Even better if you have all of that on vinyl 12" singles!

Hi Mike, I only saw your PM this morning (thanks for that), I'd already ordered the album. Got it for £3.49 off World Books. As you say, silly prices. Like Macca, I wasn't keen on a lot of those tunes back in the day, but have since 'grown into' them. I like that they are all 12", which ime offer so much more than the 'single edits'.
Visited our local car boot this morning, a picked up (for a pound each):
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Boz Scaggs - Some Change
Paul McCartney - All The Best!
I think all of these will fall into your dreaded AOR/ grandad rock categoriesbut then I am a grandad, have been for 18 years now!

Took a few attempts to get this one playing. My CD player Marantz CD6006 (UK edition), is being a bit of a knobhead lately, and is only getting worse. Sometimes the drawer won't open, then it won't close, and moves very slowly. Also miss-tracked towards the end of a couple of CDs yesterday.
I'll pay a visit to Mike Powell at Bolton next week, but might give him my old Densen player to fix instead. Apparently it uses a generic Sony mechanism, so shouldn't be too costly.

Actually, I quite like a bit of Dylan. I'm also a Grandad, though only for 4 years in. Great fun !Hi Mike, I only saw your PM this morning (thanks for that), I'd already ordered the album.

One of the last records I bought before going over to the dark side (CD) for a couple of decades. No worries, it was still there when I returned

Not listened to that in a long time I'll give it a spin later. Certainly one of the greatest albums ever at least for those of us whose 'era' it was.One of the last records I bought before going over to the dark side (CD) for a couple of decades. No worries, it was still there when I returned
