I don't even collect vinyl (I am a huge music fan but only buy hi-res digital these days) but have just discovered your channel and been binging all of your videos. Your grandad is an absolute diamond! Absolutely love the content. Used to collect old video games myself and currently old books, so completely understand the appeal of the thrill of the chase and finding stuff you want "out in the wild".
Crazy Beat is a great shop, been going there a couple of times a year for ages (when I can brave the M25!) . Those bargain bins you went through are also excellent for soul and funk 12" singles. That was owner Gary you were served by, always excellent service here, they have thousands of records on discogs that are not out on the shop floor but are always happy to look up anything for you there and then, thorougly recommend a visit, parking is easy in the nearby car park just behind the petrol station opposite.
Morning James. I would say that waiting for an original copy is worthwhile. I found to my cost Specifically with Kate Bush. I bought copies of reissue's when the whole collection was put out and was disappointed by how the sound was different to the original. Only my opinion of course. Bide your time James it will be worth it. All the best, Floss.
Fairport was a 2nd pressing btw. The first 2 Alice Cooper lps are great psych rock so well worth owning. Killer did look like a nice sleeve so worth the money, even if the vinyl had some wear. Ditto with the Groundhogs. Circus LP on the wall would have had my attention and the KPM. I love The Beatles but I just don't get the multiple purchasing of the same LP, especially later pressings.
The Grease Band I think were Irish Certainly they had Henry McCullough who became a go to session man and ended up in Wings The Grease Band I think became Joe Cockers touring band.Pretty sure.
In the US that Beatle Red album would be 20 to 30 dollars . 8 dollars US would be a steal. I think that shop had great prices. Enjoyed the excursion very much. I subbed your channel btw Your grandfather is a wealth of classic rock knowledge.
A shop full of scratch up, sub par quality vinyl. The only lp I would have grabbed, you passed up. Alice Cooper Killer w/calender!!!! Can’t believe you didn’t jump on that one.
I know I couldn’t believe it looked so clean whenever I see a copy of it and I live here in Canada. The vinyl and jacket is always well loved. (Very used ) That album is killer ! Jake u need to listen to it
The reason why Elton's 12th album is called A Single Man is because it was the first album written without Bernie Taupin who was working with Alice Cooper on the From The Inside album around the same time.
You potentially missed a bargain on a classic album. Alice's Killer looked intact with calender and the vinyl looked mint. You should have checked the year of the calender as it was changed to reflect the subsequent years it was repressed, up until 1974 I think. If it was a 1971 calender it would be a first pressing. Cant believe Poppa Dave isnt a YES fan!!!!Love watching your uploads,
Guys, you’re way off with Elton John! A Single Man is his twelfth album!! 😂 and pulling records out by their edges is not a great idea, ruins the run in track. Apart from that, love your videos! 👍
Yeah they don't seem to realise they're damaging albums by the way they're sliding them out of the cardboard and paper inner sleeves. Seems like good guys though and great to see young guys collecting vinyl again.

Great little shop and with the prices, they certainly aren't ripping customers off.
Lovely place for a visit.
Love watching you two banter back and forth.
Rock Me Amadeus.Not sure it's actually on this album.After the Fire were his band.
Alice cooper killer with calendar, good album
Guys should have snagged up that Thin Lizzy Black Rose!
That Split by the Groundhogs is a steal. Amazing album!
@psantos5573 The whole album is a classic, not just that one obvious track
Ty segall coverd cherry red and then found out it was a cover by the band groundhogs… loved it as well
@@stevenimeson902 Yeah for some reason Groundhogs are one of the very few prog bands considered 'cool'! I love the entire scene from back then though.
great album by the groundhogs

Great video. We're getting loads of ideas of places to hit for our next trip to London. Keep up the good work.... We're loving the content. 👍
Let us know where you visit when you come!

Great stuff gents, as always!
Your Groundhogs album looks first press to me. All copies I've seen were fully laminated. Got that for a great price.
It was so good it honestly looked like a fake to me! Glad to hear everyone thinks I got a good one :)
Great video as always guys! “Empty sky” from 1969 was Elton’s first album 😊
Groundhogs “Split”, class album
Good shop but they're never going to let a real bargain slip by them. But good to plug that hole in your collection
Look at Yourself remains my favourite Heep album to this day. Blew me away in '71 as a 17 yer old.
Great Shop,, Really Nice Staff... And a Place For Some Great bargains Too...But Don't Tell Anybody...
Shhh... don't let anyone find out!
Gong, not Hawkwind, Poppa Dave.
I'd have been all over that Alice Cooper, Killer LP for a fiver. Groundhogs Split was a great price. Lots of bargains to be had at Crazy Beat.
Fairport was a 2nd pressing btw. The first 2 Alice Cooper lps are great psych rock so well worth owning. Killer did look like a nice sleeve so worth the money, even if the vinyl had some wear.

Enjoyed the video guys. I need that Groundhogs.
The Grease Band I think were Irish Certainly they had Henry McCullough who became a go to session man and ended up in Wings The Grease Band I think became Joe Cockers touring band.Pretty sure.
You two are the last of the big spenders. Maybe you can get some records for free.........but i imagine you already have!

Great video! What a nice Grandfather to go record shoppin' with! New sub here! Look forward to the next one!

That album is killer ! Jake u need to listen to it
I have Look at Yourself.It's not a very rare album,but the mirror cover is usually distressed .It's a good prog album and Manfred Mann is on it
That Emerson, Lake & Palmer with their heads on, is on my wishlist! Damn I live here in Belgium.
Best ELP album is the first IMHO!
@@thevinylhunters With the white dove on it! I have it!
Trilogy 😎👌
That shop looked like fun , definitely lots of cheap good albums way cheaper than Canada that’s for sure
Love your guys videos !
Great video guys
Glad you enjoyed it Steve!

Great Circus
Is that a norm in the UK, shops not having records in protective sleeves?
Varies,new records yes
Looks like a “clean copy” of Deep Purple In Rock on the wall!
Poppa Dave … Steve Hillage in Hawkwind ? You mean Gong don’t you ?

I have not seen any of the sellers turn down an offer yet ,do you have any clips.

Lol had me cracking up!

I would have grabbed the Fairport Convention and I think I spotted an Otis Redding album in a pile
Grandad should know that is NOT Elton John's 1st album especially considering he's older than even I am!!
Are u guys going to spittlefeilds on the 5th ?
gary dennis .....discount ? like getting blood out of a stone :)
80s thin records can sound amazing, thickness of record has nothing to do with it. '#justsayin
Have we found Oliver Reed's older brother?
More crazy sounds Poppa Dave please.
SH was in Gong,sorry.
great video
Jake, are you in a band? You look like you should be 👍😃
Hi I'm 15 and very new to record collecting..do you own any Amy winehouse albums
Poppa Dave loves Amy Winehouse!
Oh that's good 👍🏻🙏🏻
Love these videos as I can find out where some of these shops are but you seem to be always digging for the same stuff prog rock/metal
You film as well as your love for Celine Dion....
Seriously, you don't want to stop filming so badly.
It's a shame because your videos are great.
Uriah Heeps ex-drummer.Not a lot of people know that
A sign saying 'No haggling' ? That really irks me :/ turning away business
Ok
.New subscriber.. can you by chance invest in a gimbal or something ? Waving the camera around gave me a headache 😢😅😅
