For any one (remotely) interested in my very small output (and not a bot!) I’m moving over to https://t.co/xXBzxTEj31 My new handle is @recordcollector10.bsky.social Hopefully we can build a passionate music-based collective on a more positive site 💿

A few #charityshop finds after a brief stop this afternoon … whilst I have every #Bowie album, somehow I didn’t have #Legacy (🤷) … plus finds from #Manilow #SimpleMinds #CarlaBruni #JamesBay #LittleMix #WillYoung #ChrisDeBurgh & #JLS to add to the collection … all 50p each

Ok, now time to bring out the big guns for dinner party accompaniment … can’t beat a bit of #BeeGees and this 1979 classic #GreatestHits on double #Vinyl

Evening entertainment continues with #GeorgeMichael carefully selected in accompaniment #ListenWithoutPrejudice

Dinner guests are coming around … time for #Sade & their classic 1984 debut album #DiamondLife

Cleaning the house before guests arrive … it’s only natural to play #IWantToBreakFree #Queen #GreatestHitsII #BlueVinyl #RecordCollector

It’s a rainy afternoon so playing monopoly with my little one … he got to choose any record to play - he chose #Springsteen Ok, it was totally random and nothing to do with him actually knowing the music … he is 6 after all! But still, gotta start somewhere #ThunderRoad

Hmm - first listen of #Aperture by #HarryStyles and I’m finding it a bit #meh … It’s a little less immediate than his previous lead singles, obviously a more deliberate sound … maybe it’s a grower

#NowPlaying @nialhoran & his 2017 album #Flicker US No 1 / UK No 3 on release, this is the 2025 online store-only blue marble #vinyl variant … looks superb. On The Loose / This Town / Slow Hands … some great songs on this debut album #recordcollector

Loving the latest single by @DollyParton, @reba @MileyCyrus @laineywilson & @IAMQUEENLATIFAH This is, I think, the 4th re-recording of #LightofaClearBlueMorning first on her 1977 album New Harvest, First Gathering, then 1992s Straight Talk, & then 2003s For God & For Country

I have to say, I’m loving #LaBambola by @Madonna … it’s been on constant repeat since its release Be fab to see a #vinyl or #cdsingle release (I miss bonus tracks and remixes you used to get on singles!) #Madonna #M15

Enjoying the smooth soul sound of #TheThreeDegrees & this 1979 UK Top 10 album #20GreatestHits When Will I See You Again, Take Good Care of Yourself, Dirty Ol’Man … some superb tracks here! #vinyl

Happy 80th Birthday #DollyParton #NowPlaying her 1975 compilation #BestOfVol2 which captures 10 fantastic songs from what was already (by then!) a superb catalogue to choose from Is there anyone else who is so unproblematic, positive and such a force for good? #Dolly #Vinyl

Easing towards the end of weekend by #nowplaying @DianaRoss & #MarvinGaye and their 1973 UK No 6 / US No 26 album #DianaAndMarvin #StopLookListenToYourHeart is one of my favourite duets … a class song #vinyl

#NowPlaying 4 random #CDSingles from my collection … inc * #AnnieLennox 1995s UK No 2 #NoMoreILoveYous * #Pretenders 2003s #SavingGrace (UK No 174) * #EltonJohn 2003s UK No 1 reissue of his 79 single #AreYouReadyForLove * #GeorgeMichael 2006s UK No 13 #AnEasierAffair

#NextUp is @GloriaEstefan & her 1991 single, #SealOurFate Perhaps one of her lesser chart hits (US No 53 / UK No 24), the song was used for a #Pepsi commercial that featured #GloriaEstefan This 7” #vinyl probably hasn’t been played since 1991 … still sounds smooth!

#NextUp is @JanetJackson & her 1990 single #LoveWillNeverDoWithoutYou on 7” #vinyl A US No 1 but somehow 🤷 it only reached UK No 34? A fab slice of swing / funk / dance

#NextUp is Ms Ross herself, @DianaRoss and her 1982 UK single #WorkThatBody Perhaps one of her lesser known hits, it reached UK No 7 / US No 44 - but its catchy as anything Now reach 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 … Work That Body!

#NowPlaying @petshopboys & their 1986 US No 10 / UK No 11 hit #Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money) on 7” #vinyl So gloriously 80s … still manages to sound fresh somehow

#NowPlaying @BlondieOfficial & this 1978 Holland release of their single #SundayGirl from the monster album that was #ParallelLines The French version sounds 👌

#NowPlaying @Madonna & her 2015 UK / US No 2 album #RebelHeart on 2LP #vinyl set Living for Love & GhostTown were sublime singles … we all slept on this album! Deserved better (tho it did go to No 1 in AUS / ITA / CAN / GER / SPAIN)
