    Cool idea for a video, may have to try it out myself. I have so much stuff I don't want anymore and have to parse down. Seems like a good way to do it and share new music in the process!
    Definitely some stuff I noted to check out - Divinyls, Icehouse, and Hoodoogurus. I've listened to Faith No More's The Real Thing, but not the album you showed.
    Also, I remember liking The Jam's All Mod Cons, but definitely liked Sound Affects more.
    Thanks for the fun video and for sharing some cool music!

    OOh! I need that Hoodoo Gurus in my collection! Great album! The DB's are great as well! Kajagoogoo! another great album. I'm a huge Joe Jackson fan! Another great album. Love your collection! The Jam is one of my all time favs as well. Great Video

    G’day Stephanie, you have good taste in music and like plenty of Aussie bands . Enjoyed your showing off your albums . Cheers 😎🇦🇺👌 In regards to Hunters and Collectors the popular consensus is ‘ Human Frailty ‘ is their best album ! The Jaws of Life album you have commemorates a tragedy which an outback truck driver intentionally drove his rig into a house in town of Alice Springs. The jaws of life refers to the equipment used to rescue trapped victims

    These remind me of those days in the early 00s when I used to buy stacks and stacks of 70s and 80s LPs of all stripes at $1-3 apiece, back when hardly anyone else wanted them. For instance, I got 6-7 of Joe Jackson’s early records that way, U2, R.E.M., Meat Puppets, Mekons, dBs, Echo and the Bunnymen, etc. Great time to collect records!

    Send them all to me, I need lots of those. Faith No More, Meat Puppets, Icehouse are high on my need to find list. I have a few cassettes by Hunters and Collectors but not that one and haven't listened to them since the 90's, they were kind of post-punk with horns. The albums I have came out after the one you have. I'd definitely buy their records if I ever saw them.

    While I'm not really a Faith No More fan, I absolutely LOVE the song "We Care A Lot"! ... What a coincidence: I just finished a video about the dB's last night that I'll be posting soon! And yes, I feature that album (of course)... I love that period of Killing Joke! There's two or three albums in a row that I love (although I don't listen to anything else by them!!).... That Joe Jackson album is a departure from the first few and I love the song "One to One".... Listen Like Thieves is, in my opinion, the last GREAT INXS album.... I LOVE the Innocents. Saw them open for Split Enz in 1982. It is quirky new wave for sure. They keyboardist is Randy Newman's nephew and is now a film composer! "Twisted Kiss" and "Directly from the Heart" are my two faves. You're the ONLY person (apart from my real life friends) that I've seen with that album... I love Bonnie Hayes as well! Her brother Chris was in Huey Lewis & the News!.... that Divinyls has one of my fave '80s tracks ever: "Pleasure & Pain"....All Mod Cons is classic Jam. All through high school ('78-82), they were my favorite band. My favorite albums is Sound Affects (for personal reasons)... "Crazy" is my fave song off of Icehouse's Man of Colours... Hunters & Collectors: great Post-Punk. The band's leader Mark Seymour is the brother of Crowded House's long-time bassist Nick Seymour.

    Keep "Jaws Of Life" by Hunters & Collectors. Not easy listening and not for everyone but definitely a keeper. They have a great catalogue of great records. Try "Human Frailty" or "What´s A Good Men", more rock-orientated. I prefer the early days of Hunnas, more experimental and rhythmic.
