I was wrong, there's a couple of good ska/reggae comps, a couple of Big Youth albums, and a couple of Prince Far I albums too. One day I'll get around to playing them.

Latest finds:
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
Streisand's Broadway album
Deep Purple's Machine Head
I found these at a fleamarket in near excellent condition for 1-2 euro each. Even beat someone to the punch in the dash for Machine Head (which I didn't even know I was in untill the seller pointed me at a very disappointed lad standing next to me). Also got some Queen, Led Zeppelin and Bowie albums for my birthday last week. Bowie's Lodger is weird, yet briliant. Such a fantastic artist and there's quite a few albums I'v never listened to. Taking my time there.

Brakes - Give Blood
Brakes - The Beatific Visions
It's 10 years since Give Blood came out and to celebrate the Brighton supergroup are getting together to perform it in it's entirety. Should be a good gig in a few weeks, were always a great live band.
Paul Weller - Saturns Pattern
Blur - The Magic Whip

Hi BBB,
Thanks for the Hovercraft top off- £2 inc free postage. Great spot!!!
It's been a long time since I posted. Lots of life got in the way but still listening to a good dosage of vinyl, I just didn't seem to have time to post. Anyway, recent things a-spinning on my ageing Roksan (time for a serious upgrade methinks!!!):
Mostly Beatles in mono:
A Hard Day's Night
Help
Rubber Soul
Sgt. Pepper
(the first three spotted in a cheap-o, "unplayable bin" for 50p each. Cleaned several times and whilst far from perfect they are highly playable. All very early pressings, they sound fantastic. Even flukier, my Sgt. Pepper is a collector's gem, it's the one without A Day In The Life listed on the centre piece of the record. Excellent condition mono copy for £25)
"The White Album"
Magical Mystery Tour
Past Masters
(All from last year's mono vinyl box. Hey Bulldog and It's All Too Much in mono are a revelation. As are Paperback Writer, Day Tripper, We Can Work It Out & Rain).
Other plays:
I Love You Honeybear - Father John Misty
The Waterfall - MMJ
Then Play On - Fleetwood Mac
Greatest Hits (1971) - Fleetwood Mac
Whoops, I'm An indian - Hal Willner
The Epic - Kemasi Washington
(this last entry is online only at the moment. Jim, BBB or any jazz, jazz-curious fans this is a MUST listen. I came across him through a phase of Brainfeed label listens - Thundercat & Flying Lotus - but this guy is one step beyond (!) those two. Unalloyed, non-hip/hop aligned straight ahead jazz with a hefty nod to Coltrane. Well, the slender slice of Coltrane I'm familiar with. Kemasi sounds like the real deal to my hairy, near-to-retirement-in-my-dream-ears. It's also three hours long).

My pleasure Charlie. I just hope the record is in decent condition, as it was only described as VG.
I bought a couple of albums from them today. Lonelady - Nerve Up for £5.99 delivered, and Dave 'Baby' Cortez - Soul Vibration for £5.99 delivered.

I'm not sure I could take 3 hours of sax lead Jazz, but I will try to find time to listen to a bit of it soon.
I had a bit of a vinyl sesson last weekend, but I've forgotten quite a lot of what I played. Let's think.....
Squarepusher - Damogen Furies (My new favourite electronic artist)
The Cramps - A Date With Elvis
Lush - Scar
Little Richard - Rock Hard, Rock Heavy
Glen Campbell - The Glen Campbell Album
Parliament - Uncut Funk: The Bomb - The Best Of Parliament
Riuichi Sakamoto - B-2 Unit

Hi BBB,
I love that Squarepusher album, form what I've heard of it, not got a vinyl copy though.
Thanks again for teh Hovercraft tip off - what an album. It has the edhe of Experiment Below, for me. Condition excellent too: sleeve was very good and the vinyl near mint.
My extrememly sporadic and intermittent posting is going to continue awhile longer. We're having more work done on our house - a re-wire and floors being laid & much more - so the router and much else is out of action on and off for several weeks. Luckily, the vinyl listening room is unaffected!!!

Despite wearing my glasses there are several typos in the above post but there isn't an edit button to amend my errors. Apologies, I hate messy posts!!
Hi Charlie
Squarepusher is definitely pushing the boundaries of electronic music. I like the new one, but love 'Ufabulum', the album before.
Glad the Hovercraft deal worked out, it is rather corking.
Keep playing the records. *yahoo*

I think the whole forum is struggling, but I'd hate to see this thread peter out.
Would be nice to see Jim on here again, he's not been on for a good while.

My local HMV had the vinyl for around £17, and the pressing is great, though I'm sure you'd be able to get it in any of the shops in Leeds.
