Some killer pick-ups today and a FANTASTIC PIF from our very own
@Thackeraye!
Ella Fitzgerald - Sings The Cole Porter Songbook Volume II (His Masters Voice, 1956 First UK Mono Pressing)
Billie Holiday With Ray Ellis And His Orchestra - Lady In Satin (CBS, 1960 Mono Pressing)
Louis Armstrong And His All-Stars - Satch Plays Fats (Columbia, 1955 First 6-Eyed Mono Pressing)
Jazz-Club - Piano (Verve Records, 1989 First Pressing)

The Sunset All Stars With Nat King Cole, Buddy Rich & Charlie Shavers - Anatomy Of A Jam Session (Black Lion Records/Polydor, 1971 Pressing)
Louis Armstrong - The Best Of Louis Armstrong - The Early Years (Parlophone, 1971 First Pressing)
The Modern Jazz Quartet - Fontessa (London Recordings, 1959 Mono Pressing)
Coleman Hawkins & Lester Young - Classic Tenors (Philips, 1971 Pressing)
Dolly Parton - Jolene (RCA Victor, 1974 First Pressing)
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison (Columbia, 1968 2-Eyed Stereo Pressing)
Lucky Thompson - Lucky Thompson (Society, 1963 Mono Pressing)
Quite the haul today and a perfect test for my new record bag! Some absolute gems in this bunch. Dolly Parton's Jolene is a guilty pleasure and I couldn't believe I found this minty first pressing for £1! I love Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (I have the RSD box) but have never found a first pressing in the wild, this and the Lucky Thomspon were £3 for the pair. After looking for Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Songbook for ages I ended up finding vol 2 last week......and an even better looking copy today! This, the Billie Holiday (another I have been after for ages) and Oscar Peterson were 50p each. The rest of the bunch were £1 each, so it's not been particularly heavy on the wallet.

Fontaines D.C. - Dogrel (Partisan, 2019 First Pressing)
Native by Akala
Monolith Audio Goat Hair Brush
I have to give a huge thanks to
@Thackeraye for this stunning PIF! I am new to Fontaines D.C. but have been streaming this album loads. I think I even prefer it to their new one! Can't wait to hear it on wax! I think the Natives book counts as being music-related? It's written by Akala (who is incredibly articulate and knowledgable) and has had rave reviews. Finally, the dumbfounded look my girlfriend gave me when I told her I had bought a goat hair brush was worth the purchase alone.
