Love the Smiths songs Hedley. I should really do this tag - most of my records would qualify. Cheers, D

Great stuff Hedley, seems like Garcia was all over everyone's sessions in the 70s. If you are interested, I dropped my Americana tag earlier last week. Take part if you so choose!

I came here because first i went to Rachel.s but it said 'Art Discussioin'...Art and Rachel are totally incongruous (especially that dope Maslof)...so I came here instead.

I'm very close to the Smoky Mountains... everything about the people are bittersweet.

Great unexpected and unusual choices. Smiths choices especially. Nice job.

No one can ruin my perfect songs!❤

Love the answers. The Chas and Dave by a popular band was totally pushing it 😂!

No radiators in the music attic? You need a fan heater! I'm struggling with some of these questions so I'm hoping you'll give me some ideas.

What a great tag, marvellous answers Hedley, really enjoy the "Smiths" answers. I do not own any so if I do this I will follow your lead. Cheers man!

Yep that's a pretty sad selection Hedley. Nice take on the Smiths...

I thought the Birmingham mistake was building HS2 there.

Nice video and some sadness all around. Thanks for the tears and laughs.

Thanks, I did have a good motherfucker. Cheers!

Expertly done. Liked the Smiths twist and the classical addition. You went deep into the caverns of sadness.

Hedley, good video. My choice for 4. It’s a love song, but it’s sad: Cal Smith - Country Bumpkin. Thanks, Chris

Afternoon Hedley. As usual you had me chuckling away with your wit. Great answers to a really good tag and the mind boggling "thanksgiving" confusion had me laughing. Have a great weekend, Floss.

This is the first response I have seen. Very good, especially the Thanksgiving part!

Amy Winehouse. Back to black..is that sad enough for you

Thanks for the nomination. And Happy Mother F*cker to all the Yanks 😀

Tears in your Beer: although, not a typical country song, Loudon Wainwright III's Downdrinking At The Bar crossed my mind. Nice, how you handled the Smiths.

Ugh, this is such a sad and depressing tag LOL! My own upcoming Vinyl Tag 2025 (Red's Version) will have just a simple set of questions, and y'all will have fun showing the answers. POOOKE!!!

Hi Hedley, great video. I loved your responses and the way you manipulated the answers. Have a good weekend. Steve

"a pathetic rain" haha

This was fantastic, Hedley! 😂 The Smiths had me cracking up. My wife darting her eyes at me from the other end of the couch. Some fantastic prose as always in your descriptions. “A howl into the cosmos…” “A pathetic rain…” Exactly! I’ll need to check out that Flubber album. Good fun indeed. Happy Motherf***er!

Well done Hedley, that Jean Sheppard record sounds interesting. I feel significantly sad now and hope to be depressed enough after the holiday to add to the thread. Take care my friend.

Mazzy tagged me for this tag. I was surprised you didn’t pick the first song that came to my mind.

If that’s an LP you’ve got a really huge index finger 😂. Hank has got to be the most depressing of them all. Jacqueline du pre, sad story exceptional cellist. Enjoyed the video.

The Straight Story is a fantastic movie with a wonderful soundtrack. Great choice.

I rather enjoy a few days on my own.

I think I'd be up for York - especially as we nearly moved there. Beautiful city. I'd have been all over those Japanese records having tough deliberations. But like which sushi to go for....... Lou Reed hmmmmm yes I don't remember it but was working a la record shop then it passed me by unlike New York. Weather Prophets in my indie ballpark too. McGarrigle have seen and very close to getting no idea what stopped me. I'm with you on the dull regular stalls I am a decent browser and can spot what I'm looking for pretty quick. Bargains, samples, cheese. Not necessarily in that order. Your beard is looking very beardy and full. Lovely. As a compliment of course. I start then bottle it. I don't want to maintain it either. Far too much effort. 90s I had bad sideburns but no one ever told me.......

Hi Hedley, thanks for posting about York Record Fair and for the video. I organise the fair and was planning to number the stalls on the information "booklet" but there were some time issues and the stall numbers were missing. Will definitely get the stall numbers sorted out for next time. Hope you can make it on 5th April. Thanks, John

Great Tex Withers story

Only mekons i have is a single song " this funeral is for the wrong corpse" a CPGB CD

Fantastic introduction, very artistic

Another brilliant video, great LPs

Got the CD version of the christy moore comp. It's a good one. Goes well with the planxty comp that came with a DVD of 70s TV performances

Is that a balalika behind you? Great video, don't have any idea who these artists are. You didn't mention the dreaded 'psych' or 'prog' or god forbid 'Northern soul'

Yugoslav folk...subbing right away Haha!

Score on Horslips for £5, that’s their best LP. Nice acquisitions

Hey Headley..That Weather Prophets album has sat in my Local Oxfam for months now £12.00. I remember they were meant to be the next U2, but it was the well trodden path of Indie band jumping to a major, slightly losing the magic & getting swamped in producers, bad advise & ending up hating each other, a similiar story with the House Of Love who also jumped from Creation & had a nightmarish experience. Theres an amazing book about Creation Records by David Cavanagh which details both bands decline, its fascinating & horrifying in equal measure. I bought all the Mike Nesmith albums in the early nineties when you couldnt give them away after The Lemonheads covered 'Different Drum' The slide on 'Wax Minute' 'Harmony Constant' & Calico Girlfriend is really magic. I love all his stuff.

Weather profits similar to Rough riders . Horslips and Spud all four have some great some middling and some boring tracks but the better tracks are excellent. But all your choices are good excluding those jap ones. Why no singles do you have a grudge against them?

I remember seeing the Beat Farmers at Club Lingerie. One of the dudes in Weather Prophets looks like the singer from Radiohead. The Lucinda Williams sounded great. I’ve never seen that Michael Nesmith album.

Love that early Lucinda album too. Your pick up always interest me. The John Martyn Church with One Bell you flipped through is such a beautiful record. All moody covers and supposedly the label bought him that church in trade for doing a covers album. And of course the entire Buena Vista family of records are classic. ❤️‍🔥

Evening Hedley. You got some great albums there. Shame about the "blind buys" but worth a go all the same. Thanks for the video, all the best, floss.

I’ve watched many of your videos and was impressed with the quality of sound from a LP. Do you use a filter to clean pops and clicks from your LPs?

First time to check you out and enjoyed it!

Hedley, nice fair, thanks for the tour. You got some nice albums there, don't have that Lou Reed yet, but I been holding it a few times but always something else that was more important to follow me home. Never seen that Tina Turner album before, sounded cool. Ibrahim Ferrer have a marvellous vibe. Do not think I have heard Kate & Anna before, need to check it up. The Japanese albums was a nice punt, the first tune had a nice swing and the second wasn't to bad, but I guess both was not your cup of tea. Cheers

Good evening Hedley. Nice to see you again. Longtime fan of Mike Nesmith. I got a chance to see him play with The Monkees and I did not miss out. I actually saw them a few times without Mike and once with him. Even better with him. I saw all of them before they sadly passed on. I think some of the stuff from Palais was songs that he recorded with the First National Band. <> Really appreciate your honest review of "Magic and Loss". Being a big Lou Reed fan. I am always interested in hearing what our fellow VC members say about his solo albums. <> I always wanted to dig a little deeper into some of the older Tina albums. She really had it all as a performer. I would say that you did really well at the Fair. Thank you for taking us along~ Rob/Boston

Hey Hedley. I have that Lucinda record. Not bad for so early in her career. I think she released another on Folkways after that. I have all those McGarrigle albums as well, but not minty like those from the cheapie bin. Cheers.
