Dave C

This is great. I’ve never seen anything on Object Recordings other than a few Spherical Objects LP’s and singles, which I have. Added to my wants list and will be keeping an eye out for it.

Visitors - Compatibility, Rational Records, c.1981

#adventsingles day 9

The Visitors have been on my wants list forever, so I was really happy to have picked up this absolute gem this year. Just their other two 7”s to track down now.

Comsat Angels - Red Planet, Junta records, c.1978

#adventsingles day 8

One I was very pleased to find this year

Great band. Short-lived but every release is a cracker

Raincoats ❤️

Vice Squad - Resurrection EP, Riot City records, c.1981

#adventsingles day 7

Not new to me this year, but one I sold years ago and replaced this year, actually stood the test of time better than I’d have thought

Vice Squad - Resurrection EP, Riot City records, c.1981

4 points from the last 9, of which I really though we’d get none. Hopefully this is the turning point in our season and we can play as well against the lesser clubs

Absolute banger 💥

Four 7” singles by Cast

First four 7”s by Cast #weekendsingles #musicsky #vinylsky #vinyl #cast
Picture is a bit wonky I’m afraid as I might have had a beer or two watching the mighty Leeds on the TV

Saw them play this live earlier this year - top gig

Want want want

Gen X - Dancing With Myself, 7” single

#adventsingles day 6

Inexplicably harder to find than their earlier releases, I finally found a copy out in the wild this year

Gen X - Dancing With Myself

#weekendsingles #musicsky #vinylsky #vinyl

To Each is wonderful

Don’t know Say She She but it was on one of my kids’ xmas lists, so I’ll take your recommendation as a double validation 😊

Meat Whiplash 💥

Pretty sure you won’t regret it

my favourite album of 2025 The Tubs - Cotton Crown It’s like Bob Mould meets Richard Thompson.

I normally overlook the monthly #albumalmanac part of #weekendsingles so am participating this weekend with my favourite album of 2025

The Tubs - Cotton Crown

It’s like Bob Mould meets Richard Thompson.

#musicsky #vinylsky #music #vinyl

Will also post some singles later in the day, no doubt.

I missed them at the time so pick up anything by them I find out in the wild

Essential Logic - Wake Up, Virgin records, c.1979

#adventsingles day 5

Another 2025 find: Essential Logic - Wake Up, Virgin records, c.1979
#musicsky #vinylsky #vinyl #essentiallogic

A classic

The Users - Sick of You, 7” vinyl

#adventsingles day 4

Picked this up in that London yesterday. Bit disappointed when I got home to discover it’s a reissue, but nice nevertheless #vinylsky #musicsky #vinyl #theusers

The holy grail of Wire 7”s

Classic

Family Fodder - Savoir Faire

#adventsingles day 3
Another new one for me in 2025

Family Fodder - Savoir Faire, this is a Belgium version I believe

#vinylsky #musicsky #vinyl #familyfodder

Depeche Mode - Stripped 12” single

In all the advent related singles posts I almost forgot it was also #12InchTuesday so here’s probably my favourite Depeche Mode 12”

That the one with “Baby Please Don’t Go” on the b-side? Cracking song.

Nice. I’m seeing him twice next year.

Nice - not sure I know that one

The whole Zounds back catalogue is pretty hard to find these days, at least at reasonable prices anyway
