That’s my work over for the week and I’m starting my fortnightly four day weekend with a Gravity Well-Full Circle Brew Co collaboration, this 6.8% ABV West Coast IPA. As I have no records relating to “Centripetal Force”, I’m listening to Path Through the Forest by The Factory.

This record jumped at the charity shop pile because it had a nice company sleeve. I’ve been keeping my eye out for a UK pressing of this by Bobby Hendricks (I’d like the Swallows’ version too) but I’ll take this old British comedy actor’s attempt at rock’n’roll.

I finished work and felt I deserved a mid week beer - Voyager’s Return, a 5.4% ABV West Coast Pale Ale from Gravity Well (Tottenham, London). Sun Ra’s Arkestra was the first space themed record that came to mind so that’s what I’m listening to

I picked out some records in the charity shops with yesterday because they had good condition company sleeves. But being a collector rather than a “DJ” these days, I might just be a completist and keep them for my UK rock’n’roll section

I strolled around the local charity shops with an old friend this afternoon. I bought two 45s. Then we stopped for a quick drink - I had Stand and Deliver, a 4.5% ABV dark mild from Howling Hops (Hackney Wick, east London).

This UK pressing of “I Shot Mister Lee” by the Bobettes was too cheap to pass up. The last copy in this condition to sell online went for £50. And I do love my bargains.

Saturday afternoon beer: Shall I Give You Dis Pear, a 3.4% ABV pear & guava sour from Gravity Well. I’m not a fan of sours but I’ve been assured that this is on the less sour end of the scale and very refreshing. And they were right.

I’ve had a 1975 reissue of The Fickle Chicken by The Atmospheres (1959) since I was a teenager but I do like getting original UK pressings. And this one was cheap enough that I felt I had no choice. 😊

Only one record took my fancy while out and about on my fortnightly Monday off work: You’re No Good by Betty Everett (Stateside, 1963 - originally on Vee Jay Records in the US).

On Vista del Mar, between LAX and the ocean, you can get a rough idea of when the sidewalk was laid down. Someone scratched “Beatles” into the concrete and someone else put “Elvis” underneath.

That’s my four day work week finished. Now to ease in to my four day weekend with a DIPA from Full Circle Brew Co (Newcastle Upon Tyne). Whoops. I just noticed that it’s 8% ABV. Ah, well…

I’ve been looking after our neighbour’s cat for six days. He’s been sweet and mellow. But now he knows his dad’s back and he wants to go home again.

Anspach & Hobday Is a brewery from South London but as I’m drinking their very tasty Hop Pickers’ Pale (4.2% ABV), I think some music from Kent is appropriate.

This morning’s delivery: Natural Born Lover by the Gum Drops, King Records, 1956). I don’t generally buy from non UK sellers anymore due to import tax and crazy postage costs. But this was so cheap there was no import tax payable. And it’s in excellent condition.

After lunch we strolled back home through the churchyard, looking at the grave stones as we went.
This one struck me as unusual. The inhabitants of this plot were from Virginia, USA, interred in 1841.
One of them was a man who left as a “slave” but in England was their “faithful servant”.

I guess this American RCA Victor pressing will suffice until I find a HMV copy at a price I want to pay.

It’s late on Friday night and my work is finished for the week. I’m going to relax with this Castie Rock 5% DDH Citra Pale Ale (brewed in Birmingham, England), which has inspired me to put on some jazz.
