Arnoldo will you be doing a review of Chappell Roan and Fletcher? Thanks
@@joankovacs9669 I am waiting for the re-release of Chappell. Stay tuned!
Wonderful!!!
Hi Arnaldo, I visited third man records on Saturday with mazzy. Interesting store. I’ll give the travis album a listen I’ve always liked them but you’ve peaked my interest..though they’ve been promoting it heavily in the uk ..cheers arnaldo 👍
@@robwalkerletthemusicplay it was nice seeing you in Mazzy’s video. Hope you guys had a good time. I was surprised how much I liked the Travis record.
Congratulations - I appreciated your objective review. I've loved Rega turntables for 30 years, and as they sound very good, I've occasionally had problems with quality or peculiarities. These were moments when I was a little disappointed. But at the end of the day, for the price, you get an enjoyable turntable. 👍
@@karabennemsi1923 4 months in and I’m still happy with it. 👍🏻
I tend to agree with you and commenter below . Its true there have been loads of Smiths sound alike bands - Sundays and Housemartins- . The thing about Gene's singer and Wes, is they are paying homage (ripping off ) , Moz voice, subject matter, persona etc ... In Eddie My Love wes says "call me , call me ", which is just like Moz singing "phone me, phone me " there are alot of these . even the subject matter of Eddite is pure moz - Homo affection . Like Martin he also tries to copy the whole stage moves , interests etc etc. . As a band Brigitte Calls Me , are like Oasis... That is to say they lift from all sorts - The Strokes, The KIllers, The Smiths , The LA's etc.. I actually , really like Brigitte , and think the band could be something special
@@UnionJackies-TheBritishWay 💯👍🏻👍🏻
@@fidelios_frequencyI should add, they could be special, if Wes carries on, as is.. He will get nailed to floor of mozdom and be straggled by the ghost of troubled Moz.., and will end up being a new Jobriath figure , forever known as a mimic , when actually they have a lot more to offer . Keep up the good work
@@UnionJackies-TheBritishWay Yes, I believe there is much more in them than just 80’s revisionism. I appreciate the discourse and the encouragement. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You missed Franz Ferdinand's first LP, and the Trash Can Sinatra's Re Gene Martin Rossiter was a pure Morrissey rip act , until the public fashion changed then he stabbed him in the back He was accused of bad abuse by his ex-wife, and he also got sacked from his job for sexual harassment for collage at the music college he worked at Re the LP, i agree with what you say but i wouldn't say the singer is better than Morrissey, as Morrisseys voice is completely his own, he may at times, stray into a kind of Elvis but its primal and his. Also he came out his own person, ready made. Jake Rowley has given himself a fake name Wes Levins and is a mimic. so he will never match up to Morrissey.. I know what you meant, though you meant technically better but there are loads of singers who are technically better, but they are not better singers to the heart ...Thats the key If you want to copy the Smiths do it like Suede, they took the spirit and created something as beautiful.. To copy Morrissey like Jake (wes) has , is very high school , he is aping the voice, stage moves, lyrics , and also personas .. When you do this you lack authenticity
I never really considered Franz Ferdinand a Smiths “rip-off”. I viewed them more inspired by New Wave acts like Blondie. I meant that Wes Leavins has a greater vocal range than Morrissey’s. Thanks for watching ✌🏻
@@fidelios_frequency I wasn't having a moan by the way. I just meant there were a few bands that were smiths alike, Housemartins etc But i see Bridgitte Calls Me Baby (one of the worst band names in the world ) more along the lines of The KIllers and Franz first lp, in as much as they do take from Smiths in feel etc but there are loads of other rips ..The La's etc The difference is , where as franz and Killers, Smoking Popes etc wander into moz vocal style.. Wes (jake Rowley ) is more like Martin from Gene , he is trying to copy Mozers whole singing style, and persona ... This is ok for one lp , but if he doesn't move up a gear, he will get nailed for being a copyist (especially in the UK )
Genius
I remember the first time I heard sexy boy on a Greek music channel... I liked it so much that I waited impatiently for the album to come out. When it was released I immediately ran to buy the cd. And of course it didn't disappoint me... From then until today, every time I hear it, it's like hearing it for the first time. It's an all time classic!!! P.S.I got it 6 years ago on the 20 anniversary vinyl but I believe that VMP will cover me more acoustically so I'm thinking of getting it on this version as well
@@uninvited35 if you do get the VMP I would love to know how it compares to the 20th anniversary. ✌🏻
@@fidelios_frequency I'll tell you. I hope it sounds better… This is the reason I will buy it again
bryan fwrry retro 5 cd is coming out november. great vidoe. mr ferry is legend solo or roxy. a singers singer. thanks for ur videos
@@gerardfletcher1203 yes , I read about the collection. Looks like a very nice one. Thanks for tuning in. 😊
I pre-ordered and created the Discogs record for this (clear) lp because of your ep review; excellent pressing. I streamed the ep a few times and was hooked (never bought, wanted to hear it all at once). I have spinning the lp near daily; absolutely love it end to end (so many influences, "meta indie"). Ty for highlighting the ep, it is always fun to listen to new artists especially when they are this talented!
@@false_binary I was hooked the first time I saw them on CBS Saturday Sessions. I noticed no one has created an entry for the live bonus disc. I may have to do that. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments. Be well! ✌🏻
Nice review Arnaldo! I really dug the ep. Bought it because of your recommendation. Thanks!! Definitely interested in checking out the lp. It’s a bit disappointing that all the ep songs are on the album. They should’ve left some off to make the ep have some exclusives. I would have preferred them putting out a new ep with six songs. Haha! Glad to see there are band photos on the album. Biggest oversight was no photos on the ep. They have the look, but didn’t use it. Like you, I’m rooting for this band. Cheers, Jon
@@bipbopboom I agree with you that they didn’t have to include the entire EP on the album, but they are such solid songs and they fit perfectly within the flow of the album. I wish they had included the lyrics as well. Glad you appreciate! Thanks for your feedback and for watching. Take care! ✌🏻
The joys of owning overpriced overrated British audio equipment.
🤷🏻
Hi Arnaldo, great video. I went to see the exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery when it opened last year in London and absolutely loved it. George Martin even manages to look suave in trunks 😂. I didn’t pick up the book at the time as I was heading to Wembley for a rugby game in the afternoon but your video reminded me it is on the ‘to buy’ list. Andy
Hey Andy, good thing the book is easily available and actually has come down in price now. 😉 I had it in my cart for a while. ✌🏻
Very cool overview 👍🏻
Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Awesome exhibit, excellent walkthrough & recap!
Thank you. Glad you liked it. ✌🏻
An amazing exhibit it was truly like viewing Beatlemania in the eyes of Sir Paul. Happy to have visited it twice before it closes. Fantastic video.
Glad you were able to enjoy it!
The book is great and I am looking forward to seeing the show. It comes to Portland in October. Cool folio!!! Love it!
@@mazzysmusic I didn’t know it was coming to Portland, great! Seeing the photos printed is a whole different experience.
Have you by any chance listened to the earlier Kevin Gray cut of "Hissing" by Speakers Corner?
I have not listened to the Speakers Corner version.
This band is incredible! Jimmy Kimmel last week, followed by Lollapalooza. Wow! What a whirlwind.
Yes! They are on the rise!
A very nice Boxset
The biggest upgrade you can make to the Rega P6 is a great cartridge like the nagaoka MP 500 and a great phono preamp like the trigon Vanguard III preamp
f a riend had a Rega in early 80's and it squeaked so we pushed the platter gently on start up. Forty years later exactly the same with my P6. Its no big deal its just a Rega thing. great tip on the hum which really bugged me. nevetheless great turntable no regrets.
I have been hearing from many that the squeak is normal for the Rega. Thanks for watching and commenting. ✌🏻
Great video my man!!! Excellent job with the mini bio on the formation of the band leading up to the debut album. I have two copies of the first album without Kissing Time. In my opinion it sounds better and more of a raw sound compared to the addition of kissing time on the latter pressings . There’s been discussion on this topic. Maybe you could make a debut album revisited addition and discuss this particular topic. I also have the very first promo vinyl 45 of Nothin to Lose. One side mono, one side stereo. I also have kissing time and nothing to lose as well as nothing to lose and love theme from Kiss all original 1974 first pressings. So now I am collecting magazine articles from 1974 featuring the very first photos and reviews of the band, which I think is really cool.Rock scene and creem magazines. I also have one called bettle from Canada 1974.
Sorry beetle magazine
@@mikecogar8595 thanks for the compliments. Those are some really special 7” you have. I’ve never heard of the mono version of Nothin To Lose. Pretty cool. One day I hope to come across a first press without Kissin Time. 🤞🏻Thanks for watching 🤘🏻
No no no they got the Steely Dan t-Shirts!
@@whoiskcwhat but it’s a Rickie Lee singing!!! 🤣
Love the review! I’m so excited for their full album tomorrow. Some of their singles since the ep have been my favorites yet. Would love to hear your thoughts on it, as someone who does have so much knowledge of their influences, once it is out.
Hopefully I will post a review soon!

Can you order this off of eBay? That's the best SATD box set ever hopefully motley Crue will do TFFL & TOP & GGG , Dr feel-good all box sets like this one... maybe?
You can actually get it on Amazon for $99 at the moment. Quite a steal. Stay tuned for upcoming MC box sets later in the year. 😉
Awesome review love the pictures you posted from Italy man I would love to visit that country. I’m definitely thinking about getting that Joni Mitchell cut at 45 from vinyl me please I do have the Chris Bellman cut that last 45 cut was VMP was Tribe Called Quest Low End Theory on 45rpm I believes was the last 45rpm done by VMP and it sounds outstanding. You definitely broke it down perfectly the comparisons it’s of my favorite period of Joni her jazz period and I’m going to check out that Don Blackmon that’s a tough record to find originals. I really dug it Arnaldo take care.
ATCQ... how can I forget? OMG That was an AMAZING VMP release! The Joni CB cut is definitely an excellent one & I would recommend the VMP if you love the album. If you haven't been to Italy, you must visit. :) Thanks always for watching.
Dude can we be friends? Just want to talk about how great bcmb are! 😭🔥
Indeed, do you follow me on IG?
Whats your ig , can't find it 🥲@@fidelios_frequency
Welcome back! The Don Blackman release is one of my favorite VMP’s in the last few years, possibly ever. Glad you got one 🙌🏻
@@ConcertBuddie thanks for bringing it to my attention 😉
My favorite Joni record. Didn’t understand it in my younger years but I’m finally grasping some of Joni’s vision and genius. Great video sir.
@@PrismApplied indeed perhaps not her most immediate album. Thanks for watching. 😊
And now I’m through the Don Blackman part. Listening to it now. Damn, this is a cool album! I’ve never heard this one. Thanks again for sharing these great albums!
Yeah, I was late on that one myself. ✌
Great review, Arnaldo! Joni is amazing, and this album is awesome! Your thorough, honest reviews carry a lot of weight. Thanks for this one!
@@spinzvinyl There is no one like Joni 😍Thanks for watching! 😊
Great review, I love this band. Can't wait for the full length album!
@@user-wo7jf3wu7r Yes, I’m looking forward to the album next month 😊. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
I was at the grand Rapids concert. Best concert ever. Love them
Fun show!
I was at the GR show too! Arguably the best night of my life
Give the platter a little spin before turning on your table. The squeak goes away.
@@timothyfreeseha4056 thanks. Occasionally I remember to do that. 👍🏻
I passed on this when it was initially released because it's basically the same material that's already been released. I was hoping they would go back and remix the album and include maybe a live show or the pro-shot US Festival show on DVD with those unforgettable videos but they didn't do that. I'm going to purchase the box set after watching your video but I'm holding out for a sale. Looks really cool.
@@renemies78 the box set is well made and is a collector piece.
Is "The Queen is Dead" my favorite album of all times? Let´s put it this way: I have "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" tattooed on my right arm and "It Takes Guts To Be Gentle and Kind" on the left one. Thanks a lot, Arnaldo, for this deep dive into your great collection. My only comment would be: Thank the gods (?) you didn't run into an argentinean copy of TQID! It's horrendous in terms of sound, packaging and overall quality. I keep it just because is the same I got when I was 15 and changed my life forever since then. Once again, congratulations for the great job you are doing. Greetings from Argentina! 🔷⬜🔷
Hi Christian! Thank you for watching and your continued support. Great choice in tattoos ✌🏻
You mentioned two versions of Hand In Glove, a single version and the first album version. I collect CDs rather than vinyl; it would be useful to have information on which song version appears on which CD (for Hand In Glove, but also going forward to other songs). Thanks for the deep-dive!
The single version of HIG is on the CD versions of Hatful of Hollow, Louder Than Bombs, The Sound of the Smiths & the Singles Box Set. You can identify the single version because it starts with a fade-in instead of the snare drum hit. The album version is known as the “John Porter mix”. Strangely enough the “Singles” compilation does not have the single version of HIG. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@fidelios_frequency Thanks for the clarification! It's interesting to hear the difference between the two versions.
Best riff of all time.
Too Fast for love and Shout at the Devil are both Absolute masterpieces. Theatre of Crap and all that followed are so so.
Thanks for watching. 🤘🏻
I've been lucky enough to see Rickie Lee twice in Glasgow. She poured everything into those shows. It was a revelation. Thanks for posting this great performance.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
That Chalino record is GOLD
@@SuperMarcoPolo7 thanks. It’s pretty cool.
In my opinion you should have just upgraded the project I have a Rega and had many issues with mine not as good as everyone thinks for the cost of these units
❤❤❤
This was a great video for current and prospective Rega P6 owners. I had a Rega P3-24 back in the day and liked it. The squeaky sound is normal not just in Rega but other tables as well, such as a VPI Classic that I own. It comes from the belt slipping as it tries to turn and get the platter up to speed. With the talcum powder, you place the whole belt in it which coats the rubber on the belt and this grips to the platter and motor better eliminating the squeal. So yes this is normal with belt driven turntables. What is normally suggested is to turn the plater first, then hit the power button, which will have the belt more in sync with the platter because the belt won’t hav to use as much force to get it up to speed. I also now own two direct drive tables the Technics sl-1200 GR and the Denon DP-3000ne. The Denon is more in line with the build quality and weight of the VPI at 40 pounds. The Technics had this bobble problem when first using the cueing over to lift the stylus off of the record, but it eventually goes away with use, but it drives you nuts and it’s been talked about on CZcams often. The Denon doesn’t have this issue, nor are the RCA and ground connections located under the table near the tonearm, which causes you to either lift with one hand straining your wrist or propping it up with something like with the Technics. The Denon has none of these issues, neither does the VPI, but the Technics GR is a fine sounding table. The Denon’s feet are huge and they look like the ones on VPI Prime Signature series turntables. The Technics short comings led to me purchasing the Denon and this might be the reason I stop dealing with belt drive tables all together, no maintenance like with the VPI, but I love my VPI and the unipivot tonearm is better with more detail overall, but it can be a headache to set up but the Denon is close.
@@sidvicious3129 thank you for your thorough comment. ✌🏻
@fidelios_frequency just out of curiosity, was the NYC shop you mentioned In Living Sound? Also considering a P6 and was thinking of visiting that spot as they carry rega but heard similar feedback as yours re: the clientele, customer service etc.
It was not In Living Sound. I heard someone that did buy from them had a good experience. The NYC shop I was talking about is Park Ave Audio.
@@fidelios_frequency Thanks very much for the quick reply, good to know
so Vinyl Me Please does do good sounding re-issues, cool!!
