For any one (remotely) interested in my very small output (and not a bot!) I’m moving over to bsky.social
My new handle is @recordcollector10.bsky.social
Hopefully we can build a passionate music-based collective on a more positive site 💿

Fantastic to receive some late night (insomniac fuelled) eBay hails inc a collection of @stereophonics @trishayearwood @ebtg & #RobertCray CD singles and albums

#NowPlaying #DianaRoss & her 1979 album #TheBoss
US No 14 (Gold) it stalled at UK No 52. Personally, it’s one of my favourite Diana Ross albums - The Boss (US No 19 / UK No 40) & It’s My House (UK No 32) were terrific singles and deserved bigger success

Loving the new @NiallOfficial album … Boys Are Fun, Better Man, Dinner Party … so far I can’t stop spinning it.
Hoping we’ll get an extended version soon!

#Nowaplaying @ShawnMendes & his 2024 fifth LP Shawn. A brilliant, if short, affair made up of pop/folk rock numbers … one I keep coming back to, love the red #vinyl too

A fab short stop to a #charityshop and found a few CD bargains from Thea Gilmore, New Order, Beck, Bon Jovi & others to add to my collection!

A far cooler evening - so enjoying the gentle breeze accompanied by @RollingStones & their 1984 compilation Rewind (1971-1984) … such a great period for the band!

Sometimes only #DustySpringfield will do
#NowPlaying #Dusty & her 1988 UK No 14 compilation - The Silver Collection

Glorious evening watching @EmmylouSongbird on her final UK tour at @Bristol_Beacon … At 79, Emmylou is beyond compare. I hope it’s not really her final tour and she comes back again - but if it is, what a treat of a show!

#NowPlaying @lilyallen & this clear #vinyl reissue of her 2009 UK No 1 / AUS No 1 / US No 5 album It’s Not Me, It’s You
A wonderfully sharp album, its lead single The Fear spent 4 weeks atop the UK Charts.
I remember the scandal when Not Fair was released! A fab song.

#NowPlaying #Abba Legend Frida & her 1982 solo album Something’s Going On. Produced by Phil Collins it has a more deliberate rock sound - it sold 1.5m copies worldwide making it the best selling solo album from a member of Abba! #Vinyl #recordcollector

Now Playing #CliffRichard & his 1978 album Green Light. One of his lowest charting releases (UK No 25), it doesn’t reach the peak of some of his work - but there’s still lots to enjoy. Worth noting he’s the second highest selling UK male (behind Elton) with c240m WW record sales

#NowPlaying #GoGos member #JaneWiedlin & her 1988 UK No 48 / US No 105 album #Fur on #vinyl
The US Top 10 #RushHour (UK No 12) will be the hit you’ll still hear today, but there’s lots to enjoy on this album inc my fave synth-pop track Song of the Factory

#NowPlaying @PaulMcCartney & his 1990 UK No 35 single #AllMyTrials on 7” #vinyl. Taken from his live album, Tripping The Live Fantastic, this also includes a fab live version of the Wings classic C Moon
