hello I hope all is groovy. Pretty groovy here although I have a cold, and have had it since Monday. As a result I have eaten many lemons which have not helped at all.

So, lots going on all of a sudden. I think it's the festive season starting way to early.

First up, the 50p Friday offering. The rare wax recordings of Alessandro Moreschi, the last castrato. Moving, odd, unbelievably tragic. Here for 50p.

Secondly, I have just taken delivery of Rare Record Pop Trumps. After years of thinking about it I finally got on with it. I've made just 1000 sets of this groovy Trump card game with the help of Ian Shirley from the RRPG (Rare Record Price Guide). The pack consists of 55 cards featuring some of the rarest UK pressed records, from Darryl Banks to Banksy, from The King to Queen. Folk, jazz, rock, prog, pop, punk and more, and from £500 to £15,000. I was going to save them for my Christmas mailings in December but they have started to sell already because Mr Divine who art directed them stuck them on Instagram this week and I sold 200 packs in two days. So I'm now telling my mailing list while there are still some for sale. These perfect little stocking fillers can only be found and bought here and they cost so much to make that they will never get made again.

Also, there is a smattering of Sainsbury's Own label prints now available including a cat food one. These were commissioned and made for the Design Museum Own Label Exhibition recently. I only have a handful of each design and they will not be remade. They can be found here.

There are some new sweatshirts too (tee shirts in two weeks, apparently). These new sweatshirts have library music designs or Atomage designs. All very limited, just 20 of each. The first batch of "Reggae For Real" sweatshirts I made a couple of weeks ago (in bottle green) all sold before they even got to Ye Olde Trunk shoppe. All new sweatshirts can be found here.

On Sunday 23rd I am playing library records with Martin Green AND Fraser Moss, head designer at YMC and one of the earliest library music collectors from the 1990s. He has great records. Spiritland South Bank, 1pm to 6pm, all free. And next Saturday is the Indy Label Market in Kings Cross where I will have the new Trunk LPs for sale (and some old stuff too, and some Trumps). All new Trunk releases will be for sale, on line a few days after that.

And finally, here is a link to The Hustle. It's "a shining disco symphony for the dark days of Brexit". Well someone was bound to do it.

I'm now off to finally start getting all ready for the big Wrappers Delight mail out. The books were supposed to be here this week but have not arrived, but I still have to get everything else all ready to go. I then have to put a suit on and compere at the annual Production Music Awards. I have not prepared an opening speech because last year I did and no one listened.

Thanks for listening

Jonny
