Thank you for the feature and kind words John!! Hope to see you again soon.

Hi John, thanks for the link to Gene Ammons and Joe Thomes.

Good stuff John. That Moog Indigo record sounds fab. I agree that Page's guitar solos are messy (though I like them that way!) and I've often wondered if that was deliberate. He was clearly very accomplished so I'm inclined to think so.

Hi John. I've got the Moog one. So do you recognise the samples or Google them? I wish I could get up for car boots. I'm not sure what puts me off of them. Maybe too disorganised for my liking. I've a Derrick Morgan album with a gospel choir I'll have to PM you a clip it is absolutely awesome.

Always really great stuff. Love all that reggae you share. Hot take on Jimmy, but to each their own.

Totally with you on Ken Booth. I’ve loved his voice ever since I heard Everything I Own on the radio as a kid. Those reggae 7’s are real find and in those great 70s cardboard sleeves from (I think) Boots. Definitely worth your while getting up early that morning! Cheers John.

I’m the opposite. I can’t stand Robert plant’s vocals, but like Jimmy Page’s guitar. I was watching the last Brum Reseelar vid...ne hit a rich seam of classic rock at the car boot, but the bloke selling made it tricky as they weren’t priced so he was randomly calling out prices. It was interesting. I’ve got EVA on 12”. It’s on the flip of the Fatboy Slim remix. ‘Just To Get A Rep’ is an absolute classic by Gangstarr.

Ive never liked Led Zeppelin, could'nt get into them.

Enjoying your videos John. Nice pick-ups. I'm not a fan of Led Zeppelin. They've never done it for me. I recognised the song you did a needle drop from the moog LP. I think it was used in an advert in the 90s for something (for orange juice? not so sure) but not the version you played. Some great bargains on the Reggae singles. Cheers.

Nice picks John. When Jimmy Page is being economical with his playing his solos can be sublime..Ten Years Gone on that album is a classic example. Candy soundtrack sounds great..definitely my thing. Some great reggae 45s..bargain.

Wave Length was the last Van Morrison album that I bought. It was okay and it is long gone. Candy is a cool soundtrack. Hatful Of Hallow is a great album. 60 Reggae singles is a huge haul.

Great pick-ups John, blows my recent boot finds out of the water! Bags of reggae 45s is the sort of thing you dream of (or is it just me who dreams of what might be at the car boots...) Hopefully I'll get round to showing some of the stuff I've found soon, cheers Dale

I need to move to the Birmingham area....its where the good stuff is at !!! Great finds 👍👍👍

Hi John always fun to see what you’ve been grabbing .. my boot sales have been limited this year, I picked up candy though a couple of years ago for 50p .. ha I can sympathise with other people pull records out next to you but you did well grabbing over 50 .. cheers John 👍

Gorgeous Reggae Singles! Ken Booth sounds fab! Cheers 🍻

I was pleased to see you holding up "Strutter" John. Boy. Tim Booth is one of my faves from the late 80's and 90's. <> Two of my all time favorite bands in the same Car Boot Sale. You cannot go wrong with Hollow and Graffiti. Its funny how serious people get when anyone talks about Zeppelin in a not so positive way. {smile} I never took it personal when someone said anything negative about the Blimp, The Smiths or even the Beach Boys. <> I laughed at some of the comments below. Especially BruceVinyl3504. <> I got to see Zeppelin three times in 1977. Jimmy's performances were not always on the money. But when he was on he was unbeatable. All three of the NY shows were great. One of the things that I remember most about the shows was the overall sound. I sat way up in the greens for the first night. Lower arena the second night and twenty rows from the stage for the third night. They were incredibly loud but the sound was impeccably clear. No matter where we sat we could hear each one of them perfectly. Including Robert's vocals. Their PA system was one of the best in the business. <> I hope that they start to have some Car Boot Sales over here. <> Enjoy Graffiti, Hollow & Strutter. Three excellent albums~ Rob/Boston

Wow love that Storm track 🔥🔥🔥gorgeous labels on those reggae 45s especially Torpedo and Pama Supreme. Congrats on the bag of riddim

It was really John Bonham's drumming that made led zeppelin stand out from the crowd and not jimmy page or Robert Plant as good as they were great album all the same

Love the Reggae 7' singles ! In The Light is my favourite Zeppelin track . I think both In Through The Outdoor & Presence are mediocre albums & Zep were probably done one way or the other.

You've been busy, John. I'm sure you were excited to stumble on those reggae 7"s. I've never bought a Led Zeppelin record- and fully intend to keep it that way.🤣

Zeppelin… Beatles… Smiths… do you not value sleep, John?! Page a much better composer than soloist. Completely agree. The older I get, the less I need Zeppelin in my life. 60 reggae 45s! That’s all? 👀 Cheers! ✌🏻

Nice finds - I need to get car booting ! Good prices too

Hahaha you didn’t say that did you??? lol lol.....Steppenwolf sookie sookie I hear ya there ✊🏻🎶🎸🎤....great story on the 45s 👏🏻😎cheers John🍻

Hey! These mostly work great, but I don't know about Pata Pata. The rhythms are all over the place, it's like it's trying to pull itself apart. But I love that they tried.

Hi John, I've enjoyed ploughing thru all your posts, even though I'm not a Vinyl collector ! but I love and collect music and enjoy the new (old) artists that you've introduced me to. I've managed to get the Clydie King and Cousteau albums on CD, more to follow....also enjoy the pub posts, keep it up ! If you haven't yet, I suggest you check out Broadway Records in Fulham (only open on Saturdays) and Ben's in Guildford; both amazing crate diving options, especially for you who collect 45's.

Thanks for sharing these gems. Caroline Crawford actually works in one of my local record shops

Five great tunes! Thanks for the education. ✌🏽

👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi John. You passed by the debut album by the Texas Tornados in the racks at the record shop. They included Doug Sahm and Augie Meyers of the Sir Douglas Quintet. Also, was that copy of 'Catch A Fire' only £2.50? Surely it wasn't £250? ... I love 'Here Come The Warm Jets'.

another killer video! Thumbs up! Trish

So, just point me to the compilation that has all these on it, and we’re good to go, John. Loved that version of “Dark End of the Street!”

Another great video and great selection of vinyl too, especially the first tune. The sub-genre of reggae soul covers really does have some fantastic tracks out there, and you chose some gems!

I recognize "Dark End of the Street" from The Commitments! As an American I'm embarrassed to admit that I've learned about a lot of American music from people in the British Isles. You, Madame Cyn, The Commitments, the Stones, Zeppelin...

Like that version of Pata Pata. I was just thinking about how I loved the look of those labels and then you said it lol. Great tunes John! Cheers.

Totally ignorant as to the origins of the songs but all done in that skinhead reggae style to me. So many subsidiary labels etc... that make that genre so interesting to collect . I managed to pick up some reggae 7" singles myself over the past couple of weeks,including a copy of "Wet Dream" by Max Romeo...only ever owned that one via compilation albums,until now 👍👍👍

I love reggae covers, it is an institution in Jamaica even today, although I don’t think royalties were paid out very often lol My current passion are reggae 12 inch singles from 70’s with the version or dub on the b side, outstanding. I’ve been digging up copies for $2, $5, up to $10 for rare ones

Chosen Few? I liked em in the last vid and diggin’ this too.....hiya John cool labels and of course the drops ....🍻 cheers 🍻

Great video ❤️

Okay, John. Catching up. Alright then. Will look for that Alton Ellis reissue. Some nice representation in that “expensive stuff” bin in the record shop. I have no solo Morrissey records. I only have Bona Drag on CD. I’ve been watching the Stax documentary on HBO (Max). It’s not thorough enough, but still good. Hope all is well your way. Cheers ✌🏻

What's the famous saying "the man who is tired of London is tired of life" well we've been on quite alot of protesting there lately and frankly I'm a bit tired of it..... if i could just shoehorn in some records I'd be awake again. Liking a bit of random modern art too though am jealous of them also just started reading the Kim Gordon autobiography never previously aware she was an artist before sonic youth. Maybe I'm just too much a suburbs boy and a case of London is on my doorstep and it's always there so why rush in? Notting hill downstairs record and tape exchange used to be great.

Hi John, that Chosen Few record you played has some superb vocals. Great that you got the Eno stuff and the Morrissey albums - despite his later records being fairly average his early stuff is brilliant and as you said they bring back wonderful memories. He needs to move back home and get back to reality. We saw the House Of Love live recently in Norwich, superb gig but I haven't got that one on vinyl as yet. We need some more pub jukebox sessions please!

John, that was some nice pick ups. The Chosen Few sounded nice, cool store and that ending, what a great version. cheers!

Nice finds..Good to see The House of Love Butterfly album, I was so into them around 1990, saw them in Brum, very good live. Hope you're keeping well John. Have to go for another beer sometime.

Nice suntan John.

Some interesting footage from that second hand record store, John. Did I see you flip past the Linda Lewis debut?! You may want to rewind on that...🤔I know what you mean about politically challenged artists. I've never liked Bryan Ferry's views (particularly on fox hunting) but won't let that interfere with listening to the early Roxy Music albums.

Some lovely finds there. I've been listening to a lot of Eno as well. Had a similar find last year. My current fav is Before and After Science. There is something about Derrick Harriott's productions. Some of it can be a bit too much for me but other recordings are sublime. His dub records are quite strange as well - quite light in places but joyful as well. Especially Scrubbing The Dub. All the best, Steve.

Hi John - I have most of Tom Waits on vinyl, but Swordfishtrombones is probably my favourite album. I saw Lady Blackbird in March 2023 - she was sooo good. Looking forward to her new album. Cheers - D

Yeah the house of love and Mozza ! ❤

Love Patrice Rushen, still need her first few albums Have alot of Phyllis Hyman too but seems like I dont see many good copies of her stuff

Morning John. Wow!!!! The last minute of this video stood the hairs on my neck on end.....WOW!!! The song, beautiful the Red Arrows, amazing as always. Put together like that was something special. Great albums you bought there.. thanks for the video John. Floss.
