Just arrived today
From the usual s/h sources:
And the book:
(in suprisingly good condition:)
Gareth Dunlop - Born Uncool, bought at the Bonnie Raitt gig last night where he was the support and very enjoyable he was too!
I’ve only bought 3 CD’s since mid March due to being in Spain for 3 months and not liking their very high prices. Most physical shops appear to have closed now. So it was catch up time and got this lot from the Vault in Birmingham.
Had a couple of interesting chats with the staff about the eclectic nature of my purchases.
Grand Prix by TFC, great album.
Yes you do😂
When the hell do you have time!?
No idea but I always manage to listen my way through these piles I pick up.
Buying on spec like this has introduced me to many bands/artists I would never otherwise have bothered with. The ones I don’t like used to go to charity shops but they won’t take them anymore.
I took adult supervision with me the last few times I went on “Vinyl Safaris” and she wondered off to do her own thing every time, leaving me terribly unsupervised…
Hehe! I just dont get adult supervision anymore. I think I have gone feral.
Just had a closer look and there are definitely some there that I would have picked too, several I already own and a few that I would pass on.
All in all, a nice little haul.
My Gloria Coates collection just went up to three, with Symphony No 2 being joined by
