Great finds Sie mate, I love that 'Wozard of iz' got to be in the mood to listen to it though as it's not easy on the old ears!

[Brainbomb]

Both great records, hope you enjoyed your proper listen mate.

Yes I did.

[el sporto]

Fruit Machine by The Ting Tings?

No I wouldn't!

A copy of Georgie Fame's "Seventh Son" album from a market stall EX for £7. Well chuffed with that..!

'Inside story' is the track for me on this one, but 'Somebody stole my thunder' is the trendy one.

!
Loving the Alan Bown...really nice,sure i had this many moons ago and it did zero for me,lessons to be learnt here maybe ! - keep everything !!
Original Love Four Sail,nice UK issue and a cool looking Buddy Rich - listening to it will only dissapoint though

Nancy and Lee - i always buy these,does anyone else have an album they can't leave? - Incredible record though...do i need 6 copies? / Scott Walker 'Moviegoer' to replace my contour issue and 2 Vulture classics,only ever had the Johnnie Spence Big Band once before...lovely version of 'Moanin' on it and nice period 'dolly bird' sleeve / Roy Budd ' concerto for harry' - playing it now...more miss than hit so far

Never seen a copy of the Deram Alan Bown record, got a couple on Island he made later, what's it like ? looks juicy.

back in the office after stumbling across a nice wee haul, and all in top nick too:

Cozy Cole, It's a Rocking Thing (CBS). I found an old billboard review that says it's both hep and modern.

The Best of the Best of Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger (Polydor - Golden Crown Series)

Rubettes, Wear It's 'At. Couldn't leave a pun like that behind, or Tonight neether.

Ocean Colour Scene, Yesterday Today 12'' (Pftt). Baggy as.

Stone Roses, Fools Gold/ What the World is Waiting For 12'' (Silvertone). As above.

Also saw the English World Cup squad getting welcomed in Aotea Centre...quietly booing.

'Inside story' is the track for me on this one, but 'Somebody stole my thunder' is the trendy one.

Yeah I dig that one too, lovely feel to it.

The album also came out under the name Shorty in the US, with a different tracklisting and also alternative versions (I think they are anyway, have never sat down and really studied them).

Ive got them both, didn't realise they where the same LP!

[Sie-Fly]

It's not - the Shorty is totally different and it's 'live' - Ian ?

Yes, ignore my previous post! It only shares 5 tracks with Seventh Son.

I'm not convinced it's live though - I always thought it was a 'live in the studio' job. I'm going to dig out both albums tonight and do a thorough compare/contrast analysis!

I wonder what the thinking was behind the Shorty name...suppose a name like Georgie Fame was a bit passe by then and a group might have more credibility with the underground crowd...

[Sie-Fly]

namewise : i read somewhere that it was some contractual thing mate - i could be wrong of course...it has a bit of a club vibe to it...as you say 'live in the studio' - great album whatever the weather

I've got to say it did nothing for me - i much prefer the "Listen" LP on Island.

[Greedy Boy]

I found Zoot Sims live at Ronnie Scotts on Fontana today, 2nd issue. Absolutely storming jazz from 1961, really good lp IMHO

Anybody ever get offered a job and find records in the same place? When I was leaving after my job interview last week I noticed about 10 crates with records sitting in a corner in the company's courtyard. I asked the caretaker about the records and he said sure they're for sale, just look through them and pay me 10 DKR each for the ones you want. Then after spending 40 mins. looking through the lot and picking out a few the caretaker had disappeared so instead I asked a woman at the reception who told me in rather strong language no those were definitely not for sale and I couldn't touch them. Then I told her but the caretaker had said so so then she said she'd ask another woman who owned them to call me next week when she returned from her holiday. Then today the woman called me and let me buy the records. Thanks.

Nice! A job with apes and cheap records in one instance - must've been your lucky day.

If you don't like the Earth Opera I'm interested.

So, here I am, out in the back end of beyond, in Jasper, Alberta, with no record shops spotted for the last two weeks -when I noticed that the local 'dollar and up' store had a basement with a guy selling retro & vintage items. Plenty of old clothes and baseball cards, but only one box of records. Weirdly, the box contained uk staples such as Englebert Humperdinck and Roger Whittaker LPs, but I spotted this sealed item amongst the forty or so records

Don Jewitt: Between hello and goodbye

Turns out to be a lost Canadian pop gem. Hope it keeps in one piece during the journey home, or that's three dollars up the chute...
