I got sent a bundle of random 80s seven inches from a cool record/tape label in Japan. Other musicians have received random bundles too. The idea is to sample the sevens and create new songs then a compilation album may be created with the outcomes.
This is one of the labels. Looks pretty dodgy!!!!

Q: when is a record not a record?
A: when it's a party invitation!
It's a flexi-disc but has no music/speech on either side and
it comes in a proper 7" sleeve but is actually just a invitation.

Fresh things I've found charity shops
and one thing I bought in a proper shop
A sweet flexi find on the front of an old Private Eye
Teach yerself ballet kit with added paperwork
including a quite strict returns policy
From the same box, the artwork on the sleeve of this
German pressing makes it another dance related LP
A fairly obscure library music album on Oak,
however it really doesn't sound in the least bit African
A red label Trailer Records collection of Ye Olde Geordie songsI have found a right hotchpotch of weird singles recently
and certainly none weirder than this!
A one-sided, white label test press from the early 70's at a guess
A pair of football records I don't think I already have,
the Brighton one is a 12" btw
I probably paid more for this lovely new picture disc
than all the other records above put together
- Wow, that Private Eye find is superb!Eighty

I got me some new old vinyl along with new new vinyl treats
Space Age pop from '58
I had to "sit" to listen to this.
"G" string sadly long gone but the outline of one
is still just visible on the sleeve.
Quite nice Xian folk from '79 by Brian Wilson but not THE Brian Wilson.It wouldn't be a good week without finding a few flexi-discs
and some unexpected delights I had not come across before
The original version as used recently on TV
ooh, those cheeky loco's
A nice pair of albums I can recommend that I've picked up online

some recent super seven inch finds
A curious find in a charity shop bin, more info here :
http://www.45cat.com/record/dlc6…
suitably creepy (crawly) sound effects
With relegation from the Premiership looming for WBA
it was all so different 50 years ago...
hilarious
A great organ and fuzzy guitar tune
I have tried playing this bizarre 3 holed copy
but it's the middle one that still works best
nice UK promo of the Spaghetti Western whistler,
produced by the German Jack White
A reggae tune about getting a headache from smoking too much weed, probably
find of the week was this single I had never come across before,
a catchy cut from the Mothers at Fillmore East LP- hah, when electric prunes aren't psychadelic enough fo ya. i wonder if that was axelrod's copy! :-D i now really want that insects 7"kingsteven

more seven inches, mostly from the first car boot of the season - hurrah!
A great Mick Ronson cover version from 1980
in an exclusive German picture cover.
Late period Slits
The sound of old aeroplanes on a mini-lp in a fold-out
sleeve and promise of a poster, sadly missing
This is the first time I have seen this BBC themes
mega-mix (credited to Tony Blackburn's producer
Phil "the collector" Swern)
The same goes for this Glammy Pop which
I completely missed out on at the time
A KB 7" that never seems to crop up very often
A mysterious one sided acetate with no info
only a solo folky tune on it
the only single ever released by C.O.B.
which stands for Clive's Original Band - Clive Palmer that is
This was probably the rarest find of the week was
this theme to the Sherlock Holmes movie from 1965
The same song that Cliff came 2nd with at Eurovision in 1968
how strange that the label name checks the festival
Written and produced my the late Bill Maynard -
the BMA logo was no doubt separated at birth with
4 track official bootleg from 1978
A football record I had never seen before,
in an ad heavy gate-fold sleeve

I only went to one car boot this morning but it was
a local village garage sale that came up trumps with
a big haul of rock albums at £2 a pop including Sabbath,
Yes, Floyd etc, to find all the Led Zeppelin back catalogue
in one box was a first for me.
They were not the best finds of the glorious sunny day
but I was glad I dragged myself up and out at 6am.
All in lovely condition and an In Through The Out Door
I didn't have which makes it 3 down 3 to go.
Swansong released the LP in 6 different sleeves -
you got it in a paper bag so never knew which one would be in it.
There were several Who albums too,
the smartest of the bunch was this UK first pressing with booklet.
The sweetest of £1 garage sale finds (the guy literally
went into his garage and pulled out a pile of LP's from
a cupboard) was this beautiful UK original of their debut
from '65, it's a keeper!
The same pile had this boxed album sitting on the bottom,
it even came with the original drumsticks,
"I bought it for my son in the 60's but he never used it"
Back of the box lists a mind-boggling amount of other releases on the same label
Early 60's TV space show theme, I wasn't too fussed
it didn't have the original picture sleeve

lovely finds at the car boots/charity shops/record fair this week
This selection of 3 for £1 mostly Punk/New Wave 7"s
including an original [i]New Rose[/i] and various Sex Pistols,
Clash etc had only just come into RSPCA, the lady said she
put the box on the floor 10 minutes earlier so it was just lucky
timing really, When she said "oh, the man also dropped a lot
of LP's off too, are you interested in those"?
it was music to my ears.
There were The Stranglers, Cure etc but a few
I didn't already have including this LP with the sticker intact.
I have the Rezillos albums but not their other
spookily similar incarnation.
The pick of a handful of Reggae albums
A nice MM compilation featuring previously unreleased tracks
I nearly left this in a 50p box but curiosity got the better
of me and I flipped it over to find it signed by Tommy,
Tony & Pete!
A 2nd hand record shop was clearing out of it's stock
at 50p a pop but I found only a couple of 7"s of interest,
this one is a tribute disc released after the Kings Cross fire
of 1987, signed on the front by one of the victim's father.
The other single was by someone cursed with a similar
name to a famous guitarist, and came with a signed picture
of him + his merry band meeting HRH The Queen Mother.
Best buys of the week were at the local record fair
when a chap came in with a box of LP's and walked
straight up to me and asked if I was interested in any,
there were various Simon & Garfunkel, Byrds etc
but pick of the box was this first pressing, no EMI label credit,
mono, top opening beauty - I made him a fair offer and he
was happy.
The other nice one was this first Transatlantic pressing
of BJ's debut gracing my deck below.

Just got this lovely 7" picture disc which came with a game
called Foto-Finish in the late 50's. It features commentary
of a horse race on each side in which six horses are named.
There are six near-identical tracks (and six start-points on
the edge of the disc) so that the race is run but you have no
idea of which horse will win until the end of the race.
So (in the game or on its own) you can bet on the random
outcome. It's similar to Totopoly and was made in South Africa
but have little other info.

Had a great sunny tromp around the car boots this morning,
finding all sorts of goodies, including some punk 7"s folk
oddities and even a Beatles flexi-disc. But the best score
by far was a whole lotta Jazz from a couple of old boys
who were knocking them out at a £2 each, they were happy
to see them go as they "hate Jazz".
But even though I am no expert I could tell they were all
minty so just hoovered them all up and strangely no-one
else there was interested in buying old records, it's been
one of those days!

I'm on vacation on my hometown (sort of) and when I went to buy flowers for my Mum I found out this Antique shop that was selling records.
They have Pink Floyd's first album selling for 18€ and the guy said he could sell it to me for 15€...crazy!
I bought some African and Brazilian music.
Spent 30€ in 6 records that could have been easily sold for 20€ each...crazy!
- Gardener0
those other Jazz albums
- dude! let me know if you want to shift any. some fantastic records in here.kingsteven
- or trades! https://www.discogs.…kingsteven

bits & bobs picked up at a couple of garage sales yesterday
there were not many albums about
but the ones that were made a very early start worthwhile
VG+ condition on this was good enough for me
3 early K&TG LP's in the same box
not my cuppa tea but when they are cheap I..can't..leave..them
a bunch of these beautiful vinyl/slides sets,
of course now I have to find volumes 2 & 5
to collect the set, damn!
there were some pretty odd sevens,
this one I could find absolutely nothing about on the net
I'm a sucker for the cheesy ones, good on them
for tackling Beethoven on side 2
pretty much all the records on this imprint are rare
and this one from 1968 is a real oddity
a couple of new additions to my football vinyl collection

Took a trip to Milton Keynes earlier today to sign
a 25 year lease on Radio CRMK - which makes me
now the proud owner of a radio station*
I found a few things on my adventure round the City of Trees
(* with another bloke)
stopping off at Stadium MK home of the MKDons,
it seems 100 AA vans couldn't fix them getting relegated
last week
some of the charity shops seem to be on a different
pricing structure to my planet
luckily I found a great bin in one which turned up a treat,
which was actually sitting right at the front!
it may have been skipped over by other diggers
as even I had to look twice as I'd never come across
this debut album by a pre-shades/bearded Jeff Lynne before,
complete with creepy inner gate-fold.
shopping trolley + vinyl = double win!
including this double album on advice for the nervous
and an early tatty but playable Stockhausen album from 1962
all in all a worthwhile trip out of town
- I did find some good stuff in my vacation in Portugal. bought 30 LP's and 18 7" so far. mostly african music, some brazilian and less funk.oey
- thing is that i'm just looking for specific styles. I saw really incredible things that I would like to keep but I already spent the double I've planned :-)oey
- I'm very happy and I will post some pictures soon.oey
- ah! congrats Gardener for the lease and I really enjoy this threadoey

A friend who runs a bookshop got in touch to say
he had this unusual find for me earlier today.
Well aware of my debilitating condition Flexdiscia,
he kindly let me have it for nowt. Featuring excerpts
from the 1970 stage production of the musical Catch My Soul
and introduced by PJ Proby it has great photos inside the A4
sized booklet - with fantastic graphics on the rear of the sleeve.

bits + bobs found out + about
Theme from the 70's TV series.
A beautiful atmospheric collection of songs & poems
on a single by religious charity Toc H.
In the same box was this album of reminisces by the
founder of Toc H. if you search the charity on Discogs
the main reference is to Pow R. Toc H. by Pink Floyd,
the rear of the sleeve strangely features Jimmy Savile.
A near mint selection of 60's EP's of Victorian music boxes.
Trump's current listening (possibly) I'd let him have this copy
for a signed photo.
A signed copy of the only single released by the
ex 60's game show Double Your Money hostess.
A pair of Israeli related albums that were only 50p a pop.
I took a punt on this LP as I liked the sleeve
and it turned out to be a pretty rare folk album.but I was actually happier to find this original UK demo
of a tune I remember when I were a lad.
This obvious fake silver award was only a fiver,
but as the frame was broken it may just sit in the
corner of the cellar looking lovely.

things I found at the Reading record fair - I am tight
when it comes to buying at fairs and all the stuff here
came to less than £20, not had a chance to listen to everything yet.
a test pressing of Bill Nelson's Sounding The Ritual Echo
- a free album that originally came with Quit Dreaming...
not a lot to look at but when I saw it in a box with just the
catalogue number (ECHO 1) on a plain white sleeve
I knew what it was!
I have not listened to this yet but I assumed it's a sampler
for their Budokan live album
a spoken word oddity titled The Family That Plays Together,
Gets On Each Others Nerves
a white label bootleg mash-up of Underworld's Born Slippy
& Floyd's Comfortably Numb
a black label Hendrix album from the early 70's
one-sided promo with messages from loads of old bands,
looking forward to listening through this one
pink vinyl & probably a bit cheeky, which is nice
a great Xian psych/folk album - I picked a tatty copy up
ages ago but this one is mintya few 7" odds and ends
- Gardener0
the weekend car booty vinyl finds
I was pleased to finally pick up a copy of this album,
I've had others in this Co*Star series with actors that
were never going to be as good as one with Vincent
talking on it, and I was right!
in the same carrier bag as the Vincent Price album
was this soundtrack, someone had good taste
A very odd Swedish compilation album that despite
a half hearted search online turned up with nothing
on P.I.E. 3722 Airways but it does have a cover of
Typically Tropical's 'Barbados'
a small selection of cheap cheese, some signed
a great old Breakbeat 12" - dig it
3 great Scott Walker albums at one car boot was a bit
of a result, the 2 below were sealed and new copies from
the guy who turns up at the car boot with boxes of vinyl
at £10 a go, I didn't have 2 + 3 so how could I say no?
I also picked up the 2 x 45rpm re-master of this beauty
there were not many 7"s but this flexi-disc was a sweet find,
complete with speed changing disc on the rear like a low budget
Led Zeppelin III sleeve
- Scott Walker. nice.scruffics
- Hah, would love to hear that Vincent Price.kingsteven
