Whats the last record you bought?

God I can’t wait for your benatar edit. Bought the OG thinking it would tide me over and it isn’t.

Love a good font @lovehandles - it’s called Amelia by Stan Davis from 60s and is used on a lot of other covers, not often as well as that.

Jinx! :laughing:

begs the question - if Thriller is the biggest selling album of all time, why aren’t charity shops full of copies?

Yeah, they say Blue Monday is the biggest selling 12" ever, but in my record/charity/junk shop experience I would say the most common is probably something by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

A charity shop classic along with Alison Moyet’s Raindancing and of course No Parlez.

Always wondered what Paul Young did to drive people to offload their No Parlez’s. They’re everywhere!

Ah thank you all re font info. Yes same here.

You’d think Paul Young would take advantage and do some instores to promote it

My copy of the Wham! ‘Blue’ release came in the post today, shame I’m gonna have to wait a few months to give it a spin, once the missus gives me the green light to splurge on some new vinyl listening equipment :mirror_ball:

As someone who buys odd thing once a month Im sure Ive got the identikit TP Forum member recent collection

Wham Blue - Check
E2E4 - Check
Parkway Mastermix - Check
Mr Monday Daybreak - Check
Bovell Lp - Check
Payfone - Check
Call a Wave - Check

Not knocking it as all v good. I suppose the chance to go in a shop & find an import thats not big has gone for me

Im also avoiding any 2nd hand apart from my non sold emotional connection set & the odd nostalgia buy
I dont want that knackered vinyl fucking my stylus or the smell of 2nd hand stores permeating my collection

I did replace my copy of No Memory recently - GP & a half
