first early boot of the season round here turned up some nice Indie stuff and some beautifully clean early Elvis singles
but the big question asked around the fields was "any old iron?" well, lucky for you - the answer was YES!


Head Gardener

The first outdoor boot of the year kicked off with all sorts of finds although the
78rpm and this album below came from a charity shop on a short trip to Sheffield.



This album caught my eye when I saw the 2 x ABC Hit Band track on the back,
and the Space & Deodato covers did indeed turn out to be the only reason to pick it up.








Also on a night club tip is this one sided vinyl invitation disc in a gatefold sleeve for the
Chicago Rock Cafe which opened in Northampton 20 years ago but closed down 10 years ago.







Just hearing the voice of Johnny Morris brings back fond childhood memories.













I found one of these Italian cover version albums battered to death years ago
so was chuffed to bits to find a tidy copy, complete with it's misspelt tracklisting.






album odds 'n' ends

















these 2 discs turned out to be my favourite finds of the week, a 78 from the early 40's






and a 45 from the early 60's




Rich Uncle Skeleton

Damn, James The Red Engine got wrecked.

How come 3 of the trains on that album cover are shown in troublesome positions ? Seems a bit sadistic to me. Also, the image on the top right actually looks pornographic.

Yes, more bloody records bought in charity shops, a record fair and an Xmas treat to myself online as I can't rely on Santa to deliver.


The Crauford pub in Milton Keynes has a busy fair for such a small venue.

Ha! Me and 'er indoors can be seen just to the right of centre

I've not bought owt recently except some Integrity reissues and a Thor 7".

Is there a picture credit for the sleeve of the Johnny Morris Shell thing? Looks like an S. R. Badmin.

nothing on the back about it, sorry

Luckily only Volume 3 of the previous albums had any peril/porn elements

I'm at Reading Rivermead fair on Good Friday if you want to drop by and buy

recent vinyl finds from the fields



Some odd things have turned up this week, I was most pleased with this US promo LP released to radio stations
in 1973 featuring specially recorded 30 second messages to discourage folk from doing heroin.
A friend burned me a CDR years ago which had a few of these tracks on but I'd never come across the whole album before.











In the same £1 box was this album produced by Scientology founder  L. Ron Hubbard which has some great Jazz Funk tracks.







This was cat nip to me and the guy said "that LP is 10p" so I gave him 20p just to be sure!
It had 'A Fennell School Production' written on the sleeve and has DER 1190 matrix
so if it's some long lost Deroy test pressing I've no idea but maybe someone knows more?






I picked up a handful of 50p singles









The A side turns out to be quite scarce but it was the B side that I was more curious about.






One of my fave 70's tunes on a US mono/stereo promo


DrunkCountry

Charity shop this morning. I was donating a couple of sacks of clothes & they were in the middle of processing a huge donation, black bags & boxes all over the floor. In the middle of it I spied a 7" single box. Inside was a chunk of '70s Welsh language folk & Italian & German Classical & folk. You don't see much of this militant-lite Welsh folk in charity shops etc., it tends to rest in collections or on the walls of secondhand shops at silly high prices. Cost 3 for £1.







The Cadillacs are pub band rock rather than folk




4xCD boxset + booklet, £1

Head Gardener

Various vinyl things found on a short trip to the chazzers of Sheffield and the boots of Northampton



I was indeed "gassed" to pick this up in a box on a Northern shop floor,
Penthouse was first published in 1965 so this was a vinyl tease I doubt few men back then could resist!







This turned out to be a really sweet listen, all covers from the White Album  in a cool plinky plonk stylee,
I believe that's what the Jazz cats say.








nothing more than £5 a pop from a more sussed than usual car boot seller



+2 original Blind Faith LP's (phone = the missus)




cheap 7" odds & ends


this is actually an unusual Charlie Hyatt & Bam ‎comedy disc from '66 titled Rass!


4 tunes from the '59 film of the same name by the Cockney cheeky chappie



I'm still not quite sure what Errol was singing about on this early 70's demo



early 60's TV themes including the puppet version of The Goon Show




A single sold exclusively on cruise ships in the early 70's with music composed on this one
by the same chap who did The Amazing Electronic Arp Synthesizer albums.



I have uploaded the A side as it's kinda funky & worth hearing :  here


Head Gardener



all 8 and a bit minutes of the flip side of the cruise 7" which isn't too shabby as it turns out

Head Gardener

Bank Holiday car boots = fewer records, more cowbell!

Good finds in the fields this week although I did get some CD's from Barnardo's



The lady on the stall told me the 7" chocolate record was long gone (probably eaten 60 years ago!)
but this sleeve alone is still a great find and is a direct copy of a scarce mid 50's Jazz 10" album
by Ginger Folorunso Johnson And His Afro-Cuban Band



This is the original sleeve which even has the same catalogue number MLP 508








This may claim to be The Ancient Helston Furry Dance but it sounds like something else more familiar,
hear for yourself : listen







Eric & Ernie mucking about on a promo single for a Hi-Fi company -  hear side 1




2 oddities in the same 50p box







A nice discovery along with some other Folk albums on Trailer and Topic




Best find of the week was this Trojan compilation from 1970 - originally released in '67 on Sue





one of the best CD comps I have picked up for ages, the 2 tracks by Lucille Bogan alone make it worth tracking down!


Dr Syntax Head

Around 15 years ago I used to visit a record shop every Saturday and buy some music. The guy once recommended me Swerevedriver's MezcalHead album. Thus my love of shoegaze began. A whole new world yeah. I was in the town and on a search for nostalgia whim I looked for the shop not expecting it to be there because record shops die too quickly. Fuck! There it is. And the guy recognises me, after 15 years! I can't tell you how happy I was. I asked if he had Loveless anywhere, he didn't. I thanked him for helping me discover shoegaze. I didn't have a Lot of time bought...

Simple Minds-Once upon a time. It has Alive and kicking on it.
Curve-Fait Acclompli 12"
Curve-Frozen ep 12"
U2 Unforgettable Fire, Original pressing
!!! (Chk chk chk) Hello is this thing on 12"
Hope of the states. Blood Meridian in packaging I don't want to open

A nice haul for 1 minutes work

Head Gardener

Various vinyl finds in the past 7 days - I picked up a collection of "Gilles Peterson type stuff" after some chap phoned me up.


I have volume 1 and this is the other one, I don't think there is a third.




I guess the bestest bits were a pair of Moodymann releases, one twelve one + double album.





I'd not come across this US 7" before, it's nearly 20 years old!



I have the CD single of this somewhere, but this was a lovely 12" copy of one of the most beautiful versions of this tune.




soooo mysterious... and quite frankly after a while soooo annoying!




An early Bert album alas without it's original sleeve but still worth 50p to me, also in the same box another cheap treat.







A good addition to my flexi-discs collection as the copy I already have of this doesn't have this card backing, which to be honest it's pretty useless without.





I have cherry picked the stuff I have actually heard of or ones I didn't already have but have put 3 boxes of D&B and House 12"s
in the shed which are available if anyone wants to come and collect the lot from me for £50 no haggling, I really can't be arsed to sort them!
so pm me if you can be.

Doing the rounds over the weekend I found that village car boots can turn up allsorts of unexpected goodies



including a fantastic score from one box alone, full of Indian records



My guess is that a relative had died as the 2 ladies getting rid of these just wanted shot of the lot for £20





The midweek lunchtime boot (when all the young, slim and beautiful people are probably still at work) turned up some nice things.






I'd never seen or heard of this before and in lovely condition too.



Not come across this 12" before either, but records by Northampton bands do turn up from time to time.





A nice old 78 and some curious 45's cropped up


Shame it didn't have it's original picture sleeve but I could hardly leave this now could I?





A couple of Christian sevens, love those titles!







I have many sports related records but this Rugby League EP was a fresh discovery : download Super Hull








In the same box was this IN YOUR FACE ROY CASTLE! reading stories on one side with his Christian mates doing likewise on the flip.


Sebastian Cobb

Bought a used copy of PP Arnold's LP on white vinyl recently; the guy said it was mediocre nick but it was much better than that, usually people are rather generous with their ratings.

Cost me about 15 quid. Asking price is about 200 on discogs. I'm not flogging it, I'm not a seller but I like a bargain.

Head Gardener

I had a massive score at the car boot yesterday, after much haggling I got the lot for £120 but they are all
originals and in lovely condition, even better was she took my number as she said she had lots more at home.


Coming into the field I passed this guy (who didn't have any records, I asked!)

I get up early!

And this is essentially why I've never been to a car boot.

Head Gardener

vinyl finds this week, I didn't buy most of the albums below - only one in fact, but I did pick up a lovely single


The cars line up for the mid-week car boot watched by an eager punter




I only found one thing apart from some stuff for the car, this foxy single that was still in it's mailer envelope
and was only 50p - it looks like it has never been played, though I am a bit of a sucker for these kind of records!





I did a tip shop trip to the darkest Kettering/Corby hunting grounds but didn't turn up much
except for some cheesecake sleeves for organs (?!) which I kindly left for some other lucky digger.





have you ever found yourself feeling a little transparent? then the following album could be your salvation







I've seen a few choir records in my time, but never signed by the whole choir on the back!





popping into a couple of charity shops on my way home (as I tend to do)
I was quite surprised to see a high pricing system going on for the records - which are coming back, did you know?



compared to Boy George, the one below was probably a bit of a bargain




next door they had a much more sensible pricing structure



luckily I did find one thing in the box


manticore

An original 'Catch a Fire'! Wow! What are you reckoning on getting for that?

Head Gardener

dunno but I already have it so it will go at some point, incidently I discovered something rare in my collection this week which I never realised I had,  but will post up about it next week,
such a tease!

Brundle-Fly

Great stuff as always, Headers. I picked up these oddities last week that you probably have/ might appeal?

1973 Lyons Maid company ice lolly jolly up recorded for posterity including songs: A Little Bit Of Eye-Tie Ice Cream, The Girl On The Lyons Maid Phone, & Get Behind It And Push.




TV's Groovie Goolies album. The scarier and more illiterate version of The Banana Splits?




This battered LP wasn't for sale but I took a picture anyway to prove this artifact of horror exists.

Sorry. Due to all the scrolling one has to do to read this large image heavy thread I thanked the wrong person. Thank you HG. Top track.
