Lord Of The Boot Sale or Forgotten Vinyl
Posted by daddyorchipsblog on 11 February 2011 - 10:22pm.
While you can find almost anything via iTunes or Spotify or wherever, sometimes a blog like this reminds you that out there somewhere exists a very odd seam of stuff that won't ever reach people's ears (often with good reason, mind you).
Anyway, look at this for a labour of love. This chap finds obscure vinyl, rips em to mp3, scans the label and writes up whatever he knows.

Pat Phoenix: Coronation Street Monologue (1962)
The Beejays: My Boyfriend's Back (complete with charming letter from the label)
And so on...

How strange you should post that.
The Coronation street one,bought it in a shop in Bognor in the mid 80's.
The B side.
Anyone doing a pub quiz in the Brighton area next week might find this on the "Guess who's singing" round.A quizmaster asked me to make a few rounds of it and i put this on on monday.
How spooky!
How spooky!
FFS!
You do realise I am not going to leave my computer now for the whole weekend! There's some cracking tracks on that site. Valerie Singleton sings! I have loads of other similar sites bookmarked on a different computer. I shall return with them. Here is one I remembered though.

This record has yet to reach YouTube. Perhaps if I learn how it works I could be the first to post this rarity.
That's the stuff.
That Peter Adamson LP is fantastic. I daren't go on the blog yet, as I've got to be out soon and I'll never get there.
I've now spent the last five minutes summing up 'Michael' in
my head and wondering why Len Fairclough was telling him to be good.
Then my mind wandered to Indigo records and wondering about the people who worked there.
I then started wondering about the 'girl' who gave him that wonderful blow-dry.
Don't get that with downloads do you?
Don't get over-excited JoLean
It's only a single. It's one of those talking ones, Just like the Anthony Hopkins single Distant Star.
Oh.
Like so many things, it flattered to deceive.
I'd still like to hear Len proclaiming about Henry VII and VIII and 'divorced, beheaded, died', though.
Not sure if that was ever..
part of the original allegation or prosecution??
