Today& #39;s lockdown clear-out joy.
32 7" singles that were mostly my mum& #39;s and my gran& #39;s. Dates from 50s-70s.
Pick a number between 1 - 32, I& #39;ll share the joys of your pick.
Warning, it& #39;s mostly going to be awful and some of the sleeves have been nibbled by mice.

Next up is #28 for @fi_fry, I think this is the most recent single here and was my aunt& #39;s. It was from a drama serial about David Lloyd George.

#2 picked by @BelfastHead who may regret deciding to play it on his show.
It& #39;s a various artists EP on Pye Records from 1966, this could have been either my mum& #39;s or my gran& #39;s. The lead track is Down Town by Petula Clark.

By the way, delays between tweets are due to making myself listen to all these.
#27 picked by @iDigCornwall is the only flexi in the pile.
It& #39;s a Reader& #39;s Digest advertising disc called Excerpts from Your 101 Favourite Melodies, trying to persuade me to buy a whole set of LPs. Wow. That must have been my gran& #39;s.

I have to steel myself to play #24, picked by @Bubblenoma as this isn& #39;t an artist I like.
It& #39;s Rainy Days And Mondays by The Carpenters from 1971 on A&M. Another of mum& #39;s and caked in grime.
Oh and I forgot to change the speed back to 45 rpm in classic John Peel style.

Rather embarrassed by #1 picked by @themikeslattery, as it& #39;s by an artist whose reputation has become less than savoury.
The Weathermen - It& #39;s The Same Old Song from 1970, basically Jonathan King doing a bad Four Tops cover, actually sounds like 1982 Dexys. Mum& #39;s again.

Dragging myself away from the Highlands, it& #39;s quite the contrast for #23, picked by @MickieAutumn.
