The latest edition of my Vinyl Verdict Radio Show is now online for your listening pleasure. This time around, it's a broad mix of tunes entirely on vinyl. Besides searching for second-hand vinyl online, I also trawl charity shops around the UK and generally buy most 80s and other classic 7-inches and 12-inches if they appear to be in playable condition. So quite a few of the tunes on the latest show have come from my recent hunt for hits in Pocklington and Harrogate in Yorkshire.
My wife would say it's my obsession. She can barely hide her boredom as I regularly rifle through loads of a dusty, scratched compilation albums before unearthing a genuine classic. Certain charity shops are very aware of the market for old vinyl and so price their items accordingly. But many others don't - so there are often great bargains to be had.
So I'd like to thank the good people of Yorkshire for some 1968 vintage 7-inches from Tom Jones and Manfred Mann, not to mention a lovely track from 2006 in a limited-edition sleeve by US artist Cat Power. They all play perfectly and were priced at just 50p each. Ker-ching! Click on this link to Mixcloud, where you can listen to the all these tracks on the show - plus a lovely online purchase by OMD.
