The Daydrean Nation is a SY thats greatly underrappreciated in the VC

You did get my hopes up with your last reply about the possibilities of finding Dead Kennedys for $3.99, so I'm still looking! And if I can find that for that price, I'll have faith I can find anything (like Sonic Youth, Mother Love Bone and maybe even Bad Brains at 5 for $1. Is that pushing it a bit? I am so happy to see that someone considers Sowing the Seeds of Love so great and I agree, I think it's an amazing album. Yes, what a very successful 2024, some great pickups. Two years ago, I made a resolution that I would find and pick up more Grateful Dead, and it just happened all that year without me even having to try very hard. That was when I found the copy of Europe '72 for a quarter. So, this year, my resolution is going to be More Punk! Now I'm just going to sit back and watch it happen!

"....trying to hold it back this year...." lol Good luck with that Steve. Lots of good records. I didn't know the Kennedys didn't like that orange album cover - I always thought it was much better than the black one. Incredible that you found that Cure album still in shrink. Best wishes for 2025 - don't hold back!

You have kept quiet about your Osmonds sing Metallica box set. Or your original Spice girls first lp. Time you came out the closet and admitted you are the worlds biggest Boney m collector. You have the true spirit of someone who only buys from the front of the shop and your disregard for singles is pathetic. We know all about your selection hardly original.

Fantastic finds! 2024 was a great year! Will 2025 be more grails? Let’s hope so!

Hey Steve! Ah yes, the eternal question, "Do I need it? And even though you answer yourself with "Probably not." There it is. Been there my friend! Cheers!

Wow! Steve some real beauties in there. Zamrock classic. Never even heard that one. The Sonic Youth’s DN is one of my all time favorite. I still remember hearing Teenage Riot for the first time. I can’t tell you how much those words meant to me at the time. Makes me emotional to this day. You have the true spirit of a music lover. Cheers. Shawn.

Tons of great stuff from the year! Don’t worry you have all year to do better no need to start now 😂

Thrifted an original Disintegration when I got back into vinyl collecting...not in perfect condition but definitely very playable. Not sure if I have ever seen one since. Great pickups Steve, the Zamrock collection must be pretty impressive by now. Here's to more finds in 2025

Really nice pickups, especially Sonic Youth and Angry Samoans. Great job, Steve!

Back From Samoa is great.

Hi Steve. Fantastic tag response! You brought out the big guns - Betty Davis, Marvin, War, and Eddie Floyd. I don’t know the Neil Francis record or that Reach Out! album. I’ll check those out on line. I like that you’ve thrown in some more obscure choices. The Dyke & The Blazers record doesn’t come up in the VC too often. Thy was a really cool shout. And you can’t beat Cold Sweat! JB is definitely made for the jukebox. Love it! Cheers. John

Awesome video Steve! I need to get that Dead Kennedys record. Great album. Totally forgot about The Db's. Need to get that in my collection.

My best pickup is The Original Carter Family/"More Golden Gems(RCA Camden 1997 reissue).."Worried Man Blues" is on there..Everyone from Van Morrison to the Stanley Brothers to Johnny Cash has covered it... And I got a cool book/"Future Sounds"/ sub-titled" The Story of Electronic Music from Stockhausen.. To Skrillex"..yay!! Are the Samoans still angry?.....cheers

Some great additions Steve!

Man, these are all epic finds.OG Sonic Youth is almost impossible to find. I bought Splinter very early on, and I am now stunned by the price it goes for!

I’m delighted with your MOFI Atom Heart Mother too.

I was surprised by how good you are at singing harmonies. 🙃I love that Time album; they were stylish too.Perfect for a Sunday morning. Sam Cook was a really talented guy. He could sing anything and make it sound great. And you can't have a tag without James Brown! I'm going to jump on this one.

Yes I have read the review of Splinter by Gary Newman by Julian Cope and now I shall try it.........

Glad you found all those, Professor - I doubt I would have spent what you probably spent on them, even the Gerry Rafferty, which you know is my all time favorite album, but hey, I get it...heh heh...

Hello. Bette David Ive heard but not Pazant brothers, so I shall try them. What is skunk juice?

I Want You has got to be one of the sexiest songs ever. I love how his voice just floats on that song. The Soul Searchers album is good. I haven't picked that one up yet. The Delfonics are great! Great tag!

Hello Steve; The 2025 Soul & Funk vinyl tag, the funky Steve edition. Starting with Betty ( Ms Miles ) Davis, Marvin gettin' that sexual feelin' Sam & the Stirrers, Johnnie Taylor ( who's makin' love to the old lady ) Dyke looks like he lost his Blazer, Skunk Juicin' with the Pazants, Eddie the Floyd Choppin' on Wood. Some great soul/ funkin' sounds. JB feeling the groove with some Cold Sweat. Take care, Tina & Pat!~

Very entertaining video, Steve.... Sunday morning album..Aretha Franklin../I Never Loved A Man the Way I loved you Album that has a horn section.. Ray Charles at Newport Song that samples another song...MC Hammer samples Rick James "Superfreak" Modern soul record....Any album by Richard "Dimples" Fields

Hey Steve. Great video! Betty Davis and Marvin are a killer Saturday night. James Brown! Dropping my take on this tag tomorrow. Cheers

Thanks for making these videos

I'm into Soul and R&B. The Funk I never thought much of. Sure they had the odd good tune but all in all I wasn't a fan Steve...... In Britain they have a genre they call Northern Soul and some of those records are worth quite a bit of money. I've a lot of 45s from that era.... I don't have Watermelon Man by Hancock I got it by Buddy Guy and Albert King.... For me the last great black music tune was by The Time, "Jungle Love". That tune ought to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. It's a MONSTER.... Back in the R&B days I tore the crotch out of all kinds of dress pants doing the splitz it wasn't funny. I remember my Mum sewing them up one time talking on the phone to a girlfriend and laughing at me spitting my pants all the time. Ahh the Spinners, Bobby Smith their lead singer made that band. And last but not least James Brown. I've some history with that Man. LOL..... Later Gator.....

Betty Davis, excellent choice for Saturday night! Wooohooo Steve the preacher, can I get an Amen? A car chase at 10 mph....who was chasing him, a turtle. Ice Cream Castle is a great album, one that I thought would be easy to find, but I haven't found one yet. Now, Skunk Juice. You know that with an album name like that, it's gonna be dirty funk. I am just like you when talking about those soulful harmonic bands, I hated them growing up, I love them now. And you could obviously be one of The Delfonics, in fact, I bet you were in a previous life. Great response!

Low Rider is a terrific song that I have always loved. I considered doing this, but I might be tagged-out!

I need Knock On Wood by Eddie Floyd. I’m not going anywhere near Bette Davis.

Hey Steve. Great response, I’m really struggling with this year’s tag, or is it next year’s tag? I take it you’re a fan of Zam rock? I don’t have any Partridge Family. I am going to attempt a response soon though, even if I struggle with some of the questions. Beatles or Stones? Sheesh. Cheers.

Skunk juice great name for an album 😊. Low Rider love that song, memories of Cheech and Chong. Well done 👍.

My goodness, the Orange Dead Kennedys pressing!!!! I’m not a big fan of heavy metal, but I do love that Ozzy title. Randy Rhodes was an amazing guitarist. Gorgeous sunrise. I really like the dB’s. Cool Janitors drop.

Steve, killer soul tag. Cool seeing you pull out the skunk juice. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman

🤙dBs & DKs and hey some DD at the zoo

I like how you went fire & brimstone for the Sunday album. Some great records to look into.

6 inch pianist sounds about average. I've built my soul collection up to about 5 ft. after selling all my soul and reggae a few years back. The good stuff!!

pink floyd has no seat at the table with the mighty rolling stones. who gives a damn about some stupid bag of weed on the ground. Moronic question

Happy New Year Steve! Zoo at night sounds cool. I got a Boris album not long ago - live at Third Man. Cool dBs record! The Janitors! Maybe not the best band name, lol. Thanks for showing the records!

Best Ozzy Ablum hands down.. The Guitar work on crazy train, is worth the price of admission, Randy was way ahead of his time.. Gone To Soon as they say..

I have been listening to songs Joy Division/New Dawn Fades Kate Bush/ Sexual healing ( yes its the Marvin Gaye song/ and yes its freakin 'awesome)You can TH-cam it Robert Johnson...Stop Breakin' Down blues Eye Protection/Take her where the boys are

Wow thanks so much Steve for the kind words and second shout out, that warmed our postpunky hearts and means a lot! We had already connected with MFidelity but will be checking out MyVinylAttic as well. We really appreciate the wonderful response we've gotten to our humble little channel, and having the Steve stamp of approval is amazing. Boris, yeah they are a tough listen and we mostly don't get on with them too well. However, we have one album by them, called Attention Please. It's their shoegaze/dreampop/noise album, totally different and worth a listen. They also have an album called New Album and that's more dreamy as well. Will check out that Cosmonauts album, sounded good. Blizzard of Oz was my first cassette received as a Christmas present along with my first cassette walkman, brings back memories for sure! Cheers Steve

Hi Steve, that Dead Kennedys looks pristine, nice score! The DBs are great, very influential to bands like REM, the Feelies and others, Peter Holsapple played with REM on their Green album. The Janitors sounded cool. Thanks for sharing your finds!

nice pickups, DK is a great record, cheers!

What a beautiful sunrise! Heavy DKs! Congratulations! Blizzard of Oz was my first and only Ozzy album. I acquired it when I was 13 years old. Still my favorite Ozzy record. DB’s sound really cool! Gotta love that Edie Brickell! Great shares, Steve!

Happy New Year, Steve! Great Santana grab. I’m listening to your video on my IPhone ear buds 😂. I love them! You’re going to really enjoy them! I gotta check out that Cosmic Sounds album! Nice VCLT from Mark.

I just went hundreds of dollars in future debt watching this video. It all sounds great, Steve! Congratulations on all the amazing music.

Loved it! I forgot about the db's! Added to my spotify list. Ozzy! Many musicians and fan's minds were BLOWN when they first heard Blizzard. I'm trying to remember the musician's name but can't, anyway, he got the album and played it on repeat until the vinyl wore out. There is a lot of context behind the Blizzard album to unpack for those who are/were interested. Bob Daisley, bass, who wrote many lyrics and melodies for Ozzy over the decades, approached dark subjects from a questioning perspective or would often build in a positive twist. What I mean is, the songs on dark subjects are not a celebration and don't go so far down the rabbit hole that there is no way back, if that makes sense? Probably why Ozzy's sound has a pop-hard edge sound that is accessible to more listeners. Another commenter here was right about the original intent. As the band made up of Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, and Rhoades began to form, they were recruited by $haron to be in a band called "Blizzard of Ozz". At the last second, without the knowledge of the other 3 members, $haron made the decision to pull the rug out from under the band. The album released, and Bob held it in his hands for the first time reading in shock. They were both let go not long after Diary was released. Another "dirty trick" if you will, look at the back cover, you'll see Tommy Aldridge and bassist Rudy Sarzo live in concert. They replaced the original back cover removing the original members who are on the album! Collector's like to have both pressings. I recommend audiobooks "For Facts Sake" by Bob Daisley, "I Am Ozzy" and "Off the Rails - Aboard the Crazy Train" by Rudy Sarzo. What's with the harsh comments from random people? I can't believe the inconsiderate nerve and lack of awareness people have to leave a negative, unconstructive hit-and-run comments. You're an important part of the music community and we visit your channel because we enjoy your approach to making videos, like we're friends catching up. You've handled those comments brilliantly, I just wanted to show my support. Cheers ~Corey

Hi Steve. I fully agree with you on artists political opinions.Who cares what their views are, i'm interested in music. Same thing with their personal lives, would i hang out with junkies or alcoholics? No! But will i listen to their music? Yes i will. Pasi
