My favourite vinyl is definitely 30s, 40s, 50s stuff on vinyl produced
probably not later than 1980. (Having said that, I'm gagging for some

Bjork
at a reasonable price!)


I have all of Björk's (official) *solo* work from 'Debut' onwards.
These are all CDs, released (at the time) by/through Elektra and AFAIK
were not released on LP at the time. However, in 2000 'One Little
Indian' (re-)released her full *solo catalogue* on LP. The exception to
that is her last (official) album 'Vespertine' (2001) which AFAIK is
still only currently released/available on CD (and DVD) - (at least it
was at the time I bought my copy of 'Vespertine' then CD copy only, NA
on LP).




OK, I'm thinking of original releases, ideally and at nice secondhand
prices - which are starting to creep up BTW!

Went to Nemesis Records today
(http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keit...is/nemesis.htm)

and grabbed the following:

Laurie Anderson - Mister Heartbreak
Laurie Anderson - Big Science (again)
Laurie Anderson - Strange Angels (again)
Charlie Mingus - Charlie Mingus
Joan Baez - The Best Of
Melanie Phonogenic/Not Just Another Pretty Face
Suzanne Vega 10" Book Of dreams
Gipsy Kings/Gipsy Kings
The Mamas And Papas - The Best Of
Marty Robbins - Gunfighter Ballads
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Queen - The Miracle
Queen - Live Killers
Ian Dury ATBHs - Greatest Hits
Chris Rea - Road To Hell
Chris Rea - On The Beach
Chris Rea - Wired To The moon
Chris Rea - Chris Rea
Mark Knopfler - Local Hero
Yello - Claro Qui Si
Yello - Soli Pleasure
Died Pretty - Lost

and a Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams Picture Disc (AL in her 'dyke' gear)


All in 'mint' (or unplayed) nick and only 85 spons the lot! - He (Dai the
Pie) had a bit of gusset in tow so he was in a fairly 'uncommercial' frame
of mind! :-) This little lot works out at less than 4 quid a slice - that's
cheaper than Charity Shops these days!

(See where I'm coming from? I'll get my Bjork but not for a while yet! ;-)
