#weekendsingles As Monday approaches like a jail on wheels I shall reluctantly stop playing my 45s and thank @jimmyviz.bsky.social for his moderating magnificence. Thanks @trevorpalmer.bsky.social for the Half Man Half Biscuit introduction. Now find me a Flake - I haven't seen one for years!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying this little Sunday selection while I crack on with the hoovering/cook beans on toast. Have a good afternoon!

#weekendsingles Was out late last night so I'm a little off the pace today. Here's a random 45s selection including one or two pickups from my local Oxfam this afty

#CDFriday Found this Billy Bragg CD comp in Oxfam Broad St. I've never seen this limited edition before with the extra tracks - some of them new to me! @trevorpalmer.bsky.social @johngstyles.bsky.social

#weekendsingles A final selection to spin before Monday comes like a train on wheels. Have a good week everyone!

#weekendsingles Here's my first Sunday selection. Have a great day everyone!

#weekendsingles Great to see everyone's posts today. I'm playing a few tunes after my daughter's Mamma Mia-themed 16th birthday party which was a great success I'm glad to say!

#weekendsingles Searching my reds for Hitsville UK!

#nowplaying Enjoying this Beautiful South CD comp from 25 years ago. Don't Marry Her is included but there's no I'll Sail This Ship Alone. You can't have everything!

#weekendsingles Afternoon! Baker's dozen here, totally mixed bag😀

#weekendsingles Just time for a few tunes this evening before tea!

#weekendsingles These 45s are at the top of my random to play pile. Great to see everyone's posts so far. Sun's out!🌞

#nowplaying The voice of Charley Pride transports me back to the early 1970s when I enjoyed a pretty unrestricted childhood in Llandrindod Wells, a Mid-Wales backwater. My uncle Max would bring us a Pride LP every year he visited

#CDFriday #nowplaying Here's some albums and a couple of singles I haven't played for quite a while! Name your favourites if any @johngstyles.bsky.social @basinhead.bsky.social

#12inchtuesday Evening! The All Night version of The Killing Moon is a tad long in my view😃

#weekendsingles A few more spins after dazzling on the ice at Blenheim Palace😂

#weekendsingles HNY 2026 everyone! here's a random selection of tunes to start the weekend

#12inchtuesday Maybe not quite my salad days but I do love this Spandau song!

#weekendsingles Spent Christmas in Greenwich with my brother-in-law's family. I persuaded him to take me to Casbah Records, and to get his Depeche Mode singles out of the garage. Thin Lizzy 45 is a beauty rescued from Casbah!

#weekendsingles #nowplaying Do I really want to get Infected just before Christmas? Don't worry, I'm talking The The! @jaynemoobs.bsky.social stepped in with a spare 12 and passed on a duplicate of the LP too. Thanks again Jayne! Will sign off for now - have a good break everyone😀

#weekendsingles Here's my Sunday selection - have a good Christmas and New Year everyone. Thanks for all the superb posts throughout 2025. Special thanks once again to @jimmyviz.bsky.social for overseeing our seamless transfer from the twitters😃

#weekendsingles #adventsingles Night all!

#weekendsingles Thanks again @jnanagarbha.bsky.social for my Waitresses, it was located on a shelf in the sitting room! Random selection here - the Minder theme tune is for my bro!

#CDFriday #weekendsingles Trying to calm down after quite a week. This random selection is sure to help. U2 are up first what do I play next folks? Advice welcome!

#nowplaying #weekendsingles #albumalmanac Spinning this for my old friend @philk282.bsky.social who is partial to a slice of Sinatra. Think this was released in 1957

#adventsingles #weekendsingles I only saw the Housemartins once so I wish I'd paid better attention but I got chatting to a girl from Gloucester half way through the set. My mates were not impressed😂

#adventsingles #weekendsingles Evening!

#adventsingles #weekendsingles blondie: denis There's a blue sleeve version too if memory serves me right but I'm very happy with this one!

#12inchtuesday #weekendsingles Me and the cat are playing a few 12s. He told me this version of Think For A Minute lacks pace. I always respect his views😃

#weekendsingles Signing off with a couple of Christmas singles - and some Stranglers, inspired by @misterquartet.bsky.social who has joined us with lots of posts from his excellent collection. Thanks everyone for all your contributions and do have a great week!

#weekendsingles Back in 1980 I bought Going Underground on holiday in France, my first ever 'import' 45. Here it is showing some minor shelf wear, plus a few more from recentish trips to Naples, Seville and Brussels

@colin123.bsky.social Here's the setlist. New Age was an encore!

#nowplaying This 10p CD find was definitively my best value buy today. I know @sussexsedition.bsky.social will appreciate this as we share a love of The Singing Detective soundtrack which these guys feature on

#weekendsingles #nowplaying Glad to see record dealer Mick Melbourne at Gloucester Green in Oxford today. He sold me the Bamboo Houses 12. Then onto @riverman.bsky.social in Walton St which was packed out! I selected a fine copy of Behaviour, leaving the students to fight over the PSB 12s!

#weekendsingles Thanks @riverman.bsky.social for This Is The Day on 12 and for sourcing these tremendous Billy Bragg 45s. I love the artwork, and the songs of course!

#adventsingles #weekendsingles 'Crisis after crisis with such intensity 'This would never happen if we lived by the sea' Billy Bragg: She's Got A New Spell/Must I Paint You A Picture Bittersweet tales from the maestro!

#adventsingles #weekendsingles Day 12: Julian Cope The Greatness and Perfection of Love 'I can see the contours in your face' Tune!

#adventsingles #weekendsingles Day 10 Faith Brothers Country of the Blind Was lucky enough to see Billy Franks and his boys kick up a storm a few times in the mid 80s. Eventide and Easter Parade are a big bonus!

#adventsingles Day 10 Crowded House Not The Girl You Think You Are Peaking at #20 in 1996, this 45 came out on white vinyl. Like a lot of Neil Finn's melancholy tunes it needs repeat plays. Better Be Home Soon live on the flip is more upbeat!

#nowplaying This Frank Sinatra compilation LP from 1960 combining two albums. I much prefer Violets For Your Furs to Jeepers Creepers as you can imagine. Released on the Capitol label, this is in pretty good nick for 65 years of age. Forgot I had this one!

#12inchtuesday #weekendsingles I'm not great at themes. Hopefully this is a spirited effort!

Day 9: #adventsingles #weekendsingles Being Boring The Pet Shop Boys So hard to ignore this tune. (Getting my coat!)

#weekendsingles I have to head out soon to see a singer songwriter so will sign off with a mixed bag. Thanks everyone for joining in the 45s fun - good to see some albums too. Have a good week everyone!

#weekendsingles #albumalmanac Johnny the guy who runs The Grapes and the Oranges and Lemons in Oxford let me borrow this one. This is Them after Van Morrison left apparently. It's a bootleg that came out in 2019 and plays on 45. Odd but I like it!

#adventsingles #weekendsingles #Nowplaying my way through this Housemartins Christmas box, kindly sent to me by a friend in the days of twitter. I'll Be Your Shelter and Flag Day sounding strong
