"Back in the olden days, before NME, Sounds and Melody Maker cottoned on to the fact that Blyth Power was unfashionable, the first LP was recorded. It was December 1986. Joseph had just sacked the entire band, but they were still going to play on the recording. Clearly he had a lot to learn. Any self-respecting dictator worth his salt would have shot them all out of hand. We like the coincidence that 56076 had its Blyth Power nameplates removed around this time, and put onto 56134 instead. It must have been an omen. Anyhow, the band went into RMS studio in Crystal Palace and churned it out. Of mild interest in the wake of this release is the publicity campaign which the then solvent All The Madmen Records paid for. There was this chap called Spike who got paid £400, and in return he blagged interviews with all the music papers. Joseph even got to make an ass of himself on Radio 1's Newsbeat show. Hurrah! Think how much more press we might have gotten if we'd paid for advertising space as well. There were two vinyl pressings. The first had a green sleeve and the second had a blue, and the lyrics were included in a booklet. Mr C. at ATM rejected the original artwork design for the sleeve as it offended his vegetarian principles. Boo hoo. We thought it was funny."
I have been a lover of music and collector of vinyl all my life. For health reasons, I have had to give up my job, so I am now hoping to turn my hobby into a small business. I will be selling all sorts of records and collectibles from the last 7 decades. I will always do my very best to describe each item honestly and to include as many pictures as I can. Please look at all the pictures, as I use real ones, not stock photos, so what you see is exctly what you get. I will also go into as much detail as time allows so that you can understand exactly what you are bidding on. However, if you are unhappy with your purchase in any way, I offer a full refund upon return of the item. (excludes job-lots).
I will always protect my records properly for posting and insist upon tracked and signed parcels outside of the UK, unless by prior agreement, as this helps reassure both of us. I will always combine multiple wins to keep postage as reasonable as possible.
I sometimes recycle poor records as extra strength for my packaging. They are stiffer than cardboard. Just for fun and good-will, every now and then, I pop in something tasty! A relatively valuable, popular or iconic disc, so folks……………….
ALWAYS CHECK ANY BONUS PACKAGING CAREFULLY! You never know what goodies you might find!
When you find a nice bit of quality, please share the news anyway you like to do that. Oh, also mention the disc in feedback if you can. It is fun my end to see if all the treats and treasures get spotted. Good luck, and keep your eyes peeled, music lovers!
As well as the buying and selling of music and memorabilia, I offer lots of other services. Collections purchased. Comprehensive valuation service for single records or entire collections. Probate and disposal. Storage help and products. Cleaning service. Record protection. Rare vinyl finding service. Bespoke themed packs of 7?s or LP?s for 60s, 70s, 80s parties. Please email me for more details.
