This weeks more interesting vinyl finds, there were loads of others not quite so interesting (to me) but they are now in my car boot and heading to the local Cancer Research in the morning.
A great messed up version of 'Je t'aime' allegedly from a film that I could find absolutely no info on ever being released in the 70's. Curiously the copy listed on Discogs/45cat etc is a version that has a blank B side, but this copy has 2 versions including a Disco Mix (!?) and as an extra twist I have a white label copy which I've had for years which is 2 sided too, I've never come across the one sided one, yet.
I spotted a local listing of records on Facebook Marketplace in the week and I went round to the chaps house to have a dig. He had hundreds of 7"s and a few nice albums (and loads of crap ones too of course) but there, in a box with about 30 Elvis albums were these 3 singles by Nico. I was blown away at such a find and when he said that all the records were a quid each, well I filled my (car) boots.
The 'Desolation Angel' EP is an Italian bootleg and the sleeve came fully laminated along with an insert, simply beautiful.
A non-hit wonder from the early 80's with it's useful lyrics for the B side 'Chat Up Lines' printed on the back of the sleeve.
I love coming across old records still in their original mailers and this one came complete with order form and letter to the Head Teacher from EMI extolling the virtues of poetry for kids, I might be wrong but I doubt they still do such poetry reading in schools today.
A lovelee olde recorde frome nineteen seventee eight by ye Courte Singers.A mixed selection of jazz and funky stuff turned up at the car boot this morning including these albums.
Pretty good covers of old R&B tunes.
This first came out on Blue Note in 1968 but this is a US label variant from 1970.
I found another interesting sleeveless record in lovely condition, one day my sleeve will come...
Sweet original UK pressing in great condition, though the gate-fold sleeve has some wear but for a couple of quid i think I'll cope.
