Another album I would have been convinced I had from my youth but was mistaken. Now (re)purchased and now playing is this wonderful compilation - New Wave. A bargain at £2.45…..if only. @notoldjustexper1.bsky.social @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social - ThreadSky

Ooh, a Brio. Buy a phono stage, the integrated one hardly aspires to crap status. The P2 deserves better.

Glad it's not just me with vinyl amnesia...

therealskeneo.bsky.social•48 days ago

There are loads that I’ve bought in the last few months that I’ve bought ’again’ but I’m convinced I already had them. Strange.

neiltlinford.bsky.social•48 days ago

A couple of years ago I wanted to buy a copy of Paul Hardcastle's "Nineteen" for my Godson's birthday... couldn't believe my luck finding a copy for 50p but then having to buy a copy of a LP I knew already owned to make it up to the minimum for the card machine...

Haha…modern life sucks sometimes, eh ?

Love your display!

I have this one, somewhere

johnnydefault.bsky.social•48 days ago

Some gems on that one Colin

therealskeneo.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yes, it seems to be quite iconic.

inselaffe.bsky.social•48 days ago

My first comp. Played to death at the time. Shake Some Action is still in my top 10 tunes ....memories 🙌

therealskeneo.bsky.social•48 days ago

It’s a great compilation. Happy days.

tb8114.bsky.social•48 days ago

Great compilation, lots of seminal bands, I know I bought it when it came out, but where is it now?

therealskeneo.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yeah, it’s great. I feel your pain.

wildr.bsky.social•48 days ago

Interesting.... But a bit Yank centric I thought at the time.
Also, best track on it (Shake Some Action) not at all punk!

therealskeneo.bsky.social•48 days ago

Definitely US flavoured. Just had a look on Wiki to see what that was all about. Thought Boomtown Rats were a bit of an outlier as well.

wildr.bsky.social•48 days ago

Are there any Brit Punks on it apart from the Damned?
Little Bob Story French I think?
Most tracks fabulous.

therealskeneo.bsky.social•48 days ago

Doubt you could call Boomtown Rats British, but close neighbours….the Wiki entry for the album is insightful.

muppeto64.bsky.social•46 days ago

Picked this one up today at QMU record fair in Glasgow.

therealskeneo.bsky.social•46 days ago

Great find 👍

scotspostpunk.bsky.social•49 days ago

A vital compilation, Colin!

therealskeneo.bsky.social•49 days ago

Absolutely 👍

davidthedave.bsky.social•48 days ago

I definitely, absolutely have that album... somewhere

therealskeneo.bsky.social•48 days ago

I was also convinced I had it.

buzboy.bsky.social•49 days ago

Essential

jm60.bsky.social•49 days ago

I bought it back in day and for the rest of my life I’ve wondered who Skyhooks were…🤔🤷‍♂️

chopper32.bsky.social•49 days ago

I think I bought this in 1-Up on George Street for 50p.
Essential.

therealskeneo.bsky.social•49 days ago

Happy days having multiple outlets to purchase your music from. 1-Up was great. Shame they didn’t survive a few more years to benefit from the current uptick in vinyl interest.

chopper32.bsky.social•49 days ago

I spent many an hour there.
Great place.
