Hello, I hope all is groovy. It's pretty groovy here.
Quite a lot has happened (and is still happening) this week. First of all, Bedazzled is back in. New copies arrive today - this is the LP PLUS the CD of Pete and Dud Invite You To Hell. It can be found here. And a perfect accompanyment to this is the recent discovery (by our chums at Movietone News) of some super rare Pete And Dud footage on the set of said film - with Stanley Donen! It's ace and can be seen right here.
Carrying on our Eastern themed #50pFriday month today we have the very hard to find Ganimian And His Oriental Music LP. Famed for the Las Vegas / Titty Shakin' track "Take Me To The Casbah" (which was also issued as a 7") I first put this on iTunes back in 2013. There are 5 different version of the same album up there now. Bonkers. Anyway, it's here now for 50p.
And at last I now have Britxotica Goes East!!! It's out and everywhere at the end of the month but I have early copies here now. enough copies for all. The album includes 16 killer tracks all made here in the UK, but all heavily flavoured by sheiks, sphinxes, casbahs, kebabs, Turkish delight and more. There's even an absolute monster of a track featuring a kazoo. Yes, a kazoo. It gets no better, no more strangely British and the LP and download can be found here now. I love this album. It's hilarious, raving mad and possibly the most exotic LP ever to come out of the UK. So there. Hopefully by next week I can actually have a page up on the Trunk website all about it. And maybe post up the GPO Tower drawings I still have here too.
Strangely enough, I am now also heading East, to meet a gay man at the Spitalfields Record Fayre. Of course we shall be hunting out camp classics and anything on pink wax. I may now also have to go and buy a new computer as this old one refuses to charge and keeps turning off mid sentence.
Thanks for li
