Sad - but I’m guilty of looking at the vinyl setups and storage in the posh property mags
This is from the latest Elle Decoration
Interesting choice of display albums (Jagger, Darts, Sutherland Brothers & Quiver). I’m not being sniffy- honest!

RIP Danny Thompson (1939-2025). He leaves behind an astonishing discography of wonderful vinyl. Here’s a favourite among many, many favourites that we will be spinning today

Stumbled across a Jamaican press of Gregory Isaacs’ debut in a charity shop (£4) - worth it for the Ford Capri on the cover alone

A mate just found a copy of this prog folk holy grail in a charity shop for a £1 (signed as well). Pretty good work - as there’s currently one on eBay with a bid of £810 on it!
I suppose I could pretend not to be jealous

This is different. A turntable that uses an optical sensor rather than a stylus - and plays your vinyl vertically, you can even mount it on your wall (if you trust your DIY skills that is)
It’s called the Miniot Wheel 3. We’re intrigued

Seen this ad? A denim jacket that proudly displays the album of your choice. It’s got to be the ideal way of showing the world that you own a Nick Drake first press… hasn’t it?

An interesting recent charity shop find - £3 (they still exist! Though barely)
The Fence - Harold McNair (B & C Records, 1970). Sleeve was issued with a pink pouch with a balloon inside. These are long gone but still a cool album

Rest in peace, Sly. Thanks for the albums
Is this his greatest moment on VINYL? Groovy Times thinks so. Saying that, there’s plenty to choose from

Unearthed a nice Chris Farlowe album. Paint it Farlowe. 1966. On Immediate, bright pink label, produced by Mick Jagger. Canadian press
Just one thing - there’s a hole punched out of the top left hand corner. Is there anything more savage in the world of collecting vinyl than a drill hole deletion?

In its review of 2024 - retail association ERA revealed the average cost of a new album on vinyl is £27.76
In terms of relatable comparisons that’s the equivalent of five and half pints of beer and a couple of bags of crisps
I can’t work out if that’s a good deal or not?

It’s Mark E Smith’s birthday today. He would have been 68
Quick question to mark the occasion: Is this album his greatest moment on vinyl?
And if not, what is?
