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.
Still the best intro on the WWW. Good to see you John. Nice to see any original UK Moz pressings. You do not see them around here much anymore. I think I bought them all. {smile} Just kidding. They disappear faster than Taylor Swift singles. I think I bought them all. {smile} Just kidding. I am glad that I bought them when I did. Even the reissues are bumping up a bit in price. I just ordered the reissue of Beethoven. I think I grabbed the Rhino pressing. The original His Master's Voice pressing sounds OK. Nothing special. Hoping that the reissue sounds better. I am not really into studio produced live albums. But it is nice to hear anything from the Your Arsenal Tour. Brings back fond memories. No news on Bonfire of Teenagers or Without Music the World Dies. Maybe soon. House of Love's best album. Thanks J~ Rob/Boston
Hi 👋 Greetings from New Zealand. The Chosen Few sound very similar in vocal style as the Stylistics. Patrice Rushen had a hit in the 1980s with a song called Forget me Nots. Hope im right about that ?. From Carl.
Hi Carl. Nice to have a comment from NZ! The stylistics did People Make The World Go Round. The Chosen Few’s version has a very similar arrangement. And you’re right, Patrice Rushen did Forget Me Nots. Cheers! John
The story of the making of that House Of Love album is fascinating & horrifying in equal measure. About 14 studios 7 producers, the pressure was on them to become as big as U2, the band were literally going mad, Terry Bickers attempted suicide, it’s all documented in the Creation Records Story book. I keep telling Craig Danger to get that Stylistics debut album that has ‘People Make The World Go Round’. I’ve got the 7” of ‘I’m Just A Guy’ on Stufio One.
Morning Harris. I didn’t know that about The House Of Love album. I just remember Shine On being a big tune in Snobs in Brum. Yeah, Craig definitely needs a copy of the Stylistics album. Cheap Heat!
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
Hi David. I saw Lady Blackbird at a festival a couple of years ago and her vocals were extraordinary. The handful of tracks on the promo that I showed are rally nice so the album can’t come soon enough. Cheers! John
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!
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.
It would be nice to have an idea of what you payed. We can all find great records but not always be able to buy them. There are crazy prices and chancers out there!
Hi Brian. Morrissey is a difficult one. I don’t agree with his politics at all but still love those 90’s records. Was great to hear Kill Uncle again. Cheers. John
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 Steve. I don’t know Scrubbing The Dub. I’ll look out for that. I’ve picked up quite a few Derrick Harriott productions over the past few years. The b-sides to those late 60’s/early 70’s singles are always fantastic. Hope all is good with you. Cheers. John
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 ✌🏻
Hi Jon. I’ve heard a bit about the Stax doc but haven’t seen it. I’ll definitely check it out at some point. I’ve been spinning quite a bit of southern soul over the past few weeks. The Sweet Inspirations, Isaac Hayes, David Porter - I can feel a Stax video coming on. 👍👍
Hello John.... I've got the Alton Ellis LP but with no outer sleeve. It might be a 2017 re-issue or a bootleg of some sorts on a black and white Coxsone label. The Chosen Few LP certainty sounds interesting 👍👍👍
That was nice of the Red Arrows to put on a spectical for your video. The rest of the VC is going to have to up their game. I'm currently in talks with the Harlem Globetrotters to perform some crazy ball skills behind me in my next video. Cool tunes all the way. I noticed you flipped past a copy of the Texas Tornados' first album. I first thought you'd passed over a top bargain, but then noticed the box was labeled "Expensive stuff". Never mind, as you were.
What can I say? I have friends in high places…. Yeah, the first bin I flicked through was the higher priced stuff. Some nice records in there but, needless to say, I picked my purchases out of the cheap bins. Looking forward to seeing you shooting some hoops.
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'.
Hi Carl. A few people have pointed out that I missed the Texas Tornadoes record. I didn’t know what it was! Yes, Catch A Fire was £250. Although, that appears to be the going price for a decent copy, if you can believe it? Cheers. John
@@6inchpianist I have that Texas Tornados album on CD ... I knew 'Catch A Fire' goes for a lot (due to the cover?). It didn't even look mint condition on your video.
Hey! Yeah, Phyllis Hyman records always seem to be beat when I see them. That’s why I don’t own much of her stuff. And I need Practice’s first couple of records too. Don’t see them that often. Cheers. John
My my that Rock n Soul looks like a great find.....hi ya John👋🏻, hmmmm the Chosen Few?? Ok ok like the drop....always appreciate the record tours cheers John
It Must Be Love (Labi Siffre’s version) is one of my favourite songs and that Lady Blackbird cover sounds superb. Gosh Vauxhall and I - I used to play that album so much back in the 90s but not played it in ages. Cheers John. PS loved the planes footage!
Was richmix record shop called something else a few years back? stayed in Torquay and got the ferry to Brixham i'm sure i went that shop but it had a different name which escapes me. Had some great stuff but priced a bit high
Hi David. Yes, RichMix was called The Cavern. Changed ownership since then. Much better. Prices reasonable and decent stock. Worth a look if you’re in the area. Cheers. John
Very envious you got in a trip to Devon, glad it was enjoyable. I'm on the lookout for that Eno album, looked like a nice copy. I did buy the recent Roger Waters album but only on CD. Now there's someone you might disagree with their views and their music...
Hi Dale. Trip to Devon was fab. I know you was impressed with RichMix too. He always seems to have some interesting stock. I have picked up the Eno from a local shop. Has one of the best Side 1 Track 1’s ever! And don’t get me started about Roger Waters… 😀
I think it's possible to still like hated people. I listen to Pink Floyd and amused to death but still hate Roger the anti semite. I've a Derrick Morgan produced album by Watford Gospel church/choir. Totally bizzare how it got made but exceptionally good record. House of love just had a great guitar sound to go with Guy Chadwick's voice 👍 Nice area place to have a holiday/ break. Had a few there as a kid.
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.
Yeah the house of love and Mozza ! ❤

Derrick Harriot version of Eighteen with a bullet is great your all of his work as a producer and performer is brilliant
