Welcome to Trunk Trestle Table. Here we have a small number of vinyl recordings for sale and possibly others things if and when we feel inclined. For vinyl items, condition is written as sleeve followed by vinyl, and as you'd expect we use Record Collector gradings. If you have any queries about any of the records please get in touch. If you want to buy one, drop us an email and we'll sort it out immediately and give you the whole price including shipping to wherever you live. Shipping is at cost by the way, and not inflated in any way. For more expensive items we'd recommend 'Signed For' delivery. As far as payment is concerned, Paypal is the preferred method, send to jonnyATtrunkrecordsDOTcom. All LPs are shipped in proper mailers. It's worth you bookmarking this page as updates will be more regular than you may think! And finally all prices could be a bit negotiable so if you fancy a haggle, haggle away.
STAN BUTCHER - SWING LIKE A B****** (BASTARD)
click to enlarge
CONDITION: EX / VG+ DESCRIPTION: Extremely hard to find and most desirable jazz ba-ba-da jazz LP, starring the legendary Barbara Moore stretching out on scat vocals. This really is a legendary British recording. This is only the second one I have found in about ten years. Very scarse indeed and a thoroughly groovy and awesome listen, and includes the incredible 'Time Out Of Mind" doop dooby scatty waltz. Too many many high points here to list. Some surface marks (on side one) but plays very well indeed with the occasional very light pop. Very small split along bottom seam at the opening. A good and inexpensive copy. Expect to pay #100 for a mint one. PRICE: £30
MUSIC TO SUFFER BY - LEONI ANDERSON
click to enlarge
CONDITION: VG / VG DESCRIPTION: Killer, and I mean killer bad singing of the highest most hysterical order. I adore this album totally. This really is so incredibly good, with a dark humour running through not only the singer, her voice but also the band. Hard to find in good condition, this is very payable, and the vinyl crackles suit the period sounds. Truly brilliantly terrible, especially Indian Love Call, Limberger Lover (a song about cheese) and my all time fave to song of all time, Rats In My Room. PRICE: £15
BIG BAD MOUSE - FENELLA FIELDING. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: M / M (company sleeve) DESCRIPTION: Extremely rare stock copy of this superb 7" by the sexy bewigged bouffant legend Fenella. If you know who she is you really need this single. A trunk favourite. PRICE: £15
THE WALT ROCKMAN MOOG MOODS CONDITION. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: EX+ / NM DESCRIPTION: Almost insane Moog / synth LP . 21 tracks in all, some novelty, some beats with electric lines over the top, some interesting moog solos. Rare. PRICE: £15
MODERATE BEAT MOVEMENTS - S. CROMBIE. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: EX+/ M DESCRIPTION: Conroy BMLP 104A/B. From 1973. Great, very consistently funky, jazzy and groovy library LP, all music by Stuart Crombie. 11 great tracks in all, bossas, hypnotic funky bass patterns, superb jazzy piano, vibes, sexy flute work, hip guitar sounds, a bit of fuzz, perfect for the summer, and works brilliantly as an album in its own right. One of the top, top Conroys if you ask me. Rare now. PRICE: £50
LIGHT AND BRIGHT - MARK DUVAL AND HIS MUSIC. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: EX+ / NM DESCRIPTION: Don't see many of these late LPC Chappells very often, this one I really like not just because of the lovely girl on the front, but because of the track Bottoms Up - a very groovy Roger Webb number with a hooky treated synth thing going off over the top of a cool, funky bass pattern. I love it. Rest of the album includes a touch of abstract hillbilly funk (Barbecue Chicken), light bits and classic mellow birds style Babs Moore sba-ba-da number. Has sold on ebay before for just under #100, but that's just mad. PRICE: £50
DON'T LOSE YOUR COOL - BASIL KIRCHIN / NATHAN / COLEMAN. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: EX+ / VG+ DESCRIPTION: Mentally rare Kirchin ten inch from De Wolfe in 1967, only issued once. Includes a rare scat vocal number, hypnotic psycho oddness and more - including blissful harpsichord. Impossible to find. Has a sweet, small "Australian Broadcasting Company" gold stamp on the front, and two good distribution stickers on the back which I think add to the history and over all look of the record. Possibly includes Tubbs on Trumpet, but Basil couldn't remember. This is British library history. PRICE: £60
RAINDROPS KEEP FALING ON MY HEAD - MEL TORME. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: EX+ / NM DESCRIPTION: Amazing and quite obscure UK pressing of this superb Torme album. It has everything you want from a Mel album, including the very funky "Take a Letter Maria" and "Sunshine Superman", plus one of the saddest, most beautiful versions of She's Leaving Home, in waltz time. A brilliant album, and hard to find, and how can you resist, just look at the seductive superstar way Mel is gazing out at you. Magic. PRICE: £15
BABYLON OST - VARIOUS. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: NM/ M (sleeve has TV sticker on reverse) DESCRIPTION: Great soundtrack to the legendary Franco Rosso film about a Brixton soundsystem. Top tunes all the way, includes the killer dub monster Warrior Charge by Aswad. Surprisingly tricky to find on vinyl. PRICE: £15
DRAMATIC DIVERSIONS - BOSWORTH LIBRARY. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: M/ M DESCRIPTION: Rare Bosworth original, includes the truly awesome "Colours" by The Men Of Vision as featured on The Super Sounds OF Bosworth LP. Other highlights include the fast rhythmic "Decoy" and the easy string fest that is "Head in The Clouds". Artists on this LP include Vic Flick, Johnny Pearson, Michael Drake etc. PRICE: £25
MIKE SAMMES - LOVE IS A HAPPY THING. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: NM / NM DESCRIPTION: The top Sammes LP, immaculate condition this one too. Orchestrated by the great Johnny Scott, this LP comes with the superb funky version of Summertime, and one of my personal all time favourites, I Must Know, that Neil Hefti tune from Sex And The Single Girl. Very hard to find now this LP, believe me. PRICE: £40
SHELLY MANNE AND HIS MEN - CHECKMATE CONDITION. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: EX / EX DESCRIPTION: This is one of the great TV / jazz Lps of all time. Checkmate (Starring Doug McClure) was Johnny William's first score, and mighty fine it was too. So fine that Shelly Manne performed his own jazz version of it. Killer modals, a very hip West Coast LP indeed, Hours of endless listening. WellI don't know about you, but I listen to this album bloody loads. The epitome of cool.
And from 1961. Rare Australian pressing. PRICE: £15
DUDLEY MORE TRIO. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: See below DESCRIPTION: Rare Australian wideband stereo pressing of legendary Dud LP. This is the top of the pile, and surely one of the greatest UK pop jazz LPs of all time. And in the harder to find stereo edition too. Includes the classic Amalgam, but I think this is a consistently fine album, faultless in fact. Sleeve has spinewear and foxing on reverse, vinyl is mint except for pressing fault on the opening track. Shame really, should be #50 otherwise. So grab a bargain. PRICE: £15
ANDRZEJ KURYLEWICZ - CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FORMATIONS. SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: M / M DESCRIPTION: Is it jazz? Is it library? Is it avant garde? Well yes to all of those. There are moments of Morricone / Edda here, certainly at the beginning, but the whole is a most extraordinary mixture of avant garde, classical, jazz and library. Issued only once on the rare Apollo Sound label, this rarely turns up. And I mean rarely turns up. It's even rarer when it's unplayed, like this one. Vocals by Wanda Warska by the way. Oh, and incidentally, this is one of the awesome LP sleeves featured in the Music Library Book. PRICE: £25
SHEB WOOLEY - THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATER SOLD
click to enlarge
CONDITION: Plain white sleeve, record EX. DESCRIPTION: Killer nonsense sci-fi oddness from 1957. As used in a few films now, especially that one called Parents where Randy Quaid plays a cannibalistic dad. Great movie. Great track. Original and rare UK MGM pressing. PRICE: £8
