Three CDs: The Lijadu Sisters - Afro-Beat Soul Sisters, Bettye Lavette- Nearer To You and CMAT - Euro-Country
I've started dabbling with Vinted as a place to buy music. Apart from the terrible choice of delivery company, it's been going quite well. Two of these were still sealed. Thanks to @maffrj.bsky.social for the encouragement to buy the Lijadu Sisters comp - it's 🔥
For me?
What's the Lijadu Sisters one like Matt? I was looking at a cheap copy of that only yesterday
Four CDs: Deluxe 2 disc edition of Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams, Signify by Porcupine Tree, Cajun Conja by Beausoleil and Songs and Instrumentals by Adrienne Lenker
Chazza spoils from this week (details in alt text)
A photo of a green hillside with a blue sky above, reminiscent of the default Windows XP desktop
I went for a walk yesterday. It was good to touch base with Windows XP again
Wow, that Lilac Time reissue 😍
A CD called Uptown Rulers! The Meters Live On The Queen Mary with a £4 Cancer Research UK price sticker on the front
It's ages since I have had any chazza buys to post but when a live album by the Meters recorded at a party on the Queen Mary hosted by Paul and Linda McCartney to celebrate the launch of Venus & Mars turns up - well, I am not going to leave that behind, am I?

Flooded fields under a leaden sky, a scene that could be the Somerset Levels
“Heavy rains that often fall in February have flooded the low-lying meadows in the broad valley.”
‘What to Look for in Winter’, 1959
Artist: CF Tunnicliffe
Writer: EL Grant Watson
An etching of a wide flat landscape under stormy skies. On a slope a Shepherd surveys his flock while overhead a hawk soars through the rain clouds.
Other work of the Ladybird artists.

Ah, this was the sound of my uni days. Happy memories. Great find. This and I Believe In Miracles by the Jackson Sisters.
With a concerted effort and a much improved bid, I don't think it's too late for Fulham to beat Channel 4 to the signing of Nigella Lawson #ffc #coyw
Aw Moose, I am so sorry. Sending you my best wishes

Wait. What? Your poinsettia is still alive??!!
The album Gets/Gilberto #2 by Stan Getz-Joao Gilberto Recorded Live at Carnegie Hall on Verve. The cover features an abstract painting by Olga Alzibu with splashed of black and yellow paint on a green background.
The seasonally appropriate album Jesus Was A Capricorn by Kris Kristofferson with Kris and his buddies posing on the front with lots of denim, boots and big shades on view
I have opted out of #VinylSanta this year but my local BHF served up these two beauties this morning so I am going to imagine a stranger sent them to me. Good luck to everyone participating this evening and may your parcels contain treasures that are smack bang in your wheelhouses 🎅🏻
The album Wired To The Moon by Chris Rea. The cover features a rudimentary drawing of a planetary mobile with a red star, blue moon and yellow sun.
This album was my introduction to Chris Rea. Glastonbury '84 the sound engineers played this on repeat between the acts on the Pyramid Stage
The sleeve of Chris Rea's debut album Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? propped in a Now Playing stand. On the cover Chris is staring intently into the camera wearing a leather jacket and a slightly incongruous multicoloured knitted woolly scarf
Remembering Chris and manifesting safe travels for my daughter and anyone else who is driving home for Christmas
It wasn't a magnificent spectacle. It had 0-0 written all over it
Shouldn't there be a bath in it somewhere?
