OK Bill - This one's gonna trump that lot

At last I have an original release copy of the Quo's Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon

One of two "little gem" eBay finds this week.
After a Steam Clean it's pretty much perfect - all for the princely sum of 99 of our British Pennies (OK plus a couple of quid P&P)

Am very pleased to have this long sought LP in the collection.

All I need now is the 2nd Album "Spare Parts" - These are like Rocking Horse Doo-Dah!

Very impressive. I got hooked on the Quo when I watched the Live Aid DVD. Any recommendations on must have Quo albums.

Thanks

You sir, are simply amazing. I've never heard of 75% of these records/artists. A couple sound like jazz or classical which means they would never find their way to my turntable.

Come on Laura only 5 jazz titles of 18 lps

That means there are 5 titles that will never find my record shelves let alone my turntable.

Maybe you could search out a good hypnotist

Ooohh! Tricky one.
Personally I like the transitional period between 60's pop/rock to 70's blues/rock

My 18 year old is off the Michigan State University this year. I am establishing new ties in town.

What? This place CLOSES AT 5!!!!! Before I even got there??

So I dropped some coin at Flat, Black and Circular in East Lansing. You might rightfully ask, "what's in the bag, Biz???"

Let's face it. We've been looking at the pumpkinlist lately and crying "I am not worthy!" So today I present orthobiz's challenge: (all shot in a hotel room with waning sunlight on my iPhone)

First, the new:

SRC, really an old album, but a reissue. I've been looking for a cleaner copy of the second album, Milestones by them which is a new found B-grade psych instant classic.

Next, the near-new:
Barely used Elvis Costello album, I'm seeing him next week and haven't heard any of it yet (shame on me).

With inspiration from pumpkin, three from the dollar bin:

Tumbleweed Gatefold, Rainbow label

A Passion Play, gatefold but a newer Chrysalis label. I saw this concert at Madison Square Garden but somehow bought Thick As A Brick but not this one...

Gruppo Sportivo, Mistakes, a promo but not a white label promo. I actually have a white label promo that is so primitive it has sheets of information pasted onto a white album jacket. It's a favorite at my house, Allie has one already, this one is for Emma.

Allie's birthday coming up, she won't believe this green vinyl Red Seal RCA promo copy of Bowie Peter and the Wolf:

And Allie loves Roxy:

And finally, my holy grail:

Here Come The Warm Jets
British Import
On Island
PORKY PRIME CUT!!!

Needless to say, I'm happy happy happy.

Found time to get over to a local Record Fair at Royal Leamington Spa this morning.

Can't let Bside, Biz and Pumpkin find all the goodies

My favourite little lady was there who specialises in low cost, high quality items.
5 rows of £1 bins were plundered by me and my 13 year old daughter

So £30 spent and now spinning this lot;

THE PROCLAIMERS,   SUNSHINE ON LEITH
BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST,   LIVE
SANTANA,   III
SANTANA,   THE SWING LIGHT
DALTREY,ROGER,   DALTRY
SUPERTRAMP,   EVEN IN THE QUITEST MOMENTS
FERRY, BRYAN,   BOYS AND GIRLS
WALSH, JOE,   YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH A SICK MIND
DALTRY, ROGER,   PARTING SHOULD BE PAINLESS
WINWOOD, STEVE,   ARC OF A DIVER
XTC,   GO+
ORBISON, ROY,   THE GREATEST HITS
STEELY DAN,   GAUCHO
BREAD,   THE SOUND OF BREAD
LANG, K.D. AND THE RECLINES,   ABSOLUTE TORCH AND TEANG
THE BOOMTOWN RATS,   A TONIC FOR THE TROOPS
THE BOOMTOWN RATS,   THE FINE ART OF SURFACING
ABBA,    THE VISITORS
BENSON, GEORGE & KLUGH, EARL   COLLABORATION
WALSH, JOE,   YOU BOUGHT IT, YOU NAME IT
HARLEY, STEVE AND COCKNEY REBEL,   THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES
BACHMAN TURNER OVERDRIVE,   NOT FRAGILE
JEFFERSON STARSHIP,   MODERN TIMES
CLANNAD,   MAGICAL RING
CLANNAD,   SIRIUS
AMERICA,   HISTORY
SUPERTRAMP,   PARIS
SUPERTRAMP,   CRISIS? WHAT CRISIS
WASHINTON, GROVER JR.,   REED SEED
SEGER, BOB AND THE SILVER BULLET BAND,   THE DISTANCE
MOORE, GARY,   WE WANT MOORE!
THREE DOG NIGHT,   THREE DOG NIGHT

All the vinyl and most of the covers are in Mint/Near Mint condition, except for the Three Dog Night which looks like the only one to have ever seen a needle - a bit of a steaming and it should be fine.

The Abba and The Proclaimers were chosen by Sophie (both were fine by me).
There's a few in here I've wanted for a while, especially the Daltry (I love Giving It All Away).
The other gem is the Live Gary Moore album (RIP Squire), I saw him on this tour - it was a great show him with Ian Paice on drums

Plenty of spinning on my new deck to be had here

The Motels - All Four One

New Order - Brotherhood (original 1986 in shrink wrap)

Looks like you've caught up!
I have a lot of Steve Harley, the one you picked up is my fave.

I've never heard of him or Cockney Rebel. What type of music?

Laura

Make me smile

Ignore the two jokers (DLT & Jimmy Saville) opening up this clip.

You might recognise this, probably their most famous hit.

Cheers
Dave

Make Me Smile was a monster hit...just not here. I would call it pop on the cusp of the new wave. I happened on a CD single of the 30 yr anniversary where he rerecorded it, also pretty good.

Meanwhile, Davey, that youtube clip is incredible. Few people have vocal delivery like Harley (B Ferry comes to mind) and he is having a ball singing it! Besides handclaps, I'm a sucker for songs that have those brief silent breaks and then explode right back into the song. And those "ooh-ooh-la-la-la's" just hit the spot. You've made my morning, thanks!

Also, reviewing all music. com has me adding the words slick, glam and polished. Refined pop!

Paul

Got to admit - I had this tune spinning on the New TT at a rather impressive volume on Sunday
The whole family having a bit of a dance (rather embarrassingly in my case) and a laugh
As you say it is a great pop song, difficult for anyone not to appreciate it.

Re.great voices, I took my eldest daughter to see a one off. rather intimate KT Tunstallgig on Sunday night.
She really impressed - on all fronts. Stunning voice, very versatile guitarist/pianist and highly engaging.

Both of these experiences really had us on a high - Isn't music a great therapy
