Okay, now that I fully scrolled, I saw some albums on the sticker sheet that I can't find in the shop: Aladdin Sane, A Different Kind of Tension, Never Mind the Bollocks, to name three.

Are We Not Men? We Are Devo?

Of course I am far from a superrecognizer, unlike ilxor Tom D.

Is there not a whole section that the photos don't show? I think most of them are towards the interior wall and don't remember seeing anything in the section towards the outer wall if I'm reading the structure right.
But don't think I saw anything other than that E2 E4 in a section that didn't have the sleeves filled in yet.

tg's greatest hits, piper at the gates..., gong's flying tea pot, bonzo dog's tadpoles, the kinks' face to face also on the sticker sheet... and maybe ogdens nut gone flake

& the answer to my previous question on 2nd thoughts is that that is the section that has Aladdin Sane, Devo and Surf City in.
&the red beany hat guy is standing in front of holding that Death In june lp. Thanks for that, they're not a band i'm that familiar with. Think I saw them once around the time that lp came out or the year before, supporting Nick Cave in London.

Which means that i can't see where that E2E4 fits if it's still at the front of a rack. Or has the maker gone and given everything in the racks a cover that isn't showing?

Okay, didn't see that guy at counter was wearing a hat . having to switch back and forth between several different sites to see all the photos. Or might have stressed which photo that was.

There are more shots / different angles in the original full flickr set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/coop666/sets/72157670926182366🔗 (SPOILERS though I guess)

...spoilers as there are also higher-res pics and in some of them you can even read the text. Which is good for me because it was really bugging me trying to remember what the record to the left of X Ray Spex was, and now I know, it is the Gories - House Rockin'. There are still plenty without visible text though so I hope I haven't ruined the game completely.

Pleased to see Q: Are We Not Men and E2:E4 in the other shots.


Ah, missed this, sorry, thanks

Seconded. And then go watch performances by HeathCraig Robinson's Minipops.

"Ah, I knew the July album looked familiar! Like the artist Coop, a lot of people discovered that July album in recent years. I'm not familiar with Von Lmo or Simply Saucer. The bottom right corner kind of looked like The Soft Pack's tribute to The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms cover but that's not it either."

oh, that's july. i thought it was parable of arable land or a zun zun egui ep or something. never had much time for that record except for the bonus track alt take of "the way" which is fabulous.

i totally listened to that hound record because it was in the store. it was good! short, punchy, didn't overstay its welcome.

anyway, i recognized more of those record covers than i can reasonably defend.

Great record that July. Band in part went onto being Jade Warrior.
But that lp is a great English psych thing.

Stevolende, Thursday, 4 August 2016 18:20 (seven years ago) link

Yeah I revisited the Hound too, good stuff, a little "street doom" going on too. There's a follow-up album after that too.

In tribute to the lego store, I repurposed a pic for a recent piece:

The one with the monster hand in between Funk Inc. and the Residents is The Oh Sees Castlemania.

Mike Dixn, Thursday, 4 August 2016 23:50 (seven years ago) link

Yep, that's another contemporary record, another good choice. Looking forward to the new one, Weird Exits, next week!

Fastnbulbous, Friday, 5 August 2016 12:53 (seven years ago) link

I love that Holly Vincent album so much.
