Crawley Visit

 Took the  opportunity of engineering works on the main rail line and got a free trip to Three Bridges via the bus replacement scheme (tee he) - so I saved about eight quid in fares.

So i visited my favourite charity shop there where all the vinyl is still ten pence a throw.

These are what i got today in the YMCA charity shop in Crawley -

Singles 

Diana Ross - My Old Piano (Motown)  - great production by the Chic quys.Groovy.
Giorgio Moroder - Chase (Casablanca) - synthy Euro  electro-pop
George "Bad" Benson "Supership" (CTI) - modern northern soul classic,and funky flipside "My Latin Brother"
Joe Tex - Ain't Gonna Bump No More (Epic ) - funky disco music
Medicine Head - Rising Sun (Polydor)  - funky boogie
Kool and The Gang - Summer Madness (De Lite) - B side to lacklustre "Jones vs Jones" ,but this flip is a live synthy groove.
The Foundations - Baby Now That I've Found You (Pye)  
Herb Alpert - Rise (A&M) - the parp parp man does disco funk
Cornershop - Brimful of Asha (Wiija)  - went to number one this did!
Laurie Anderson - O Superman (Warner Bros.) -  classic avant garde single that became a hit thanks to John Peel

Albums 

Henry Mancini - The Big Band Sound of .. (RCA Camden)  - cool version of "Moanin'"
Cyril Ornadel - Stereo Spectacular Vol.2 (RCA) - funky "Walking The Dog" and a groovy "April In Paris"
Engelbert Humperdinck - His Gretest Hits (Decca) - yep Quando Quando Quando again,plus "Another Time Another Place"
Various Artists - The Hamlet Collection (A&M)  - good comp. with Quincy Jones "Ironside" being the highlight
Jack Jones - Together (RCA)  - not played yet but like his voice anyway, so poosibly a late nighter cooler albvum. Gosh,must be gettin' old liking Mr,Jones.
Joan Baez - On Vanguard (Vanguard) - a bit of a punt on this one.

So £1.60 for sixteen slabs of vinyl from vg+ conditon to near mint condition mostly .
