Morning Hedley. Bit late for me to say "great collection picked up there" ...... im revisiting some older video's and just to say, thanks for brightening my morning, you always make me smile with your humour and i needed that this morning. Thanks Hedley. All the best, Floss.
Ha tip on POS. Love the Kama Sutra Brewer & Shipley records. One Toke over the Line was a hit here. And yes we have pop ups. The Gospel Ford records are great too ✌🏻
I like the story Carlene Carter told on the Ken Burns country music doc about Mother Maybelle Carter wanting to sing One Toke Over The Line, as she thought it was a nice gospel tune. Carlene had to tell her what it was really about. Shame, I'd have loved to have heard the 70s Carter Family covering the song.
Hi Elliott. I should've done a video of my last trip to the Vinyl Tap sale, I picked up some stuff I'm sure you'd like. I got a couple of sealed records, including a Maddox Brothers and Rose and The Brown's Ferry Four. Very pleased with those.
@@elliottcrews4997 Yes, Jones, Travis and the Delmores. An early supergroup? They was all uncredited, weren't they, as they were all under contract elsewhere?
@@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893 that sounds like a great one, I read the unfinished Alton book but don't remember him saying anything about the uncredited part but might well be it. I'd love to find a biography of Travis and or Jones to learn more about that period
A lot of Tennessee Ernie Ford religious records here at thrift stores for $2. I only have one of his, Country Hits- Feelin Blue from 1964. I like anything Warren does. Never heard of The Buffets before. Didn’t know that about The Louvins, learn something new everyday. That Tony Joes are a great finds. Thanks for sharing and belated happy birthday !
Yeah, that's some nice garagey guitar from The Buffets. I tend to listen to more sedate sounds most of the time, so it's nice to rock out from time to time. I think, like most bluegrass pickers from that era, he served his time in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, before becoming one half of Reno & Smiley. Cheers - Hedley
Hey! The stock was a little different to the pop-up earlier in the year. The last one was masses of 12" singles from artists no one has ever heard of. It just goes to show how much music was put out 20 odd years ago. This time it was full of albums by well known bands and artists, but when you checked they were scratched to buggery. But there were some roses among the thorns...Well, roses to me. Cheers - Hedley
Ha ha ha! The irony is that music came from France. It was imported with the Norman invasion in 1066, just like Knights, chivalry and all that shebang. Cheers - Hedley
This video is an instant classic. Tom Shipley has an interesting little UA-cam channel (36 subs) that shares a peek at what he's been up to outside of music. I like that Tennessee Ernie cover, even with the corny visual pun. I once had a scratched Capitol release. Hoping to use the law of attraction to obtain another copy. What a cover on Bogalusa Gumbo! That would have been a hard one to walk away from. That cover design team should have gotten a deal with a major record label. (On closer inspection, the fonts on the cover were weak choices.) I've come across several played-to-death copies of that Don Reno record. It must be a good one. "Remington Ride" was a fun needle drop. My wife gets live previews of my record hauls, too. Lucky ladies. - Cheers.
I remember thinking to myself, around the 12 minute mark when I slapped the VC in the chops with some Tudor Polyphony, "This is an instant classic!" I've got an album by the Cajun accordion player Bruce Daigrepont, which uses the exact same typeface as the Pete Sayers Bogalusa Gumbo album cover, and the colours match as well. I think that drew me to the record. I tried to find the Tom Shipley UA-cam channel, but was unsuccessful. What's it called, I fancy checking it out? Cheers - Hedley
I would definitely buy that 1st Brewer & Shipley ! Do you know Batdorf & Rodney ? Their debut was important to me as a kid.. they lived in my town.. Las Vegas. and Ahmet Ertegun signed them, gave them two Martin Guitars, and that 1st album was recorded at Muscle Shoals.. ( Acoustic Folk Rock ). a little like Brewer & Shipley, and America. I don't have that particular Warren Zevon... will stop chatting, and watch the rest now !
Hi JT! Yes, I know Batdorf & Rodney. I've got Off The Shelf, but I've not heard anything else by them. I'm surprised that Brewer & Shipley aren't better known. I suppose they are in the US for the single One Toke Over The Line, which I don't think did anything here. Carlene Cater tells a funny story on the Ken Burns Country Music doc about her Grandmother, Maybelle Cater, wanting to sing the song, thinking it was a great gospel song. Carlene had to explain what it was really about.
@@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893 I'm glad to know that you have " Off The Shelf" .. their 2nd LP is as good. if not better. Mark went to my High School.. Valley HS. ( He's older by 4 years ). His Dad was Red Rodney , Horn player / sideman with Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gillespie. They moved to Vegas for work on " The Strip" for Marks Dad in the late 60's. Mark really influenced me the most on Acousic Guitar !
A nice collection of finds for a pound each, Hedley. I apologize for stumbling in late. I made the mistake of meeting John at the VC Pub before arriving. You know how that goes. Zevon is a guy that I absolutely love certain songs by, but as far as the albums go… I just can’t get into the complete Zevon sound. Excitable Boy is the closest to a really good album for me. I’m fine with a best of from him. Okay, one can safely say they are all in on country when they start buying albums by The Judds. 80s era country radio is what my wife grew up on. I just don’t find a lot of it appealing. Something about the production. Those Tony Joe White albums are indeed great scores. Good stuff! Hope all is well. Cheers ✌🏻
Don't let that Brummie alcoholic lead you astray. You're a nice lad. You have potential. Don't chuck it all away by throwing in with the likes of John Downing. I think my view of Zevon is similar to yours. Probably why this is my first album of his I've picked up. I'm yet to sit down with the record and give it a good listen, but from what I initially heard, its going to be a curate's egg...Good in places. I agree that the production on 80s Nashville country is off-putting. Hell, 90s, 2000s, 2010s and current Nashville country production is off-putting. I think slowly getting into country music has allowed me to find the common threads within the music, and peer through the production to find the heart of the music at its....er...heart. Just like a jazz fan can't just jump into freeform modal jazz, they have to understand the language of jazz and its history before they can appreciate the abstraction and deconstruction going on. Therefore the Judds are to country music what Ornette Coleman is to jazz....You buying this? Cheers - Hedley
Some amazing records in there! You'd love Mike Judge's (of Beavis and Butthead fame) "Tales From the Tour Bus" animated series; there are two episodes covering George Jones and others including Johnny Paycheck and Billy Joe Shaver. I can't recommend them highly enough and you'll find them online if you dig around. The Judd's always chose great material from the finest writers including one of the finest ever - Mickey Jupp; from memory "tears for you". Search out copies of the self-titled Warren Zevon album and "Excitable Boy"; Zevon's been a life-long obsession for me! Take care, stay safe and sane and thanks for the video
Hello. Yes, I've been meaning to seek out Tales From The Tourbus for years. I did try at one point, but I couldn't find a way. I'll have another go. That's interesting to hear that the Judds did a Mickey Jupp song. Always good to see a Brit selling country back to the US. I am familiar with Zevon's earlier records, which are a bit more up my street than this later one. I have to confess, he's an artist who I like certain songs, but try as I might I can't really get on with a full album. I think there's an inconsistency. Cheers - Hedley

Hey Rob! Now you mention it, that Japanese record does remind my of another cover...It's not They Might Be Giants...It reminds me of the cover to the Blur single of Country House. Tony Joe's first album is okay, but I could do without some of the cover versions he does. I don't need to hear him do Wichita Lineman. His second is clearly where he was given the space to do more of his own songs and do it the way he wanted. I'm sorry for my rant about US tip-on sleeves. I''ve just had a load of them recently which were all falling apart. They look lovely when they're new, but give them 50 years of wear and tear and the paper edges just disintegrate. Yes, a UK cover is a bit more flimsy, not being made from thicker cardboard, but the worse that happens to them is the flaps become unglued, but you simply stick them back down. The laminated covers are also good for removing dirt, grime and writing, which is almost impossible with US tip-on paper covers. Cheers - Hedley
Ah Hedders, Tony Joe has been laminated my sincere condolences. Must be a big old room of one quid records? Part of the fun having a root through I think I'd need couple of days. Do they let you take a portable player in there I wonder 🤔
I'm not sure about a portable player. I'm sure they wouldn't really have an issue, but finding somewhere to listen might be difficult. They might say, "They're a pound. You takes your chances."
Evening Hedley. I can't believe I've still not managed to get myself to Vinyl Tap. The pop-up shop sounds intriguing, we may have had one of those in Lancaster a few years ago.

Hey Dale. I wasn't sure how this trip to Huddersfield would go, I'd done quite well last time and thought lightning couldn't strike twice. Previously, it was predominantly brand new unplayed 12" singles by a host of unknowns, which I had to pick through to find what I was after. This time it was quite different. Lots of albums by bands like The Who, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones and the like, but when you looked at the vinyl they were knackered. So, you learned quite quickly not to even bother looking. I actually edited out from the video showing a Lilac Time album I picked up, I made the cardinal error of not checking the record...and of course it was unplayable! Yes, poor Louise indeed. Cheers - Hedley
That's a difficult question, as he had quite different periods in his career. His late 50s material is far closer to Honky Tonk and even Rockabilly, and you can't go far wrong with White Lightning & Other Favourites. 1960s Jones is when he becomes the great ballad singer and his voice shines, and any of his Musicor albums are worth picking up. The 70s and 80s are where Billy Sherrill amped up the countrypolitan production. It isn't for everyone, but some of his greatest recordings were during this period. The Grand Tour, Alone Again and I Am What I Am are all great. To be honest the best way to approach country artists is via greatest hits and other compilations, as albums were never a big thing in country music. It was all about the hit singles, with albums built around those hits with quite a bit of filler packing them out. Some are great, many are quite patchy affairs. I bet you wish you'd never asked now. Cheers - Hedley
@@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893 No, thank you for your thorough explanation! I would like to have some albums so maybe I'll try The Grand Tour, Alone Again and I Am What I Am. I'll also look for the early stuff. But I might as well also pick up some comps. Do you have favorite comps?
@@AsTheTableTurns My intro to George Jones was via Elvis Costello doing A Good Year For The Roses, which I always liked. The first album I got was a double CD called The Essential George Jones, which was a good overview of his career, but mostly his recordings for Epic. There are so many compilations, with variations of the same songs, so you can pick up any and find some great recordings. There's a great double album from 1966 of his Starday recordings, which, if you're lucky, still comes with a "Beautiful 8x10 souvenir color photo of George, suitable for framing".
A couple of my friends, years ago, were convinced that George was the best pop singer of all time. I'm partial to his early records - especially "White Lightning" and "Who Shot Sam". He did some duets with Gene Pitney, another fave of mine, since they were both on Musicor at the time.
Count me among the easily pleased. Again. The Buffets sound like a lot of fun. TJW has been popping up in the vc a bit lately - laminated and otherwise.
I don't listen to nearly enough garagey punk rock, so it was great to put on The Buffets and crank the volume up. I think you're the second person to say they've seen TJW records turning up on the VC recently. I haven't seen any, I'm clearly watching the wrong channels. Cheers - Hedley

The first album I got was a double CD called The Essential George Jones, which was a good overview of his career, but mostly his recordings for Epic. There are so many compilations, with variations of the same songs, so you can pick up any and find some great recordings.
There's a great double album from 1966 of his Starday recordings, which, if you're lucky, still comes with a "Beautiful 8x10 souvenir color photo of George, suitable for framing".
A couple of my friends, years ago, were convinced that George was the best pop singer of all time. I'm partial to his early records - especially "White Lightning" and "Who Shot Sam". He did some duets with Gene Pitney, another fave of mine, since they were both on Musicor at the time.
But did you make the Gumbo? Was that disappointing as well?
Count me among the easily pleased. Again. The Buffets sound like a lot of fun. TJW has been popping up in the vc a bit lately - laminated and otherwise.
I don't listen to nearly enough garagey punk rock, so it was great to put on The Buffets and crank the volume up.
I think you're the second person to say they've seen TJW records turning up on the VC recently. I haven't seen any, I'm clearly watching the wrong channels.
