The Vinyl Villain is an excellent blog. Over the past year or so I have compiled a couple of CDs worth of hard-to-get music that has been made available on the site and I am a regular visitor throughout the week. Possibly in the wake of BBC4’s ‘Caledonia Dreaming’ rockumentary and it’s attendant Edwyn Collins documentary (or possibly not), The Vinyl Villain has come up with a very laudable scheme. He will make you a personal, 60 minute compilation of almost ANY Orange Juice material that has ever been available. All the rare b-sides, flexi disc stuff, Peel sessions, etc etc that you could shake a Roger McGuinn fringe at. Or the ‘You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever’ album if you still don’t have it. It’s your choice.
The bulk of your money (£6 – surely a bargain) goes to Quarriers, a very worthwhile cause. See the blog for full details and the complete list of available tracks. Make your own Orange Juice LP! What could be more fun and more worthwhile? Go! Now! Keep The Vinyl Villain’s CD burner working overtime. I’m off to peruse the list and see what gems he has waiting for me.
Orange Juice – L.O.V.E. Love
Al Green – L.O.V.E. Love
It doesn’t get much better than that

Appreciate the support for the OJ cds thingy….
Just in case anyone is in doubt, you get a personalised CD, track listing, some artwork and brief OJ bio/discogrpahy as part of a package for your cash. Its not just a CD that has been burned and shoved in an envelope….
Almost all of your £6 will goto Quarriers – all I’ll need to cover is the cost of each disc and sleeve (about 25p per go) and postage (which can range from 35p to £2 if it is going overseas).
Thanks
