I'm trying to build a sensational record collection almost entirely through charity shops and car boot sales. See how I'm getting on.

Number 1 - Seed of Memory by Terry Reid. By some distance my most played album of the year. Just beautiful in every way and I'm so glad to own it. RIP, Terry.

Number 2 - Even Serpents Shine by The Only Ones. This one blew me away. No big hits like 'Another Planet', but immense songs that lean into post punk more, except with the addition of some guitar shredding!

Number 3 - If You Saw Thro My Eyes by Ian Matthews. This chap seems somewhat underrated and overlooked but this is one beautiful, consistent album. And with a lovely Vertigo swirl. #vinylcommunity

Number 4 - I've Got The Music In Me by Thelma Houston and Pressure Cooker. Just the most astonishing sound I've heard on any media. Some of the best session musicians of the 70s playing live in your living room. #vinylcommunity

Not groundbreaking stuff, but Sony seem to be best bang for buck for headphones. Even £50 ones have decent noise cancelling and good sound.

It did leap out as a little unusual. Sounds wonderful; very calypso!

The things that would go down in school lore when I was at school are daily occurrences now. My wife is a primary teacher and there is no way I'd last a day.
