First two batches are from a record fair in New Ross 22 June. Major surprise to see one in the town. And on a weekend that I happened to be visiting the parents.
Steeleye Span - Hark! The Village Wait LP
Steeleye Span - Please To See The King LP
Steeleye Span - Ten Man Mop Or Mr Reservoir Butler Rides Again LP
Familiar with all of these through various CD editions, nice to pick up EX copies on vinyl. Hark! is the US Chrysalis edition while the other two are reissues on the Mooncrest label. Favourite of the two Blacksmith versions is on Please...
Cheviot Ranters - Cheviot Barn Dance LP
1974 release on Topic. Third album of theirs. More fine rural dance in the same vein of its two predecessors. NM-
Various - Listen Here! A Transatlantic Sampler LP
Decent comp, ends nicely with The Purple Gang's Granny Takes A Trip. EX.
Scott Walker - The Moviegoer LP
Contour repress. A spare for future trades. EX
Clannad - Clannad 2 LP
Second outing for Donegal's finest. On Gael Linn and sounds far better than their dodgy descent into faux mysticism post 1980. VG+
All the rest are from my excursion to Manchester. Just got back yesterday and regretted not bringing a record bag.
Various - The Story Of Folk Into Rock 4xLP box
Finally get hold of this seminal comp - with a booklet. Great nick. From Kingbee.
Various - Chocolate Soup For Diabetics Volume 2 LP
The one that starts with the double whammey of Mike Stuart Span and Wimple Winch. I need to keep going and stop neglecting the rest.
Rutles - The Rutles LP
Decent nick. Always great fun and another CD upgrade.
Jimmy Smith - Monster: The Incredible Jimmy Smith LP
Stereo Verve. Gloomy Man is the highlight so far.
Bonnie Kolac - You're Gonna Love Yourself In The Morning LP
Heard BK through Folk Is A Four Letter Word and Bearded Ladies comps. So wanted more and took a chance on this. On first listen - YES. Where should I go next?
Various - On The Road Again: Rock's New Frontiers 1966 - 1970 LP
Various - Doo Pah Poo Ooh: Early Sixties Soul 1960 - 1965 LP
Various - Good Vibrations: Sounds Of Top 40 Radio 1964 - 1967 LP
Three instalments in this Capitol comp series from the early 80s. Worth the couple of quid each. Assortment of tracks - just flicked so far and enjoying Cher's Bang Bang, John Stewart's Big Joe and Ernie K-Doe's A Certain Girl.
The Horace Silver Quintet - Serenade To A Soul Sister LP
Decent stereo pressing. Great hard bop.
Seán O'Riada - Mise Eire LP
Seán O'Riada - O'Riada LP
Seán O'Riada - O'Riada Sa Gaiety LP
Very hard to find NM copies of these here. Got them at the record fair in Manc's New Century House. Bloke sourced them from a German.
The Doors - 13 LP
Useful contemporary comp. First time ever finding an unbattered copy.
Family - Best Of LP
Love Entertainment so have picked this next.
Gary McFarland And Co - Does The Sun Really Shine On The Moon? LP
Pleasant listen. Up, Up and Away brings things to a mellow close.
Various - The Best Of British Folk LP
Contour comp of old reliables. The John James track is a revalation.
Pat Williams - Shades Of Today LP
Stereo Verve. Nice arrangements - particularly Eleanor Rigby and the piano of King Porter Stomp.
These four from the 30p box.
Various - Grecian Summer LP
Rediffusion comp. All instrumental which is a pity but it's not bad.
Johnny Pearson And His Orchestra - Sleepy Shores LP
Not tackled this yet. Only know the title track.
James Last - Olé LP
Brazil rules.
Mike Sammes Singers - And I Love You So LP
From 1974. Unusual takes of American Trilogy and Twelfth Of Never.
Max Boyce - The World Of LP
Not yet.
Burt Bacharach - Living Together LP
Favourite solo work of his. I Come To You is ace.
Various - The Guitar Player: An Album Of Contemporary Styles By Modern Masters 2xLP
Saw this in Oxfam. Decent sounding sampler with fairly intricate arrangements from the likes of BB King and Irving Ashby/John Collins.
Sansar Chakra - Gujarati LP
Bollywood soundtrack from 1978. Titles in Hindu so no idea of song titles or even if I've got the name right. Second song on side one is perfectly sung with a great melody.
Brian Bennett Band - Rock Dreams LP
Not as bad as I've read about. Farewell To A Friend is plaintive while Drum Odyssey has 'breaks'.
Sammy Davis Jr. - Now!
The one with Candyman and John Shaft. Remainder is foot-tappingly good.
Various - Lights Out: San Francisco. Voco Presents The Soul Of The Bay Area 2xLP
Score of the weekend I think. Blue Thumb OG in EX condition with appropriate brown sticker over Tower Of Power - concealing their name at the insistence of Warners who subsequently signed 'em.
Diverse double album of soul, jazz, funk, horns, Indian vibes produced by Abe 'Voco' Keshishian. John Lee Hooker sings on the title track, Sylvester does a cool version of Leonard Cohen's Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye while Tower Of Power steal the show with Mahdi.
Lalo Schifrin - Ché OST LP
Polydor issue of one of his best soundtracks.
Genesis - Seconds Out 2xLP
1977 live album. Collins makes a good fist of Supper's Ready which takes up the entire side 3.
Fairport Convention - The History Of Fairport Convention 2xLP
Decent overview to Babbacombe Lee. Comes with decent booklet and in EX condition.
James Last - Guitars A GoGo LP
For me, this is up there with Well Keep Secret, Hair and Voodoo Party. Storming Johnny Guitar plus lots of other goodies.
Various - Bumpers 2xLP
1970 Island double album sampler. Pink label. Nick Drake, Traffic, Tull, Fotheringay. Solid stuff.
Kinks - Everybody's In Showbiz 2xLP
Canadian pressing. Already own the CD but understand there are some significant variances on the vinyl.
Quincy Jones - How To Steal A Diamond OST LP
aka The Hot Rock. 1972. Another winning score from Q.
Kinks - Arthur...Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire LP
US stereo pressing on Reprise. VG. A little quiet but sounds good. Probably my second favourite 60s Kinks behind Village Green.
Just as well I have another week off work so I can get through that lot.
