    albums I have found in various tip/charity/2nd hand shops
    in the past week

    I only have an old best of Donovan LP so was pleased
    to come across this box set for a pound, however as I
    picked it up without checking it's contents I discovered
    it only had 2 of the 4 original discs inside,
    still quite a nice find though.

    the cover alone caught my eye and despite not knowing
    who the composer was I was pleasantly surprised by the
    lovely ambient Jean Michel Jarresque sounds on it.
    Richard Harvey used to be in Welsh proggers Gryphon.

    another LP which I picked up by chance (often the best way)
    was this album by possibly the worlds greatest ever George
    Formby impersonator, and yes it has When I'm Cleaning Windows
    on it!

    my best find was this scarce album originally given
    to new employees of Dollond & Aitchison Opticians
    instructing them how to sell even more spectacles.

    among a box of pretty tatty Folk albums was this near
    mint copy by The Cheviot Hills released on the blue
    Topic label in 1973

    although this had seen better days I had to pick it up
    as it was only 50p

    a truly great compilation of old radio show themes

    a Disco(?!) promo 7" had been slipped inside the gate-fold sleeve and was signed too!
