I seem to have become an unintentional collector over recent years. I love 45s in particular for the music in the grooves and also the fascinating artefacts they can be. The quirkier the better...

I started to buy LPs and 45s in the early-to-mid 1970s - and kept them - but took a bit of a sabbatical from record-buying for many years.

Since my interest was rekindled, my buying habits and motivations have changed. I'll still buy anything that tickles my fancy for musical reasons, but if the price is right, I'll also buy what's not already on here just to add it.

I've come to rediscover and appreciate more a couple of sometimes-overlooked formats in recent years - 78s and 10" LPs .

Scratchy45 5th May 2023		CD Album Ray Davies - Other People's Lives	Exists with this cat# as stock copy - just acquired one.
Scratchy45 18th Dec 2017		CD Album Various Artists - Mojo Presents The White Album Recovered No.0000002	Every now and again, there's an exception to prove the covermount album covers rule . The Unthanks cover "Sexy Sadie" - magnificently. [YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 11th Jul 2017		CD Album Dubstar - Disgraceful	Original "furry purse" cover issue added (which has a different catalogue number). though I've made a bit of a mess adding it. Image edits have been submitted for jewl case booklet front/back and tracklisting/composer corrections have been requested. The jewel case booklet contains illustrations by singer Sarah Blackwood to accompany the lyrics for each track. I'll add these later when I've more time.
Scratchy45 10th Jul 2017		CD Album Dubstar - Disgraceful	I'll put up the original issue at some point, which has a different cat#.
Scratchy45 6th May 2017		CD Album John Martyn - Couldn't Love You More	"unless these are all alternate recordings to those released on all other john martyn cds, the noted producer is incorrect" All alternate "sweetened" versions from what I remember, I acquired this secondhand on LP at some point, and quickly disposed of it again after about one listen. Not his finest hour,
