Haven't posted for awhile due to being very busy with work,and i must go soon to do a KFC instore visit.

A few days up in London over the weekend and yesterday before doing a station survey at Finsbury Park gave me a good few happy moments despite losing and finding my lost mobile phone again. Lost it Sunday on a train and picked it up from City thameslink station lost proerty dept. yestreday on my way to Finbury |Park..

Below were Friday's haul including the first two being £2 cheapies from Intoxica of all places. The Mollie Thompson LP "From Worlds Afar" (Asteroid) is a werid pick that Johhny trunk mentioned in his Mojo column and apparently less than 100 copies exist of this one-of.Found this in a market stall in West London!!



Next lot from Saturday - nice getting a clean Jap copy of Tina Brooks Blue Note classic for under a tenner. Loving the Heron compilation on See For Miles indeed. The walter Bishop Lp, also recommeded here by someone else, is another fine jazzy groove album. I must do some mp3s (if i get time).

London's real Record Shops

These are some of the vinyl emporiums i visited last weekend. They are all discoveries for me but mentioned before in the pages of vg+ website. Got some great records as you will notice from previous entry.The great thing about them is that the majority here are off the beaten track in the suburbs of the city rather than the centre.

Alan's Records in Finchley area - nice chap.made me a cup of tea whilst i perused his vinyl stuff.
