Great stuff from the Telegraph. archive.ph/r2nTA
A 29-year-old woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said the high levels of unemployment were “noticeable” in the area.
“When you go into Somali town, as we call it, you just see people outside in the cafes,” she said, gesturing down the road, before adding: “It annoys me, they are loitering around and doing nothing.”
Addressing her own career path, the 29-year-old said: “I can’t work at the moment because of my mental health. Of course I want to work, I went to uni and studied English Literature for two years. I want to be a writer.”

The sentence looks lenient. The price of vinyl these days, he's potentially made millions. I bet he'll be tempted to start up again when he's released

More and more I can tell when stock has been picked through thoroughly either before it's been put out or very soon after so the second one. There's slightly more chance of getting lucky at a dump shop or yard/jumble sale

3 for 20 Euros from a stall at Blois market today. I am trying not to buy more compilation albums but the track listing on 'Black Flash' was too intriguing #FunkSky #SoulSky
20 Originals of David Crosby and Graham Nash. The cover features a terrible painting of the two of them. The album is 2 for 1 compilation of If Only I Could Remember My Name (Crosby) and Songs For Beginners (Nash)A Yugoslavian pressing of the Jungle album by Dwight Twilley. Dwight is photographed on the cover leaning on an American mail box.A compilation album called Black Flash with the subtitle 29 x Super Soul. The cover features a somewhat lurid image of some of the featured artists.The reverse of the Black Flash album with black and white photos of the artists and the track listing which features tracks by Bobby Womack, Z.Z. Hill, Odia Coates, Vernon Burch, Lea Roberts, amongst others.
