A lovely lass on the cover of this flexi who may well have been the inspiration for 10cc's hit single released a year later.
A singer I'd not heard of before but she was given a lavish tri-fold out sleeve for what I can only assume was her only release. The greetings card + 7" single trick I had seen before but this was issued to raise money for disabled kids, although the poor things were not called that back in 1969. Interestingly the organist on this later went on to play at the wedding of the Earl & Countess Spencer and performed for Princess Diana and Prince Charles.
In the same box at the Wellingborough market I also came across this 7" released on the same small Northamptonshire based label. The Pauline Huckle 7" above was honoured with Janay 0001 and this is Janay 0003, but who knows what Janay 0002 is or even if there was a Janay 0004, we may never know...
This pair of acetates also came from the same box as above, they're both early 60's recordings of horse races including a lot of banter about the different horses chances of winning. Not sure who the market was for these recordings and I doubt they were ever going to make the top 10 charts but there's neigh chance I would be selling them.
Released at the end of 1973 LFC were Division 1 Champions and won the UEFA Cup that year, best less said about the season 50 years later.
Promo spoken word disc given away with every purchase of the latest smell or lipstick or eye shadow at the ladies counter in posh stores, in the 60's, probably.
Late 70's Scottish comedy record, probably criminal, signed on the back to Peter.
A pretty brilliant compilation of Stax in their prime with Booket T, Sam & Dave, Otis, Eddie Floyd etc and the immortal Soul Finger.
When I saw the cover I assumed this was some dippy hippy album but it's actually a late 80's band on SST who sound like some bizarre cross between Television & Grateful Dead. The smash hole through the label adds an extra charm that thankfully doesn't affect the music on the grooves.
A couple of groovy things came in the post this week including the latest 5" one sided white vinyl mini-single released by R-Bennig Records. I am heading down to North Wales next week for their Disappointing Welsh Arts Week event in Bangor and looking forward to meeting their main-man Johnny R. who has been kindly keeping me in their releases for over 20 years, and on Wednesday I'll finally get to meet him!
This is a handmade 5" wooden disc which spins around to reveal the moon cycles, it's available via the Oxfordshire based artist Duotone.
