I'm in a very wet Gloucestershire today, babysitting our grandson while his Mum and Dad go to a wedding, bless them.
Interaction may be limited today but have some stuff to share from last Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace - rarely a wasted journey.

This lot set me back a fiver in Crystal Palace at the weekend.
Didn't realise at the time but the Care 12" is quite sought after?

2 more that I'd forgotten about from a quick nose about in Brixton last Sunday. These are from the marvellous Pure Vinyl - lovely people there.
"I'm a sucker for" part 92 - film/TV-related 45s.

Wet and gloomy here, but cheered by the select quartet that I picked up yesterday in West Norwood.
BBR I understand are reforming for a one off show at the London Palladium next year. It's not nostalgia - it's revenge, says Luke.

Is there a finer few seconds ever committed to vinyl?
Yes - probably, but this will do for now.

Good thing about international breaks is that no football frees up Saturday for trips to places like Penge.
50p and £1 bargains at Revolution and a couple more from the premium racks. Also a few (50p) from the charity shop opposite.
No apologies for Cat Stevens/ Richard Harris.

"I'll take your Brian to another dimension".
Not on my copy but some were apparently thus misprinted!

50p Cautionary tale - rummaging a huge charity shop box of 45s yesterday. Probably record hunter fatigue but I managed to convince myself that I'd found a little known Visage sleeve variant. It's clearly not Steve Strange and that isn't a Visage logo, but once a vinyl junkie..

Good morning, gang.
Ducked into Oxfam in Bloomsbury Street yesterday to avoid a drenching.
Don't usually go for CD singles but as a fan of the band this was a quid well spent!

Reckless can be a bit hit and miss but I've been very happy with recent visits. These were all £1 each and in tip top nick.

After a little advice..
Foolish purchased without checking both sides (was in a hurry) - any way to remove the wonky label without destroying the record and ideally, preserving the label itself?
Many thanks all!

In my best Christian Slater impersonates Jack Nicholson voice - greetings and salutations.
All Reckless £1 cheaps this week other than Ice Cream Factory (which I had never heard of) which came from Oxfam, Bloomsbury Street.

Another part of a 3 for £10 bargain bin purchase. Yes - some glam era silliness, but a much underrated band nevertheless.
Slight blemish bottom right of the sleeve the legacy of a former Sweet fan - if you're out there, Tracy, all the best.

Never bought this back in the day but picked a mint copy up as a makeweight in a 3 for a tenner deal last week - it's glorious. Lots of OTT 80s production may put some folk off but for me it just adds to the drama of Propaganda. Love it to bits.
Worth every bit of its £3.33

In Leeds for a couple of days visiting my daughter and our lovely new grandson.
Managed a little bit of shopping in-between grandparent duties!

Good evening - it's been a busy day!
Here's some of what I unearthed yesterday on my North London adventures..
Other than Siouxsie, nothing more than a quid.

Watch out if aimlessly wandering in East Finchley. I couldn't stop this awful crime.

9 today - the hit and miss Oxfam in Bloomsbury turned up (non-Donald variety) trumps this week.
Bonus from Crystal Palace a week or 2 before - I couldn't resist The Professionals/Avengers 45.
Off to play football at son's birthday party - he's 27.

4 long players that are very special to me. Not necessarily all that obscure - I think that both Ghinzu (bottom left) and the Drones have enjoyed modest success - but no chart busters either!
Plus - all 4 live were exceptional and gigs that will stay with me forever.

I've had a very good week for 7s - most from 2 of my favourite shops in Crystal Palace and a couple more from Oxfam near work in WC1.
I do have some out of the way albums to add for #albumalmanac - need to dig them out!
