The local charity shops in my new suburb have been good for clothes (Boss jacket, Zegna jacket and Zegna shirts), but until today there was little vinyl.

And these:













A number of those will be grip-and-flip.But there are few tracks that I have hopes for.

I am afraid to say that the Delgado, the Almeida, the Perjanik and the Fabulaires will not be going through to the next round.

[Shere Khan]

I have a soft spot for Bud And Travis' 'Cloudy Summer Afternoon'.

[Milesago]

I'd keep this one just for the cover.
Done by the drummer Geoff Hassell. Can't find any more credits for him. Reminds me a bit of Joost Swarte (squinting at it on my phone, admittedly).

Kinky Friedman from the 100 yen bin at Disk Union. Quite enjoyable on a Sunday.




From the same bins. I shall become a Kabuki expert after listening to this.

"Poolside Music" looks to be Hawaiian. Hipwax rates it 9 of 10!

I almost bought the recorder LP somewhere else recently out of curiosity. This time I did buy it.

Have I had this Burrows before? I have certainly seen it often enough. This time it was too cheap to leave behind.

The rest is grip-and-flip.

A nice pile there! I picked up the Japanese version of Tristeza on Piano a week ago for pennies at Disk Union. It's pleasant on the ear. But more pleasant on the turntable.

I’ll give them all a try. Perhaps that one a bit more than otherwise in the light of your comment.

Love that Australian WRC sleeve on Poolside Music!

The Don Burrows is a corker! On the lookout for more of his after I bagged this one a while back
