Nomads Bargain of the Week!

Really pleased that the Car Boot Sale is back at Rousden. Me and Mary are Boot fanatics, so much so that we've been travelling to Yeovil during the Winter, courtesy of Mike Finch. The Rousdedn Boot is the the social event of the week here in Lyme, and was good to meet so many friends this morning. I never go with the express idea of buying anything, and we both have different search items on the agenda. Mary seeks out clothes and DVD's, while my interest is gadgetry and CD's. It's a cheap morning out and aside from a burger and a black coffee, we don't spend much. Today was no different, but found a very nice chessboard and peices, all intact, wooden box etc, for £3! I was just about finished and about to stroll back to the motor when I found a whole stack of excellent CD's, all for around a £1 each, and in great condition. I used to think that you could get an insight into someones personality from their record collection, so if you want an insight into mine, heres a list of this mornings haul:
Ry Cooder: Bop Till You Drop. Fabulous guitar album from the master of slide guitar and movie theme tunes!
John Martyn: The Church with One Bell. Gotta be among the best acoustic players this country ever produced. Irresistable.
Randy Newman: Lonely at the Top. He writes these strange little songs, all with a moral or political sting in the tail, it's playing right now, hadn't heard it for years, was spinning on the deck the moment I got home.
Page & Plant: Walking into Clarksdale. I've seen this CD turning over quite expensively on eBay, was over the moon to get it for a quid. Reminds me we have 'Whole Lotta Led' booked for the Legends Return series at Woodmead, and if you can't have the real Led Zep, I don't mind follow ups or the best of imitations.
John Fogerty: The Long Road Home. A mix of great Creedence Clearwater songs, with a sprinkling of Fogertys solo work. Best played loud in headphones for full effect.
Leonard Cohen: Greatest Hits. OK, I know it's only a hits album, but all the old favourites are there, including my favourite Cohen song, 'Famous Blue Raincoat'.
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue. A real classic that I've been looking for for ages. Been thinking of it since Mark Foxhall Band played 'So What' at the first Legends gig.
ZZ Top: Eliminator. Classic, I'm saving this for a party night at home.
Melanie: 20 Greatest Hits. A great star of the SixtiesHer version of 'Ruby Tuesday' is better than the Stones original. Does anyone still remember her? She is in the UK this year, probably her last ever British Tour. We had an opportunity to book her for Woodmead, but she was just a little too expensive for us.
The New Bushbury Mountain Daredevils: Urban Hill Hillbilly. An unknown quantity this one, but I'll give it a whirl, and Mary loves those ringing American banjo's.
Bob Dylan: Blonde on Blonde. I already got this one, but I couldn't leave it there, and you've guessed it, i'm re-creating my vinyl collection in CD's. I might be old fashioned, but I don't do internet downloads, and I like to play the whole record.
So that it, a mornings stroll, now down to some serious Sunday work, which has to include some sitting on the porch, such a beautiful day here.
