I have been so busy this past week, driving for over 9 hours down south to go gigging (Average Life Complaints, Hotel Lux) painting a friends front room & kitchen, doing a record fair and of course plenty of digging, with some good results. I was kindly given this first record which looks like a record but actually contains a (blank) record and comes with a CD, it's an art project by a fellow DJ and vinyl collector Martin Parrott, I include it here as he only has a few left.
A lovely handmade edition of his sampled music (mostly Xian Folk) with his own weirdy twists, he also used to do a show on my station with his wife but does other projects now, he is such a lovely fella and I think I remember him saying that the reel to reel on the front has an exclusive track too!

Released on UK label President in 1979 this odd album sounds pretty much like a pub band doing cover versions in a football stadium, however there are some good spoken word links in English & Russian.
I think the best find was this privately pressed school album which has some beautiful ethereal covers and originals sung and played by 13 young ladies in 1970.
In the same £1 box were these 4 albums.
A nice pair of albums released in Hong Kong - above is a compilation of what (to me) sounds like easy listening lounge (restaurant?) music from 1980 and below from 1970 Wong Ching Yuan with The Stylers who were the HK equivalent of The Shadows.
I was really pleased to find this late 70's Japanese flexi on red vinyl by Japan, the rear of the sleeve references and has lyrics to a couple of their early releases but it turns out the disc is all spoken word, in Japanese!
