I had a message from a friend telling me a shop in Forfar had bought 10 huge crates of 7"s in the recent auction of the old stock from Dundee's now defunct record shop Groucho's. So I headed over early and luckily no-one else seemed to know about it so had first dibs, but after digging for 2 hours the shop slowly filled up. I actually decided against going to the original auction itself just a few days earlier as I knew the prices would go nuts - which I later heard the did, but on top of anything won there the buggers add 26% commission & fees, which to me is just ridiculous so I just stayed away in a pathetic record collecting strop protest. So I happily digged into the boxes of singles the shopkeeper says he won blind and wasn't interested in records anyway and was happy to knock them out at 50p each, 3 for a quid, so I found 170 which he kindly let me have for £50, anyway here are some of them and there's nothing really rare here but some nice ones I don't have.
One of the baa-dest records I've heard for a while.
19 Beatles tunes crammed on one side and 15 on the other and yes, it's horrible.
Great French picture sleeve, dunno what the image has to do with the song though.
This short lived band included Neil Innes and Roger McGough and only released a couple of singles.
Another artist who only released 2 singles has nicely signed on the back.
Local musical drama group oddity from the late 60's.
Hendrix sampling Hip-Hop trio from High Wycombe unleashed in 1991.
The debut 7" by ex Radio 1 DJ 'Diddy' David Hamilton who recently celebrated his 85th birthday, apparently every copy of this disc is signed.
I have promo singles by the Manfreds promoting Ski yoghurt and Maxwell House coffee but this is their first one, for Michelin tyres in 1969.
Early 80's Scottish Goth Rock with heavy Bauhaus and whistling vibes.
