Random musings and general banter.

What a variety of LP's they've got for sale, Buddy Holly, The Platters, Dean Martin, Billie Holliday. Even I'm not that old. He's just actually played a bit of Elvis, it sounded horrendous.

Dammit, must’ve missed the Des O’Connor greatest hits

Unfortunately that is a bit too recent for them to sell.

The only way those artists will be recording again is through a medium.

Did they have any sing a long records by Mrs Mills on the piano? God I'm definitely showing my age...

Do you remember Eric Morecambe saying it was Des short for Desperate?

I vaguely remember her, she was quite a large lady I think.

They're doing a multi buy offer on the turntables, but all 3 different colours, why would you do that? I've got a couple of different colour handbags to match outfits (OK, quite a few actually...) but why would you want turntables on different colours? Weird...

She was, she was born in the East End, used to do sing a long pub type music. The records were probably played at family parties in my childhood, there was always a party for something!

I wouldn't want any of them. I have records I've had since the '70's, and none of them crackle. If you look after them, and the stylus, they should sound perfect.

Music expert Ofthemasons says you lurve that crackle - take note!

Like he would own one of those pieces of tat.

Or Winifred Atwell and Russ Conway. And yes I do remember them and Mrs Mills and Tessie O’Shea.

Russ Conway! When I was a little girl watching him on TV, I used to think he was smiling at me.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

You need to be about 85 to remember The Platters first time around. Any Andrews Sisters or Paul Robeson 78s?

[Muttley]

That looks like it might have been from the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club. It looked like Colin Crompton wearing the flat cap.

 

[Battiola73]

I think he was dubbed the English Liberace. Didn’t he have part of a finger missing?

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He did, yes. On another musical note (pardon the pun) - Tony Iommi the guitarist of Black Sabbath also has the same issue fingers wise.
