Flea markets mostly, bits of art, music. Oh and books. I like books.
I'm presuming you saw the Meridian Edition? Looks like that sold out too. lobbyartrecs.bandcamp.com/album/countr...

Ah, I see you got to the source. Yeah, this one stays with you.

"Where the dive bar meets the divine" is the best description of Old Saw I've heard.

From Country Tropics to The Wringing Cloth, the whole thing is a vision of analogue, avant-garde, Americana.

Unique, uplifting, sometimes dark, ultimately spiritual.

Talking of art, this... is really quite something.

1000's of garbage for maybe one good find... I gave up that fight some months ago. There is a kind of pro vinyl seller tho.

Back to the 70s again with Thunderbird 2.

A little further back in time with this Hillman Minx Service Parts Catalogue.

Staying in the 1970s, with the latest in gaming tech.

Back to the 1970s with this bar table type thing. Totally impractical, but very cool.

They are all hand stamped, quite a feat really.

First few gigs, yeah. I left 'due to musical differences'.

@msretroknickers.bsky.social Yup. The 'update' was simply a change in colour, no new content. I think Matthew wanted the cover to match the colour of the lyric booklet that came with the original 1984 cassette.

Forgot to mention... there actually was an idea to keep updating the text with more reminiscences from more people and more places every few years, so the thing would just kind of kept growing by 10-20 pages each time. Other stuff got in the way :\

Very Striking :) I think the final choice was the right one.

I love how this LP is packaged. You did a really good job of celebrating this band and that time (tyme?).
