My brother just scratched my limited edition Out Of Print record of Pieces of You, right on 'You Were Meant For Me. He's older than I am, but doesn't know how to work a record player. For those of you who remember records, their is a tiny bar near the motor you can use to lift the needle as not to scratch the record. This is what I use to lift the needle for just that reason, not to scratch the record.
Pieces of You only had a few records made to it, I'm not sure of an exact number, but FEW! I got mine off ebay from a chap who got it for a gift and tried to sell it in a yard sale, but couldn't and put it on Ebay after finding out how valuable it was! It was still in its original cellopahne when I got it, and was the first to open the record and take it out of it's paper case.
Well, my dumbass brother elected to push the needle down hard on the record, as it was in the 'up' position, where the needle was not touching but the record was spinning. He pressed down the needle with his thumb and I heard it scratch out loud, 'screach'!
I got out of my chair and chastized him "Whoa! Get off the record player! Get the off the f'in record player! What are you doin?!"
He said, dumbly, "Nothing, I figured I'd play your record and don't know how."
Well, I screamed back, "Maybe you should have asked me and I'd have shown you!?"
He left the room and I played the record back and it skips in place "I'm half alive but I feel....I'm half alilve but I feel....I'm half alive but I feel...." You get the picture.
I was SO angry I lifted the needle calmly and punched as hard as I could in my wall, thinking I'd punch a whole right through and feel better sheetrocking the putty thing tomorrow morning. Well, I kind of missed. Missed meaning I think I hit a stud, and my hand hurts like, well, you know.
Right now, as I write this, it is throbbing so bad and I can't keep it still. It's not broken, but not feeling good.
I'm being diligent with writing this, but I need to know, this is a limited edition of her album, Pieces of You, because it is out of print and I got lucky, I lucked out, and got one still in its cellophane.
I need to know if I can get eithehr a replacement second vinyl disc for this or another spare. Anyone here selling? I'll pay top dollar, I mean TOP DOLLAR! If not, is thheir a place I can send this puppy to have thhe scratch buffed out?
Any guys or gals on here know about this stuff.
Please advise.

P.S.: And I don't want to even hhear from any one of you all saying "It's your brother, it is a mistake, forgive him. Had it been a regular in print record, i could, but not this record, THIS RECORD!
