I am known as Tenner in Fac1968 my local independent record emporium for my tendency not to push the boat out when consuming vinyl. In fact I’d go farther and I very rarely spend more than a tenner on anything cos I am either impecunious or just plain mean. I feel it a moral duty whilst idiotic students are purchasing piles of Czech pressed new vinyl shite ( true saw a young woman with her father shelling out over \u00a3200 quid in Rough Trade on new garbage) to explore the hidden gems and downright weirdo stuff lurking in the chuck-out and wobbly bins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So without further ado here yesterdays trawl funny what comes up in the nets…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off 50p 45s all from 1950s and 1960s all playable only the classical pair less than perfecto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Con Vibrato
    The Pronit (Polish label Communist ERA) 45 is a beauty not only the cover shot but the b-side too.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Here a variant sleeve which even better…why the monkey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2730 February 25, 1934, Czarnk\u00f3w
    \u271e August 2, 1984 in Warsaw
    Polish composer, guitarist, arranger and conductor.
    1959 – he became a co-founder (along with Franciszek Walicki<\/a>) of the first Polish band rock & roll. He was also the musical director. This group, founded in Gdansk, called Rhythm And Blues<\/a>, active until 1960.

    It turns out it also features a saxophonist I have on another TV soundtrack MUZA LP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Neva Raphaello and The Dutch Swing College Band
    Recorded live in Rotterdam in 1956.
    Neva ran a Portuguese Reestaurant in London Post-War and popped over to sing with the band. The sleeve notes state she influenced by Bessie Smith and Sophie Tucker and she certainly in that vein. Shame the recording a bit muffled so hard to tell how good she really was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here another Philips 10″ with an excellent illustrated cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    3. Memories of Bix- Eddie Condon
    Same period trad jazz but well done and again a Dutch Graphics cover ( I collect them the Philips Label had superb Graphic Design department through late 1950s to 1960s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Jackie Davis: Chasing Shadows Part 1: Capitol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beautifully recorded straight ahead easy listening Hammond but done so well it influenced Shirley Scott.

    5. Pop-Overs No. 1 and 3 Fennell: Frederick Fennell and the Eastman (Kodak) Rochester ‘Pops’ Orchestra.
    Mad as batshit brisk tempo USA Marches….not my faves but with those covers who can resist? I guess that meant to be a Russian Sailor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most of these never seen a youtube video so only way to hear is to tune in for a future Trailer Star radio episode…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
