A couple of weeks ago, I bought myself a turntable. I’ve been wanting one for ages because, well, they’re cool, but also because although I like the convenience of having everything digitised and on my computer, there’s something lacking in the sound quality. It just doesn’t seem to have the same body to the sound.

Anyway, for the first time in well over 20 years I now have access to a turntable, so I went digging around the garage (oh, yes, I do keep everything) until I found my box of old vinyl, and in that, in completely the wrong sleeve (which it was in when I bought it second hand all those years ago) I came across an album that I’d totally forgotten I owned: Technical Ecstasy, by Black Sabbath. And one of the best songs on that album is a song called “Gypsy”.

It made me realise that I seem to have quite a few songs that are some variation on “Gypsy” and that they’re all pretty good songs. So, in the interests of random blog posting, here are the songs I own that are called “Gypsy” (or similar):

The songs in this playlist are:

1. Gypsy, by Black Sabbath
2. Gypsy, by Uriah Heep
3. Restless Gypsy, by W.A.S.P.
4. Gypsy, by Dio
5. Roll Gypsy Roll, by Lynyrd Skynyrd
