Bought 50 singles. Here are some of the highlights.
Especially happy to have those Love 45s, finally.

Air - Sexy Boy
I was, and remain obsessed with Moon Safari, and feel like an absolute chump for not going to their show at the Albert Hall last September.

Happy Mondays - Step On
I remember this was originally marked for release on an NME covers compilation (Ruby Trax?) until someone emerged from an e-fuelled haze and realised they had a stone-cold classic 45 on their hands. Banger. Obvs.

Madonna - Into the Groove
I've had the Immaculate Collection on repeat in the car since the summer. Saw her at Earl's Court around the time of her Music album and it was pop perfection.
Woolworths bargain bin.

Chas & Dave - Strummin'
Aside from Chas & Dave, my old man was the only person I knew to say, Gertcha. Anyway. Chas & Dave had chops. And as everyone knows, it's them playing on Labi Siffre's I Got The... which Eminem sampled on My Name Is.

The Stone Roses
An exceptional run of 45s. Forgive the lack of symmetry - my copy of Elephant Stone is MIA, apparently.
RIP Mani.

The White Stripes - My Doorbell
I rarely go back and play the White Stripes, but whenever I do, I'm reminded what a great band they were. It's never going to happen, but I would be delighted if they announced another record.

Implausible as it might sound, this INCREDIBLE record is 40 years old this week.

Spacemen 3 - Take Me to the Other Side
Very heartening to see a big chunk of my feed this morning devoted to celebrating Pete Kember and Jason Pierce's 60th birthdays. Spacemen 3 have always been right at the heart of my love of noise.

I have the OG version, so I asked a pal if this was worth getting and he described it as 'beefily analogue' and I said take my money.

Nick Lowe - Cruel to Be Kind
A great 45. I imagine Nick Lowe to be the kind of guy who would give you a lend of his lawnmower or jet washer if he was your neighbour. Even if this isn't true, I want it to be.

Mike Morton Combination - Burning Bridges
I bought this to tide me over until I got the Kelly's Heroes OST on LP back in the day. Note for note copy, but somehow it sounds slightly off compared to the Mike Curb Congregation version.

Alright, Columbo.

I'd love to hear various artists cover this ditty in concert... (Which artist will take up the challenge first?)
