Hi all at #weekendsingles. Gotta love a Saturday posty delivery. These literally arrived at my door 5 mins ago from Joel @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social Thanks once again Joel!

I was feeling a bit disheartened after today's vinyl adventures, but something absolutely delightful was waiting for me at Brighter Day HQ. What a beautiful LP 🌞

Great wee delivery from @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social, thanks again Joel👍

I was just thinking the same thing! Cheers Joel, long way you run! 😎 @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social

Here we go! I've a boot full of empty boxes and three records to go and see today. Join me as I go find some spinning beauties... 🌞

Always a brighter day when your @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social haul arrives. Thank you Joel for an excellent service. May the vinyl gods forever be in our favour.

I'm having a lovely birthday. Thank you for your messages. I got a call about a local collection which I saw, and although not for me I ended up having a lovely long chat with Pat, who is sad to be moving into an "old people's home". She told me all about her husband who she met 57 years ago...

Delighted with my haul of records this week courtesy of Joel @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social and 2 from @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social Excellent sellers and well worth the follow. 10/10 👌🎸🎸

Today is my birthday. I went for a lovely walk in the forest, but not before a delicious breakfast with Yuri. On the way home, i bought myself a new computer game, and whilst that loads, I'm listening to some of my favourite records. This is what 46 is all about, yeah?

Here I am eight years ago, deeply unwell and edging towards a premature death. Today makes eight years since I last had an alcoholic drink. It's been tough, but I'm enormously proud of that decision and my life's direction since. Alas, my addiction to dodgy moustaches is a whole new challenge 👨

I got a call about a collection of Jazz records in East London. So I, along with one of my possee, are out to investigate.

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid. My mum took me. Such an amazing memory.

Thanks to everyone who joined me last night for the Three-for-free... never again. A day of client work awaits, but I'm spending my morning coffee time with our eight year old orchid, who has bloomed after a few years away. She's a beaut 😍

Never again....

Getting ready for the Three-for-Three in a few hours! I've 300 free records for those within the Sunday Service WhatsApp group. But keep an eye out, as Danny from @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social has given me a box of fantastic LPs to sell... you'll find some beauts. See you at 5pm!

Finding some alone time in the forest. I am absolutely by myself.

Best single of the 90s? I mean... it's gotta be up there.

I love finding promo stuff inside LPs. There's something about the soft sale of the line, "Tears for Fears ars a good English group," which is both underwhelming and yet so accurate.

Looking at some records...

These two incredible box sets landed today from Joel @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social The Beatles one is simply awesome. Absolutely delighted with both. Quick delivery and well packed as always. 10/10 👌👌

I just received a call about a collection just a few miles away, so I thought I'd go take a closer look. I'll be sure to report back 🌞

I've had my head down blasting through boxes of records pricing stuff up for Sunday Services. It's time to go through some singles and finding some bangers...

Saw this in a charity shop today - another MGM work of art

Next week I turn 46 and I just realized I lived longer than Freddie Mercury. Kinda doesn't seem fair.

How excited are you going to be when you look at up Etsy and see these prices? And here's me speaking to someone on the phone saying, "These are, unfortunately, £20/30 records,". I don't want to see the collection as their expectations are going to be astronomical. Fucking stupid.

Give me this over Volume 1 any day of the week. Don't get me wrong... there's some bangers on the first, but if you want a collection of songs, which is a masterclass in pure pop song writing, you need look no further.

Well if it has to be electronically reprocessed stereo at least let it be nearly 50 year old Japanese pressed with unique obi strip electronically reprocessed stereo. Thank you @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social

This song is pure sunshine 🌞

I salute whoever was the art director at MGM during the 50s and 60s. Their records tend to look fantastic. I rarely want to play an Ertha Kitt LP... but look at this. This I want to spin... and I shall 🌞

Thank you to the kind hearted & gentle soul that is Joel from @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social for this gift of Duran Duran 45s.

This Sunday, the Three-for-free returns! But as well as 300 free records, I've a "guest" box of records from @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social for sale. Rarities, bootlegs, and classics... you'll find something, but in the meantime, go give them a follow. More info on Sunday. Bring on the carnage 🌞

Cheers! Busy getting back to your Sunday Servixe requests. Thanks to everyone who joined me this evening. Cliff found a home.

... und die Beute sichten. (bag by @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social )

She is a beaut 🌞

Coffee, wordle, walk in the forest, lunch, wrestling, record videos for Sunday Service, share aforementioned videos, and then spend the evening taking people's requests. All whilst listening to this on repeat.

Nice extract from SURROUND SOUND in The Observer. Book out now! observer.co.uk/culture/film...

There are no preview photos for tomorrow's Sunday Service, but it's happening at 5pm as usual. I'm having a rather relaxing Saturday listening to this lunatic.

A short discogs story...

The Specials - Gangsters *A massive thank you and shout out to Joel of @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social who was giving this away and gave it a home here. Please give him a follow and check out his shop. #NowPlaying #vinylrecords #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

Some of my prize from Joel at @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social (thank you !), some charity 7” and some charity CD singles… #WeekendSingles

Saturday morning with this brilliant Duncan Browne album. This album is so up my street that it's parked in the driveway, and it's feet up watching TV with a brew in hand.

Ladies and gentlemen.... we got 'em 🌞

Another awesome, well packaged, promptly delivered haul from Joel @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social Mega chuffed as always. Best online record shop going!!

I got word James at @slabrecords.bsky.social got some special records in... and it was true. Original pressing of Nick Drake's Bryter Later, and I'm over the moon. There were loads i had to leave behind... so go nag him. It's going to be a Bryter Day indeed 🌞

I've still have many boxes of singles I need to sort, and the plan is to go through these tonight. And I'm already finding some crackers! Stick around as I'll share some highlights and likely give away some goodies... 🌞

Yay! The spoils from the @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social Sunday Service have landed. I asked Joel to give me his motherf**king Manilow and he did. IYKYK. Sign up for his vinyl flick-through on Sundays - who knows what treats you might happen upon! #Vinyl

Perfect Thursday afternoon listening....

Good morning! I'm off into Hertfordshire to see, and hopefully buy, a small collection of records. It wasn't a lot, but from what I heard it sounds right up mt street. I shall report back 🌞
