........bargain buy too !!

^ Only 2 or 3 times a year. Keeps me busy for months !!
BTW, I've never seen so many near-mint originals on labels like Neon, Vertigo swirls, Decca and Dawn. This guy left his several hundred vinyl collection with a good mate of mine when he decided to move back to the U.K. around 5 years ago. I selected the titles, made an offer by e-mail, he was more than happy to part with the lot for $650 Aussie dollars !! Happy days, I tell ya' !! I saved hard......

Ordered the new Blanck Mass album World Eater. Can't wait to hear it! (At least while we're waiting on the next F*ck Buttons release )

Other new acquisitions:
Edgar Froese - Macula Transfer (mellotron heaven)
Richard Pinhas - Dronne
Shiggajon - Sela
Matmos - Supreme Balloon
Maxophone - s/t

That Budgie album 'In For The Kill' is a killer !! Could be my fave from them - until now, I hadn't heard it since 1988 !! Generally, Budgie albums aren't really expensive, but very difficult to come by here, especially in beautiful condition.
Oh, he had the original Polydor release of Twink's Think Pink album too - can go for upwards of a Grand !! The stuff he had aside in boxes that he didn't want to part with was enough to make any vinyl head drool. Definitely a case of " right place, right time ".
