Vinyl collector - especially 7” singles, meditator, member of Triratna Buddhist Order.
Seem to have developed a thing for vintage paperbacks.
Low woo threshold, likes an evidence base.
First two times (Mole Show & Cube E) amazing.
Third and fourth (Bunny Boy & Wonder of Weird) OK.

Sorry to hear the news of Jimmy Cliff’s death while I was away.
Playing this rather lovely ‘69 first press in commemoration - which, remarkably, is very far from condition:reggae.

Move towards the light.
Misty evening at Adhisthana.

Here go then, we’ve finally hit 1967, and here’s the first #WeekendSingles batch of them (with one ‘66 interloper).
Are you going for fringed buckskin and droopy moustache; cheesecloth, Afghan coat and flowers in your hair; or paisley cravat and vintage cavalry officer’s jacket?

Since I was listening to a @500songspodcast.bsky.social podcast about You’re Gonna Miss Me when I realised it was #12InchTuesday (it’s almost like they come round every week), I thought I’d better post it - even though it’s a 10”.
So here it is, along with another three 10”s.

A curiosity.
2 years after the original, remarkably similar instrumentation, but with a disco drum machine, so it loses any swing.
Plus a gender swap in the verse, which is particularly odd as the song makes more sense from a woman’s perspective.
MMc didn’t enjoy the ‘Vomit Comet’.

This is my last ‘mid 60s’ #WeekendSingles set - although there will be a repress set at some point - all my other original stuff is boxed up for my move.
Notables include an Indian press of The Kinks & the rare first Alan Bown release. I’ve posted the Nuggets stuff before, but I do love them.

Oops! Well spotted.
That explains why there’s a 9/7 transatlantic split, when I’d intended parity. I think this must be the one that got unfairly usurped.

Another batch of mid-sixties releases for #WeekendSingles
I’m chomping at the bit to get into 1967, and the extraordinary efflorescence of the late sixties.
Nevertheless, there’s some great stuff here - and in this series I’ve mostly restricted myself to posting just one disc by each artist.

Nah, fair enough.
In compensation here’s a thing for your thread

The Goat tarot is splendid, but might be cheaper from Rocket’s own sale.

9 years back I made a similar quip

Hey #WeekendSingkes posse - if you’re looking for more 7” storage, you could do worse than these £6.99 boxes that Aldi have on sale at the moment.

There’s a venerable old basement gig venue on Oxford Street in London called the 100 Club.
The back of the stage is ‘decorated’ with cut outs of the number 100.
Every time I go there the kerning on these 100s makes my teeth hurt.

Is it #12inchTuesday again already?
Oh, how the weeks fly by.
