A few months back, my Dad gave me his old crates of 45” records.
Most mornings, I randomly choose one and pop it on for a listen before work.
There’s great stuff in there. It’s mainly all American soul music, but there’s a couple of random Rod Stewart and Phil Collins releases too. Those will be Mum’s.
A lot of the records are quite crackly now. Some of the worn sleeves have my parents’ initials on them as they’d get taken along to house parties.
On the week my Dad turns 60, I’ve begun this Tumblr to share the tunes I find and dance along to before starting my day.
