    Peter Gabriel Box Set! 🙌🏽 I only have Wall of Voodoo with Mexican Radio on it. Melancholy Zevon?! Cool. I could dig that. I saw Love And Rockets with The Pixies and of course the headliner The Cure at Dodger Stadium in 1989. Such a great concert. Yeah bonus tracks first time on vinyl makes for great reissues. OMG OMD. Yes but is it pitch perfect? Dig the OMD. There was a Mudhoney 7” on one of my earlier digs on TVRM but I left it behind. If was the box set I definitely would have brought it home 😂. Great shares, Brian. Have a wonderful vacation! ✌🏽

    I also bought that Wall of Voodoo after watching Richie lol. I still see it in other record stores. You need to do a video on your travels. I love travel videos and seeing new places. I’m thinking about shutting down my channel until you get back.

    Hi Brian. I always enjoy your vinyl finds videos ... Italy is experiencing a heatwave at the moment, with temperatures above 40 centigrade. Have a lovely time, but be careful in the heat. A travelog video would be nice, or a record store video (I'm sure you've researched them already!) ... Warren Zevon was an amazing songwriter, respected by his peers, and with a long and fascinating career. I love the track 'Outside Chance' by the Turtles (from 1967?). It was many years before I realised he'd written it. Have you got the Hindu Love Gods record? I heard someone talking about it the other day ... I would have grabbed that Mudhoney box. A great live band too.

    Brian, there were TWO other bands called The Outsiders. One was from the USA , the other was Dutch, both operated in the 1960's. Check out the tune, ''Touch'' from the Dutch band. The singer from the Ohio- based band went on to sing with Climax, who had a hit with ''Precious And Few''. ZZ Top were huge fans of OMD. They met each other when they both performed on the Old Grey Whistle Test television show. The guys in ZZ Top loved OMD's use of synthesizers and ''stole'' their dance moves for their videos and live act. ZZ Top also played OMD's self-titled album on the P.A. system before their concerts. Enjoy Italy, don't forget extra sun screen and watch out for the pickpockets, usually young kids with cute smiles.

    I remember Mike (PC31) talking about that Outsiders album. One of my first thoughts was the US Outsiders from Ohio that had the hit "Time Won't Let Me" was whether they would have to be known as The English Outsiders like The English Beat. I am interested in that record as I did purchase The Sound record from last year's RSD and they kind of reminded my of Echo & The Bunnymen. I picked up that Warren Zevon record for RSD as well. I have all of his albums but a few I only have on CD. I would like to get the vinyl but at a decent price. With the new OMD purchase, you may have to have an addendum to your recent video series.

      Hey Morten - Thank you very much for taking the time to offer a beer recommendation. I appreciate it! The really sad news is that about 25 years ago I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, so beer - unless it is gluten-free (and not gluten-reduced) - is out for me. We ave a small number of gluten-free beers in Canada, but most are in Quebec and unavailable where I live. There is no true inter-provincial in Canada free-trade, it seems. When I search for gluten-free Italian beers, the one the keeps coming up is Peroni Senza Glutine, and it is not truly gluten-free. I may be forced to have wine, which is not a bad situation 😀
