If you're an avid collector of music like me, you'll probably have had that dream where you go into a record shop and you find loads of albums by your favourite artist that you've never seen before...

OK well it wasn't quite like that today but, look what I found on entering the Kingdom of Fopp...



Must be a wee bit shaky because I was so excited - a whole display featuring around 40 King Crimson and related titles...

It was a case of "got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got..." etc until around half way down where the wee voice in my head said "not got, not got..."

And so it was that four CDs (two of them 2CD sets) made their way into the collection - of course I already had "Exposure" but not the recent 2CD version - and the copy of "Level Five" I already had was one burnt from downloads with a home made cover...



As you'll see, there were more bargains to be had upstairs - a Gershwin 3CD set and a R Strauss 2CD set for just £2 each...

Aargh!

Elsewhere, a mail from old chum and comedian Jim Park - we will soon record his intro for this year's Fringe Show "The Silence of the Trams" - the intro for last year's "No Comedy for Old Men" was recorded a year ago tonight...

Back home to some lovely chilli from the Exec Producer followed by first in a new 4 parter of "Proof", then listeninmg to the new arrivals...

Noted today also that the footie career is almost definitely over...

Running, very slowly I might add, for around 20 yards for a bus scuppered my right knee...

Possible era ending scenario...

Great difficulty in getting off to sleep re the arm too...

What a wreck...

Highlight of the Day : Fopp's Crimso display...
