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 20th Jan 2017		Music Memorabilia [none] - Unknown Record Store Bag	I think this was a generic bag marketed to independent record stores. 7" singles I bought from Derricks in Swansea during the 70s came in a bag of this design, and I converted a couple to makeshift sleeves. I've seen them put to similar use elsewhere in the UK. I'm pretty sure this design came in a 12" version too.
Scratchy45 20th Jan 2017		Music Memorabilia [no artist listed] - Rhythm The Music Specialists	A rather attractive 1920s/1930s 10" 78rpm shop sleeve with a stylised representation of an airliner of the time spilling a stream of 78s toward the listener. The aircraft doesn't seem to match any specific aircraft from Imperial Airways' fleet of the time (speaking as an aviation anorak).
