I popped over to Milton Keynes yesterday to paint the loo
in the CRMK studio and couldn't help but make a few stops
en route, including some finds in Northampton.
Wandering around town I spotted some fella fixing his car
on the roof of a cafe next door to a furniture store.These 2 x EMI promo LP's were in the same box in a
Northampton charity shop, I can only assumed they had
a lovely day out at the EMI factory, I know I would have.
the tracklist
Side One
1. Queen - We Are The Champions
2. Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County
3. Cliff Richard - Wired For Sound
4. Diana Ross - Why Do Fools Fall In Love
5. Bob Seger - Hollywood Nights
6. Iron Maiden - Run To The HillsSide Two
1. Hot Chocolate - Everyone's A Winner
2. The Stranglers - Golden Brown
3. Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
4. Simon Rattle - Jupiter (classical)
5. Olivia Newton-John - Physical
6. Sheena Easton - Nine to FiveAlthough this is an American pressing I'd never come across
this old Northampton based metalworks company LP before.
There is nothing left of Timken's now but the old factory gates remain.
a couple of 7"s turned up in MK
The godawful Agora building in Wolverton, MK
(some architects idea of how we would shop in the future)
is thankfully doomed to be demolished at some point soon.
I didn't expect to pick up these 2 x 25p goodies in not bad nick
I finished my dig with a coffee in the local cafe -
this was the site of my dads first 2nd hand shop
in the early 70's, yes that probably explains where I get it from!
