Various vinyl finds in the past 7 days - I picked up a collection
of "Gilles Peterson type stuff" after some chap phoned me up.
I have volume 1 and this is the other one, I don't think there's a third.I guess the bestest bits were a pair of Moodymann releases,
one twelve one + double album.
I'd not come across this US 7" before, it's nearly 20 years old!
I have the CD single of this somewhere, but this was a lovely
12" copy of one of the most beautiful versions of this tune.
soooo mysterious... and quite frankly after a while soooo
annoying!An early Bert album alas without it's original sleeve but still
worth 50p to me, also in the same box another cheap treat.A good addition to my flexi-discs collection as the copy I already
have of this doesn't have this card backing, which to be honest
it's pretty useless without.I have cherry picked the stuff I have actually heard of or ones
I didn't already have but have put 3 boxes of D&B and House
12"s in the shed.- dark days soundtrack! does it have vocals from the movie or is it all just shadow tracks? I haev automn leaves too - lovely track.microkorg

Some odd things have turned up this week, I was most pleased
with this US promo LP released to radio stations in 1973
featuring specially recorded 30 second messages to discourage
folk from doing heroin. A friend burned me a CDR years ago
which had a few of these tracks on but I'd never come across
the whole album before.In the same £1 box was this album produced by Scientology
founder L. Ron Hubbard which has some great Jazz Funk tracks.This was cat nip to me and the guy said "that LP is 10p"
so I gave him 20p just to be sure! It had 'A Fennell School
Production' written on the sleeve and has DER 1190 matrix
so if it's some long lost Deroy test pressing I've no idea but
maybe someone knows more?I picked up a handful of 50p singles
The A side turns out to be quite scarce but it was
the B side that I was more curious about.One of my fave 70's tunes on a US mono/stereo promo

The first outdoor boot of the year kicked off with all sorts
of finds although the 78rpm and this album below came
from a charity shop on a short trip to Sheffield.This album caught my eye when I saw the 2 x ABC Hit Band
track on the back, and the Space & Deodato covers did indeed
turn out to be the only reason to pick it up.Also on a night club tip is this one sided vinyl invitation disc
in a gatefold sleeve for the Chicago Rock Cafe which opened
in Northampton 20 years ago but closed down 10 years ago.Just hearing the voice of Mr. Morris brings back fond childhood memories.
I found one of these Italian cover version albums battered
to death years ago so was chuffed to bits to find a tidy copy,
complete with it's misspelt tracklisting.album odds 'n' ends
these 2 discs turned out to be my favourite finds of the week,
a 78 from the early 40'sand a 45 from the early 60's

This nearly slipped my net but I'm glad I checked out these 2
Cheesy sleeve + Easy instrumentals on this French twist of Handel's tunes.A sweet surprise was this LP released on Tangent in 1972
by a singer I was previously unaware of, featuring a mix of
songs and poems with sleeve notes by Ted Hughes.Another delightful find was this pretty hippy selection
of songs/instrumentals about women and the moon.A pair of 50 pence sevens, the CD4 record is a Japanese
Quadraphonic Test discA brace of School Choir private pressings
Cheesy listening with a bonus insert
TV themes overloadXian Folk from '71 complete with hymn-sheet
I picked up this lovely single a while ago and I like the cover
so much it's been sitting on the mantelpiece since.- Hah... I have a couple of CD4 records, will pick up a decoder some day!kingsteven

Found my dad's original Beatles vinyl from the 60s and 70s.
Worth anything?- Probably not. You should send it to me anyway, I'll get rid of it for you.scruffics
- Does he have the butcher cover?DRIFTMONKEY

Despite the plain looking sleeve the album at the front
is certainly one of my more unusual records. It was pressed
in 1972 by Exxon Chemicals the house label for the American
petrochemical company, and is over 40 minutes long on each
side which must make it one of the longest records I have,
it does make this claim inside it's sleeve.
One side has excerpts of radio plays from the 30's and the
other has lovely old tunes of the era. The inner sleeve has
reproductions of newspaper article on the drama caused by
Orson Welles reading War Of The Worlds on the radio in 1938,
all in all it's a lovely if not that particularly rare album but it's
certainly one of my favourites.- I have added all the galleries

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 :
https://www.mediafire.com/?z50a2…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 1A 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!

cheap vinyl finds I have picked up whilst out and about last week
Yugoslavian Prog from 1975 and yes, I bought it for the cover49p 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 1969The 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

really cheap finds from the Reading record fair yesterday,
unsurprisingly nothing more than £1The 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 intactThe T-shirt will probably be worth a few quid now too
