lovely finds at the car boots/charity shops/record fair this week
This selection of 3 for £1 mostly Punk/New Wave 7"s
including an original [i]New Rose[/i] and various Sex Pistols,
Clash etc had only just come into RSPCA, the lady said she
put the box on the floor 10 minutes earlier so it was just lucky
timing really, When she said "oh, the man also dropped a lot
of LP's off too, are you interested in those"?
it was music to my ears.
There were The Stranglers, Cure etc but a few
I didn't already have including this LP with the sticker intact.
I have the Rezillos albums but not their other
spookily similar incarnation.
The pick of a handful of Reggae albums
A nice MM compilation featuring previously unreleased tracks
I nearly left this in a 50p box but curiosity got the better
of me and I flipped it over to find it signed by Tommy,
Tony & Pete!
A 2nd hand record shop was clearing out of it's stock
at 50p a pop but I found only a couple of 7"s of interest,
this one is a tribute disc released after the Kings Cross fire
of 1987, signed on the front by one of the victim's father.
The other single was by someone cursed with a similar
name to a famous guitarist, and came with a signed picture
of him + his merry band meeting HRH The Queen Mother.
Best buys of the week were at the local record fair
when a chap came in with a box of LP's and walked
straight up to me and asked if I was interested in any,
there were various Simon & Garfunkel, Byrds etc
but pick of the box was this first pressing, no EMI label credit,
mono, top opening beauty - I made him a fair offer and he
was happy.
The other nice one was this first Transatlantic pressing
of BJ's debut gracing my deck below.
