Charity shop CDs and records. Dogs, Spurs, telly and ill informed opinions. If you're looking for intelligence and original thought, look elsewhere. Oh, I like jazz. https://www.youtube.com/@shaunmcconnell846
Yesterday morning's scene. I didn't take the picture. The heart of the Preseli Hills.

I looked it up after I bought it and funk was mentioned. I thought, yeah, right. They were right.
I was familiar with a bit of his work, but was so horrified by Starsailor I sold it.
Economically, a great buy, but an awful noise.
I found an anthology in the same shop.

After finding Starsailor in the record shop for a pound and thinking it was one of the most self indulgent, confused and deeply unpleasant things I've heard I wasn't expecting much from this.
Equal parts Stones, Santana, Curtis Mayfield and a whole lot more.
Absolutely magnificent.

The same lingering CDs for months, then these. You've probably heard this ⬇️, I actually thought of you while I've been playing it. NOT IN AN ODD WAY!
A great album, I went back to the same place today to see if there was a copy of Two Sevens Clash. There obviously wasn't. This is top drawer.

Another charity shop trip, trays and shelves I've checked for weeks and months. No change until today, the first photo is the best lot I've come across in a good while. I wasn't going to look, it seemed pointless, and I was aware that I'm a frequent rummager. Not today. £3 Second photo, 10p each.

Car boot find was Prince, that was a pound, the rest are from many charity shop trips, Brubeck 25p, everything else was 10p.
Sonic Youth is an unofficial release,
It's very good.

The pick of recent charity shop/record shop/FBMP buys.
Vinyl a pound, CDs 10p.
Davis and Coltrane was a FBMP buy.
Listed for a fiver, I asked about postage and was roundly ignored.
I brought out the big guns and offered eight whole pounds. Again, expecting to be ignored.
A surprising success.

Spurs will have to be relegation candidates more often, the second shirt I've found in the past week or so. This fits.Three quid. It's a keeper. #COYS

The pick of the three for a pound. I'd have paid a pound for Jethro Tull. It will accompany the queer Russian bootleg I bought from a chap in Haverfordwest.

Two glaring omissions from the shelves have been rectified. Abbey Road arrived in a brown envelope, the case was knackered. Do I change the case and say nothing, or complain? What do you think? Bill Withers sent free of charge. Great customer service.
I Can't Write Left-Handed is a masterpiece.

A great find for £2. Ideal for fans of Spurs and Alan. XL boys. Neil's lad is getting it, he needs to suffer. He's not called Dan. #COYS #Accidentalpartridge

The record shop was having a clear out, most of it was in poor condition, these two are near perfect, and nothing a bit of glue couldn't fix on Bellson. The record shop had dropped off in the charity shop. Records 50p, CDs 10p.
The classical box is the pick. Nice bits of Pablo and Prestige.

Took a punt on this from Ali Express. My first order, it'll be my last, only due to the discount.
Arrived in well under a week, £6.43 delivered. Excellent.
I have five of these albums already, but for £6 this was a no brainer.
There's a Sabbath set I may buy, I'll get Emma, Dawn or mum on it. Haha.

Only one charity shop find today, but a good one. Pristine. 50p.

Part of the twelve for a pound. I couldn't resist IRS. I'm painting a mural of George Best on the side of my house after dinner. The Andy Sheppard album is very good, the Patricia Barber CD is a Blue Note release. Oh, there are vocals,"table knives on strings" and Adolf Hitler on vibes.

They'd put some more of Cheryl's records out.

An interesting rummage around Haverfordwest, I've already asked @maffrj.bsky.social to cast his eye over some reggae vinyl. Twenty pieces. I wish Cheryl Davi es hadn't had access to a biro.
Here are a few books and CDs.
Parklife is a US release, that was lumped in with the records. £2 all in.

Firstly, who throws this out? In the mix for the greatest double LP of them all.
The one on the left is from today, there are significant sound differences.
The RM has a more prominent bass that threatens to overwhelm at times but, the sound is fuller, less tinny and has more depth and volume...

Either missing or a bit knackered. Everything else is very good. Even I don't linger over bin bound goods. Avalon going in the bin. Terrible waste.
