Vinyl finds over new year in the Dundee area charity shops
and Northamptonshire farm shops (!?)
There was no way on earth I wasn't going to throw 50p at this beauty!
This was the pick of a whole bunch of Polish albums on the
Sutton Sound imprint, many of which had interesting sleeves.
2 x Stooges 7"s in a record shop in Dundee for £2 a pop!
Released in the early 70's it consists of spoken word reports
from people who had been in Burundi and had witnessed some
of the horrors, it doesn't make for comfortable listening.
Disco Floyd!
Along with the bales of hay and dead pheasants there were
records to discover, including...
A bluesy one from 1968 which I had never come across before,
love the sleeve art more than the music to be honest.
Tales of woe, sample lyrics of the title track
It was Thursday the first of November, 1956 was the year
From Springhill, Nova Scotia, the sad news we did hear
An explosion there did happen, at the entrance to the mine
To save the lives of those within, it was a race with timeWell over a hundred miners were trapped in Colliery four
And hope of their survival grew dimmer by the hour
Wives and families huddled ’round the pithead in the cold
The tears they shed, the prayers they said, can never be retold...
An acetate for an un-released album by accordion maestro
Marcosignori, I actually have a couple of his other albums
so knew what I was getting into with my one pound purchase,
this later album below was even released on Parlophone.
I was kindly sent a copy of this excellent new album this week
by the chap who has recorded a couple of sessions for my show.
