I had a great day here last weekend, I have been to the previous 2 Groovy Record Fayres but this one seemed to be the busiest so far. Celeb spotting was always fun but I didn't see Stewart Lee or Thurston Moore this time but chatted to Gilles Peterson who picked up some Albert Ayler albums and DJ Food found some nice singles on my stall. I spent over £100 on LP's & 7"s but took over £600 so it was worth the ULEZ charge, parking fees and even the 3 hour journey home (thanks for playing at home on the same day Arsenal, cheers!) These are just a few of the singles I found and most were only £1 each, some incredibly good stalls on the two floors, one guy had dozens of singles priced at over £3,000 each! but it certainly helped me to be there early to find the cheap stuff.
I was quite excited to find this one had a selection of photos inside the sleeve as I flipped the disc out, they could have been Beatles related but instead turned out to be someone's early 60's climbing adventure.
Lovely sleeve for this early 70's advert sung by Samantha Jones for the Ford TC-1.
I'd never come across a good copy of the UK debut 7" by one of my favourite bands, love that price sticker too.
I've a white label test pressing of this great and truly fucked up record, but have never come across an original stock copy before.
Sadly not a bra advert disc as the record that comes with it is a promotional EP featuring Scott Walker & Dusty Springfield, could have been worse I guess.
How could I leave this in a pound box?! Sadly not from the TV show of the same name but a West End musical from the late 60's.
This was probably the rarest find, I picked it up for the title alone and it's musical style is chutney.
The top one caught my eye as it was written by Jeff Lynne and it turned out to be released the same month as his debut LP with The Idle Race and the one below name checked Robert Smith's band.
This French band hit both big mid 70's trends with one record.
Great mid 60's EP by Georgie Fame with a sleeve photo by Dezo Hoffmann.
Anything on this label is always of interest and this one doesn't disappoint.
It's not all that rare but I've never seen or heard this one before.
This one though is pretty rare, the debut record by Dame Edna himself released in Australia only in 1958.
