Vinyl collector - especially 7” singles, meditator, member of Triratna Buddhist Order. Seem to have developed a thing for vintage paperbacks. Low woo threshold, likes an evidence base.

Oh goodness. As my mum would have said, you have been in the wars.
May you heal swiftly.

Space Garage was in the ‘funk, soul & disco’ section but sounds like it should be on the Cherry Red ‘Shake The Foundations: Militant Funk & The Post-Punk Dancefloor 1978-84’ box set, and have Mark Stewart indignantly ranting over it

Somewhat surprised that they don’t want to make Albion great again.

So, if it says on the tin that it ‘Does exactly what it says on the tin’, is there any way of proving that it does, or doesn’t do, what it says on the tin? 🤯

I mostly bought it for their cover of Listen To The Music, which is majestically funky

He charged me £20 for a sealed copy of that, the Floyd & Tom Waits - which seemed a reasonable deal.
He was pretty insistent that I need a copy of it.

Graham in Casbah bought all the UK copies of it, which he’ll dribble into the market at gradually inflating prices - little tinker.

Ooh - those first four!

(Not dissing the second four, they’re all great, but very familiar)

Oh my! As usual, I’m now craving records I never knew existed

In all these years that’s the first time I’ve thought to post pics that are in the format suited to looking at on a phone 🤦🏻‍♂️

You all know I’m winnowing down in preparation for moving, and definitely not buying any records, right?
You all know how shit I am at that, right?
3 online acquisitions, and 5 from a wee trip up to Greenwich yesterday.
