March Finds

[Duncan]

An early Jeff Beck single. The Nightshift, Corrina Corrina / The Lavender Tree. 1965.

[newer]

No pics, sorry, but actually found a decent 45 in a charity shop for once. The End - Shades Of Orange - UK Decca - 40p from Red Cross shop, Bath Road, Cheltenham

[Turboellis]

11 records from a recent Disk Union classical (!) sale ... all 100 yen ...




None of them have obis, but I think I can live with that ;-)

p.s. And I never knew before that Bonnie Dobson, not Tim Rose, was the writer of Morning Dew ... good old educational Disk Union!

Can't we all. Is it not the case that Obi strips are just a right royal pain in the arse. I know it's a Japanese thing, and that's fine, but why they have started appearing on US/ UK pressings is a mystery. The best thing about Obi strips is that you may get a Japanese pressing cheaper because the Obi is missing. In my experience it never affects the condition of the record so I'm always pleased if the Obi is missing.

100 yen is only 75p. which seems a bit of a bargain- is there a 0 missing?

Was Night Soil Man on purpose - with foreknowledge - or taking a chance?
Decent 'post hardcore' or however its labelled these days, with links to Drive Like Jehu.

[Head Gardener]

Been after a decent copy of this old 70's comp for ages and it's still really bad, as in good.







I took a punt on these old soundtracks of films I'd never heard of with mixed results.














This was an unusual find, a double album of stories for schools released via the BBC & Penquin Books in 1973








A copy of the classic Ian Fleming story on an imprint better known for releasing Psych albums by Arzachel and Raw Material.





One I've been digging from a Jazz collection I bought recently.






Cat bothering bad opera compilation.







£1 find I hope to put to good use.







Lovely unusual private pressing I found in the same box as the jingles 12".

I have come full circle. Now what?

What’s this one like? I passed on a copy last weekend and thought at the time I’d made a mistake...

I like it though I can't rip tracks at the moment as my amps in for repair but I liked what I heard, it's over a hundred on Discogs too so was a sweet find price wise

Exactly how I feel. It's because of the obiholics that I get LPs I want cheaply. Some buyers won't buy LPs that don't have the obi. Takes all kinds ...

No 0 missing, it was a once in a blue moon sale ... supposedly classical ...

Strange band name ... interesting looking cover ... super cheap ... in the bag!
From your description, it doesn't seem as though I'll like it, but at that price, who cares.
Listen, sell, buy, repeat ...

That would be me.
