So, you've got a shite car. What next then?...

[Cavcraft]

...shite music of course!Mrs Cavette (the scary one in the family) says it's clear out time and who am I to argue?Hence the disposal of some unrequired vinyl, and we're not talking Hillman Avenger 'Top Hat' roof covers here, oh no. We're talking some proper retro shite music. *Disclaimer: a fair chunk of these were her's so before you question my taste in music remember the crap ones were hers:Turtle Power: 'Partners in Kryme' 12" single.The Hits Album 8 lp: Various including Aztec Camera, Eight Wonder etc).Slade: Til Deaf Do Us Part lp.Adam Ant 'Friend Or Foe' lp: Note has stamp on rear of cover saying 'Property of CBS demonstration only. Not for sale'.Meatloaf 'Bat Out Of Hell' lp.Fleetwood Mac 'Tango In The Night' lp.Stevie Nicks 'the Other Side Of The Mirror' lp.Nomad 'Changing Cabins' lp (cracker that one, proper retro dance shizzles).Various 'Soft Metal' lp: includes such shite as Heart, Whitesnake, Starship etc. Ideal mood softener for when you get that bird from Woolworth's round to your house and try and get some fingers and tops with her because your mum and dad have gone out in their Montego Countryman estate.Various 'Massive' LP (Ace this one: has Snap, Blackbox, Shame, Tribe Called Quest etc).Sister Sledge 'Lost In Music' 12 inch single.Iron Maiden 'Piece Of Mind' lp.Blue Pearl' Naked in the rain' 12 single.Soul 11 Soul 'Volume 2' lp. Bit of class that: hit the dimmer switch, get the best afghan rug out, chill that 79p bottle of Asti Spewmanti and turn the fire up to three bars. Your bird will be in heaven as you horizontally jog to the soothing sounds of the rather delectable Karen Wheeler.I've also got another forty (at least) similary shite records here. All appear to be in A1 condition vinyl wise and in original covers. Offers please (I don't care too much and don't expect a fortune) for the lot or just the ones you fancy. Half of any proceeds to guide dogs for the blind and/or a children's charity.

It was a few years back but I remember French radio being some of the worst I ever heard. Isn't there some law that says 1 in 3 songs played must be home grown?

[Cavcraft]

HI M8 GOT NE KLF?

DO U DRIVE AND IZECREME VAN?Only on a compilation album of some sort I would have thought, can have a look though if wanted?

[Albert Ross]

Currently in my 89 Sapphire (on CD though) Dr Hook, Bjork, Vivaldi, Deep Purple, Hawkwind, Handel, Motorhead, Ian Dury, PWEI (Pop will eat itself), Cream, War Of The Worlds, Poulenc, Led Zep, Holst, and plenty other shit................................................

Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night-that brings back memories of the late '80s,driving round in various matt black Cortinas & Capris,mostly with short MOTs & no sills left

[Cavcraft]

Hey, let's get nostalgic. Billy Idol's 'White Wedding' reminds me of the days arsing about in my pre-airflow Consul Cortina 2 door with my then relatively new bird who's now my wife.

I have the follow up to that 'Its Grim Up North' on Now 20. It basically sounds like a man standing in his garage listing all the medium and large towns that he can think of that exist in northern England. Now that IS shite

Veronique Janot's "Un Aviateur" holds a a special place on my MP3 player, it was on the wireless all the damn time back in the summer of 88, ahh happy memories of me, an ADO16, a beach, a bottle of calvados and a girl called Susanne.....

[r.welfare]

I've got Shakatak's first ten albums (covering 1980-86 or so) on vinyl. Perfect for nighttime motorway driving.

Record player as standard??

[Richard]

Believe it or not, there have been car record players. They can't possibly have worked on the move though.

I'd love to see that, I have seen though, some 8-track cartridge players (Before my time though)

 

Lord Sterling

[Richard]

Here is one. It seems they were supposed to work on the move, but I bet they didn't.I always wondered what the 16rpm speed was for on record players, it seems it was for the 7" LPs that you could buy for these gadgets. Here is one working, playing Buddy Holly naturally.

[garycox]

Thay look ace, I want one of those!Every time I buy an old record player (a strangely frequent experience) i think 'WTF PLAYS AT 16RPM?!' and... er... now I know!I have never ever seen a 16RPM record though...

[fotorabia]

i was thinking of trying to squeeze either of these into the Viva...back seat passenger could DJ..perhaps...

 

the Aiwa blaster needs a fix up..but the Nat.Panasonic is fine n sounds real scratchy...

I've read that language lesson and spoken word discs were cut at 16RPM, but I've never ever seen one. Something to do with clarity of the words at that speed?Mark.

[fotorabia]

i'll have a coach with decks when Spiral Tribe showed up in Berlin 94 with the massive soundsystem we went down to meet them on No Mans land-Potsdammerplatz..and they had one of those ol 6 wheeler buses..the one with 4 steering wheels at the front...complete with huge icicles..that was the coolest bus ever..

The New Testament at 16RPM... Perfect for listening in the car! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/26-LOT-7-16RPM-RE ... .m63.l1177

Interesting to see that in the video for Aviateur the Patrouille de France aerobatic pilots arrive in the cool style of a Citroen AX.

Great piece of retro pop thanks Father Ted.

Owing to the non working standard fit audio n the Micra, I have this:

sticky-velcroed to the dashoard running off a small 12vDC to 240vAC inverter tuned mostly to Radio 7 or Radio 4 - it works a treat. The morning drive with some classic comedy (twas the navy lark yesterday) is reaxing as I pootle along at 50, the micra has yet to be taken over 60 for fear of the car shaking itself to death.

 

The wireless cost £15 the inverter was free.
