Good morning Chris thank you for another fantastic video i have the Motown ones on vinyl never seen or heard of a lot of these but definitely will be checking some of these out thank you so much for all your joyous videos been listening to magazine the correct use of soap and aja by steely Dan this last few days awesome
Small nip of bourbon and this to accompany a summer salad, thank you!! Must look for that Purple People LP. Had to smile about Rupert Hine - his 1979 hit with Quantum Jump(The Lone Ranger)... always delivers and is this ageing punks ringtone! The Vaultage Albums from Brighton still stand up today. Thank you, Ian.
Great picks, some of those compilation albums are making my mouth water. I'll be on the lookout for that electronic collection. 😃Most of the samplers I bought were from about 1977 to 1982 and here's a few of them. Wanna buy a Bridge? It's a Rough Trade sampler. Fast Product was a Passport label compilation with Gang of Four and early Human League. A Bunch of Stiff Records had the usual suspects on it including Motorhead, didn't know they were on Stiff. The Stiff Records one is my favorite and the others have a lot of cool new wave and post-punk bands. What I love about samplers is you get to hear tracks by bands that you're not sure if you want to invest your hard earned money in. Sometimes based on what's on the sampler you would go out and buy an album by a certain band and ending up falling in love with it which is always very cool.
Hi Chris I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one to send off for the Sounds albums! My favourite one was one you didn't show, the Stiff sampler. A good enough album to get me to buy Juppanese (Mickey Jupp) and Frogs & Sprouts, Cloggs & Krauts (The Rumour). I also had one called Charisma Disturbance but have no idea what happened what happened to it.
Thanks Chris, i bet you have one of the best collections of these sort of albums in the country. I like the 1978 collection of private label acts called 'Business Unusual-The Other Record Collection' and the punk album '20 of Another Kind' , plus the Island Records reggee cellection, 'One Big Happy Family' is an interesting sampler.
Hi Chris, what a collection of samplers. In 72 the Fruity Warner Bros LP Introduced me to Alice Cooper, America and Ry Cooder which I've collected ever since. Another one to look out for is the BBC Old Grey Whistle Test sampler which was released in 1975 which has an interesting selection. Cheers Mike.
I was at boarding school in Lancashire throughout the late 60s into the 70s. It is hard to overestimate how popular and influential many of these samplers were. We all had Nice Enough to Eat, Bumpers, Picnic, Rock Machine Turns You On, Wowie Zowie and the Gutbuckets etc. However, I don't recall them ever prompting us to go and buy a full album by any of the bands. Instead we were far more influenced by the rare occasions when (what are now) classic rockers were seen on the telly. As regards " missing some", you left out the whole Warner Brothers 2LP Loss Leader series, starting with :The 1969 Warner/Reprise Songbook" followed by "....Record Show" etc. including the best known "Big Ball", "Schlagers" "Loonie Tunes" - 3LP set, "Deep Ear" and "Whole Burbank Catalogue". These often contained obscure tracks, B-sides and other rarities such as mono versions of tracks only available in stereo on the full LP. I have about 12 of them but there are just as many I have never seen - even here on the West Coast.
Hi Chris, another good one. Gotta few of these, also got some great Cooking Vinyl samplers over the years. Favourites though are the Cash Cows Virgin sampler, the variety & quality is stunning & Dindisc 80, every track superb, Rezillos, OMD, Monochrome Set, Martha & The Muffins, it's a great album. Did we lose the sampler when the labels got together & started churning out the Now albums? Apart from Cooking Vinyl I can't recall seeing any, I like the New Roots album but that's more a compilation than a sampler. Cheers 👍🕺
Omg Chris I have a lot of these I have a frightening amount of these albums and many others yep cutting out vouchers to send off for albums! Great stuff! Everybody has Killer watts album! Guillotine was great! 👍
Hi Chris, lots of brilliant choices there, I never really got into the sampler records until later on, but like you the first one i did buy was the New Wave (obviously). But never bought any more until the 90's I think. I did go through a faze of just buying live albums and bootlegs, just to see how they sounded. The bootlegs were a bit dodgy though. 😂 Another great video. Hanx... See what i did there, SLF.😊
I quite like the Virgin Records reggae sampler The Front Line, from the late 1970's (?): Front Line was the imprint that they set up to try to compete with Island Records. It has a couple of tracks from U-Roy and the Mighty Diamonds, plus tracks from I-Roy and Delroy Washington.
Only one I have (bearing in mind I'm a few years younger) is the Beggars Banquet/Situation 2 sampler One Pound Ninety-Nine - A Music Sampler of the State of Things. The Icicle Works, Peter Murphy, Gene Loves Jezebel, John Cale, Love and Rockets, The Ramones, The Cult, The Fall, Nico, Bauhaus, The Bolshoi and The Hank Wangford Band. £1.99 spent mostly well!
Hi Chris, first off apologies, I'm very, very, very behind in watching you videos (and others) - health issue got in the way. Will be going back and catching up as I see there's lots of interesting subjects (though not sure about the one claiming 1980 was the best ever year 😱). I absolutely love my label samplers, in fact around 3 years ago I did 3 videos showing my collection of them. My very first sampler was the wonderful 'V' from Virgin. I also sent away for those two Sounds samplers - there was another Sounds / CBS sampler too including acts like Santana, Kansas, Mahogany Rush, Lone Star, Aerosmith and Cheap Trick among others. Can't stand Trees and Fairport - wash your mouth (and ears) out!!! Folk is the best genre after prog! Though agree about Nick Drake. That New Age of Atlantic sampler was notable for including Yes's version of Paul Simon's America which was unreleased at the time. Need to get the Elektra Garden of Delight sampler into my collection - a near mint copy will set you back £20-25, though VG+ copies are cheaper - never seen it out in the wild though. Pete Brown was Jack Bruce's writing partner - he co-wrote I feel Free, White Room and Sunshine of Your Love among others for Cream. Freedom were a Procol Harum off-shoot. Nice video sir (except for the folk comments)... all the best... Pete
Didn’t know that about Pete Brown. Thanks. 1980 best year for rock - definitely a contender. Together with 72ish. I struggle with folk I’m afraid. Just can’t listen to a minute of it. Hope you are in the mend my friend. Stopped briefly up your way recently on way back from Northumberland. It rained so we abandoned. Cheers my friend, Chris
In the 70s I was given an Island records sampler album. Tracks I remember were Snow Blind Friend by Steppenwolf and Funk 49 by the James Gang. Album long lost I'm afraid
If you can't stand Trees sit down. 2 of my favourite lps are by folk groups. Try String Driven thing - sold down the river and Spirogyra - the future wont be long. Don't ignore give them a listen Nick Drake/Trees they are not. You missed out at least 3 Dawn samplers. Heres some info for you late sixties/early seventies people got fed up buying new but scratched records because they had been played in the shop. So many companys bought out their own samplers for the shops to play. These were limited. I even have a crisp company CBS sampler plus one that came with a cake stand. I notice all yours are LPs yet there were far more on cassettes before the introduction of cds. As the Groundhogs would say you are just Scratching the surface.
Most collections are just scratching the surface unless you infinite amounts of money and space. I didn’t miss any. I showed all I own. Folk is one of those genres I will never get in to. Cheers my friend, Chris
Great video, very happy to subscribe. Loved your punk album video too. Plus you are a very handsome man which is no bad thing. Like you can't stand folk music 😅
Some excellent comps there - I love these type of albums as they are a mini time capsule 💊. Another interesting video 🎉❤
Great way to describe them. Cheers, Chris
Hi Chris, good trawl here, I loved the Bumpers album in particular !
There’s some great songs on most of them. And some absolute shite too!!
Good morning Chris thank you for another fantastic video i have the Motown ones on vinyl never seen or heard of a lot of these but definitely will be checking some of these out thank you so much for all your joyous videos been listening to magazine the correct use of soap and aja by steely Dan this last few days awesome
Have just revisited Magazine myself. Thanks for your support and kind words Steve. Have a lovely weekend, Chris

The CBS Rock Buster sampler features a young Arnold Schwarzenegger as the cover star.
Yes it does. Cheers Michael

Missing loads tbh. Business unusual. I have seen that one I think. Has it got Leyton Buzzards on it? 20 of another is more of a comp I think?
@@TheVinylOrchard Your right Chris, Leyton Buzzards are on it, many of the group became Modern Romance.
@nickcooper1260 I didn’t know that!

We all have a genre limit! I love a bit of folk but jazz, and drum and bass...aaaaargh! Many thanks!
Drum and bass, rap, folk. All no nos for me
