I have picked up a few nice things in the charity shops
so far this week including this lovely old record box
which the kind old lady behind the counter said
"oh, you can have that as we were going to throw it out anyway"
but when I told her it still had some records in it she said
"well you can have it for a pound then" - which was nice.
The 78's inside turned out to be quite nice, some by the Folk Dance Band
others by the Folk Dance Orchestra as well as several titled Music For Movement
which are the 78rpm versions of the old schools records that were
played in PE class to get kids up and dancing about. I have a
few music for
schools LP's and 7"s but these are by far the oldest examples I have come across.Also in the same shop were some 7"s which were wrapped
in 1970's wallpaper sleeves. I was pleased with this one as
it's a tourists disc issued by some Yugoslavian coach company,
I so wanted it to be the Italian Job Theme but it's actually thisI was a bit perplexed by the vinyl filing system at the Age Concern warehouse,
perhaps some records shouldn't be left quite so close to others.
This old boy ought to know better too as he was 62
when this was released just before he died in 1963.
Next to it was a soundtrack from 1967 by another fella with a dubious past.
Thankfully in the same box was this LP by someone with
an unblemished career, a 1980 record by Princess Grace.The Animal Sanctuary turned up a couple of Christian albums
including one by The Genesis and an oddly titled album by these 5 lasses.Also in the same shop was an unplayed copy of a late 60's album by Johnny Nash
