I did Coventry record fair over the weekend and picked up some nice bits and cleared out a lot of old vinyl
2 x boxes, one £5 the other £10 a pop. These were the albums I found, I was happy to pay £10 for the ELO
as it was blue + complete with all the bits including an unused spaceship!


Image

Image


some £1 box finds

Image

Image

Image

the gatefold inner of Loving Awareness shows the band in class, they soon morphed into the original Blockheads

Image



and some £5 finds

Image

Image

Image

this was only VG condition but plays well and has a cracking 9 min version of You Keep Me Hangin' On

all released on The Catholic Record Club label based in Cork, 1960's and good value at 2 sermons per disc,
praise be!

Nice find on the Maytals.

My latest:

Justin Love: Rock-Ola & Justin Trouble
Saw a reissue of Rock-Ola the other day and considered grabbing it, but didn't as I was on bike with no way to carry, then came across this pair of originals so all's well that ends well.

Ok, so these aren't vinyl, but coming across these old reel to reels was pretty fun for me as I seldom come across them.

Along with a huge collection of cheap Mad Professor/Scientist/African Headcharge etc CD's
which I found at the car boots this morning, there were other nice odds and ends in the fields.

Image
side 1 of this 7" from 1972 features music by Cathy Berberian who is mentioned in the Steely Dan song
Your Gold Teeth from the LP Countdown to Ecstasy :"Even Cathy Berberian knows / There's one roulade she can't sing."



Image
this was a nice find but is the 1980 re-issue on Snotty Snail Records,
however it still features the song Gary Bushell's Band Of The Week on the flip



Image
a run of kids EP's released in the early 70's on Kiwi Records




Image

Image

Image

these British Wild Life sound effects singles were a pleasant surprise as
they all feature a selection of photo slides inside the booklet/gatefold sleeves

Image





Image
a couple of classic soundtracks



Image
a stash of On-U Sounds


Image
from the BBC TV show circa 1971


Image

best find of the day was this scarce US compilation of dopey old 78's

Well, not a cheapie but the cheapest copy of this I've ever come across just happened to also be an unplayed copy on Wax Trax, which I then could not resist.

I was pleased to find these 2 old schools records earlier today, issued in 1972 on Universal Edition Records.
I could find very little info about them online but they will have come with teachers books at the time of release,
the one accompanying the Hear & Now single is available for £50+ on Amazon.
Jonny Trunk also used 2 excerpts on this 7" for his Classroom Projects compilation album.

Image

Image

Image
listen to side 1

Image
listen to side 2

Image
other records are also available at reasonable prices




This other disc is introduced by John Hosier and features music performed by
St. Anne's Girls School in Southampton also in 1972.

The fun thing about this find was that it came with a promotional biography and a glossy inside.

James Blood Ulmer: Odyssey

Music's quite nice as well.

I've picked up some nice 7"s and 10"'s finds on my travels, nothing more than £1 a pop


Image
This was in the 25p each or 5 x £1 box at the recycling centre, I didn't realise it was so rare
until I got home as I just didn't recognise the tune. Turns out to be one of the rarest Clapton 7"
due to it being withdrawn by the band as the didn't like it sounding quite so fast.


Image
1st track from their LP Surf's Up released as an A side in UK and B side in America.



Image
Early Strawbs release pre Lay Down their debut UK hit




Image
A cute American 5" single which oddly flipped Another Nail In My Heart to the B side


Image
Not from the album Quadrophenia but 'From The Musical Work'




Image
It's a bit rubbish and I don't need it but I just couldn't leave this in the box



Image
The seller wanted the princely sum of 50 pence for this ten inches of pleasure



Image
Best buy was this beautiful original 78 by MM in NM condition



Image
This 10" EP by Tom Waits was an unexpected delight too!

tip shop finds earlier today

Image
this little beauty was 20p but I swear I never realised it was quite so rare it just looked interesting.
Turns out to feature one of Jimmy Page's early session jobs and is worth a few quid.



Image
sorry but I guess I must have bought this for the sleeve



Image
great songs and poems from Derbyshire circa 1978 came complete with lyric booklet




Image
a well spent £1 for a soundtrack album to a film I've never heard of but it has a great tracklist



Image
in the same box was this LP of Olde English tunes arranged by Ray 'Funky Trumpet' Davies



Image
great Latin Allstars compilation of Bongo beats released in 1961



Image
as if I didn't have enough sounds of birds albums now I've got an album of songs about birds by an unpronounceable band



Image

the wonderful sound of dripping, in it's original bag!

Image



Image

charming Folk on Topic from 1962

Image




Image

clearly the Lovers Rock singer's debut album produced by Lloyd Charmers

I had a tip-off at the weekend from a friend who works for a local BBC radio station
that they were planning on skipping all their vinyl as "nobody here plays it anymore".
Music to my ears, especially when he offered me to come down and help myself for free!
It seems some radio folks had got there before me but I still dug up a lot of rare and unusual stuff,
African music, Electronica, Sound FX singles from the 60's etc.
They were dumping lots of studio equipment too but i know nothing of such tech and was told
to leave it alone anyway.

Image

There were quite a few Folk albums too so am slowly going through those today in my cellar.

Image

The 7" singles caught my eye at the back of the BBC dungeon, I put a word in
to try and nab the lovely shelves they were on but alas they had been earmarked.

Image


However... I did stumble across this wee gem, I had never seen one before and couldn't find
anything about it on the Bill Nelson site apart from the 12" and CD versions but here was a near
mint promo copy of this brilliant and beautiful tune. It has AA on each side of the label and the
same track on each with A1 in both sides of the matrix run out grooves : listen

Image

Image

will post more pics of finds as I dig deeper into this here pile

then a few dozen turn up all at once!
