Here is my annual plea! I've written 6 books, including three novels. I've just paid the publishing management fee to keep my novels in print for another year. So if you want a book for your holiday, why not try one of my novels? (Vanishing Point is best!) www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Chris...

Can’t think why Ariana Grande wants a break from all the attention. This on sale is a Co Op in Cornwall

Bought a lovely collection yesterday. I’ve priced some of the best albums, but not had a chance to bag and tag it yet. A discerning regular customer is one of the first to arrive at the stall, and i give him first dibs #sellingvinyl

I’m playing Katy Lied by Steely Dan. Chaps comments on it, and I suggest that they had the worst album covers of any of the great bands. He tells me this cover is of a ‘katydid’ in reference to the album title #sellingvinyl

I’m #sellingvinyl at Windmill Hill City Farm today. Got some lovely stock, including this box set of Kate Bush rarities

A couple of years ago we stayed at a hotel near San Diego where I was speaking at a conference. We drove round the area, exploring. This is a church we passed. It had a barrier over the driveway entrance, with armed security guards.

Giving this a spin for my #SundayMorningMusic. Forgot just how affecting Leader Of The Pack is! But Remember (Walking In The Sand) is the standout track I reckon

I’m #sellingvinyl at market today. Couldn’t help notice this lady’s tattoos. Turns out she has Ian Brown and Amy Winehouse as well!

Mrs B has got me watching Rivals. Rupert Cameron Black is a particularly striking character

Bit of EBTG for my #SundayMorningMusic. A favourite for 2 reasons. It includes The Night I Heard Caruso Sing, one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. And my brother worked on the album (assistant engineer).

I’m at Tobacco Factory Sunday market today #sellingvinyl. Got a rather lovely of The Fall’s Live At The Witch Trials in my stock. Come on, you know you want to…

Dad comes into my stall area, with two boys aged around three and four behind him. They clasp their hands over their ears to block out the Bob Marley and the Wailer‘s Live album I’m playing, and run away. #SellingVinyl

Chap compliments my hat. He has one, never seen anyone wearing one. I say I got mine in Copenhagen. He says he got his in Prague. We call it a draw. #sellingvinyl

There can’t be too many things to do that are more joyful than sitting in the conservatory with my lovely wife, rain gently pattering on the roof, drinking tea and listening to records. This marvellous album by Cherry Ghost is the latest on the turntable. #SundayMorningMusic

Bought this recently, gorgeous live album from 70s Curtis Mayfield #SundayMorningMusic

When I was a student (long time ago now!) JJ Cale was my go-to #SundayMorningMusic. This is a late period album, but sounds just as great as his earlier stuff. All down to his meticulous engineering of his own material

Took this from an art gallery in Hakone. Strong recommendation

I am sitting in my conservatory having my breakfast while watching the long tailed tits at my bird feeders having theirs. Two squirrels run across the back fence and over to my neighbours' gardens. The soundtrack is Plight & Premonition by Sylvian and Czukay.

I'm playing Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas. A fellow stallholder comes over and says "I've got a present for you!". #sellingvinyl

This is more like it. Starting to experiment with production, different instrumentation, and some heartbreaking lyrics. Not surprising that Pet Sounds would soon follow. #SundayMorningMusic

Chris Budd @stuffer.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Okay, this is terrible. The contractual obligation album. #SundayMorningMusic

Chris Budd @stuffer.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Having a Beach Boys morning. I love Pet Sounds, of course, but there’s a bunch of other albums around that time I’ve never dug into. All with a luscious Sunday morning sound. #SundayMorningMusic

A chap buys a copy of The Beatles Yellow Submarine. Then shows us his arm! He says it’s ok if I share it with you #sellingviny

I need a break from free jazz! This album is gorgeous and soothing #SundayMorningMusic

Picked this up yesterday. One of the joys of running a record stall is that I buy albums blind and if I don’t like them, I sell them. A jazz compilation from an Italian label. Three discs, having done one side, it might be a little far out for my taste #SundayMorningMusic

Chris Budd @stuffer.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Early start for my #SundayMorningMusic. Dr. John has long been a favourite since a mate had a cassette of In The Right Place when I was a student. He made a lot of albums, but this was a really strong late one.

Very much enjoying the Goodstock conference at the wonderful @stgeorgesbris.bsky.social, all about ethical and sustainable investing

Second spin for this, loving it. Feeling Strangely Fine was one of my favourite albums of the 90s #saturdaymorningmusic

A young Asian man takes a picture of my wall and tells me he’s going to listen to them all because I must like them so much to hang them up. He’s got quite the musical ride coming!! #sellingvinyl

A music recommendation from my #SundayMorningMusic. In Search Of Amelia Earhart by Plainsong. This is a new album to me, and I’m loving it. Think: early Neil Young, or Easy Chair by The Byrds, but British.
