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

The Troggs - The Raver from October 1970 on Page One Records.
Reckon this was my mum's.

Next up is #28 for @fi_fry, I think this is the most recent single here and was my aunt's. It was from a drama serial about David Lloyd George.
Ennio Morricone – Chi Mai from 1981, on BBC Records & Tapes

Next it's #14 for @johnnieplant
Trash - Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight from 1969 on The Beatles' Apple label. This one has been nibbled. Definitely my mum's.

Got a French import at #8 for @Darrellmitch73, had to dig out the adapter for the centre.
It's songs from Le Roi et Moi from 1960. This was my gran's.

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

Next up is #15, @LandshippingMu1's pick.
Paper Sun by Traffic from 1967, nice pink Island label. Mum's again, really needs a good clean!

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's a Reader'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's.

I have to steel myself to play #24, picked by @Bubblenoma as this isn't an artist I like.
It's Rainy Days And Mondays by The Carpenters from 1971 on A&M. Another of mum's and caked in grime.
Oh and I forgot to change the speed back to 45 rpm in classic John Peel style.

Going funky(ish) with #17, picked by @PhilKooky.
Johnny Johnson & His Bandwagon – (Blame It) On The Pony Express from 1970, on Bell Records. Another of mum's.

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

Thanks to @pkrpmusic for picking #7, the oldest so far and one of my gran's. Ready for a dance?
Dance With Jimmy Shand (No. 2) - Jimmy Shand and his Band, from 1957. No more rock'n'roll for you.

Dragging myself away from the Highlands, it's quite the contrast for #23, picked by @MickieAutumn.
Johnny Nash – Falling In And Out Of Love from 1971 on MAM Records. Funky-reggae-pop.
