The excellent 'Mirage' by Klaus Schulze from 1977. Picked this up at the last Beacon VIP record fair for a tenner. Sleeve bit tatty but plays superbly for nearly 30' long sides. #KlausSchultze #nowplaying #DailyVinyl #vinylcommuniity #VinylCollector #nowspinning #ElectronicMusic

Critically divided but I love this 1988 debut from Kingdom Come with #LennyWolf Robert Plantish vocals. Powerful sounding album to be played loud. Saw them support Magnum around 89, great show. #nowplaying #KingdomCome #DailyVinyl #vinylcollector #vinylcommunity #vinyllover
