Don’t know what that 1970 circular sleeved England Squad LP is actually worth, but there was a copy in Rob’s a few weeks  back priced at about £3.80 or whatever eccentric figure he’d put on it. So, who’s going to inform me that I should now kick myself for leaving it there?

As for my (mostly working/decorating the living room) weekend, not much, but nice:

From the cattle market/local charity:
Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood: Did You Ever? (RCA)
Francoise Hardy: Sings In English (Vogue)
Merit Hemmingson: Merit! (RCA) (double)
A Guy Called Gerald: Voodoo Ray 12” (Rham&#33 (double)

From Ebay:
Chiyo Okumura: Sexiest Voice In Japan Sings New Japanese Pop Songs (Capitol).
If you don’t have this, get it while it’s still cheap. ‘Shoko’ and ‘Suna No Bojo’ are the absolute business, but this is just a great LP all round. Check out the former on DJ Marco’s Soulstrut mix if it’s still up…

From the board:
Stoneground: Stoneground (Warner)
Many thanks to ETK for picking this one up in Dublin. Used to love this LP back in the early 80s, when I picked up a jumble sale copy, which got lost sometime around 1987. Now I love it again. Great hippy rock/gospel groovesÂ…

Knowing that Wayne's about got Nottingham sewn up, I ventured to the provinces yesterday - not going anywhere today as it's like the start of Wizard of Oz out there!

I was in a branch of Scope and someone had obviously started to let go of a collection of Quad LPs. So I grabbed a few, however, the pricing in said branch is £1 per LP or 10 LPs for £1. If I wanted four LPs, that would be £4 please, but if I took 10, I get them for £1. Now, I've explained before that I'm dogshit at maths, but surely this is a tad perverse?!!

Anyway, I took the ones that looked interesting and made up the numbers with some chuff (will be listing some freebies in the next couple of days then&#33. Also got a few from Rob this week and a couple off GEMM, one of which arrived yesterday.

So....

Charity shops:
Klaus Wunderlich - Moog Sounds 2000, Hit World of (x2), Hammong Pops 6
Alan Moorhouse - Bond Street Brigade
Ike Isaacs - Music of Michel Legrand
Various - Beatles, Bach & Bacharach Go Bossa
Jose Feliciano - Feliciano
Barry White - Greatest Hits (just making up the numbers)
Sounds of the 70s Orchestra - Songs of the 70s
Harry Stoneham - Hammond Hits The Highway
Sight & Sound Orchestra - Movie Themes of Today (x2)
New Freedom Singers - Oh Happy Day
Various - Galloping Home
Various - 12 Tops (yes, the one with the lass on the motorcycle)
Dianne & The New Worlds - Tamla Hits
San Fernando Brass - The New Brass Sound of the Hits (incs a dark, Axelrod-esque version of 'Heart of Gold'&#33

Rob's Records:

Paul Nero - Memphis Soul Train

GEMM:
Kandahar - Long Live The Sliced Ham (OK, it was £15, but I'm allowed to buy one at a higher price every now and again aren't I? They're not always going to be 10 for £1&#33

I also found a few on the local market, but couldn't afford to buy them this weekend and have them put aside til next week when I can take some trades down, nice stuff though, Blue Mink, Atmosfear, Sadistic Mika Band, Mongo Santamaria etc.

Finally got my turntable back from mender's after 6 weeks of no vinyl, so I've just listened to the 70 or so records that I've not been able to check yet. It's been a pleasure.

Now, off to witness United crumbling to fucking Citeh. Jesus H.

If this is the LP I think it is Ben, then it's got a pretty damn cracking original tune on it called 'Time Rhyme', the very last track on an otherwise forgettable covers LP. Starts out nice 'n' mellow and soul jazzy, then gets funkier with some Dennis Coffey style guitar, and the drummer starts really giving it some with open drumbreaks and all. Nice!

No, it's the first LP, from 1971.

A quick look at the others listed on AMG says the 'Chica Boom' is on 'Flat Out' from 1976, which I've not heard. Same band though...
