Experimenting with #Waxlog to create a vinyl wrapped video. Limited to 10 in the free plan but premium allows unlimited curated lists which is cool. #VinylWrapped2025

Well that was a lovely game. Wasn’t sure what to expect but it was way more platformy and explory (both gaming terms, come on) than I thought it was going to be. Fairly short, but very well done by obvious cat lovers 🐈

The Beatles shelf is now being cleaned and this will be it now until the New Year. A long way to go still 🙄 #HumminGuru #TheBeatles #vinyl #xp

Been doing these Exit escape game advent calendars for the last 4 years now. They are great fun. A little puzzle each morning with your breakfast.

An open Exit The Game advent calendar showing 4 open windows. The scene is a galaxy with planets and stars.

Not sure this belongs with my prog stuff really, but will keep it there. A great compilation/tribute to Syd from The Shamen, TVPs and Soup Dragons among others. They all do a great job. #vinyl #SydBarrett #xp
Front cover of Beyond The Wildwood, a tribute to Syd Barrett. The record playing on the turntable. A flyer from the album advertising The Mock Turtles debut 12 inch E.P.

Not ‘prog enough’ for some, plenty prog enough for me. A very well produced (as you’d expect from a former Abbey Road sound engineer) LP from Alan Parsons, 1978. #xp #vinyl #prog #AlanParsons
Front cover of Pyramid by The Alan Parsons Project. The record playing on the turntable.

That’s better. This is a 1972 US Gloversville plant pressing and (after the clean) sounds incredible. Getting fewer and further between but bargains can still be found! #vinyl #xp #JohnEntwistle
Front cover of Whistle Rymes by John Entwistle. Features a hand drawn fantasy scene with an owl, a turtle, a pig in a policeman’s uniform, hedgehogs and a young girl. The cleaned vinyl looking spotless and playing on the turntable.

Picked up a copy of John Entwistle’s “Whistle Rymes” recently for just £3 and boy does it need a clean! Other than that it looks pretty good, so a bargain I’d say. Cleaning time…. #vinyl #CharityShop #xp
A very dirty black vinyl record.

Can squeeze another in before we have to get ready to leave. This is The Dollar Brand (aka Abdullah Ibrahim) Trio, live from 1965. Wonderful South African jazz piano from one of the best. #SundayJazz #vinyl #xp
Front cover of Anatomy Of A South African Village by Dollar Brand Trio. The record playing on the turntable.

#SundayJazz this morning courtesy of Donald Byrd, and a third double ristretto. I need the caffeine. Off to an advent market today so might even start to feel a little bit Christmassy. #vinyl #jazz #xp
Front cover of Byrd’s Eye View by Donald Byrd and company. Next to the record spinning on the turntable.

My copy of Houses Of The Holy isn’t perfect, but a it’s a hell of a lot better after a deep clean. First UK pressing from 1973. #vinyl #xp #LedZeppelin
Front cover of Houses Of The Holy by Led Zeppelin next to the record being played on the turntable.

Described by some as ‘one of the last great prog albums from the 70s’. The Roaring Silence covers Springsteen’s Blinded By The Light as its opener, although Waiter, There's a Yawn in My Ear is much more to my taste. #vinyl #MMEB #xp #prog
Cover of The Roaring Silence. A large ear with a mouth. Of course. The record playing on the turntable.

It’s the Led Zepp collection’s turn for the bath. Starting with this one from 1976 which I ignore way too often. It’s a good album, just not as good as the others. I will play it more. #xp #vinyl #LedZeppelin

Been cleaning and progging it right up all day. This is Man with Rhinos, Winos & Lunatics from 1974 which gets a solid 3.8 over on Progarchives. #vinyl #man #xp #progressive
Front cover of Rhinos, Winos and Lunatics from Man. The band are all sitting in what looks like a chaotic living room with, on the far left, a Welsh flag (as they are a Welsh band) draped over a life sized model of a Rhino. The record playing on a turntable.

Found a couple more #UriahHeep records in the prog rock shelf to clean and play. Will start with Abominog from 1982 as the cover is so cool! #vinyl #xp #progressive
LP cover for Abominog by Uriah Heep. It prominently features a demons head with horns and pointy ears and a wide open mouth bearing sharp teeth, drooling. The background is red and the band’s name and LP title are written in black. Cover of Fallen Angel by Uriah Heep. It’s open wide to show the full image of a Valkyrie type woman standing over a demon, with bloodied swords in her hands.

A huge bonus of this cleaning marathon is it has reminded me of records I’d forgotten I had. This is an extraordinary record for 1969, Can’s debut and (arguably) the birth of Krautrock. #vinyl #can #krautrock #xp #progressive
The image features a stylized album cover depicting a humanoid figure with no face, wearing a black and colored armor, holding a gun or similar in one hand. The background includes clouds and mountains, with text stating "MONSTER MOVIE” by “THE CAN”. A close-up of a spinning vinyl record on a turntable, with a visible tonearm and stylus. The record has a black label at the center, and the turntable is on a dark surface.

Enjoyed that more than I thought I would. Lots of cowbells. I approve.

Continuing with Wonderworld from 1974 - a lot dirtier this one so fingers crossed it cleans up ok. #UriahHeep #vinyl #xp #prog

Bit of heavy prog (not that heavy really) this morning. I’ve had a couple of Uriah Heep albums in the collection for years but still not entirely sure if I like them. Cleaned them anyway…. #vinyl #prog #xp #UriahHeep
Album cover for "Return to Fantasy" by Uriah Heep, featuring vibrant artwork of a figure with flowing wings against a dark background. The title and band name are prominently displayed in bold, stylized lettering. A close-up view of a spinning vinyl record on a turntable. The record has a yellow label, and the turntable features a sleek design with a stylus positioned over the grooves.

The Who shelf is next to the Mod Revival shelf so we’re on to the big boys now. This is maybe the one record I’d take to that desert island everybody talks about…. #TheWho #xp #HumminGuru #vinyl
Front cover of the Quadrophenia LP with the iconic mod on a scooter and all four band members reflected in the mirrors. Quadrophenia vinyl in the cleaner having a nice bath.

I have no idea why somebody was selling this, brand new, for £1 on eBay. I just bought it unheard, but have to say it’s pretty good. #vinyl #TheMalpractice #xp
An image of a record player with a vinyl record visible. Beside it, an album cover titled "The Malpractice, Slur," featuring a colorful, illustrated creature. Framed artwork hangs on the wall, and a wooden speaker is positioned next to the turntable.

Last one for today to give the ultrasonic cleaner a rest. The Killermeters started out in 1977 as a punk band but moved quickly on to playing for the mod scene in ‘78. Songs like SX 225 became mod/scooter rally classics. #vinyl #xp #TheKillermeters
Album cover for "Metric Noise" by The Killermeters featuring five band members in stylish attire, with a mix of black-and-white and color tones. The background shows a city setting, and the band's name is prominently displayed. A close-up of a colored vinyl record on a turntable. The record is clear with glittery flecks and features a blue label with song titles. A tonearm is positioned over the record.

Things were moving on in the mid 90s and the new mod interest inspired by Blur and britpop was very different. The Itch had other ideas though. This album emulates the sound of ‘79 and does a pretty good job of it. #vinyl #TheItch #xp
The image features a vinyl record cover titled "Avenue Parade" by the band "The Itch," featuring four members in a close-up photo. In the foreground, there is a white mug with a red handle, displaying a cartoon mammoth and the words CupOfTea.Social on it.

Nine Below Zero from 1981. One of the mod revival bands from the time that had longevity and reinvented themselves as a blues/rock band. This, however, is pure mod with some classics like ‘One Way Street’. #vinyl #NineBelowZero #xp
A record cover featuring four cartoonish figures in suits, with an abstract blue background. The band "9 Below Zero" is displayed prominently at the top, while the title "Don't Point Your Finger" is written at the bottom alongside a pointing hand. A close-up of a spinning vinyl record on a turntable, featuring a stylus positioned above the grooves. The record has a green label in the center. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the record player.

My original copy from 1982 and it’s a little tired, but plays very well. One day I’ll seek out a better copy. Never been reissued, it’s probably my favourite Secret Affair LP. #vinyl #SecretAffair #xp
A black and white image of an album cover titled "Business as Usual" by Secret Affair. The design features a keyhole with a cloud of dust or particles emanating from it, set against a plain black background.
