When you hear sitar on the intro of an Andy Williams record, you know things are going to get very interesting

@RobGMacfarlane had a vision in my dream that the 2 Deakin radio 4 programs were to be released on vinyl. With liner notes by you! I suppose we ought to make this happen asap?! I bet Roger wouldn’t mess about…

@BBCRadio4 listening to the wonderful radio tribute to Nick Drake’s “Northern Sky” snd I just keep thinking “I hope Nick knows somehow/ somewhere, how much he matters to so many”

It’s Marvin Gayes birthday today! Hotly anticipating some kind of release at some point from the huge haul of Ostend era tapes @rocking_bob

@Sotherans If you were a folk rock band, I’d definitely buy the vinyl

As an antidote to the ticker tape of increasingly horrifying things that constantly barge their way onto my “X” feed- I’m going to tell you that right now, I’m listening to my French 1974 pressing of Elvis’ “Harem Holiday”

“Ashamed” and “disgusted.” Just two of the words that my wife used to describe the way the interior of my car made her feel.

@ManMadeMoon I had a totally uncomfortable 35 mins showing my young son and daughter “Bewitched” a magical show, but this particular episode was all about the witchy protagonist having to avoid a groping business associate of her husband. I felt panic and despair!!

@AceRecordsLtd @rocking_bob @EgyptianShumba congratulations on the new Lou Christie release. Beautifully packaged and beautiful sounds. I played it once on the slog to London from the coast, and once more on the return leg! Can we have it on vinyl too?!

Nothing tells the world of one’s true age quite like the manner in which you climb out of the driving seat of your car.

When I jammed with Amy Winehouse at the @TheSavoyLondon thanks @Kent_Online

[jon nickoll @jonnickoll]

@Andymack Strange but so true. There is a Brian Wilson/ Honeys track that covers similar ground https://t.co/80MJv8TZLb

@unclewald I bought it on vinyl from the superlative @DavidsMusicLGC in an era ( early 90s) when I could only afford 1 lp a month- so the purchases really mattered. And sometime you had to really work to make peace with your purchase!
