Recent Pick-ups #2

Bruce Spingsteen - Born In The USA (12").
Probably a must have for any record collection focusing on rock n roll. We all know about The Boss and THAT sleeve so I won't bore you with the history and intricacies of this album. The album has some of Springsteens must haves; Born In The USA, Dancing In The Dark, I'm On Fire. I am very pleased  to say that I got this album for a total bargain, a meer £5! It's in fantastic condition, the only thing really wrong is the 'includes...' sticker has folded a bit but it's done no damage to Springsteen's right elbow! 

Jake Bugg - Messed Up Kids EP (10")
I resolved to buy this EP purely because my attempts to buy Jake Bugg vinyl singles before this was released seemed to evade me at every opportunity. The EP has 4 tracks on it, and I'm sorry to say that I'm still waiting for a turntable so I've not heard the other 3 tracks yet. They are on youtube if you are interested. For £8 I think this is a bit of a bargain. £8 and 10" of quality music is worth anyones money right? I honestly can't wait to get into this. I'm hoping to have a turntable by the end of the week (I've said that before!)

Standing At The Sky's Edge numbered Artwork.
Yes, last but by no means least is a piece of art. This is basically the cover art of Richard Hawley's album 'Standing At The Sky's Edge' on an A3 (sort of, it's an odd shape) and is numbered, I have number 232 of 500. It's a really cool piece of memorabilia and I can't wait to get it it's own frame as it's currently being kept safe whilst I sort some stuff out. Oh and it was only £2. If you like that album go and buy it, it will look quality of your wall!

Right, I'm quite shocked I've done this. I'm happy to say I got 14 LPs yesterday for only £7 and there's some right crackers in there, I think I might do a bigger Recent Pickups next time and get them all in!

Peace and love.
SJ.
