The Vinyl Constituency

Photo showing thee John Barry CD box and cover sitting on top of my turntable.

I’m having a late evening coffee (decaf) and a biscuit while listening to the John Barry compilation CD ‘The More Things Change (Film, TV & Studio Work 1968-1972)’ and trying not to think about work tomorrow.

Or too much Clay Pipe!

That’s good news then! I’m now patiently waiting for the Dinked Edition to rock on up. Or fusion jazz on up!

I hope it was dry, Phil!

Did it sell out before you could snag one?

Photo showing the two albums side by side, with postcard set and pin badge.

Photo showing pin badge close up round metal, with a bird perched on a flower and the words “private symphony #2” going around one third of the edge.

‘Irreparable Parables’ and its companion piece ‘Inundated Indentations’, both by @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social on @claypipemusic.bsky.social have arrived.

Sadly no CD in the bundle so I gave that a miss, but the new badge is present and correct.

Dinked Edition from Monorail is pending!

Stools. #TOTP

Saxon always understood the assignment.

My copy of the @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K release of the fantastic 1973 sci-fi Western ‘Westworld’ arrived today! 😀👏🏻

I saw this as part of Frightfest at the Glasgow Film Theatre that year. I think I might actually have nodded off. I must have been tyred.

#Nowwatching the 1974 made for TV science-fiction horror movie ‘Killdozer’.

Let’s be honest, this was a preposterous concept at the time, but eminently sensible in comparison with more contemporary bafflements like ‘Sharknado’. 🤷🏻‍♂️

😂 I think it speaks for the variety of music across all of the albums that they could easily all be favourites.

Not sure if I’m right here but I recall one of their albums being very different - possibly ‘In Through The Out Door’?

I need to dig all of these out. It’s been a long time.

What do you think their best album was? I’m constantly stuck between the third and fourth albums, but, by my own admission, I’m a total folktard.

Diptic app!

The first VHS video cassette I bought.

I was 11 and in Glasgow with my Nana to buy new trainers. I lifted £25 from my account and deliberately bought the cheapest shoes I could find, leaving me with £10 to buy ‘Death to the Daleks’ in Lewis’s, Argyle Street.

That’s what started all this nonsense.👇🏻

Photo is a six image compilation of the opening title, part of the film poster, and four images from the film.

#Nowwatching Jeffrey Bloom’s 1980 #horrorfilm ‘Blood Beach’, starring David Huffman, John Saxon, and Marianna Hill.

#Soundtrack by Gil Mellé.

Absolutely.

The new Altin Gün album - ‘Garip’ arrived today and it’s #nowplaying and sounding AMAZING. 🙌🏻🔥👇🏻

The Audition.

F*ck ever watching that again.

I’m trying to improve my mood with 12 sides rapid.

#Nowplaying these late entries for #weekendsingles!👇🏻

FFS - ‘Alegría’, not ‘Algeria’. 🤪🤷🏻‍♂️

What a BANGER of a 7” single - ‘Algería’ by Elia Y Elizabeth, and ‘Soy Una Nube’ by Single. Brilliant! ♥️🙌🏻😀👇🏻

Morning #weekendsingles folks!

I’m continuing with the audit of all my 7” singles and #nowplaying ‘Cinevox 5’, released for RSD 2015 and featuring music from the likes of Morricone, Goblin, and Umiliani.

Kenny Rogers.

I really wish he wouldn’t, but you can’t have everything.

#TOTP

This edition of #TOTP has fallen off a Cliff.

It’s a disturbing watch, to be honest.

It’s the power of the McCutcheon vocal. Always blows me away.

It’s so great to see a clip of Buggles singing ‘The Plastic Age’, rather than ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’.

LOVE! ♥️

I simply don’t have the energy anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Turns #TotP on, turns #TotP off.
