It’s been a busy week when I’ve felt overwhelmed by competing, urgent priorities at times. I’ll have to carry it in to the weekend too (break out the violins). But for now – gin & some Miles

Go-Feet
The Beat were the first band I saw live. The whole floor shook when everyone started dancing. So my latest vinyl acquisition was Special Beat Service which came with bonus dub album.

Oops
Was in town today and before I knew it I had ended up in Spillers Records (the oldest record shop in the world).
Set sail in turquoise days
I bought my favourite Bunnymen album online the other day. To my surprise it was a blue vinyl copy
This is what you get
Had a meeting at OU Wales today but forgot to take a pic. But did pick up this vinyl – I’ve only ever owned it on cd before, didn’t realise it was a double album.
There is a light that never goes out
I may just blip vinyl all year – today’s album, The Smiths The Queen is Dead. God I loved this album as an angst ridden teenager. Morrissey went on to become a self parody but here his lyrics were at their finest – it’s a very witty album in places despite the miserable tag.
Don’t stop
My latest vinyl (re)acquisition is The Stone Roses. I think this was the last time I was really obsessed by music. It’s worth having on vinyl because, as we discovered when a bit worse for wear in Kingston in 1990, if you play Don’t Stop backwards it is the preceding track, Waterfall.
Turntable
And here is the turntable I bought – has some ok built in speakers but connects to my Bose & sounds pretty good.
Spinning vinyl
Bought myself a turntable & picked up a couple of vinyl albums today. This means buying albums for 20 quid which I used to own. There was something lovely about reliving the experience of turning a record over, choosing a side, reading the sleeve notes, etc.
