I need to rip that side of the flexi and post it. Saucy stuff

That copy is VG at best, but that's OK as most of those pictured were trades. Don't be fooled by the price stickers ... very little money changed hands as I'd brought a pile of Japanese stuff over. Only saw one other copy of TC and it was in better nick but AUS30, which is still OK for a great LP in my book.

Did you know that the two Don Burrows Quartet recrords as the same?
The one with the salmon pink swirly cover is a later issue of the one with the photos of the band on it

Yep, those are destined for the next One Box Record Fair.

Btw, I can't recommend the David Chesworth LP highly enough. It's a 2LP version of his first couple of solo efforts and would definitely appeal to the Expiry palate. Some background here.

The Yaraandoo reissue on Votary/Roundtable is pretty damn fine, too. Great label.

Wow!
Amazing stuff - I can't believe that they were producing this music with almost no knowledge that they sounded like bands in the UK and US - talk about simultaneous creation!

Is it amazingly rare and only findable in Oz?

There are certainly copies floating around Melbourne. Prices vary dramatically, though (AUS 70-150 range from what I saw).
The 50 Synth Greats LP is good, and obviously the title is inspired by TG, but Layer on Layer is a work of genius. One of those LPs that makes you want to throw out half your collection.

Something else to look out for then - and just when I thought I'd heard everything

Maybe tomorrow, I'll have to settle down
Until tomorrow I'll just keep on digging on

The boy has more than 20 Iranian "Top 4", but only this one in normal condition

Good price - 0.30 p.

I'd guess so. It's on Melodiya, LM LP45.

EDIT: No it's not, a closer inspection reveals the label is Latvian Music and it's a German press.

Tracks are:
Juras balss/vizija/vards/cielava/balade par skaudibu/divpadsmit asaras

rudacite/ ligotaji/ dzied suitu sievas Alsunga/ zinge/ lugums/ Ai dundur dundur dun dun/ teic, kur zeme ta

Thanks Alan, saved me digging up a clip. Also like the version of World is a Ghetto on there.

Cheers, looks like the same LP, then: just another case of the 'many different covers for the same LP' syndrome...

I 'found' it on e-bay, but I'm insanely chuffed to have just bought an apparently NM copy of the Rodney Bewes 'Dear Mother, Love Albert' single - a long term want.

Seriously. Not OK.

Congratulations, such a good doublesider as well!

as you say Wayne couple of lovely tunes on this album - one reminds me of Broadcast

**AlanP** · 02-12-2011, 02:06 AM

had some jolly digging in the sun this week - scored two spares of Well Kept Secret as well, lummie.

but today I nabbed a nice stack of olde tyme NZ 7'' in unbelievable vg+ nick, incl a TANZ, our first record label (didn't know they did 7s, thought they were 78s only).
haven't listened yet, but one is Peter Posa, our Hank Marvin sorta, doing a shampoo commercial (takes good care of the family's hair apparently) and a few odds and sods like the Muppets' Mah Na Mah Na, erm, they aren't kiwis obviously.

but among the albums, I found this, The Brothers Four absolutely baddass version of Revolution.

Is this mustache Giorgio Moroder?

Don't think so, they did another very simular looking 45 from the same foto shoot.

**gogo** · 02-12-2011, 11:17 AM

A friend is selling his collection of 45 - I'm not big fan but why not

If it isn't, it's a good likeness. Compare it to the picture below. Giorgio should have a writing credit on that Spinach 45 (and there's a good version of 'Action Man' by Vulcan, too, as recommended by Hadrian Elephant).

**mr sayers** · 02-12-2011, 12:13 PM

Did Giorgio write the song like Rich mate?

If so then ignore me as probably is him!

**eine** · 02-12-2011, 12:58 PM

Just to keep the canine theme going I got a copy of this in the post this morn:

A side is a fuzzy surfish song. Pretty good, B side is a bit more like the album that was re-released last year, live acoustic, but this is a comedy song called 'My Dog'. Odd single, which I was happy to get for a fiver on eBay!

**jakartajive** · 02-12-2011, 05:26 PM

Was in Brussels for work for a day earlier in the week, and managed to get down to the big flea market on Place du Jeu de Balle for an hour or two first thing.

Hardly seems worth mentioning these, tbh, but they are technically real-world finds, so here goes.

Three big ones . . .

and two little ones . . .

**mr sayers** · 02-12-2011, 05:35 PM

You burned all your luck on that Icarus Hugh mate!

Mørkristet is Danish latin, nice enough but I prefer latin latin. Goes for around 30 Euros.
Have seen Buzstop a couple times in bargain bins. Guess it's one of those records that only a few people are up on. A little strange to hear slick sounding modern soul in your own language.

Oh, I was hoping Mörkristet was some xian thing

You should pick that Buzstop up from the bargain bins. It's good music + I usually charge 40-50 Euro and it's always gone within a week. Only ever seen the Piccolo LP though, would be nice to hear some of their others
