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.
There were quite a few Folk albums too so am slowly going through those today in my cellar.
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.
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
will post more pics of finds as I dig deeper into this here pile
