Took a shufty in a local second hand record store today. What a mess. Records fucking everywhere. Hardly any order. Boxes & boxes of albums on top of many other boxes, boxes under desks & tables, stacks of the bloody things everywhere. Hardly any room to move or reach anything without bringing down half the stock or knackering your back. Fucking marvelous. Ended up spending a good couple of hours in there digging through piles of the things until the owner kicked me out to close.
Managed to find these amongst the avalanche:
Have had this King Missile CD since it was released but never knew this was available on vinyl. First time I've ever seen it on vinyl & at a fiver I wasn't going to say no.

Had this nicked in the mid '90s along with a shitload of other records during any number of house parties we used to have. First time I've ever seen this record anywhere outside an overpriced eBay listing. Another fiver.

I bought the novel this album is based on & the CD. I didn't really like either. However, the completist feck in me said I had to get this to fill that Dogbowl / Shimmy Disc hole. That's what it said when I saw this for £4, anyway. I like it better than I remember being unimpressed by it back then.

Been contemplating hunting down the House Of Love debut & s/t LPs for a while, but never really put any effort into it. Then this appeared in amongst a bunch of Soft Cell & Nitzer Ebb. £3, yes please.

Found this in a pile of Punk & New Wave boxes. £2.99, nae bad.

This came out of a YMCA charity shop for a quid. It's a series of medleys of German folk tunes/adaptations/variations & is a late '60s promo album in a 12" folded glossy paper cover, which is wrapped around a rubber inner sheath covering a standard white inner sleeve & flawless vinyl. Yes, there is polka & some oom-pah.

Can't wait to go back & spend a proper day there digging through everything[nb]the secondhand shop, not the YMCA chazza.[/nb].
