Charity Shop Gem of The Week: Week 3: Kojak

Charity Shop Gem of The Week

Some of the greatest moments in a record collector's career come in charity shops - it's where you can find treasure among the trash - it doesn't have to be worth a fortune to make your day either.

One of the best tips I can give a budding digger is to pay special attention to charity shops in far flung locations - there are hundreds of hungry diggers in the big cities waiting to snaffle up the best offers, but out in the sticks all sorts of records get donated and can sit around for weeks or years.

Check out our weekly installment documenting the best finds we've stumbled upon in our regular charity shop trawls.

Time is a relative concept. It doesn't really exist except in our own hallucinated relationships with it. The application of days, digits and crudely effective instruments of time-keeping are just a tool to keep us worker bees down. So if we don't manage weekly updates it's not because we're lazy, it's because we are renegade mavericks playing by our own rules, rejecting the conditioning of this cruel world. Viva la remisness!

Week 3: Kojak - 2 Exciting Stories!

Now we're talking... a great example of the kind of bonkers but undeniably cool records that can be found in bargain buckets if you keep your eyes peeled.

This is one of many storybook/record sets I've picked up over the years (almost all without the book)

Littered with great quotes, sound effects and soundbites, all in an ultra-cool New York drawl, with some ridiculous characters and plots that just about make sense... what's not to like?
