It's ages since I have had any chazza buys to post but when a live album by the Meters recorded at a party on the Queen Mary hosted by Paul and Linda McCartney to celebrate the launch of Venus & Mars turns up - well, I am not going to leave that behind, am I?

A CD called Uptown Rulers! The Meters Live On The Queen Mary with a £4 Cancer Research UK price sticker on the front

“Heavy rains that often fall in February have flooded the low-lying meadows in the broad valley.”
‘What to Look for in Winter’, 1959

Other work of the Ladybird artists.
'Hawk above the Downs'
Artist: CF Tunnicliffe
An etching of a wide flat landscape under stormy skies. On a slope a Shepherd surveys his flock while overhead a hawk soars through the rain clouds.

With a concerted effort and a much improved bid, I don't think it's too late for Fulham to beat Channel 4 to the signing of Nigella Lawson #ffc #coyw

I have opted out of #VinylSanta this year but my local BHF served up these two beauties this morning so I am going to imagine a stranger sent them to me. Good luck to everyone participating this evening and may your parcels contain treasures that are smack bang in your wheelhouses 🎅🏻
The album Gets/Gilberto #2 by Stan Getz-Joao Gilberto Recorded Live at Carnegie Hall on Verve. The cover features an abstract painting by Olga Alzibu with splashed of black and yellow paint on a green background. The seasonally appropriate album Jesus Was A Capricorn by Kris Kristofferson with Kris and his buddies posing on the front with lots of denim, boots and big shades on view

This album was my introduction to Chris Rea. Glastonbury '84 the sound engineers played this on repeat between the acts on the Pyramid Stage
The album Wired To The Moon by Chris Rea. The cover features a rudimentary drawing of a planetary mobile with a red star, blue moon and yellow sun.

I am not saying my dreams are boring but last night I dreamt that I got halfway to the dump before remembering that, as of Monday, you need to book a slot

I stumbled on a 99p bargain CD copy of Breakout on 'cogs only to find the seller had a £1 minimum order. Needing to spend only 1p I ended up filling my boots with these gems at bargain prices. The Merle Haggard is a modern 180g reissue and looks unplayed #ReggaeSky #weekendsingles #FunkSky
The CD reissue of the album Breakout by Louisa 'Markswoman' Mark. Louisa is sat in a leather armchair in a suspiciously real looking fur stole and a floppy cream hat on the cover Three twelve inch singles: I Wanna Do The Do by Bobby Thurston, Don't You Love It by Maxine Singleton, a white label promo of Everlasting Love by Marie Krystal and the seven inch single Rain by Dorothy Morrison on Elektra A modern reissue of the album Swinging Doors And The Bottle Let Me Down by Merle Haggard and the Strangers

Washing up soundtrack
The album To The World by Rudy Romero. The cover features a pen and ink drawing of an open living room door. Through the open door is a colour photo of planet Earth seen from space. What my photo doesn't really do justice to is that this is a gatefold sleeve and the open door is die-cut and the photo of Earth is actually inside the gatefold sleeve

This is every bit as funky as you would expect and Bang Records have a splendid label #FunkSky
The album cover of Born To Get Down by The Muscle Shoals Horns Close up of the record label with the very colourful Bang Records logo (each letter is in a different colourful pattern)

One of the first records that got me into reggae and, despite having nearly worn the grooves smooth over the years, it still sounds magnificent. The segue from The Invasion into its dub version Black Wa Da Da is sublime #ReggaeSky

Five CDs of Beach Boys hits and rarities from a charity shop this morning. It's missing the booklet but still has the retro transfer. All I need now is a 'woodie' station wagon to stick it on 🏄🏻

I am trying to decide whether this is accidental or deliberate top-trolling in the dedications on the back of this Chas Smash solo album 🤣
The dedication reads: "To my teacher's I am indebted, for all the lessons gratefully received."
