some recent slightly dubious charity shop pickings

Image

great laid back Jazzy mix of electronica and orchestration with a Sci-Fi twist, shades of Steve Hillage on some tracks

Image




Image

not sure what the hell this is but it is signed and looks like it might be OK but I'm not holding my breath

Image


Image
it was the same with this really, I picked it up on the strength of the hair of the guy on the left


Image
again, I just liked the sleeve oh and it was only 25p


Image

also cheap and probably better than the 2 albums above was this 12" of DJ FX

Image



Image
a pretty faithful cover of The Temptations classic but inna reggae stylee


Image

the guy in the charity shop actually asked me "what the heck do you want this for?"
I couldn't answer him with a straight face and after listening to it he was probably right

some lovely records found their way into my grubby hands yesterday, most were 50p - £1

Image
nice 2 x vinyl, never seen it before - it was in the same box as Mansun below


Image
I was chuffed to find this, I have the CD but to find it on vinyl (for 50p) made my day!


Image
DiV 12"


Image
original 12" issue with a great 15 minute version of Deeper on the flip


Image
double album comp of two earlier BB albums


Image
I knew nothing about this LP I just liked the sleeve, it sounds really lush and downtempo


Image
I like the tune so remixes could be good


Image
God, I remember listening to this on my cassette Walkman decades ago


Image
I have another BBC Young Folk LP to this which is pretty good so fingers x this is too

bits I've picked up in the last 7 days

Image
A nice wallpaper-like sleeve on this Antonio Carlos Jobin album


Image
Sadly not the reggae Pioneers (obviously) but the debut LP from the Christian Folk types


Image

I was proud my 11 year old son recognised the chap on these albums straight away!

Image

before...
Image

...after
Image



Image
Good collection of late 60's early 70's kids TV clips and themes


Image

A curious 7" envelope containing a single, the last time I came across one of
these envelopes it had a Beatles Christmas flexi in it, but no such luck this time.

Image



Image
James Bond and The Aladdin Mystery!



Image

I was too young for NME in '73 as Popswop was more my bag but it was nice to
finally catch up on what the rock kids were digging back then.

recent vinyl finds

Image

Not the soundtrack to the recent Channel 4 series but an album of sound FX featuring
sex & violence and err, auctions.

Image



Image
Ain't nothing going on here but Cornish verse and music, thankfully these Minstrels are not blacked up.




Image

This album released on Pama in the late 60's features popular tunes of the day,
The Red & White Minstrels and How To Cure a Nagging Wife

Image






Image

Just when I thought I had every stereo test record ever made I find one
I'd never seen before - released through a magazine in the late 60's

Image





Image
These were the pick of 3 Chet Baker albums I won in a local auction at the weekend,
both are sealed recent re-issues - they were in with a lot of other Jazz stuff
but these were the ones I really wanted, £24 well spent for 15 albums.



Image
This is the Dutch 12" version of the single that was a UK hit in 1979
it's a bit of a shame that it just has the same 4 tracks.



Image
I took a 50p punt on this as I'd not seen/heard of it before and it turns
out to be quite scarce, but it was it's B side Come Inside which I preferred.




Image

Along with the 2 school choir albums I found at the weekend was this 7" which features
the best known UK school choir (at least since 1979) I never knew they were on another
record as I'd always thought There's No-one Quite Like Grandma was their only release,
so you can only imagine how proud I was to discover this then!

I picked up a small collection of 78's from the estate of a late old Northamptonian jazzer yesterday.
He used to be in a band called The Ambassadors, there were a few of his acetate discs in with the lot
along with some Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald etc. These 12" acetates are metal plates with shellac coating,
a few are in a sorry old shape but they still play!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image




Image

This one from 1952 is in much better condition than the 2 metal plate discs, it sounds really upbeat
and is more like dramatic movie soundtrack music

Image




Image

2 x 10" discs by Northampton jazz band The Ambassadors - circa 1952

Image




Image

A Sinatra disc from 1943 and I couldn't let the Wembley Stadium 78 go, it dates from 1955 the year Newcastle last won the FA Cup

Bar in my neighborhood had a few people selling boxes of vinyl yesterday afternoon. For $30 came away with the following:

Image
Barbarella Original Soundtrack
Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser
John Coltrane: Coltrane Jazz
The Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Special AKA: In the Studio
Luscious Jackson: Natural Ingredients
Joy Division: Substance

The vinyl is all in fantastic condition, not a scratch or scuff to be found. Covers are mostly top notch outside a couple price stickers and a faint hint of ring wear on a couple. Just missed out on a great deal when the guy who was flipping right ahead of me nabbed the first 2 13th Floor Elevators records for 6 bucks each. Oh well, still happy with this haul. Place is going to be doing similar events with rotating sellers every month or so, or at least that's the plan so I figure I'll keep dragging stuff out of there.

today's car boot finds

Image

With a bit of research on the official Celtic FC website I discovered this 7" was
released in 1964 making it my earliest football related record. It also came in
a picture sleeve, alas this copy didn't but it was a nice find and was produced by a
young Jim Kerr of Simple Minds (probably)

Image





Image

I couldn't leave this in the box for a pound as it has recordings I remember
from the night itself, specifically the actual sounds of a weeping Jimmy Savile.

Image




Image
In the same box as the Elvis record was this compilation of early 20th century music.




Image

Listening through to this LP early today it turns out to be one of the better Stereo Test records
I have in my collection, released in 1970 it came with a wee booklet too.

Image




Image
I dunno why I bought this as it is no doubt as awful as it's subject matter.



Image
This was a much easier listen than the Sean Brady album, nice sleeve too.



Image
An Italian compilation of early Bowie tunes, it was supposed to have a booklet inside the
gatefold sleeve, but doesn't.




Image

A sweet 20p find in a box of rubbish, Creation #9

Image




Image

I kid you not, a guy pulled into the car boot with a van, I wasn't even first in
the back and 2 blokes walked away shaking their heads so I digged in saw the
box of vinyl & asked him how much they were "it's all dance shit mate, so 10p each" he replied! :lol:

various weekend finds, some good some bad, and some just plain evil

Image

a couple of 12" singles took my eye, the Beat Squad below, later morphed into Acid ravers Altern 8

Image




Image

the debut 7" by a very young looking Kirsty MacColl, this was also issued as a picture disc

Image



Image

curious 7" with a school choir on one side and early 70's folk rockers group Magna Carta on the flip

Image




Image

my mum found this and was excited when she told me "look, it's all fully signed" but alas,
they were only pretend signatures, sorry mum - but hey, at least she tries bless her!

Image

Image




Image
I have love for the early Caravan albums but have yet to check this one out



Image

this was a nice find, an audiophile pressing in an exclusive sleeve of the Donald Fagen album
so beloved of stereo test centres, you had to buy some fancy B&W Monitor speakers to get it

Image



Image

this odd looking sleeve caught my eye and it wasn't until I got home I noticed the fella lurking
inside the rainbow was Jimmy Savile, someone had also tried to scribble out his face in pen!

I saw a record box of albums at the car boot this morning and asked to have a look, "they are all Irish" she said,
"that's OK, I like a bit of Irish" I replied and this is what was in the box all for 50p a pop and in near mint condition too.
I was especially pleased to find the first one for it's beautiful sleeve alone, I do have to get up at 6am to find these things y'know!

Image




Image

Image




Image

Only a couple of singles this week, I saw some guy pull at least a dozen of these Century 21 EP's from

Image




Image

I have come across slimming albums by hypnotists before but this is my first proper slimming aid

With the car boot season drawing to a close I rely on other vinyl sources, these are the pick of my recent auction wins

Image
A really nice mix of old Folk tunes including Oh Dear! What Can The Matter Be? and John Peel




Image
The last Mud album with the original line up which is apparently quite scarce now, cheeky sleeve to boot




Image

A pretty stunning find in with a huge lot I won at auction last week for a pittance
and have already parted with for a Kings ransom as it was only in VG condition.
It's a private pressing by Gregory Bright and is titled A Room By Greg released in 1969.

Image





Image
This ECM album is from 1976




Image

A curious 70's Greek Telecommunications promo compilation in a die-cut sleeve with booklet

Image

Image





Image
Fine Eastern European Folk from 1966



Image
More Eastern European Folk but this time from 1971




Image

Alan Partridge would be proud of this lovely souvenir from East Anglia released in 1977

Image





Image
Another addition to my football vinyl collection, and in a match when Man Utd lose is always a win for me

I have picked up a few nice things in the charity shops so far this week including this lovely old record box
which the kind old lady behind the counter said "oh, you can have that as we were going to throw it out anyway"
but when I told her it still had some records in it she said "well you can have it for a pound then" which was nice.

Image

Image

Image

Image
The 78's inside turned out to be quite nice, some by the Folk Dance Band others by the Folk Dance Orchestra
as well as several titled Music For Movement which are the 78rpm versions of the old schools records that were
played in PE class to get kids up and dancing about. I have a few music for schools LP's and 7"s but these are
by far the oldest examples I have come across.




Image

Also in the same shop were some 7"s which were wrapped in 1970's wallpaper sleeves!
I was pleased with this one as it's a tourists disc issued by some Yugoslavian coach company,
I so wanted it to be either Everyone Back To The Bus from an early TV memory of mine or the Italian Job Theme
but it's actually this

Image



Image

I was a bit perplexed by the vinyl filing system at the Age Concern warehouse,
perhaps some records shouldn't be left quite so close to others.

Image



Image
This old boy ought to know better too as he was 62 when this was released just before he died in 1963.





Image
Next to it was a soundtrack from 1967 by another fella with a dubious past.



Image
Thankfully in the same box was this LP by someone with an unblemished career, a 1980 record by Princess Grace.




Image

The Animal Sanctuary turned up a couple of Christian albums including one by The Genesis
and an oddly titled album by these 5 lasses.

Image

Image



Also in the same shop was an unplayed copy of a late 60's album by Johnny Nash

Too lazy to take pictures, but grabbed these at the $2 table at a record show over the weekend:

Eddie Harris - Sings The Blues
The Modern Jazz Quartet - Blues At Carnegie Hall
Sonny Rollins - There Will Never Be Another You

Malcolm McLaren - Duck Rock
Jay And The Americans - Jay And The Americans Greatest Hits
Paul Barbarin & His Jazz Band / Punch Miller's Bunch & George Lewis - Jazz At Preservation Hall III

Then, not quite so cheap, but less than half of what I've often seen them go for I grabbed:
The Slickers: Breakthrough (original version, only one with the extended disco style mixes of all tracks on side one, NM)
Booker T. and the MGs: Hip Hug Her (reel to reel tape in perfect condition, box a bit worn)

Then last weekend a very fruitful trip to a thrift shop got me these:
Skip James - The Complete 1931 Session
Billie Holiday - The Golden Years 3xLP
The Young-Holt Unlimited - Soulful Strut
Philip Glass - 1000 Airplanes On The Roof
Electric Light Orchestra - Olé ELO
Sunny Ade - The Master Guitarist Vol. 1

A few random arrivals over the last month or so in the mail or at local record shops:
Robert Turman: Macro
Dead Boys: Young, Loud and Snotty
Cramps: Songs the Lord Taught Us
Run the Jewels II
Ze Records Christmas Record
James Brown: Soulful Christmas
Lee Perry: Cloak & Dagger
Willie Williams: Armagideon Time
Strategy: Noise Tape Self
The Best of Beverly's Records
More of Ken Boothe
Wavves: V
Tuff Scout: Inna London Dub
I-Roy: Cancer
Staple Singers: Respect Yourself
James Brown: Papa's Got A Brand New Bag
Subhumans: Rats 7"
and more reggae singles than I care to type out right now. I think I just started crawling down a rabbit hole that will never end with these.

Actually just found a couple more on my doorstep last night, straight from Jamaica. Jackie Opel's Greatest Hits on original Studio One and an original issue Studio One compilation called Oldies but Goodies with a ton of great pre-ska Jamaican soul and ska tracks. Strangely, the covers are absolutely trashed with rips and a really strong smoke odor, yet the vinyl inside is about as nice and clean as I've ever come across for Jamaican pressing of this era. Horrible covers, pristine vinyl. Much better than the other way around.

...

and more reggae singles than I care to type out right now. I think I just started crawling down a rabbit hole that will never end with these.



That's a good find for $2. I've been buying anything I can find from those old Preservation Hall players that I can find and have yet to be disappointed by any of the recordings. I'm pretty sure I have that one.

A local store that I sometimes shop at is known for their reggae 45 selection. I've avoided even looking at it because its a rabbit hole I don't want to go down. I've been disappointed at how hard it is to find 70's/80's reggae on lp though. When I started vinyl shopping last year, I figured that would be one of things I'd buy the most of but I've only found about 5-6 things so far at least at prices I was willing to pay.

Charity Shop finds this week

Image

A great 2 x LP with pretty much everything that happened between 1922-72. Clips from
the BBC sound archives includes the death of kings to The Goon Show to the sound of Big Ben.

A typeface that hints that the music within might be just a bit sexy but you can relax, it isn't.





Image

Two Dad's Army stars moaning about how there is Not Much Change from a pound,
gawd bless 'em.

Image




Image
Another 25p single I couldn't resist was this Danish instrumental from 1968
which sounds like a low budget Bonzos - Camp



Image
Bob Hardcastle gives a commentary on what is good recorded sound but unfortunately
it's all about classical music and absolutely nothing to do with Phil Collins.



Image

Best find of the week by a country mile was this Big Youth 7" Screaming Target from 1973 which
was the inspiration for Dawn Penn's You Don't Love Me (No,No,No) in this superb old sleeve.
