I've had a great week digging and even purchased a classical music collection which was mostly albums but in with the lot were a few 78 gems including this one.

This is without a doubt the most stunning and quite beautiful find this week, a really heavy 2 sided 12" French picture disc which was released in the early 50's

Another nice find was this one off metal acetate, again most likely from the 50's as most of the other records were, but I couldn't find any info about the artist or the music anywhere so it's pretty unique and it's certainly the heaviest record I've ever seen.
Funnily enough most of the other records I found were on the way to buy the collection and I passed through 2 car boots en route. I picked up some nice South African 7"s and this debut album by Sarah Jory who was then 'Britain's Youngest Pedal Steel Guitarist'. She later went on to form her own band, touring with Eric Clapton and Glen Campbell and she also played with Van Morrison and performed on his albums Keep It Simple and Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl.
7" odds 'n' ends
Canadian EP promoting Coca Cola, a really cool sticker on one label states 'Jeans 'n Things - in Newfoundland'.
Scarce (probably because nobody bought it in 1962) single by Johnny Victory, but I did so in 2023.
One stall at the boot had about 20 Christian Folk EPs but I only liked the look of 6 of them including this one from '69.
Double A side flop at the height of punk but this sounds pretty good 45 years on with it's "you're life is a farce, you're a pain in the arse" lyrics.
Greetings Pop Pickers this was the debut 7" by Alan 'Fluff' Freeman issued in South Africa in 1962, not arf! The Talmy Band refers to Shel Talmy, who was to go on to produce The Kinks, The Who, Pentangle and many others, this was his first release too.
