It’s the Led Zepp collection’s turn for the bath. Starting with this one from 1976 which I ignore way too often. It’s a good album, just not as good as the others. I will play it more. #xp #vinyl #LedZeppelin

Been cleaning and progging it right up all day. This is Man with Rhinos, Winos & Lunatics from 1974 which gets a solid 3.8 over on Progarchives. #vinyl #man #xp #progressive
Front cover of Rhinos, Winos and Lunatics from Man. The band are all sitting in what looks like a chaotic living room with, on the far left, a Welsh flag (as they are a Welsh band) draped over a life sized model of a Rhino. The record playing on a turntable.

Found a couple more #UriahHeep records in the prog rock shelf to clean and play. Will start with Abominog from 1982 as the cover is so cool! #vinyl #xp #progressive
LP cover for Abominog by Uriah Heep. It prominently features a demons head with horns and pointy ears and a wide open mouth bearing sharp teeth, drooling. The background is red and the band’s name and LP title are written in black. Cover of Fallen Angel by Uriah Heep. It’s open wide to show the full image of a Valkyrie type woman standing over a demon, with bloodied swords in her hands.

A huge bonus of this cleaning marathon is it has reminded me of records I’d forgotten I had. This is an extraordinary record for 1969, Can’s debut and (arguably) the birth of Krautrock. #vinyl #can #krautrock #xp #progressive
The image features a stylized album cover depicting a humanoid figure with no face, wearing a black and colored armor, holding a gun or similar in one hand. The background includes clouds and mountains, with text stating "MONSTER MOVIE” by “THE CAN”. A close-up of a spinning vinyl record on a turntable, with a visible tonearm and stylus. The record has a black label at the center, and the turntable is on a dark surface.

Enjoyed that more than I thought I would. Lots of cowbells. I approve.

Continuing with Wonderworld from 1974 - a lot dirtier this one so fingers crossed it cleans up ok. #UriahHeep #vinyl #xp #prog

Bit of heavy prog (not that heavy really) this morning. I’ve had a couple of Uriah Heep albums in the collection for years but still not entirely sure if I like them. Cleaned them anyway…. #vinyl #prog #xp #UriahHeep
Album cover for "Return to Fantasy" by Uriah Heep, featuring vibrant artwork of a figure with flowing wings against a dark background. The title and band name are prominently displayed in bold, stylized lettering. A close-up view of a spinning vinyl record on a turntable. The record has a yellow label, and the turntable features a sleek design with a stylus positioned over the grooves.

First use of my HumminGuru Ultrasonic record cleaner. And the results are extremely good so far. It was an expensive outlay but owning 3500 vinyl albums worth it. Wish I'd had such a machine years ago. #HumminGuru #RecordCleaning #VinylCleaning #UltrasonicVinylCleaning

The Who shelf is next to the Mod Revival shelf so we’re on to the big boys now. This is maybe the one record I’d take to that desert island everybody talks about…. #TheWho #xp #HumminGuru #vinyl
Front cover of the Quadrophenia LP with the iconic mod on a scooter and all four band members reflected in the mirrors. Quadrophenia vinyl in the cleaner having a nice bath.

I have had (am having) wine. And cooking a curry.

Listening to #TheKillermeters and pretending my wife likes them too.

I have no idea why somebody was selling this, brand new, for £1 on eBay. I just bought it unheard, but have to say it’s pretty good. #vinyl #TheMalpractice #xp
An image of a record player with a vinyl record visible. Beside it, an album cover titled "The Malpractice, Slur," featuring a colorful, illustrated creature. Framed artwork hangs on the wall, and a wooden speaker is positioned next to the turntable.

Last one for today to give the ultrasonic cleaner a rest. The Killermeters started out in 1977 as a punk band but moved quickly on to playing for the mod scene in ‘78. Songs like SX 225 became mod/scooter rally classics. #vinyl #xp #TheKillermeters
Album cover for "Metric Noise" by The Killermeters featuring five band members in stylish attire, with a mix of black-and-white and color tones. The background shows a city setting, and the band's name is prominently displayed. A close-up of a colored vinyl record on a turntable. The record is clear with glittery flecks and features a blue label with song titles. A tonearm is positioned over the record.

Things were moving on in the mid 90s and the new mod interest inspired by Blur and britpop was very different. The Itch had other ideas though. This album emulates the sound of ‘79 and does a pretty good job of it. #vinyl #TheItch #xp
The image features a vinyl record cover titled "Avenue Parade" by the band "The Itch," featuring four members in a close-up photo. In the foreground, there is a white mug with a red handle, displaying a cartoon mammoth and the words CupOfTea.Social on it.

Scoop is the first of three LPs (Another Scoop and Scoop 3 released in 1987 and 2001 respectively) containing The Who and solo demos from Townshend’s vast catalogue. #AlbumReview #vinyl

Pete Townshend – Scoop
We kick off with an acoustic version of So Sad About Us, complete with intro by Pete himself. A lovely demonstration of Townshend’s guitar prowess. But, alas, at 2:26 it abruptly stops and he…

Nine Below Zero from 1981. One of the mod revival bands from the time that had longevity and reinvented themselves as a blues/rock band. This, however, is pure mod with some classics like ‘One Way Street’. #vinyl #NineBelowZero #xp
A record cover featuring four cartoonish figures in suits, with an abstract blue background. The band "9 Below Zero" is displayed prominently at the top, while the title "Don't Point Your Finger" is written at the bottom alongside a pointing hand. A close-up of a spinning vinyl record on a turntable, featuring a stylus positioned above the grooves. The record has a green label in the center. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the record player.

My original copy from 1982 and it’s a little tired, but plays very well. One day I’ll seek out a better copy. Never been reissued, it’s probably my favourite Secret Affair LP. #vinyl #SecretAffair #xp
A black and white image of an album cover titled "Business as Usual" by Secret Affair. The design features a keyhole with a cloud of dust or particles emanating from it, set against a plain black background.

This one is from 1982 and it’s the official fan club album from Squire. I was so envious of my wealthier friend who owned this back then, but I had to wait until 2015 when it was reissued in this limited edition of 500. I snapped one up! #vinyl #NowPlaying #xp
An album cover featuring a plain white background with teal text. The text reads "SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING NEW SOMETHING BORROWED..." prominently on the left, and "THE OFFICIAL SQUIRE FAN CLUB ALBUM" on the right. A close-up view of a vinyl record on a turntable. The record features a label indicating the title "Something Old, Something New" with song listings. The turntable includes a stylus and is positioned on a dark surface.

Continuing the cleaning/playing…. This is 1985’s Wild Child from The Untouchables, on Stiff Records. Self proclaimed as ‘America’s first ska band’. They called themselves ‘mods who played ska’. This LP arrived a little too late to have any real impact on the UK mod revival scene. Good
The image features a close-up of a vinyl record cover for "Wild Child" by The Untouchables. The cover is predominantly red and depicts a person wearing black sunglasses, with bold text displaying the album title. A close-up of a vinyl record featuring "Wild Child" by The Untouchables. The label displays track names and production credits, with details indicating it was made in England and is part of the STIFF record label.
