Small but high quality chazza yield. Can never resist original 1960s Motown LPs.

I’m looking forward to spinning a few tunes ahead of @bobfischer.bsky.social’s Haunted Generation show at Glossop Labour Club this Saturday. Expect a mish mash of tv themes, school choirs, brass bands and questionable covers. Business as usual! Tickets here www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bob-fische...

Fresh back from attending my first car boot sale in about 10 years. One chap selling records all discounted by about 60%. Total spend £20. Pick of the bunch is Merry Mountain Child, an album by an 80 year old Yorkshire sheep farmer. The Donald Byrd ain’t too shabby either! Can’t pass up a Blue Note!

6/ 1998 to 2000 and 2002. Just a few NMEs remain (even though I was still buying both mags every week). I'm pretty sure there are some more, somewhere. You'll find me in the loft...

5/ 1996 and 1997 NME and NM (I binned off loads of these about 20 years ago, so this is what I have left).

1/ Earlier this year I excavated my (long forgotten) collection of music papers from my folks' loft, which I've now added to the stuff I knew I had and have sorted into piles according to title and year. SEND HELP! Let's start with late 80s MM, NME and Sounds and the issues sitting atop the piles 🧵

Amongst my booty for the record fair tomorrow is a stash of classic cassettes. £3 each or two for a fiver!

I'm out and about again tomorrow, peddling my vinyl wares in the charming surroundings of Saltaire. It'll be good to meet up with my Yorkshire compadres from @therecordclub.bsky.social too! If you fancy a nice day out, pop over, buy some records and take in all that Saltaire has to offer!

#LiveAid 🧵 1/8 I think it's fair to say Live Aid made quite an impression on me. We didn't have a video recorder at the time (that came later in 1985), so I decided I was going to tape highlights from the radio broadcast...

If there’s a record label with my name on it, I’m going to turn it into a t-shirt! 🤣
