Some odd 7"s I've recently found in boxes under coats in charity shops, a village auction house and a shipping container at Scotland's largest car boot.
George Harrison was behind this deeply dippy hippy peace chant from 1969, hear both sides, now.
A lovely original picture sleeve for the Thunderbirds Theme and although this one was a bit grubby but the disc is decent.
From a handful of Calypso discs in the same box, I liked this one for it's sleeve which is from Trinidad advertising BWIA (British West Indian Airways) who folded in the early 00's to become Caribbean Airways.
Also released as part of their Heads Down, No Nonsense, Mindless Boogie 2 x singles pack + 75p sticker, this version has the sleeve & label redacted, the other pressing didn't so not sure why they did it on this.
First issued in 1939 and a UK #1 in 1982, however this version didn't even scrape into the charts.
Another non-charting record was this debut release by J.G. Thirlwell which was in an auction win of heavy metal records. I was really pleased to find this as I have never come across one of his 7" singles before.
I had a pang of déjà vu when I saw this as I can't help thinking that for some bizarre reason I already have this 4 track EP by the Sheffield Youth Squash Choir.
