This story has made me so happy, it’s got all the perfect elements, the obscurity, the collector, the helpful shop manager, the sign, the shoelaces!! What a dream 😍
Off to Stirling Oxfam to check if they also have a copy of Falling & Laughing… #WeekendSingles

Here's a playlist of the NME's best singles of 1991. It's mixed bag of bangers and clangers, but that's why they invented the ⏩ button

I've just realised I was only counting the first photo! 🤦♂️
I've got about 60 across both pics, but not all in those sleeves.
I haven't visited Hidden Sounds yet, but it looks interesting
Stranger Than Paradise is cool.
Down around Brick Lane, there's Rough Trade, World of Echo and Flashback
Idle Moments on Columbia Road for Japanese pressings (and natural wines). Plus there's the flower market on Sunday mornings.
Yo-Yo and Love Vinyl are good for soul, disco, jazz, funk
Thanks - we're looking forward to a busy few days - Andrew Wasylyk on Thursday and then Balloon on both Friday and Saturday! Hope you have really great time with Jens too.
I've mentioned the before - it was produced by Joe Blocker who has had an interesting career, from playing drums with the likes of Gil Scott-Heron and Arthur Lee, through to creating my fave exercise record
No - only on vinyl. I have it on a UK 7" with this sleeve. It hasn't been on any official compilations
Ha! I looked at this the other day. I can't match your 28. I think I only have around 22 in those sleeves, plus another 7 or so without pic sleeves.
Yes - love that single. Must dig it out
Some more contact sheets from Neneh Cherry’s 1988 photoshoot with Judy Blame and Jean-Baptiste Mondino for the Raw Like Sushi sleeve
A pleasure. Hope you have a lovely time
Some decent galleries - Linden Hall Studio, Taylor-Jones & Sons and Don't Walk Walk.
Smugglers is a relaxed pub and record shop combined. The Lighthouse is a lovely music/arts pub that has a few things on this week (including the excellent Slim Chance on Thurs)

If you’re around at the weekend, then there’s the Saturday morning market
Forgot to mention Jenkins & Sons for lunch
For things to see, there’s the raw Deal Castle or the refined Walmer Castle with its lovely gardens.
You can walk south along the beach to the Zetland Arms in Kingsdown. Or walk north between the golf course and sea to the strange Sandwich Bay Estate
Lunch
Set lunch at The Rose
Pasta specials at The Sicilian
The Pop Up Cafe
Deal Pier Kitchen
Dinner
The Blue Pelican
Scout Pizza at Deal Hoy
Middle Street Fish Bar
Soul Chef at The Port Arms
Prince Albert
It’s another fabulous Tina Tuesday!
Neneh Cherry’s 1988 photoshoot by Judy Blame and Jean-Baptiste Mondino for the Raw Like Sushi sleeve. These contact sheets were displayed at the ICA 10 years ago
Love this! And here's my face when he turns over the Pharoah Sanders album 😮
(I think Jiggs Chase had left Sugarhill to work with Bobby O by the time of White Lines, but I'm 99% sure it's Jiggs playing the ascending synth on The Message)
Happy birthday to Neneh Cherry. Here's Buffalo Stance filmed in Berlin for The Other Side of Midnight in 1988

Bit before my time in Birmingham, but someone else had tracked it down 👍🏻
