If, when, why, what? How much have you got?
Kinsey 6.

Received just in time for #CDFriday: Saint Etienne’s (last ever?) CD single, a Bobbie Gentry Best of… (curated by SE’s Bob Stanley), a lost Kirsty MacColl single and a Joy Zipper promo.
The SE single came with a signed Xmas card 🎄🎄

We’re playing this and doing a puzzle (just resting my old back now 👴🏼).

Couple of new ones from the Hove record fair. William Pitt is a late 80s Italo Disco marvel for those who like that sort of thing.

Just a couple of additions this week: EBTG’s Ben Watt’s debut from 1981 and Marianne Faithfull’s debut (I think) from 1964.

Very excited about seeing the gorgeous Gwenno here in Brighton tonight.
I had a taster when she did a short set before signing her records at an event this summer, but otherwise first time! Support is from Breton and fellow linguist Quinquis.
Can’t wait!

Good morning from the south coast. Here’s what I got this week.

Really chuffed to have finally found that original 12” of Going Down to Liverpool featuring three pre-major label tunes on the B.

Some maybe lesser known albums/artists I’d recommend to friends:

Protector by Aoife Nessa Frances
Aspirin Sun by Emma Tricca
Sky Girl compiled by Julien Dechery & DJ Sundae
The Age of Immunology by Vanishing Twin

Didn’t have much luck in London yesterday, so here are some highlights from the last three months, many of which are from the #WeekendSingles crew who’s helping me build a collection in my new home 💜💜

I finally got this at fopp

It really was. And Sophie Ellis-Bextor sang a few tunes too.

I’ve just watched Belinda Carlisle and Kathy Valentine (also of Go-Go’s) play Sunday Girl live at a tiny pub in London 😍😍😍

We’re in a popular beach town in Italy this week and I’m astonished at how in 2025, people of all ages and nationalities are still so awkward around a gay couple. It’s just exhausting.

Met yet another singleista this week, the most excellent mr @sussexsedition.bsky.social who came to visit with a bag of singles I could choose from and this is what I got. Martin Stephenson’s Crocodile Cryer is new to me and it’s my new favourite song.

I’m wearing the right shirt

On the train home, look what Adam’s wearing.,,

This was a great #WeekendSingles week: on Thursday I got to spend the afternoon with five founding members in London and yesterday I got four great 7”s from Ged, one of Bluesky’s best humans @gerardojoseph.bsky.social
Seriously, I’m not worthy.

*and* I found the Mint Juleps single for a pound!

Only one addition to the collection this week (courtesy of an Italian friend).
Not exactly the Holy Grail for Smiths collectors, but very nearly there. And it’s nearly mint.

The Real… Françoise Hardy 🇫🇷

Recently found at the local HMV, three CDs for £6 isn’t too bad: I didn’t need the whole CD of English versions of tracks already appearing in French, though. Would have preferred more originals.
