Saturday is, undoubtedly, the best day of the week...

Up early to podcast...


The views...




Some chat on Twitter about Steve Hillage - I got this 7" single free at Leith Town Hall in 1977...


A new 2CD set of 20th Century music arrived post a payment of just £1.42...

Fang liked it...


Listening today included some recently undertaken gap-filling of some not very good at the time but in hindsight, actually not too bad LPs bought 3 for a pound at Greyfriars market in 1978...

Breakfast at home...


...as was Fang making himself...


The squirrel too was breakfasting...


Out, noting the back garden blooms...



















An accidental shot or two taken while choosing music for the car...



To Davidson's Mains for a short trip - two shops visited, all these purchased...


...for £10...


Other listening in the back room included Rihm and Supertramp (kind of)...


...and at the computer but via the CD player there, these...


This was much enjoyed...


There's a lot of stuff on this Disco box with which I'm unfamiliar...


Here's the full haul...

Three Crowded House discs...




...and two by members/former members thereof...



Some Beethoven, featuring Anne's cousin on Bassoon...


The best of Stereophonics - I only really know "Dakota"...


A 3CD set that does what it says on the tin...


Erm, where's the CD Dave?


Ah yes, one of my least liked bands - but, you know, for 25p to make up the numbers?


Two sets of 2CDs of, in the main, very well known things - but a few leftfield choices made the total 50p outlay for the two worthwhile...



Again, one or two tracks justified the 25p...


Ditto...


This is probably one of the more interesting finds...


Erm..


...some lesser known things on this, originally, free CD...


This is OK - full of warhorses...


In the second shop, these...

I was sure I probably already had this but, I didn't - result...


Same with this...


I knew I didn't have this...


Or this - which isn't as "classical" as I imagined it would be...


No place for vocals in jazz mantra set aside for this one, mostly 1930's recordings but sound quality is excellent...


And the aforementioned disco discs...


Film music...


Mood music - including a Genesis track from "Selling England" I never thought I'd see on any "mainstream" compilation...


A lovely recital of Impromptus of which I, no doubt, already have some lovely recitals...


And, finally, this - which turned out not to have the CD i it - but in a couple of days' time, I downloaded the tracks, burned them to a CD-R and added to the empty box...

Lovely...


Elsewhere, some, obviously, ripping and listening, some "Better Call Saul" - a riceless tasty Indian takeaway and some football made for the rest of the day...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : It was Saturday...
