Up to do the podcast, like every Saturday...


..but helped today by Luna...




I included my top 5 LPs of 1980...



More help from Luna...



...later soundtracked by chance by Eno...


Anne was preparing a big breakfast rather than us going out...









Yum...


Meanwhile, Luna was trying to have a second breakfast...



Out around 10, both of us with targets - Anne down to the foot of the hill, me into town to meet up with Dr Prog for a Record Fair...

Despite all these...


...and these...


...I ended up buying 3 LPs, the music on which I already have and one of which I bought on vinyl just 16 days ago...

We left and walked to Tollcross, where some charity shop buys were made...

Lunch and chat...







I opted for granola with coconut yoghurt...


Phil tried to get the waitress into Mussorgsky's "Pictures At An Exhibition" - I think he may have succeeded...

After a good hour in the place, we said our goodbyes and I walked to Greyfriars...


...where all of these were eschewed...





...before making my way down to the Grassmarket...


The beast was walking around looking for CDs he did not need...







None was found - so, on, past the castle, to the car...


...and home to peruse, listen etc...

Another copy of this - today's, however, with a booklet and half the previous price...






It seems the former owner was trying to work something out but failing to remember there are 60 seconds in a minute, not 100...


A record first bought in 1975, 2nd hand and, at the time, reeking of incense...


This one though, has a huge mark on track one, causing multiple jumps...


Nice to have again though...



Of the three, this was probably in the best nick...


However, loadsa surface noise between tracks and a reasonable amount of annoying sibilance...




Later, cleaning out the socket in the iPhone again...


Luna and Anne were relaxing...


The wine received a few weeks ago, for being with The Man from outset, was enjoyed...


...with sea bass fillets...



As Anne watched "Striclty", I ripped the two CD purchases I'd made - I'd been convinced I already had both but, it turned out I had neither...



Then, to work on the stems of the three remixes Edward Spark has chosen to release...


...sending them over to him before close of play...

A reasonable Saturday...

Highlight of the Day : Dr Prog meet...
