Supercorsa Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) Whilst out this morning (well nearer lunchtime), I bought the following LP from a car boot sale for a quid. Dionne Warwick - Soulful - Wand (WNS 12) Side 1. You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' I'm Your Puppet People Got To Be Free You're All I Need To Get By We Can Work It Out Silent Voices Side 2. A Hard Day's Night Do Right Woman - Do Right Man I've Been Loving You Too Long People Get Ready Hey Jude What's Good About Goodbye I am the only person in the world who doesn't like the song, Hey Jude? I just think it's crap, mind you saying that I'm not a Beatles fan either! What records have you bought at car boot sales, that you wouldn't normally look twice at?

Mandy Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I bought a Johnny Cash LP only the other week - it was for my Dad (for daddy's day!) - it's so embarassing actually knowing which LP of his your dad hasn't got!!! The bloke was telling me how much he admired me that I was only a young girl (I'm 40 mate!!!) and wanted to buy this - I didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't actually for me - cost me 75pence but my dad is worth it Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Andy BB Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Last Sunday at a Hertfordshire car boot sale I splashed out 20p on a copy of Chuck Jackson - All Over The World. The Ralph Tee and Ian Levine remix on Debut. And God help me, I really shouldn't admit this, but I like it. It's on the turntable now. Nurse, NURSE! I also bought some other 80s soul 45s on Timeless records (Cos the tagline said "Soul Music Set free") - Equallly shite yet equally compelling, I think I must have been softened a bit by youthful Style Council purchases. Feel free to slap me this weekend if you see me out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Up most Sunday mornings at 5 am and trawling through tons of shite but believe me there just is not much stuff soul wise that comes out nowadays , it really is hard work! 2 nice albums I have had the last couple of weeks for 20p and 50p with interesting tracks. Super soul on 1967 Pye International with tracks by Chuck Jackson , Tommy Hunt , Roscoe Robinson , J J Barnes and Bobby Hebb to name a few. Second one is Blues and soul on 1966 Marble Arch with obscure tracks from The Entertainers , Mitty Collier - My party , Brilliant! and Two in the morning by Spooners Crowd , Hmm interesting.
