With great sadness we share that Vince Williams passed away in the early hours of today Monday 13th October.

After a quick decline in his health, Vince was moved to the Lister Hospital on Saturday afternoon.

Vince was deeply loved and will be missed every day.

Nice to see the old @ilovealcopop.bsky.social / Art Brut t-shirt still has the power to confuse the locals. The lady in the library earlier thought it was the real deal.

I mean, it's The Time, so probably best left sealed πŸ˜‚ but the whole "Produced by Jamie Starr" thing means it'll at least get a place on the shelf.

Twelve seven inch singles. Just like gold by Aztec Camera, tears of a clown by the beat, wet dream by max Romeo, bums rush by the almost brothers, Prince charming by Adam and the ants, now that we've found love by third world, everything I own by Ken Boothe, one more minute by the chords, the sweetest thing by U2, doo wop that thing by Lauryn Hill, little women by portraits and big mouth strikes again by the smiths

The full haul from the #TipShop earlier. Bizarre to find a sealed copy of the first album by The Time among the Jim Reeves and Elvis.

Hmmm. Before I bought any tickets for a reunion show I would want assurances that they were going to be better live than they were in 1994 πŸ˜‚

I'll put in on in the car tomorrow with the family. I'm sure they'll love it.

I bought this in about 1993 from one of those adverts in the back of NME because I liked Copper Blue, Candy Apple Grey and Warehouse...

I'm not sure I've played it twice 😬

That whole "what great things has social media done for YOU?" thing.

Well for starters Pete's doing a blues thread so there's that.

Yeah they're not the longest, and two of the discs are different versions of the same album! I'm sure the gospel CDs you've gone for will be ace though.
