@Thevinylscavenger I'm no expert but have found a few over the years. Summer has been good - been down Lyme Regis way. Hope all well with you.

Cheers Pete, can't beat some deep soul sometimes. All are on those Dave Godin comps. Hope all is well with you.

A whole pile of heartbreak indeed. Ben E King's It's All Over is briliant and only a few quid to buy. Love that song so much. Agree about Otis - totally convincing. James Carr must be one of the saddest sounding singers. Even in his more uptempo numbers. OV Wright great as well but you never see him being mentioned on the VC. Hope all good with you.

Hi Rob, hope you are doing fine. Summer has been good here - nice and relaxing. Been down in Dorset fossil hunting. Listen to It's All Over by Ben E King. Fantastic record. All the best, Steve.

@Harrispilton22 I think the Deep Soul Treasures comps are the best comps ever. The quality never drops. I also like that they place real obscurities with more well known songs (which feel so much deeper despite being heard so many times). Tracks of my Tears is a good example. Now, I love that Barbara and the Browns track. One 45 I would love to own is Ruby Johnson's I'll Run Your Hurt Away. I've never heard that Theola Kilgore track before. What a cracker that is. One of my favourites is that Ben E King 45 I showed, what a performance. You are spot on, my deep soul 45s have nearly all been shaped by the Dave Godin comps. All the best to you and thanks for taking the time to leave such an interesting comment. Cheers, Steve.

Hi Kris, thank you for your kind words - to lose a friend of the same age is difficult to comprehend. He was loved by so many. It is hard to choose a favourite Velvets. It was the first album for me when I was a teenager - it did everything I wanted music to do. I love those Matrix recordings as well - they sounded great at that time. Hope all is well with you.

Thanks for taking the time to watch. I'm been listening more and buying a lot less recently. Lots of electronica for the first time in years. Enjoying it all very much. Mind you, you can't beat that Velvets album. All the best, Steve.

Hi Hedley, thanks for your kind words. Your message made me laugh. I still pick up the odd transistor radio every now and then. I've fixed a few along the way. There is a really good extended interview with REM just uploaded onto UA-cam. Recorded last week I think. Really interesting. I never saw them live but my sister saw them at the leisure centre in Newport on the Green tour! Mad to think they were playing venues like that. I often return to their run of records - Fables is a favourite. My mate adored REM. It can be hard to listen to songs that take you back but it is also nice to know they are there if you need them. I quite like Mr M but it did nothing for me for years. I know what you mean about FLOTUS. It would've been a lot stronger without that voice effect. Still some hidden beauty in there - especially those gorgeous lyrics in the Hustle. All the best to you. Steve

I will drag them out. I was only listening to the Black Dog the other day. Temple of Transparent Balls. Love Cost 2 from that record. Beautiful track. Finding the Electric Prunes was a treat. I had an Air Raid Warden helmet in one hand for £20 and the Prunes in the other. I think I was in the background as they were filming Bargain Hunt as well. What a day!

There is a rumour around here that an ex DJ has a huge record collection stored in a barn. Probably just a myth but heard it from a couple of people. Every now and then, I find a really rare record in a charity shop in Brecon. I wonder....... Hope all is good with you John. Been a tough couple of months around these parts but doing fine. The stall I got Electric Prunes from also had Electric Ladyland on Track records. Sadly, one record was in poor condition so left it there. Stall will be there again in Sept.

Hi Pete, I'm always on the look out for surf 45s. It was great when lots of surf comps came out in the mid 90s - I have quite a few of them. Hope all is well with you. Been down to Swindon a couple of times recently but sadly, not for good reasons. Did manage to get to Avebury for a nice walk. All the best to you, Steve.

Cheers Alan. Been a strange old few months. Waiting for the inevitable nail biter that will be Serbia V England. Having a beer on a school night as well. My listening has many been 90s electronica of late - my son plays it all the time. Some of those records are briliant. Been digging Beefheart as well. I was thinking earlier, I've never heard Lick My Decals Off. Not sure why. Hope you are doing okay. This June weather is pants.

@@psychinthevalleys5324 Never heard Decals? I envy you that first listen. I have loved it since I first heard it in the 80s. A superb, unique record.

Cheers - that Amorphous Androgynous record is well worth a listen.

Hi Rob, great to hear from you. Murmur is lovely - it takes me back to being 16 again. When that record hooks you, it is very special. There is a newish record shop in Hay called Tom's Records. He has got some good folk LPs in there right now but specialises in jazz. Really nice chap as well. Maybe we could meet up again there at end of Aug when the tiny record fair arrives. Hayden's shop is still there and as good as ever. I was surprised to find the Electric Prunes - the lady had some fantastic records but I had nearly everything. She had early Bob Dylan mono records which are harder to find nowadays, along with nearly every Bowie LP. Decided to buy an Air Raid Warden's helmet instead! All the best, Steve.

Hi Martin, thanks for your kind words. It was very tough to lose an old friend - I was fortunate to reconnect with him the past few years and get to see him before he passed on. A lovely person. Been listening to a lot of 90s electronica recently. Must be my mid life crisis. A particular highlight has been revisiting Electro Soma by B12. Obsessed is quite a tune. Saw Orbital perform the Green and Brown album in Bristol. It was ridiculously good. On a school night as well! Hope you are doing well. Just killing time before the game later. Familiar nerves kicking in. I can't take any more upsets but you just know it is coming at some point. All the best to you, Steve.

Hi Dave, hope all good with you. Been a weird few months. The Velvets record sounds gorgeous - I also have a recent reissue which is also great sounding. I've been listening to a lot of Electronica recently. Saw Orbital do the Green and Brown album back in May. It was excellent. All the best to you.

@@psychinthevalleys5324Awesome! I saw Orbital here on Lollapalooza.

​@@LocalbandographyI can't believe it is 30 years since I first saw them. The performance in May was the best I've ever seen them - even better than Glastonbury 1994. Seeing them again in Sept with Leftfield. Definitely a mid life crisis for me. Hope your 78 collecting is going well. Love seeing you post them on Insta.

Hi Dale, Mr M is a weird one. I could not get into it at all I then, it suddenly clicked. A bit like their record, Damaged. Murmur is just a classic - still remember where I was when it suddenly hit home with me. Took about three plays. Their best record that still sounds full of magic to this day. All the best, Steve.

Same here - the first I ever heard was Pipeline. Always grateful for Pulp Fiction for kick starting the surf compilations that came after it. I had read about the legend that was Misirlou but had never heard it until the start of that movie. Remember the Arousers playing at the Vic? They were great - they had a fantastic guitar player. Hope all good with you Pete. We are looking forward to Spring.

It's the closest I will ever get to surfing.

Hi Rob, great to hear from you. Love your knowledge. One of my favourite surf tunes is Pintor by the Pharos. A Del Fi demo was sold the other day for about $40. Missed out on it - you just never see it. My dad played so many early 60s instros and he had quite a few on London (Dot). He liked a lot of the British instro groups - especially the early Shadows which are basically the sound of early 60s UK. Hope all is well with you. Almost felt like Spring today, after snow yesterday. All the best, Steve.

Cheers Rob - not heard that story before. It is one of those records that makes everyone stop and listen. Just brilliant stuff and often appears on 50s exotica records. I have quite a few versions.

I will look out for them. My favourite surf tune (apart from Misirlou) is Intoxica by the Centurions. Not sure it came out on a 45 but it was on an LP. Totally choppy sounding and nuts. Love it. Hope all is well with you. Spring is just around the corner. All the best, Steve.

That must've been quite an experience to meet him. I have seen him perform, many years ago with Massive Attack. What a voice. I always think that Wayne Jarrett has very a similar vocal at times. Thanks for watching the video. All the best, Steve.

Hi, hope you are both doing well on the farm. We had a really cold week in Wales last week followed by two crazy storms with hurricane force winds and heavy rain. Lots of trees down. All courtesy of your cold snap. Sends the jet stream into a tizzy. I really enjoy the Flamin Groovies - best to pick up the one I showed and Shake Some Action. Killer tunes on both. I've been listening to quite a bit of electronica recently - must be my midlife crisis kicking in. I saw Orbital with my son last summer for the first time since 1995. Also been listening to Kraftwerk and lots of ambient stuff. There are a lot of good early 90s records being reissued recently. Reminds me of a more hopeful time. I've been buying quite a bit of Eno, spurred on by the video you made a while back. I'm really late to Brian Eno and enjoying the journey. Hope Spring arrives for you soon. All the best, Steve.

Hi Chris, thanks for taking the time to watch. I've been after the first Spirit album for ages. Really underrated band. Spirit of 76 is great as well. The cover is a bit rough but it plays great. I've not been buying as much over the past few months - cost of living kicking in. Been listening to a lot of records that have been on the shelves for years. Hope all is well with you. Looking forward to a change in the weather. All the best, Steve.

@@psychinthevalleys5324 I’ve certain.y bought less tbh. Listening to what you have sounds like, a great idea. Not sure if you back yet but hope term goes well. Cheers, Chris

Cheers Chris, term does not start until Monday for me so a few days left to relax and spin a few tunes.

@@psychinthevalleys5324 enjoy the rest of the hols Steve

Hi there, hope you have had a nice Christmas. It has been ages since I made a video but it is great to chat about music again. That Bonzos album is great - so much fun. Would've loved to have seen them live in all their pomp. You don't see a Seeds original that often so I had to grab it. It was reissued many times in the year after its intial release. I remember grabbing one back in 1991. I got the Chocolate Watch Band's Inner Mystic at the same time. Funny how record buying sticks in the mind. All the best, Steve.

Happy new year Doug. That Rhythm Rulers album is ridiculously good. Songs of the highest quality. That instrumental of The Drifter is particularly good. There is not a lot of Harry Mudie about reallly. I did pick up another Dub Conference record back in October. I've been listening to a lot of Cornell Campbell recently. I picked up that cheapy RSD Greenwich Farm Sessions on Jamican Recordings. It is a delight with some of his best material. Anyway, I wish you and your family all the best for 2024. I'm looking forward to Spring aleady. Cheers, Steve.

Hi James, happy new year to you. Those early Them singles are great. I also like the early Downliners Sect singles. I think they are the rawest of those mid 60s UK bands. Wishing you all the best for 2024. Hope many lucky vinyl finds await you. All the best, Steve.

Hi Pete, hope you had a nice Christmas and a happy new year to you. I really like the Harry Mudie comp - not been far from my turntable since the summer. So many good songs and instrumentals on that one. Hopefully catch up at a record fair soon. All the best to you. Cheers, Steve.

Happy new year! I said I would make a video when Swindon won. They promptly lost again today. Not buying any more ambient on vinyl - CD format rules for that. The Mudies comp is terrific - so many killer songs but that Cornell Campbell song is beautiful. Let's Start Again has such a nice sentiment. I picked up a couple of Cornell Campbell LPs in the summer. An artist I had somehow overlooked. Such a soulful voice. Wishing you all the best for 2024. Next video will be when the town win again.....

Cheers Steve. I’ll be keeping an eye on the football results for the rest of the season 😀

Happy new year to you Dale. The Seeds album is great - quite consistent as well with no real filler. Ambient on vinyl is not a great idea really….you have to get up to turn it over. All the best to you and I hope 2024 brings lots of new vinyl finds for you. Cheers, Steve.

Hi James, hope you are doing well. Swindon are dreadful - could end up in a relegation fight. I just watched them play Crawley. Worst Swindon side I have ever seen. Wishing you a happy new year. Enjoy that New Zealand summer. Cheers, Steve.

Hi Rob, lovely to hear from you. I have had a few lucky finds in the past year. Wishing you all the best for 2024. No sign of winter here at all. Just rain and more rain. All the best, Steve.

Happy new year Jon to you and your family. It is surprising what 45s still turn up in charity shops around here. I guess there are a lot less people looking for them in a small town. I really like that Flamin Groovies record. Also love the Shake Some Action LP. So many great songs and they are often overlooked in the UK. If you don’t have that Harry Mudie comp I showed, it is well worth picking up. Some seriously good tunes on it. All the best, Steve.

Hi Rob, happy new year to you and your family. I enjoyed making the video after such a long break. The Seeds record was quite a surprise. I have a late 1980s reissue as well. If you want the reissue, let me know and I will send it to you. Exotica pick ups are a must. They still crop up every now and then. I really like Spirit. I always recommend Spirit of 76. Total corker that one. The Bonzos are great but I avoided them for years - did not really get them but as the years roll by, they suddenly make perfect sense to me. Hope 2024 brings good fortune to you. All the best, Steve.

@@psychinthevalleys5324 Cheers Steve. Yes, I'd definitely be interested in the Seeds reissue, however you must let me reciprocate. All the best for 2024!.

@robison5396 If you send me your address via FB, I will get it in the post to you. Happy new year! All this rain should clear by the weekend and we finally get something more seasonal.

Happy new year Mazzy. It has been so long since I made a video but it was enjoyable to finally do so. All the best to you, Steve.

Hi Martin, happy new year to you. I’m always all over the shop with my record finds. My wife always chooses the wallpaper, I just put it up. Wishing you all the best for 2024, Steve.

Hi Alan, happy new year to you. Finds have generally been quite thin on the ground but Boo Hoo was one of my favourite ever finds. Just could not believe it would end up in a small town like this. Just pays to not give up checking those charity shops. All the best to you, Steve.

Hi Dave, happy new year to you. The Glen Brown is a good comp. The one to look out for is that Harry Mudie comp - total killer that one. All the best for 2024.

Happy new year to you as well. All the best for 2024.

I've been playing some Harry Mudie today. Lovely productions. You are one of the originals for sure there. Hope all is good with you in the Netherlands. Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. Cheers, Steve.
