Secret, never been open in all the times over about four years record shop. Contains boxes of terrible but priced "somebody elses records’, plus two boxes of sevens of which I couldn’t be bothered to ask a price on. Luckly he had dumped two boxes of crap in the alley he was taking to the chazzer so totally free. I’ve saved about 100 but the Quo and Rod Stewart’s finest efforts are in the bin now. There is a demand for classic soul 7’s like this Sam Cooke and rightly so.

A single Nu Groove 12 down the boot for two quid and not even a maybe on the rest of the field. The Telecom mix is pretty cool.

Three from my wants list in one day of digging is unusual and unexpected (Buffy/Azimuth/Call of the Valley).

I can’t find any reference anywhere to the blue 12” - it’s quite a decent synth pop tune. “Unknown” as they say in the trade.

Do you submit to discogs? Deep in the forums on discogs are a likely a huge collective of mole like librarian types with vaults filled with thousands of records they have submitted, I don’t lurk there…
It’s always a convoluted and frustrated process for me, especially adding additional versions to an existing release, stumped on that one.
Great haul for any day, let alone Thursday.

I don’t! It often amazes me how much time some people must spend doing it.

I have done, but it’s a fair bit of work. I have a bunch of stuff “to add” that I can’t see myself getting around to now. If it’s just a new variant, I find it isn’t really worth it. And if you leave it long enough, often someone else will do it for you!

My best submission:

Three days of digging over a week or so. Ready to hang up my digging shoes for good, after scraping myself out of bed about an hour after my 6am alarm & finding zilch on the first spot.
Swearin’ To God is a bit Holy Grail to disco collectors and is often considered the first twelve inch single. I’m now happier than a dog with two dicks. Oh, everything was between 50p and £3 which was great as I spent a grand total of £17 or all the cash I had on me today!

Just an edit, I think the PP arnold was highlighted on TP, It’s good and under the radar regardless.

A disco mother lode. Never seen either the Ben E King or Jimmy Castor Bunch 12”s after 25 years of digging. Incredible car boot finds.

Thanks for your support, gets tough to keep the energy. I nearly ended up doing chores for a friend today and passing on digging…

I can’t listen to that Frankie Valli without hearing the Blowfly lyrics

BLIMEY ! …

( need to type more to post)

That’s an earworm I don’t need…

Remember the outhere brothers being huge on the dancefloors of hot e fueled clubs for a few weeks with a backdoor theme?

Yes I remember. At least I do now.

I first heard that Blowfly Disco album in my early teens, with a puerile brain freshly softened up by Derek & Clive, so naturally I knew every word.
Meaning there are half a dozen disco classics whose original versions I didn’t hear until years later, so the Blowfly lyrics are imprinted.

I actually saw Blowfly live on some weird side stage at the Big Day Out in Melbourne around 2010.
