It's been another busy few weeks of digging and clearing out, most recently at Jonny Trunk's Groovy Record Fayre IV in North London. It's only on once a year but I have done every one so far and it is one of my favourite fairs of the year. There are always more interesting stalls than the usual fare served at the ones in leisure centres and market halls across the country. There is a lady who specialises in unusual, mostly weird foreign 7"s who always has amazing stuff (well I think so). plenty of odd music biz folk selling up their collections as well as independent labels with their latest albums. I spent quite a bit this year , more than I usually do, but I sold well too so it was totally justified coming home with treasure I never knew I needed. Pictured below are some of the albums I found, I'll post up the singles in a bit, but before I headed into the big city reluctantly paying a bloody pointless ULEZ charge just for driving in, I dropped by a Northampton recycling depot with good fortune hiding deep in the trash.
A super rare late 60's album by a lady who was one of David Bowie's friends and also covered his song Andy Warhol. One of the tracks on this album is titled 'For David, The Next Day' so no doubt where he got the inspiration from 44 years later.
One of the sellers was selling clothes and records that belonged to his brother who had worked with Stereolab and associated artists before his recent passing. The albums he brought along were incredible (and priced accordingly) but it was nice just to see My Bloody Valentine, Nick Cave, PiL, Fugazi originals in minty condition but I couldn't afford them. The T-shirts were amazing and again as new but... they were £150 EACH, so I don't think he sold many, they were all early 90's and many unique one off designs.
More finds from Laurence (mentioned in a previous post) and a few from Jonny Trunk's boxes.
This was cheap but I couldn't resist the sleeve.
Another cheap find but couldn't find ANY info online about it. It's a compilation of 6 rock and electronic pop bands from the early 90's possibly from the Scunthorpe area. If anyone knows more please let me know as this is a real mystery disc - the only info on the run out which might reveal more is SRT 92L 3350.
3 x sealed albums at a fiver a pop by electronic synth musician Suzanne Ciana from the Finders Keepers Records stall.
The '66 debut album of sleazy easy listening sax by Danny Moss featuring the great Tony Carr who played with Harold McNair and John Cameron on the drums.
A well spent fiver for this mid 60's folk album produced and arranged and the writer of the sleeve notes, ladies and gentlemen Mr. Jimmy Page.
