Some really nice finds since Xmas, I took another trip down south with great results but records have turned up amongst dead peoples things at the local auctions.
I bidded up to £650 on one lot that finished yesterday that was just stunning, all the Pentangle, Jansch, Tull, Davy Graham originals, even pink eye John Martyn albums all
in NM condition but got pipped at £700, the auctioneers percentage is an outrageous 24% + 11% extras so I would have been paying another £200+ if i'd carried on, but I didn't. These are some of the albums I did find tramping around various high streets in Milton Keynes and the backwaters of Northampton.
This was a pretty incredible find in a Cats Protection Shop box, I had just went in to donate with 2 boxes of unwanted LP's I'd won in an auction and there is this gem I'd only ever heard of before just sitting amongst the Perry Como and Mantovani, quite incredible, and I like to think karmic.
In the same auction lot that I dropped off I did pull this classical album I'd not seen before that has a woman playing the violin on the front so I assumed it was good, it is.

7" odds & ends, not all found in these boxes
I assume this is signed, couldn't really find much about it online or if it's the same religious singer who released a handful of singles in the 60's, never seen that cool label before though.
I took a £2 punt on what looked like an interesting single in an antique centre, there were lots of promos at £10 each but I just liked the label of this one.
Scottish new wave/ska band from the early 80's.
