Good morning

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!!!!

To whoever is “lucky” enough to have me in #vinylsanta I like 60-ies/70-ies hard rock, psych, garage and folk. In no particular order. Also don’t mind prog, except for ELP who I f-ing hate (I’m going to regret volunteering that info aren’t I 🤣)..

Whilst I'm always looking to buy record collections, at the moment it's a priority! Do you know anyone looking to shift their collection, or perhaps are you embracing a different format... or moving, whatever the reason. DM WhatsApp - 07455680866 Email - [email protected] Let's chat! 🌞

This evening- excited :-)

I’m sure others have said this, but that run of albums by Creedence- 7 records in 4 years is insane thinking about it. Hit after hit after hit. Unreal consistency, their final record aside

When in Germany….

This is a great psych record! Bubble puppy- gathering of promises

Recent acquisition that I’m particularly pleased with- Promo copy of Judee Sill- Heart Food ❤️

This Danish prog monster is the latest addition at Meldal towers, thrilled to finally have this! Culpeper’s Orchard, Danish original 🇩🇰

Ozzy ❤️

Slayer- fecking hell

NP- Jackal- Awake. Canadian prog!

UK first mono for £15- cover has seen better days but record is pretty clean

The wonderful Christine ❤️

NP- killer psych album from New Zealand- Human Instinct: Burning up Years

The new track from Swans- wowsers!!! 3LP pre-ordered

Well, record shopping in beautiful Trondheim 🇳🇴 was exciting 😍 Impossible to find in the UK: a Norwegian OG of Aunt Mary’s second album. Also, a US OG, still in the shrink (!!) of The Wizards from Kansas.

Now playing- Yezda Urfa- Boris. If you love over-the-top prog, this is the music for you!!

Next we have some Norwegian heavy prog on the menu- Aunt Mary: Live Reunion

Magnificent- probably my favourite album of his- Townes van Zandt- Our Mother the Mountain- US OG on Poppy 😍

This evening’s listening- The Savage Resurrection- US original

Chuffed to find this- super clean UK OG for £18 at the Malthouse in Hythe, Kent

NP- Fleetwood Mac- Then Play on. Probably my favourite Peter Green FM album. White label promo from the VOA collection ❤️

NP- Led Zeppelin II- the infamous Robert Ludwig “hot mix” Listening with headphones- feck me this sounds incredible- why have they not done a reissue of this mix…

NP- Fraction: Moon Blood- recent stunning reissue done by Riding Easy records- sounds incredible and since I don’t have £10K lying around…

NP- an absolute masterpiece- Massive Attack- Mezzanine- EU OG from 1998 ❤️

Last spin before bedtime and it’s evil Elvis himself- Danzig 🤘

NP- Norwegian prog monster- Aunt Mary- Janus. OG from Norway on Vertigo

Sleeve is a little tired and the record only a solid VG, but for £25 I’m not complaining- UK OG Swirl: The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Pressed in 1959!! And sounds like it left the pressing plant yesterday. The Folk Blues of John Lee Hooker Thanks to @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social for providing the goods once again 🌞

Such a beautiful record- up there with the very best of the Beach Boys (imo).

Picked this up from the Little Record shop- UK original- it’s a cracker! High Tide- Sea Shanties

Now playing- one of his better modern albums imo

Mogwai were effing brilliant last night. Since I stayed in London overnight it seemed rude not to go record shopping. Made my first visit to “The Little Record Shop” which was a brilliant shop, and the obligatory, wallet busting, visit to Rise Above.. Best record shop in the UK? It’s in the top 1..

Mogwai were AMAZING

This album is a banger and I won’t hear otherwise

Magnificent 💙

This arrived today- the latest release from @unspunheroes.com is an absolutely gorgeous record from Stephen Simmons. Immaculately produced, silent pressing. For fans of Townes Van Zandt and the like ❤️

NP- one of my absolute favourite recent buys- Sergeant Thunderhoof- The Ghost of Badon Hill. Super heavy, melodic metal- LOVE IT ❤️

NP- Terry Reid- such a good record ❤️

Happy New Year from Norway 🎇

Thank you to my #vinylsanta Look forward to getting these on the turntable later, especially Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway:-) Merry Christmas!

Happy Festivus everyone. Always amazed this crazy episode birthed a real celebration that seems to be enjoyed by so many around the world. So may your feats be strong and your grievances few. Enjoy.

One of those records that are just perfect for cold dark winter evenings. This one is a Japanese OG with the shrink ❤️

On the week of the 50th anniversary of his passing, this just seems like the perfect Saturday morning record ❤️

Another omega auction this morning:

It’s not quite up there with Layne Staley era Alice in Chains, but this is one hell of an album
