The latest Car Boot Vinyl Diaries cloudcast, the first for 2015, has been uploaded to Mixcloud. There are loads of great tunes, all found at car boot sales and charity shop here on the Suffolk coast, plus there’s The Boot Of Loot and brand new segment Novelty Island with quite possibly the lamest ‘jingle’ ever.

What attracted you to, er, Deep Heat?
It’s bloody obvious why that Bar Kays album caught your eye…
Yep, it was the great big………..dollar sign.
That Peter Case CD is fantastic and when I tracked it down on cd a couple of years ago it was very expensive. Used to have it on cassette many moons ago and wore it out I played it that much. If you are taken by it besure to get the second album The man with neo traditional fundamental guitar or some similar bullshit title. Looks like you have a good day out.
It is indeed fantastic! Not bad for 50p either. Will keep ’em peeled for the follow-up.
Great stuff Mini. Meantime can I plug your Bob Box set blog for those who haven’t found it – it’s bubbling along

You can indeed, ta! Am giving New Morning its first spin this evening.
Poor you. You can probably switch it off after the first track.
🙂
Nonsense – it’s a cracking record; best since John Wesley Harding and before Planet Waves. But I will leave Mini to decide what she thinks about it…
Without wishing to sound like a crawler, the Bob blog is absolutely brilliant.
Play it fookin’ loud.
I agree with Moose. It’s the clarity of thought that’s most impressive. Generally, when people write about Dylan, they tie themselves in knots and confuse the reader. Yes. Even, renowned music ‘journalists’.
With that in mind, I hope mini remembers to describe Dylan the Dead as a “sonic cathedral of sound”.
Dylan AND the Dead. Dylan the Dead is a character from Tolkein.
Aw, you’re very kind. It’s mainly a way of preventing myself from doing the usual thing I do with box sets, i.e. burn through them in one big go, then just play a favourite few after that. I figured that if I have to write something down afterwards, I’m more likely to give each album a proper listen. Mind you, whether I’ll be able to stick to tigger’s “at least six listens” rule when I get to the 80s and 90s stuff remains to be seen – I have been warned by Bingo.
Hope you enjoyed the cloudcast. Did anyone get the Bar-Kays question right?
Anyone? I bet loads of you clever-clogs know the answer.
Haven’t listened to it yet. I’m about to rectify that in the next day or two.
With regard to Dylan’s trough period, he always remains listenable. You should have no problem with the six listen rule.
I don’t believe you…. you’re a CRAWLER
