I've been digging up in Northern Scotland around The Cairngorms for the past week with mixed results considering it's a mountain range! Checking out charity shops in Aviemore, inverness and a small town called Forres which had 6 charity shops. I came away with some rare Blues albums and a couple of unusual world & poetry records, one of which I couldn't find anything about online which always makes me happy.
Beautiful Swedish folk music played on a lur and a clarinet recorded live on a farm, Walter comments in the sleeve notes that he was awoken with the sound of birds who joined in as he played.
Late 60's funky guitar sounds from Hong Kong, quite how this ended up a recycle depot near the town of Findhorn is mind boggling.
Featuring poetry by John Lennon to Sylvia Plath and Philip Larkin, this lovely record was used in conjunction with a book of the same name to teach 60's schoolkids.
Also on a poetic tip were these three 10" discs in the same box and in near mint condition.
A mid 80's compilation to raise money for families struggling during the miner's strike, appropriately released on the Rock 'n' Dole label, it came with a big poster.
I liked the cover of this and had never seen it before, but it turned out to be pretty good floaty space jazz, a keeper.
The best finds of the week by some distance were these two albums also in the same box at £3 each two for a fiver!?!? I think I'm either incredibly jammy or blessed.
This might have been even rarer if it wasn't signed!
Original German pressing of her 1966 album which had a £1 sticker on the front which has thankfully peeled off OK.
In the same box was this banjo album which still had the shrink so I pulled it off with the price sticker.
