Boooom!!! Yes 🙂. I think I sourced and located the only half decent CD in Benidorm at 1 Euro from the second hand shop.

My favourite new finds

I dug out some Euro oddities from one of the second hand shops in Benidorm. One is a particularly bad album cover (intentionally I understand) praising the virtues of cellulite.

#nowplaying Got this excellent Pete Brown cd set for Christmas. Disc 1 in the player. “A Meal You Can Shake Hands With In The Dark”

Today’s find in Emmaus Mossley on the way to @glossoprecordclub.bsky.social The writing on the back clinched it. Oh and 40 CDs @ 10p each in Ashton-under-Lyne 🤑

I got a haul / eclectic mix from the fantastic Loros Vinyl Scratch shop at Clarendon park in Leicester. A particularly fantastic selextion of 70s / 80s Christian music and 80s 12 inch singles. Will post in due course. Anyone wants a listening session apply within 😃. On the Myrrh label.

Back to the serious chazza finds, priced up mind you but LP in good condition.

To think I could have bypassed the bargain 7 inch single rack at 3 for £1 if not for @beanygreen.bsky.social 😁.

What a weird pricing quirk on amazon, I've noticed this a few times now with certain genres. New vinyl being cheaper than the CD. Any comments or similar finds welcome 🤷‍♂️

#vinylsanta, I'm getting wigged out now to regain my "lost fluffiness" and imagine I was a child of the 60's! 🤒🥴. Trippy or what!? Think this will be my only snowball given I'm in work tomorrow. Thanks @vinylsanta organisers for all your hard work again this year. Have a blessed Christmas all! x

Four soul 7” singles and I don’t have any of them. All by classic artists. Thanks #VinylSanta 🤩@vinylsanta.bsky.social

Live album from the Bill Monroe bluegrass festival! I imagine many may be bemused at my haul but as a country/folk/bluegrass fan my cup runneth over. Vinyl Santa you have done an excellent job, thank you so much. Merry Christmas everyone! #vinylsanta

Fantastic selection from my #vinylsanta a wide selection indeed Looking forward to revisting Lloyd Cole and the joys of that 1970 Eurovision compilation. Amazing work whoever you are...

Ha ha! Brilliant! I haven’t got this but I’m sure it’s on my (long) list somewhere! Max Tundra production I think, isn’t it? Great, I love them. #vinylsanta is a fucking HERO. One more…

What a selection! Thanks @vinylsanta.bsky.social #vinylsanta

Great selection. Thank you to my #VinylSanta! 🎅🏻 @vinylsanta.bsky.social

Here we go with my #vinylsanta selection. Sorry for slight lateness; my trains getting to family were delayed, and then dinner was served almost immediately. An interesting selection, much of which is unknown to me. Looking forward to exploring in a few days. Thanks, Santa

#VinylSanta Fashionably late (I was eating crumbed lamb cutlets then washed my hair) Thank you to my Secret Santa! I got the following #vinylrecords Banarama Barry Manilow Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever

I have opted out of #VinylSanta this year but my local BHF served up these two beauties this morning so I am going to imagine a stranger sent them to me. Good luck to everyone participating this evening and may your parcels contain treasures that are smack bang in your wheelhouses 🎅🏻

Many thanks to this years Vinyl Santa. It always amazes me when people find records I do not have and with the “This Is My Street” album, I have been looking for a copy for ages! Happy Christmas all! #VinylSanta

Thank you #vinylsanta. It is an eclectic selection indeed! Some names I know but not heard any of these four. Never heard of Orchestre Super Moth.

It's the announcement you’ve all been waiting for! For the first time in #VinylSanta history, neither the Simons nor the Steves have claimed top spot. This year we have a tie between the Andys and the Matts. However, as one of the Matts declared as a Matthew, the Andys win on a technicality. 🎅

Very impressed with my #vinylsanta I know the singles but not heard any of the albums. Well done Santa 🙌🏼👏🏼

Some excellent research for an eclectic #vinylsanta! Thanks so much.

Second sighting of the Chas'n'Dave Xmas LP so far tonight... #VinylSanta

My Christmas tree with the gifts for my family, plus #VinylSanta gift for me and two Christmas cards from online friends Very lovely indeed

And I hadn’t noticed this message from the sender. Thank you. Thank you so much. These will bring me so much joy. Merry Christmas to my anonymous internet benefactor. #VinylSanta

Immense whoever sent this for #vinylsanta - genuinely blown away with these. Thank you xx ( Echo and the Bunnymen just out of shot ) ❤️

Top work from good ole #vinylsanta. All stone old classics and I am now finally the owner of a copy of #noparlez Also came with a lovely little card which I love 🎅 Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!!

Well, my gast is flabbered! Not only did my #VinylSanta wrap these discs beautifully, they also did their homework (Ramsey Lewis) + A fabulous 1988 copy of Choba B CCCP, a clear vinyl copy of Motown Chartbusters 3; Richie Havens on Verve & a John & Yoko 7" Thank you! 😍 @vinylsanta.bsky.social

Hey, #vinylsanta, you’ve been superb! Those singles are all brilliant, with the Simple Minds as a stand out although the Shaky not far behind. A “Nice” couple of jazz albums and the Tin Tin Duffy/Woodentops are very worthy indeed. Have a long tall glass of something tonight my friend

#VinylSanta opened. I appreciate the effort and will give everything a chance except the Tucky Buzzard, looks far too blues rocky for me. First on deck with be the Wayne Newton! Came with a nice letter on how selection was made too, so again thank you very much to my sender.

Amazing selection of records. Half Man Half Biscuit, Experimental Pop Band, New Order and others. Very generous and thanks for the notes too looking forward to listening. Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 @vinylsanta.bsky.social #vinylsanta

#NowPlaying Swansea Sound All Is Calm & wearing my party hat to unwrap my @vinylsanta.bsky.social parcel #VinylSanta

I couldn’t wait a minute longer! A BIG thank you to my #vinylsanta for a great haul. I didn’t have any of these slabs in #johnsvinyl @vinylsanta.bsky.social where should I start?

Wow. I must have been on the nice list this year!! SPOT ON picks from my mysterious and most wonderful #vinylsanta I am so grateful and rather overwhelmed to be honest 🥲 thank you, absolutely perfecto !!! Can’t wait to play them 🎄 😭 @vinylsanta.bsky.social

For most, it's Christmas Eve, but for some of us it's #vinylsanta and whoever got me sent some bangers. Look at these Ralph Records 7"s with Gary Panter artwork!

Wow, just wow, thanks #vinylsanta. I thought twice about participating this year - living with a terminal diagnosis makes all aspects of normal life a strange anxiety-ridden experience. But my wife insisted that just a little bit of normal would be beneficial. Whoever sent me this lot, thank you.

#VinylSanta time. A package full of festive tat and stuff I don’t know + post it notes. I love it! Someone knows what I like 🥳 👍🏻 Many thanks again Santa.

#VinylSanta Wow! What a brilliant and bonkers selection. The best thing is that I haven't got any of these. Thank you, kind stranger, may your Christmas be a lovely one.

Absolutely blown away by this year's #vinylsanta. Such a generous package and some absolute belters. The Wonder Stuff, The Chemical Brothers, Pet Shop Boys, Roxy Music, Jean Michelle Jarre, Vangelis, Mark Hopkins, a couple of compilations and the rest. Really made up with this haul. Thank you!

Some 12s #vinylsanta

Some LPs #vinylsanta

That Fourheads in a fishtank looks very interesting!

#VinylSanta, a nice mixed bag, the hip hop comp has some cool tracks

A lovely haul this year from my #vinylsanta @vinylsanta.bsky.social Someone has really looked at my posts and found things that I will enjoy exploring. Many thanks to my Vinyl Santa, and Happy Christmas to everyone who takes part in this every year 🎅

Truly amazing set of records from #vinylsanta @vinylsanta.bsky.social so much care and thought went into these selections and hit my taste just right. Feeling very grateful to Santa and now the Christmas music is being turned off for some blues 😁 thanks Santa

Trending! #vinylsanta
