Gerry Rafferty - Snakes And Ladders 1980

The 2023 Abbey Road half-speed master. Beautiful!
Can’t believe this was only £12.99 from Assai Records. Absolute steal.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - History of Modern 2010
#MicksVinyl #VinylSky
Their first album since 1996, and the first to feature the classic four-piece OMD line-up since 1986's The Pacific Age.
A fantastic return to form.

Big Country - The Buffalo Skinners 1993
#MicksVinyl #VinylSky
Ten years after ‘The Crossing’, Big Country remind everyone they are not just a bagpipe-sounding flash in the pan.
This is a fantastic album that cranks the guitars up loud and proud.

Another tongue-in-cheek single from the mid-eighties. Great stuff, but I never did win Stan’s Mini 😠

ABC - The Lexicon of Love 1982
#MicksVinyl #VinylSky
Bought this on cassette when it came out, then on CD
Ultimately succumbed to MP3, then streaming.
Now I finally own it on vinyl. Sounds as glorious as it looks.
Without question the best they ever made, with nothing that followed coming close.

Electric Light Orchestra - A New World Record 1976
#MicksVinyl #VinylSky
If ‘Out of the Blue’ was ELOs Opus Magnum, then ANWR was a more than fitting Overture.
Bristling with the classic ELO sound, this record is up there as one of the best.

The best Christmas single ever
I was 18, in the army, and out in a cold, snowy Duisburg when this came out ❤️

Electric Light Orchestra - Secret Messages 1983
#MicksVinyl #VinylSky
The glory days had passed when this came along, but still a very decent record. Has, in my opinion, stood the test of time better than Discovery, which was a massive commercial success.

When I was 13, and the Bay City Rollers were all the rage, I like to think I had more discerning taste.😂
This here was a huge favourite, from the marvellous Blue Jays album & this song still makes my ears warm
