I've had my head stuck in a big collection pricing it up all week. I've just a couple of boxes left before I chill out for the rest of the weekend. Yuri and I are off to see the Mandalorian film later, and I saw Backrooms a couple of days ago. The cinema twice in a week. What a treat!

Another monthly Sunday Service haul from Joel aka @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social Cheers dude, looking forward to spinning these. #vinylisawayoflife #maythevinylgodsforeverbeinyourfavor

Delighted with my latest delivery from Joel @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social All as described and packaged perfectly as usual. 10/10 service. 👌🎸🎸

Another quality consignment from the legend that is Joel @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social I was somewhat surprised that I was able to snaffle the Okeh compilation, I thought some aging soul boy ,would have been ahead of me in the queue Thanks Joel

🐍

Some decent stuff at Cancer Research Loughton if abyone is local and fancies a browse. All reasonably priced.

Okay... does anyone here use WhatNot to buy (or even sell) records? I'm having a look as the lovely @thebetterdog.bsky.social are selling this evening and it appears to be fascinating.

Thanks to everyone who settled up after this weekend's Sunday Service. These are leaving a day later than usual as spent most of the day doing something rather fun which will be shared in a few weeks time! No Service this weekend so if you have something on the shelf, let's settle up 🌞

El Grande Americano vs Original El Grande Americano Mask vs Mask match at Lucha Libre AAA's Noches de Los Grandes, may be gibberish to 99% of you reading this. So this message is to that 1%... Absolute fucking cinema.

The Sunday Service is happening tonight at 5pm (it moves to 7pm in a fortnight). Sorry there were no preview photos but was tackling the garden.

“Ex-squeeze me? Baking powder?”

After a week of putting everything else to one side and focusing on cleaning, grading and pricing... it is with great relief to say my offer on this huge collection I picked up last week has been accepted. The shelves are now heaving with some amazing records Sunday Service bound!

Some gorgeous Kate Bush rarities in this huge collection I've been pricing up all week. Never For Ever LP with bio and photos and a Canadian pressing of the Kick Inside with alternative sleeve artwork. I so very hope they accept my offer..... 🤞

I'm smiling as Yuri was making faces at me whilst I took the selfie! I got a call about a big jazz collection. I'm on my way to Harlow!

I have at least three interactions like this a day...

I've a couple of hours between clients so going to see a collection 15 minutes away after someone called to say their father passed away leaving many hundreds of records. I dont know much else, but I'll keep you updated.

Morning... a day of pricing in-between client work moved from bank holiday Monday ahead.

You've not had a selfie of me in the car for at least two days. Well here's another as I'm off to pick up some records to price up. I've warned the owner of the collection that I'm wearing shorts. Feels the decent thing to do.

T shirt weather...

Toasty...

Bank holiday pricing up records... lots of records 🌞

I'm changing the time of the Sunday Service to 7pm. From 14th June the Sunday Service will be at 7pm, two hours later from it's usual 5pm slot. It's summer... go eat ice cream. I may change it back to 5pm in the winter months, but let's play it by ear. 5pm this Sunday as normal (31st May)

I've avoided the scores all day (and currently ignoring WhatsApp... so apologies if you've sent a late request from tonight's Service). Reply in a gif how happy or sad I'm going to be as a Spurs after watching tonight's MOTD. I'm putting the phone out of reach until I've seen it.... I'm scared.

Having a Sunday Service at the same time as the last footy games of the season isn't a great idea, but i promise you... I've some fucking ace records today. It's never too late to send in requests...

I was strolling past my local toy emporium today and saw this. Now I know who it is supposed to be, but surely...?! 🤔🤣

No preview photos for tomorrow's Sunday Service as I'm not that long in from my vinyl adventures today. Thats a lot of lifting in a lot of heat 🥵 But the Sunday Service is tomorrow at 5pm. Message if you want to join blah blah blah...

It's early and already lovely and sunny here in Frinton on Sea. After a relaxing evening staying at my parents I'm seeing two collections. Tag along!

Before a fan of any football club, I’m a Londoner. And I’ve found myself smiling broadly at the response to Arsenal winning the Premier League. I can put club loyalties to one side and appreciate people coming together to celebrate in a city that, too often, finds itself hosting division instead.

@brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social thanks Joel, all arrived safely today - must start with the sublime Miss Denny first.

This week has been a bit... a bit... well let me put it this way. I'm listening to The Sisters.

Nice piece in the Oxford Mail about the current state of play with the shop. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2611781...

You gotta hand it to the kid... "North London Forever, Whatever the weather" It is both an appalling and a spellbindingly brilliant lyric. Music is a funny old thing.

I don't go to many gigs. Two decades in the music industry kinda killed it for me. But I'm not going to turn down a chance to see The Gathering, who are fronted once again by Anneke van Giersbergen. As good as when I first saw them in '99.

I was getting stuck into some pricing when I got a call about a collection 30 minutes drive away. About a hundred jazz and funk LPs. I mean... youre going to take a closer look aren't you!?

The Sunday Service returne tomorrow at 5pm. I have 305 records for sale. For information or to join, WhatsApp me - 07455680866 150x LPs 100x Singles 50x £6⬇️ LPs Five in the Confessions Box Look at the pics below and WhatsApp with any early requests 🌞

Proper "the weekend is about to begin" listening!

I've not spun this for a while. Her debut didn't do much for me at all. But this album... utterly spellbinding. If this looks new to you, it's the Joanna Newsome album entitled Ys. ...and I recommend it highly 🌞

Afternoon coffee activity as I take a break from pricing up records...

The boxes of "i need to deal with this later" records have steadily piled up and today I begin to tackle them. I'll share anything interesting i find along the way.

Record collecting. A disease like no other....

"BLOW WAYNE, BLOW!"

Yes... it's a picture of a middle aged man in a car with empty record boxes behind him. I'm off to see a collection that has huge potential. I shall report back...

I'm helping a neighbour shift this selection of Queen (and Queen related [ignore Steps]) VHS tapes. They're open to offers (I'm not taking a cut!). If interested drop me a WhatsApp. 07455 680 866 🌞

Me this Sunday...

Well the string on my garden streaming keeps getting snagged, so a call about a collection 20 minutes away is a welcome distraction...
