Alone that Tears Of Fears is fantastic.

You have to put a lot of pepper in the Matzoh Ball Soup... Loved you getting it all wrong (sort of) with Santana and just kept going - I hate when VC channels belabor their videos with perfection. I was NOT expecting Elvis Costello to sound good!

The psych/garage comps looked super cool. Pappo's Blues - was a little VC staple for a bit; even I have the first album. I knew that about the White Album, but its my favorite Beatles album, so I know lots about it - like Eric Clapton wasn't actually on it, but George was such a sweet friend he lied and said he was... Eric was so thankful, he helped take George's wife off his hands.

I have a very hard time remembering what album I bought in what year. The way my channel is going though, my pick for best find would probably be a record of some guy who recorded an album of zither music in his garage in Timiskaming. Very sad, really.

7:35 WEEN!!!

Steve, happy to report we are getting snow. Only 1-3 inches. Killer Zamrock! Oh yea some Dead Kennedys. Good mofis. Several Sonic Youth. Great finds of 2024. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman

Try to say “Soul and funk tag” three times fast.

Hey Steve. Great video! Love that Dead Kennedys album, and that Tears For Fears! City to City, so good. Love Sonic Youth, own most of their catalogue, saw them live and they were amazing. The Saints rule! 😎 I picked up that Box Set, it’s killer! Cheers

thx bro i am planning on going in June cant wait. cheers

Great summary, Steve. That Gerry Rafferty MoFI is one I'd like. Now I'm rediscovering The Cure, I need to get Disintegration.

Nice mix, Steve, and impressions! I am far too devoid of funk and soul to give this one a go.

Disintegration was my first Cure album. I'm not much into Sonic Youth, but probably because of what you said; Dirty is more accessible, i think it's a great album. Pasi

Great finds. What is a good Zamrock lp to get started? Need to check out the Gary Numan, I don't have anything after the first four which I love. The Saints has been near the top of my want list for a while.

A very busy year for you this year. I don't know how you found the time. Lol. I have that Galas album but I got it from discogs.

Nice vid Steve, but there are too many fake record collectors around...it ain't hubcaps or bottle tops, you know what I'm sayin'...

Great pickups Steve!!! I don’t think I have any of them on vinyl Trying to hold back in 2025 and failing also lol😂 I was shocked when I looked at discogs and saw how many I bought in 2024….. but going to Ann Arbor record show Sunday 😂 Take care Brian ☮️

Hi Steve - Love that Flesheaters album ! Satan's Stomp & Divine Horsemen my favorite tracks. A loved one has been diagnosed with stage four cancer & time is limited so I might not be checking in for a bit. Go Lions 🦁 !!

Nice selections! I have a small amount of Soul and Funk records. I have a good amount of Ohio Players. But overall, soul & funk records aren’t played that much. Definitely some great records though!

Holy cow, you got some really nice records. Im still waiting to get the Angry Samoans to the collection. Nice that also got Flesh Eaters...so cool. You are a lucky bum, cheers

This is a great list, and there are quite a few on here I need to check out! Ducks Ltd is one I've been meaning to try out but still haven't. And I completely forgot about Mdou Moctar when I was working on my own list.... they can never be perfect, I suppose🤷

The Daydrean Nation is a SY thats greatly underrappreciated in the VC

You did get my hopes up with your last reply about the possibilities of finding Dead Kennedys for $3.99, so I'm still looking! And if I can find that for that price, I'll have faith I can find anything (like Sonic Youth, Mother Love Bone and maybe even Bad Brains at 5 for $1. Is that pushing it a bit? I am so happy to see that someone considers Sowing the Seeds of Love so great and I agree, I think it's an amazing album. Yes, what a very successful 2024, some great pickups. Two years ago, I made a resolution that I would find and pick up more Grateful Dead, and it just happened all that year without me even having to try very hard. That was when I found the copy of Europe '72 for a quarter. So, this year, my resolution is going to be More Punk! Now I'm just going to sit back and watch it happen!

"....trying to hold it back this year...." lol Good luck with that Steve. Lots of good records. I didn't know the Kennedys didn't like that orange album cover - I always thought it was much better than the black one. Incredible that you found that Cure album still in shrink. Best wishes for 2025 - don't hold back!

You have kept quiet about your Osmonds sing Metallica box set. Or your original Spice girls first lp. Time you came out the closet and admitted you are the worlds biggest Boney m collector. You have the true spirit of someone who only buys from the front of the shop and your disregard for singles is pathetic. We know all about your selection hardly original.

Fantastic finds! 2024 was a great year! Will 2025 be more grails? Let’s hope so!

Hey Steve! Ah yes, the eternal question, "Do I need it? And even though you answer yourself with "Probably not." There it is. Been there my friend! Cheers!

Wow! Steve some real beauties in there. Zamrock classic. Never even heard that one. The Sonic Youth’s DN is one of my all time favorite. I still remember hearing Teenage Riot for the first time. I can’t tell you how much those words meant to me at the time. Makes me emotional to this day. You have the true spirit of a music lover. Cheers. Shawn.

Tons of great stuff from the year! Don’t worry you have all year to do better no need to start now 😂

Thrifted an original Disintegration when I got back into vinyl collecting...not in perfect condition but definitely very playable. Not sure if I have ever seen one since. Great pickups Steve, the Zamrock collection must be pretty impressive by now. Here's to more finds in 2025

Really nice pickups, especially Sonic Youth and Angry Samoans. Great job, Steve!

Back From Samoa is great.

Hi Steve. Fantastic tag response! You brought out the big guns - Betty Davis, Marvin, War, and Eddie Floyd. I don’t know the Neil Francis record or that Reach Out! album. I’ll check those out on line. I like that you’ve thrown in some more obscure choices. The Dyke & The Blazers record doesn’t come up in the VC too often. Thy was a really cool shout. And you can’t beat Cold Sweat! JB is definitely made for the jukebox. Love it! Cheers. John

Awesome video Steve! I need to get that Dead Kennedys record. Great album. Totally forgot about The Db's. Need to get that in my collection.

Some great additions Steve!

Man, these are all epic finds.OG Sonic Youth is almost impossible to find. I bought Splinter very early on, and I am now stunned by the price it goes for!

I’m delighted with your MOFI Atom Heart Mother too.

I was surprised by how good you are at singing harmonies. 🙃I love that Time album; they were stylish too.Perfect for a Sunday morning. Sam Cook was a really talented guy. He could sing anything and make it sound great. And you can't have a tag without James Brown! I'm going to jump on this one.

Yes I have read the review of Splinter by Gary Newman by Julian Cope and now I shall try it.........

Glad you found all those, Professor - I doubt I would have spent what you probably spent on them, even the Gerry Rafferty, which you know is my all time favorite album, but hey, I get it...heh heh...

Hello. Bette David Ive heard but not Pazant brothers, so I shall try them. What is skunk juice?

I Want You has got to be one of the sexiest songs ever. I love how his voice just floats on that song. The Soul Searchers album is good. I haven't picked that one up yet. The Delfonics are great! Great tag!

Hello Steve; The 2025 Soul & Funk vinyl tag, the funky Steve edition. Starting with Betty ( Ms Miles ) Davis, Marvin gettin' that sexual feelin' Sam & the Stirrers, Johnnie Taylor ( who's makin' love to the old lady ) Dyke looks like he lost his Blazer, Skunk Juicin' with the Pazants, Eddie the Floyd Choppin' on Wood. Some great soul/ funkin' sounds. JB feeling the groove with some Cold Sweat. Take care, Tina & Pat!~

Very entertaining video, Steve.... Sunday morning album..Aretha Franklin../I Never Loved A Man the Way I loved you Album that has a horn section.. Ray Charles at Newport Song that samples another song...MC Hammer samples Rick James "Superfreak" Modern soul record....Any album by Richard "Dimples" Fields

Hey Steve. Great video! Betty Davis and Marvin are a killer Saturday night. James Brown! Dropping my take on this tag tomorrow. Cheers

Thanks for making these videos

I'm into Soul and R&B. The Funk I never thought much of. Sure they had the odd good tune but all in all I wasn't a fan Steve...... In Britain they have a genre they call Northern Soul and some of those records are worth quite a bit of money. I've a lot of 45s from that era.... I don't have Watermelon Man by Hancock I got it by Buddy Guy and Albert King.... For me the last great black music tune was by The Time, "Jungle Love". That tune ought to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. It's a MONSTER.... Back in the R&B days I tore the crotch out of all kinds of dress pants doing the splitz it wasn't funny. I remember my Mum sewing them up one time talking on the phone to a girlfriend and laughing at me spitting my pants all the time. Ahh the Spinners, Bobby Smith their lead singer made that band. And last but not least James Brown. I've some history with that Man. LOL..... Later Gator.....

Betty Davis, excellent choice for Saturday night! Wooohooo Steve the preacher, can I get an Amen? A car chase at 10 mph....who was chasing him, a turtle. Ice Cream Castle is a great album, one that I thought would be easy to find, but I haven't found one yet. Now, Skunk Juice. You know that with an album name like that, it's gonna be dirty funk. I am just like you when talking about those soulful harmonic bands, I hated them growing up, I love them now. And you could obviously be one of The Delfonics, in fact, I bet you were in a previous life. Great response!

Low Rider is a terrific song that I have always loved. I considered doing this, but I might be tagged-out!

I need Knock On Wood by Eddie Floyd. I’m not going anywhere near Bette Davis.

Hey Steve. Great response, I’m really struggling with this year’s tag, or is it next year’s tag? I take it you’re a fan of Zam rock? I don’t have any Partridge Family. I am going to attempt a response soon though, even if I struggle with some of the questions. Beatles or Stones? Sheesh. Cheers.
