Death, taxes and Jimmy closing #Fridayvinyl Here, our boss of the B-3 is found in '69 with an appropriately titled LP on Verve. Look after yourselves, see you in 7. xxx #TheIncredibleJimmySmith #Jazz #vinylrecords #NP

I expect this will be getting some hammering by Fall fans today, the brand new release of a live version of the groups best record.* Hats off to @marcrileydj @Stephenhanley6 @hanleyPa and Craig. Magic captured. #TheFall #Fridayvinyl #FallFriday #NP *It's definitely top 5

Containing one of the best singles of the 80's in the majestic 'Digging Your Scene', Dr. Robert and co's second LP has some absolute corkers, not least the underappreciated follow up 'Wicked Ways'. First class soul pop all round. #Vinylrecords #NP #BlowMonkeys #Fridayvinyl

When I started work at just 15, my walkman was my best friend on the cold mornings I had to trudge to a job I had no interest in. The cassette of this comp, released just a month after his death, was like a good friend and still is. #Fridayvinyl #NP #BuddyHollyandTheCrickets

#Fridayvinyl is go. We begin with Manchester based three piece (who hailed from Dorset, Newcastle and Liverpool) The Peddlers. An old friend first played me this, their 4th LP from '70, some 30 years ago. I was in from the get go. Superb jazz/soul. #vinylrecords #NP #ThePeddlers

Time for bed said Zebedee. Guess who is sending me off to the land of nod? Here's our Hammond hero paired with the peerless Kenny Burrell and 63's 'Blue Bash!'. Adios fellow travellers.x #Fridayvinyl #NP #TheIncredibleJimmySmith #Jazz

Prompted by the latest Ed. of @IAmTheEggPod, I decided to buy this on vinyl for the first time. I was lucky enough to see the Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas in 2010. It was ace, a rare occasion to hear those songs at concert volume. Tears were shed! #Fridayvinyl #NP #TheBeatles

Essentially a Brian solo LP, 77's 'Love You' has grown in stature in recent years and is now considered among their best work. I must admit, I found it jarring during my BB obsession in my teens, but I'm now firmly in agreement. It's wonderful. #Fridayvinyl #NP #BeachBoys

I'm not usually one for RSD but when this was announced a few months ago, I had to have it, and here it is! @orbitalband's 1991 debut aka "The Green Album". Seminal. #Orbital #Fridayvinyl #NP

#Fridayvinyl time! A couple of massive names this week although not necessarily massive LP's. And 2 70+ mins hence the early start. We kick off in fine fashion with Mr. Excitement himself, the great Jackie Wilson. Here's his 1961 album ...'By Special Request' #JackieWilson #NP

What I want, I want now. #morningpop #fridayvinyl #television #marqueemoon

Time to close, as is the tradition, with Jimmy. 1963's 'Any Number Can Win' is tonight's choice and with those wonderful Hammond sounds sending me to Bedfordshire I take my leave. Goodnight and good luck.x #Fridayvinyl #NP #TheIncredibleJimmySmith #Jazz

What do you get when one of the greatest musicians to grace this green earth interprets the songs of, arguably, the greatest ever songwriter? Magic. That's what. #Fridayvinyl #NP #OscarPeterson #ColePorter #Jazz

These lads were my favourite band for a few months when I was 16. Then Seattle called. Still, I stuck with them for this, their second LP which was released 3 years later and despite my leaning towards heavier music, it's poppy nouse was irresistible. #Fridayvinyl #The4ofUs #NP

Released in '93, The Fall's fifteenth studio LP was cited as their 'most accessible' at the time and contains two of, for my money, their best covers. The masterful reworking of 'Lost In Music' and their mental stab at 'I'm Going To Spain' #Fridayvinyl #NP #TheFall #FallFriday

#Fridayvinyl returns to its natural home and we're not messing about. We go straight in with the big guns and Radiohead's 6th which is now an astonishing 21 years old. I've said it before, but they really are Britain's greatest band of the past 40 years. Fight me. #NP #Radiohead

Where a man is nothing and the air is something. Perfect post-Engel. #morningpop #fridayvinyl #gracecummings #stormqueen

And now the away team. #morningpop #fridayvinyl #arcticmonkeys #whateverpeoplesayiamthatswhatimnot #ynwa

Liverpool v Sheffield morning starts with the home team. #morningpop #fridayvinyl #echoandthebunnymen #songstolearnandsing #ynwa

At work for Easter therefore this week #Fridayvinyl is #Thursdayvinyl. We begin with this celebrated record from 1970. Reissued by Mr. Bongo in the mid 90's, Doris' only LP is a curious blend of Swedish pop-big band-funk. It's bags of fun. #vinylrecords #NP #DorisSvensson
