I was absolutely sure I’d written about this album before, but I checked, and it appears I haven’t. I think I was confused because I’ve spoken about it on the radio show. Well, it is […]

Steely Dan – Can’t Buy A Thrill
While at the used record store today I was browsing the £2 bins and there was Can’t Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan. Really? £2? Well that’s mine then. Once again, I was listening to […]
Billy Bragg – 2 x 45’s
I took a brief trip into town today and visited the Leamington Record Store again, which is opposite Seismic (So I popped in there briefly as well) and picked up a few things that I […]
Ella & Oscar
I think that if there is an album in the used bins that is Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson together then it is worthy of consideration for purchasing, when it is £3.50 it is pretty […]
The Ornette Coleman Trio – at the ‘Golden Circle’ Stockholm (Volume one)
Years ago I had a cassette tape of Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster that I played a lot, loved that cassette, and I think it may still be up in the loft somewhere, though I […]
Nosferatu – James Bernard
Back in the summer of 2016 I wrote this: aaaaaaaaaaand finally, something a little bit different. A 7″ single, or E.P. really, that came out on Record Store Day this year but was still in […]
Joni Mitchell – The hissing of summer lawns
One of the first records I ever owned was by Joni Mitchell, Big Yellow Taxi on a 45, and along with my other two 45’s, all of which were inherited, I played it to death […]
Crate digging at home
I don’t have enough shelf space at the moment and what I do have has collapsed a few times so I keep a chunk of albums inside a a hollow, two seater, wooden chair. Here […]
Random Item – Number 2 – 65daysofstatic
This was yesterday but I pressed the random item on Discogs again and it came up with the soundtrack for the computer game ‘No Mans Sky’ which, if I remember correctly, has been slated as […]
New Bjork Video – Arisen my senses
Weird but good, one of the best tracks on Utopia. Just that kiss Was all there is Every cell in my body Lined up for you Legs a little open Once again Awaken my senses […]
Random Item – Number 1 – Emmylou Harris
When looking at your record collection in Discogs there’s a search button, next to that is a ‘Random Item’ link which I pressed to tell me what I should listen to next as I was […]
The Retro Store – Parcel 2
My second parcel from The Retro Store arrived today and it was much improved from the first one I’m happy to report. I received a hand written postcard from Peter, who owns The Retro Store, […]
Abba (no, really) – The Album
I was looking for tracks for a themed radio show that I was planning and one of the records that popped up was Abba – The Album, which I do actually have a copy of. […]

The end of things from the album Savage: Songs from a broken world. Good track.

Baxter Dury – Prince of Tears
Baxter Dury, son of Ian Dury, there, that’s that out of the way first as I am sure that he is fed up of being compared with his Dad, inevitable though it is. My copy […]
David Bowie Shelf collapse shocker!
One of the shelves holding my records collapsed, it was not a very strong shelf and it was holding rather a lot of albums, so it was not entirely unexpected, it was just a matter […]
Vinyl Moon – Volume 027: Skyride
The first album received as part of a new subscription with Vinyl Moon arrived last week. I thought I’d actually give it a bit of a listen before commenting on it, that’s only fair, though […]
Rugby Record Fair
I took a very quick trip to Rugby Record Fair at the town hall today in-between washing the car and doing some food shopping. It’s a small fair so that was OK. I did manage […]

The video for Utopia was released today, and it is gorgeous.
