hello topper, some really nice finds again! a little bit of everything. love the ventures and they did put out a whole bunch of lps throughout their career, especially in japan where they were really popular. lots of good stuff to listen to there, hope you are well and safe, thanks for sharing once again.
I haven’t seen Rolling Rock beer in awhile. I hit the Barnes And Noble sale as well. Picked up The Young Rascals and Rosanne Cash’s latest. Love that Bowie album. I’ve never seen that Who album. Very cool! Great find!
The Alarm was a band from Wales that had som success in the 80's. They kind of remind of early U2 with songs like ''68 guns'' and ''Spirit of 76''. I remember them from back when i was 12 years old. My older brother was into them. Thanks for your video 😊👍🤘
Rock n Roll with Rolling Rock! That Hank looks good man, finding The Who albums was a very lucky day!!! That is a really good Talking Heads is a fun record, stay up late is a good song just a fun album bro. Congrats on your finds enjoy them! Stay safe
Man I am a huge fan of the Old Latrobe Rolling Rock Something so refreshing of drinking an Ice Cold Brew out of a green glass bottle LoL One of my favorite beers! Great to see you’re getting out and making some great scores Man I’ve loved The Who since I was in grade school I used to run around as an 11 yr old kid singing Pinball Wizard word for word Haha Great Haul Peace ☮️Cosmic Vinyl
I really should get a copy of PinUps because of the Syd Barrett cover of See Emily Play. I love Bowie and love Syd Barrett. This album never really interested me for a long time until I started reading about Syd Barrett and discovered what an amazing songwriter he was. I do a lot of travel for work - pre COVID that is - and I always made time to visit the local record store and dig. It can be fun! No telling what you might find! And you found some gems!
The Alarm opened for U2 during the War tour and I had the opportunity see them and led to 30 some odd year love affair with their music. Recently saw them a local club not to long ago. Lone Justice was a country punk rock out of LA coming out around the time of the country punk movement that produce Rank n File , the Best Farmers and The Long Ryders. Beat Rodeo was a country rock band from NYC put together by Richard Barone of the Bongos and Steve Alana’s of the Suicide Commandos. I believe they recorded that album at Mitch Easter Drive Inn Studio which was the home to the early recordings of REM. Always good to fun new stuff. Thanks for sharing😃
Rolling rock was made in my hometown and is my drink of choice It’s funny that I have two goodwills that are like my honey hole that hank Williams is awesome. The Who album would be dynamite to have. Nice stuff
China Crisis was a British synt- pop band on there highest begin to middle 80's. "Flount the imperfection" was the 3th. album, after the most famous "Working with fire and steel" album. I have a small 80's British synthpop obsession. also in my record colletion
I love your haul videos. And wondering about the journey for the Who album!! I'm interested to! It's sad about all the small places that haven't been able to survive covid :/ it's been extra rough on so many ppl. I'm glad you're hanging in there tho!
Morning Topper☕️👋🏻our local Goodwill or Charity shops never ever have anything like what you and others find.... Nice find! Williams on stage!...never seen that Who comp....dig Talking Heads, Pretenders yeah✊🏻...good dig for you Topper enjoy the wax- Lis
great video,i am from ontario,canada,the goodwill stores suck here too, but i do find alot of other good lps at other thrift stores,i might try doing my own videos,keep up the great videos
Nice album pick ups. The Ventures are hard to find too. My local Goodwill is still closed and my local record store is going out of business too. I think tomorrow is supposed to be record store day. I don't even know a place near me participating, without driving 50 miles I used to drink Rolling Rock when I lived in Ohio. Can't find it here in New York though.
Hey Topper love that Bowie cover album. It’s a shame that Covid has destroyed a lot of good peoples lives but we will all come out of it eventually. The Ventures never put out a bad album I love them all. Take care brother, Cheers Snowy
Wow, you hit the Salvation Army at the right time Topper, some great picks for a buck. That Manfred Mann album looks super clean. I use to find some great stuff in rural WV when I use to travel and work there. Nice picks. The dogs were quiet today.
Awesome vid brother, just ordered a nice copy of lone justice on vinyl, paid £6.99 for it man, bargain, can't wait to receive it. Thanks 👍 oddbox for that. ✌️ ☺ 🍄 🇬🇧.
More excellent finds Topper. Hope this won't be your last finds with the stores closing. Do you have any flea markets that you can go to? Around my area some flea markets have closed due to the owners of the properties sold out to developers. The ones remaining have pure trashy albums or great ones at ridiculously high prices and they will not negotiate on the prices. Peace to all and please stay safe.
Great finds. It’s good you went to some different places. I like that Bowie album! I just got back from a road trip to my grandpa’s. Got quite a few amazing albums from a record store and 4 level antique shop. Promotional copies of Jimi Hendrix “Rainbow Bridge”, Kitaro “Tenku”, Jethro Tull “Too Old To Rock ‘N’ Roll: Too Young To Die!” and UK pressings of Vangelis “Spiral”, “Beaubourg”, and his album with Jon Anderson “The Friends Of Mr. Cairo”. Then US pressings of Roxy Music “Avalon”, Al Di Meola “Casino”, Chick Corea “The Leprechaun”, Spyro Gyra “Morning Dance”, Emerson Lake & Palmer first album with hype sticker, Yes “Close to the Edge”, and The Buck Pets first album.
I can’t wait to put them on my turntable! It’s interesting that UK pressings were in that record store. The owner was guessing that maybe guys in the military must of picked them up or something. Who knows. I couldn’t believe finding that promo of Rainbow Bridge. The cover has ring wear and such, but the vinyl is NM. My dad got a white label promo of “Close to the Edge”. I got a normal one. It’s our favorite Yes album. It was awesome to go searching for vinyl with my Dad.
To be avoided at all costs: Her live duet with Bono covering the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting For the Man". Not sure where I heard it, but I'm hoping it never crosses my path again.
I enjoy your videos, also like your guitar playing. Covid 19 affect us here in Canada too, most record shops couldnt recover. Sad!!! Any thoughts on record weights? Have you done a video on this? Keep up the good work!!!
I do not own a record weight. Nor have they mentioned them in any of my videos. However, I feel that they may be useful on records that may have a slight warp. But as for affecting the tonality of a record I have no opinion because I have not tried one on my turntable. Thanks for watching and commenting. Peace.
It's heartbreaking how this virus is destroying Mom & Pop shops. Love Bowie's Pin Ups. You're right it's a great cover album. His renditions of the old 60s makes them his own. Can't go wrong finding a Ventures album. Grace Under Pressure? Dude major find. Can't find anything by Rush around here. And that Who comp WOW! Baby Don't Do It (live) was the B-side of Join Together. A jukebox back in my hometown (in a landromat no less) had Join Together and I would play the B-side over and over again. Drove people crazy. Haha. I absolutely love SO by Gabriel, has to be my favorite lp by him. Great stuff Topper. Later man.
Is your head the green one, or the brown/white one or the Willie Nelson mask one. Never found anything interesting about the ventures they were like the sputniks both tried to be the Shadows but failed miserably. You did well my friend. Of all your pick ups Manfred Mann would be the one I would have to play first. Question ..what is Barnes and Noble a solicitors who sell records or a spin off of Noble records. There was a glut of groups similar to Alarm in the middle 80s, Comsat angels, Sound, Zound, but they were all worth seeing live and still worth a listen today.
Barnes and Noble is basically a chain of bookstores that also sells records, CDs, movies and various other odds and ends. Noble records is a single owner record store near Charlotte North Carolina. Yes, that Manfred Mann is very good.
Oddbox I feel your pain, here in New Bern n.c. the locol g.w. got rid of all their records, and I have litterally no place to find lp's at cheep prices. unless I want to pay a high price , so it's mail order for me
Got the same problem where I live. The local record store - out of business. The local estate sale store - out of business. I can do without the records, but what happens to these people’s livelihoods?
I don't have a job and I stay home 99% of my time. Other than doing necessary housework and cleaning, I spend lots of time listening to music. And yes, I listen to everything I show in my videos.
Wow! You found some great stuff! I love that Peter Gabriel album. You always find the best deals.
Thanks for sharing, you’ve exposed me to a lot of new artists that I doubt I would have found on my own.

Used to love Rolling Rock! Love Lone Justice and Maria McKee!!! Amazing totally agree Topper!!!
Blacksburg? I was born in Roanoke but then when I was 2 years old my family moved to Californie. Awesome Barnes & Nobles finds!

Eye Of The Hurricane, one of my favourite albums. Enjoy!
Very nice! I never have any luck at them Goodwill type stores. I still look, just in case. Thanks for telling me about my Pink Floyd. I re-load it
Nice finds, Topper. The Who's Quad is an album that's always trashed. Never understood if that was well-loved or well-hated. Enjoy the newbies.
You did really well at thrifts! I'm finding a lot of my honey holes are dried up now and others are closed... Doing OK for CDs tho. Cheers
Rolling rock was made in my hometown and is my drink of choice It’s funny that I have two goodwills that are like my honey hole that hank Williams is awesome. The Who album would be dynamite to have. Nice stuff
The Alarm is the band that the lead singer just quit at the end of a show and left and the rest of the band had no idea that he was going to do it.
Always great to get a notification that you have a new video posted.
I've been doing my rounds at the local shops to support small business. It really bums me out to see some places shutting down.
Awesome pickups Topper, I collect the Ventures, Swamp had the worst cover art. They had generic covers to save $
China Crisis was a British synt- pop band on there highest begin to middle 80's. "Flount the imperfection" was the 3th. album, after the most famous "Working with fire and steel"
album. I have a small 80's British synthpop obsession. also in my record colletion
Their first two albums were produced by Walter Becker of Steely Dan.
I love your haul videos. And wondering about the journey for the Who album!! I'm interested to!
It's sad about all the small places that haven't been able to survive covid :/ it's been extra rough on so many ppl. I'm glad you're hanging in there tho!

Grace under pressure is a really good album, one of the last ones I listened to often.

Maria McKee (from Lone Justice) also does a great version of Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do" - very much worth checking out.
Love that version! What’s singer!
She's also related to Brian McClean from Love. Cousins I think.
To be avoided at all costs: Her live duet with Bono covering the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting For the Man". Not sure where I heard it, but I'm hoping it never crosses my path again.
Sorry to hear about the Zep lp. It’s a great album.

Some good finds!...that China Crisis album is a dud for me as my least favorite effort from them. They do have other really good ones. 🍺

Got the same problem where I live. The local record store - out of business. The local estate sale store - out of business. I can do without the records, but what happens to these people’s livelihoods?
I got several Womanfred Woman LPs, she’s married to Manfred Mann.
Do you have the Ventures Live in Japan album? It's my favorite of theirs.
Unfortunately, I don’t have Live In Japan... yet! Still on the look out.
Hey man, how do you find the time to listen to all the albums you buy?
I don't have a job and I stay home 99% of my time. Other than doing necessary housework and cleaning, I spend lots of time listening to music. And yes, I listen to everything I show in my videos.
