jazzy_daveHad a storming headache this morning so was not up early enought to get to the station boot fair with the dealers. Anyway had some paperwork to finish off first. A shower and a couple of Nurofen soon got rid of the headache.
Actually got up to the station at 11 am and found five albums at 50 pence or less.
Burt Bacharach - Make It Easy On Yourself (A&M 1969)
Arthur Lyman - Love For Sale (Hi Fi records) - date unknown
Sister Sledge - We Are Family (Cotillion 1979)
Stylistics - The Best Of The Stylistics Vol.2 (H&L Records 1976) - just for Funky Weekend.
Luther Vandross - Never Too Much (Epic 1981) - title track is great.
Two quid for all five.
Also bought one book from another stall, "Radio Luxembourg Record Stars Book No.5" (Soouvenir Press 1966) £2
Features all the pop hitters of the sixties written by the stars themselves. Bought it because there is a piece by Nancy Sinatra called "Father and friends" and "How To Ruin A Record" by Tom Jones.
Some loungecore finds are still quite easy to get but other older ones are now much harder.Though they're getting much harder to find - and more expensive - original vinyl LPs are still circulating. With hard work, treasures still lurk at boot fairs and in the thrift / charity shops, but that's becoming more and more unlikely. And record stores are finally wise to the value of these pieces. You'll likely have to shell out real pounds at real record stores or pop off to somewhere like Music Exchange (Notting Hill or Camden branch) and look through their tonnes of vinyl. So in a way it was nice to find an Arthur Lyman LP this morning (even if it is an old reissue of an older album.)
