copies of Solomon’s Seal + Reflection (on way in the post) + £20 still in back pocket was my reward for walking away

I hate record fairs , they’re a rip off, they stink and they make me claustrophobic, this is a £25 record that the guy had £60 on. Went to another couple of other stalls see a couple of bits wouldn’t have minded £50/60 albums priced at £100+. Couldn’t even be arsed after that just went home.

they were openly complaining to each other how quiet it was , I was muttering

thing is I wanted this, even considered going back to argue a case for halving the asking price, but urgh can’t but might have a panic attack if I go back in there

Yeah but what about 3 x angled laughing face to emphasise how funny your own jokes are ?

heard a couple of tracks off this in a record shop the other day and asked if it was the recent Making of Five Leaves Left, anyway it wasn’t it was this and I didn’t ask to take it coz it sounded too good to interrupt , but i did find myself a copy today elsewhere and now it sounds good in my house

Didn’t intentionally time the week off work to coincide with the Necks releasing their new 3 hour plus album but this is the scene where this is now unfolding and it’s feeling a wise choice 🎵 ☕️ 🍂
