Selling Some Stuff From My Collection

Selling Some Stuff From My Collection

I just wanted to make you guys aware that I am selling off some of my vinyl on eBay. I’m only posting to UK sellers I’m afraid. There is just too much hassle with posting things overseas. I’ll link to each item. You can see the listings below: A new/sealed silver vinyl edition of 40:…

Vinyl Revival – In My Room

Vinyl Revival – In My Room

Even though I have still been purchasing vinyl when finances have allowed, I haven’t listened to vinyl much at all over the past few years. We have one turntable in the house, a Rega Planar 3 that my Other Half bought in 1983, back in the days where there was no such thing as “designed…

Hamish Hawk (+ Redolent) – The Lemon Tree, Aberdeen – 09/02/2025

I’m not sure I can offer up anything else about this man and his band. You’d have had to be living under a rock or you just happen to be a first-time visitor to this blog not to have noticed what an impact Hamish Hawk has had upon me over the past two years in…

Prip’s World This Week – w/e 19 October 2024

This blog is growing seriously stagnant. As well as that, with the book taking up much of my creative writing time I’ve hardly done any other writing. I need to actively get back on the saddle to get my mind thinking about the avenues of writing that I will be getting involved in – namely…
