| sladesounds Turning rebellion into money since 1962 Member since Nov 2009 6556 Points Moderator | Phone call from the wife (out buying Xmas vegetables) advising me to head down the local market/boot sale as there were (in her words) a few records for sale. Not expecting much I headed out to find a stall set up with about 2000+ albums/singles/78s etc from a house clearance all priced to go a £2 a pop. A wild mix of rock/pop/jazz/classical/US imports/European singles and others. Well and hour of so later, a deal was struck and my wallet was £60 lighter. I walked away with 30 x albums, 2 x 10" albums and 20 x 7" EPs and singles including;    Edited by sladesounds on 22nd Dec 2019, 9:28 PM |

 | GimmeVinyl Member since Nov 2019 597 Points | Ok..so I'm a couple days late.. last Thursday, I purchased a brand new copy of The Who Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy.. the 180 gram Track/Polydor/UMC one. Well... Not a sealed new one.. this one was actually in the used section! There was an $11.00 price difference between the two, so after looking at the gorgeous condition of the used one, the decision was a no brainer! The LP played as beautiful as it looked.. Now the reason why I bought it was to replace an MCA Coral copy I bought sometime in the mid 80's. Sometime around 1994 or so, I had dropped a metal hashpipe directly onto the Boris The Spider track..making a star like crack in the record.. on the other side, I Can See For Miles was the casualty. Injured as it was, kept the old LP anyways.. if I wanted to hear Miles, I had the 45 single. Did I throw my old friend out, you may ask? Nahh.. handed it over to a friend of mine, who gave it to his 12 year old daughter to play.. along with the US Decca label Miles single... |

| GimmeVinyl Member since Nov 2019 597 Points | Oh.. I almost forgot! Two other LPs I bought that day. Beatles 65, and Beatles VI... Both on Apple..both very clean and lovely playing.. $14.99 a piece. |

Ok so I got home in time to check out the Cancer Research shop and their record pricing is always good for a giggle! There was a Dolly Parton LP in there - a Hallmark label one, no less! - and they wanted £9.50 for it! That's nine point five British poundlings!!!
Pass!  |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Picked this up on Saturday for Can$3.30 Capitol (Canada) - Sound Valu Promo Sampler What makes this double LP cool is not only the great selection of tracks, but John Lennon on side 1 with Stand by Me, and the Beatles on side 2 with Back in the U.S.S.R. Finding solo Beatles on any sampler is rare, but finding the Beatles themselves, particularly in 1982, rarer still. Checking around the interwebs finds it selling at more than Can$40 Amy |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | A really rare LP on Canada's Yorkville label Got it for $1, but is is worth a lot more. It is a compilation of groups that appeared on the Canadian CTV network music show After Four -- geared toward young people Of interest is the 2 track on the B side -- a cover of (The) Pink Floyd's track See Emily Play as done by the group Three To One. I've linked the video at the record listing Amy |

| Malcyramone SUBS Remember the good old 1980's? Member since Sep 2011 7690 Points | Three large boxes of cassettes (about 650 - 700) for £25. Should keep me out of mischief for a while. |

 | OldMod67 "..all the cats, you know who they are.. " Member since Nov 2010 944 Points | Whilst dropping off donations at my local charity shop, I came across this: I later noticed a stamp on the rear cover, it being the name and address of John Stephen in Carnaby Street. It cost me £1. My bargain of the week. Even cheaper (free) my son has just returned from Fareham, with a load of records, including this one for me:  I bought their first, but in 1978 just bought the singles (I still don't get how I missed out on a copy) but rectified now, thanks to a generous son! |

 | carryonsidney a happy disposition is an omnious sign.... Member since Feb 2010 1702 Points Moderator | You jammy soso ! My copy of this is very beaten up I bought it at a carboot they used to have out at West Parley, one of the essential mod albums. I would certainly like to see the JS stamp I wonder if it belonged to him personally?

| OldMod67 "..all the cats, you know who they are.. " Member since Nov 2010 944 Points | The stamp is for John Stephen Organisation, the address 52-55 being for Stephen House. The offices used for Galaxy Entertainments/Don Arden and much later Smash Hits magazine. I believe it's currently a Puma store. Edited by OldMod67 on 27th Jan 2023, 11:27 AM |

| carryonsidney a happy disposition is an omnious sign.... Member since Feb 2010 1702 Points Moderator | Excellent, presumably where he had his offices in 64 - his shops routinely played music in store, off records rather than any muzak tape technology. Since he had 16 or 17 shops in Carnaby at one point you would think a few of these records would had surfaced by now but to my knowledge thats the first one I've heard of. you might like this btw. |

you might like this btw. Thanks for that, very interesting indeed. I resisted the biography as it was mentioned back then that it fell short somewhat. Great footage on YouTube of Carnaby Street at the time, but a decent book on John Stephen would be welcome. Finding this stamp on the record yesterday made me realise, don't think I've wandered along Carnaby St in over thirty years... |

Yeah, I was a fan from '77, but at an age where pocket money was still spent on trading/football cards and comics. The first Rats album was my first LP with my own money and I still love it now. But albums were just that much more than two packets of football cards (with that hard stick of bubblegum in). Great time for records though! |

| carryonsidney a happy disposition is an omnious sign.... Member since Feb 2010 1702 Points Moderator | Oh dear mate, I was round that way the other weekend its changed a lot since 1990's, there are at least some record shops in Berwick St still. OldMod67 wrote:
