From a few recent boots in Angus, an auction box in Milton Keynes and a couple of charity shops in the Kingdom of Fife.
A mish mash of finds in a 2nd hand warehouse just outside Montrose.
An early Ultravox! test pressing from 1978, this was in with a box of utter rubbish so was a lucky find.
A pretty sleeved 60's 7" from an Egyptian singer.An excellent (jammy) £12 auction box win with some great singles which included an Elvis on purple/gold label HMV and a pair of acetates by an early 60's beat/garage band.
I have a friend in Norwich who collects acetates so he has these now, I was never gonna play them anyway.
A whole pile of Punk albums were dropped off at my local charity shop but despite the initial excitement the majority were totally trashed, I did keep the red vinyl Exploited even though it's scratched.
A Cliff Richard oddity, his 1987 album Always Guaranteed was inside this over-sized sleeve only available through Thompson Holiday shops for a short while.
I nearly left this in the box as the guy at the boot wanted a fiver but am glad I took the punt as it's really good and the extra surprise (to me) was that it's produced by Eno.
The most valuable find from the past few weeks was this 10" mini-album featuring Clyde McPhatter who would soon leave the group to form The Drifters, it was sitting at the pile of a bottom of easy listening albums and looks un-played!
