7th September there is a "vide-greniers" in Ravières - literally "empty the attics", it's where all the people in the village sell the second hand stuff they no longer need

@samy & I have a load of old records we acquired here, most of which we've never listened to

In this thread - spread over the next week using tag - we'll photograph the record cover, and link to the song on Youtube, and judge if we keep it or sell it at the vide-greniers

Ferry Aid (Various Artists)
Let It Be

Given this is a UK charity record - for the Herald of Free Enterprise accident en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Heral - I am not sure how this ended up in Ravières!

It might have had a purpose but it’s a messy cover. SELL

@samy "Is he polyamorous, or is he Sie-sing on this record?" 😀

Dave is so damned slow you’d have fallen asleep before falling in love with him…

The B side - Le Palmier du Pauvre - is better, so it's KEEP

So #MysteryVinyl is back this evening!

Follow along for an eclectic mix of mostly French music @samy and found in the shed here in Ravières

One single, one post. Artist, title, pic of the cover, and a link to the song on Youtube

And - importantly - if we KEEP or SELL the vinyl

And if we're getting rid of it, and you want it, reply and we'll keep it for you - the best deals for Mastodon followers! 😀

Frédéric Monteil
Adiós, Fräulein

This is a very bizarre sax - organ - Star Trek sounds - suggestive lyrics combo in multiple languages. It's so weird it's KEEP I think. @samy thinks it's so bad it's SELL

Edit: B-side is terrible, so that tips it into SELL

@samy was getting angry before this one was out of the sleeve 😀

Modern Talking
Cheri Cheri Lady

Ooof, this is horrid. SELL

(Quite important: we can annoy the Germans as well by not liking this, having previously annoyed the French by getting rid of chanson singles!)

Jean-Jacques Goldman
La vie par procuration
