Thrift Store LP o’ the Day: The Entertainers - Pubs, Pearlies & Pints (1964)

Recorded at the Waterman’s Arms, East London…with pub singers such as Kim Cordell and Sulky Gowers belting out numbers like “Maybe It’s Because I’m A Londoner,” “Hello! Who’s Your Lady Friend,” and “Put a Bit of Treacle On My Puddin’, Mary Ann.”

(Also featuring Pearly King George Hitchens and Bob “the Tray” Blackman, ‘whose act consists of banging his head with a tin tray while he sings “Mule Train” to the amazement and delight of the audience.’

I still have my lp collection from when I was a teenager....it's in the basement somewhere I think. I kinda miss those days.

btw JJ I like your new signature. I would love to read the whole poem.

Take a tip from me Georgia ... hang onto your vinyl collection. It will only increase in value. As we speak there are already moves afoot to re-introduce vinyl records.

Watch out for the poem ... it will be posted today!

Good timing of this.. I actually just got a new unit in my living room and have pulled out all my old albums and have them out again. Good to have them on display again. Planning on buying a turn table and all; like the good old days.

Good for you! I hate CDs cos unlike vinyl, you never know when the song is gonna start!

My kids are amazed with the album covers and like looking at them. Something you don't get from downloading..

I remember spending hours in record shops browsing through albums, some I bought just because I liked the covers

Exactly ... and then you found you had bought a crock ... Today it would probably be a collectors item.
