I have been watching vinyl channels for some time and all seem to be Beatles this Beatles that, Jazz this Jazz that type channels, then I found your channel and how refreshing to see someone talk about all types of albums I never heard about from groups I didn't know existed. I have since started looking for post punk, punk, and rock albums from off the wall groups that only die hard collectors would know.
Thank you for the compliment. Yes, the vinyl community is pretty oversaturated with Beatles and jazz collectors. However, I can't knock any of them. I like the Beatles, but you won't see me collecting every version/pressing of all their albums, etc. I don't remember the last time I showed any Beatles on my channel. I do show jazz on occasion, though!
What you will find here is mostly post punk, punk, shoegaze, jangle, college rock, and power pop! Those are my passions and I'm happy to be a channel to cater to those with more similar and offbeat music taste! So much music out there to explore! Cheers!
Hanna has the best taste in music of anyone in the vinyl community (aside from not being into Jonathan Richman ;-) ), you've picked the right person to follow.
Haha, thank you! And I love that Modern Lovers' debut so I don't totally dislike Jonathan!
Nice finds from the show, Hanna -for me particularly This Mortal Coil and the Ruts! Have fun spinning!
Thanks, Rando! I really wasn't expecting to find much at the show, but it held some goodies! Later!
I'm so glad to see...well...anybody supporting The Verlaines. I'm a huge fan and the re-issue of Bird Dog was top of my list on this RSD. One of my favorite bands of all time for sure.
Hi Jeremy! Yeah, what a treat that Bird Dog has FINALLY been released! About damn time! Brilliant band! I appreciate you checking in!
Hey Jeremy, the Verlaines are a special band, for sure! I love how all the “wrong notes” seem too perfect for words. They are one of the bands I have to play loud!
Some great pickups Hannah. This Mortal Coil worth the visit alone, a masterpiece. I love the Monochrome Set, such an original sound and those guys have a wonderful sense of humour. Eligible Bachelors my fave. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the new additions to your collection.
Thank you, Brett! This Mortal Coil definitely had the best of the best! What a group! I hope to find Eligible Bachelors on vinyl from the Monochrome Set in the future! Appreciate you stopping by for this one!
Hi Hanna. Great Scott Walker pick up. 12" Black Market Clash also cool. Keep on Rockin'
Rock on! Really happy with the finds from this show! I appreciate you always checking in! Rock on!
Awesome finds Hanna. Familiar with everything except James and Velvet Crush . I love Monochrome Set too and I also like Monochrome Bleu. Listening to Big Stir the second wave, Hoo, and Red Rose Speedway by Macca. Have a nice weekend.
I think you will really dig this Velvet Crush album! Give it a sample! You've been spinning some choice tunes lately, I see! Great to hear from you!
Keep the laser focus at record shows - the documentation happens in your videos. Thanks for your work & love of rock❤.
I truly appreciate the sweet comment, Perry! Thank you! And yes, you know it's all about the rock and all of its fabulous subgenres with me! 😀❤️
Hello again
This Mortal Coil first is masterpiece and I look forward to your Suzy and Banshees review.
A new/secondhand shop opened today here in Stockholm Skimthrough central thought name was fun...
Hello hello! Oh, thank you for the interest in the Siouxsie & the Banshees ranking! Have fun shopping at that new secondhand store! Yay! Cheers!
Holy moly! What a great haul! All from one show.
That was a huge nostalgic flashback seeing that Cherry Red compilation. A friend in high school had that and we passed it around getting a few days with it each. I am sure it was foundational in setting so many of my favorite bands.
You may already have it but there is another Cherry Red comp called Pilows & Prayers that covers a bunch of independent artists from the era. Not as seminal as Burning Ambitions but still great.
This Mortal Coil's version of Song To The Siren may be one of my top 5 songs. I am sure it sounds amazing on vinyl.
You really sum up what happened with Simple Minds very well. Strange as it may seem U2, Echo & the Bunnymen, and Simple Minds were all fighting to become big stadium acts and conquer America. Obviously, U2 won that race. But it really hurt Simple Minds in the attempt. Waterfront is the most obvious example of that awful stadium sound. Oh, and that awful cover of Street Hassle.
C O D E is absolutely lower-tier Cabaret Voltaire. But persevere as all Cabs is interesting, even as they got a little more commercial. You have Red Mecca, that and The Voice of America are my absolute favorites.
I am ambivalent about The Clash. But lean more toward London Calling than the debut. Black Market Clash is a nice collection of reggae and soul covers. That 10" and The Fall's Slates were my only discs at that size for a while.
Babylon's Buring! I need to give that a spin. Malcolm Owen's death was overshadowed by Ian Curtis'. They died within a couple of days of each other. Owen & the early Ruts deserved more attention.
Alright, I could talk about pretty much every find. Scott Walker - Monochrome Set - Verlaines!
Thanks for sharing, another great video!
Hey there, Richard, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on my pickups as always! Ah, I'll have to look up Pillows and Prayers from Cherry Red. Marine Girls, Felt, and Monochrome Set on it - NICE!
Oh, very cool to read that TMC's Song to the Siren is possibly in your top 5 songs! I think there are some issues with this remaster. I will be on the hunt for an original, of course.
Yeah, Sparkle in the Rain is pretty dreadful. I honestly don't see myself playing it again to be completely honest. Pretty forgettable...
I'm gonna be looking more into earlier Cabaret Voltaire. I simply haven't heard enough so I look forward to that listening journey!
Oh, I had no idea that Malcolm Owen and Ian Curtis died within days of each other. Agree that Ruts didn't get enough attention/praise. This is such a fantastic LP! Hope you can spin it soon! Later, my friend!
Good Morning 🌄 Hanna ! Micro-Phonies from 1984 is my favorite Cabaret Voltaire album has the club hit Sensoria on it. Remarkable that Cherry Red which was a smallish indie label in the 80's in now the # 1 reissue label. That's a difficult Simpleminds album. It rocks hard & is heavy on the drums 🥁 but a bit lacking in intimacy ! Up On The Catwalk is a great opener. The bass 🔊 on Waterfront was nicked by Tears For Fears on their smash Everybody Wants To Rule The World. Looking forward to Siouxsie album rankings ! Kaleidoscope # 1 for me ✌️
Good afternoon, David! Yeah, Cherry Red has really evolved, huh? I really love all the CD box sets they've been releasing! I'll check out Micro-Phonies by CV, thanks! To say this is a difficult Simple Minds album is an understatement! Not sure I will really be able to get into it. Oh, how awesome that Kaleidoscope is your #1 album from Siouxsie & the Bs! That was actually the very first album I heard by them and it remains a special one! ❤️👏🏻
The wall along the back is an absolutely perfect selection of records!!! ❤️🙌
Thank you! I definitely tried to coordinate the wall with the other albums shown in this video! Take care!
Hey Hanna! Always good to have a new video from you. Looks like you had a nice haul at the NE show. In your honor, I'm going to play The Ruts 'The Crack' and 'Grin + Bear It' which CD fans (we're still out here) can pick up on a 2-on-1 disc. Be good and take care!
Hi Jared. Hope you didn't miss me showing that very CD in this video as well! Cheers, and rock on! :-)
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Duh -- clearly I did miss that part -- I'm so sorry. Totally unrelated, have you heard of Ted Lukas? He's a power pop guy. I literally stumbled upon him. He has a solo album titled 'Misled' (2008) that's really good. He's also released albums as Ted Lukas & The Misled (a little confusing if you're trying to find his solo album). Definitely worth a listen if you get a spare moment.
No harm done at all, Jared! I have not heard of Ted Lukas at all. Just wrote him down in my notebook of names to sample. So much music out there! Can't keep up with it all! We're never bored, that's for sure!
Congrats. I have never gone to a record show but it's definitely on my list of things to do. Love that Velvet Crush album!
Much thanks! Oh, you must go to a record show in the future. It's heaven for record collectors! 😊 Cheers to you!
Hello 👱♀Hanna; Always nice to attend & enjoy an area record 💰show. Hoping to find sought after vinyl & anything that grabs the eye.The History of Punk was around years back, have not seen it recently. Some rare pick ups with Black Market Clash, The Ruts & Scott Walker. Lots more vinyl to find! Take care, 🙎♀Tina & 🙎♂Pat!~
Greetings, Tina and Pat! Hope all is well where you are! Yeah, I think this punk comp was released in '82! What a well put together comp, that's for sure! See you next time!
Congrats on finding that Ruts album. It's definitely a classic of the time, although, it seems to fall under the radar somewhat. After Malcolm Owen died the rest of the band kept going as Ruts DC and made a great album titled Animal Now that is almost as classic as The Crack. Give that one a listen if you haven't hear it. That Strange Boutique album by Monochrome Set, I think is a great one. It took me a lot of listens to get there but I really enjoy listening to it now. It might help to know ( if you don't already) that Andy Warren on bass and Lester Square on guitar were both previously members of Adam & The Ants. Whenever I listen to that album I can hear a little bit of Adam & The Ants.
Some great finds there Hanna - Scott is a favourite of mine. His first four solo records are all well worth having and each one is better than the last - then he gets a little, erm, shall we say - "challenging" 😀
Hi Johnny! Hehe, yeah, that seems to be the consensus with Scott Walker's output. I'm definitely looking for his 3rd and 4th albums the most. Hope I come across them in the future! Cheers and hope all is well!
Cool that you found the "This Mortal Coil" album with "Song to the Siren". I do enjoy the Big Star covers on that too (I like the originals better though) Another interesting 80's indie "Supergroup" were "The Golden Palominos"...Lots of cool folks on their early albums and nice cover songs.
Amazing find on that" Scott" Album. The other 3 are great too, maybe even better.
I don't know if you remember an 80's band called "China Crisis" I only had one of their albums and it was produced by Walter Becker. It does kinda sounded like Steely Dan at times too! It's called "Flaunt The Imperfection" It's the only album of theirs that I have so I can't vouch for the quality of the others but it's interesting.
Great video once again.
Hi Al! I do prefer the original Big Star songs as well but these are notable covers. The Golden Palominos were great. I have nothing from them yet, though. Nice mention!
I need to get some China Crisis into the collection. Should have grabbed one I saw at the record show but they're not too hard to find! Cheers, and so glad you enjoyed seeing my record show finds here!
Nice pickups! Great score on that $2 Siouxsie! The Monochrome Set?? I’m always learning something from your videos!
Thanks so much! Pretty exciting to have found The Scream for $2, and it's an original! Hope you like The Monochrome Set after you sample them! Cheers!
I can see that you're happy to add these to your collection. Its eerie to see how your collection and mine overlap so much. I have several early Simple Minds. You should listen to their live album City of Light. Its less polished less overproduced than their studio albums. I have Monochrome Set, Love Zombies and Eligible Bachelors on vinyl too. I don't care much for Scot Walker. Hope your hay fever clears soon.
Greetings! I'll definitely be on the hunt for City of Light by SM! Love love love their early period. I hope I can find more Monochrome Set in the future! Congrats on having those 3 by them on vinyl! Goals! See you next time! Thank you!
James is a great find. My wife's favourite band. We are off to see them live twice later this month. Great video as always!
Hi Jason! Thanks for watching! Oh, super jealous that you will be seeing James twice this month. Incredible! Have fun you two! Cheers!
It looks like you picked up some good ones .
I love that Ruts album , and I have that CD compilation that you showed .
I will have to look for that History of Punk compilation .
Thanks for the recommendations !!!
Teenage Symphonies to God may be my favorite album ever, not the best, but my favorite. I'm still waiting for my copy of the new release to arrive. Thankfully I have two original copies on vinyl (one fully signed). I'm glad you finally have it on vinyl.
That's amazing that you have original copies of Teenage Symphonies to God, one being signed. Incredible! I'm so glad this outstanding album finally got a proper reissue! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert The signed one also includes a hand-written setlist for a show in Osaka, Japan back in the day. They apparently were bigger in Japan than they ever were here.
My copy of the reissue arrived today and I just put it on, sounds good so far, I'll do a comparison with the original soon.
I would definitely love to know how this reissue compares to the original!
Excellent find with Strange Boutique. I remember buying it on release and still one of my favourite albums today.
Thanks for the comment! Lovely to see other fans of Monochrome Set here! Strange Boutique is such a solid LP!
Remember seeing the Velvet Crush a few times back in the day (with Jeffrey from Honeybunch if anyone remembers them!). Such a great band and that album is fantastic - even features Stephen Duffy on it, one of my all-time favourite songwriters ❤
Nice! The Velvet Crush and related projects are so solid! I saw Velvet Crush only once when they toured with Matthew Sweet back in the early 2000s! Cheers!
Awesome grabs on that Monochrome Set. Love that! plus the Scott Walker. That Rollins I really want to find myself.
Thank you! I just was able to grab the Eligible Bachelors 3-CD recently, too! So good!
Awesome, Xymox and a Cherry Red comp. Good score.
Thanks! Glad you liked seeing some of these finds. I'm really happy with what I found! Cheers!
My copy of Black Market Clash is a prize. For the life of me, I hear The Allies Emma Peel in Babylon Burning with a dash of Strummer. Good stuff. Thanks.
Cool, do you have the 10" original version of Black Market Clash? Great to have you chime in here as always! Hope all is fantastic with you!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert It's the 10" original. Definitely a Clash fan.
Hi Hanna! That record show looked like it was a blast! I too have found out about local record shows AFTER the fact. Ughhh!
The History of Punk LP is really good but I only have the first record. But I couldn't pass it up for $5. Nice Siouxsie score for $2! Can't wait for the Siouxsie ranking video! I need to start working on obtaining some original Siouxsie pressings. At the record store in the '90s we used to sell TONS of This Mortal Coil import CDs. I never saw any of their vinyl come through. I love that "Sparkle In The Rain" LP! I never noticed the bass lacking. I'll have to pay attention next time I play it. James is SO good! Really like their LP "Laid." "Black Market Clash" I found the 10 inch at a thrift store back about 1999 or 2000 along with self titled and "Sandinista." I almost fainted. Never listened to The Ruts. Will check them out. That's great you found it from your wantlist! Congrats on getting the Velvet Crush reissue. Yay!
Thanks, Nicola! Yeah, it's the worst when finding out about a show well after the fact. I feel like I really missed out!
YES, I hope you can find some original Siouxsie pressings! Some of the more recent reissues are okay. My reissues of Juju and Hyaena I don't have a problem with, but bad reviews on some of the others. Especially avoid the Peepshow reissue, but we've already talked about that, hehe! The overseas website we both love is where I've scored most of my Siouxsie originals! 😏
Unfortunately I just can't connect with this Sparkle in the Rain Simple Minds LP.
Yeah, Laid by James is probably the most well known and so very good!
Girl, I bet you'd love the Ruts! Check out this one, The Crack, especially!
Hello Hanna great to see you-great collection behind you!!!! great find for this punk double album, a lot of great bands in it !!!! siouxsie is always great-i have two albums of this mortal coil, great moody english dream pop ,yes "song to the sirens" is a masterpiece!!!!! "sparkle in the rain " is a masterpiece , had this album on vinyl a long time ago-it's a fantastic piece of music -the great 80's trilogy "new gold dream..." sparkle in the rain" and "once upon a time" -great albums !!!! i must check the ruts,monochrome set -i'am not a fan of james!!!!! must also check the xymox -the album from the clash is also available with the title "super black market clash" with a lot's of bonus tracks -you should listen to !!!! have a great time listen to these records Hanna-till next time byyyye !!! 😇😇😉😉😊😊
Hiya, Patrick! Always fantastic to see a comment from you! I'm in love with this punk compilation! Such a cool find that I wasn't expecting! You don't like the earlier Simple Minds albums? Those are my favorite. I will be getting rid of Sparkle in the Rain. I think you will love Ruts and Xymox. Very different from each other, but it seems you enjoy British punk and synth pop, so check 'em out! Love seeing all the cool stuff you've been adding to your collection on IG! Take care!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert yes the first simple minds album are very good-i was surprised that "sparkle in the rain" was not a favorite of yours !!!! i love also american punk:ramones,heartbreakers,misfits,cramps etc..... you also take care till the next time !!!! 😇😇😇😀😀
Nice.. you got some great scores there! Love that Punk compilation, and especially glad you found The Ruts album( Henry Rollins favorite record). On my want list, I've never seen it.. I only have the Something That I Said, Best of on CD.. Thanks!.
Thanks so much! Yeah, so very cool that Henry Rollins is a huge fan of this Ruts LP! Hope you can find The Crack in the future! Punk on! Cheers!
Great find on the Ruts record! That one has been in my wantlist for a while too.
Hey there, Christopher! Thanks for the comment! Yeah, this Ruts LP is ACE! I hope you find a copy this year, too! Cheers!
Looks like you did great at the record show. Filled some voids in the collection. Backgroove should be announcing their next title soon. I'm trying to get Rob to do The Refreshments sophomore album The Bottle & Fresh Horses, but he says they have a few things in the works already. Anyway, glad you are enjoying their releases. Rock on Hanna!
Hey Brian! Ah, I'm curious to hear what Back Groove will be releasing next. Love that they have been focusing on 90s power pop gems the last few years! A reissue of that Refreshments LP would be sweet!
Hope you've been able to attend a record show recently or upcoming! Rock on, as always!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I only have one I go to and that is the Fargo Record Show. It's in October. I already have an Airbnb booked for a trip up. Can't wait!
Sweet! Definitely something to look forward to!🙌🏻☺️
Yes, Velvet Crush's drummer is their best player ( you can verify that in live shots on UA-cam)...Love your channel...
Thanks, Julia! Yep, I got the opportunity to see Menck in action in the early 2000s. Stellar musician indeed! I'm glad you're enjoying my channel! Cheers!
I disagree IMO when they morphed into a 5 piece with Mitch Easter and Tommy Keene essentially a Power Pop guitar army they all played like a bunch of giddy teenage boys but as a trio I think each member complemented one another
Hi Hannah, nice pick-ups ! Cabaret Voltaire can be delightful (if you like vintage electronics and somewhat dark, industrial, repetitive music!), you should begin with a comp like "Listen up with CV" or #7885
There are a couple of Cabs box sets out on CD, one is a complete early works set, another is a complete Richard Kirk solo early works set. They’re already getting hard to find and expensive.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I've only heard Red Mecca by CV prior to this. I'll check out the comps and the box sets! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Was gonna say, I've been into the Cabs for years since I heard Sensoria back when in the clubs or on radio, or MTV, or all of the above, but some of their early stuff definitely may sound quite dated now, Red Mecca a prime example since it's between their really raw early early stuff, and their post 1981 or so more dance and club oriented material (MicroPhonies etc.), which still sounds a bit dated but not as badly as their early to mid stuff. I love Richard H. Kirk's whole oeuvre though, great ambient-industrial techno type music, very good chillout music too.
Whoa, that original pressing of 'Scott' - what a find! I've always wanted to find an original copy of 'Scott 4', though I'm sure they've all been snapped up by now.
Thank you! Yeah, I was amazed to find this Scott Walker LP in such good shape at an affordable price! I'm thankful for it and hope I can find more! Cheers!
Wow! I never seem to find such bargains at shows 😕. That punk collection is amazing. Love Black Market Clash, I have an original 10”. Thanks!
Yeah, I found the prices to be very fair at this show. Prices can vary depending on region, too. So cool you have an original 10" of Black Market Clash! See you next time!
Hi Hanna,good afternoon,congratulations by your video,cheers and have a nice weekend for you,one more time!!!!!!
Greetings to you! Hope all is well! Weather is starting to warm up here, which is nice! See you next time! Take care!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert,ok,thanks a lot!!!!!!
Whoa, I also came out of the show with the same UK mono Scott record. I had never spotted one locally before either.
No way, Derek! I'm wondering what other table had that UK mono Scott Walker record now! Did you have pretty good luck at the show? Will you be doing a video of your finds? Looks like you've been absent from UA-cam for a bit, so hope you come back!
@The Omaha Introvert I had never seen this fellow that was selling it. He said he was surprised nobody picked it up sooner. I only brought home 4 records, which is the least I've ever bought at a show. But I was buying some for my friend too. Otherwise, had some fun convos with some folks there, and I finally met Tuco! And yeah, I'm taking another lengthy break at the moment. But I will definitely share everything I've gained this year eventually.
Look forward to your return! I take social media hiatuses on occasion, too.
Yes! The beautiful lady with great taste in music is back and she bought Scott Walker's debut solo album. My day is saved.
Thank you for the comment! Hopefully I can find more Scott Walker in the future! Later!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I actually got 4 Scott Walker remaster CDs from my friend Bruce who did not like them...he only liked the Walker Brothers, but then again, his taste is not as widespread or adventurous as ours... interesting compelling stuff, was like eclectic goth/postpunk/artful vocal pop before there was such a thing...
You know what? I absolutely think the move from 1983 Risky Business soundtrack was killer . How it didn’t sell well i don’t know. I pulled out the vhs from my collection. First time since 2009 i played it .
Black Market Clash was my 1st Clash album, used to loop Armageddon Time and Bank Robber over and over. Also I bought Burning Ambitions when it first came out, shocked you had a copy. Oh and Strange Boutique, what an amazing score!! My copy was from New Zealand also because I'm from there.😊
Oh also Netflix just released a movie called Armageddon Time with Anthony Hopkins, its magical and has the song throughout the film.
Amazing finds Hanna! Nice to see The Clash, Simple Mind and This Mortal Coil.
Hi Tony! Glad you recognized some of these bands! I think you'll love Xymox, too! See you next time!
Hi girl, The Cherry Red comp is excellent and the Clash LP is a must to catch up on stuff not issued on proper albums. The Ruts are simply the best!!! But their CD of their 3 Peel sessions is even better. CRANK UP THAT RUTS ALBUM You'll be in punk heaven and $25 is a great price.
RUTS! Has to be in my top 5 for sure. I think we had to get it from Discogs but great to have it. Found Grin and Bear It, local, or maybe at a show. My favorite is Staring at the Rude Boys! As for the cd, have it for the car or camp.. Henry Rollins likes Crack a little bit also... When you first showed the 1st comp I said, "We got that one"! lol ...Can't beat a punk comp, record or cds..good video Hannah.
Hey there, Ed! Oh, very cool that you found Ruts Grin and Bear It locally! And I wouldn't be surprised if Rollins is a fan of the Crack! The Crack is a crackin' album! Love it! Glad you own this badass punk compilation I showed at the beginning too! Super solid! Cheers!
Thanks very much for sharing your finds... I sympathize with the allergies.
I appreciate that. Allergies can ruin a day, that's for sure! Cheers!
Great haul! The Scott Walker OG press is very cool. His 3rd solo LP is my favorite. It's very dark and surreal, and a lot of the songs are in 3/4 time which gives the whole collection a dreamlike feeling. The mournful singing is there of course, and the lyrics are more narrative-focused. "It's Raining Today" is the opening tune and sets the tone for the rest of the album. I think it may also be the first appearance of dissonance in his music which blossomed decades later in his career.
The Monochrome Set is such a great group! There was kind of a dip in quality in the 90's, but there's a good 2-cd comp called 'Chaps' that cherry-picks the 5 or 6 albums from that period. There's also an inexpensive box that has all of those albums if you really want to hear them. Even though most of what I've heard recently is really good, I still prefer the early period of the group. If you're able to find the 3-cd Cherry Red reissue of their "Eligible Bachelors" album, it also contains the essential compilation of early radio and demo tracks "Volume, Contrast, Brilliance!" in its entirety, all the singles and b-sides from that same era, as well as the very first demos and a live album that came later. Strange pairings, chronologically speaking, but if you want all that amazing early stuff that's where to find it in one place.
Last thing, Andy Partridge has a new group called 3 Clubmen. They put out a single that's pretty good! It kinda resembles the XTC tune "River of Orchids." Circular structure, repetition, instruments added one at a time, the usual A Partridge moves.
Thanks for the video!
Hey there, Andrew! What's new and good? Glad you enjoyed seeing some of these pickups. Scott Walker's 3rd and 4th LPs are definitely on my want list next!
Ohhh, thanks so much for the heads up on the Monochrome Set Eligible Bachelors expanded set. I was able to order a copy from Jigsaw Records (great site) yesterday for a decent price. Really appreciate you letting me know! Love this band more and more every day!
I'll check out Partridge's new project, too. Love that he's keeping busy! Cheers!
Cheers to you, as well! As far as new, I've been listening to a recent compilation of Welsh group Datblygu, an older record by The Cravats called 'In Toytown,' and all the more recent records by Pere Ubu in anticipation of the new one that comes out soon. I think I mentioned it before, but the box of Bog Shed's music is fantastic. If you want to sample what they do, check out the album 'Brutal.' It's not brutal at all, more like a puppy with the zoomies. Cute, but also knocking over the plants.
Hanna, killer Scott Walker. That is the only one I have. I want a few more of his early solo records, plus he did a record with Sunn O))) in like 09 that I want on any format. I would be fine with the CD . Great stuff. Super cool you are hyper focused on grails for 2023! Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
Hi Steve (Zonkman)! Yep, grails definitely have been my focus this year...only ones I get deals on! Hehe! And hopefully we can both find some more Scott Walker records this year! Cheers, my friend!
"Up On The Catwalk" is a great opening track...
Excellent pick ups. Cabs' high point is definitely 'Microphonies'. After that album they start doing some kind of proto-techno that never really landed. Interesting that you bring up Devoto (love that TMC album), Kevin McMahon of Lucky Pierre and Prick fame could be Devoto reincarnate.
Hey Dan! Thanks for checking out what I grabbed at the show! I've gotten a few other recommendations to check out Microphonies, so I will sample that next from Cab Voltaire. Wow, I had never heard of McMahon before and just sampled Prick's The Wreckard. This is amazing! I definitely hear the similarities to Devoto! Cheers!
Hi Hanna! I have a CD comp (2-CDs, 50 tracks) containing many of those punk classics on that LP you purchased. ...Was never a fan of Simple Minds, James, Smiths/Morrisey (depressing music) or industrial music such as Cabaret Voltaire. ...Liked the 1st Clash LP but after that got bored with them. Scott Walker/Walker Brothers were very cool! Never heard that specific album though. ...I remember the Monochrome Set but cannot remember what they sounded like. ...I like the Ruts & Velvet Crush too! ...Don't know much of that other "post-punk" stuff you mentioned though. We come from different music eras... Have a nice day!
Hello, Bill! Want to say thank you for always being here even though I do show a lot of post punk and maybe stuff you're not too interested in! Very cool that you have a 2-CD comp of punk essentials! Very nice! Hope all is well with you!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Awaiting you next transmission!
Thank you, Bill!
Dang, just realized you have over 12,000 subscribers! Good stuff! Take Care, Frank
Why thank you, Frank! It's been fun watching my channel grow a lot more in the last year! Thanks to you and others who keep coming back! 😊 It means a lot!
Vinylzz scorezz! 😎
Yes indeed!✔️🎶🎶🎶☺️
Yes. That Verlaines " Bird Dog " really needed to be re-issued. I talked about it in my Flying Nun collection
video. Love " Song to the Siren : as well, brilliant Version.
Some nice vinyl finds.
Thanks so much, Keith! Glad you enjoyed the finds here. Bird Dog is one hell of an album. So glad it was reissued, and the reissue is fantastic! Cheers!
Hi Hannah , glad you showed The Ruts , " Staring at the rude boys" is my favorite song by them. Do you like The Vapors and The Undertones as well ? " Turning Japanese" and " Jimmy Jimmy" are songs i love by them. Good to see you again 😊
Another great video. I look forward to trying that James record. I will say Sparkle in the Rain is the last great Minds record. I remember being frustrated when “Don’t You (forget about me)” came out my sophomore year in HS and they got to be so huge, but nobody knew sh&$ about them before Breakfast Club. Give “Waterfront” another spin. It was the first single if I remember right and it’s pretty catchy. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching this update! I really hope you dig this James record. Brilliant band! And Waterfront is a decent song from Sparkle. I just can't get into the album as a whole. Cheers to you!
Awesome video. I have a Chicago Record show coming up in two weeks, I hope to find a few things. Its funny as I sold back that Simple Minds records a few years ago when I did a small purge. Just didnt have enough solid tracks on it. Take care
Thanks, Brian! I hope you have tons of luck at the Chicago record show! That's one I would love to hit up one day! Yeah, I think for sure this Simple Minds LP is going bye-bye! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Nice hunt!!! love all those records. Cabaret Voltaire have a long discography from Noise, Experimental, to EBM, Industrial to Acid House, similar to Front 242 or Coil I love all their early records up to late 80's. Those This Mortal Coil, Clan Of Xymox and The Monochrome Set records you don't see them very often. Oh please please make a Siouxsie and the Banshees album ranking, they're one of my all time favorite bands.
Hi Ronny! Great to find you here again! I look forward to digging deeper into Cabaret Voltaire's discography, but mainly their stuff leading up to Code. I will definitely be putting out a Siouxsie & the Banshees album ranking video later on! Yay! Have a great week!
Happy to see your show pickups. Too bad there are not many shows in your area now, we seem to have a full on show or pop up every other month these days. Love those Mortal COIL RECORDS ✌🏻
Aww, thank you, Mazzy! I remember the killer shows in Seattle/Tacoma area. Hands down the best spot for records I've visited thus far. Go to every show for me! Cheers, Mazzy! 😀
That's cool you encountered Tuco. The hunt is what so much fun about collecting records, glad you were able to hit a show. Your channel, Tucos and The Vinyl Douche are my favorite record channels. What other channels do you check out?
Thanks! Yeah, I've seen Tuco at two other record events. Nice guy and his prices are fair. Unfortunately I don't have much free time to watch other vinyl community videos, but I really enjoy these channels as well:
Play Vinyl in the Milky Night
Bret Helm's Life on This Planet
The Rando Channel
Grandma's Handbag (really hope he comes back)
Stevie's Vinyl Cupboard
Agree, Sparkle in the Rain is kind of a dud, never spin it! Love Scott Walker! I have Scott 4, need more though. 👍🏻
Thanks, Tim. Yeah, I'll most likely be trading Sparkle in the Rain in...
I'm looking for more Scott Walker now, too. Good luck to both of us on that! Congrats on your recent OG Cure find! Badass! Cheers!
All good stuff as usual. I do need to find more Monochrome set.
The Crack is an absolute classic.
Thanks, Dave! What's new? Really stoked that I found a copy of the Crack at this show! Been spinning it frequently this week...LOUDLY! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Hey hey! Nice haul y’all. That history of punk comp is a killer set, and I just pulled mine for a spin. I think I might feel the same as you about The Clash in that I really love their first LP, and I’m just not as into the remainder of catalog as much. Perhaps it’s because they shifted their style etc. “Complete Control” is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I never tire of spinning the debut. Rock on my friend 😎
Hi diddly ho, Thomas! 😂 So cool that you spun that punk comp. It's a killer set of songs!
Yeah, maybe that's why I'm not head over heels for the Clash. I definitely prefer their early punk roots. The debut is absolute fire! I'll be shipping the package tomorrow or Saturday and will give you tracking when I do! Rock on!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert It’s funny because every critic ever has been cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs about London Calling, but it just never grabbed me like s/t. I’m definitely not a completist by any means; there are many artists where I will love one album of theirs a ton, but then never care for another album of theirs. Your package is right by the door and leaving tomorrow, complete with some bonus material..🙂
Yeah, and that seems to be the general consensus...so many have a hard on for London Calling but where's the love for the fiery debut?! And thanks so much for the trade and shipping that out today, man!
I have two Scott Walker/Engel compilation LPs as given to me a few years ago by an older family member - "Fire Escape in the Sky" (curated by Julian Cope) and the original/first "Boy Child" (with Marc Almond liner notes). Also, the UK single "Jackie" on blue Philips 1967 in absolutely mint condition - I once saw its galloping beat memorably described by a music journalist as "The BBC Light Orchestra after one too many brown ales!".
("Brown ale" is a traditional type of beer which in England has a sort of downmarket comedy vibe as being beloved by Grandmas sitting in the saloon bar of pubs)
I was aware from a few months ago of the "Teenage Symphonies" upcoming vinyl reissue and had made a note of it on my kitchen calendar for release on 14 April. But I haven't found anywhere in the UK stocking it, and I'm reluctant to buy it from as far away as the USA at exorbitant postage costs doubling the price, and also the possibility of it getting damaged somewhere in distant transit. It's very annoying!
Btw I used to like sometimes posting comment on any one of your back catalogue videos but for the last two or three about a year or so ago it became apparent that you were not getting notification from YT so you weren't seeing them and I was talking to myself and that's the reason I don't do it anymore. 🤐
Best Wishes
Hi Shelley! I'm sorry you were commenting on some of my older videos without a response. That's one of my huge gripes about UA-cam is that I don't always get notified on comments on my older videos. I do apologize. Sometimes there's no way I can know unless I manually go back through each video, which time does not allow. I always appreciate the comments, though!
I'll have to check out that Scott Walker comp you mentioned that was compiled by Julian Cope. I usually enjoy anything that Cope touches so that will be fun to check out!
I just checked the Mill City Sound website regarding the Velvet Crush reissues. Wow, looks like they're down to only one copy. I think there were maybe 5,000 to start with. I'm sorry that a company near you didn't stock it. Yeah, shipping can be insane. Well, I hope in the future you can get a copy somehow. I enjoyed my CD for the longest time. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Hey Hanna!
Nice finds. Nice Simple Minds albums on your wall. “Sparkle” to me is their attempt at mainstream pop which lost me as an audience at that time. If you don’t have them, “Real to Real Cacophony” and “Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call” are much better in my books.
Cheers!
Hey there, Murray! Thanks! Simple Minds' Sparkle definitely is a disappointment. I do have Real to Real Cacophony but I really need Sons and Sister Feelings Call next. Wish me luck that I can find those this year! Cheers!
Got to see Elizabeth Fraser with Massive Attack on the Mezzanine tour. She was incredible. Horace Andy was there too. All hands on deck. Saw James at an early Lollapalooza. They were great live. Cool you got records from Tuco. That building full of records he dug through for days was crazy. Dug The Clash and punk comp finds. Peace.
Hi Dave! Incredibly jealous that you got to see Elizabeth Fraser with Massive Attack on that crucial tour! Wow. That's definitely my favorite LP of theirs, too. I keep hearing that James kick ass live. Wish I could see them! Tuco is a cool dude. I missed out on that massive Council Bluffs dig. Cheers!
I had that Burning Ambitions comp, used to play it on my Fester's Bucket O' Nasties radio show. I probably only got $3 for it when I sold it in mid-90s, :/. Same with the Ruts album I probably bought four versions of the CD over the years including the one you showed. Love the Monochrome Set too.
There you are! Hi! Oh bummer you only got $3 or so when you sold this brilliant punk comp in the 90s. Vinyl really wasn't worth anything in that decade. That's when I wish I had started buying vinyl, of course! Yay, for all the love for Monochrome Set! I just bought an expanded CD set of Eligible Bachelors. HOpe all is well!
Love that Xymox album. You’ve inspired me to re-purchase it. I bought the cassette when it came out and I only listened to the last two songs, they were so great there was no reason to listen to the rest. Awesome. I hope Discogs has it somewhere. Thanks Hannah
Hi J J! I bet you'll be able to find a copy of Twist of Shadows on Discogs or eBay. A very worthy purchase! Thanks for checking in as always! Enjoy the rest of the week!
Great pick ups for sure! That punk comp you got looks cool. I started running a record show just on the Illinois side of the river near St Louis. You will have to come check it out sometime. I named it Metro East Record Show. Thought I would let you know I finally got The Gits- Enter the conquering chicken. I really wish they would do something for The Gits for RSD! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I'm really happy that I found this punk comp! Thanks for sharing the info about the Metro East Record Show. It's a little far for us at the moment and we haven't really been taking road trips yet this year. I hope we can check it out at some point, though! Wow, did you get an original of Enter the Conquering Chicken? Congrats! I'd still like to find an original. High five!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert No it wasn't an original of Enter the conquering chicken but I am just as stoked at having it. Even that is hard to get. I emailed RSD and told them they need to do a release for The Gits.
I hope they listen to you and do reissue their LPs in the future! More people need to hear this band!
Regarding Scott Walker. Try Scott Walker sings Jacques Brel. Stunning album
I will definitely look into that one. Thanks for the recommendation! Enjoy the rest of your day!
Love the early James period. They are captured best on the One Man Clapping live record that follows Strip-Mine. The backstory on how they financed that live album is fascinating. Since u are into cds, I’d recommend the comp Fresh As a Daisy which i includes all the Factory Records songs.
Wow, thank you for these additional James recommendations! Gonna definitely look up the live record and Fresh as a Daisy. Much appreciated! Hope all is well!
good job my friend i wish they have record shows here in IL but they dont great video
Hi Curtis! Thanks! Hope you and your cute doggy are well! Oh, where in Illinois are you? I know Chicago area has tons of record shows several times a year.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I'm from Christopher Illinois
Some great albums there, that Clash album is a must have in my opinion. Another Flying Nun release on RSD was an album by Cloudboy called Down At The End Of The Garden and we'll worth finding a copy. It's quite a stunning album
Hey there, Lee! Thanks for the heads up on Cloudboy. I'm sampling on their Bandcamp now but not sure it's 100% for me. I shall keep listening! Enjoy your weekend!
Nice acquisitions, I was a Monochrome Set fan right from the beginning. That album was a biggee for me at that time, played it very often. Great band. Hope all is well with you Hanna, stay wonderful! I've always been a big Scott Walker fan also, all of his material is great, in his later period he becomes quite experimental and avant-garde, really love that stuff also, and I'm quite sure you will love it also.
I can't wait to listen to more Scott Walker. My journey is in the beginning stages! A little apprehensive to check out his later stuff, but I will get there! Loved to read that you dig this first Monochrome Set LP as well. Such a great one! Cheers!
Hi Hanna! I just wanted to say that I love your videos and I watch them all the time. You have given me some awesome music recommendations, and this video was no exception. I literally squealed when you showed that copy of Black Market Clash, since I love The Clash to death (they're one of my all time favorite bands). Thanks!
Aww, thank you so much for saying hello! I'm glad you've been enjoying my videos and that I've provided some worthy recommendations for you! Very cool that you enjoyed seeing Black Market Clash! What's your favorite release by them?! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I'd have to say that Combat Rock is my favorite release by The Clash, although London Calling is a good one too
Combat Rock is the first one I found on vinyl! Nice.
Iam going to the record store today Hanna
Cabaret Voltaire are a bit past their sell-buy date by 1985...1985, I regard as very much a before an after year of British alternative and post-punk. In that spirit...James...I'd recommend the earlier 'Village Fire' EP which is the two first singles released on Factory, which I think was released late 1985 or early 86 and predate their debut album by a musical eternity. It is pretty easy to get. I saw James supporting New Order, when they, and the world was still new and they were...heroic to say the least, Tim Booth at that time, channeling something of Ian Curtis through expressive dance whereas Low-Life era New Order already seemed like a band from a previous out of step decade.
Hola Hanna, Abolute Love for CLAN OF XYMOX, Their first Album, Medusa and Twist Of Shadows are 3 MASTERPIECES. Waiting for a Reissue of them...., ahhh sexy yellow nails 😅😂❤
Hi there, Carlos! Happy weekend to you! Agreed that those first 3 Clan of Xymox albums are THE BEST! I think many of us are hoping for quality reissues soon! Fingers crossed! Cheers!
Great Xymox album. I got into them and Moev at the same time. When I heard they were in the same scene with Joy Division I tried but could never get into Cabaret Voltaire. James- Seven has always been a favorite for me. They are an awesome live band. They started the concert with just the singer and guitar player going through the audience singing the first song and the last song they had over 50 people with them on stage all singing the last song. How does that Mofi Sisters album sound? It is the only album of their's I don't have on vinyl but heard the sound quality is lacking.
Hey there, Matt! Love that you mentioned Moev too. I love that I was able to find a copy of Zimmerkampf on our travels last year. Seven is an amazing album from James and I'd love to find that one on vinyl, too. I believe it was reissued a few years ago.
I have no issues with my Mofi copy of First and Last and Always. Since I have no other pressings to compare it to, it sounds great to my ears. I guess the first Japanese pressing is awesome, though.
Some really excellent records! I’ve always enjoyed Black Market Clash, it’s a great survey of their evolving style prior to Combat Rock.
I also picked up the Verlaines, it was such a thrill that got reissued. Their live album from RSD 2021 was so amazing.
Happy listening to your new records!🎉
Hi Robert! Glad you're a Verlaines fan as well and were able to pick up this stunning reissue from RSD. That's right, the live set from 2021 was also wonderful and I picked it up at the time, too! Fantastic band! Cheers!
Don't think I've ever heard Code by Cabaret Voltaire. Must have bailed out following the previous album. I've got The Crackdown and Micro-Phonies. Both a pretty good mix of synth-pop and industrial after the earlier avant-garde stuff. Some of their 12 inch releases became big club favourites in the pre-Acid House period. I always tell anyone who likes The Ruts to check out the Chicago band The Effigies.
I think it's safe for you to pass on hearing Cab's Code! Been meaning to sample the Effigies and I had written them down a few months ago, so thank you for the reminder! 😊 Enjoy your evening!
I love Clan of Xymox too. I wonder why 4AD has not reissued those first two albums on vinyl? They are classic masterpieces IMO. If you like Twist of Shadows there was a remastered 2cd set with b sides and remixes, and it sounds awesome. I caught that tour and for Phoenix. The original lineup was the best.
Hiya, Chris! That's a very good question. It would be pretty awesome if we got vinyl reissues of those first 2 Clan of Xymox LPs. They are so worthy and I only have them on CD! Thanks for letting me know about the Twist of Shadows CD reissue, too. Definitely worth looking into! Cheers, my friend!
5 bucks for Code??!! First album I heard by Cabaret Voltaire. I think they had a dance club hit off of this album, since my brother picked up the CD after hearing it in the dance clubs in the 80's. (The CD is in my collection now.) The CD used to be worth $50 or so about a decade or more ago. I have the 10" of that Clash album I bought at the most killer auction about 5 years ago. Damn, if I would have had more money, I would have bid and won thousands of records for super cheap and in mostly near mint condition. If I could only go back in time and relive that auction experience. :/
Yeah, $5 seems like a very fair price for that Cab Voltaire. Looks like it goes for more on Discogs. Wow, crazy what the CD of it is worth!
Oh, I bet that was an unbelievable auction! I think a lot of us collectors wish we had more money. 🙃 It's getting much harder to find many records now because there's just too much interest in records at the moment. Wondering when that will die down.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Was worth, no sure now. I am mainly a thrift store record hunter, but lately have picked some up at estate and garage sales. Spent too much (probably will just make my money back.) on online auctions recently so I can carry more records in my antique booth. I actually just put out a new video where I found some killer records at a citywide garage sale.
Nice pickups Hanna! Glad you got a copy of that This Mortal Coil album! It's funny, I remember being dissapointed with "Sparkle In The Rain" when it first came out! They redeemed themselves a bit with Once Upon A Time and that huge hit they had from that movie everyone remembers. You should check out some of the later Scott Walker records he did on 4AD. Some of that stuff is way out there!
Thanks so much, David! I appreciate you watching. Yeah, I now know that I'd rather just listen to those early Simple Minds albums! That's where it's at! My Scott Walker journey has just begun! Let the exploration continue! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Hannah... Brilliant video, and some great finds. So glad you appreciate Scott Walker, you're now going down the Scott Walker rabbit hole. His Avant Gard material, The Drift is not to everyone's taste, but he certainly pushed boundaries in the 90s and onwards. You need to get Scott 2, 3 & 4.. His first album is good, his other 3 just get better. My personal favourite, is Scott 4...... or 3... I can never decide between the two.
Great to see you here again! I'm definitely on the hunt for Scott Walker's 3rd and 4th albums next. Hopefully I can find them "in the wild" like I did with his first! Hope you've been able to spin lots of great tunes lately!
Another cool video. Enjoy your perspective on your finds. I’ve been playing “Nocturne”, the live album by Siouxsie and the Banshees quite a bit lately. I think Robert Smith from The Cure played on it if I’m not mistaken. Could be wrong. Looking forward to your ranking video on them. What’s your take on The Stranglers and The Slits? Do you enjoy any of their albums? Take care!
Hi Cam! Appreciate the comment! Oh, Nocturne has to be one of my favorite live albums ever! Yes, Robert Smith plays on it, and very well! I have only heard the first album by the Slits and own it on CD but I can't say I'm a huge fan. I dig the Stranglers and have shown several of their records in the past! Their stuff up through La Folie is probably my favorite! Cheers!
The Ruts! I`ll find one eventually...
I really hope you find a copy of the Crack this year, Bob! Thanks for the comment!
super cool .
Thanks for hanging out!
Stellar finds.I personally like Sparkle in the Rain by Simple Minds and it’s big rock sound and production from Steve Lillywhite,would love to get some more by James..love Manchester music,take care! ✌️😎🎶
Manchester bands were/are some of the best! And I just can't get into Sparkle in the Rain. Bummer! I love those earlier LPs, though!
@@TheOmahaIntrovertup on the catwalk at full volume in a club is unbelievable (the drums and bass boom) and it has the distinction of using not only Natasha Kinski's name but also Robert De Niro's worth the cost in my book only other band to namedrop DeNiro was Bananrama (yuck)
Good to see some early Simple Minds, but you are right that Sparkle In The Rain is a definite step away from their Post Punk roots two steps towards arena-style U2 stuff. My favorite early album (aside from New Gold Dream, which is a masterpiece) is probably Real To Real Cocophany, just an amazing leap from the debut.
Hi Ian! Great to hear from you. I love Real to Real Cacophony by Simple Minds, too. Luckily I have a copy on vinyl. Brilliant one! I will most likely be trading in Sparkle in the Rain.
Hanna did you see the concert footage of Siouxsie’s concert return on UA-cam? She looks (lighter hair) and sounds great! I hope she lines up US shows besides the one in LA. I especially hope she returns to NYC. The Scream LP is the first US reissue from around 1984. You found many great records at the record show
Hey Robert! Yeah, I checked out a few of the tunes from the Siouxsie return concert. What a badass she is! I even dug her outfit! Hehe! Would be awesome if she did more U.S. dates. Yes, I love this copy of the Scream you generously gifted me. Forever cherished in my collection! Looks like the Numan concert was a blast!
Great Pick Up’s
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert You’re welcome
In 'The Zone'. I have good friends that will run into me digging. I'm like Homer listening to Ned Flanders talking about cider!
Thanks for catching this video and leaving a comment! Keep on digging and finding the good stuff! Cheers!
Hanna, the red-nosed record buyer! (Sorry, pal.) I agree with your assessment of Whatsit in the Rain, never warmed to it; I stick to the initial 5 Simple Minds albums and rotate them like crops. Likewise your take on later Cabaret Voltaire; their early stuff is the best, the wheels started coming off when they signed to Virgin. I didn't care for The Monochrome Set when I first heard them either - and still don't. 😂Hope you'll continue digging deeper into Scott Walker's discography; Scott to Scott 4 are all stellar, Climate of Hunter is an interesting album from the over-produced 80s, then there's TILT (oh my), the Drift (harrowing, even for someone who'd been a teenage Throbbing Gristle fan), Bish Bosh (GET OFF MY LAWN!); he even made a fine LP with Sunno))). It sounds as if This Mortal Coil's 12" (4 tracks) might have been the correct dosage for you; just the right amount of TMC with 'Song to the Siren' as its centrepiece. I haven't heard a note of Xymox. Must have missed those shows when Peel played them. Wow, that was a successful vinyl fishing trip & a half you had there & your purchases will help you fight off the allergies. Salute!
Greetings, Nigel! How are ya? Ha, my nose sure was red and inflamed for this one, unfortunately. Hopefully it's not like this the rest of spring! Yeah, what an extreme letdown Sparkle in the Rain is. Eeeeks. And I will indeed stick with the earlier stuff from Cabaret Voltaire in the future. I'm definitely looking for the subsequent 3 Scott Walker LPs.
Song to the Siren is a thing of beauty. Yeah, maybe the 12" will be more for me but still digging the album as a whole! Oh, I hope you devote some time checking out Xymox! Great stuff! Cheers, my friend!
As a Cab Volt fan since the 80’s, I’d say “Code” is just OK. My Top 5 CV LPs are Micro-Phonies, Red Mecca, Arm Of The Lord, The Crackdown, and especially “Hai!” (Live in Japan). 🙂
Thanks so much for providing your top 5 CV LPs. Gives me some more direction as I had only heard Red Mecca before Code! I have some sampling to do! Cheers!
A suburb selection Hanna. Love The Ruts. Cabaret Voltaire's The Crackdown (1982) is a good LP. I have This Mortal Coil's Blood (1991) but It'll End In Tears is better.
Thanks so much for watching! I will certainly check out that Cabaret Voltaire release. And Blood is the one I'm missing from This Mortal Coil now! Cheers!
Xymox!!! Love that album Twist of Shadows...I played that thing to death on my college radio show and at home when I got it on CD early 90s...Blind Hearts, Obsession & Imagination all brilliant...been meaning to delve deeper into their catalogue...and This Mortal Coil...there is a 4CD box with all 3 albums & a 4th disc of the originals of the songs covered...really tough to find but I want it!! And did you score big on RSD23?? I did pretty good, one was that Sisters of Mercy EP on nice clear/smoke vinyl...
Hi Lawrence! I appreciate you stopping by! As far as RSD, I showed the one release I picked up towards the end of this video - Verlaines Bird Dog. I have an original of that Sisters of Mercy EP, otherwise I probably would have grabbed the reissue, too! If you want to explore more from Clan of Xymox, go with Medusa next, the album before Twist of Shadows. So good! I'll look up that This Mortal Coil box set! Thanks!
Yep, saw your lone RSD purchase, I submitted my haul list...and as for TMC, I'll look for the box too...that version of "Song For The Siren" is just sublime...
I must be in the few, that appreciates 'Sparkle in the Rain'. Mel Gayner's drumming, is superior! This was Mel's first appearance, with the band.
I believe on the Sparkle tour, is where Jim Kerr and Chrissie met. The following year in '84, were married in NYC!
Hi David! Hey, if you like Sparkle in the Rain, it's all good. I wish I was able to connect with it more but it's challenging, especially when I find the albums leading up to it to be fabulous! Thanks for the comment!
Hanna, did you know there is a Brit band called The Allergies? I don't know anything about them- a funk band, I think?- but I share your affliction and felt compelled to share this stupendously unimportant fact. 🤧😆
Hi Jules! Haha, your comment cracked me up! Just did a quick search on The Allergies and sure enough it looks like they are classified as funk! Don't think I will be digging deeper, though! 😂😂😂 I wish you relief from your allergies as well! Be well!
Great score with that Ruts album. Seeing how you like them, do you also like The Business? One of my favorite albums is a collaboration that The Business did with The Dropkick Murphys called Mob Mentality.
I don't think I have heard any albums by the Business but I shall look them up. Thanks for the recommendation! Always great to hear from you!
Oh, and if you like Scott Walker you might want to check out The Divine Comedy and specifically their album Casanova, which is a Brit-Pop version of the Walker Brothers and one of my favorite albums of the 90's
Thanks, Ian. I have been meaning to check out the Divine Comedy for ages. I appreciate the reminder! Casanova is one I'll search for on Apple Music tonight! Cheers!
Ebay and Discogs, the record show on the daily.
Digging in the wild gives the most satisfying rush, though. 😉
