On now: ancient #vinyl on a fettled record player, rawer and better than ever.

Speed & Power mag #37 Nov 1974 (10p) article on TSR.2. Enjoyed seeing it @cosfordairshow recently. Found every issue of S&P in my loft. Had centrefold aircraft posters on my bedroom walls. @CcibChris @BlickyIan @ron_eisele

Whenever you were 17, that was the best year for music. #TOTP Skids, Gloria Gaynor, Queen, Chic, BGs. I rest my case.

I hink at’s somewoay up ahin Keith.

Did at ane at the Moray n Banff Festival with the squeel fan a wiz a barn. A wiz better at the Doric than e Engleesh anes so A swappit ower.

Obscure but good Christmas #vinyl This copy was literally a Christmas present from a band member, bought at auction a couple of years ago.

Vinyl from 1963, mellow, played on 6 record players: bulky 50s radiogram; 60s radiogram, spindly legs; 70s Hitachi music centre; two 80s turntables - Dual CS 505-1 & Rega Planar 3; now on a Linn LP12. Trip down the decades with fond memories of 5 generations past and present.

Or indeed Brava. Liked my Tipo 1.6

High St rebranding: Alias WH Smith and TH Jones

And a steam herring drifter

In #doric Sots fishermen called them lowper dowgs - jumping dog(fish)

My granfather aince said, “We hed a dowg the very marrys o that.” #hopeman #doric. (Marrys = identical)

Had an 850 GLT 2.5 10v manual this colour but beige interior, tidy

Quite enjoyed a couple of Genesis albums today, Trick of the Tail 1976 but preferred And Then There Were Three 1978 which I knew well courtesy of Rob Mustard when it came out. Fine for a sleety, fluey day.

Frankie Valli sang: “An the nicht begins tae birl yir hade aroon.”

Diane, aye, that’s a better wye tae pit it. I eest tae say at the squeel, “hye, min, yer pints is lowse.”

International Cat Day is not to be sneezed at.
