The Rock n’Roll left out the best ones which were Be My Baby. a personal fav of Lennon, as well as To Know Her is to Love Her, Angel Baby, another Spector produced anthem.. John had wanted these songs included as that’s where he saw the sales but because of the the bootleg Roots album he was forced by the record company to issue it earlier than scheduled just 5 months after Walls and Bridges rather than waiting 10-12 months.
Hi JJ. Thanks for the extra information about 'Rock 'n' Roll'. I've got 'Angel Baby' on the 'Gimme Some Truth' CD. It's OK. Do you think there will be a box set for 'Rock 'n' Roll'? I'm not sure. It would be interesting to hear more of the Phil Spector sessions. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Another great video Carl, thanks for sharing and providing you insights. I love that Aimee Mann, I named one of my children after her not long after this album came out. Thrift shops, as we call them her in America, are rapidly starting to raise their prices on CDs and other media - sometimes as much as $4 a disc (about 3 GBP). Looking forward to your next video.
Hi William. Thanks for the kind words. Whenever I post a video, I always wonder if anybody will be interested. That's a lovely story about choosing the name for your daughter. Most charity shops here are either stopping stocking physical media or practically giving it away. Cheers.
Great pick-ups you've got their for the price Carl, you can't go wrong on those. I did not know those John Lennon stories you told, i'm surprised I never heard them before. I like that record. Big fan of Jimmy Smith and the B-3 organ. I've got several of his stuff but not The Cat. I have that Chuck Berry CD and it never gets old. UFO and Jackson Browne are also great for the collection. Can't wait to see what else you got. See ya next time.
Hi Tom. The John Lennon stories about his mother were new to me too. I found them on the official John Lennon website. There are excellent articles about all of his albums there. There must be loads of material for a 'Rock 'n' Roll' boxset ... That Jimmy Smith album is magical. The title track is guaranteed to get you dancing ... You can't go wrong with Chuck Berry ... I'll be working my way through the latest CD finds over the next few days. All the best.
A great selection of albums, genres and artists. I particularly Like Lennon's Rock n Roll album, for me that was the album that finally showcased what a great vocalist he was. His harmonies with Paul on the Beatles albums were awesome, but this really brought out his voice. I guess it was the material he was performing, the songs that inspired him in the first place, and I can imagine it brought the memories flooding back to him from his days as a Quarryman..
Thanks for your comment. I've always thought that Lennon's vocals on 'Stand By Me' was one of his best. I agree with you about the material on 'Rock 'n' Roll' too. The pressure was off having to write the songs, and these covers were close to his heart. It must surely have made him feel nostalgic for the old days.
More great finds Carl - love that Aimee Mann album - she's a terrific artist. UFO's Stranger of course classic fantastic live album. Lots of great stuff there.
@@carltweed942 thanks Carl. Glad you liked that one. Definitely one of her best imho. Maybe her best. She has an excellent live cd dvd collection if you enjoy live albums.
Hi Carl- nice CD pickups, best score imo Bachelor #2 disc, one of her best albums. I’m a big Aimee Man fan also really like her husband Michael Penn’s output and Jon Brion. Cheers! Matt
Hi Matt. I really liked 'Bachelor No. 2'. I also picked up 'Lost In Space', but I haven't got round to listening to it yet. I'm a big fan of Jon Brion. Elsewhere in the comments, JT has also pointed me in the direction of Michael Penn. I'll be giving him a listen for the first time very soon. Thanks for watching.
Nice pick ups Carl. I’ve had the Lennon on vinyl for a long time, I find it very Lennon and enjoyable. I do enjoy Gorillaz and have a few of theirs on vinyl. I haven’t heard Leo for ages. Mike
Hi Mike. I wonder if we'll eventually get a boxset for 'Rock 'n' Roll' ... I can't get 'Clint Eastwood' and '19-2000' out of my head ... There was a brilliant compilation called 'Zigzag: 20 Junkshop Soft Rock Singles' which came out at least a decade ago. It included Leo Sayer's 'Why Is Everybody Going Home', which quickly became a favourite of mine. So I was really pleased to find his first album. I also picked up his second album 'Just A Boy' at the same time. All the best.
Stand By Me was a hit over here as well ! Aimee Mann's 3rd is excellent. Gorillaz B Sides looks interesting. Im a Jimmy Smith and Kenny Burrell fan for life 😊
Hi JT. Aimee Mann is definitely a class act. I picked up another of her CDs in the same charity shop ... I've got two or three Jimmy Smith CDs, and odd tracks on comps. I thought 'The Cat' was excellent danceable jazz. Cheers.
I have that John Lennon LP. The first Genesis record has been released so many time! I have played it a few times but never really got into it. I shoudl try again. I am not sure I knew that Walter Becker released solo records. Nice finds.
Hi Brian. Anthony Phillips mentioned in a recent interview that there is a new mix of 'From Genesis To Revelation'. It's not been officially announced yet, but the assumption is that it will be on Cherry Red's progressive rock label Esoteric. I'm pretty sure this will be the definitive version - after years of re-issues not endorsed by the band. I'll be curious to hear it. Cheers!
There's not a lot of love for that John Lennon title. I think there are some great tracks, and his vocal performance on "Stand By Me" alone is worth the cost. Chuck Berry is solid gold all the way through. There are some great pick-ups as usual. Cheers, Carl
Hi Mark. I'd sooner listen to Lennon doing rock 'n' roll covers with obvious love and respect, as opposed to some of his throwaway original songs. 'Stand By Me' vocally is out of this world. I've actually got a bit of a backlog on charity shop CD finds which I've not yet had a chance to listen to. Best wishes from the UK.
You seem to find some interesting CDs in charity shops Carl, you must have to wade through tons of Susan Boyle, Charlotte Church and Pan Pipe discs, or us that just me. I've subscribed, so I will be looking forward to your new discoveries. Get them while you can!
When I find Susan Boyle CDs, I often put them at the front so it looks like that's all they are selling! It doesn't look like the supply is drying up yet. The only problem I'm finding is some charity shops no longer selling CDs. A charity shop I liked said last week that they are no longer taking donations for CDs because they can't recycle them. Thanks a lot for subscribing.
@@carltweed942 Yes, I've noticed similar in the few I frequent. It doesn't help when you have Oxfam syphoning of the rarer discs and selling them for mint discogs prices online. I would have thought getting folks in stores would be encouraged if there were better stock.
@@keitholiver1299 Oxfam tends to over-price its CDs - especially in its specialist shops selling books and media. I do best with smaller charities in market towns where you very rarely see CDs for more than a pound.
Good finds there Carl. Some quite or entirely unknown to me. Gorillaz D Sides is good’n. Why were some record companies so in love with their logo? I’m not more likely to buy a Genesis CD just because there’s a giant London logo on it am I? Jackson Brown. Several of entries in my competition features him because… he is of Norwegian descent 😊 Enjoy your great haul Carl 🤩
Hi Morten. Gorillaz are great. I keep singing '19-2000' to myself! That track reminds me a bit of The Go! Team ... There are actually quite a few record labels where I will buy anything they put out; so sometimes it helps me if the logo is big. Cheers. P.S. Do you know the Norwegian band I Was A King? If you don't, check out the TH-cam video for 'Frozen Disease'. A couple of the band have also recorded as The No Ones with Peter Buck.
@@carltweed942 No, I haven’t heard of them. I’m not a very good Scandinavian VC’er as my personality in many cases keeps me, or kept me away from Norwegian bands in particular. I got those Gorillaz sides on vinyl back at some RSD in… 2022? I was very pleased. Maybe you should give my contest a try, being so good at finding Norwegian artists (who are now, Americans, brits, Canadians etc). Keep up the great videos Carl 😊
@@MortenAastad I just uploaded I Was A King's new single to my Power Pop Shakers playlist. Some other Norwegian power pop bands I love - American Suitcase, Beezewax, The Dahlmanns, the Yum Yums.
hey carl. always interesting to see what you’re picking up. appreciate the work you put into your capsule reviews. i know i say that all the time. and then ya end things by mentioning ya picked up another giant haul for nothing. man wish the thrift stores in states were like that.
Hi Steve. Thanks for all your positive feedback. I did have a few months when it was getting hard to find stuff, but there's one charity shop at the moment that I go to every week and they seem to have a never-ending supply of 3 CDs for a pound. JT and Alan Rosenberg, for example, do well in the thrift stores.Take care, Carl
@@carltweed942 yeh i have luck in them here and there but not on any consistent level. i did just hit a jackpot with vinyl surprisingly cause i never ever find vinyl worthy in thrift stores. it’s always just junk.
Damon is pretty much an adaptable musical genius certainly compared to Oasis..... You continue to find some diverse cool stuff Carl. What you said about the Beatles may well have been true too I'm sure they'd have mellowed and sorted out their differences. I didn't know Lennon's mother was a Julia i knew his first wife was. Hope you are having a good summer. Martin.
Hi Martin. I'm finding so many quality CDs at the moment. The Beatles track 'Julia' from the White Album is about John's mother. Looking forward to seeing your next video. You've been quiet recently. All the best.
