Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 2hI've got this comp from 1997 and every track is a banger. 010
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I put a copy out in the racks for £4.99 and thought that was asking a bit much for a stinker of an album. Some nutter bought it anyway. 100
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The spoils of this week’s Oxy shift. Bottom row is Living in the Past, Eloise, Both Sides Now, Let there be Drums 030
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Is it just me (quite possible - I'm full of snot) or are all the records only coming out of the right channel this morning? 100
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 03/10/2026£1 sevens from The Next Chapter, the indie Chazza which used to be Oxfam. Botton row is Gibson Brothers, John Kongas Step On and Minnie Ripperton Loving You 010
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Just picked the last of mine, a few greenish ones are turning orange on the kitchen windowsill. 110
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ran out of Sudafed so popped to H’don. I don’t really agree with Guilty Pleasures as a concept but I did go to the club night in the 90s. It is just my singles collection minus the ABBA. 000
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I will have to put a dish up if they do scrap Freeview, as our rural broadband is often too flaky for iPlayer. Galling, as I can see Sandy Heath transmitter out of the upstairs windows. 000
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Well, no. He obviously didn't become a Colonel until he joined the army, or it would be like naming your newborn Police Constable Ramon. 100
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Was a whole crate of classical stuff, about which I know very little. I said "Put everything out at a couple of quid, any serious collectors will offer you more if they think it is worth it." First customer took two Jaqueline de Pré LPs up to the counter and paid £20 over asking price. "Told you!" 041
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My first day as an Oxfam volunteer. I came home with some records - everything 99p. Top left is a sleeveless Swimming Horses by Siouxsie and the Banshees. 330
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 27/09/2026More "are you fund-raising or running a museum?" 010
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 27/09/2026There's a copy of this in the local chazza racks for 25 quid. I bet it is still there. 110
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have lots of similar(ly crap) showbiz anecdotes. Want to know who dropped a Marathon bar on my car seat, or who wore my woolly hat onstage at Warwick Arts centre? Publishers: speak to my agent. 110
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I used to meet post-Blow Monkeys Dr. Robert in the lunchtime Post Office queue when he lived, and I worked, near Duxford. 150
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 26/09/2026While Mrs F was looking at handbags, I popped over the road to Sue Ryder. 000
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I didn't see any of it as I was busy having a real life yesterday. Back to normal today, though. 000
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 25/09/2026“A wanker posted this” refers to himself I think. 110
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I like binary - it is how this I am posting this over the internet. Probably a point missed by fucking idiots like him. Now you've got me doing it. 010
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It was a bit late for me, as I sat my last exam in 1991, but as of 2005, Kate Bush can teach you Pi. 3.1415926 etc. Handy stuff if you ever have to work out the circumference of a circle. 010
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Heaven 17 taught me that 17 is half of 37. Despite that, I managed to pass my O-level Maths. Pretty much everything I know is from pop music, or books about pop music - I have a one-track mind... 110
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The only National album I like - yeah, I know, my loss. I much preferred The Dawn Chorus who apparently sounded just like The National (although not to me). 000
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Yeah... I'm going to pop in once a week or so, everything is going to be priced to sell: a quid or two, with rare stuff maybe up to a fiver. Unlike the 'expert' at the St Ives shop who has priced this £2 (tops) Orange Juice single at £5.99 - I had quite a 'discussion' with them last week. 010
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Had to drop a mattress at the tip and pick up some bubbly from Waitrose, and noticed that Oxfam had reopened after five months. In other news, I am now their new volunteer music pricer. 140
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The two saints (Ives and Neots) chazza roundup. Shirley smells like she has been in a shed since 1958. 020
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Stephen Tin Tin Duffy rarity spotted in Sue Ryder this morning 111
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Yeah, my 10-y-o VW Golf doesn't but wife's and daughter's cars do - I have to remember to pull the lever. The campervan, when it arrives, will have an automatic gearbox and an electric handbrake - it might as well drive itself! 010
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Yeah, apparently 16-year-old Fiat 500s had CD players, but no aircon. 110
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 16/09/2026First-world problems: woken before sunrise. By a pair of owls in the oak tree outside the bedroom window. "Twit"... "Twoo"... etc for half an hour or so. Tired, but happy... 040
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Including the doubles/trebles. So that soul collection is 62 tracks for 20p, or 0.32p each. Beat that, iTunes. 120
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Daughter’s driving practice took us to Huntingdon yesterday. 5 CDs for a quid in the Volunteer centre, 3 for £1 in BHF 250
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 15/09/2026There are two S P somethings round here, S P Drive and S P Lane. I live on one, I reckon 25% of my packages are delivered to the other, and vice-versa. It's one way to meet other residents, I suppose... 110
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Just looking at it makes me need an afternoon nap. 010
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I played this out at the primary school fete on Friday. A big hit with the under-12s. 030
Steve Fenton @fentonsteve.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I can believe that. My experiment with a warped Julian Cope 12" in a greenhouse, sandwiched between two glass chopping boards, under a pile of bricks, thermometer reading about 45C: nothing - still warped. Black vinyl apparently needs at least 50C to start going soft. 110
