The rarest of things: a dirt-cheap heavy metal motherload at a car boot. Some other great stuff today too. An Indian summer! #vinylsky #vinylcommunity #metalsky

Car boot pickup from the weekend, finally getting a chance to listen. Blimey it sounds good. 1961! #vinylcommunity #jazzsky

Couple of 7s from the car boot this morning. #weekendsingles #vinylcommunity

Small car boot haul. Very pleased with the King Crimson as I've been after that for a while. Think it's a South African pressing. #vinylcommunity

Today's chazza find. Looking forward to giving it a proper listen. Supposed to sound amazing. #vinylcommunity

Picked up the Watertown record on a whim a few weeks back. Not my normal style but *what* a record! Stunning and moving on a kind of Scott Walker way. This is my favourite track. #vinylcommunity youtu.be/92_UXBX-Rhg?...

Bank holiday car boot pickups. Bargain of the day was this plum Iron Butterfly first press for a quid. #vinylcommunity

They had eBay printouts on display to justify the prices. #vinylstupidity

My 9-year-old is starting a CD collection! Can't blame him. 5G is still underwhelming, coverage is patchy, so streaming isn't a great experience. He loves reading the liner notes and now wants his own CD player for Christmas. Physical media is here to stay! #vinylcommunity

Not the tidiest of copies, but thought I'd best pick one up now before the prices get silly. From Dragon Records in Belfast. #vinylcommunity

First chazza in Belfast and picked this little oddity up. #vinylcommunity

Very sad to read of Terry Reid's death. He ploughed his own furrow and produced some real magic. Go well, Terry.

My eldest son gets obsessed with songs (yes, we're on a 4-year waiting list for an assessment). Current obsession is Buddy Holly by Weezer. Two weeks now and not even slightly sick of it. Genius.

Some jazzy Phil and some finger-in-the-ear folk for £1 each in the chazza today. #vinylcommunity

Been slim pickings at car boots the past few weeks. Happy to pick these up for a fiver each this morning. A return to form! #vinylcommunity

In the past year my 12-year-old son has gone from listening to YouTube memes on repeat to loving Green Day, Silver Sun and Blur. I'm delighted.

No records in the charity shops at the moment, so thought I'd have a look at the CDs. I *really* don't need them! But now considering recreating my teenage collection.

Still lots of punky stuff in the chazzas at the minute. Not complaining. #weekendsingles #vinylcommunity

Ha ha oh my word, if this FB Marketplace listing isn't a case of 'buy 1 get 14 free' I don't know what is! www.facebook.com/share/16qmfr... #vinylcommunity

Just realised that ChatGPT writes how Jeremy Clarkson speaks.

Little Graham Parker collection picked up from the chazza. Don't know much about him, so will be interesting. Plus bonus live Van the Man! #vinylcommunity

Not normally fussed with compilations, but spotted this one at the car boot and had to take it home. #vinylcommunity

Third time I'm listening to this since buying it a few days back. Really blown away by it. #vinylcommunity

Car boot was a bit rubbish today, but did find this in a load of house clearance stuff there for £2. Generic sleeve, but the record is not terrible and plays ok. Think it's a first press. Anyone have a spare Pepper sleeve? #vinylcommunity

The Rugby Pass app is pretty dreadful, then. Not enough invested in the resources.

I'm hoping the music is better than the sleeve design! #vinylcommunity

Lunchtime chazza pickup. Hoping the Disco Anti-stat can work some wonders! #vinylcommunity

My favourite Macca solo song. Happy birthday, Sir, and thank you. youtu.be/qs7lvM68W2g?...

Back to the Futures Trading

Oh blimey, the black banner on BBC News looks horribly ominous.

Go well, Brian.

BHF in reasonable vinyl pricing shocker. #vinylcommunity

Love this. How to nail a very challenging cover by being faithful to the original and kind of making it your own too. youtu.be/xBzyGjYzGJI?...

Not the usual chazza singles box stuff. #vinylcommunity

Quality over quantity today at the car boot. £3 each for these. #vinylcommunity

My Norn Iron wife has made fifteens and now I have to go for two runs each day to work them off.

Finally got my hands on one of these. Such an immense album! #vinylcommunity

Charity shops have definitely been worth visiting recently. #vinylcommunity

Been a while since I've had a good charity shop haul. Folk and jazz this time. #vinylcommunity

No dirt cheap bargains at the car boot today, but did pick these two up for a tenner each. No 7inch with the XTC, so if anyone has a spare one rattling around, let me know! #vinylcommunity

Maybe I should count myself lucky, but have to say, being 'head chef' of a neurodiverse family is probably the most stressful aspect of my life.

OK, just accidentally started playing Bauhaus on the kids' Alexa in their bedroom. I obviously couldn't hear anything so whacked up the volume.

One of the few benefits of insomnia. Always good to be at the car boot early. #vinylcommunity

Nice to see Gatwick are raising already extortionate drop off charges. Apparently to encourage people to use non-existent public transport services.

Heard Chris Grayling just started a job as head of Spain's power network.

Car boot was full of people wanting record shop prices for LPs. Couple of good 45s for cheap though. #vinylcommunity

Early start this morning but not much at the car boot. A few for #weekendsingles though. Pleased with the M&B. Don't see many of those around! #vinylcommunity

Couple of Good Friday car boot pickups. Trying not to think about the King Crimson 'Red' I missed out on! #vinylcommunity

Not often I buy new vinyl, but Jerry Cantrell is pretty special. #vinylcommunity
