Digging out some 80’s Gold
Daft Punk
Just loading a few more tunes tonight, including a 12″ from Daft Punk – Burnin’. It’s in great shape too! Check it out on my discogs page here.

New turntable?
I’ve been looking out for a new turntable recently, as my other one is in need of an update. The Origin Live Voyager Turntable caught my eye, until I saw the price – £27,000! At least you get free delivery I suppose.
Chikyu-u Records
Taking a break from the turntable today and have been listening to some excellent, groovy house music on Bandcamp. Don’t know much about this label, other than they are based in Switzerland, but they are producing some great stuff at the moment.

Plenty of new tunes on the way…

Trip Back In Time
I found a box of 78’s the other day, among a job lot of records I bought a while ago. Some interesting ones in there, from artists such as Bing Crosby, Norman Wisdom, Harry Belafonte, Nat King Cole and Fats Domino. Only snag is I don’t have a way of playing them! Interesting how times… Continue reading Trip Back In Time
