It’s been several weeks since I posted a mix of fresh music and this one is 90% new. I have been having fun doing mixes of random years from the 70’s to the 90’s but I’ve gone back to my current listening tastes for this one, I hope you enjoy – best played LOUD of course as it’s gotta lotta B A S S.

I am back from a busy trip digging down south which was a mix of luck and general right place/right time really, I visited 2 record shops that were just not interested in selling singles so were knocking them out for 50p each, including the ones below as well as the Slade flexi-disc I posted earlier, so how could I resist?! One guy told me a record shop had closed down and dumped their singles stock and he was happy for me to take away armfuls, though there were a lot without sleeves. As well as coming home with over 150 singles I had left a commission bid on 2 boxes of Techno/Acid mostly 12″s at an auction house before I left, which I luckily won for less than I had bid for, so collected them during my 9 hour drive north. There were some incredible Aphex/Orbital/Global Communications stuff that I have only just dipped into so far, but these are some of the 7″s that initially caught my eye.

A friend has been working on this for some time and it has just launched – pic posters may find it useful, link in comments, cheers!

Weekend album finds from a huge stall at Scotlands largest car boot on Sunday, I was happy to pay a fiver each.

It’s funny but I actually give a shit about these things now I’m in my 60’s. I find it quite incredible that the council or whoever is responsible for upkeep of the local landmarks have neglected to cover up the graffiti that has been sprayed over the beautiful Mini-Lighthouse up the road in Arbroath for the past 6 months. It’s the first thing visitors see as they come into the town from the south and I can only imagine the disappointment so many visitors will have felt as they saw it and thought awww, how sad it looks. I’ve complained to the council and I would be happy to paint it if the powers that be gave me a 2.5ltr tin of Signal Red, though I’d probably be arrested if I just went ahead and did it!

This seemed like a good place to post this, the first in a series of chats where a friend of my son comes over to ask me about my vinyl collecting habit, vid in comments.

These are some of the albums that have made they way into my grubby hands in the last couple of weeks. I hit Northampton pretty hard the other week, I was only there a couple of days but still crammed in a boot, one auction and several charity shops. The best stuff turned up on my doorstep when I got home when a bloke answered my ad and rang saying he had a load of singles. I went round to his fancy static caravan and although the records were alright but nothing special and as I was saying my thanks but no thanks he asked if I liked The Beatles. Yeah sure, I said, so he pulls a record case out full of fab four and solo albums, “I want a fiver each for these, no offers” erm, OK so, I bought the lot, it’s what he wanted. Nice original UK 1st mono pressings, although there was a White Album with only one disc but it had the bits, lovely copies of Ram, Walls & Bridges etc, and…
