Hugh Dennis says: And the band was Showaddywaddy! (laughs in Mock The Week)
"Now then, now then, now then, how's about that then?"
I love Wang Chung. I was lucky enough to meet Jack Hues earlier this year who even signed my vinyl copy of mosaic. I think he was pleased someone that wasn't even born in the 80's (90's kid here) was in to his music.
*sees Enuff Z Nuff*
“Glam rock just isn’t what it used to be, Beavis.”
The soup cans are homemade candle holders. I think the holes are to let light out.
Do like these themed thrifting videos. They make for a lovely run up to the Halloween episode. :)
Showaddywaddy *were* the UK Sha Na Na. A 50s revival band who started with self-penned tunes then resorted to covering old 50s songs. They were pretty famous, indeed. Some of their hits entered the Top 10 and *Under The Moon Of Love* was number one at the end of 1976. They werent't trying to be good or bad, just fun. And boy, they did.
There was a spate of these revival bands in the 70s and 80s. Other candidates were Racey, Matchbox, Stray Cats, Rocky Sharpe and The Replays, Roman Holliday, JoBoxers, Buddy Curtess and The Grasshoppers, and of course bloody Shakin' Stevens. Music was evolving, yet like tendrils they were pulling us back again!
@@Fluteboy Don't forget Darts!
The pumpkin can holes?
It's supposed to be used as with a candle..
And the holes make a kinda mirror ball effect.
I've seen them before.
re: the edit to the Roseanne Cash cover art: That's another point for your Saudi Arabia origin theory. They have very strict modesty laws, especially when it comes to the women's dress code, and I've heard stories of pictures in imported news and hobbyist magazines getting inked over by the local censors.
I was just going to say this. They just legalized women drivers a couple of years ago!
Yeah, I found a 747 copy of Permanent Waves by Rush and they photoshopped out the upskirt shot on the cover. Other oddities on it include adding Closer to the Heart and Cygnus X-1, Jacob's Ladder retitled "Ladder" and the aforementioned cover painted color.
I looked it up on discogs and it's actually from Indonesia

I think we're getting our wires crossed here. The Juice Newton tape is (probably) from Saudi Arabia. I didn't really speculate (at least in name) on the country of origin of the Rosanne Cash tape. That's what I get for trying to plow through a bunch of information in 30 seconds.
Yeah, I was talking about the Rosanne Cash's tape, sorry if it wasn't clear
That's the version of NOTLD they added new footage too and is pretty easily available
the Night of the dead VHS is the 30th edition of the movie aka remade sequences added to the original.
Good you didn't caught it.
oh yeah, really good call on that one lol
Archive thrifting is not 99% garbage I enjoy your thrifting videos
I enjoy the weird stuff you pick up for the show
Plus some of my favorite youtubers also does thrifting videos such as LGR cinemasickness etc
Keep up the great work Ben
I was referring to the lame Halloween stuff I always find.
@@OddityArchive I understand but I still really enjoy your thrifting series
15:03 I have that particular Santa Claus tape, purchased years ago with a whole bunch of other "Silver Bell Music" brand tapes. Finally took a listen to it after watching this video, and I say it's a good thing you passed on it. While the singing is not bad, it's fits 100% into kiddie record territory. Plus, my particular copy has very noticeable clipping as if the recording signal was too high when my copy was duplicated.
Oooh, I love thrifting. I've found some super cool vinyls that way. 😊
OMG!!!! Thank you for showing the Roosevelt Franklin record...... I have a special interest in all things Jim Henson (thanks to my Autism!) and that record while heavily scratched and sad looking made me a little happy.
Ben: Crap...crap...crap...*sees ceramic poo emoji* Shiiiiii-*paused as to not be smited by UA-cam Gods* Well you know. 🤣
I lost it!🤣
COOL! One of those RARE weekends that I'm NOT working -- and it's ALWAYS NICE to catch up with another episode.
That Sony HF-S "Microfine Crystal Gamma" cassette is a superferric. It is a very good one, and still commands a decent price on Fleabay etc. It was on a par with TDK AD or Maxel UD. Give it something it deserves!
*Nicolette Larson died very young at 45. Not well known though millions have heard Lotta Love, I've never come across an album of hers in all years of looking at stores,*
Hey! Don't "eew" Roosevelt Franklin. He's a GOD to the Gen Xers who grew up with Sesame Street crowd.
Billy Don't Be a Hero! From the only drive in movie I've ever seen with my parents in the 70's? The Trial of Billy Jack. I remember there was one scene that was embarrassing to see in front of my parents. Thanks for triggering a funny memory.
Tenneco is an auto parts manufacturer, who used to run a chain of gas stations of a decent size. They're based out of Tennessee though, and seemed to mostly stay in the Southeast.
That was a fun one! I love these episodes!
I wonder what thing gets possessed and goes after Ben next episode.
Cool to see you record your thrifting. I've been watching LGR's thrift shopping videos and been enjoying the heck out of them, so seeing you do these is just as awesome!
13:34 Ugh, I’ve been burned too many times like that! it’s either that or somebody put the wrong record in the sleeve! (Sometimes it’s a different album from the same artist but it’s most of the time it’s a completely different artist, or even genre) And it’s always the most interesting stuff too!
So glad to see another of these thrifting videos! They are my favorite. I really want those oval pilgrim wall decorations at 5:19 . And Bobby Goldsboro is such a downer. Who wants to hear "Autumn of my Life" while trick or treating?
That laughs!
12:59 I haven't heard _Sergei's Catacomb of Classics_ on shortwave lately, is he on lower power?
No he got jammed by the Russian Woodpecker.
Ii remember Jimmy Nelson and sidekick Webster Webfoot from his early '60s local kiddie TV show in Fresno CA. He was also the voice of Yakky Doodle (sounded exactly like Webster).
Whenever the package says "Rerecorded by the original artist(s)", you can bet your last 50 cents that the "original artist(s)" were nowhere near the studios where those albums were recorded. THEY'RE FAKE!
I love this stuff - $14. You need to do an episode on that ethnic stereotypes album, sounds like some Jewish Pocono mountains cabaret rubbish from about 1974.
Yeah, and I'd LOVE to hear that crap, Gotta be so bad as to be "gold". Since the over sensitive babysitters of UA-cam would object to it, He should upload the whole record to The Internet Archive.
Actually, I prefer placing cups like the skull one upside-down. It collects less dust.
Heh.. I actually have a few of those "Rock On" 80s CDs.
Hey Ben, You should upload that "Ethnic" record to the Internet Archive. I'm betting that it's so bad that it's good. Wall to Wall cringe, Likely in full fidelity mono.
Second this.
18.00 a great price for the super nintendo game. That one expensive here in canada. My heart broke when u didn't get it
i've got a couple of those 747 tapes in my collection, both Tears for Fears albums. (The Hurting and Songs from the Big Chair.) The Hurting has a couple of Simple Minds tracks on it, while Big Chair has a few songs from The Hurting on it. they sound about as good as you expect, but i think they're still just cool to have
Speaking of halloween can we except a new episode of horrors on thursday?
The Halloween episode will drop this week--horror is such a relative term that I'll let everyone decide that for themselves.
That simpsons hit and run pc game is screaming at me.
That game was great
The one that got away❤❤❤
I wonder, is Nicollet Larson the one who sang Lotta Love from the 70's?
Yup. Same one.
@@OddityArchive It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far
Whoa!
NBA JAM or NFL BLITZ are still the best Sports games if your not into sports..
Except for blades of steel or Arch rivals on the Nintendo are often overlooked..
there is a copy of Ethnic Laughs on Discogs for $50!
I eat at Chez Nous!
15:19 WHOA!
I think is next episode from Halloween Specials..?
You Should Have pick the Clarence tape its A Sequel to its a wonderful life
Wang Chung..
Isn't that bad..
Benny boy, I have a couple copies of Mario world if you want it.
I do thrifting/ Christmas shopping in mid October. Before Black Friday to save my money up so I can get it ready for the living hell.
But I'm more of a small business Saturday person.

The only thrift shop in my town besides Goodwill
13:20 Ronco using authentic versions of songs?.....cough, cough, splutter! YOU GOTTA BE JOKING! The label should've been called "Wrong-Co"! They use FAKE versions of songs(original artist or group named on sleeve and label but NOT heard on disc - song performed by someone PRETENDING to be that artist or group) Ronco are the US equivalent of Hughes Leasure Corp.(New Zealand) "Music World" label, UTTERLY UNTRUSTWORTHY - SHOULD BE AVOIDED LIKE THE PLAGUE!
For Ben's purposes, It's perfect.
If you haven't, invest in a real respirator. Might as well.
I love The Donnas but I agree that The Runaways are superior. And Gold Medal is a terrible album.
YAY, thrifting.
I dislike offensive stereotypes. Seriously!

For the love of Humanity, DON'T ever play Ralph Winn ever again! 😫
So, he’s out of the running for the next Vinyl Potpourri then?
That clip you played (clearly the Confucius' track) is a verbatim ripoff of Redd Foxx. I would, however, like to see/hear more of it in a future OA episode.
