Reviews of tasty and obscure hook-filled rock'n' roll releases (Glam, Heavy Bonehead Crunchers, Powerpop, Pop/psych,Garage, Surf, 60s Girl Group Rock)...Plus any quirky musings that tickle my fancy... I created this blog in order to stimulate interest, share discoveries and encourage people to go out and search for the original vinyl. Hopefully this blog might also encourage labels to actually compile some of this stuff officialy.

Utrecht Record Fair November 2017 - Day 2
2nd day, 2nd haul...
As with yesterday, we are not talking great numbers, but just great finds
Finding a bargain doesn't mean spending 2 euros on a record, but can also mean spending €200.
The Eyes EP is just perfect and looks unplayed. It was not one of the lot found in quantity 10 years ago, but was bought over 30 years ago at the Jive Dive record shop.
A few more were knocked off my wants list including The Gnomes of Zurich and Bluejeans (great late Blue Jeans when they were no longer swinging)
The Austrian EX Slaves madness of Charles Ryder Corporation is another upgrade
Speaking of Flames, Streamliner is a great catch from this South African band. The pic sleeve was so ghastly, that I chose a copy without! Sounds Like a Beach Boys update with great thudding bass and which links nicely with the demo of See The Light I found yesterday
Other nice ones include The Shindigs (Graham Gouldman), Caloogie and Lazy Day from Tinkerbells Fairydust and The Image Germany only single
Anyhow, I will have a more leisurely stroll around the fair tomorrow, before heading off to the airport. I don't expect anything special, but who knows...
