Blimey, the stuff that passes for matrimonial music these days. I went to a wedding on Saturday, a lovely do, and while I was expecting Daydream Believer and a selection from Grease, perhaps, the song played immediately after the happy couple’s first dance was this. Which filled the dancefloor and was highly refreshing. There was also The Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Show, which even I succumbed to. My own wedding didn’t have music, but my (deeply romantic) answerphone answered with this on the day. I’d be interested to hear about the unlikely songs you played at your wedding or heard at someone else’s: mail them in to at [email protected]. The best replies will appear here next week.
We’re trying to finish the next issue of the magazine, which will feature a special report on the 200 rarest records now – this time around there are a surprising amount of new entries in the list, drawn from the Rare Record Price Guide 2014. Over the years I have heard a certain amount of harrumphing about these lists, saying that most of these records barely exist or cannot be afforded. But these are the gold standard for our hobby, not the day-to-day items. And I am willing to bet that you own at least one or two of them if you are a serious collector, and many psych and prog fans will own more as these genres are at the heart of such lists. Me, I own three, and I have a label for one more! But I am determined to keep collecting… until I own at least four. Also coming up in the next issue: Bruce Foxton on The Jam and SLF, and Crosby, Stills and Nash, the interview, plus a whole heap more.
I’d best get on with it. Hope you have a great week, and happy record hunting.
Best Wishes,
Ian
