Hello everyone. As always, it's been a while since last we communed, and as always there's been a lot happening so there's a lot to tell, but I'll try to keep it brief.

First things first, the inaugural Carshalton Record Fair is only a couple of weeks away now. Taking place at CryerArts on Saturday March 7th, between 11am & 5pm, public admission is free and as always refreshments will be readily available in the bar. We're co-hosting the event with our good friends from just down the road, Looking For The Magic, and it's shaping up to be a really great occasion, with 10+ sellers offering a vast range of vinyl, CDs, music books & memorabilia to suit all tastes. And, hot off the press, I'm pleased to announce that the legendary vocalist Chris Farlowe will also be joining us, selling vinyl on the day and he'll be more than happy to sign autophraphs too. It's the first CRF ever, so we hope you can make it to sample a little piece of history ;)

As far as shop business goes, we have loads incoming at present, with several new collections steadily making their way shopwards over the coming weeks, and there are some exciting new releases too, a few of which are pictured below. New in this week we have Richard Dawson's collaborative project Hen Ogledd with their new album 'Discombobulation', as well as Dutch-Turkish psych-rockers Altin Gun with their latest 'Garip'. In addition we are also delighted to say that we will be graced with 3 LPs from the brilliant psychedelic, kosmische label Dreamlord Recordings, with one apiece from Korb, Studio Kosmische and The Hologram People.

And as if that wasn't enough, we were lucky enough to have had a visit from Nick from Onomatopoeia Records last week, & as a result we are now able to expand our Cardiacs section to include projects related to and inhabiting the same musical universe as that band we love so much, including LPs from William D Drake, Crayola Lectern and Stephen Evens.

Then finally, moving away from vinyl, we also have the new issue of Ritual, the pop-cultural, folkloric zine from the folks at Weird Walk. ! 

Well, do you know what, I think that's about enough good news to subject you too for the time being, so I'll take the opportunity to draw this missive to a close.

Until next time good people, take care and happy listening :)
