Am I getting Fussy?!!!!

[mr sayers]

What's the deal with poorly lit record fairs? I've just bought myself a torch for Utrecht this year (Well actually Nige got me one, probably sick of hearing moan about buggered record...Cheers man), so I check the condition of the records better, sick of buying LP's with marks, anyone else rock a torch?

Lovely.You are taking it to the next level.

I'm sure you'll need a cape as well but I'm not sure why. We need pics!

[mr sayers]

I'll make sure Lee gets some foto's of in action mate!

i'm not as fussy as you Craig I have to say but certain lights can make records look so much better than they actually are

In my experience that's every light except the one sitting next to my deck.

The lighting in Utrecht can be bad, it's true.
Torch with head mount is the way to go:

Iphone, what the hell is one of them?!!!

My phone is a phone - IE no camera, no internet, it's a ten year old hand me down!

Most record fairs, in my experience they're all in dimly lit halls!

Well you can't go for the hand held torch option, it'll slow you down too much.

Milesago is right - head torch all the way. Two hands to manipulate records, eyes to see and a shining brow.
