There seems to be more stallholders selling records at the various markets these days
There is the hope of getting a bargain

Visited Wolfies at Stirling yesterday
I would go back again if in the area
Wolfie is a jovial sort of groover , and very helpful

Bought
Best Of The Marmalade
A band who covered the Beatles song OD-LA-DI-OB-LA-DA with great success in the 1960s

Scrappy, I just happen to have about 45 old 5AD top 40 charts, the oldest being 20th December 1968.

The week beginning 7th Feb. 1969 Marmalades version was sitting second on the chart, 0ne month later 7th March 1969 both versions (Marmalade & Beatles) were on top of the chart.

Beatles version is slightly better
Testy , I used to collect those 5AD Top 40 Charts

I have the picture disc of the Go Go's "our lips are sealed"and b side "we got the beat" from the 5AD radio station...it was a limited promo single of only 5000 copies....my aunty used to work there in the late 70s early 80s

Does this work?
For warped records
1 flat glass
2 warped record on top
3 newspaper on warped record
4 flat glass on top of warped record
5 leave out in sunlight for about 5 minutes 

Does this work ?
I've thrown or given away all my warped records , so cant experiment

The email heading was -Music Paloosa 2013 record fair next week-
So I rolled up today.
And the reason it was a fizzer?

The Pretty Things

Sussex Street Records and Art Gallery

Found the Album 23/7
The album was released in 1970, and its different to the earlier Pretty Things tunes of the 60's
There's a hint of Pink Floyd and later stage Beatles in some of the songs
Weird Album , listened to both sides 3 times now, and appreciating this weird psychedelic music
Best song : Cries from a Midnight Circus

Good Music shop this one , a must for all southee living residents of Adelaide.
The proprietor is another quiet unassuming groover

Yes it is opposite Marion Shopping Centre.

Visited the Wax Department
Wide variety
There were cheapy records in boxes at ground level
Young lad running the store , very helpful , nice bloke
He has been there a few years
It was a Big Star complex b4 he took over

Whilst up there I popped into Rock Therapy on Goodwood Road
Groover Fraser was happy I rolled up , having bought a couple of The Pretty Thing Albums off him to complete my album hunting of this magnificent band

Good outing for my mates and I
Also Visited Gerry At The Toss Of A Coin
He sells records, but they are Football records !

Had lunch at the Beach Pit on Jetty Road  Brighton
This establishment makes the best grilled fish in Adelaide

I enjoy the Southern outings
