Most of these I picked up yesterday on a trip up north
(to Wellingborough and Kettering) but some came from
Scotland last week
UK issue of a US TV comedy show that ran from '68 to '73,
but it hasn't aged that well
On first impressions this looked pretty grim but is actually OK
(cheesy good) but Ray is sadly no relation to the drummer with
Budgie and confusingly signs himself Phil on the rear of the sleeve.
A double helping of beer related songs and poems from 1977.
A jazzy film score from 1966.
This is the blue version of the same LP (which I think I
already have) that has a yellow sleeve, this one is in better nick.
I love finding things like this I've never seen before,
this is an in-store promo only compilation from 1972
that has it's own stand on the back to place it on the shop
counter and a sterling selection of tracks.
Unfortunately this has a tatty sleeve but the 10" disc is nice,
hard to find in any condition to be honest.
Not surprisingly this turned up in Scotland, it's a promo 7"
singing the virtues of Dundee in the coming age of technological
enterprise to a minimal/ synth-pop backdrop, the only ever
release on Tay Records niiice.
Another find north of the border was this bluesy single
and 4 years before that Swedish band stole their name.
Sounds wise this pair of 60's Decca Phase 4 albums were
pretty much the finds of the week, if only for the great covers!
