    Hi Rob, most will be going directly to the bin that was behind me. It was an interesting exercise. Glad it was at least some ones you'd not really seen before. I will be catching up on James Griffiths video too ASAP. Another week here and weather is very changeable like always here. I'm guessing you've been hard at work outside in the sunshine there? I've been playing alot of records this year some 30 years old I'm so glad I kept them all otherwise I'd not remember them to get them again. Highly unlikely to turn up and at a reasonable price too. 90s vinyl is so scarce but more reissues help everyone out. Cheers Rob, Martin.

    Good evening Martin. So good to see you again on this Sunday evening. I saw that James Griffiths posted a new video that I will get to later on. I have to say. That was one of the most unique variety of records that I have seen in a long time. I do not really know what to say about 90% of them. Because I am not really familiar with them. People like Marty Robbins, Peter Ustinov {I thought that he was an actor}, George Hamilton {an actor from here in the US who is always tanned} and Boxcar Willie I am aware of. But not their music. Manfred Mann and Pavarotti were nice finds. It was a longer video but interesting from start to finish Martin. Are you going to give each one of those a listen? That may take you some time to do so. But if so. I hope that some of them are much better than you may have expected. Have a nice week~

    Hello Mr Scavenger.
    I swear one of those boxes was full of a bunch of country records I dumped at a charity shop a few years ago.
    I've got a couple of Jean Redpath records, she's quite a good Scottish folk singer who spent most of her later years in America or Canada. She has a nice voice, but there is a whiff of shortbread about her.
    I've got that Lewis Family record. Pretty good bluegrass gospel.
    My parents had that Gary and Vera Aspey album. I think they bought it at one of their gigs. I used to love it, the 8 year old me found the funny songs hilarious.
    Lots of music there that's become horrifically out of date. Makes one wonder what is the modern equivalent? You can't move for Robbie Williams CDs at the charity shop.

      I reckon the outlay was worth it because of the UK folk records. Rare stuff and some of the CDs were decent too.
      The Lewis Family. The Carter Family. Hmmmmm it'd be difficult to turn down the family and go and be a dairy farmer or an accountant.

    It was interesting to see the different packaging that US artists got for their UK budget compilations. Wouldn't you think that it would save money to recycle the covers? The Everly Brothers cover portrait was particularly dreadful. Still, I don't think that cutting costs in the art department really created a savings that got passed on to the buyer.
    That "Crosby Classics" LP is one of my most listened to albums. The music is very dated, but I really like Bing's recordings from the early 1930s. That ASV Living Era Bing Crosby compilation also has good tracks. My copy has a little white sticker that says "Made in England."
    That Merle Haggard/Willie Nelson record has become an entry-level collectable here in recent years. I usually see it priced at around $20 now. It was a clearance staple before Willie Nelson records got discovered by hipsters. The title track is great.
    Les Paul and Mary Ford will be worth a listen. Les' guitar playing is a treat for the ears. Bonus Trivia: Les Paul and Bing Crosby were early adopters of German tape-recording technology that was brought back to the USA as plunder. Les used the tape to pioneer multitrack recording. Bing used it to pre-record his radio show broadcasts.
    That Roy Orbison record has a good collection of hits that will sound great if the album got a good pressing.
    Cheers,
    Jacob

      @@Thevinylscavenger Willie and Merle aren't/weren't hipsters, but the hipsters have decided that they were far enough removed from mainstream country music that they are cool. It's hard to tell if the hipsters like the music as much as they like the image.
      Willie is the only elderly country entertainer who I've seen attract a young crowd at his live shows. Willie's mainstream hits, like "On the Road Again," get a strong reaction from youngest concert attendees. The twentysomethings go wild when they hear the familiar/nostalgic songs. (These are also the few songs that most actually know. They get bored and talk loudly during the deeper cuts.) I would imagine that many of the drunk young ladies who soulfully wave their beer cans in the air while swaying to the music don't actually own a single Willie Nelson album.

      Different more innocent times. Quite a bit of nostalgia e.g. Max was 1989 and still reminiscing about WW2. Harry/Wales must've been a huge appeal for many how many got Woolworths budget label presents as stocking fillers for Xmas? Well I thought it was kinda different in retrospect maybe go back to some decent cool records next time. Hope you are enjoying the summer.

    Hi Martin. A pretty poor selection I'm afraid. The sort of thing you see regularly for a pound each in a charity shop. I might have considered picking up Middle Of The Road, Kenny, Roy Orbison, Manfred Mann, Glen Campbell, Rod Stewart (I have this one on vinyl and CD), Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson, Houserockin' Music, Francoise Hardy, The Four Seasons, Peter Cook/Jonathan Miller/Spike Milligan/ Peter Sellers, Morris On ( a great album; I have this one), Glitter Band, Rubettes, Chas & Dave, Tony Hancock ( I have this one) and Holst Planets ... It always amazes me that charity shops were full of acts like Max Bygraves, and Ted Heath back in the 80's. Here we are nearly 50 years later and they are still taking up space in their record racks. Take care.
