I have collected vinyl for decades. I tell people it is my pension, and the best sounding pension anyone could ever have (all true). 🥰
Now, I’m at the age where I begin to cash in that pension.
Hence my little record store on Discogs: www.discogs.com/seller/leggo...

Working on some complex admin tasks today. I have the sweet falsetto voice of Cornell Campbell to help me push on through.
Mr Campbell looks very natty in his sharp suit and Clarkes boots, reclining proudly on (presumably) his Mk1 Ford Escort. His hate game is very strong. #reggae #music #Jamaica

Remembering Ranking Trevor who was born on this day in 1960.

In the '70s his DJing turned great singles into essential 12"s, including on Truly by The Jays, the very first 12" discomix to be released in Jamaica in 1977...

Brown Shirts in action.
If, or when, Reform take power the same thing will happen in the UK.
Or just watch the slow mo footage that clearly shows neither were in danger

Maybe it’s not the Oil Barons that are driving Climate Change science denial. Maybe it’s actually the work of the Daleks.
"...ARRANGE FOR THE EXTERMINATION OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS."

Is there a way to filter out users who only allow people they follow to comment on their posts? Because I do not see the point of posts in my feed that I am unable to engage with.

Hard to believe now, but once upon a time I did this for a living.
Not only is that me riding that Beemer for the cover shot - but I also edited the entire magazine and wrote many of the tests and features in it.
They were very special times (before #AI) ❤️

More Sugar Minott sweetness. Still on the Black Roots label. Minott absolutely blasts out his cover of this pop standard on this recording. I love everything about this disk.

Saturday Night Jamboree on the Dub Irator label.
Wayne Jarrett sings the A side, and someone called 'Silver Fox' toasts on the flip ahead of the dub finale.
It's a definitive example of how perfect the 12 inch 45 rpm format is for reggae music.

Another 12.
Another Sugar Minott masterpiece.
It's called 'Mix Up', and this particular version is on his own Black Roots label

Playing this foot-long forty-five by Michael Prophet, produced by Vivian Jackson on the Black Roots label, and reminding myself what an absolute gem this record is.

I had an R65LS for many years. Originally owned by my kid brother, I got it with about 20k miles on it. I used it for despatch riding, raising the mileage to 185,000.
I rode it in all seasons through sunshine, rain,
Storms and snow.
Reliable, fun and much missed.

Keith Poppin is a marvellous #Jamaican singer, but may be missing from some #reggae vinyl collections.
I have three Keith Poppin LPs, including this one ‘Pop Inn’. It’s finest roots reggae, so don’t be fooled by the title.
‘Envious’ and ‘More of Keith’, the other two LPs, are both superb.

My first motorcycle, as opposed to moped. In this exact colour. Bought just after my 17th birthday. I wanted an RD250 but my dad forced me to buy his mate’s CB200 because ‘a Honda is more reliable’. It wasn’t, far from it. I even had to pass my test with it stubbornly refusing to select first gear 😡

Timeless styling. Doesn’t look in the least bit dated 50 years later.

Hot dog utilises the Victorian version of air conditioning (aka Minton Tiles), post park run on a very warm English morning.

There might be some better live albums than ‘Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin’ - but I doubt there’s any with as much atmosphere.
I’ve loved this recording since my mum first played it to me back in 1969.
One of the best things she ever gave me was an appreciation for great music.

Over the last 24 hours I’ve begun to suspect that there’s a organised and concerted campaign being carried out on BlueSky to ensure that Farage and Reform have no opposition in the next British General Election. Fartrage is possibly behind it, but I suspect Putin is his partner-in-crime here.

You’re probably not interested in photos of my dog Stevie (girl). But here’s some anyway.
