An old bloke in Arbroath rang me yesterday to say he was clearing a house and that he’d seen my records wanted card in a shop. He said he didn’t know what to do with a big pile of albums so was thinking of just dropping them at the tip but asked if I’d like the lot for nothing. So I went and collected a huge sellotape sealed box which is now sitting in the back of my car. I haven’t opened it yet as it’s fun to imagine wtf is actually in it!
I can only imagine your expression if it turns out to contain a solar garden globe!
Not just one, but eight of them.
200 copies of No Parlez?
A deadly plague that will unleash a zombie apocalypse
We need a live stream for this momentous happening
This ⬆️
could be albums by
Smokie
Fish
julian bream
dory previn
hootie and the blowfish
sole music
etc etc
Hope Arbroath is still a busy fishing port !!!
Oh and Arbroath’s finest musical export – the Foondry bar band
Complete collection of local boy Andy Stewart’s albums. And bootlegs.
His long lost bootlegs at that.
He’s lost his bootlegs as well as his troosers? The man’s a fool.
That box must weigh a ton! That many LPs would be a challenge to even lift, let alone manoeuvre into a car.
Another vote for an unboxing video.
*gets popcorn*
The Sound of Music
At least one Slim Whitman album
A scratched classical box set
OK, and away we go! don’t hold your breath…

Excellent video. Enjoyed that. The Sounds Astonishing album was popular during evenings on the jazz cigs when I was a student. Craaaazy stereo effects man!
I like that nice white dog who puts in an appearance at about 0:04 of the video.
Thanks for filming and sharing the great unboxing moment. Extremely entertaining.
That brightened up my weekend a treat.
Nicely done.
That Patsy Cline’s great, actually. Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray is a classic.
yes I was being a bit glib, nothing of monetary value tbh, but if anyone wants one of the violin LP’s for nowt pm me!
To be fair, the rest of them *are* shite.
The Niel Gow “might” be OK, he being one of the doyens of Scottish fiddle tunes. But I will bet it, and the Scottish Violin Music album, will be anodyne and bowdlerised saccharine crap, by second rate ceilidh bands of the 60’s.
Love that – brilliant video! Hope you like Scottish violin music….
Schrodinger’s Humdingers?
Great video ! Reminds me of the kind of tosh I see at local “record fairs”.
More of this kind of thing!
I was hoping that the final album was going to be something like The Revolting Cocks.
Yesterday I did find this promo disc for the record pressing company Damont, both sides are completely blank hence the selling tag ‘5 minutes of peace’. The only other completely blank disc I have is for The Wit & Wisdom Of Nigel Farage which came out 10 years ago.
There was also The Wit And Wisdom Of Ronald Reagan put out in 1980 by Stiff Records
The Farage discs are probably unsold Reagan records rebadged. I expect they’re rebadging it again right now for Elon Musk. Maybe this time after a Steven Wilson remaster job.
The compassion and intelligence of Donald Trump
Big seller in Middle America. The rest of the world, less so.
