Some nice tracks on these releases but also completely unofficial - no attempt was made by those behind the “label” to compensate the original artists or rights holders as far as I’m aware. Just straight up stealing and inexcusable imo.
That being said, absolutely do sell those on if they are going for $$$ these days! Just checked Popsike and the 12”s have historically gone for anything between 15 to 40 quid, although no sales since 2021…
Thank you.
Flamenco and Chanson edition haul.
20p for France Gall (Is it Balearic? Waterman Remix) and Paco Pena.
Exactly £13 quid total on the rest but the Nina Simone has damage rendering only ‘Ain’t Got No’ playable, shame as these are generally quite minty. There was bonus free copy of Fuente-Y-Caudal shoved into the gatefold sleeve for Entre Dos Aguas and others…Gateway drug flamenco flavours.
Oh, everyone should be onto Stardance, campy space disco, what’s not to like?

Stardance, very elusive on 12" for me at least I’d completely forgotten about it. Great record
Love “Stardance”. Canadian only 12” if memory serves me well. Always wanted it, but passed on it over time as there never seemed to be anything more than VG seeming to exist 
.
“Woman” by Forde always seemed to be cheap heat, but even that has seen an uptick in value over the last few years.
Paco de lucia just reminds me of college days in the sun. Kudos 
Woman seemed to go up in price when Harvey’s Sarcastic Mix came out.
Ahh, the Harvey tax. Makes sense now 
Absolute beauties - both of them! And a total bargain.
cheers, yeah, I’ve seen one of them before at a different flea market but it was 20 euros and I didn’t really want to spend that much… but some guy had loads of good stuff, all for 5 euros a piece yesterday, so very happy with that, porte de vanves if anyone’s in Paris, there’s often a few people with crates of stuff about and it’s not toooo touristy (compared to many other places).
It is lovely.
A few pick ups from Saturday, a record shop and a car boot.

Absolutely adore this record, and been after a clean copy for ages. It has the best cover of Love For Sale.

A second copy, great condition. Spare up for sale.

Jaunty library, NM but sadly without the groovy cover.
Some quality classical.
NM copy of this, replacing an old one https://www.discogs.com/release/133068-Visage-Fade-To-Grey
Looks like the rest of his records are on ebay and finishing in the next few minutes. ‘Hugh’ marked?
All the heavy hitters look to be filtered out but looks like a £1 a go haul for somebody keen?
Choice finds this weekend. Very happy to find this Rubarb Rubarb 7” which has been on my wants for donkeys years for 50p! All those years of searching and there was a copy in my own backyard amongst a pile of rubbish singles. There’s a slightly inferior version on YouTube that appeared on a private press comp, which is where I first heard it, but the 7” is even better - jangly 80s Balearic indie. Happy happy happy!
Geoff Mann LP is a 50p punt that I assumed would be some folk choir thing but actually it turns out to be an amazing darkwave synthy Goth album…absolutely bizarre and brilliant, so much so I bought another copy online in better condition this morning.
Lincoln Mayorga - another from my wants list! Never seem to see it for sale over here, found today for a quid. Absolutely killer tune “Camarillo”
Camarillo
Geoff
I think it was Terry Farley who said that Balearic is any music that sounds good when you’re at Vera’s.
Or was it on Veras?
Either way…
Not Balearic
Mixed by Alfredo Roberts?
I missed that, got a link to the completed auction? I was diggging through them at Deptford Market.
