It's full of trampolines and soft play zones at the moment so I doubt it...!

Wonder if the cinema organ is still there?

I'm onto series 2 now, and the classic (awful) Lovejoy look of mullet, leather jacket etc. S1 Lovejoy would never have worn a teeshirt.
Other than the Venice two parter, I really liked S1

People rightly imagining this will be a disaster, but whatever happens as he switches to a new medium I’m sure he’ll still soon find his feet 🦶

I have an empty sleeve for that somewhere - when I found it it had a (not very good) Hawkwind LP inside!

Off the top of my head Rooky Ricardos in SF is meant to be good for 45s

YouTube video by Wes MASSEY Dave Bartholomew - The Monkey

Think spoken word stuff goes right back to the start of recording, sure I've heard some folk and blues stuff from the 78s era.
And R&B tracks like The Monkey were very popular in the early sound system days in Jamaica (at least one Mento version of this)

The first Sweet track I heard via a Ktel style comp my parents bought in the 80s. Was a bit disappointed when I later heard Blockbuster etc, thought this one was much better

'Transmission #3' box & a 'Transmission #4' tape pack - free to a lucky user!!!

OK people, I know it's #BandcampFriday but I found some stuff in my desk at work, so I want to give them away to a lucky bluesky user!

Please like/share and I'll add you to a list where a random will get a 'Transmission #3' box & a 'Transmission #4' tape pack

Horizon Unlimited is also really good, think Numero have recently reissued it. Never heard any of the other LPs though

Found a copy of the Ice Cube 12" recently and flipped it for 30 quid, was surprised how much it goes for

Interesting list, don't recognise #1 other than the band name, and couldn't tell you how the AC/DC or Metallica ones went.
The Ice Cube is one that while a reasonable success at the time, it's got much more popular since and so many bigger (at the time) rap hits are not on the list

And not to be confused with the American sax player Zoot Sims or the UK band leader Zoot Money of course... Lots of Zoots!

Having a decent beer like Punk IPA widely available in supermarkets, corner shops etc, was a godsend, easy to ask people to get it in for BBQs, company drinks, etc, when previously it would just have been big brand lagers

"crumble of the moment" - how frequently does it change?!

Bonus tracks/remixes are also a good choice to fill a fourth side? E.g. an demos versions the artist may have.
Need at least about 14-15 minutes per side to avoid the "having to keep getting up" annoyance...

Fairly common on dance 12s, e.g. having one track on one side at 45 and two tracks on the other side at 33.
I don't mind (no belt here!) but that the labels often don't say the speeds is annoying!

Glossy laminated LP sleeve, cover shows Hamilton, Katz and Horn standing in a Japanese garden, mostly obscured by a blurred foreground

Adding a bit of zen to your timeline this morning etc
Fred Katz, Paul Horn & The Chico Hamilton Quintet "Zen"
Charity find from last week. Only played once and not sure if a keeper yet, but has some good moments and interesting cello and bass playing from Katz and Carson Smith

🎶And at dinnertime we stopped and walked back to the house to eat

And Mama hollered out the back door y'all remember to wipe your feet

And then she said I got some news this mornin' from Port Clarence Ridge

The pissed up sex pest Terry Scott drove off the Tees Transporter Bridge🎶

Not sure about Rega, but Pro-Ject have a replacement power supply that does the 33/45 speed change to avoid having to change the belt.

Image from Discogs or rear sleeve of the Peppermint Rainbow LP - three men and two women in matching light blue and black outfits (mini dresses and Gogo boots for the women, blue slacks, black shirt and blue cravat for the men)

Oh that would have been nice!
I didn't look at the rear sleeve until I was washing it yesterday, but they were a groovy looking bunch:

Up, Bustle And Out "The Revolutionary Woman of the Windmill (La Bandolera del Molino)" / "An African Friendship (Une Amitié Africaine)" 12" on Ninjatune. Brown rough card sleeve with black handwritten print and woodcut style line drawing

Found in a charity over Xmas (how is it March already?!)
I was always a bit confused/intimidated by their name and track titles so despite a couple of comped tracks never investigated further. Think I was hoping for a friend or critic to say "check this out" and no-one ever did

Think my messing around to fix the link means this post isn't so visible in the timeline, so reposting in case no-one's seen it - curious if anyone's listened to it and has any thoughts!

Could be more recent of course, but handwritten MPO in runouts suggests 1990s (also a UK/Euro pressing), and it looks and smells fairly old. Whole thing is quite a mystery!

Bandcamp Track 4 is B-side "Reach Out And Touch". Not sure it's the exact same mix, but close enough.
Is this meant to be weird, or just a vanity project, or a bit of an outsider art Wesley Willis type scenario?
I'm starting to enjoy it anyway (but A-side is bad!)

12" record sleeve in white card with black and orange geometric shapes and the artist name "Henwa" in bamboo lettering, and the song titles "Sincerity" and "Reach Out and Touch"

Rear 12" sleeve with stylish stripes but devoid of any info except an artist photo in B&W and the track titles.

#12inchTuesday
Here's a very strange self-released one I found in a charity shop a week or two ago. Absolutely no information on the sleeve or labels, assuming 90s, or maybe late 80s, no info online except he now lives in LA and has put a few tracks (including the b-side here) on bandcamp (no sales)

Not keen on the artwork though, the cover doesn't really match the contents

LP sleeve for Prince Far I "Cry Tuff Dub Encounter Part 2"

Spent some PayPal balance on this from eBay, has turned up in lovely condition. This was the second dub album I ever heard (after Scientist Wins the World Cup) via a cheap CD of a friend's in the 90s...

YouTube video by POWWOWMIK Little Willie John - I'm Shakin'

Great track! There's another earlier release without overdubbed drums that is slightly better imo

Ignore the alt saying they are all US records, the German one on Europa is obviously German, the ringwear and bright colours confused me for a moment
