Delighted to meet up with my folks today in the rammed Cotswold charmer Moreton-in-Marsh. There's a beauty of an antiques shop hoarding lots of old kit. My bro was astonished by the prices! I grabbed Prefab and Fuzzbox

Grabbed these 45s from the sitting room shelves before heading out into the rain. Have a great day and stay dry if you can!

Graceland, Making Movies, Oh Mercy, and a slightly obscure Costello album - the two Sinatra 10s are for the wee small hours!

My record shop boss @riverman.bsky.social said today 'I bet you don't have any Pink Floyd albums'. I agreed but forgot I had Wish You Were Here tucked away. I quite like Meddle too but I don't have a copy right now

Failed to get to grips with this Costello album when it came out in 1991 so I'm having a proper listen now. Hurry Down Doomsday has not aged well but there's lots to like @johngstyles.bsky.social. All Grown Up and So Like Candy standing out

Thanks @jimmyviz.bsky.social for keeping us spinning. I will sign off with two alternative versions of Costello's Watching The Detectives. If there are more versions please let me know and I may be tempted. Have a good week!

Thanks for all the posts and conversations so far this weekend - we're always happy to chat 45s/record shops etc. Here's a selection I'm playing between church/taxi runs/driving lessons. Have a great Sunday everyone!

This time last week my bro and I were drinking Guinness and visiting record shops in Brighton. It took me a moment to realise that the Singles Bar and Wax Factor were essentially the same record shop!

Here's a random selection for my to play pile including this Immaculate Fools 45 which @riverman.bsky.social kindly helped me to locate. Got Me By The Heart is on the flip and I think it's just as good as the A side

Got a feeling it's Tuesday so I've reached for a few 12s! Old (Dexys) and A Campfire Song (10,000 Maniacs) are great B sides/extra tracks
