London Vinyl Diggin'

A trip to London today ostensibly to do a job but L came with me as she wanted to go shopping in Oxford Street. We did not leave Brighton til the 10.40 am train as i had to post a job off and get a BACS form signed. So I met GC this morning to have a coffe and get that BACS form signed and for her to give me a PRS job she didn't want to do (as it was more for me than her).

Anyway in London she went Oxford Street way and I took the tube to Notting Hill Gate and Portobello Road as i had some stuff to swap, including books and albums.

At Intoxica picked up the following albums for ten pounds total -

Hugo Montenegro -The Best of .. (RCA LP) - some great tracks here,esp version of "Classical Gas".
Boz Scaggs and Band - Boz Svaggs and Band (CBS LP) - for "Monkey Time" and "Flames of Love" as its funky.
Bossacucanova and Roberto Menescal  - Brasilidade (Zinguboom/Crammed Discs 2LP)
Bobby Matos and John Santos - Mambo Jazz (Ubiquity LP)

and from Notting Hill Xchange  -

Andre Previn - Rollerball O.S.T. (MGM Records LP) one of these heavy vinyl reissues. Two moog crazy funk tracks.

Francis Lai - Live For Life (United Artists LP) - three great tracks that end side two.

Francis Lai - Bilitis (United Artsts LP) for two funky tracks "I Need A Man" and "Rainbow"

Various Artists - Swinging' Cheese (IRMA Records 2LP)

Norman Whitfield / Rose Royce - Car Wash (MCA 2LP) - better than the single disc version.

Quite a nice haul overall!

Will have to do job tomorow and Sunday now.
