I'm still going through a bunch of LP's I won in an auction 2
weeks ago but these 7"s were car boot finds, there were more
common ones too but these ones probably less so.
50p flexis - Alan Freeman's Pop Pickers was a competition
promotion run by Littlewoods and still had the entry insert.
The tunes "Fluff" wanted you to guess included Gary Numan,
The Police and UB40 so it wasn't as hard as Radio 2's
Popmaster.
The Robert Maxwell one below is one I had already but the
condition of this one is better, the other had a kink in it or maybe it was just a bit crooked.
Another dodgy geezer (Jonathan King) was behind the hard sell
of this awful single by a harmony group who sound like a really crap version of Darts.
This slightly better (upper class) harmony group recorded this
tune to advise listeners how to change their BBC radio dials in 1978.
I have had a copy of this lovely single for years but had never found the picture sleeve until now.
Most copies of this single are usually found signed so this must
be a rare un-signed copy, it does have the scarce sleeve stamp though!
Does it get any more niche than a youth choir from Sheffield
who happen to play squash and sing for Jesus? I don't think so.
Released in 1968 and still sung by fans home and away today.
Best find of the week was probably this minty US issue in a great sleeve.
Although running it a close second was this EP of sound FX of ghosts and space ships.
