    Despite arriving late (8am) I picked up a handful of nice albums at the car boot this morning, a Malaysian couple had a box of LP's most folks seemed to have ignored as I assume they just thought it was weird foreign music. There were a several I took a punt on because they looked interesting and were cheap, along with a few by Teresa Teng who is rarely spotted out in the wilds of Scotland!


    Reg Guitar or Reggie Verghese as his mum knew him was a famous guitarist and producer in Singapore during the 60's/70's and had his own band called The Quests who were comparable to The Tornados or The Shadows. Released in 1974 this album is one of his several solo albums.


    A more traditional folky instrumental collection in the box from 1969.

    I guess the couple must have travelled around the world a few times too from New Zealand...

    To Spain...

    Love that little sticker on the front!

    Other odds and ends.


    I found the same chap's Lost Sheep 7" recently and this is his first single issued on 12" and produced by Ron & Russell of Sparks.

    I'm a sucker for a good poetry album.


    Oddity from 1963 which features a calypso tune and the future Tory MP Sir Keith Joseph giving a speech on the flip asking to Keep Britain Tidy. He was later to become Thatcher's Secretary of State for Education and was involved in the introduction of GCSE exams.


    A drug company promo to persuade doctors to prescribe the sedative Lormetazepam on one side and 2 pieces of classical music on the othe......zzzzzzzzzz
