Trust me, there were no real gems to be found in this box - yes, plenty of good solid standards but really just the usual suspects, no surprises, no sizzling soul or rare psych or anything. They'd go well in a jukebox, mind. But we don't have a jukebox...<br /><br />So - no series on it I'm afraid; I'm happy to leave the real music blogging to the rest of you!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-64750071838385806122015-04-16T10:55:17.188+01:002015-04-16T10:55:17.188+01:00well THIS unlce will certainly not be leaving his ...well THIS unlce will certainly not be leaving his vinyl to his nephews or neice.

So true what you say about different finds. There weren't any Secombes or Doonicans in this box but, right at the back, a whole bunch of Jive Bunny (of all things!) pic sleeves; I kept them hidden from view of course...Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-11405738017635774622015-04-15T13:05:55.464+01:002015-04-15T13:05:55.464+01:00Haha, yes I thought the same about the Cliff one, ...Haha, yes I thought the same about the Cliff one, couldn't resist it!<br />Having seen some of the gems you've found in charity shops, I'm sure there's no need for you to spend more at record fairs!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-7436345319774134022015-04-14T23:43:02.846+01:002015-04-14T23:43:02.846+01:00That's a nice looking box of records.

Usually ends up being Harry Secombe and Val Doonican but there is always the anticipation of something worthwhile. Unlike the boxes clearly full of of pic sleeves which you just know will invariably be 80s pop schlock and not 70s punk. <br />Nice post, and sort of inspired by me!

I'm an addict! Interestingly, many of the characters (and smells!) you describe appear to have followed me, certainly to car boot sales anyway! <br />Two things I can never walk by and leave unrummaged (is that a word? It is now) - a pile of old photos or a box of old records. <br />Buy Mr SDS a typewriter for Christmas - I want to read his stories!The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-72942110716852906002015-04-12T14:46:16.706+01:002015-04-12T14:46:16.706+01:00Great stuff, i used to love the old record fairs b...Great stuff, i used to love the old record fairs but I was always in search of Dylan bootlegs and the excitement of finding somthing new was one of lifes pleasures.
