It's been a busy few weeks digging and mixing and maybe a little nasty on the side but I have found several gems which I mercilessly sold and some better records I swapped with copies I already had but not as minty. The nicest find was an original UK copy of a cassette tape of Bowie's TMWSTW 'dress cover sleeve' on Mercury from 1971, which I first found many years ago and let it go cheap in the back of some magazine. But the price of it has skyrocketed in recent years, so I'll no doubt sell it as I don't have a tape player anymore but I'm sure it'll fetch more than the £40 I got for it in the early 80's. Other nice finds recently include this lot.
A couple of mid 70's jingles for the American record label/shop recorded by Larry, who isn't with us anymore.
Rarely seen drug company lecture discs 2 & 3 from a set of 6, which now leaves me looking out for the others, one of them asks the question Steroids or ACTH? hmmm...
A cool £1 find on a trip to Wales recently, thank you weird clothing emporium in Llangollen.A couple of nice singles from Scotland's largest weekly car boot which always turns up something.
With it's original UK picture sleeve I never even knew existed!
Stamped (& signed?) Scottish prog from the late 70's.Along with a few albums too.
I bought this sight unseen at the boot too as I do love a bit of Bowlly and this copy turned out to be a test pressing, which was nice.
Daft Scottish actor reading a totally daft Scottish poets poems, most likely a keeper.
The guy on the stall wanted a tenner for this but as I never seen it before so it gave it a punt, side 2's talking is more interesting to me than the classical stuff on the flip.
The guy I bought the Bowie tape off also had a good box of albums including all 3 editions of the Earcom compilations. I nearly bought the other 2, one has Joy Division on it and the other is a double pack of singles but I was more taken by this one with bands I didn't know, a poster and a flesh coloured cardboard disc with the FAST Records logo on it and adhesive stickers on the back, it tickled me so I had to have it!
