The BBC is auctioning thousands of rare vinyl records (including Beatles, Bowie, Pink Floyd, and more), as well as vintage radio equipment and funky memorabilia from its archives... place your bets!
Very cool!! This is the last thing I need to be doing as I promised myself I wouldn’t start building a vinyl collection until my wife and I relocate to the UK in the next few years. But it’s actually the first thing I will be doing once I finish breakfast!! Even if I don’t bid it’ll be exciting to see what they have available.
You'll only hear this from me once, Andy.....vinyl? What vinyl? I'm severely attracted to that BBC Radio "On the Air" light box! That's' an amazing artifact! Cool to see you cover, again, up-to-the-minute vinyl happenings, and, in........uh, record time!💿Well done!
I'm always amused at the way George is listed first on the first album (and on, I think, one subsequent one), by the EMI promo people who did not understand in any way the dynamics of the band and went solely by the traditional "lead guitar" "rhythm guitar" "bass guitar" hierarchy. (And the Fabs still being too inexperienced and not quite confident enough to dictate what went on the album sleeves and how).
As I just had a flood in my converted garage/studio and had to carry 1000 plus LPs to the house in 25 album batches (filling up our 2nd bedroom), the urge to sell has never been greater. Especially as it may be peak selling time? I dunno. I think it’s my sore back talking the loudest. At least I’m not tempted to bid on anything!;)
My brain:
Don't look at what's available.
Don't look at what's available.
Don't look at what's available.
Dude, seriously; Don't look at what's available.
Also me:
Spending a good two hours looking at what's available.
