#WeekendSingles After all these years I'm still simply thrilled by 45s. Do pile on at the weekend if you fancy it. For those who know enough said and for those who don't why not give it a try? Check that shoebox under the stairs and you will find a copy of Dancing In The City and further delights!

#CDFriday Here's today's random listening selections - have a good Friday everyone!

#NowPlaying #last4albums and a bargain bin classic Imperial Bedroom fascinated me back in '82. Surely in everyone's Costello albums top five? Mind you why limit it to five? I need a top 10 minimum otherwise I'm leaving out favourites I can't leave out!

#12inchtuesday Finally made it to the record deck. I hope you're happy now!

#weekendsingles Signing off now to re-file all my doublepacks. Thanks @jimmyviz.bsky.social and @gerardojoseph.bsky.social for leading us out and thanks everyone for all the excellent posts. Have a good week!

#weekendsingles Playing some doublepacks and a couple of gatefolds featuring booklets following a request from @gerardojoseph.bsky.social. My Castles In The Air doublepack is hiding!

#NowPlaying #last4albums and a charity shop classic

#weekendsingles Afternoon set. Sun's gone again!

#weekendsingles Morning! Completed one lap of parkrun and had a new secondhand piano delivered. Recovering with a few tunes!😃

#NowPlaying Picked a few CDs out of my shed stash. Pleased to have relocated the Bowie 2CD which is a really good comp I reckon. I found the Costello rarities called Smile in a record shop in Bath a while back. Exile sounds like a crazy party - haven't played it for ages!

#NowPlaying #elviscostello Stumbled across a stash of Elvis Costello CD singles in a brilliant British Heart Foundation shop in Oxford and now I can't stop playing Basement Kiss. How many of his top tunes were tucked away on CD singles?

#last4albums & a bargain bin classic The US version of Armed Forces dumps Sunday's Best and replaces it with What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding - a Costello favourite for a late set number/encore. Fair exchange no robbery!

#weekendsingles Thanks @jimmyviz.bsky.social for kicking us off and thanks to everyone for taking the time to post this weekend. Catch you during the week!

#weekendsingles Here's a few from the archive. Have a great Sunday everyone!

#weekendsingles A few '80s chart hits among my selections!

#CDFriday ELO greatest hits absolutely smashing it!

#last4albums & a charity shop find Very grateful to @dtate0007.bsky.social for posting lots of fantastic singles this week as part of some list thing including She's So Modern which reminded me that it was time to Do The 🐀 ! Definitely my favourite band when I was 10. Tonic For The Troops is gold!

#weekendsingles #12inchtuesday A little late to the turntable tonight - I do love a 12 when I see a tune I like. Never had any 12s when I was a kid!

#last4albums The River The Cutter Police singles Virgins and Philistines Charity shop classic: Evita

#weekendsingles #albumalmanac Time to sign off with some Bob Dylan albums before I head into town. Thanks Jimmy for the TLC and thanks everyone for the fab posts. Have a good week!

#weekendsingles Morning. Woke up dreaming of marmalade - and singles of course. Here's my latest selection lined up for the portable so I can play them for breakfast. Maybe some Jam later!

#weekendsingles #autumnalmanac Four more LPs from the vaults; all featuring 45s I'm very fond of! *the albums hashtag is incorrect😂

#weekendsingles Random picks including a smashing reissue of Because The Night kindly sent to me by @jnanagarbha.bsky.social a legend of these pastures!

#weekendsingles #albumalmanac Here's four long players from my childhood days that still bring me a lot of joy! Some 45s later chaps😃

#weekendsingles Thanks so much @jnanagarbha.bsky.social for sending me your spare copy of Because The Night, the 1983 reissue with Gloria on the flip. It arrived just a week after I spotted the 1978 original (UK) release in an Oxfam music shop in Edinburgh!

Just played my lad Waiting On A Friend and he hit back with Wild Horses. #myworkisdone😂

#12inchtuesday Back in England and delighted to be spinning some 12s on this inclement Tuesday! Now where's my September Song?

#weekendsingles 'My head is saying fool forget it, my heart is saying don't let go'. A dilemma I know all too well when I'm out digging! Smashing posts everyone, I'm signing off now from a picturesque former prisoner of war camp in Scotland before I travel back tomorrow

#weekendsingles Imagine my face when I found Sylvia's antiques shop in Comrie packed with old vinyl! Some of these are from Edinburgh

#weekendsingles A⚡stop in Edinburgh before heading out to Perthshire. Oxfam music shop in Stockbridge village and Avalanche Records next to Waverley station offered some interesting finds. Very friendly staff in Oxfam

#NowPlaying Finally cooled down enough for me to play some records!

#weekendsingles Back from Stratford where SJ Records rules the roost from the top of an antiques centre in Henley St. An American guy and his son run rammed units opposite each other. The son handles the good stuff - but a lot of it isn't priced! Picked up some fun tunes in Stratford and Woodstock

#weekendsingles I'm away for a break but I'm hoping to find some old gold in Stratford later. Have a great weekend!

#NowPlaying Andy @riverman.bsky.social introduced me to Joan Baez singing Dylan. Love Is Just A Four Letter Word was a song Bob gave to Joan. Just one of many highlights on Any Day Now, a wonderful double album on Vanguard, released I think in '68

#12inchtuesday Crystal is a £2 charity shop find but it doesn't sound like New Order to me - too much doof doof!

#weekendsingles Thanks @gerardojoseph.bsky.social and @richwatson.bsky.social for leading us out this weekend - lots of super posts and good chat. Catch you all soon - have a good week!

#weekendsingles Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates.. Enjoy the sunshine!

#weekendsingles Afternoon selection. I really like this Dylan 45!

#WeekendSingles Here's some I was playing last night plus a few more. Have a good weekend everyone!

Is it #CDFriday?! Unbelievable Truth were and still are a great band

#12inchtuesday Yeah I know I missed it! Here's a few I'm spinning now including a rather well loved 50p Groove Is In The Heart from @riverman.bsky.social which plays clean as a whistle, plus a yellow Do The Right Thing to add to my green one

#NowPlaying Picked out these CDs for @johngstyles.bsky.social and @basinhead.bsky.social I know they still play CDs. Take it easy guys - I can recommend the Doo-Wop!

#WeekendSingles Some interesting Bowie chat this weekend - thanks to all the experts for jumping in. Great to see everyone's posts - have a good week!

#weekendsingles Playing a few 12s after @shirleystrange.bsky.social posted a new version of Slow Emotion Replay. Top tune thanks Shirley!

#weekendsingles #NowPlaying A little late to the singles party today - parkrun and a worship session in the market place but maybe that's tmi! Here's some mid-afternoon tunes I'm going to play outside on the portable with a Darjeeling. Super posts so far!😍

#NowPlaying #NowSpinning A few fun finds to start the weekend including a £3 copy of Robert Forster's Danger In The Past which I found in Antiques On High in Oxford. The Waterfront 12 was pulled out of a charity shop in St Clements

#weekendsingles Asked a guy at the Oxfam stall at the Wilderness festival if he had any records. He brought me a box from behind the tent with 16 Lovers Lane in it and let me have it for 16. There were a few 45s which got left behind!

#weekendsingles That violin bit at the end of Soft As Your Face!

#weekendsingles No time for albums today but I have played my Cattle and Cane

I'm always reluctant to join in 'the last four albums you played' because the posts always seem cooler than anything I could ever dream of. I can watch and learn I guess! @johngstyles.bsky.social @cdburt4.bsky.social @colin123.bsky.social @philk282.bsky.social @jacklondonexile.bsky.social
