Mike you find FaNtAsTiC stuff every time you do a record fair!! I have to admit to being more than a bit jealous! You’re a brave man to go down the King Gizzard rabbit hole- I have no idea where to begin with them, so I just don’t 😆 Have a great Christmas! Cheers-R
That was a lot of amazing and cool looking records Mike. Won't claim to know all of it, have never even heard King Gizzard! Far as I know.
God Jul Mike. Cheers from Morten
Nice 7s! Lots of obscurities to me. Chiswick and Stiff were great 70s labels. Killer Damned single. Saw them live for the first time this year in Toronto. Classic band. Cheers
I’m used to the muscle bound dude on the cover of the Skids album. The Electric Chairs got zero fame in the US. That was pretty much the case with most Punk from the 70s.
Those are some cool 7's. Love The Beat and Madness lps. Need to check out The Mo-Dettes. Thanks for sharing.
You certainly had a good day at the fair Mike 👍👍👍
Save it for later is the stand out track for me on that Special Beat Service LP.
For the price you told me you paid for the Madness 7 LP,you got an absolute bargain mate,that would be my buy of the year !!!
The rest of the albums you picked up are excellent as well and the 7" singles were brilliant you're certainly the cat who got the cream 👍👍👍
PS….I've gotta Anti-Pasti hits album and my fave tune by them is No Government.
Hi Mike, with exception of King Gizzard, a superb haul my friend. Take care bud and l look forward to your 2025 offerings!
Some good finds ! The Chelsea single is from a box set of step forward singles called step forward I wanna punk rock the singles collection…it's a cracking box set !
Good bunch of finds Mike, I haven't got anything by The Skids or Tenpole Tudor. Lovely Japanese edition of Madness 7, don't think I've seen a copy of that in living memory.
Good way to finish the year off – nice finds Mike – have a good festive period and catch you in the new year ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🫡🇬🇧
Mike, Nick would be very pleased with your ska pick ups. Love the Beat & Skatellites (I have the reissue of that or is it vol 1?) I don’t have any Skids. The first 3-4 Madness records are brilliant. I’m a bit luck re:Japanese pressings as I go there every year. You’re dead right that collecting Gizz is an odyssey 😂 The yanks just don’t seem to get into 7”s. They’re missing out I reckon. John Cooper Clarke!!! Nice! What a champ. Nice pair of Elvis’s. Love Disco Man. Nice pick ups mate. Hope however you celebrate it you have a ripper Chrimbo mate 👍Cheers…Ben
