The Colour of Spring

This haul of 42 LPs and singles from last Friday morning rates as my best of the year. There were a number of gleaming, unplayed records, some more worn, but ones I'd been searching for in playable and affordable condition. And lot's to experiment with for future shoot outs of UK-US-German pressings.
