    Cool

    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.
