Just been given a box of records by a work colleague, containing:
- all 3 Wire LPs on Harvest (1st pressings)
- all Smiths studio LPs (Rough Trade pressings)
- pretty much every Talking Heads album up to the mid-80s
- some Stones LPs, including a practically mint 60s copy of Let It Bleed on Decca
- Rough Trade press of Inflammable Material
- some other crap...

I know... And after all that fuss I made about us both getting Pink Flag and now I have Chairs Missing and 154 too. Unbelievably no Remain In Light in the box, but has a copy of '77. Some dross in there (Skids, loads of Simple Minds, Squeeze, late Undertones) - he said he found it in his loft, it was obviously an old owner's R-U box that he forgot to take. The records all look great too - hardly a mark on them... _________________ 'Reggae' & t'ing Folk 'n Stuff SHAMELESS RECORD DEALER PLUG

I was going to say I bet the dross is Simple Minds / U2 albums 😁 - now I'm old and don't have to be cool anymore I can actually say I really like New Gold Dream and quite enjoy Sparkle in the rain and Once upon a time (raises lighter into air as he types).
Just about to go charity shop digging now but might as well not bother as I reckon you may just have used up everyone's luck today.

All this makes me jealous. My coworker gave me a box of Elvis LPs and Box sets once. But nothing all that interesting just a lot of compilations. I love elvis so its not like i was pissed about it.
Congrats Jim! You have motivated me to associate my self with cooler and more generous people. (for my own personal benefit of course.) _________________

which i have been falling all over my self about recently.
I hadn't really thought about McMurtry in a couple years. His last studio album was 2008 and I wasn't a huge fan of it. But this album totally caught me by surprise and it has moved me to go back and re-listen to his stuff.
I encourage you to do the same. _________________

The ironic thing is that he's not cool in the slightest! Lovely guy, but he'd never even heard of half the bands whose records he gave me (sample quote - 'there's a lot of stuff by a band called Wire, one with a flag on the cover, probably worth owt').
Probably not the best time to tell y'all this is also on it's way to me...
