Amazing insight to what it's all about. I've been in the bush for five nights so I've missed all this excellence. I need to catch up. This video was a major treat of the London quality. Thanks.
Looks like a great meet up! If you have time I think there are still some Dylan paintings & prints on display at the Halcyon Gallery on New Bond Street. .. if they’ve gone or been sold they have some Warhol & Hockney there too. Great place.
Damn that's me browsing through the records at Sister Ray ( Sat about 11.30 ) . I'm wearing the black cap , and just about to leave for Reckless , where I found a nice 1955 UK 1st press of Chet Baker Quartet recorded in Paris for £35 . Shame I didn't know you were there . Happy Birthday .
It's like a scene from "OCEAN'S ELEVEN" watching you all walk down the street. Happy Birthday Mazzy, what a way to celebrate. Have a cracking holiday. All the best, Floss.
Mazzy, you do a really good job on these travel videos! Love seeing some of my favorite UA-cam people! I wish I had your editing skills. Enjoy your trip!
I loved meeting you Paul. Long walks together made it special. In a few weeks we should do a British livestream recap. Thanks for leading us around. 🇬🇧.
man, I was in Sister Ray, Reckless and Sounds of the Universe yesterday, would have love to have bumped into you. Happy birthday, Mazzy, London loves you.
I don’t like visiting record shops with friends. They’ll always find something I want before I see it. But I have two good record shops in my local neighbourhood anyway. There’s a lot of good spots for record buying outside of the centre of London.
Ooh, Phonica. That brought back memories… I bought a Jarvis Cocker record in there years ago. And funny enough… had the “pleasure” of sharing a bathroom with Mr. Cocker once. I walked in right after him (quite the tall bloke he is), and noticed him as I sidled up to the urinal next to him. Being a HUGE fan of Mr. Cocker, I was too stymied to speak to him while we both did our business… but I’ll never forget it… ;)
What a fun day but alcohol and record shopping does not is well for me. It does for the record store but not for me. Some of my favorite characters especially Harris, Rob absolutely Hedley. I told my wife my next visit to the UK we are just going to met record collectors, She is not amused
Wow… awesome video of an incredible trip. Wish I was there… those shops look amazing. Only thing missing would be an Arsenal match at the Emirates for a perfect trip! #COYG Safe and fun travels!
Well, Happy Birthday, Mazzy. After figuring out some years ago to learn that you about 5 weeks older than me, I think that my birthday is 30th Sept (1954) to you, Mazzy, on 24th August (1954). So, Happy Birthday on your 70th. Best wishes for many, many more of health. John Quinn
No way! We were just in London, getting back to the US on the 16th. I may have just missed you. Of course, huge city but you never know. Have a great time Mazzy!
What a sweary outburst from John. Shocking. No one informed me of the black shirt dress code. Good to see you Mazzy, the rest of the UK VC contingent and others. I hope you've had a good Birthday trip. Hed
Bless Its Pointed Head was the first Airplane album I purchased, then Volunteers. 'Twas 1969. Live Dead was, for me, a whole year later. I still have those vinyl copies and all still sound a perfect treat.
Would love to have come down to London and said hello but unfortunately,im bogged down with online work related courses . A happy birthday and safe journey home 👍👍👍
Enjoyed this collage of film and photos from a typical rainy day’s walk around those “streets of London “ ⛱️ (* Ralph McTell ) anyone remember his famous song ?
2:00 Bombed from Mark Lanegan Band - Bubblegum album with guest vocalist Wendy Rae Fowler; Lanegan plays the guitar. I finally added this record to my collection about 6 months ago. Cool video! Cheers!
First guy got it spot-on.Pathetic.Just got hold of an unusual Hendrix compilation,foreign pressing from the eighties,STILL sealed.Did i unseal it and play it straight away?DAMN RIGHT!
The Pub: A way of life tm. I'm sure there's a few books about pubs connected to famous events from political plots to murders through all points between over here. In this county we lost the Wonkyest pub in England (The Crooked House) and the pub where much of the canalization of the Midlands (The Leopard) was planned to arson sadly. Still that looked very like a great birthday bash you were having and the vintl section at HMV Oxford Street looked great too.
Mazzy loving the London videos mate, you must head over to Brick Lane next, for Rough Trade East, Flashback Records and some sort of basement market stall (you’ll see the signs for vinyl on the lampposts). You’re finding all the good vinyl spots though, I’m impressed! Oh and if you have time, you’ll like Soul Brother Records by East Putney station…
Mazzy, [4:10] At first I thought this gentlemen was part of the 1990s New York trio, Ivy. Nope, he's actually from the UK band by the same name, same era. I just snooped on Discogs: Holy sheet. His band's first two 7"s were released on none other than legendary cult indie label ... Sarah Records. To '60s / '70s kids or millennial / Gen Z kids, Sarah Records probably means n-a-d-a. But for Gen Xers who, in the late '80s and early '90s, were tired of and thirsted for something beyond rock, metal, punk, hardcore, post-punk, new romantics, synthpop, and '90s "college rock", Sarah Records was heaven sent. Think: C86 bands, McCarthy, Young Marble Giants, shoegaze, bedroom twee pop, Smiths, Darla Records, Vinyl Japan, and Slumberland Records. DIY production values; short, straight to the heart tunes; unmistakeable, wistful sleeve artwork, and not a hint of Americanism, 100% British flavor. The label lasted only eight glorious years. Long live Sarah Records.
Hi Mazzy, my last comment got deleted as YT thinks im a robot! I'll try again. A fantastic day!. A pleasure meeting you. Thanks for the record its an album I love..but only have on CD, I never did get that selfie with you for some youtube 'Clout'..maybye next time! 😊
@@David-Ellis Hi David, likewise! Really enjoyed it. BTW the guy I was telling you about who had a 'friendship' with Grace Jones is Tony Pike who owned 'Pikes' in San Antonio. His memoir 'Mr Pikes is very good.
Wait what ? That guy was in the band Ivy for real? Must check out Edge Of The Ocean by them. Still a great song that I play often to this day. A great band.

Great pub and record store crawl Mazzy. This is the way to enjoy London.
Wow!! London looks to be an amazing place to visit! You’re blessed with wonderful friends to tour it with you! It appears to be going perfectly!
Your a blessed man !
Greatest way to spend your birthday. Great friends , and music abound ! What a great experience , 🇨🇦

It was a really fun day; how great to see everyone in 3D. Hope you enjoyed your day, Mazzy. It was a pleasure to get to know you. Best, Paul
I loved meeting you Paul. Long walks together made it special. In a few weeks we should do a British livestream recap. Thanks for leading us around. 🇬🇧.
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Can’t beat the combination of music, a pint or two, friends and conversation.
Couldn't agree more!🇬🇧

Happy birthday, Mazzy, London loves you.
That’s how you do 70 ! , watching this makes me happy
Thanks to everyone for a great day out... looks like it turned into a proper bender! Laurence
I haven't seen "listening stations" since the 70/80's, way cool...thnx Mazzy, looks like a great time...cheers ✌️
Great video Masy I like the Smiths as well but in that area my Favorite is Joy division. I also love Echo and the bunnymen and Comsat angels.
Happy to see you having such a good time in the big smoke, Mazzy. Thanks for the great videos.
Looked like a blast!
Great video. Got the feel of London old and new. Some familiar faces. Thanks.
So cool Harris Pilton was part of the crew. What a legend!
I fully endorse this comment 😂. Thanks Ben, if you ever want to pop over to London i'll get the Z-bed out!

Another great video, thank you.
…. and after all that liquid refreshment they were still able to walk home! Yet another great video, Mazzy. Thank you!
Loved the London record store videos Great way to spend a birthday!!!!
So glad you're enjoying your holiday in London, keep it up.
Luv the show.

It looks like it!! So fun!!!
Good to see the U.K. gang out in force ❤
Records, Beer and new Friends. It doesn't get any better than that. 😊
It must be hard to focus cameras in London🤷♂️. Those shops & Pubs look awesome. Thanks for the pics of the trip.
Super video!!! London looks so cool. Btw, it looks like you were on Saville Row and you walked right past the spot where Apple was.
It’s Saville Row not Saville Road!
What a great way to celebrate a birthday!
Enjoy Mazzy and if ever venturing as far as Wales let me know.
Haven’t been to Wales since 1980🤠

Prices in london ridiculous. Go to record fairs.
Never mind the vinyl what was your favorite beer?
🤷🏻♂️
Sister Ray is my favorite record store in London
What a fun video....wish I could have been there. What is the music in the video at the end of the video ???
Nice to see David....
I recognise those shops!
Yesterday did pee down all day but it was a good day. I was in the same area too..booking a trip to Seattle!
the youngest members of the VC have nothing on the old and decrepit members of the VC!
Now that looked like a fantastic day....
It was!🇬🇧🎸
London's great for a meet-up, but hard to find vinyl bargains. Sellers know too much. Looks like a good time was had though.
You should join next time, David!
You are right, bargains are hard to find practically anywhere these days, David. But it was a really fun day out!
The Blue Posts
Yeah, there's a great photo of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg outside it back in the day. I should've tried to recreate it with Mazzy as Jane.
This almost made me sad at the end.
I’d be broke, UK pressings.
Have fun Mazzy
Cool video, how come everybody has fall jackets on?
It rained today. Every other day had been warm.
"He's a good bloke."
I was gonna ask what albums David Donley bought? just curious..
