It is indeed 🙂

I think it might just be a Brill Building quirk, depending who was typing up the paperwork as there's cases where Mann-Weil, Goffin-King and Barry-Greenwich get swapped as well. Sometimes it varies between pressings, country of release... But that's a collecting rabbit hole I won't go down 😂

A set from the recently departed #NeilSedaka, from my late stepfather's collection. These are from what I jokingly called his "guilty pleasures" box but, honestly there's nothing wrong with a bit of classy Brill Building pop.

They are indeed. And they are delicious 😋

Like Special Agent Dale Cooper once said: Every day, once a day, give yourself a treat.

(Especially after we've just had our COVID jabs)

Ten for £15.

No, fair bit of 80's pop but not my thing (apart from stuff I already had). I didn't have time to look through everything, though - I'll need to set more time aside next time I visit, for a proper rummage.

It's a place called Swanage Emporium - all sorts of second hand items. It's on the high street, heading out of the town.

They have a Facebook page: www.facebook.com/share/1SUZ4f...

Working in Swanage today. On my lunch break.

This might prove fatal...

I'll round off the Animals theme with a couple more EP's and both sides of a 1982 re-issue picture disc.

Have a good week, everyone.

Judging by the unpainted label, I think that Human League single might have been pressed for places that still had vinyl jukeboxes - It didn't get a commercial 7-inch release so probably not many pressed!

Next from the Animals collection, some slightly later releases. There's a label change, and the sound gets dirtier on my absolute favourite from them, "Inside - Looking Out".

Up early for IKEA to deliver some more Kallax, so here's some more from our Animals set, with their first four UK singles.

#WeekendSingles #VinylSky #MusicSky

Having a bit of an Animals fest, kicking off with some EP's bequeathed to me by my stepdad John, who left us eight years ago this week.

I'm a tad out of practice, but I think this turned out okay?

#MeatFree #Vegetarian

Currently buzzing from breakfast Easter eggs and Southampton stuffing Arsenal last night 🥳

Odessey And Oracle always reminds me of my Zombies megafan stepdad John, who would also be buzzing from the result. Anniversary of his passing this week.

I do love a bizarre combo of artist and label - theme for a future #WeekendSingles perhaps?

Maybe it's the black tie-dye I'm wearing, but I find myself compelled to play The Mission - Sum And Substance

#NowPlaying #VinylSky #MusicSky

Out and about today, so here's a few EP's I prepared earlier: Dusty, Kinks, Buddy Holly and Beach Boys.

#WeekendSingles #VinylSky #MusicSky

Suzanne Vega. Playing in Salisbury. June 23rd. Yep, we're booked.

A few Pearl Jam singles for Sunday #WeekendSingles.

Need to rethink my storage strategy in the new place. Can't lug three-lane cases around like I used to... 😣

#VinylSky #MusicSky

Having a long overdue sort through my 90's singles. I'd completely forgotten about this one.

Playing it now, it's actually even more hilarious than when it came out.

#WeekendSingles #VinylSky #MusicSky

Submitted for your consideration today, four from the first half of the 1990's who shone brightly, but briefly chart wise:
Deee-Lite, Tasmin Archer, Crash Test Dummies and Stiltskin (which everyone liked until they found out it wasn't Smashing Pumpkins).

You wait ages for #FridayThe13th, then two come along in quick succession.

#NowWatching Part VI: Jason Lives

Country Joe & The Fish "Section 43" YouTube video by sbritt

I've just heard that Country Joe McDonald has passed away.

This blew me away the first time I heard it, a pivotal discovery for me when I was getting into psychedelic sounds as a teenager.

Rest in peace.

youtu.be/qrop2MRtsZE?...

Fave - Ace Of Spades
Take Out - Africa
Add - Ain't Nothin' But A Houseparty

Still went occasionally when I was visiting - my stepdad was a regular, though.

Indeed. Then a walk down to St Mary's Street for a rummage at Weasel's Records. Happy days.

Love it. I used to have one of these Panasonic beauties. To think they could be easily picked up in a charity shop at one time...

Formative #AlbumAlmanac

I bought this Sub Pop label sampler in 1988. Discovered some interesting bands. Started ordering lots of imports from Virgin in Southampton.

One lot called Nirvana, I had to wait two weeks for their first LP to arrive...
