Last Day on NHS Bus Survey and the YMCA Shop

Back again on the bus survey but today is the last day and so not too bothered about it. 

This time i gave myself enough time to wip into the YMCA charity shop in Crawley for a further dig. The tasty ones are now harder to find ,and hence thin on the ground,.Despite being  less to go through i managed to pick out five LPs ,and one 12" single , which I got for my own enjoyment first and then see if any may be suitable for the BOOTFAIR club nights.

The LPs are - 

Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass - This Guy's In Love With You (A&M) -as it has a nice jazzy groove own composition called "Slick"

Mireille Mathieu - Les Bicyclettes de Belsize  (EMI)  - as it  features "Celui Que J'Aime" (nice big band horn intro as used by The Herbilizer and comped I think?)

Strings For Pleasure Play "The Best of Henry Mancin" (MFP) - jazzy version of "Pink Panther Theme" and "A Shot In The Dark" as well as "Peter Gunn"

Evelyn "Champagne" King - Shame / Back To Love (RCA 12" single) - as i use to dance to "Shame" back in 1977 at my local pub disco in Bilton end of Rugby.

"Hot Hits 10" (MFP) - one of these cheap covers albums notable for its break on "Jesus" and it has a nice cover of  David Cassiday's "Storm In A Teacup"

Henry Hall and the BBC Dance Orchestra (World Record Club) - pure nostlgia stuff suitable for a themed  forties / thirties party.

Total cost for five a mere £1.20  (20p an album). I shall miss visiting this particular charity shop.


Just had cottage pie at the hospital restaurant at a subsidised £1.88 - VERY GOOD  value.
