I was pleased to see the woman with the unusual singles
turn up at Holcot car boot, for the last time this year she said.
I had my pick of the 7"s and even bought a couple of LP's
off her, in fact 95% of these came from her 50p boxes.
early 80's promo re-issue
There was a whole load of EP's by The Beatles & The Stones but this was the best of the bunchsome of the odder singles I had not come across before
as well as the EP's there were a lot of other Stones singles
I'm always happy to pick up a flexi I don't already have
and this was one of them.
No date on this lovely disc but it could be 60's, it would
have only been available via a stall run by the theatre
by the cliffs and it came with inserts for a book.
Along with some Medicine Head and Earth Band albums
this soundtrack from 1972 was the best find.
- Cool finds. Used to live and work around the Minack theatre, brought back memories!mugwart

I am a sucker for this stuff, I've just won an old Pixies
carrier bag - to go with my other one, on ebay for £1.99
incl P&P (it came in a bag) and I'll probably never use it.
my other one I got when I bought Doolittle at the time,
I still have the bloody reciept!

album odds 'n' sods from 2016's penultimate early start
and yes it's a bit dark but that's why the car boot god
invented torches
I found all these albums on the same stall run by a guy
called Alan. I even managed to persuade him to consider
coming to doing a show on CRMK and he was excited at
the thought of playing stuff he finds at car boots.
He was a lovely fella and he certainly knew his stuff also
kindly gave me a 50p each deal on this mix of cheese,
Folk and Moog.
one of a series of records for kids
spoken word tour on the capital
1st press
scarce 60's collection of Kiwi poems
sounds and songs from across the land
Clean comp featuring Bill Withers, Herbie Hancock and Santana
best find of the day for me was this album mixing folk songs
and spoken word, complete with book

Some bits 'n' bobs on a short trip to The Lakes mid-week
and some LP's from last Sundays very, very last local car boot.
The perfect album to find on a Cumbrian dig, this was
found in Silloth with another copy of the Daphne Oram
electronic dance LP for schools I'd picked up earlier in the year.
A musical comedy mix with members of The Scaffold with Neil Innes & friends.
Sole solo effort by Barbara Mullaney aka Rita Fairclough
aka Barbara Knox aka Rita Tanner and possibly others.
I paid £6 for this at the car boot, the guy wanted £10 but
that tear on the sleeve edged it for me, I was more than
happy that the vinyl was in super condition.
Sweet, signed folk album of canal songs and stories.
I must suffer from some strange ailment that forbids me
to leave such albums as these in 50p bins, maybe i just
need to give them a good home?
50p blown on this US Riverside Jazz album from 1956
with nice vinyl but a tatty sleeve.
Another cheap find, I never even knew there was a JD
album, turns out to be movie dialogue and sadly not songs.
This mid 70's R&R album on the oddly named Throstle Nest
label came signed on the rear with a signed pic of Dave inside.

The boots may be over for the year but the charity shops are still coming up trumps.
I have never come across one of these EP's before until
I saw one at a friends house the other week.
The Blue Cat was not called King Buster but King Buxton
despite what the rear of the sleeve claims!
I hit the motherlode of Lebanese music at the tip shop
on Thursday, I couldn't resist the charms of the 50p
Belly Dance albums.
No doubt much rarer were the albums I found on my trip
round the charity shops in town during the week,
including these 2 albums appropriately sitting next to
each other...
I was gobsmacked to come across these 2 for 49p each (!?)
at the Help The Aged shop!

cheap vinyl finds I have picked up whilst out and about last week
Yugoslavian Prog from 1975 and yes, I bought it for the cover
49p for this unusual Punk & Avantgarde comp from 1980
It does exactly what it says on the sleeve
A double album picked up with my golf mad father in law in mind
A musical tour of the city released in 1969
The best and most unusual find of the week
was this album from 1975 complete with booklet.
The Miles Davis track from Bitches Brew is a stand-out on this Quad comp.
- i take it you don't have a quad decoder? i was looking for QS system for some Japanese stuf, ended up selling to a Quad collector who promised to send back ripskingsteven
- ... but never did :-|kingsteven
- no, just a simple set up at home I'm afraidGardener

nice find in a box of old 78's this morning,
From His Master's Voice's Gramophone & Record Catalogue, Feb - Mar 1911:
"For the first time in the history of the Talking Machine industry,
a genuine record has been obtained of a bird.The Nightingale
in question is the property of Herr Carl Reich, of Berlin, and was
taken from its nest shortly after hatching, and reared by hand."

really cheap finds from the Reading record fair yesterday,
unsurprisingly nothing more than £1
The future saint had a go at the charts with this EP in '79
Another crumpled wrinkly face on this 7" from '73
I showed this test press LP find to a dealer at the fair and for
some reason he gave me a right old bollocking for buying it!
I got more funny looks for buying this too, but some folk
can be a bit weird at record fairs.
The rear of the sleeve indicates it's for Capricorn's,
I assume the full set has the same front cover?
a few 50p finds
An odd choice of backing band perhaps and it may even be signed!?
Best find of the day was this old fanzine from '91 which
had the Cocteau's/Lush/Moose flexi freebie intact
The T-shirt will probably be worth a few quid now too
This flyer was tucked in the back pages

I won these 2 x 102 year old 78's in an auction last night for £1 each
They are both from 1914 this one has parts 1&2 on each side
This one is very scarce and I could find nothing about it online,
the flip is a soldiers singalong, blissfully unaware they were no
doubt marching towards their deaths.

Yes, more bloody records bought in charity shops,
a record fair and an Xmas treat to myself online as
I can't rely on Santa to deliver.
The Crauford pub in Milton Keynes has a busy fair for such a small venue.
4 x new vinyl bargains at under £8 each, the guy had loads
but many I already had.
Happy punters buying my £2 - 3 x £5 records
I probably wasted my pound on this US sports album
but it came with a cool booklet of other sports albums
(which I'm a sucker for) and inside the LP were also a
newspaper and the original mailing envelope and a letter!
that is one hell of a big trophy
Another nice £1 find was this spoken word/SFX album in Quad!
I can never resist the odd single...
How nice to come home on Sunday afternoon to find the
postman called with something very heavy addressed to me.

Last vinyl finds before Xmas
I'd never come across this school musical album or the label
before, it had a massive cast according to the sleeve notes.
Check out this download Leather Girls

In the same box was this heavy vinyl test pressing of a
really lovely recording of seasonal music.
I found this at the local record fair t'other week and have just
got round to hearing it, this too is a delightful and it was based
on a book by Pete Wood.
Recorded in a church on the tiny Isles Of Scilly with money raised from it's sale going to R.N.L.I.
I was very pleased to pick up a copy of Peggy's first UK release
from 1957, the 10" sleeve has a bit of damage but the disc is excellent.
I guess it was just good timing but I popped into a charity shop
and was digging through a box out the front when the lady asked
if I'd like to see the others that were out the back - music to my ears!
There was nothing to get too excited about but I found a few things
I could work out Nigel's scribble on the back
but god knows who the other two are.
Best in the bags was this curious EP from the early 70's by
Art Shane Georgie And The Kiddelicks, it's Reggaedelick man!
Sadly not signed but this 7" has a suitably daft sleeve,
Mel seems to have a bit of an Adam Ant/Julie Andrews thing going on...
You'd have to be one cool cat to receive this Rock 'n' Roll flexi-birthday card

I won a nice collection of The Doors this morning in the
auction all original UK pressings, £30 the lot!
- teh3
- Does this have remixes too? I bought this freakin album twice on CD, and own the vinyl version.section_014
- Remixes, demos, live versions, and alternate takes.teh

Following on from my Doors collection auction win
yesterday it bugged me that there were some albums missing,
Waiting For The Sun in particular.
So I went back earlier today and they said ah yes there
was one box that didn't get put in the earlier lot (I had a
gut feeling in my waters) and hiding in amongst all the
Mantovani and James Last there it was (in mono too)
along with a couple of other odds and ends, I offered a
fiver for them and they said sure, oh happy Friday!

Vinyl I seem to have have accumulated in the past week or so
I met an old boy at the market who told me he wanted to get rid
of a load of Elvis records, so I took his address and went round
to his house to see them. However, they were all scratched
to heck and these were the only LP's that I came away with.
The Red Rum one I'd never seen before and the one below
is an interesting Mark Wirtz production.
I picked this folk album up a couple of weeks ago
with an auction lot and what a lovely listen it is too.The band are pictured pottering about on the back
Two albums recorded live in a London pub which I dug up
at the tip shop, this one has a once heard, never forgotten
version of The Beatles A Day In The Life.
You may wish to download it here :

On Volume 3 the stand-out track is a drum heavy take on
Rock N' Roll part 2. I may need to dig deeper to find Vol 1
A nice collection of the all the 60's flexi-discs compiled on one LP
A well spent pound for this action movie soundtrack from 1967.
"sorry doctor, but I think I'm physically unable to leave BBC
theme albums in charity shop boxes..."
doctor : "that's OK you only paid 50p for it, if it's rubbish
it might be worth a pound"
I found this signed C&D album last week and would you
believe I saw another one in the wild only just this morning
but I left it, as even I really don't need two!
Another cheap find was this Miles Davis album with a great sleeve.
Charity shops do turn up the weirdest stuff sometimes,
I picked this up for the tracklist alone.- Chas and Dave!vero_vandal
- they supported Zep at Knebworth!
