Record shops we have loved (in no order) #1 Way Ahead Records, Derby. No longer with us, sadly, my photo taken in 1992 or 1993. Bought lots of Can records there and instances of the Pebbles garage series on vinyl, still have 'em.

F_____, but a belter.

Charity shop pricing is still stupid.

Going through the 7" box marked 'neogarage' and not much weeding to do here.

OK time to restate the purpose of this! Starting to write about music / culture again by moving the mountain of sugar that is my record collection one granule at a time into one of three piles: KEEP, LOSE and DUNNO. We are also moving house, so... I am trying to swap quantity for quality.

Of course Johny Nostalgia isn't his real name that's the byline he used for my 'zines back in 1611. He was Deputy Ed and journalist for local papers and a formative influence on me. Here's a grab of his living room, which he describes as a 'tent city of boxes.' Only true collectors will understand.

Big thanks to Johnny Nostalgia for the duplicates of Mulberry Bush and the Kinks' black comp. The black comp was overseen by Ray Davies and is all mono cuts, a rare find these days. Johnny Nostalgia fed me tapes in the pub when a young lad and expanded my understanding of British Psychedelia hugely.

10th Anniversary gift from my darling. Absolutely perfect.

Wayz of the Dragon, jungle / drum'n'bass comp, Bristol? I think so, I think it's DJ Die and Roni Size and Krust under pseuds. Absolutely faultless. £1. In >

And re the other post below, I may as well call the Phil Minton and Roger Turner CD on ReR In >

Laika, I'm a fan of Moonshake, so this, on their label Too Pure, is In >

Various, I saw this in the media when it came out but didn't follow it up. Picked it up for £1. Not sure, I think it's over-hyped, but it needs another spin. Maybe. Maybe no.

Staples from Kingbee, Chorlton, noted Rob Chapman music writer sold to them, wonder if I picked any up. Troggs and Downliners on See For Miles, great label now defunct, scarce. Ditto Sir Douglas on Westside. The Apple album (of Brit-psych 'Otherside') is an earlier reish, but a remaster for cheap.

Been on the forage again. Crazy prices out there, not backed up by recent guides. But if you're not a vinyl-only fetishist things are good, CDs are go.

South Manchester has rated these gigs Double Brompton. Get to the next one, inc Maggie Nichols (Centipede et al) and Phil Minton (Mike Westbrook, although I blasted his collaboration with Roger Turner, 'Ammo' most recently).

Great to see this Curious Ear gig sell out. Elaine Mitchener & Pat Thomas. Last performance, a deconstructed take on Lush Life, was wonderful. Family friendly events, the kids' wail and clatter weaves in.

Manchester Review of Books be up for one!
