young, space djz, billy nasty the list goes on. Mr C is a legend and i cant believe he's selling his collection. To me thats like selling your child. He must have some interfering wifey thing giving him grief about wanting the spare room for yoga or some such sh1te. Then again he's a reknowned p1ss taker so you wouldn't know what he's at. My friendly neighbourhood pharmacist over there was a mad cnt from donegal who knew C from the early raves and squat parties and he reckoned he was a hillarious chap. I just hope he re considers. Didnt Ray D'arcy go on about gettin rid of his collection last year too...because of the missus aswell if i recall.

hahaha:D no offence mate but people like Ray D'arcy cant be mentioned in the same breath like Mr C, and anyone who sells their recoerds over their missus deserves shooting:pac:

Only one way to find out if this is a real ad, if you had the money commit to buy then meet in person;)

Looks like it could be true...

Ray D'Arcy should have sold the missus and bought records....

Its genuine alright. Saw a link to a further post he made where someone started getting snotty about the records and he lost the head a bit and was giving it 'the Big I' a tad.

In fairness though a DJ's record collection is a highly personal thing regardless of whether that DJ is deemed "cool" or not. And in fairness to D'Arcy, he may be a grumpty old sh1te and not relevant as a music DJ anymore but he has certainly earned his stripes as a Mobile Jock back in the day.

As for Mr.C, I'm really surprised that someone would sell their collection, if not least for the sentimental reasons, but then again he's done it before so it shouldn't be that surprising. Maybe the Digital age is a factor in his decision, why have a room full of Vinyl when you can have the whole lot stored on a Hardrive.

The price is a bit ridiculous too. He's averaging it out at £5 a record. I'm sure there's a few gems in there but a hell of a lot of tat also.
