#weekendsingles #nowplaying A final selection of 45s to round off my weekend listening. Thanks so much @jimmyviz.bsky.social for keeping the dream alive and thanks to everyone who contributed. Have a good week!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying A few tunes lined up before the pasta! It's been a while since I played Untouchables on the Gen X EP

#weekendsingles #nowplaying Picked up this 2009 CD comp in Oxfam as it includes most of my favourite Japan singles - but no Nightporter! Maybe @philk282.bsky.social has seen it around?

#weekendsingles Testing the ref @jimmyviz.bsky.social to see if I can pick up a yellow card now the World Cup has started. Wish I'd owned this album in '81!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying A rather random selection on this sunny Saturday. Great to see all the posts so far. Some serious kit to be fair!

#CDFriday #nowplaying Bee Gees are up first! @johngstyles.bsky.social it's been quite a week

#weekendsingles It may soon be time to pack up the 45s as Monday comes around. Thanks @jimmyviz.bsky.social for keeping an eye on us over the weekend! Just time to spin a couple more..

#weekendsingles Pothole trashed my tyre so I'm posting Gary Numan!

#weekendsingles #albumalmanac This just dropped in my local Oxfam - I love the sleeve - looks like Brighton in the '80s. Pretty sure some of the big lads on the thread including Simon from Warwick liked this band!

#weekendsingles Playing Juke Box Jury with my lad who scoring today's picks. So far he has scored That's All 9, Roxette 8, Jack and Diane 7, and Stranglers 5 (and that was being generous apparently) with Mr Bragg being given a mere 6 😃

#nowplaying Some blue CDs I'm playing in advance of #CDFriday when I will be super busy! Costello is up first. What's your next pick @johngstyles.bsky.social @philk282.bsky.social @gerardojoseph.bsky.social @jaynemoobs.bsky.social @davidef.bsky.social @basinhead.bsky.social

#CDFriday Cover mounts and a Costello comp found in my glove compartment!

#nowplaying #weekendsingles It's not the weekend yet but I can't wait that long! Spinning a few tunes from the top cupboard before tea

#12inchtuesday #nowplaying Revisited Fulham Court and I'll be going down to Liverpool next after a bit of nightswimming!

#weekendsingles Some good B sides on this set including Verdi Cries, The Hardest Part, Government Bookstore snd Wait Until June

#weekendsingles Heading into the city. Have a good evening!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying Thanks @jnanagarbha.bsky.social for the Pretty in Pink prompt. Super posts from everyone so far! Here's my random 10 tunes starting my day

#CDFriday #nowplaying Recent finds, some from the wonderful border town of Hay-on-Wye. Van is playing live with the Chieftains at Ulster Hall, Belfast and at Colrain University, around 1988. Looks like a bootleg, sounds fantastic!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying A couple of Billy Bragg CDs I found at the Oxfam pop-up bookshop at the Hay Festival site. Very glad to see the shop return after a no show last year. The limited edition Bloke on Bloke mini album is new to me @trevorpalmer.bsky.social @johngstyles.bsky.social

#12inchtuesday #weekendsingles Sad to leave Hay after a fun weekend camping/meeting family in the Old Black Lion/buying records/going to talks at the Hay festival. On the way home we stopped in the medieval market town of Newent where time has actually stopped. Love it!

#weekendsingles Hats off to my bro Pat Ffrench who has a fab singles collection back in Hereford. Always happy to join him at Ffrench Towers to play a few tunes!

#weekendsingles Waking up to the sunshine in Hay-on-Wye. Quick visit to see Aiden at Haystacks yesterday!

#CDFriday #nowplaying Love has been my favourite Aztec Camera album since we played it to death during games of chess, accompanied by Lapsang tea, at my student bedsit 15B Menai View Terrace, Bangor, in 1987. Matt Taylor enjoyed a game and tolerated this album. Sadly he is no longer with us

#weekendsingles #nowplaying A Friday night set as I'm hitting the road. Will no doubt catch up over the weekend!

#weekendsingles #12inchtuesday Playing a few tunes before taxi driving!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying Mrs Ff has kindly allowed me to set up my portable in the kitchen diner which means I can play the 45s I keep downstairs more often. Don't worry there are a lot more singles upstairs and another turntable!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying Was Glitter Gulch a brilliant mistake? I can skip it but the rest of this Costello album sounds perfect to me. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (a cover) was released as a single. Any other tracks 45s @dazzyjef.bsky.social @johngstyles.bsky.social @unclewald.bsky.social

#weekendsingles #nowplaying A Sunday selection including a Wings tune I didn't know I owned. Can't stop playing Jealousy by the PSBs. Think it's the drum break towards the end after 'I met you' when the song reaches its emotional peak. Brilliant!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying A random birthday selection from the archives - only Tragedy is new, found in a box containing a mixed bag, plus a few acetates, at Riverman Records yesterday. Thanks for all the fab posts so far and thanks @jimmyviz.bsky.social for picking the teams!

#weekendsingles I was delighted to land this REM pic disc 12 from @riverman.bsky.social in Oxford. My bro enjoyed his visit, immediately closing in on the Dexys singles box. We were lucky not to lose our haul in the pub, where we were drinking a beer called Broken Dream!😂

#CDFriday #NowPlaying Was listening to Shot Of Love, one of @johngstyles.bsky.social's favourite Dylan albums and Every Grain of Sand came on. I'd forgotten how much I love that track. Biograph comp is up next!

#12inchtuesday #weekendsingles Just found a live Down The Dip on the Aztec Camera 12 so enjoying that plus a few more before I taxi off!🚘

#weekendsingles Thanks for all the super posts, all the friendly chat this weekend. It's time for me to sign off - have a good week everyone!

#weekendsingles Nice kit at Thame Oxfam specialist books/music shop!

#weekendsingles Where's the day gone?! Quick baker's dozen before a lateish tea

If you're tired of playing with Lego why not build your record collection with a visit to @riverman.bsky.social in Oxford? A box of real beauties just dropped!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying a random selection from the archives while I take a break from watching the footer. Great to see all the posts so far - have a good weekend!

#12inchtuesday #weekendsingles Not their best but this super sad list song is one of my favourites.Tea in the Sahara live on the flip!

#weekendsingles One last set of 45s before the working week beckons - at least Arthur does as he pleases! Have a good evening everyone

#weekendsingles Here's a few tunes including Gangsters to celebrate Bank Holiday!

#weekendsingles #albumalmanac Thanks everyone for all the cracking posts this weekend so far and thanks @jimmyviz.bsky.social for organising us. Not everyone appreciates Dylan but there are a lot of different versions of Bob to choose from. Enjoy the bank holiday!

#weekendsingles Here's some 45s for a lunchtime selection!

#weekendsingles Playing a few more 45s before tea time. Has it stopped raining yet?

#weekendsingles Any of you guys have this Francoise 45? Spotted @riverman.bsky.social in Oxford!

#weekendsingles Is the coda for Layla actually the best bit?! Medicine Show sounding better than I remember it! Have a great afternoon

#nowplaying #weekendsingles Took a lunchtime break from deadlines in my favourite tranquil oasis @riverman.bsky.social in Oxford (well it was pretty mellow until Revolution No 9 came on!) Picked up a pristine copy of Wings Greatest. Another Day is a masterpiece right @johngstyles.bsky.social?!

#weekendsingles Off out with the dogs tonight in suburbia. Have a great week everyone!

#weekendsingles Winging it in @riverman.bsky.social in Oxford and came out a bag of apples!

#weekendsingles Celebrated finishing 306th in my local parkrun with a 6 for 5 deal at Oxfam. A scruffy Reflex and a pristine Terry Darby plus Paul Johnson as a blind buy - his Half A World Away sounding very smooth!

#weekendsingles Super article about Back on the Chain Gang - probably my favourite Pretenders single! www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
