My job gives me a lot of free time to float around the city, visiting less frequented charity shops to hunt down interesting vinyl.
I picked up a Double Vinyl album called:
"The All Year Round Green Finger Guide - With Percy Thrower & June Whitfield"
2 records worth of discussion about the best time or year to plant Vegetables, what to feed yer Tulips...etc.
It also came with a Seed Catalogue. wtf?!
a bargain for 50p.
I should get a few samples from it.
Hopefully it will plant a few ideas in my head.
Yesterday i got the Miami Vice theme, and an old Guitar instructional thing on 7inch.
Ive also been buying loads of ancient 78s from The Barras: link
Its like cultural archeology.
i picked up a recording of Yiddish Tango which is getting played heavily.
a few (excellent) Lional Hampton recordings, weird Irish novelty tunes and Scottish Accordian medleys.
I LOVE the sound of 78s.
From now on I would like to release all my music on 78.
The next time any of you lot come to Glasgow i will take you round these places in exchange for booze and cigarettes.

While one might complain about the stagnant state of the electro and dance music we have now, it's sobering to remember that the kids in the 60s had to dance to spoken word records about gardening.

I got a real gem from a local Goodwill back when I was scouting out an apartment in the Portland area 10 years ago...
"Music for your Plants" -- 25 cents, on vinyl. Cover has a string quartet sitting around some ferns playing their instruments... and on the back, there are two photos of plants, one group exposed to "rock and roll music" for a long period of time, and the other, classical.
I'm sure you can guess which side looked more vibrant, complete with the blurb of condemnation about the 'noise' rock and roll provides.
I need to find that.

Thrower would hunt you down with a spade, prune off your limbs then butcher you like a pig.

It seems ages ago since I went for some serious digging. Remember when I bought two copies of obscure sound fx records to do backspin scratches with them, then I realised it was perhaps going a bit too far.
Still got loads of fairytales records and dodgy children series from the 70s - some from holland, some french. Lovely stuff, never gotten around sampling them. There's one from our former queen Fabiola, a 10 inch in red vinyl, hmm...
Would love to hear some samples of the garden records, people getting all serious about gardning on vinyl is always refreshing.

i love diggin too!
i would have picked up those that you show pictures of too, except for the banjo one. that guy in the back left creeps me out. like he was running from the authorities and walked in that room and grabbed a banjo right as the took the picture and is grinning so big because now he is going to get away with whatever he did. and the neck/fretboard of his banjo looks more like a guitar hero controller then banjo.
i havent been diggin since um march, found some good stuff though.
picked up switched on bach and some chick corea. and something i dont remember and havent listened to yet with some crazy ass cover, i like crazy ass covers.
