One of the things I think is important if you are involved in the sheer madness of buying records (and I know you are) is not to fall into the trap of spending silly money on so called rare records that you don’t really love anyway. We’ve all done it. More importantly for me is finding the forgotten b side on a cheap record. There’s plenty of amazing records out there for only a couple of quid if you do a bit of digging that blows any rare african synth private press b-side out of the water. Although if you have a copy of that private press hit me up and maybe we can do a swap!

Below are five that I picked at random from my records that are ‘common as muck’  and all available for only a couple of quid.
