Morning Sunday morning...
Have started the day with these 1979 LPs. M and Red Noise seem now not to be as good as I used to think they were. The other 3 have stood up nicely. Funny how an LP's status in your mind can be undermined by listening to it again after a while...
Have a top day people!

#NP CDs acquired yesterday. 2nd row of pic 5 are (a) the CD I already had, coincidentally bought from the same shop, Missing, in Glasgow, back in December; and (b) the 3 discs wrongly filed in their system and placed in the covers at the till. For those, downloads burned to CD-Rs resolved matters...

Ever buy music about which you know next to nothing?
My criteria:-
The Cover
The Record Company
The Instrumentation
The Country of Origin
I find, once back home, listening, that those have usually stood me in good stead…
P.S. If they are offered at 3 for £1, that helps with the level of risk too…

16-09-77, Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash. For me and many like me I suspect, his death was more significant than that of Elvis Presley exactly a month earlier. This is probably my favourite T Rex song of a run of 8 stonewall classic singles from Hot Love (2/71) to 20th Century Boy (3/73) Yeah!

Spent an hour 1st thing going thru my timeline - went down a couple of Ed Sheerin rabbit holes. There's surely more to life than this? On the upside, it led me to listen again to my LP recorded in response Sheerin's take on musical plagiarism...
