Most Embarrassing Record in your collection!

We all have one (some of us even have several!), those records that we prey never tumble out of the rack when we have guests round!

My shameful piece of vinyl is one I bought some years ago from a car boot.

For those of a certain age the name "Animal Kwackers' will mean something!

There I was browsing through the string pictures and foot spas when out of a box popped the Animal Kwackers double album!

Being a big fan of this show way back in 1975 or so, I really wanted it, however could I suffer the humiliation of buying it?

As I was attending this 'boot' on my own I didn't have my kids there to get it for me, so I took the plunge!

The guy selling looked at me like I was a nutter! Still I got him to knock the price down to 20p!

Safe to say that only a select few (close family and those I pay a small monthly fee to, to keep quiet!) know that this album lives in my collection.

So lets have them then. Those records, cds or tapes that should never ever see the light of day!

P.S. According to this my album's worth £ 20.00!

Re: Most Embarrassing Record in your collection!

I don't have one, as I don't have a collection anymore.
all my music is MP3'd and on my PC, but I have owned, in the past...

Styx- Babe
Dean Friedman-Lucky Stars
Whitney Houston-Greatest Love of all

Embarassing enough for me, thought some may still have 'em

Re: Most Embarrassing Record in your collection!

Styx - Babe - my MP3 at the moment - I love it! But i suppose it's "girly"!
LOL.

Have got the Vinyl in the loft - asll obsolete now.

My Husband bought Little Drummer Boy by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards when he was a tot (giggle) bless him the first record he bought!
LOL bless him

Dean Friedman-Lucky Stars

Another of my 'guilty secrets' but I prefer 'Well, well said the rocking chair'

I've got plenty of, what a lot of folks would term, embarrassing records (yes, real vinyl!) in my collection but hey, you can't help the music you like, no matter how unfashionable it may seem.

I might get rid of that Claire Rayner talking about childbirth album a mate got me for Xmas one year as a laugh, though.

Re: Most Embarrassing Record in your collection!

Sadly, I also have to admit I've seen Mr Friedman live.
It was at a festival, so I didn't pay to see him alone, he was just on the bill.
Actually he was very good, as was Peter Sarstedt, who was also playing on that stage. Acts like that are perfect for family festivals as they actually bother to interact with the audience

Re: Most Embarrassing Record in your collection!

I just got some of my old Vinyl from my parents house, and I swear it was not mine...honest but in my record collection now is a Spitting Image album with THE CHICKEN SONG.

Altogether now
"Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deck-chair up your nose. Buy a Jumbo-Jet, and then bury all your clothes..."

Re: Most Embarrassing Record in your collection!

For me it's toss up between "Sheila B Devotion - singing in the rain" or "Sesame street fever the album" you can't get much worse than that, can you?

Re: Most Embarrassing Record in your collection!

Oh yeah, how could I forgot Mr Blobby? ... actually between me and you the sesame street fever album is quite good - of course I listed to it total privacy .. hee hee ... buthonestly someone told me to hold on to it as it may be rare - limited number were released ... apparantly ..
