Whilst cleaning some more vinyl today I came across these 3 in quick succession. A coloured disc, a picture disc, and a shaped picture disc. No prizes for working out what they are as it's written on the labels :lol: I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was always a right PITA to make the picture discs as the press had to be cleaned after each record - no idea if that's right or not though 8-[

Only ever came across one picture disc, one of my brother's collection, can't remember the name of the artists, no doubt something obscure and psychedelic. Thought it might have been Principal Edwards Magic Theatre, it wasn't from what I could find on the net. Strange that all these years later I still remember the awful Kettering Song from that album. In the spoiler, maybe best left there :-D

Shutter clickers absent today, but always welcome.

There isn't an easier thread to join in with.

So back to https://www.random.org/ and the archives...Up comes page 314, so a biased selection from that page will be made by yours truly.

Regards Neil

Well thats a couple to amuse and entertain us, anyone else got anything to throw into the mix?
While we wait, another one I stumbled across via "On Your Bike". One for the POTD red clocks list from over on the "Continent". I know where it is , the city, but not what is the name of the building.

The only picture I have taken today, or at least one of two that are very similar.

I did find one to complement one of your earlier ones, the furrows and mounds one, but finding it again has proved impossible.

The "That's" tape was the nearest thing to hand to prop up the silicone tape. Been here for probably three decades, unopened.
Still procrastinating on whether to get the tape deck serviced.

I have tape measures here too and coincidentally just been looking up the diamond markings on them.
I was vaguely aware of what they were all about but wanted to confirm.

I think I still have a couple of tape decks in the loft. Far too good to 'get rid of', but no idea what else I'm going to do with them :lol:

I dug mine out recently and all the lights work, the motors turn but the capstans don't.
May have to do some dismantling, in a year or two.

I have a very old one, about 1952 or earlier reckon.

I bought a similar one new in 1954 from 'Premier Radio' in Fleet street and it was slightly later than this one which I had given to me.

One from Geograph's Showcase gallery this morning. Taken 63 years ago.
'Deltic' at Harringay West station<br />View eastward from the platform, ECML. This was the impressive prototype, No. DP1, of the English-Electric/Napier 3,300 hp Co-Co express locomotive (later Type 5, Class 55), on trial on the ECML in 1959, well before the class began regular service between King's Cross and Edinburgh in 1963, ousting the Gresley A4 steam locomotives. (Finsbury Park Diesel Depot had not been built, so Hornsey Depot had to service the 'Deltic, and later the other early Diesels). 'Deltic' is preserved in the National Collection at NRM, Shildon.

They have got them in Yorkshire now, as I have seen on the Hairy Bikers Go North, and maybe a couple of other programmes recently. :-D
