I went to an auction in town yesterday as there were no car boots, they had literally thousands
of albums all piled up at £1 each. It was first come first served, there were some I got just coz
they looked interesting by the sleeves but I came away very happy (there were loads more too
but these are the pick of the lot)

some sweet finds at the recycling depot this morning,
on top of a nice fish tank ornament and an old newspaper
from 1912. An odd mix of Jamaican Calypso, Jazz Blues
+ an unusual 78rpm - all 50p each!Jamaican issue released on Dynamic in 1976
this could be early 70's the track Rope was a single taken from it
Blues Jazz in Quad from 1973 in a beautiful gate-fold sleeve
great sleeve for this Jazz Fusion LP from 1977
with a bit of research I discovered this dates from around 1944a hip vicar talks about the history of Jazz from 1926 to 1952

some odd bits I found at the re-cycle depot yesterday, 7" are 50p + LP's a £1
best find of the day was this beautiful 12" single by Macedonian group Anastasiaanother nice find was the original UK pressing of this album, the track-listing says it all really
featuring a track called 'Morrissey and The Russian Sailor' sadly not about the man himself
late 60's UK budget issue of the 1959 original in a totally different sleeveif your grandad was from Norfolk and recorded a folk LP it would probably have sounded like this
the pick of the singles, there were plenty more bird sounds 7"s released in this series by the narrator, but this is the 1st one
a few nice European Folk EP's were lurking amongst the Joe Loss & Mantovani LP's
I thought this might be a comedy record, alas it is just a dry read through by the author of Parkinson's Law
an upbeat and typically silly tune sung with great enthusiasm by Spike, with his take on Silent Night on the flip

I guess it's a sign that the local Polish community in town
are culling their collections now as I am finding a lot more
European vinyl in the charity shops. I bumped into a guy
on his way back from a shop this morning clutching a pile
of weird Polish folk and psych albums (as well as a copy
of This is Magic Mixture!) which he had just found in the
local Red Cross, by the time I got there it was only 7"s left
but there are more LP's going out on Thursday apparently.
Among these mostly mid 60's singles were some original
Jerry Lee Lewis and Jackie Wilson discs, but these were
the more unusual finds
4 track EP issued by Polish Airways in the 60'sIrena Santor is a huge star in Poland, these were her first singles
Bogdan Lazuka EP
Tadeusz Chyla EPpostcard flexi from 1973 with it's original mailer
Russian cruise liner souvenir from 1980

^ Good work G. I have been a bit slack digging and posting about it. Here are a few highlights from the last month. There are still a few old school soviet releases I haven't photographed yet. One is a really cool flexidisc magazine – you really have to see it to believe it.
Anywho, classic:
found my first Pink Floyd the other day as well:
some rare Detroit electro apparently. quite into it:
The Isaac Hayes Movement:
Todd Runtgren - I saw the light
unofficial Rolling Stones compilation from the CCCP:
it's got all the good tunes on itand the only Pink Floyd that was released in the CCCP:
(my dad used to have this same one and it's the first Pink Floyd i've ever heard)- liking that Stones comp and the Japanese LP, sweet

have picked up some nice bits + bobs this week,
a run of Van Morrison and Roy Harper albums along
with these records, it helped that 2 of my regular ladies
in the charity shops have been keeping stuff by for me,
so I bless them!best find of the week was this very odd album of Communist
Party folk songs issued in 1979 on a red label of course,
gotta love those song titles!
also in the same box was this 1970 album by the ex Monkee man
a nice pair of early 70's issues by the great Brazillian guitarist
they may wear cheesy suits their music is pretty good,
especially 'Jam If You Jamming'I have a yellow vinyl copy of this LP but it's disappeared somewhere...
I'll have to keep this one as it's blue, I don't think it comes
in any other colourI took a chance on this and am glad I did as it's got a lovely
gentle Jazz vibe to it and it came with a sheet music insert -
a private pressing 12" from 1988I paid £1.50 for this (more than I usually do, haha) I assume
it's a promo vinyl issue for one of the NME cassettes they issued
in the 80's - several of which I still keep despite not owning a tape
deck for over 20 years.- nice! the commie one looks great! would would would.scruffics

finally got the flexidisc magazine thingie back after my mate digitised it for me
there are 6 discs inside full of soviet propaganda, some old folk songs, poetry, interviews and modern soviet bands (couple of nice psych tunes on this one actually):
and the last one always had some foreign tunes. this particular one had a couple by Lata Mangeshkar:

here is more soviet shit i picked up while in Estonia.
this is the 1st album by a Latvian space-rock studio band. they were massive back in the day. one of the tracks was sampled quite heavily by Dabrye
http://www.whosampled.com/sample…here's the 2nd album. released to celebrate 25 years of the soviet space program:

and here's some more digs from today.
The Wiseguys - The Antidote (2xLP, UK hip-hops):
Mike Oldfield - Hergest Ridge
(£2 - more than what i usually spent. let's hope it's good – i haven't had a listen yet)El-Malo (in my own words, this is Japanese version of Beck. has i couple of nice psychedelic tracks)

a box came into the tip shop last week all in brown
card sleeves and was just dumped on top of a pile
of crap LP's and I went through and pulled 52 out -
a whole run of Kinks including 'You Still Want Me'
which I swear I knew nothing about. Along with Stones,
Screaming Lord Sutch, The Undertakers and I offered
him a fiver for the lot and he said yes as he knows fuckall
about records - there were original Stones & Kinks &
Searchers albums too but they were 50p each -
it restores my faith that stuff is still out there if you dig!
