Apparently my Uncle asked my Father to donate these a few years ago. Found them on the week-end... they're mine now ;)
I can't remember if Vimeo embeds on QBN or not, sorry in advance if not. I wasn't going to post 150 pics:

various records I have picked up at the boots/charity shops/tip
over the last week or so
remember skipping this in bargain bins years ago so
finally bit the bullet and bought it and glad I did
as it's a good compilation with all the early singles
nice topical find with the film just out in UK
this was released on Spark Records in 1976
this was in the box alongside the 3 albums below so I kinda made the assumption they came from the same person,
but who knows?
3 early albums all signed by Sheila aka Monsoon -
shame the bottom of the LP sleeve is damaged
another good Indipop album was in there too, a compilation from 1983 with a Radio Northampton stamp on the label
this caught my eye as it is an early album by Maria Muldaur of Midnight At The Oasis fame
I got this as I liked the sleeve and it was 25p and flipping the sleeve discovered it is a rather excellent 12" by Momus = result!

late December finds
a great live Traffic album recorded at an Oz Benefit Concert,
London in 1971 includes the great Dave Mason song
'Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave'
I've always loved Spirit and although I already have this album
it was nice to find one in better condition than mine, this US copy
is from their mid 70's soft rock phase
their classic pop album with Sugar Baby Love on it, and it
came with an actual hat, 'Wear It's 'At' geddit?
this LP came in a plain white sleeve with 'Musical Knowledge
- Aural Tests' written along the top, and turns out to be a one
sided LP of classical music for students to identify for their CSE
music exam, I found the questions really hard, so god knows
what the O' Level was like!
this caught my eye as it was produced by legendary Jamaican
producer Coxsone Dodd and it turns out to be pretty sweet and
uplifting gospel music - best find of the week
I guess this is the Rugby Union equivalent of the popular 70's Liverpool football LP Kop Choir

Home for the holidays and I went digging for records at some thrift shops with one of my buddies. I scored these two records.
Boogiemonsters - "Honeydips in Gotham" 12" single
LL Cool J - "I Need Love" (A side); "My Rhyme Ain't Done" (B side) - 7" on 45

a few nice finds among the chaos of the tip shop today
I found the first ever Ron Grainer 78 in this same tip shop
a few weeks ago and today I found his classic TV theme
I have a few Butlins records but this was my first Pontins disc.
The woman 2nd left looks a bit like a young Lynda Bellingham
a private press single of poems laddie, no idea of the year of release but prob early 70's
a tatty UK sleeve but one I had never seen before
this may come in useful, come the glorious revolution brothers + sisters
I had no idea about this but it turns out to be a reggae version of the Rolf classic
the vinyl is VG but the sleeve is in beautiful condition, probably my best find of the day
I didn't leave it like this, someone seriously needs to tidy up a bit!
- fucking hell! that's a lot of vinyl! Doom one looks great. I'd have picked that up tooscruffics

checked out the tip/charity/junk shops of Milton Keynes
yesterday, mixed finds as usual but was most pleased
with the picture flexi discs!
plenty to rummage through on my first stop at Kiln Farm
I couldn't leave the 3rd album by The Singing Postman
especially as it looked unplayed
for some reason I actually have Volume III of this series
but this is the first time I've picked up #1
these 2 x pretty flexi-discs are like beautiful little
side-plates and came in die-cut fold-out paper sleeves.
a heavy metal Stars On 45 mix
this was a sweet find, I only just finished watching the
TV series recently too and am currently working my way
through the 3rd Thriller series now. I had not heard of the
B side programme Cover before
I have another LP by Ruth Wallis but hadn't seen this
before, 25p well spent in the charity shop on Stantonbury
college Campus
2 cuts from an album which I've never come across before
but I was pleased to find this 7" despite it's scratchy disc.

I found a few old record and stylus catalogues along
with inserts inside some of my album finds this week along
with some nice singles, nothing really rare but some are hard to find
even though it was only 50p I nearly put this back in the
box until just by chance I read the production credit to A Wizard
- A True Star which I can only assume is Todd Rundgren
although the music doesn't sound like the sort of thing he'd
normally do
I love these old advertising leaflets, this one is for the
Shure Stylus from 1974
two old TV shows on one 7" The Sky At Night theme
brought back memories even though it's not exactly all that catchy
I found this in a box of singles I won at an auction -
it was full of Roy Orbison and Karl Denver records
but for a winning bid of £3 the lot I was more pleased
to find this private press folk 7" from 1970 than the others
just some of the useful gadgets available circa 1972
thanks to the British Radio Corporation
I found one of these catalogues a while ago but not in as
good a condition as this one, a showcase of just some of
the great early 70's rock and jazz available on Probe Records,
musicassette and 8-track

picked up a whole load of Irish Civil Rights vinyl
at the tip-shop this morning, I guess they all came
from the same collection too as they were all grouped
together. I already had a couple of them but at £5 the
lot I think it was worth it.
They all date from the late 60's to the mid 70's,
and some make for very grim listening (if your English)

I found #0007 out of 7000 of Wilco's Alpha Mike Foxtrot 4LP box set.

One of my faves...
Also got a few of these...
Not worth much, just lovely to listen to and look at.

bloke at the market this morning had these 2 records
at £2 each (both for £3) I already have a few Spiderman
albums but these singles were a nice find.
They both date to the mid 70's and the PoTA
comic book/7" combo is fantastic!

first couple of days of Feb have turned up a few LP's
but am really looking forward to getting down on my
knees in the fields when the boots begin again rather
than these pretty grubby tip shops, but still managed
some nice finds.
it was the mere thought of a funky brass version The Exorcist
theme that made me pick this up!
I must have missed these Irish civil rights related LP's
the other week, singalong lyrics on the rear
the debut by The Tinkers on Pye
not an original copy but an unplayed Fame label re-issue
rear of the cover had coffee stains but the vinyl is clean
and a Go Beat original
one to trade on as I already have this, but someone
has gaily rubbed out the price on the stickerbut from my own copy luckily I know the 'Gay Price'

i haven't posted in a while, but still have been picking up some nice stuff. just need to get my shit together and post some pictures

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 : http://www.mediafire.com/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
