Old Vinyl (Part 1)

Need some pictures on this blog, to prove it's not dead 😀

Got bored the other day so grabbed a box of vinyl singles from upstairs to listen to a few, and decided to photograph them as I went.

So in no particular order here's what I've done so far 🙄

VA - Switched On (The Cool Sound Of TV Advertising)

Switched On (The Cool Sound Of TV Advertising)

Like the Essential soundtracks album I picked this up after collecting a pile of vouchers from some product that I can't actually remember?
So glad I did as this is a brilliant collection of songs.
I can't remember how many times I've only discovered bands just because one of their tracks was used in an advert and it's stuck in my head.
Not sure if it really works on an advertising level as I often can't think what the product was and it's only through compilations like this that I find the music, this is from around 2001.

Another punk compilation, 16 tracks all from the right era this time with the exception of the NY Dolls track.
Mainly picked this up to get a decent copy of "Holiday in Cambodia" which I only had on tape before.
Nice choice of tracks and probably worth the £3.99 I paid for it.
