• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

I've got a few of Frankie Lanes old records on 78 LP's anyone know if they could have any value?
 
You sure they’re 78’s? They went out with arc. Wax things that smashed.
 
If I were you, do a little bit of research on the ones you have, when you got some spare time. Started looking into selling some old vinyl a year or so back, and I don't think it's a simple as doing a quick comparison, as to what they sell for on say ebay.

 
Episode of The Apprentice last year Sir Alan sent the wanabees to Brighton to get a 45rpm of ABBAS Waterloo .

Way back in the day this was supposed to be the bees knees of vinly , they had done Eurovision years before .

Made for TV entertainment of course , some of the traders haggled over 75p / £1 for the value and profit for them .

Sad to say I did get rid of my old CDs and cassettes recently to the local skip , even Charity Shops are flooded with unwanted oldie stuff like my back catologue of classics .

Youngster today have no interest in vinyl so now all downloads of the latest groovy tunes online .

Dinosaur me but loved getting that stylus needle onto Track 1 , Side 1 and listen to the crackling noise through my massive padded ear protected JVC kit .

You may have chucked away a fortune there!

Or maybe not, who knows, but I will say something, from my very brief look into this, some old vinyl are worth a lot of money, it's a couple of year ago now, and I can't really remember, it was to do with codes/numbers on the old vinyl.

I've got a few, 50's, 60's and so on, Beatles and stuff, but a good few are missing the original sleeves.. plus the pièce de résistance, Hot Chocolate Album, Grease, and Saturday Night Fever.. :)

HMV is getting more and more vinyl in stock every year, it now has quite a large selection. Can't see how it appeals to todays youngsters, having to get up off the settee to change tracks and turn it over to side 2. Quite sad to see physical copies of music being withdrawn from a lot of shops.
 
My old man had a copy of the Rawhide single stashed away somewhere. Frankie Laine didn’t have belt it out. Great song.
