Housemartins - London 0 Hull 4 Great Band as was the Beautiful South

And the really good stuff

Hi David,

Nice haul there, dude! I often pick up vinyl at the Sally-an :cool:


Grace Jones - Nightclubbing


Did our recent listening sesh with my 'Slave to the Rhythm' EP have any influence on you buying that one? ;)

Good finds there Snapper. Nightclubbing is a great album and Mike Oldfield is one of my secret pleasures. Most of my early LP's were Oldfield although sadly sold all the vinyl ones years ago although expect to get a couple as part of job lot of vinyl in post.

Currently listing to the mint copy of The Stranglers - Black and White.

"Nice 'n' sleazy does it"

"Does it everytime"

Day off today so currently working through a pile of un-played vinyl waiting for Steve Jobs to announce new toys for boys at 6pm in San Francisco.
