Well, it’s finally happened. On Saturday morning I actually managed to be in the right charity shop at the right time – just as a top collection of (mainly) early/mid 70s stuff was being put out in the racks. Two visits and 43 LPs later, these are the highlights:
The Pretty Things – S F Sorrow (Rare Earth)
Tonite LetÂ’s All Make Love in London Plus OST (See For Miles re-issue)
Tractor – Tractor (Dandelion)
Bill Nelson – Northern Dream (Smile Records, mid-70s reissue)
Randy California – Kapt Kopter and the (Fabulous) Twirly Birds (well, I read Mojo, innit?)
Betty Wright – I Love The Way You Love
Don Covay – Super Dude 1 (great version of ‘Money [That’s What I Want]’ – is this widely known?]
Curtis Mayfield – Curtis (Buddah)
Super Fly TNT OST
BT Express – Do It (Til You’re Satisfied)
Rufus and Chaka Khan – Rags to Rufus
Gonzalez – Gonzalez
John Martyn – Solid Air
Various – Afro Rock Festival (Contour)
Charge – Charge
Hummingbird – Hummingbird
Plus a pile of Free LPs, four Pete Atkin/Clive James albums, some early 70s rock for onward transmission (Trapeze, anyone? Joe Jammer? Hardstuff?) and some gap-filling XTC and the like. All for 99p each. So Tommo goes home with enough new listening for a month and the PDSA gets some extra cash towards the upkeep of an asthmatic hamster. Huzzah!
