ultra rare velvet underground album

I've many Velvet Underground goodies, and have been a fan for many, many years, but have never seen this album out in the wild before. Think l will be putting in a substantial bid for it, and may even take out a loan to do so. Wish me luck!

When you need a photograph to illustrate how fucked up the USA has become, look no further than this. ICE aren't interested in justice, they're just Trump's armed militia preparing for future conflicts when election time comes around (if it ever does).

MARC BOLAN UNRELEASED RECORDINGS (EMIDISC ACETATE) - AUDIO SNIPPETS


MARC BOLAN - FLU FLU ISLAND C/W HAD AND ALL 7" - UNRELEASED RECORDINGS (EMIDISC ACETATE). Fantastic slice of Marc Bolan history with this original double-sided 1973 Emidisc 7" recording featuring two songs that appear to be commercially unreleased at the time of writing - Flu Flu Island c/w Had And All. With printed Emidisc labels both sides, with the track titles handwritten. Beckenham is handwritten to both sides as well as Raunch Music & Whirlwind Bazooka. The acetate is in VG condition displaying some surface marks/scuffs to the playing surfaces with a little wear to the lacquer - this is not heavy and both songs play without any major disturbance to playback. Please get in touch for audio samples.

MARC BOLAN - UNRELEASED EP 'LUCILLE' (FIRST STUDIO RECORDING)


MARC BOLAN - UNRELEASED EP 'LUCILLE' (FIRST STUDIO RECORDING - RGJ 196 - WITH PROVENANCE). Remarcable(!) piece of Marc Bolan history with this commercially unreleased (vinyl) 7" EP recording from 1964. Generously consigned by the vendor who recorded the session, which was then pressed by Pye Records in Mitcham, Surrey and mastered by RG Jones in London. The record contains four songs with Lucille and Girl In Green to side 1 and Lonely Avenue and (Baby) I'm Leavin' to side 2. The record is in clean Ex condition showing a few light and minor surface hairline marks, none of which are ever heavier in nature. Matrix: RGJ-196A & RGJ-196B. With detailed letter of provenance from the vendor who states: "The EP is quite unique as it was the first quality studio recording of Marc and technically sounds much better than his following solo acetates made in demo studios with just him and a guitar... I thought maybe it was time for the rest of the World to hear the young 17 year old Marc's early school band efforts from 60 years ago."

the sad reality of life in the shadow of keith richards

Due to the clientele l am about to shortly encounter,  I don't know why l bother putting on my glad rags to head to the pub, especially on a Sunday afternoon, and especially nowadays. I foolishly still think l look like the top picture, when in reality, it's probably more like the second. Time is indeed a cruel mistress. I blame God.

at least 64 recent murders by the usa

 In a normal society this should be all over the news and the president should be impeached for targeting and blowing up boats, many, many miles away from the USA, with or without 'drug smugglers' in them. If smuggling drugs, they should be stopped and arrested, and given a trial. This is just murder, and innocent people will also have been killed, just to satisfy Donald Trump's latest whim to destabilise Venezuela. At least the commander in charge had the decency to resign, rather than following these orders.

Also, to no-ones surprise. The constitution is now worthless.
