Harris, l wish my channel had at least one video like this. Once again a video full of humour and superb soundbites. I love DAF, never found any leather bars sadly😅
Nice to see you back Harris. An extended version of Land of Confusion! Sounds like a nightmare. 300% Dynamite, though is pure quality. Pleased you managed to track one down. Cheers Mike
Hey Cheers Mike! I'm loving this Genesis track! 😃...I have sensed some resistance in the comments section..I only like the 'Phil Collins Rolled Up Suit Sleeve' era!
Good morning Harris. I have been wondering where you have been. So good to see you back. That Shellac was a nice find and a super price. I have never seen a copy anywhere since it was released. 🎶I have always liked that Electronic song. It is just so chill and catchy. Not all of the musician team ups deliver the goods. But the Johnny/Bernie collaboration worked. For me it did anyways. 🎵Speaking of musician collaborations. Did I miss you showing the new Morrissey RSD 12" for the song "Interlude" to which he collaborated with Siouxsie Sioux? BTW. I am still scratching my head as to why they would release this particular song? Especially when there are so many other Moz 12" singles that are so much better and so much more in demand. They should have re-released the 5-track French promo for "The Loop". Or maybe go the full length of the RSD field and reissue "You Are The Quarry" for all of the fans who do not own the album on vinyl. Anyways. I am on another Moz rant babble. Did you see the RSD release for "Interlude"? I think it is on colored vinyl and only pressed in the UK. You guys always get better releases than we do here in America. 🎶 Excellent update Harris. The perfect way to start a Sunday morning of VC viewing. Hope to catch up with you soon. Oh. Thanks for the MBV review for their debut "Isn't Anything". Sounds like a quality pressing~ Rob/Boston
Hi Rob...no I was completely unaware of ‘Interlude’...sounds interesting!..& slightly baffling. I thoroughly recommend the MBV remaster if your looking to upgrade..far punchier sound & they haven’t jacked up the price...equivalent of about $30.00. Yes I was very surprised to find a copy of Shellac, Steve’s untimely death has understandably caused the first run to sell out in a day, but I think prices will settle. I think it’s an album you would like Rob, slightly more approachable than usual. Great to hear from you as always...hope all is good in Boston, lovely day here!
@@Harrispilton22 Quite right, what a terrible waste of bandwidth 🤣 Mrs B. rates Saints at 45% to get promoted. That’s actually not too bad coming from a risk manager 😉
Big black were legendary. Loved them from the 80s and didnt bother with Shallac tho. Ill stick with passing complextion, my disco, and jordan minesota. Nice singles man. I never got into Electronic that much either. Good to see you back Harris!
Hi Jason! Yeah Electonic sounded dated on release to me, but by then I was starting to discover stuff coming out of Detroit, Chicago etc, so I was sort of moving on from that sound. Hope all is well mate!
My Shellac arrived on the day of release from Amsterdam. Live in the Netherlands. Pretty expensive for half hour of music but still love it . Think it’s better than the last one which I never play now. Saw them last October in Amsterdam Paradiso. They played there and in Belgium which I think were the very last shows Steve did. Glad I got to see a good few of the new tracks played live. I have to add the Rapeman album in there too. I prefer that to Big Black. You have the Scratch Acid rhythm section. A bit looser and could you say funkier than Shellac. David Sims also from the Jesus Lizard. The best bass player he had in any band he played with
Agree with all that. Goat is an incredible album...up there with a surfer Rosa for me as his production high point!. The Paridiso is a fantastic venue...we got the ferry over a few times from Southampton in the nineties. I love Amsterdam
Good to hear things have worked out mate 👍Good to see you found 300% Dynamite. Still happy to be the Aus postie for anything you're struggling to find, but might be easy to get here. Genesis...you are full of surprises 😂 My new Shellac is still in the mail. I saw them about 4 times over the years. Shit they were good and one of the best was a double bill with Fugazi. Still can't beat those Big Black records though. I so wanted to like Electronic, but just couldn't get into it. Finally someone who likes the best MBV album. Harris I think you've singlehandedly upped my 12" collection. Good to see you back in action mate. Cheers...Ben
Cheers Ben, appreciate your kindness. I’m back in a job & got a deal I can live with...but it was a bit bittersweet....but we move on! 😃 Yeah that Electronic album sounded dated on release! I think you’ll love that Shellac...Todd Trainor is the star on this one....& the sound quality will knock your socks off. I never saw Shellac, but I know people who still talk about their 1995 Phoenix Festival performance as one of the greatest gigs ever. Cheers mate!
Genesis was one of those bands I was forced to watch on MTV, while I waited for videos to come on by bands that I liked. As far as Electronic...I've never been able to get deep into anything Marr did post-Smiths. I've tried, mind you, but nothing grabbed me. As for Bernard...well, I am seeing Peter Hook & The Light in a few months. I'm in Peter's camp!
Hey M..yeah I’m the same with Marr..it’s odd how leaving a band seems to completely dissipate your talent! One of the best gigs I’ve ever seen was Peter Hook & The Light do Brotherhood & Low Life live in 2015, small venue it was incredible. He did a ten minute version of Perfect Kiss.
Hi Harris - Good Luck at Wembley Stadium 🏟 ! Leeds look EPL ready. I'm excited because my New York Knicks have a Game 7 at Madison Square Garden today. Atomizer is one of my favourite albums of the 80's .. reminds me of that band from Leeds Gang Of Four on steroids. There's kerosene around...
Hi David...I went Friday, amazing atmosphere..unfortunately things threatened to get out of hand with a pitch invasion at the end! I was gutted for Norwich..hopefully the Knicks pull through! I’ll keep an eye on that one...I’m a Sacramento Kings man myself! 😂 Tbh I just like watching Charles on TNT!
Harris, DAF - Der Mussolini 12" and leather bars. I bought the albums back in the day and picked up that 12" recently. Fond memories of early 80's watching the Heaven nightclub queue on New Years Eve as we were staying by the Arches for a night out. Actually we saw Divine in Harrods that day also. Great finds with B-52's, Grace Jones 12" singles, shame about the Genesis and Maria McKee ones imo. I have the MBV Isn't Anything original, I have just ordered that reissue as likewise with The Cure's Disintegration LP the original press sounds rubbish (muted, crackly) compared to the later reissue. Love your enthusiasm! Cheers, Paul
Hey cheers Paul! Yeah I never thought the pressing of MBV was that great in the first place, I think you’ll like the repress, guitars Definately more zing & vocals a bit better. Yeah Disintegration was 60 mins..but they wanted us buying CDs at that point so they didn’t give a stuff. Great stories there re London. Ha, I’m a sucker for a 12” guilty pleasure like that Genesis, would never touch the album..but happy to pay a quid...& they always get a few spins! Thanks for watching and commenting Paul..this is the only reason I do these videos, so appreciate it!
@@Harrispilton22 Nice one, will have to check out some more of your videos 🙂 just playing some New Age Steppers, superb - as of course you probably know.
Hey Bea! Thanks...I reckon me & you are in the minority as epode who love disco & Big Black in equal measure...although Vinyl Ritchie is a bit of a dark horse...I reckon he’s reached for the lasers on the dancefloor a few times!
@@Harrispilton22 Dave and I have talked a lot about how the time when we grew up kinda encouraged us to be more eclectic in taste…and I am grateful for it! How boring it would be to be confined to just one genre! (Ps:I love the idea of Richie at a rave☺️ )
Hi Gazza..I was up in The Kingsland Friday, pretty decent atmosphere..probably could have lived with the pitch invasion! Probably watching at home Sunday...could go either way!
@@barriejarvis8759 The West Brom fans were decent tbh..and we’re very patient when the Saints Ultras attempted to confront them on the pitch at the end 😂 They were probably thinking ‘Yeah..sod off lads!’ 😂
Hey Harris, good to see ya! Congrats on Concert Buddie, I'm going to check that out after this! All these years I never knew that Electronic song was about Moz!! You can't go wrong on Grace 12s!
Hey Dewey..yeah, I didn’t either, but did a bit of research on the web. It makes more sense with the chorus ‘I love you more than you love me’ which was Possibly an imaginary reaching out to Marr post split! Cheers fellah!
@@Harrispilton22 With that in mind, it even sounds like something Morrissey would have written. And from what I've read, there's not much love between the Pets and Moz. Cheers my dude!
I love when it's time for Taxi Driver FM! I remember Maria McKee from the band Lone Justice. I still have their debut album on cassette. I'll have to put it on and see if it still plays (I still had a car with a cassette deck until 2008). I'll keep my eyes open for 300% Dynamite. That looks like a real gem.
Hi Arturo! Yeah all the Dynamite series are pretty fantastic. I love a cassette deck. I passed my driving test in 91 & used to play a The Huskers ‘Flip Your Wig’ at full blast! Great memories. A few people in the comments have mentioned ‘Lone Justice? I must investigate, I’m guessing a kind of Cowboy Junkies/KD Lang sound? Thanks as ever Arturo, hope things are all good over with you!
@@Harrispilton22 Lone Justice was part of a country-rock outburst that happened in California is the early-mid 80's, along with bands like The Blasters and Rank & File. It was sometimes called "cowpunk." Sadly, my cassette seems to have died. It was being held together with numerous pieces of Scotch tape.
I don’t dislike Genesis but I don’t really like them either. I love Big Black. I bought the first two Shellac 7”s. Never bought anything else by Shellac. I’ve never seen the Disco Discharge records.
I was being a bit tongue in cheek about Genesis, I actually prefer the Phil Collins pop era..I just haven’t got the patience for the Prog odyssey years! Yeah I’m a bit conflicted with Shellac, it felt to me that They were overthinking it a bit, which is why I like this 28 minute album, any more gets a-bit too much. I imagine the Disco Discharge series was a European label. As I said really I bought this for Iris Muhammad’s ‘Could Heaven Be Like This’ which is really more jazz funk tbh, but pretty uplifting stuff.
Most of the VC has been getting away with it...... Love a bit of Shellac particularly the early ones on 78 rpm (haha jokathon vinyl scavenger hold your laughs in now). Gotta love these old 80/90s 12"s I'm on the lookout now for more I still have a decent amount I kept some cooler ones other more embarrassing. That Genesis was the Spitting image video. I'm on the lookout for spit in your ear spitting image album, hilarious back in the day I gave it away and now want some out of date humour back again. Good luck in your big game next Monday I think? We capitulated and Manchester city just kept it up one better than us. Maybe England will fair better and go one better this summer......
Hi Martin...I’m pretty sure I saw that Spitting Image album in a furniture house clearance shop the other day in Shirley..it was one of this places that sold Naff Elvis Presley albums for about £20.00! I didn’t even look at the price of the Spitting Image album. Yeah Sunday is the day...got offered a ticket today, but I’m going to watch it at my dads house. I went Friday, fairly insane atmosphere tbh, which is unheard of down snoozy St Mary’s. I think England will bring it home.Foden on fire, Harry’s last chance to add a trophy along side his cycling proficiency certificate! 😂
Good stuff. I had pre ordered the Shellac two months ago but the place ran out so I have to wait for the repressed in late June. Lots of cool ass 12” ers.
Hey Cheers Mazzy! Yes I was suprised to see it sitting in HMV on Saturday..but tbf Southampton is a bit of a cultural backwater, so probably no ones ever heard of them down here..as you know even John & Yoko were keen to get away from the place! The drums are going to sound insane on your system....go easy with the bass knob on your amp! (I bet you don’t have a bass knob) 😂
Hi Harris, up til now I had no idea who Shellac or Steve Albini were but i put a track by them on a playlist last week (the rambler song) as the drumming really fitted the mix! That Disco Discharge comp’ looks good.. have you heard/got any of the “Too Slow To Disco” compilations? Some great tracks on those.
Hi Ed...I Definately have heard of those comps..I think Overdraft have stocked them...but have never investigated...must change that! I guess you know the Iris Muhammad track, it’s incredible. I’m suprised you’ve never of Big Black, your knowledge is pretty far ranging. Yeah the drumming on this Shellac album is insane, quite Bonham like at times! Speak to you soon Ed. 😊
@@Harrispilton22I kept hearing the name Steve Albini on livestreams (as he’d died) but never realised he did lots of production work too. The drumming was very Bonham… reminded me of Gainsbourg style too! That Idris Mohammad track is a classic, not heard it for years.
I understand work craziness, I hired a pool cleaning crew and lost 3 within two days. Back to scrambling to find help, sucks. Amazing power you have. Groups are going to be calling you paying you money to not listen to their albums. Some rap dudes are going to pay you to listen to some of their completions. Dead artist everywhere. Let’s really test your powers, listen to Keith Richards solo albums. Let’s see how powerful you really are! Rock Lobster is one of my all time favorite songs. Until next month when you post again
Ha,ha. Very true Steve! It has been quite a demanding two months with a curveball redundancy...which was handled quite poorly...but enough of that! I’m back on my feet. Steve I don’t think you’ve ever owned ‘Isn’t Anything’ by MBV...I think you would really like it, it’s Sonic Youth meets the Melody of Husker Du!
Good quip about drum machines and forgetting how to play their instruments ! Either way, if I see that Genesis 12".. I will pick one up. Right.. B52's, "Rock Lobster" is great to have on 12". I just brought home "Roam" from Bill's on Wednesday. Grace Jones "Slave To Rhythm and Maria McKee's "Show Me Heaven would be 12" I would buy as well ! I can't remember listening to Shellac.. Bummer about Steve Albini, though. It brought to everyone's attention how important he is / was !
Hey JT I've hit 'Roam' on a 12" Shellac are decent but I much prefer Big Black! I've taken alot of heat showing that Genesis 12" ..some people can't handle the truth! Hope all is well with the family JT!
@@Harrispilton22 So funny, and some folks are a bit snobby about music, especially if it has commercial value. I will.give Big Black a listen, I never have, or..I Don't remember. 🎵 See you on your next vid..
Hi Dale, I didn’t realise Maria McKee was in the band alone Justive, which someone has just pointed out to me...I need to check them out, I’m guessing a kind of 10000 Maniacs/Cowboy Junkies sound?
I love Rapeman & Shellac, have all their releases on vinyl. Big black isn’t for me, lacks the adventurous groove element which drives both Rapeman & Shellac. I saw Shellac live at the Paradiso in Amsterdam at the Tegentonen Festival years ago, great memories. The new Shellac album is a truly masterpiece. So sad that Steve Albini has passed.
That’s really interesting. Someone else in the comments mentioned they saw Rapeman at the Paradiso, great venue. I know people who saw them at The Phoenix Festival in 95 & said it’s the greatest gig they’ve ever seen. I do prefer Big Black over Shellac, it may be that it’s is just so tied to my youth & the memories of discovering Big Black/Butthole Surfers/Sonic Youth...it was a whole new musical language for me. Thanks for your comment!
Crazy price. I think I’ve only paid over £30.00 for a record a handful of times in my life. The daft thing is it’s sold out it’s first run due to Albini’s death and copies are now going for £100 plus!! It'll be repressed soon so prices will level off.Yeah Shellac are a bit of an acquired taste, not dissimilar to Big Black..but imo not as good.
My Bloody Valentine I have avoided just because of how terrible name they have. How can it be good? But how you describe that album makes me want to check it out.
Hey Mika. I showed the ep ‘You Made Me Realise’ which is an absolute belter of a track. Huge riff. Their next album ‘isn’t anything’is great too tracks like ‘Sueisfine’ ‘When you Wake Your Still In A Dream’ & Cupid Come’ The were big fans of Husker Du & Dinosaur...their big album ‘Loveless’ I don’t like
Not much to say about that lot. All a bit noisy. Music I leave for those cooler than I to listen to. My ears pricked up though at the mention of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. Now we’re talking. Disco swing band music. Genius!
Hey Headley, yeah a I’ve got the Dr Buzzard album...all killer, no filler! Sorry this wasn’t to your taste...just wait until my hoedown spectacular next month...this will all be a deist ant memory! 😂
Electronic were a bit patchy when push comes to shove, you think its going to be an all you can eat buffet but its only 5 items! Shellac to me sound like a -low sperm count- mating of Pixies and Beastie boys, but that's just me! Leather bars? 🤔
Ha,ha! I put a comment on your ‘Big’ video Stevie...but it’s probably got lost with the other 6000 😂 On a serious note I hope you can monetise that? I wasn’t sure where you stood?
@@Harrispilton22 Hi Harris, I did see your comment. I have been away (attempting a holiday) so I am building up to replying. As a/the new Leader of the Vinyl Community I now have to choose my words carefully you understand!! Glad you got the employment situation sorted, I'd hate to think what you'd get up to with the same time on your hands as me ; ) 👍
@@SteviesVinylCupboard cheers. It was a total mess & ive had to seriously trade down...but I did negotiate a settlement...it kind of ended as a score draw!
Ha,ha. I’m guessing asking her to ‘Like & Subscribe’ is out of the question 😂 Warning these are all pretty noisy records! .’Atomiser’ by Big Black is pretty brutal, but the guitar playing is insane. ‘Isn’t Anything’ by MBV is very distorted pop. If you get them, I hope you enjoy them! Cheers my friend!
I had no truck with singles when I restarted my vinyl collection, but there was some stuff missing. It was only when you mentioned UK 12" I realised what it was. All those extended tracks and B sides. Gives me a whole other collecting task 🫤
Hey, it’s a rabbit hole! Easier to find in the U.K. than America. Sound quality is always phenomenal with 5 to 10 minutes of music on one side . I’m addicted to them...& in the main they are fairly cheap!
Harris, l wish my channel had at least one video like this. Once again a video full of humour and superb soundbites. I love DAF, never found any leather bars sadly😅
Ha,ha, thanks Mike, it’s all nervous energy, I haven’t got a clue what I’m going to say most of the time, it all just flies out! Cheers again mate! 😊
Land of Confusion is truly not bad. That's a killer Electronic track. When I heard the full album, I was underwhelmed, but I think it has gown on me!
Nice to see you back Harris. An extended version of Land of Confusion! Sounds like a nightmare. 300% Dynamite, though is pure quality. Pleased you managed to track one down. Cheers Mike

Good luck in your big game next Monday I think? We capitulated and Manchester city just kept it up one better than us. Maybe England will fair better and go one better this summer......
Hi Martin...I’m pretty sure I saw that Spitting Image album in a furniture house clearance shop the other day in Shirley..it was one of this places that sold Naff Elvis Presley albums for about £20.00! I didn’t even look at the price of the Spitting Image album. Yeah Sunday is the day...got offered a ticket today, but I’m going to watch it at my dads house. I went Friday, fairly insane atmosphere tbh, which is unheard of down snoozy St Mary’s. I think England will bring it home.Foden on fire, Harry’s last chance to add a trophy along side his cycling proficiency certificate! 😂
Good stuff. I had pre ordered the Shellac two months ago but the place ran out so I have to wait for the repressed in late June. Lots of cool ass 12” ers.
Hey Cheers Mazzy! Yes I was suprised to see it sitting in HMV on Saturday..but tbf Southampton is a bit of a cultural backwater, so probably no ones ever heard of them down here..as you know even John & Yoko were keen to get away from the place! The drums are going to sound insane on your system....go easy with the bass knob on your amp! (I bet you don’t have a bass knob) 😂
@@Harrispilton22 hshshs. I don’t have a bass knob. 😎🤠
Hi Harris, up til now I had no idea who Shellac or Steve Albini were but i put a track by them on a playlist last week (the rambler song) as the drumming really fitted the mix! That Disco Discharge comp’ looks good.. have you heard/got any of the “Too Slow To Disco” compilations? Some great tracks on those.
Hi Ed...I Definately have heard of those comps..I think Overdraft have stocked them...but have never investigated...must change that! I guess you know the Iris Muhammad track, it’s incredible. I’m suprised you’ve never of Big Black, your knowledge is pretty far ranging. Yeah the drumming on this Shellac album is insane, quite Bonham like at times! Speak to you soon Ed. 😊
@@Harrispilton22I kept hearing the name Steve Albini on livestreams (as he’d died) but never realised he did lots of production work too. The drumming was very Bonham… reminded me of Gainsbourg style too! That Idris Mohammad track is a classic, not heard it for years.
I understand work craziness, I hired a pool cleaning crew and lost 3 within two days. Back to scrambling to find help, sucks. Amazing power you have. Groups are going to be calling you paying you money to not listen to their albums. Some rap dudes are going to pay you to listen to some of their completions. Dead artist everywhere. Let’s really test your powers, listen to Keith Richards solo albums. Let’s see how powerful you really are! Rock Lobster is one of my all time favorite songs. Until next month when you post again
Ha,ha. Very true Steve! It has been quite a demanding two months with a curveball redundancy...which was handled quite poorly...but enough of that! I’m back on my feet. Steve I don’t think you’ve ever owned ‘Isn’t Anything’ by MBV...I think you would really like it, it’s Sonic Youth meets the Melody of Husker Du!
AWESOME PICK UPS H.P!!!!!!!...........I will post a short vid showing my 12 inch muscle leanie which has a different cover
Will being popping over in a minute!..that’s if I’m not in a leather bar!
@@Harrispilton22 !!!
Check out Lone Justice the band Maria MCKee led. Many vids on UA-cam. I think you will enjoy!!
Cheers Greg I will, I’ve Definitely heard of them! Fantastic voice.
Good quip about drum machines and forgetting how to play their instruments ! Either way, if I see that Genesis 12".. I will pick one up. Right.. B52's, "Rock Lobster" is great to have on 12". I just brought home "Roam" from Bill's on Wednesday. Grace Jones "Slave To Rhythm and Maria McKee's "Show Me Heaven would be 12" I would buy as well ! I can't remember listening to Shellac.. Bummer about Steve Albini, though. It brought to everyone's attention how important he is / was !
Hey JT I've hit 'Roam' on a 12" Shellac are decent but I much prefer Big Black! I've taken alot of heat showing that Genesis 12" ..some people can't handle the truth! Hope all is well with the family JT!
@@Harrispilton22 So funny, and some folks are a bit snobby about music, especially if it has commercial value. I will.give Big Black a listen, I never have, or..I Don't remember. 🎵 See you on your next vid..
@@jtsrecordroom3963 The album ‘atomiser’ is a good starting point....but it’s pretty brutal?
I'll listen.. Brutal is alright in my book ! 🎵 I like a lot of different music, it won't be a big stretch for me.
Really interesting sounds coming out of that first track on Big Black " Atomizer". Almost industrial, but unique..
Nice B52's 12. Never really a fan of Electronic either but agree that's a good song. Maria Mckee would have you crying into you takeaway...
Hi Dale, I didn’t realise Maria McKee was in the band alone Justive, which someone has just pointed out to me...I need to check them out, I’m guessing a kind of 10000 Maniacs/Cowboy Junkies sound?
I love Rapeman & Shellac, have all their releases on vinyl. Big black isn’t for me, lacks the adventurous groove element which drives both Rapeman & Shellac. I saw Shellac live at the Paradiso in Amsterdam at the Tegentonen Festival years ago, great memories. The new Shellac album is a truly masterpiece. So sad that Steve Albini has passed.
That’s really interesting. Someone else in the comments mentioned they saw Rapeman at the Paradiso, great venue. I know people who saw them at The Phoenix Festival in 95 & said it’s the greatest gig they’ve ever seen. I do prefer Big Black over Shellac, it may be that it’s is just so tied to my youth & the memories of discovering Big Black/Butthole Surfers/Sonic Youth...it was a whole new musical language for me. Thanks for your comment!
£37.99? We’re going to need mortgage advisors soon. I bought Atomiser back in the day but have never even heard Shellac.
Crazy price. I think I’ve only paid over £30.00 for a record a handful of times in my life. The daft thing is it’s sold out it’s first run due to Albini’s death and copies are now going for £100 plus!! It'll be repressed soon so prices will level off.Yeah Shellac are a bit of an acquired taste, not dissimilar to Big Black..but imo not as good.
My Bloody Valentine I have avoided just because of how terrible name they have. How can it be good? But how you describe that album makes me want to check it out.
Hey Mika. I showed the ep ‘You Made Me Realise’ which is an absolute belter of a track. Huge riff. Their next album ‘isn’t anything’is great too tracks like ‘Sueisfine’ ‘When you Wake Your Still In A Dream’ & Cupid Come’ The were big fans of Husker Du & Dinosaur...their big album ‘Loveless’ I don’t like
Not much to say about that lot. All a bit noisy. Music I leave for those cooler than I to listen to. My ears pricked up though at the mention of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. Now we’re talking. Disco swing band music. Genius!
Hey Headley, yeah a I’ve got the Dr Buzzard album...all killer, no filler! Sorry this wasn’t to your taste...just wait until my hoedown spectacular next month...this will all be a deist ant memory! 😂
Hi 👋 Harris. I like Rock Lobster too. 🦞 Goin down down down . Planet Claire is cool too. I bought their debut album in 1979 on vinyl. Crazy good too.
Yes! Love the B-52’s debut. Side 1 is a s good as it gets, sounds amazing too!
@Harrispilton22 It was known as New Wave music post punk. Crazy good music
Electronic were a bit patchy when push comes to shove, you think its going to be an all you can eat buffet but its only 5 items! Shellac to me sound like a -low sperm count- mating of Pixies and Beastie boys, but that's just me!
Leather bars? 🤔
Ha,ha! I put a comment on your ‘Big’ video Stevie...but it’s probably got lost with the other 6000 😂 On a serious note I hope you can monetise that? I wasn’t sure where you stood?
@@Harrispilton22 Hi Harris, I did see your comment. I have been away (attempting a holiday) so I am building up to replying. As a/the new Leader of the Vinyl Community I now have to choose my words carefully you understand!! Glad you got the employment situation sorted, I'd hate to think what you'd get up to with the same time on your hands as me ; ) 👍
@@SteviesVinylCupboard cheers. It was a total mess & ive had to seriously trade down...but I did negotiate a settlement...it kind of ended as a score draw!
@@Harrispilton22 I've been there, believe me, a score draw or a stalemate is a big win. Cheers
Sigh. I guess we're just going to have to keep waiting for Harris' Coldplay rankings video.
I’m working feverishly on it as we speak Joe! 😂
Memo to myself need to pick up Shellac/Big Black/Bloody Valentine this week (defo no Genesis) - Oh how my wife hates you Harris 🤭
Ha,ha. I’m guessing asking her to ‘Like & Subscribe’ is out of the question 😂 Warning these are all pretty noisy records! .’Atomiser’ by Big Black is pretty brutal, but the guitar playing is insane. ‘Isn’t Anything’ by MBV is very distorted pop. If you get them, I hope you enjoy them! Cheers my friend!
I had no truck with singles when I restarted my vinyl collection, but there was some stuff missing. It was only when you mentioned UK 12" I realised what it was. All those extended tracks and B sides. Gives me a whole other collecting task 🫤
Hey, it’s a rabbit hole! Easier to find in the U.K. than America. Sound quality is always phenomenal with 5 to 10 minutes of music on one side . I’m addicted to them...& in the main they are fairly cheap!
@Harrispilton22 Yes, I picked up four for twenty quid the other week, and they all sound fantastic.
