    Sleeve art by Don Martin, the great artist for Mad magazine.

    These budget albums are usually trash but this one from 1985 is probably the rarest of them all as it’s #92, the last one they ever made and it has Linda Lusardi on the cover.

    I have the OST with the movie design on the front but this is the complete original score.

    As well as a great compilation I also love the great glossy sleeve on this UK issue.

    US promo of my fave JB album.

    Good timing finding this late 70’s compilation on Beggars Banquet. I will be going to the 5th Groovy Record Fayre this coming Saturday and the artist for this sleeve Savage Pencil aka Edwin Pouncey is always in attendance, so hope to get it signed by the great man!

  2. Love the Clockwork Orange disc and the promo Running On Empty – great haul!

    I’ve got a promo copy of Grievous Angel that came complete with press cuttings from the NME – byline: Chrissie Hynd (sic) – and Sounds and Melody Maker, a glossy B&W portrait photo of the artist and a Warner Brothers (54 Greek Street, London W1 01-439-4511) two-page marketing missive advertising the forthcoming re-release of ‘GP’ on April 23rd 1976. I love it when you happen across these things – it fixes the disc to a very precise time.

  3. I can never bring myself to ever spend actual money on those ToTP albums, or anything similar, because the music varies between awful or painfully awful.

    There’s a great episode of Charity Shop Classics where Gavin & Simon play awful tracks from covers LPs at each other.

  4. Came across the 1974 Readers Digest Catalogue this morning. It is quite incredible how popular these box sets became, I still see them unloved everywhere at car boots, charity shops etc and DO NOT forget they are in STEREO. The best thing I find about them now is the hard card boxes that houses the records are excellent for packing! Also pretty cool was that at the back there are several adhesive stamps to be torn out and affixed to the order form, it was the age of Green Shield Stamps after all.

  5. Some of the singles I picked up the other week at the once a year Groovy Record Fayre in North London hosted by Jonny Trunk. I managed to make a few quid despite the expenses of stall hire, parking, congestion charge, petrol, food etc. It was so busy, if you have never been I recommend it!

    I picked this up at a car boot at the weekend and it came with it’s original info sheet – I’ve already been in touch with the Hermitage Academy here in Scotland. It will be interesting to hear if they know any more about it and get back to me.

    A spoken word acetate which I couldn’t find anything out online, but there is an author called James Richardson so I suppose I’ll have to try and track him down too.

    Some kind person sent me a download of this over 10 years ago and so to find a hard copy in a Milton Keynes charity shop for a quid was a quite an emotional moment, ha!

    One sided promo for the shoe company.

    Apparently huge in Europe and still going strong but I had never heard of them before finding this. It bombed in the same year that Space had a pretty similar disco smash hit with Magic Fly.

    I was kinda hoping this was a dub Spider Man tune but it turned out to be called Please Stop Your Lying by Joy White & Ronnie Davis.

    Just a few of the Indie 7″s a pair of ladies had on their stall for £2 each or 10 for £12, I spent £30 with them.

    Other odds and ends I picked up cheap, including some great flexi-discs I hadn’t seen before.
