I won several interesting boxes of mixed vinyl for £55
at the auction over the weekend.There was a lot of chuff
but some real gems tucked away including original Stones, Dylan etc.
Although there was a Satanic Majesties with it's daft 3D sleeve
I was most pleased with this 1st UK mono pressing of my 2nd
favourite Stones album (there was sadly no first issue of Let It Bleed
not that I'm complaining, honest)
I knew nothing about this until I noticed it was on the
Sarah label and then a nice surprise to discover it's stupidly rare.
This was a lovely listen, old folk just rabbiting on about
sheep and thatching and working with oxen, etc.
Out of a really odd mix of albums this Todd Rundgreny album
of Power Pop stood out with some strong tunes.
A private pressing by a raucous local covers band, couldn't
find much online about them except that their drummer is dead.
There was a whole bunch of unused flexi-disc greetings cards,
probably from the late 50's.
Not a flexi-disc but tucked inside this EMI Xmas card sleeve
was the comedians debut from 1968, but I definitely have an
earlier disc by him though in the shape of a flexi in a
'Do-It-Yourself Comedians Kit', somewhere...
On the same label and in the same box was this early 7"
by Leonard Cohen, someone certainly had eclectic taste.
I had not come across this disc before, released by the
Crackerjack 70's TV show star, alongside him is an early
sighting of Lenny Henry who doesn't actually feature on
the record, with it's cheeky b-side.
Locally stamped sleeve for the only release by the
R&B band who would turn into Family a few years later.
This UK demo is signed on the label but am damned if I can
make out who's name it actually is, it doesn't look like Cissy's.
One of the stranger discs in the boxes was this Swedish
kinda proggy oddity by Ola & The Janglers.
This is the only 7" I have ever come across with it's own Zoetrope!
