Picked up a stack of classic rock / prog stuff this morning from a local record shop that is closing down and flogging everything off cheap (they were only on a short term "pop up" lease)...

Stills-Young Band - Long May You Run
MSG - MSG
MSG - Rock Will Never Die
Kiss - Killers
Focus - Focus 3
Focus - Moving Waves
ELP - ELP
Yes - The Yes Album
Yes - Close To The Edge

Also Lene Lovich - Flex on Dutch Stiff, and a 12" EP by local glam metalheads Rich Rags, from 1990 (I think).

Total price.. £17.50 for all of the above!

I was delighted to have picked up these two albums for only £1 each plus other assorted 12 and 7 inch singles at a local car boot sale

Chuffed to bits with yesterday's acquisitions - bought 13 (thirteen) Fila Brazillia and related CDs from Fila mainman Steve Cobby for next to nothing (amazing what you can do on Facebook). They're for my Hull Music Archive project primarily but I'll also be adding them on here as well, of course! Starting right now...

Covers Fila, Heights Of Abraham, The Cutler and others...

Charbusters Salute To Eurovision

Only cost me 50 Canadian cents/ 25 p/ 35 Euro-cents

Not too bad a record actually

BUT -- the big question is --- how in the heck did it make it here to the west coast of Canada!

I can answer that. The record is likely British so, a British immigrant to Canada brought it with him/her and grew tired of it so he/she flogged it off to a second-hand record shop somewhere on Canada's West Coast. And there it sat, just waiting for you to come along and snap it up for the princely sum of 35c(Canadian). Simple really, ain't it?

Ah -- yeah -- :erk: -- a bit obvious that -- I was hoping for a deeper mystery

Well -- In addition my own aforementioned Chartbusters Salute Eurovision purchase, my sweetie, Sparky, surprised me with a box of 50 78s secretly bought at the same store. I love her!

Managed to find 3 Lee 'scratch' Perry dub reggae CD's in a charity shop in good nick (don't often find reggae),and also got my second "Bollywood" CD,awesome rhythmic tabla's and vocals,and although i can't understand the lyrics it really doesn't matter,guaranteed to get your foot tapping,indeed,if you could tap the energy on this CD it would probably power a small town,or Bollywood itself perhaps ;),great stuff!. :thumbsup:

Not a purchase, as I didn't pay anything, but I've just collected a very, very generous and very, very awesome donation comprising eight full boxes of cassettes by artists from Hull - mostly demos though a few commercial ones and a handful of bootlegs and so on. I'm like a pig in sh*t right now.

Currently listening to a band called The Secret Garden, from 1992 - a cassette I used to own years ago but haven't heard for an age. Marvellous.

There must be four or five hundred tapes here so I'm gonna busy for a while.

Huge gratitude to the donor, who I believe does use this website from time to time so if you're reading, thanks again Tim!

The odds are you'll be unwinding tape from your cassette deck on at least a couple of these then nboldock! :grin:

At Rices in Newcastle, yesterday, found an Australian London-label issue on 78 of Nervous Norvus's "Transfusion"(HL-1089). Already had the A-side on a K-Tel LP of looney tunes, so I bought the disc for its B-side, "Dig", also penned by Jimmy Drake, which, I assume, is Nervous Norvus's real name.
I'll put it up on the appropriate section when I get a chance.

I'd say that's just about made the entire collection for you!

Anything on the tape unreleased or as yet unheard?

Yep, three unreleased tracks I've never heard before. Basic production. No track listing...I'll add it here once I can work out the songs.
