I’ve been picking up stuff for weeks but have been too busy with family affairs to post for a while so have chosen some of the albums I’ve enjoyed the most in March. There were loads of singles and these ones below are very varied and most came cheap, but then I have been digging in some mucky places but luckily turned up some clean and tidy records.

The 2 recycle depots in Northampton test the patience of the most ambitious digger and it’s bloody cold in there.

Spanish covers band The Experience Group bravely taking on 5 Pink Floyd tunes on this 1978 release, they also went on to have a go at ABBA, KISS and Supertramp on other releases. This mini-album complete with various misspelled tracks comes in a fancy inner sleeve promoting a German bandleader.

Lovely 1st UK pressing, a few years ago I had no Lightnin’ Hopkins records now I have six, a promising trend.

This AFX release in it’s original stickered brown paper bag turned up in a lot of techno 12″s I won in an auction a few weeks back.

I already had a tatty copy of his UK debut album so it was great to pick up an excellent upgrade, I got this from the same collection as a copy of the debut Elvis album on HMV.

These were in the same box at a car boot but despite being in excellent condition the Chill Out had no sleeve, I’ll cope.

I even had a big clear out of albums from my garage a couple of weeks ago, all £2 each 3 x £5 and did really well, but they have been sitting there all winter. I’m doing another car boot this weekend to get rid of the rest & more in Tayport, Fife, so if you’re in the area bring a fat purse!

I did spend some of my ill gotten gains on this repress off a dodgy fella at the same boot, it sounds amazing.
There was a record fair in my nearest town hall on Sunday. I didn’t go, but jet-washed my patio instead.
The local vinyl warehouse had a half-price sale. Think: all the records from every charity shop you’ve ever been to, all in one place, at twice the price. But every 12″ single was £1, and every 7″ only 10p, and I somehow spent 30 quid.
I hired 2 tables at a record fair in January, I only took 250 LPs, some box sets all near mint, I look after my stuff.
Anyhow I sold around 100 and cleared £1,200. Very happy with that.
