    Bits & bobs found on a recent trip down south

    Best find was this album I'd only ever seen up on the wall of high end dealers at record fairs so was very pleased to finally find my own copy for less than a pint.

    I love the gatefold opening sleeve and the care and attention that's gone into the inner sleeve and beautiful red vinyl disc (in her shade of lipstick also with her image on the labels) shows that Pye really pushed the boat out in promoting the star in 1960 but despite a handful of singles this turned out to be her only album.

    A beautiful album of finely played classical guitar from 1973.


    Not quite as pretty but certainly intriguing is this accordian collection which includes covers of themes to Dr. Who, Star Wars and Telstar - I'd hazard a guess ALL copies of this are signed too.

    Sadly not signed but still featuring the hellfire & brimstone you'd expect from the Reverend Ian Paisley on this Irish release from 1970, features morning and evening services across 2 albums.

    A superb 3 x album set featuring pristine recordings of music from the Columbia Records 1920's archive.


    Not sure if I'll be giving learning Russian a go but if I ever did this 3 x album set from 1979 is one place to start.


    In the same box as the language albums was this curio from early 70's BBC children's TV

    An odd record which I couldn't resist at 20p to be honest was this incredibly depressing Rhodesian air crash commemorative single, the description of the events on the back is pretty grim.

    For reasons I will never know this much more upbeat 7" was in the same box.
