What albums have you bought lately?

Today a trip to Herne Hill Hoxfam, where you get a better class of second hand CD, albeit firmly rooted in the 90s.

Stepping neatly past the inevitable copies of Free Peace Sweet by Dodgy (an object lesson in nominative determinism if there ever was one) and Morcheeba’s Big Calm

We Care by Whale

including the magnificent

Some Big Beat goodness from Apollo 440 with Dude Descending A Staircase

and the sadly overlooked Bristol trip-hop outfit Smith & Mighty with Bass Is Maternal

Little known fact. I mostly bought this album for the track Time Is Running Out, which also features on the soundtrack to the movie S.W.A.T

The vocalist credited is Tommy Blaize, who (more than a little bit weirdly IMO) is the singer with the Strictly Come Dancing house band …

I’m not sure how I feel about this.

Hmm.

I ordered this

from MusicMagpie on Amazon. Basically on the strength of a post on the “What are you listening to” thread.

Instead, this

load of hokey pokey just turned up in the post.

Think I’ll be sending them a mail.

Nothing at the moment, but heading off to Bexhill tomorrow for a bit of record shopping. I shall report back

Bit of a splurge yesterday & today.

First off, a nice wee selection direct from the Dutton - Vocalion label, as detailed in my recent thread, discussing their Winter Sale.

The rest are all from Amacuntz, taking advantage of their offer today of £10 off an order totalling over £50 + I had a fiver gift code credited yesterday, for participating in a customer survey last month. (The £10 offer expired at midnight on Fri 20th, unfortunately. I ordered in the last hour of the offer still running, so had no time to offer a heads up.)

With the voucher + tenner off from Amacuntz + the fab sale offer from Vocalion, the whole lot 'ere have cost me pretty much bang on £80 for a great haul of real classic albums + Taeko Kunishimas latest, which it was only a matter of me getting round to buying in any case.

£20 (3 for a tenner) from Carnival in Malvern.

Evidently someone had already nabbed Peter Gabriel 3, or I was being thick
