Good work George - nice fry up - I tried shooting a video trip to a fair yesterday .. it was really rubbish when I played it back ! So double well done❤

In regards to the blue label on CBS that colour was used on soundtracks. So the most common one you'll see about is The Graduate OST on blue. I have some other UK CBS OSTs on blue and even an OST pressed in Israel so the blue wasn't unique to the UK pressings. Cheers Nige

Excellent find re Kind of Blue. I’ve recently picked up a mono press from 1962 for a similarly bargain price.

Kind of blue is one of those records that never gets old. Flamenco sketches relaxes me like no other song. I purchased a N mint kinks village green uk first this week. That’s my record spends for the year gone 😂 quality not quantity.

Nice finds George, not seen a blue CBS label before, so that was interesting..I'm off to a fair in Stratford upon Avon on Monday, fingers xed i may find a few gems..

Yes Miles!!!

What the hell is a travel hater?

Mmm, you definitely need a good breakfast before facing a busy record fair. Some good finds esp. the rare Kind of Blue.

Mystery to Me....one of the best albums of all time. I was a fan since Peter Green started the band.

ill have what you're having ! that breakfast platter looked scrumptious i have never seen a blue CBS label cool.. cheers!

Great Stuff! Love the Iron Maiden Records!!!! Awesome 😊😊🤘🤘

Greatr Record Fair, so nice! 😊

You really have got Kind Of Blue at a bargain price there, those Nimbus copies really go for silly amounts of money, but it is one of the greatest albums of all time. I picked up a copy on Blue vinyl a few years back, that was an RSD limited edition for £15 whilst on holiday in Jersey at a record fair in St Helier. Been in Belper in Derbyshire today and picked up three albums I'm pleased with, and all in really good condition. A Beatles album of their Hamburg set at the Star Club, a Greatest Hits of Level 42 and Too Rye Ay by Dexy's Midnight Runners. It's funny always loved Dexy's but for some reason never got this album on vinyl until today, got it on cassette and CD. Enjoy those records George and have a great Bank Holiday Weekend....

Nice finds George! I was in Chichester last year visiting family and stumbled across the fair that I didn't know was on. I was allowed an hour or so to dig and it was pretty good. cheers Dale

Hey George, that full English looked great. Thanks for the footage. I need to find a copy of that Killing Joke. Cheers.

How do you find time for this channel, with Ukraine needing conctant attention Vlad?

When Peter Green left, I left. I did like Bob Welch though.

I never liked Rumors.

Welsch's 3 tracks on Penguin are sublime. The rest of the album, not so much. The 2 Walker songs seem very out of place.

The moment you mentioned Pet Sounds, your dog appeared on the chair behind you.

Great watch. PUP!

Saw Fleetwood Mac in concert in Nov. 1971. All male English blues band back then, although Christine Perfect (McVie) was a session musician for them and unofficial member of the band at that time. "Oh Well" was one of their big hits during that time and great live. Bob Welsh wrote two of their biggest hits (Hypnotized & Sentimental Lady).

Great Finds! The Peanut Butter Conspiracy album is excellent. Funnily enough, I featured a US copy of it in one of my videos, but you did well to find a UK one. Also have Solar Plexus which is great. Other Nucleus albums are well worth tracking down.

There are lots of label designs I love, but the two ones that always come first to mind are the Polydor label and the black Mercury label with the big white oval on top. I have on Imgur a collage of my favorite record labels that I'd love to share here, but TH-cam doesn't seem to like hyperlinks in comments.

Many people think that Iron Maiden's best era ended with "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" and I agree, but to me, their absolute peak is "Powerslave". Although "Somewhere in Time" and SSOASS are great albums as well, to me they sound like a band that started to run out of steam and tried (successfully) to explore new territories to compensate for that. Like if they had a stock of ideas that ran out with "Powerslave" and had to start looking for new stuff from "Somewhere in Time" on, and it worked fine until the following album. But they truly 100% top shape ended with "Powerslave" in my opinion.

Damn... you've been reading my mail. Hunky Dory and Scary Monsters. Hell, yea. U.K. Subs, yea... I'm geezin'. Peace on earth. Undertones - Positive Touch.

C'mon, you're leaving out the definitive Billy Burnett/Rick Vito era...

Thanks for the shout-out, George - I will have to give the Lloyd Cole album a spin myself now. Seventh Son is near the top of my Maiden favourites and likewise its the last of their albums I really like. BTW, I remember you mentioned the early '70s band Clouds in a video a while back - I picked up their 1971 album titled 'Watercolour Days' recently and that's another I will give a listen to.

Maiden had a number one with Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter, clever marketing by releasing a single just after Christmas with little or no competition. Main reason for their singles success was the multi formats they always released which included some great limited editions. Big fans and collectors would invariably buy all formats hiking up the sales numbers.

Highly Recommend a record shop in Ruislip Manor stacks of Intetesting items.

Another great video George, some fine choices in there, bet it all helped make a fantastic weekend!

in canada the magazine was called " the alternate use for soap " makes even less sense.lately ive been revisiting the silencers & world party. RIP karl wallenger. cheers!

G’day George . Apparently Carl Barnwell from Southern Comfort wrote ‘April Lady’ . He moved to England after 1969 but didn’t get a copyright for it till June 1971.He shopped the song to publishers . Mercury Records commissioned Smile to record the song in April 1969 . The song was credited to Stanley Lucas ( this may well have been a alias of Barnwell) 😎👌🇦🇺

Thank you very much. I would like to comment regarding the contributions and accolades given to Bob Welch. Some believe Bob was the bridge from the bluesy Peter Green time period to the pop sound with Nicks and Buckingham. Some also believe Welch was responsible for saving FM. I respectively disagree regarding both. Danny Kirwan's contributions on the Kiln House, Future Games, and Bare Trees LPs, including the single numbers Dragonfly, Purple Dancer, and Trinity transformed the sound of early Fleetwood Mac. Perhaps the bridge wasn't fully built by Kirwan, but certainly most of it was. Regarding Bob saving FM, let me state this. Bob wasn't around when Peter left. Bob wasn't around when Jeremy quit. Bob wasn't in the studio for half of the songs from the "Future Games" LP. Bob was documented saying he was trying to get Mick to fire Kirwan shortly after joining the band. He was very uncomfortable being around Danny and felt it was messing with his head too much. Bob was the man Danny had an argument with backstage when Kirwan refused to play. Bob finally was rid of Danny and becomes the main musician in the band. Subsequently, Fleetwood Mac bombs with their first LP ( Penguin) post Danny Kirwan. Bob quits a year and a half later. Many early FM fans stopped caring after Danny was sacked. Bob Welch getting credit for saving FM is a travesty and is insulting to a man who was the true shining star post Peter Green.

I love to read the fan comments. The ones that say the Peter Green era was great and the later version sucks. Or those that love the era discussed here and dislike the Buckingham Nicks era. Guys - bands change and develop. Very few bands stay the same (thankfully). I love all the lineups and can appreciate the differences. Another era rarely mentioned is the complete change in the mid 90's when Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett (Bonnie's daughter) joined to keep the band going. Here they went back to the blues era. I think there are very few videos of these live performances. Another sidelight which shows Mick's love of the blues was the side performances of the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band (with Ricky Vito). They are really good and Mick is in his element. Thanks for the video.

let me add a few more firsts. 1.elvis costello-my aim is true and this years model 2. the doors-the doors and strange days 3.jimi hendrix-are you experienced 4.led zeppelin-one and two 5.moody blues-days of future passed 6.pink floyd-piper at the gates of dawn and a saucerful of secrets

The 1969 to 1974 CD box set with extra tracks is great if you only know the Rumours line up. Danny Kirwan released three solo LPS in the seventy's, but they were never commercially successful as he refused to tour in support or promote them. There is also a CD called Ram Jam City which are the demo's of Second Chapter all well worth a listen. I am not sure who owns the publishing rights to Danny's songs, but they should be re-released as a box set with any unreleased songs that maybe in the vaults as a tribute to his talent

Bob's wife Wendy fought for his induction until her death. Hypnotized got heavy air play till the Rumors album came out then the Radio Stations practically panned the non-Rumors line up. Hypnotized and Green Manalishi are two of their best songs and they never get air play. Peter Green era songs were panned too after Rumors. And I think the common denominator with the guitarist problems is Mic Fleetwood.

I’m kinda the opposite and have everything - even the crap ones ! And I’m more likely to listen to the lesser stuff to convince myself it’s not poor! Wish I was more like you 😂 But the Dio era Sabbath album are really good !

Try using a hairdryer on the cocteau, s album heat will soften the glue of the price sticker

Greetings from New Hampshire, yep another Hampshire. Thanks for making this video about a tragically ignored era of Fleetwood Mac. My favorite era of Fleetwood Mac are these ‘Wilderness Years’, the spacey years, the experimental years, with ‘Future Games’ being my all time favorite FM album. Bob Welch was an important piece of all of it, and he not being mentioned at the RnRHoF dog and pony show induction was definitely a travesty, I could not agree with you more on that conclusion. Thanks again for providing this era some timeline history and recommendations to the uninitiated out there. 🎶🎵 My top track from the era: ‘Sands Of Time’. 😎

Brilliant idea for a video! However, you MUST check out the two Dio/ Sabbath albums of the early 80's, they're absolute genius. Otherwise great stuff, and totally agree you with Roxy, I don't even like "Siren", but the first four are masterpieces. And Maiden, after "Somewhere in Time" Other bands: Jethro Tull - up to and including "Stormwatch". After that, a bit too electronic and all that 80's bollocks. Queen - Up to and including "The Game". After that, horrible funk, sterile ballads and over polished rock. And they never got it back. Zeppelin - after "Physical Graffiti", they ran out of ideas. "Presence" sounds like they did it out of some sort of contractual obligation. Really dull, repetitive and forgettable. Rolling Stones - bleeding obvious. After "Exile..." they gradually then rapidly hit the bottom, just became a live act. Judas Priest - in a minority here, but the first four albums, which are magnificent, then after that they lost their progginess. Others: Uriah Heep, Aerosmith (70's only) Genesis, Marillion, Status Quo(up to Quo Live) UFO ( Schenker era genius), Whitesnake, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Feat (Lowell George era), Rush (all pre- Signals are amazing), King Crimson (nothing after "Red"), Deep Purple, Metallica ( "Load" is massively underrated, after that uninspired and repetitive) Scorpions (up to "Love at First Sting") Fairport Convention (Richard Thompson early years). Most of the above floundered when the 80's reared it's synthetic head, and they never recovered. They just faded into specialised taste or became massive tour acts

Always. Just depends what you mean by 'early'.

Most bands get stuck in a rut, fearing to branch out their listeners/fans expectations and/or their own inadequacies.

I agree with your takes. I had all of these records. I still enjoy Bare Trees and Future Games (and the others 70-74). If you took a few songs from each four/five year periods you could argue it's not the same band, which is partly true. I did have the Buckingham Nicks "titty" album....eh. Welch tried a harder edge with the band Paris....eh. Danny Kirwin put out a solo album that sounded (to me) like English pub music....eh. this yank prefers the '67-'74 period, the later stuff too slick, too polished, over produced and pretentious.....leave it to American record producers greed and influences to screw it up. Thanks, appreciated.

Loved your comments on the lost years. Couldn't agree more about Future Games,Bare Trees and Mystery To Me. After Then Play On, these are my favourite albums and I still listen to them regularly. Wonderful memories and music

Interesting discussion, I have many albums in my collection that I could easily whittle down. I’m a big Maiden fan and collector so I can’t be subjective, but I can see how daunting their catalogue can be post 1990.

Tull, Neil Young , Roxy , Uriah Heep, Quo,Slade,Free,Humble Pie,Grand Funk,Sabbath, Zeppelin come straight to mind . Really enjoying your channel George … Thanks for posting

As a ‘record collector’ I think you need to commit to the experience. Back in the old days I found new music through Andy Kershaw, Annie Nightingale and John Peel, but you had to go out on a limb and buy the album in the end so every buying decision you made counted for better or worse, so I like to keep that vibe going now and listen to the record, no streaming. I resort to streaming sometimes when the record is just too expensive for me to get a ‘real’ one, same as buying reissues…I like the thought of having a record that someone once went out and excitedly bought when the album was released.

Rush. I only listen up to Power Windows. I don’t know why really…the nostalgia is strong with early albums? On the other hand, just to be controversial with someone like Neil Young I will defend Landing on water, Trans, Old Ways, Everybody’s Rockin just because I like them and I bought them on release, unlike things like After the Gold Rush.
