I bought and sold well at Reading record fair yesterday, these are some of the 78's picked up at various prices from 75p to £2 and there were some LP's and 7"s but I'll post those later. This 78 is especially rare as it was a charity single and includes a spoken introduction by The Queen's husband into a song sung by Frank Sinatra and featured in ‘Gay’s The Word’ the last stage show written by Ivor Novello in 1951 - listen a French disc in beautiful near mint condition, with a bit of research I found it was released in 1947 and was the debut release by The Charlie Parker Quartet a one-sided acetate by Quintette Of Hot Club of France aka Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli Billy Costello, the original voice of Popeye sings this song and 'Blow The Man Down' both from the 1930's |

recent LP vinyl finds, some of these were in a box with a few gold London label 7"s, they were a bit tatty and some had lost their tri-centres but nice to find anyway! I actually nearly left this as I knew nothing about it and some other records caught my eye, but am so glad I did pick it up as it turns out to be really good and also pretty rare as well as a big blue sticker in the middle. another scarce find was this 2nd LP by Sixto Rodriguez the cover of which I didn't quite recognise until I realized someone had actually cut the front flap off! This too turned out to be a lovely listen and an absolute keeper one of several Christian folk albums in with a job lot I won for £2 at the auction yesterday, this one from 1970 by Larry Groce was the pick of the bunch also in the same box was this record of old woodwind instrument sounds, the intro's in a really plummy voice alone are well worthy of sampling I guess it's fate that this turned up too as I only just started watching re-runs of The New Avengers at the weekend, I am neither convinced nor scared of the blokes with guns on the rear of the sleeve This great old On-U Sound album was in the box at Age Concern this morning for 49p I already have it on vinyl & CD but could hardly leave it, especially as it had these 2 x A4 sheets including the original press release for this and the brilliant End of The Century Party by Gary Clail oddest find of the week was this American album from 1967 which has some good spoken word samples it comes with strange sleeve notes and a little info booklet |

I took off on a two tip-shop trip today with naturally mixed results. The mess of vinyl below was sold to a bloke who came in while I was there and he paid £40 for the lot, but most had been digged through and not before I had spent half an hour grubbing about. this 1972 stars of wrestling 7" sounds as good as any England football team record, I only remember the wrestler Mick McManus among all these big boned stars this Italian picture sleeve is different to UK issue soundtrack to the 1986 movie Biggles features Deep Purple, Jon Anderson and wacky dialogue clips at another tip-shop I had better digs as they had just had a delivery I picked up this bootleg out of curiosity but have not yet heard it, but worth a 50p punt in the same pile was this disco 12" by the ex ballet dancer, WS1 indeed! this was mixed in with several Flowered Up 12"s (I did pick up Weekender) cover versions from 1974 by the pipe toting Spanish guitarist Stephanie De Sykes sings on the wedding album of the year 1975 this ended up being the only single I found in the vinyl piles |

a couple of unexpected finds at the indoor car boot this morning spookily I also met my own local Ghost Detective at a car boot yesterday, our paths had first crossed several years ago when I met him in the village and he told me of his other great love, David Bowie! listen to side 1 : here - he also gave me his card OK it's not vinyl but another nice find was this 1950's board game, it has a few dice missing but is otherwise in excellent condition and comes with it's own money but the values on the teams has changed quite a bit |

albums I have found in various tip/charity/2nd hand shops in the past week I only have an old best of Donovan LP so was pleased to come across this box set for a pound, however as I picked it up without checking it's contents I discovered it only had 2 of the 4 original discs inside, still quite a nice find though. the cover alone caught my eye and despite not knowing who the composer was I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely ambient Jean Michel Jarresque sounds on it. Richard Harvey used to be in Welsh proggers Gryphon. another LP which I picked up by chance (often the best way) was this album by possibly the worlds greatest ever George Formby impersonator, and yes it has When I'm Cleaning Windows on it! my best find was this scarce album originally given to new employees of Dollond & Aitchison Opticians instructing them how to sell even more spectacles. among a box of pretty tatty Folk albums was this near mint copy by The Cheviot Hills released on the blue Topic label in 1973 although this had seen better days I had to pick it up as it was only 50p a truly great compilation of old radio show themes a Disco(?!) promo 7" had been slipped inside the gate-fold sleeve and was signed too! |

Today we had the first big car boot round these parts, I was wandering around a field somewhere in Northamptonshire by 6.15am but it was just as well as I would not have found the vinyl booty below. A whole bunch of them came from the same stall and nothing was more than a pound. The BIG one starts in 2 weeks time but this was a good start to the booting season. The stall I found most of the records on had a pile just dumped on their table and when flicking through I just decided it was easier to get the lot, this was probably the best of the bunch, a Woody Guthrie 10" on Folkways from 1950. an early Peggy Seeger 10" from the 50's US Blues radio show on WFMT With Big Bill Broonzy And Pete Seeger Folkways album + booklet from 1966 a lovely 1973 Folk album on Topic by Peta Webb which was stone mint! A curious oddity, I have not listened to it yet but the sleeve notes hint at a Spiritualist theme, it was released in 1973 on White eagle A lovely 2 x vinyl issue of one of the best DCD LP's released in 1993 all 3 This Mortal Coil albums in the same box too, I only had this on CD before today Oddest find of the day was this private pressing of an album by Ashdon Wait, I couldn't find anything about this online but another LP by them is quite scarce, of course that doesn't mean it's gonna be any good though! |

Finishing up building the record shelves. Just need to sand and finish now. I'll have about 112 linear feet of shelf space. And, a little cassette storage as well... |

Post subject: | Re: Recent Vinyl Finds |
vinyl finds over the last weekend one of several albums I found in the same box, this is a great compilation of Stiffs and this solo Stiff comes in fetching shade of blue, but hey it could have been yellow! very odd Italian compilation put together to promote Lycra, not a great surprise to see Rod Stewart featured then, but I wonder if Roxy Music sax player Andy Mackay knew his image was being used for the cover? lovely sleeve from Mr & Mrs Fripp but not heard it's contents yet, released on EG in '86 a quick search on this charity single by the ex ELO bassist found it to be scarce now, so not enough folk were prepared to stump up the 89p or whatever it was in 1985 to help the poor animals, but at least I gave 50p to a charity shop for it! a few tip-shop finds turned up the LP in it's horrible sleeve above and a totally bizarre disc of recordings of Futurist & Dada sound works dating as far back as WW1. This was released on ARK Records in 1985 and comes complete with a booklet. if this was a souvenir of NYC circa 1967 then I would have hoped for a more eclectic set of tunes than this fairly safe selection from 1964 - still, a great pic of Manhattan on the front |

some nice finds at one of the first big boots of the season, it was bloody cold and damp at 6.30am but seems to have been worth it - there are several on Monday too but will be away so will miss them all, oh woe... a decent compilation of mid 70's themes by the original artists a nice pair of German lasses, sorry I mean nice Sound Effects records also in the same box as the German FX LP's was the best find, an album in a tri-fold sleeve which seems (judging by the enclosed letter) to have been sent to a Mr. Duncan c/o Vauxhall in Luton the record itself tells the story of the Bugatti car. I have seen many Sergio Mendes albums over the years but this is the first time I'd come across this live one another album I had not seen before was this Caravan album released on Kingdom Records in 1980 (I actually paid £3 for this, 3 times what I usually pay for records, so it better be good!) I have been collecting unusual 78's for a while now and so couldn't resist this one an odd looking comp with an unreleased Billy Connolly track released on Transatlantic in 1974 it was only 50p but some of these old school recordings can have interesting tracks on, grim sleeve though and the only single I have picked up this week was given to me for nothing by a kind old chap I met at the car boot and after chatting to him for a while insisted I have it for free! |

That Michigan & Smiley is a good find. 70's and 80's Reggae seems to be among the hardest things to find on vinyl. |

billy g Wrote: That Michigan & Smiley is a good find. 70's and 80's Reggae seems to be among the hardest things to find on vinyl. Yeah, that was a big find. Hard to find original copies at even higher prices in pristine condition, and this one was pretty cheap. But yeah, all three made for a nice day. Just picked up another haul, including an original Artistry of Stan Getz 10" in great shape, along with an old 10" Django Reinhardt: Swing from Paris and some others. These 10" ones the guy just threw in for nothing, along with some old red vinyl Japanese records, including the first Marianne Faithfull, Del Shannon, and the Your Cheatin Heart Soundtrack, sunk by Hank Jr. |

OK, now this one I paid retail for, but so far it's worth every penny. Kruder & Dorfmeister: K&D Sessions Newly reissued on vinyl, finally. Three bonus tracks add up to a 5LP set. The pressing and the remaster are fantastic and sound amazing. Comes with a 24 bit wave file download of the whole thing as well. If you like this album, and you're into vinyl, you should grab one of these before they fade away. |

Just back from a break in Cumbria with some digging between fell climbing with a few unexpected finds. and an early car boot turned up some nice 7"s but it was the charity shops of Whitehaven & Maryport that came up with the LP's, including this first one which I had only heard about but never seen before! in the same box as the Savile LP was this spoken word adaptation of the 18th Century erotic novel 'Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure' read by Mary Harrison - released on Dial in 1964 bizarrely priced at 29p I would have left it had I not turned it over and noticed an unexpected special guest most of these singles below were from the same stall for 50p each and I was pissed I missed one box of 60's EP's some the guy cleaned him out as I was standing there... early Private Eye single - I have most of the flexis and LP's but this is the first hard vinyl PE single I've found great Cook & Moore 7" in beautiful condition one of the few EP's I did manage to get my hands on, original unboxed label I recognised Jah Wobble from the cover but there is little other info on the sleeve or label as to who this record is by - the white label has Dan MacArthur on both sides but the a-side plays Beat the Drum For Me, the b-side is a faded-out version of Dan McArthur and has JW being cheeky on the rear of the sleeve. great Glam rocker demo from 1973 |

Another good day. Got a copy of Rico: Man from Wareika for 3 bucks, record is close to mint, cover has a small price tag tear but otherwise in fine shape. Also grabbed a cheap copy of The Jam: Beat Surrender 2 x 7". |

a nice mix of albums at the boots this morning - nothing more than a quid! this scarce Elvis album below was £1.50 though and is near mint but not really my cuppa tea the best finds were a couple of nice singles including this EP by Dave (Mudge) + Tim (Clutterbuck) released in 1968 and this Oak EP which I hadn't seen before this folder/booklet issued by The National Union of Boot & Shoe Operatives had a flexi-disc by Acker Bilk tucked inside the front inner sleeve along with an application form, it all looked like it hadn't been touched since it was released in the early 1960's |

a few more things I found over the weekend and earlier today in the charity shops the last thing I expected to come across was this CRASS album in the Mind shop I have a copy of this LP already but what was the big surprise was the paper strip that originally went around the outside of the cover hidden away inside! some old fitness albums can be quite good but I wasn't expecting to find the inserts in this copy picked up a whole run of 10 Iron Maiden 12" double packs, managed to get the lot for £25 the CRASS box set actually was £5 like the spine demands always nice to find a some 78's too, the Basil & Ivor Kirchin one was the best this advertising 7" for the Peugeot 104 was the only 7" I picked up today, someone had to! |

I hear ya, I am trying to limit myself to 1 or 2 at a time. I listen more to the ones I get and am better off spending a bit more per record and getting things I really, really want than just going into new vinyl overload. But when you come across a good deal somewhere... well, I am only human. Looks like quite a haul of billy g music there. That Mel & Tim album is a nice find. |
