To my friends at #weekendsingles my daughter Emily took me to see Bastille this week. It was incredible. What was more incredible was the fact that she was on the cover of the album we bought there! She’s in good company as my sister was on the cover of Too Much Too Young! What’s the chances?? ❤️

Hi #weekendsingles. Deeply saddened by the loss of Dave Ball this week. His music genuinely changed my life. An absolute genius, he will be greatly missed but not from my turntable. From Soft Cell’s first outing with money borrowed from Dave’s mum to a brief stint in The Mambas as Lance Rock , he

Filmed this for you @jaynemoobs.bsky.social in a bar tonight in Dublin. A wonderful trio sang this classic from Scott Walker. 🕶

Hi all at #weekendsingles. Gotta love a Saturday posty delivery. These literally arrived at my door 5 mins ago from Joel @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social Thanks once again Joel!

I’ve worked in worse places. Not a bad view at all. #lovenorthdevon

Oh my word… just spent a week on a sunbed in Portugal reading this by #kevinRowland. What an honest, captivating read, whilst listening to #searchingForTheYoungSoulRebels. Incredible experience.

Hi #weekendsingles. This came yesterday to swell my #Marcandthemambas collection. Thought it would be nice to add to #AlbumAlmanac. I was actually at these concerts. Where did those 42 years go? Couldn’t decide which colour vinyl so went for all 3. #oneborneveryminute. 🤣

Hi #weekendsingles and #Albumalmanac people. Have to include my favourite by #MarcAlmond. Hot on the heels of the untitled album was Torment & Toreros by #Marcandthemambas it spawned the wonderful Black Heart and Torment Singles. First heard Black Heart in a cab played by Marion, Stevo’s then gf.

Hi #weekendsingles Just when you think your #Marcalmond collection is complete another beauty appears. Bought the CD version at the time and never gave the vinyl a thought. This will sit nicely in my Marc collection. Great song originally by Charles Aznavour.

Great new #SoftCell T shirt but why did we have to wait 44 years?? Was worth the wait though.

Hi @jaynemoobs.bsky.social First time seeing James tonight at Croyde Bay. I’ll have a drunken dance for you. Any favourite live track??

Hello #weekendsingles people. Picked this up recently. A lovely thing at a sad time.

For the #weekendsingles crowd… what could be better than the local record shop owner Matt The Hat setting up in Boston tea party for the day. Coffee and crate digging. Perfect.

Hi #weekendsingles types. Going for the #Albumalmanac today with a trio of #marcalmond albums from his very best period imho. First is untitled, the first of the Mambas albums with the title track. Some great musicians on this including the wonderfully talented @anniehogan-dns.bsky.social 🕶🎶

Hi all at #12inchtuesday. My offering today is this fine track from Dave Ball if#softcell. Back in 82/3 when Marc was with his Mambas, Dave started Other People before embarking on The Grid. He was partnered with wife Gini of The Venomettes and Andy Astle. They dressed as American tourists.

Not records but related , thought the #weekendsingles crowd would appreciate. Just clearing out my late Dad’s house and found these pop magazines from the 60’s. An early kind of Smash Hits I guess. Also a book of Lennon/McCartney music and Tommy Steele.

Morning. Here’s the first of my #3vinylrecords for today. Bit of a synth vibe. First up is Space with Magic Fly. A French band from mid to late 70’s. Love it. Years ahead of its time. Always thought it odd that another band had the same name in the 90’s.

Afternoon #weekendsingles. Just played these 4. Looking forward to #3vinylrecords tomorrow. 🕶

Have to post this. Meeting Clem at Leicester DeMontfort Hall in 2004(?). He didn’t laugh too much at my syrup. 😃
RIP #Clemburke

Such a sad day. 😔
Clem was an inspiration to my son when he started his drumming career. He would email him words of encouragement. RIP #Clemburke

@yorkshiretea.bsky.social good morning. My Dad was a massive fan of your tea. He passed in January. At his funeral, as he was lowered, your teabags were dropped into the ground for ‘a cuppa for JK’. 😊

Gone into the old woolies cases for a few #weekendsingles. Am I the only one that still uses them? They can ruin the top edge of the sleeves. I die you die is sleeveless as a friend got two records in one sleeve and gave it to me back then.
