Vinyl Junkies …

Don't think I have that one. And now I'm rummaging through my french 7s :-) don't play small record much these days so there's loads of stuff I kind of just forget about.

I've got a spaceship copy as well, same kind of deal, I'm not complaining either!

I miss jaunts out to little towns in France, Germany and Belgium looking for records... Always struck gold there... My Pierre Henry Psyche Rock EP came from a flea market in Brussels, mint, €1... Grabbed loads of great stuff that day...

I'm playing at a friend's shop on Record Store Day so I've started to go through the boxes... It's a guitar/record/skate shop so it'll be a few hours of uptempo fuzz drenched mayhem... Can't wait, don't often get the chance to play that stuff...

Blame David Holmes.
I used to smash the granny out of that when I came home refreshed about x years ago. Where x > 10

That sounds like my perfect gig these days. Did a mates wedding recently that was fun - receptive crowd that were all up for fun rock and roll, garage, surf and then silly new wave and post punk later on.

Just stumbled across this. Weirdly I used to hum it to my daughter to send her to sleep when she was first born.

Quite. See also Ananda Shankar and Googie Rene :-)

I had this on loud the other day, too. Sly Stone on more drugs than usual.

Shit, and this was on a David Holmes mix too. Such a heavy tune. Always used to get comments off punters when I played this.

EDIT sorry, spamming slightly now....

Was it him? I just remember the price suddenly going through the roof, he picked up on loads of tunes that were already firm favorites amongst me and my mates... Strange to wander into a pub and hearing Country Girl by Johnny Otis or Purple Haze by Johnny Jones... Just club tunes for all the 60s kids...

Yes! Another one I'd had for ages then randomly came on when I was in a shop one day... I think that's when I first heard of him, when that comp came out... Great tracks, impeccable taste...

I've got two of this one, gotta have a spare...

I dunno if it was him, but it was on his essential mix (on cd) in 1998.
Fuck me.

Anyway.
you've got some crazy italian sleazy thing you posted on here. what is it?
in a similar b+w video, man singing along about something that sounds rude.

And you aren't spamming, just geeking out... And this is the place to do it!

@Greasy_Slag turned me onto this track on this very forum, belter...

Synchronicity... 😂

This is the better video...

I have a spare of that if anyone needs it. So good - as is the sort of reprise b-side.

I'd not heard that Johnny Jones track before finding it at a car boot years ago. Thought it found a slept on gem, then realised it was pretty well known :-)
Similar story with this one - picked it up for the grooovy cover and then found some weird fuzzy session instrumentals scattered amongst the covers. Turns out everyone has a copy!

That Abaco Dream track is a funny one to fit in a set. I've actually played it out more in post-punk sets than anything else. Just put it on a cd for a mate actually. He's well into Bauhaus etc and wanted to hear my take on that sort of thing.
This belter was on there too:

It's true most stuff is super well known now, you have to be able to dig super deep and have loads of time to find anything that hasn't been comp'd...

I went through a crazy 60s Hammond instrumental phase back in the 90s, bought absolutely anything that kicked with a Hammond on it... I'd take my Sound Burger to poxy little record fairs and listen to anything that looked interesting... Exhausting as most stuff was total shit but picked up some great things...

I don't have the energy for that these days, I give up after an hour or so...

No, I don't have the time, funds or appetite for proper digging (dredging?!) these days. I used to spend enough time just getting rid of all the chuff I'd picked up in car boots etc, let alone the acquiring...

I've also noticed that because it's so easy to buy and sell records over the Internet these days, you don't get the bargains you used to by going record shopping in, for instance, Istanbul or wherever. I went to Mumbai years ago and came back with a huge pile of what is still the cream of my Bollywood records. Coat me £30 in total. Can't see that happening today.

In summary: 'these days....not like it used to be.....rose tinted glasses.....etc' :-)

I remember playing this after it a couple of times, worked to my warped ears anyway... Cat Woman is fucking genius... ☺

First minute or so. It's a cover of "tell me why". BUT WHO?

nerdgasm = BBC broadcast quality 1970's Dickie Doubledex console on ebay

Was just reading about that, but where's the mixer?!?

If anyone was interested. It was the anonymous choir:

Would they not just each have a level rotary? I quite often don't bother with the x fader when i'm playing, and just use the line faders.
