I'm afraid I turned out the light after posting Andrew. I saw you played the marvellous Watertown. But you couldn't go wrong with either of those!

Back to work tomorrow after a lovely week off.

Peppermint Pig by Cocteau Twins playing on a Audio-Technica turntable

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Another immense sounding record. A classic.

Echoes In Shallow Bay EP by Cocteau Twins playing on a Audio-Technica turntable.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Another Bedsit record. Sounding probably the best I've ever heard it. As I'm using a half-decent HiFi and not my (quite good for the time) Sony Midi system I had back in the day.

Lullabies by Cocteau Twins playing on a Audio-Technica turntable.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky I'm now cleaning what I call my 'Bedsit' records. Stuff that kept me going between 1983-1988 when I was in my shabby £22pw Worthing bedsit. Music from about 78 until 88. I've kept them separate for some reason. This is a cracking record to start with #Humminguru

If I didn't want to be branded a pedophile I wouldn't hang around with a load of pedophiles.

What's Saturn like?

The 'on the radio' bit is interesting, is that why on radio request shows (I'm looking at you Greatest Hits Radio) people choose the same old stuff they always play. Or is it, as I probably think, the limited playlists of these stations?

Blimey! I apologise for my facetiousness.

I just shopped in Sainsburys with Miles Davis.

I saw Bolam in Sainsbury's car park a couple of years ago when I was delivering there. He looked pleasingly grumpy. And scruffy.

See also The Likely Lads film.

Those Original Album series are getting rarer and more expensive. I've noticed the price rising in the last year or so. I regularly see them £40/50/60. So was extra pleased to get a Jefferson Airplane one for £20 yesterday. Buy them if you see them cheap!

I Know Where I'm Going! Romantic drama. An ambitious middle-class woman is marooned on the Isle of Mull en route to her wedding, and falls in love with the Laird of Kiloran.

Car boot rained off this morning so #NowWatching From the titles onward this is an absolute delight.

TRIP To The Fair!

Scheherazade and other stories by Renaissance playing on a Audio-Technica turntable.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky I bought this because of the opening track 'Trio To The Fair' which I think is stupendous. And it was a quarter of the price I saw a copy earlier this week!

Islands by King Crimson playing on a Audio-Technica turntable.

Yes. And it was so easy to correct. Just use thicker card for the box. An extra few pennies per box. Very slapdash.

In addition to today's record fair shenanigans the postie had put these in our safe place when we got home. The music will be fantastic I'm sure but the packaging on the Miles Davis box is abysmal. The card used is far too thin. A shame.

The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion by The Incredible String Band playing on a Audio-Technica turntable.

Garibaldis are a good call. Jo calls them dead fly biscuits.

Some of their stuff is more Prog than Punk. But as we all know now, plenty of the 76/77 lot liked things that they weren't supposed to like at the time.

Thank you, I've been lucky on this holiday. But that's it for a while. Back driving the highways and byways of the South Downs with letters and parcels next week.

As the holiday draws to a close, one last record fair fling before the wallet slams shut for a few weeks. And I start saving again! A lovely fair in Southampton, which I find really good value. Some fantastic finds.

I wonder if Eric mentioned to him that he thought 'Enoch was right'?

I don't have enough Slapp Happy. But we are off to a record fair this morning and I will try to rectify that.

I'm ahead of you! Thank you for thinking of me though. It looks fantastic.

Peter Brough and Archie Andrews?
