As well as the usual Scottish records I picked up locally I did have some nice finds + on a recent trip down south. Most were from charity shops but I met a guy in one who said he had 1000's of 7"s at his house and he invited me round to have a look, he turned out to be a bit of a dealer but his knowledge was strictly Northern Soul. He showed me boxes upon boxes of rare stuff but was just happy to show them off and not part with any of them, but it was an interesting visit.
I see a lot of Sir Jimmy Shand (The King of the accordian) 78's in the bins round my way, but this one caught my eye as he's listed as James and it turns out to be only his 2nd ever release from 1940, it must be rare ha!
Another 78, this one featuring The Godfather of the accordian made me feel good, owww! and indeed hoots!
I was pleased to find what is probably my oldest record bag for 50p in a box of 78's, Reg signed to Rex in 1935.
Unusual early 80's Irish Folk 7" in support of Rangers FC.
The rarest single I found last week was in a box at a car boot labelled "Scots Records". This was a private pressing of an acetate from 1968 by a school folk trio in a lovely handmade sleeve.
odds & ends from the charity shop bins
I was chuffed to find this one, a 7" promo by The Afflicted Man from 1979
Original 12" with the transfer which gives me an unfortunate to use or keep unused dilemma.
In the same box as Altered Images 12" was this brilliant 10" Virgin sampler.
I paid a tenner for this, I've got the single but never had the long player before and the vinyl was such nice condition.
Big Band Bond!
