Today's vinyl arrival - been eyeing this one for a while. One of my favorite songs from my favorite band, circa 1988. And with a (killer) Who cover on the b-side! Wasn't pricey, but just never jumped before. Plus, this copy is minty! 🔥
@vinylrecords Interesting #reggae 45 'Love Your Mother' from Roy Shirley from 1975, released on Hawk Records in UK. Some versions didn't have any writing on the label... Had to compare with an identical copy which did have writing to identify.
Now added to Discogs as a 'misprint' release.
@historyofpunkrock Picked up some photo frames at a garage sale for $2. Just the right size for some of my old favourite 7" #45rpm favourites. (Actual vinyl stored separately, of course.)
This is the picture cover for the Sex Pistols' PRETTY VACANT from 1977. Still has a small WH Smith (UK retailer) price tag on the front - for 65p! A real bargain.

The classic 'Rockaway Beach' 45 cover from the Ramones, also 1977. Looks pretty good on the wall... Sounds pretty good, too.
@historyofpunkrock And finally, the best #xmas song of all time - 'Fairy Tale of New York' by the Pogues. It was signed for me by the man who wrote it - Shane MacGowan.
Shane is unwell at the moment and I wish him all the peace and love in the Universe. He will always have a special place in our hearts.

That Thing You Do! / Dance With Me Tonight
1996 U.S. PROMO 7”
45rpm
I saw somebody recently post that this entire soundtrack was getting a #vinyl reissue soon, and was reminded that I had the 7” single for it somewhere.
I bought this a looong time ago simply because it’s one of my all time favorite movies, and I love Adam Schlesinger.
None of my #45s are registered on Discogs, so once I found it, was shocked to see it goes for over $100 CAD. #vinylrecords#90s#90smusic#90smovies
@jens@ralphruthe Genau das. Als #45 gewählt wurde, hieß es auch von allen Seiten, "ja, dann haben die USA ihren Niedergang verdient" oder "lasst die Leute in den Red States verrecken – die wollen es doch so!" Aber Aussagen dieser Art kommen quasi immer nur von Privilegierten (ich zähl mich da auch dazu), die komplett die vielen marginalisierten Gruppen unterschlagen, die sich seit eh und je gegen die Lindners und #45s dieser Welt wehren (müssen) und wissen, dass Aufgeben keine Option ist.
NEAL HEFTI / TOM GLAZER
Batman Theme / Superman Song
1966 Canada 7” pressing #45rpm
I’m 99% certain I got sunstroke today. It’s hot as hell outside & feel like The Elephant Man.
I battled through to dig through a ton more #45s today for about an hour, & found another 20 or so gems.
This is for sentimental purposes, and the 8 year old version of myself, the lover of the #batman tv show from ‘66. This cover is different than the U.S., but it’s the same record. #vinyl#vinylrecords#dc#dccomics
Life On Mars? b/w Life On Mars? (live) by David Bowie (1973)
40th Anniversary edition picture disc
It’s picture disc time! It’s also Bowie Time. Always the right time for something by him.
The picture on Side A is of course a still from the fabulous Life On Mars? video. The pic on Side B is of David performing live. The live version of the track was recorded in Boston in 1972.
