Last weekend I popped across the solent to go see my mates and their new 3 week old kid (who is ace). Anyway, much more importantly I found myself waiting for the ferry with 45 minutes to kill and bumped into the "tHAT SHOP" which sells loads of second hand stuff, a good old alladins cave of junk/potential treasure.

3 racks of LPs with a few more piled up sounded like a good way to while away three quarters of an hour… here's what I got;

New Order - Temptation/Hurt - lovely sleeve and an excellent coda to the A side.
The Go-Betweens - Spring Hill Fair
Scritti Politti - Cupid & Psyche 85
The Cure - Faith
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
DEVO - Duty Now for the Future
Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery
XTC - Black Sea
XTC - 3D EP (lead track being Science friction)
this mortal coil - It'll End In Tears
The Human League - The Dignity of Labour pts. 1-4

All in for less than £40 and I was a happt lad. Not heard of nearly all those tracks and some good stuff to get through no doubt - the Cure mini-LP is really impressive so far…
