Vintage Swag: Flea Market Finds

Bottles, Cans, Boxes, Tubes & TOM JONES!

Ahhh... The spoils of a day at my favorite Pennsylvania flea markets.

Vinyl Therapy: The War On Drugs & Goldfrapp

Graphics from the 2011 "Slave Ambient" double LP by The War On Drugs.

This is an album I've been enjoying for quite a while.  Its release was followed by a great show at The Hammerstein Ballroom in the Summer of 2010. (Clicking the "Goldfrapp" tag below should bring you to those photos).  

I didn't purchase the vinyl of this gem until recently, however... and I am very glad that I did.  These images show the gatefold sleeve of the Vinyl-CD-Poster pack for "Head First", which was the band's send up of all things late disco and early 80s pop.  Think FM radio 1981, with a little bit of balladry and a few more ambient sounds thrown in.

Vinyl Therapy: Amy Winehouse, Handsome Furs & The Drums

Amy Winehouse's third and final (posthumous) vinyl LP from 2011. 

Handsome Furs' 2011 colored vinyl (with postcard) LP "Sound Kapital" 

The Drums' 2011 vinyl LP "Portamento"

1960s Vinyl: Valley Of The (Singing) Dolls

Three recent flea market finds from the 1960s: 

Two LPs accredited to the Heidi Doll and one to the Tammy Doll.  

Interesting pieces of early character marketing and cross-promotion.

I bet a lot of little girls (and a few conflicted boys) just ate this up.

VInyl Therapy: 1980s Singles & LPs

1980s LPs and 7" singles:  Finds of mine from here and there (with some yard sale treasures from my pal Janie).  

Vinyl Therapy: 1958 - 1973

Recent acquisitions... Six degrees of HELL YES.
