For those who may not know, our beautiful friend, Topper, passed away yesterday on February 4, 2023. He was not only a wonderful personality but he was also a super talented musician who played multiple instruments. He love of vinyl recordings came from a professional musicians aspect. Some of us not only followed and watched him in various bands that he performed with back in the 1980s and beyond, but we also had the honor to jam with him. He was a great guitar player, keyboard player and singer, AND also a father, husband and friend. We will miss Topper.
Wow, some absolutely awesome finds.I I love Tangerine Dream I have a bunch of the cassettes I picked up at a garage sale years ago. The Beatles box set, holy smoke. Thanks for sharing. Peace be with you. Cheers.
Hey Topper! Nice to see you splurge on some long time wants. It's good to spoil yourself every now and again. You don't know how happy I was to see Smallcreep's Day! It's a great album. I'm hoping the Ellington stays in print a little while longer at Acoustic Sounds. I want it but haven't been ready to place my order for it yet. That is an all-time album and I know the 45 RPM of it must sound beautiful. I've been checking out Ozric Tentacles more and more. Cool to see you grab the new album. Congrats on the Kaleidoscope grail! That was a treat watching you open the package. Enjoyed catching up with you and your recent pick ups! All the best to you! -Bill
Morning Topper👋🏻☕️good to see ya.....woop rekkids 🎶😁...watching now take care stay well- Lis Ok we just started and I’m already getting light headed 😲😵 Omg call the EMTs that pepper looks crazy cool!! Way to go T!✊🏻✊🏻
You are right about Fireball. I need re UK version. Wow! Black Rose what a fantastic album!. Ah man Budgie! I keep seeing a Ellington box set at Mt. Carmel, huh. Brownie McGee & Sonny Terry? THE WOLF!!!! My favorite blues man. Sweet early UFO! Congratulations on the trail Topper. I just started listening to Kaleidoscope and really digging them. Wow fantastic Sgt. Pepper, Topper. Great stuff Brother. Peace
I always fire up Spotify while watching your videos. You've turned me on to sooo many great albums from the 60s and 70s. Loving Kaleidoscope... many thanks!
Hey man, hope you are feeling well, you look like you are. I agree with UFO-2, the first side is stellar. You made me pull it off my shelf for the first time in years. I have that same Kaleidoscope reissue and it sounds great. All the Kaleidoscope bands are essential psych in my opinion. Peace.
Looking better dude!!!!! Wish I knew you were looking for that Budgie LP, just digitized a customers copy for him. Black Rose never got the praise it deserved IMO. Great looking Beatles set. Rock on Topper!!
That was a great Ozric Tentacle album, that is a group I also really enjoy. Very cool yo got tat record from Greece. Pretty exciting, enjoy Topper. Steve
Hi Topper .At 15:52 Wow I am happy for you ,sending you good vibrations. I was born and raised in Athens - Greece and spend the best years of my life there!!!!........ Cheers from Toronto - Canada .........George
Still to play Barry gibb greens leaves duets dolly Parton alison krauss gillan welch doing the bee gees back catalogue country style but we'll done as always.also newish artist celeste mixture of Billie holiday nina Simone sade.happy to get that cd record shops still shut buying in the supermarket. John.
Hi Topper. I've heard the AS pressing of that Ellington is extraordinary. Purple, Lizzy and Budgie - what a trio. Budgie's debut, imo, is as good as Squawk. Their two best. Whoa - Kaleidoscope. What a treat, indeed. Enjoy!
So many killer albums! Love that Fireball, so clean! UFO second! Budgie Squawk! And ends it with the Brit Grail Kaleidoscope, all super killer and ALL albums I do not own :( but many on my hit list! Congrats Topper! That was so great!!! 🤙👍🤙👍🤙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice haul Topper. You've got some real gems in there. Small Creeps Day is a real sleeper. a very solid album that has some wonderful musical moments on it.
Awesome albums you got! I love that Ozric Tentacles! Before buying it, I didn’t know a lot of the original guys participated on that album. It was a real treat! Enjoy your albums!
Oh man , that was really some great albums. That Tangerine Dream album was a surprise, i haven`t seen that one. Now you got me inspired. Greetings from Sweden !!
Wow wow wow, so much good stuff here! Fireball is a great album, i'd love to grab the UK someday. I have a cd deep purple comp with Demon's eye and it really cranks. Howlin' Wolf is so freakin good, gotta grab that same reissue. Awesome video, keep it up!
Wow Kaleidoscope!! You aren’t kidding Originals are way outta my league and you’re also right about the reissues They’re worth a vital organ to get! But the music is absolutely amazing One day I’ll just say f*€k it and buy it! This is an amazing show and tell! Thanks for sharing enjoy the Kaleidoscope! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️
You've showed my 2 favourite bands Ozric Tentacles and Budgie...superb taste sir. Real glad you managed to get the new Ozric album although, for me, not one of their better ones and is more of an Ed Wynne solo album like Shimmer Into Nature. BTW great looking copy of Fireball.
@@TimelordUK Great to have you on board. From their earlier period i would recommend Jurassic Shift (made no.11 here in the U.K) and from there 'Curious Corn', 'Paper Monkeys' and my personal favourite 'Become The Other'. 'Strangeitude' seems to be a fan favourite if you are interested.
Really good stuff man! I just got that kaleidoscope last month, our local record store had a copy of it and of course it was a reissue. Lol like you said an original copy would be a thousand bucks, but it sounds amazing. Really enjoyed the video brother
Just listened to the latest Ozric Tentacles record... Great stuff! Might need to give it a listen when I'm a little more "mellow" if you know what I mean... ;)

It's only money-- spend it! You nailed the UFO album. It's a young band trying to find their way pre-Schenker and even pre-Bernie Marsden.
Great buys! Enjoy your listening time ✌️
Mr. Topper, always loving your videos in Serbia! Thank you for showing the amazing finds ❤
after watching this video I've picked up the UFO2 album on vinyl and it is amazing. thanks for the recommendations.
Thanks again Sir Topper for a very interesting episode of your ongoing vinyl story
Wow, some absolutely awesome finds.I I love Tangerine Dream I have a bunch of the cassettes I picked up at a garage sale years ago. The Beatles box set, holy smoke. Thanks for sharing. Peace be with you. Cheers.
Awesome haul Topper.
Always great to see you,and the choice of vinyl you purchase with a limited budget.
Ozric Tentacles is a great buy! Stay safe and keep well.
As usual Oddbox, another outstanding video. Although unfamiliar with much of your haul, you’ve broadened my horizon. Stay safe!
Great way to reinvest in the economy and life’s little enjoyments! I’m jealous! 🖖🚀

Thanks Oddbox, I've never heard of Ozrik Tentacles before. WOW!
Hi Topper! Glad to see you with a new video. 😎👍
Just listened to the latest Ozric Tentacles record... Great stuff! Might need to give it a listen when I'm a little more "mellow" if you know what I mean... ;)
British pressings are the best.
And an LP disc that plays on 45? Wow.
Lost a bit of weight keep well big John.
I come for the You never know.
Thank you thank you 😊
A shame that Tangerine Dream didn't release an album called Kaleidoscope...
Long time, no see, man. Hope you’re doing well.
Doing OK. Living in Narrows on my small farm. Great to hear from you.
You can't top that Gentle Giant box set you have. They're the best.
ozric Tentacles is one of the greatest bands ever.....
Wow! Nice haul!
Thank you for always bringing a big smile to my face, and entertaining all of us music lovers 🎼
