These are not lots of records. They just happen to be the same size as lots of records. It’s carpet samples or some such. With thanks to @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social - the finest purveyor of carpet samples in the whole land

Make sure you check your kid's Trick or Treat chocolate tonight. Last Halloween my son bit into a mini Mars bar and found a John Virgo ‘Gotcha' from Noel's House Party inside

NKOTB fans, take a peak.
Im guessing there's someone looking at this New Kids On The Block 7" WITH the badges with heart eyes.

If that's you... it's all yours.

Please don't request it because it's a freebee. So proof of NKOTB fandom would be welcome.

Is this one from your Winston collection @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social

Welcome to Joel's Vinyl Adoption Agency.

As we're travelling Kameyama, I've put this Japanese pressing of No Parlez up for adoption. An 80s classic with added obi.

To adopt comment 'where's my hat?'

A random wheel thingy will choose a winner later. RePost is not required, but it is appreciated.

I'm in storage and found these two German Sabbath boxsets. Unfortunately, vol 1 is missing a record... so let's pop them up for adoption.

If you'd like these comment below, 'Sabbra Cadabra' and a random wheel thingy will choose someone later.

There is no need to repost, but appreciated if you do.

I'll be on BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight this evening, along with Valerie (of course).

CNN have been in touch also.

Bloody bonkers 🤪
Ah, man... I'm so chuffed.

The story of reunited Valerie with the Voice-O-Graph she sent 70 years previous made it onto the main BBC News website.

And someone just said they heard it on Five Live.

The BBC Breakfast sofa awaits 🌞

Deals - now with - wheels. Give Joel a follow if you’re looking to add some top tier records to your collection, or drop him a message if you or someone you know are looking to part with theirs.
I'm Joel and I run Brighter Day Record Shop... a record shop with a difference.

Message me to join the Sunday Service, or if you have some records that require rehoming.

I'm available elsewhere - www.linktr.ee/brighterdayvinyl

...but not Twitter. Fuck that guy 🌞

These original US pressings of these Paul and Arthur albums are a bit too warn for me to sell, but they're still very nice, with those thick sleeves that the American pressings have.

If you want them comment "Homeward Bound" below and I'll randomly choose someone later 🌞

We made it onto BBC Sounds!

The adventure of finding Vancouver resident Valerie, the person behind a 50 year old Voice-O-Graph, which I found in a collection last month, is on BBC Sounds.

Thanks to @avavsystems.bsky.social for his work digitally restoring the audio.

Reunited with message sent home 70 years ago - BBC Sounds
The disc was recorded in New York in 1955 and posted back to Welwyn Garden City.

Tune into BBC Three Counties radio at 10.30 tomorrow to hear the wonderful Valerie talk about her voice-o-graph!

I also pipe in with a few bits.
This weekend I'm back on BBC Three Counties Radio speaking to Justin Dealey where we'll be joined by the voice behind the 50 year old voice-o-graph I found in a collection, Valerie.

Shout out to @avavsystems.bsky.social who created a playable digital version which will also be aired.

chuffed!
Can you help me find a relative of Valerie Stannard of Welwyn Garden City?

I'd love to get this Voice-O-Graph to them... or maybe get it to Valerie herself!

Sent from New York City to her parents in 1955.

Great to catch up with the man himself, enjoy going through these Joel!
It took an age, but finally, some of the records i bought on my trip to Japan in October have arrived.

Oh, the relief...🥲

I'm going to share some of the highlights below... as I've kind of forgotten what I bought.
