Definite beauties here. Yeah, everyone in Canada has at least 1 Prism LP. My Dad did. That Secret Oyster LP looks very interesting. I'll see if I can pick up a stream of it. Oh, FUCK YEAH it was worth it for that pic! NOICE. "Pink Lemonade" is interesting. Nice choice of cut. I have not heard of Ben Nash, but will check out. I mean, Beta Band-esque sounds? Sign. Me. Up! Man. Love all the selections here. Great descriptions of the contents within. Cheers to you, sir. I'm gonna stand by my "VC Legend" assessment!😁
Mr. Shelf, it seems that every video you post is a version of a blind buys show, which is why I’m a sub in the first place. Nice to see you fly the Canadian flag. Alex Harvey looks right up my alley. Cheers.
When I saw the photo of Secret Oyster I thought they look like Captain Beefheart’s later band. What is interesting is that I refused to buy that album based on the way they looked.
Interesting Albums. I'm only familiar with Prism. I like their Style. Similiar Bands i like are City Boy, Shooting Stars und a bit proggier Starcastle. Greetings from🇩🇪🖖
All great bands! I could have shown Starcastle's Citadel LP because that was a blind buy many years ago. I miss the days when I could routinely pick up interesting LPs for the small change in my pocket.
I do love a successful blind buy, it warms me up.I have an old v.a. double lp with a song called 'To Make My Life Beautiful' by Alex Harvey and for a long time I thought it was by THE Alex Harvey but it's that one, a very good song though.
Secret Oyster 10p ! Those were the days , have loads of cheapo albums from Music Video Exchange , the Jazz CDs upstairs are now the equivalent of vinyl back then
I reckon there must be close to 1,000 LPs in my collection that I've acquired from the Record & Tape Exchange (now the Music & Video Exchange) over the last 40 years. Great place for digging, and still bargains to be had. Not too interested in CDs, but probably a golden era for buying the fiddly little silver coasters if that's your thing.
Aha! The non sensational, but still sensational Alex Harvey. That was a good puck up. It took me ages to get my copy of that album, and I'm still trying to get hold of some of his other albums. He was heavily connected to Kenny Rogers, who recorded quite a few of his songs over the years. I actually prefer Kenny Rogers & The First Edition's version of Tulsa Turnaround to Harvey's own take on this album. Although, he did rerecord a swampier version on a later album. I also like his own version of Delta Dawn, which was a huge country hit for a 13 year old Tanya Tucker. There are some great players on the album; most of Area Code 615 (whose track Stone Fox Chase was used as the opening music for The Old Grey Whistle Test), Al Perkins on pedal steel who played with Gram Parsons, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas and Bob Dylan, and backing vocals from Kim Carnes, Tracy Nelson and Kenny Rogers. All good stuff. Cheers - Hedley
Cheers, Hedley. You know your stuff! Hadn't realised it was Area Code 615 on the album, but it's all there in the sleevenotes if I'd bothered to read them. I see that Kenny Rogers was the producer, too. Quite a line-up! I'll keep an eye out for Harvey's other albums. Cheers!
I’m reminded a bit of Tim Hardin as well with that Alex Harvey record. Good one.

You're right, Jack. I love a blind buy! Canadian rock has a special place in my heart. Perhaps I need to dedicate a whole video to it.

I like bands that look like out of work university lecturers who dress themselves in the dark. Just my thing. 😁

@@MrShelf-Stacker Sadly so true, in the moment it is bad time for cheap Records in good shape

Confusing, isn't it!
@@MrShelf-Stacker Yep!

Thanx, I was wondering what you'd think of Alex.
