London Visit

 Today a trip to Thornton Heath,London to capture customers coming out of a Co-op store. Beforehand though, took some old vinyl up to Notting Hill to exchange for more interesting stuff and picked up three fine albums - 

Little Milton - Blues N' Soul  (Stax LP)
BT Express - Non Stop (Roadshow LP)
Van Morrison - TB Sheets (Bellaphon LP)

 and from Intoxica -

Gene Ammons - Greatest Hits (Prestige LP)  - esp. for "Jungle Strut" - damn funky!
Ennio Morricone - Le Casse (Bell LP)
Various - Easy Tempo Vol.3 (Right Tempo 2LP) - another Italian cool compilation

and from another place -

Various - Love Peace and Poetry,British Psychedlic Music (Normal Records CD)

A nice bunch indeed.

No Rehab

Decided not to vist the bootfair today as i still somewhat feel unwell with a throat that feels swollen but isn't and yet swallowing is a little touch painful,probably from all the coughing.It seesm to be hanging on. Also despite doing an exchange i still spent quite a bit on records both for yersterday (£26) and the day before in Worthing (£15) and have some to wade through and listen to properly. 

Also. i still have to finish the smoking diary job and collect these diaries and give the respondets a tenner (cash or a mix of cash and vouchers)as a thankyou!  (money already sent by the reserach company to me to give the incentives) Plus still need to finish off another one for EB and start the smokers placement job. 

That is thr trouble with diggin' for grooves. it gets so addictive! 

I hope my guy at the bootfair will keep the Dudley Moore LP for me as i still want  it.

It is all in the details

This is the full deatils for the gene Ammons "Greatest Hits" LP bought yesterday for £3 - some surface noise but the best track by far is "Jungle Strut". as its a later funkier track.
