Keep watching for some fabulous French rare VINYL & poster items coming very soon...

 

In the great traditions of 'Police Squad', as per usual our boss was home before us.

The other buyers will be updating you on the superb items that will soon be forthcoming from their efforts but I thought I'd pre-warn you all about some of mine.

I managed to find some wonderful & now very deleted German issue 'Original Jazz Classic' LPs by the likes of Chet Baker, Miles Davis and more in mint & unplayed condition. This series by Fantasy featured a collection of legendary albums that would cost several hundred pounds each if you were lucky enough to find a playable original. These labours of love reproduce the original sleeve artwork & labels, giving you a perfect copy from the original masters at a fraction of the price!

Still on the jazz front, I managed to pick up some beautiful condition late 50s UK originals - 12" LPs & 10" LPs - with magnificent clean white backs, scalloped flipback laminated sleeves & fantastic vinyl.

Rounding off the Jazz, there are some multi CD sets for those that prefer their audio digital.

On the prog/psyche front, watch out for some German issues of THE legendary Vertigo swirl originals in amazing near MINT condition along with many more hard-to-find rarities.

 

It may have caused us much stress & physical pain (even I only had four cups of coffee over the two days of trekking round & round the mammoth halls) but I suppose that we are fitter in body & mind as a result.

Our reward is in knowing that somebody, somewhere, will delight in finally obtaining that ONE elusive rarity that they have been hunting down for years without the associated aching corpus caused by walking miles in a freezing giant hall to find it.

 

All these goodies & more will be showing up soon on the '[reply to this topic]

The DEAL of the DAY train rumbles on with another short term tempting offer...

For a limited time only you can pick up this long deleted Depeche Mode 'REMIXES 81-04' set for under £50. Released in 2004 this UK Strictly Limited Edition 6-LP vinyl set features a compendium of 37 pioneering mixes spanning over 20 years including reworkings by Underworld, Goldfrapp, Air, Portishead, William Orbit and more, all presented in an individually numbered sealed picture box!

I'm being mercilessly nagged to add a blog entry, so here it is

 

I know that I've been rather quiet of late but, for some reason, the powers-that-be have foolishly allowed some of the staff here to take HOLIDAY - Outrageous !

As a consequence, I've had to wear my stock adding hat to continue to supply you with all the fine goodies that the other buyers have already talked about. I didn't really think that you'd particularly want to hear about my successes in administering a de-worming tablet to the cat without it turning into a whirring ball of fur & claws (Actually the beast is remarkably tolerant, to be fair - A chilled-out puss).

 

But fear not !

 

Thursday sees a mass exodus (rather like lemmings) as the entire of the UK buying team set off by road & rail for three days in sunny Utrecht in Holland. Hopefully the results of our labours (apart from the red eyes, sore feet & backache) should be leaping up on the site over the course of the following week.

Take it from me, all this 'buying on your behalf' is no light undertaking - The cars come back with the wheels splaying like something from Wacky Races - But it's all in a weekend's work for the buying team.

 

What nice chaps we are ...
