I've been hanging with the hollow men who never got the groove..HUFC following, record collecting, Greyhound dad and ex gadabout. #Fridayvinyl.- every Friday, I have a few beers, play LP's and post pictures of them. Dreary Moron.
As usual, the last word on #Fridayvinyl belongs to #TheIncredibleJimmySmith and he's joining in the best of party with the first LP I ever owned of his, 66's "Greatest Hits". It's been great fun this week, 'til next time, stay safe, stay loose and stay lovely. Peace.x #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #Jazz

Love it Rob. Btw, while I've got you, thanks for finally pushing me to watch Deadwood. Just binged series 1 in two days (Insomnia sometimes reaps rewards) outstanding TV.

#Fridayvinyl time. Greatest hits/best of's can get a sniffy reception in certain quarters but sometimes you just want to hear the bangers. This week, I'm going with that thought and a few of the best "best of's" beginning with this essential collection from '78. #SteelyDan #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

In the mood for some randomness. I'm at your whim Bluesky, give me a letter and number and I'll play the corresponding record in my library next. My collection is in alphabetical but first name order i.e. Paul McCartney is under P, not M.. sorry if that upsets. #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #Vinyl

A thoroughly enjoyable day watching the cup but 'er indoors has now wrestled the remote and banished me to my fortress of solitude. Everyone's a winner as it's a rare Saturday night with the wax. Only one way to go... #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky #BeeGees

A new year, but the same ol' #FridayVinyl closing spot for #TheIncredibleJimmySmith
After a week of pot noodles in a hotel room, it's nice to get some "Home Cookin'". It's good to be back, 'til next week, stay safe, stay loose and stay lovely. Peace.x

Driving back from my aforementioned stint in Cumbria, #CaroleKing's "Home Again" cropped up on the wireless and it hit the sweet spot. It also made me realise I haven't spun "Tapestry" for an absolute age so here's that oversight rectified. #FridayVinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

I've just spent a week working nights in Carlisle/Gretna where the temp dropped to -10 and ones mind drifted to sunnier climes. As we're still miles away from Spring, music is a vehicle that can get us there. Here's #RamseyLewis with his take on the new sound. #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

However, it's the law that it must be mentioned that this should have replaced the wishy washy Beatles cover.

I'll continue the #Bowie memoriam with my favourite LP of his. Passed down by my sisters, the Y.A. single was the very first 7" I ever owned (second actually, Baccara's "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" doesn't carry the same cache, although it remains a solid banger.) #Fridayvinyl #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky

Nail on the head.💗 Re: ICGEA, It's one of my favourite DB tracks, although I found it the most difficult to listen to in the years after he left us. This lovely cover helped. I go back to it every now and then, late at night, and the tears are always accompanied by smiles.

I was blogging at the time he left us and used it to express an immediate response. I've just re-read it for the first time since. A tad naif, but I stand by it. (Decent playlist I hastily knocked up too).

10 years. That cold January news hit me very hard indeed and, such was the upset, it took an absolute age to go back to his music. I loved this on first listen (the day before he passed) and it was cathartic when I returned to it some months later. #Fridayvinyl #Bowie #VinylCommunity #Vinylsky
