Hey Mr. Pilton. Seeing Mike and his band is on my bucket list (how I hate that term). I’ll be planning my next trip to the UK around their concert schedule. Be so great to get others in the VC to join me. Great finds by the way. Cheers.
That Roky Erickson album is indeed fantastic. Great score. Monkey Gone To Heaven 12” was my first Pixies record I bought back in the day. The non album tracks are fabulous. Like me some Link Wray too. Cheers mate
Hey Mika, yeah this Link Wray is great, but they shouldn’t have mucked about with the production. I was trying to think what this Rocky Erickson sounds like, Maybye Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers meets The Flaming Groovies? Yeah those b-sides on The Pixies are great, not as good as ‘Into The White’ the B-side on ‘Here Comes Your Man’ though. That’s a classic!
To be honest it wasn’t the thumping I was fearing it was the wet willie in the ear action, and the wrist burns on the willie (sorry back in Portsmouth for a moment there!), but luckily I had the protection of local celeb, the Piltster. Thanks so much for coming along Harris and absolutely brilliant you stayed for the whole set (an act above and beyond!). Hope the other ‘alve didn’t deliver too much grief? I’ve shown the boys your video and they loved it. Thanks again for the support, protection and cultural integration you were able to help me with 😂 Let’s do Reading with the Butty boy. Seriously, if you want to, I don’t mind driving. Mike
Hey, no worries Mike, really enjoyed it! I was only joking , I didn’t get in too much trouble! 😊 Yeah Nick mentioned something about a record fair I thought it was Jan, but looks like end of November, barring any last minute emergencies I’d be up for that, message me on billing175@gmail dot com and we can chat. Let me know when you’ve seen this message & I’ll delete it, don’t want the robots having a field day with my email 😃
I have that Roky on Cd.. I love it , and found it thrifting, years ago ! Ohh my my.. Pixies 12" .. Wow ! 😊 The first Robert Palmer is so good, although.. I like everything he ever did, pretty much.
Ha,ha.Well that’s lovely!I think I’ve been doing this 3 years this weekend, so it’s been a slow crawl, but always nice when people recommend the channel! Thanks so much! 😊
Good heavens…the charity shops in the UK just blow my mind! Y’all find the best stuff!! Hypercolors🤣🤣There’s something I haven’t thought about in a hot minute!
Hey Bea! This is a specialist vinyl charity shop, so I think they get the pick of whatever has made the central warehouse after a house clearance, donation etc. The prices are decent normally about 20% under Discogs median..also England has hundreds of small Charity shops on the high street so it gives you more of a fighting chance of finding something. From what I’ve viewed I feel America’s vinyl culture is slightly more competitive, these out of town places seem to get ransacked day 1 if there’s anything good! Hope you & Dave are well btw ! 😃
@@Harrispilton22 Ahhhh! That makes sense why it would have so much goodness then! And I think y’all seem to have more new wave and dance music in general, of which I am very envious! Our charity shops are dependably full of Longines Symphony…and If you’re ever looking for gospel singing or country, I can hook you up 6 ways to Sunday! Lol! Hope you are doing well! Dave says hello, too! He’s loving posting those shorts.🤣
I bought my first 12" single the other day Harris. I got time after time by Cyndi Lawper. Great video as always some great finds. I had a colour changing t shirt 😂
Cool that you met up with Mike! Ive been to Portsmouth a few times. DJed there twice for a buddy. Lots of tales from those gigs! Dont think Ive been to Soufhampton. I did play in Eastbourne once. I think that was near Brighton. Cheers!
Wow! Yeah Southampton & Portsmouth have been involved in a 50 year civil war., but Pompey had always had a better nightlife, Southampton didnt spring into life until UK Garage & a certain local legend Craig David!. Brighton was legendary in the 90's it was house central. Eastbourne always a good night & the legendary Sterns was down the road in Worthing, which for a year out did the hacienda! Great to heat jason, im fascinated by 90's sout coast club culture.
I sure hope Mike set you up with a VIP pass, backstage access with free fish and chips and up front seating. Roky Erickson in the 80s is great especially the lyrics. That is where you can really see what was going on in his mind. Very morbid but done in such a fun way. The 12 inch singles keep rolling in So you can swallow the contents of a glow stick, I was unaware of that. This sounds like a Tik Tok challenge to me. Always a pleasure Harris
Please don’t swallow the contents of your glowstick Steve..it leads to severe disappointment..& a night in A&E. Yeah Mikes a great chap, really enjoyed his set. That Rocky Erikson stunned me I thought it would be a total drug addled mess..in fact it sounds like the Flaming Groovies meets early Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.Marvellous stuff! Thanks as ever Steve 😊
Hi Paris - I have the Killing Joke & New Order singles. Everything's Gone Green is my favourite 12" of the three mentioned with Bernies unexpected " WHOO ! " being the highlight !
Hey David, my theory is ‘Everything’s Gone Green’ invented indie dance for better or worse, but I appreciate why Blue Monday gets the headlines, all three singles are pretty remarkable. I was reading that Ian Curtis kept pushing Kraftwerk on the band saying ‘Listen To this’ They now think he was trying to show them the way forward after he died (I think we can assume IC knew he wasn’t long for this world) Both our teams holding steady mate. It’s going to be a bun fight for those playoff places!
I wish our charity/Op shops would do what your Oxfam does by putting all the records in the one place. It is VERY rare to find something decent in an Oppie over here......I do recall the Hypercolor shirts - never owned one, though - Reebok trainers were a big thing in the 80s too, and used to cost a fortune. 😀Love the description of that Beatles album......🤣Nice to know PC31 is a real person. Cheers from Oz. John D
Hey John. Good to hear from you. We’ve probably got geography & population on our side too.50 million people squashed in a tiny island & every city has about 40 Charity shops, it makes it easier to find something, but yeah having a specialist vinyl Charity shop is fairly unique & I think they get prioritised when it comes to stuff donated. I remember buying the first Reebok Classics in about 85? They were grey & very expensive , popular with the hooligan element for a while! Cheers John!
How did I miss this one? Good to see you again Harris. An excellent three minute intro on Kinked Alive. I just subscribed to their website and I thanked you in the comment that I left. As far as your new finds/purchases. They were all interesting once again. I love that Robert Palmer song. Every Kinda People. Did you ever listen to 'Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley'? A good album. I am trying to make out the cover art on the This Heat Deceit album cover. It looks like a face. I will surely check it out. >< Is that Link Wray a straight up rockabilly album? Lastly. That is the best Roky album. He had quite a vision when it came to his music and songwriting. He kind of reminded me of Syd Barrett. But their music was completely different. Thank you Harris. Always the best catching up with you~ Rob/Boston
Hey Rob! To be honest my knowledge of Robert Palmer is minimal, until his MTV breakout era! But this 12” has the 1978 original of ‘Every Kind Of People’ very Marvin Gaye sounding Yes that This Heat is a face, it’s quite a tricky one to get into, almost impossible to describe. kind of deranged Cold War soundtrack! Mike’s band are great, really talented, did an awesome version ‘Stop Your Sobbing’ That Rocky Erikson alp um is great Cheap Trick meets The Flaming Groovies, not what I was expecting at all, I thought it would be like Skip Spence’s ‘Oar’ Thanks as ever Rob!
Great pick with the Killing Joke single. Whats this For? was my intro to Killing Joke. Classic album. Good variety in there. I remember the Yeke Yeke. Would like to hear the Hardfloor remix. Dont see Pixies 12s that often! Palmer is underared a bit. Has some great tracks. The This Heat sounds lime it might be Punk? Experimental punk or post punk?
I once made the fatal mistake of wrongly calling a Mackem a Geordie. The bloke from Sunderland wanted to throttle me! Luckily he is a good friend and let me off the hook. haha. Brilliant finds! Killing Joke, New Order 12" and Robert Palmer. The other albums look really interesting too! I find Oxfam Music and its Bookshops a bit on the high side for a charity find although they do have some fab stuff there. Great video.
Hi RM. Yes, they can get very sensitive about that! The Link Wray album is great..This Heat is almost impossible to describe...very odd but thrilled to own it!😊
I definitely need to hear that Roky Erickson record after hearing you hype it up! His solo stuff is a bit underappreciated, I think. I always loved that song "It's a Cold Night For Alligators." I found a bunch of Pixies 12"s at a record fair a few years ago. I got the two you showed and Veloria and Dig For Fire. They had great b-sides (as well as the great a-sides). I love the early Link Wray, as well as the totally different albums he made in the early 70s (Beans and Fatback and self-titled.) I'd love to see Mike's band, but I'm a long way from Portsmouth and Southampton, so thanks for the review of the gig. You're right, Mike is a lovely chap. I just discovered a street near where I live called Bellendean.
Hey Arturo, yes that Rocky Erikson is somewhere between Cheap Trick, early Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers & The Flaming Groovies, it has fantastic production. Yes that Link Wray album is awesome, just fantastic instrumentals, Definitely mastered a bit hot though! Ha, ha Bellendean! Cheers arturo!
@@Harrispilton22 I'm going to start using "bellendean" as an adjective, as in "That movie was very bellendean," or "That work meeting was very bellendean."
Hi Harris. Roky Erickson and the Aliens was a good find. I've got a couple of tracks on comps but never seen this album ... Stereo panned mono? I've heard of electronically reprocessed for stereo, which I avoid like the plague. As a general rule, mono is best prior to 67. These days the obsession is with remixing classic records for no other reason than to get more money out of the superfans ... This Heat 'Deceit'!!! An amazing Oxfam find. I can still remember first hearing them in session on John Peel.
Hi Carl, those reissues done in the early seventies are Notorious for being Messed about with.(I’m sure you’re well aware!) I’ve got a great ‘Them’ comp that’s a right dogs breakfast! That This Heat wasn’t cheap,,but was still a bargain. The best is that Link Wray, love those little instrumentals. I’m Branded sounds like the sort of thing Mudhoney would stick on a b-side. Thanks for watching Carl, hope all is well! 😊
What's this for is IMHO the absolute best Killing Joke song. Had no idea it existed on 12". I'll be looking for that, I love all This Heat albums and the Lifetones one so much I even covered htem on my first record. Lovely pick!
Hey Stunty, I couldn’t believe it when I saw that This Heat record in the racks of my Charity shop....£39.99! , which is almost the most I have paid for a record..but that’s a really good price, normally £60.00-£80.00.That Killing Joke is a 10”..but sounds absolutely fantastic, the sun on the flip is pretty decent too. Cheers Stunty!
Hey Ritchie, I was expecting a drug addled mess.. it sounds more like The Flaming Groovies, meets early Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Bass player from Creedence Clearwayer Revival produced it, guitar sounds great. Yeah stereo panned mono is shite..hope the Jazz Bums never get confronted with it...that could be a long video.
Hey Harris, I've had my sights set on those Pixies 12s for awhile, not scored them yet tho. Did not know that it's a different recording of Gigantic, good to know! And I'm intrigued by that This Heat album. Never heard of it but sounds interesting.
Hi Ian, yeah Gigantic is only slightly different, but I find the album version far superior. ‘Here Comes Your Man’ is my favourite as it’s got Kim Deals ‘Into The White’ on the flip. Top 5 Pixies tune ever imo. This Heat is simply impossible to describe. Prog Post Punk with Tape Loops?
Hey Shaun, those t-shirts were boss back in the day! I still can’t believe I spent £120.00 on a pair of Travel Fox trainers, I think Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays used to wear them..that’s about £250.00 in today’s money..they were rubbish too!
I really do need to pay a visit to Boohoo! Bloody hell Deceit was a good find for Oxfam, you can find excellent stuff in there but I'd never expect to see that.
Ha,ha Boo Hoo is an experience! You never quite know what your going to find. Yeah as it’s an Oxfam Music in the City Centre, my theory is they get a lot of the good stuff funnelled to them, as they probably have to justify their existence, but yes vipers rare record that Dan!
Hi Brian, yeah that Killing Joke was £6.00 at the Charity shop, which is about right. Sounds fantastic though! Yeah hopefully Mike might do a world tour.
I own Gigantic; I've been on the hunt for Monkey Gone To Heaven for a while. Nice find, there. I know exactly what you mean concerning the processing of the old mono pressings.
Ha, whenever I see a repress that came out in the 70’s that has a load of technical nonsense on the back saying how they’ve made the record sound better..that’s always a red flag!
Hey Cheers Mike, yeah it’s not exactly the hood around here! 😂 The biggest scandal we had here is when I went through Waitrose ten items or less queue with eleven items!
Oh for a local Oxfam with This Heat LPs! Very nice. They were kinda sorta the missing piece linking the Canterbury scene and post-punk, via Charles Heyward. Wasn't it a micro-genre called Rock In Opposition back there for a bit at the end of the '70s? I dunno. Either way, "Deceit" is a cracking album! D
Yes, it’s a specialist Oxfam Vinyl Store in Southampton, so I get the feeling a lot of premium stuff gets fed into them . This was £39.99 which is a lot for me, but I’ve looked for it for 30 years, & that’s a decent price. It’s indescribable, but I think the U.K. equivalent of Locust Abortion Technician wasn’t bad!
@@Harrispilton22 They did a big digital/CD boxset reissue about 15 or 20 years back called "Out Of Cold Storage", with all the studio stuff in it...but I don't see original vinyl out and about that much. Definitely agree that it's got some of that disturbing, cut-up "sound collage" thing going on, just like Locust does. D
Hi, i`ve been buying records since 1979 and back in the mid 1980`s onwards i started buying a lot of House , Techno and Balearic 12" singles. Here are a couple of tunes you might or might not already know that i think could be played in many different types of DJ sets even a Balearic set. None of these tunes are classed as strictly Balearic but any tune can be played in a Balearic set if it has the right sound and feel. DIGITAL JUSTICE - THEME FROM IT`S ALL GONE PEAR SHAPED. JASPER VAN`T HOF - HOOMBA HOOMBA. The original 15 minute album mix. VOICE OF AFRICA - HOOMBA HOOMBA. This is a cover version of the Jasper Van`t Hof track. The Voice Of Africa version to purchase is the original instrumental 12" and not the later released 12" featuring a female vocal that completely ruins the original instrumental. SABRES OF PARADISE - SMOKEBELCH 2- DAVID HOLMES ENTRY and EXIT mixes. MONSOON - EVER SO LONELY. 12" mix. Shelia Chandra is the vocalist. Cheers.
Hello mate. I’ll check those out! Cheers. I’ve actually got the 12” of Smokebelch...in fact I’ve shown it! I love a good old Balearic 12” Appreciate those suggestions, look,forward to giving this a listen tomorrow afternoon! ❤
I always thought the Kinks red jackets and white ruffles was a great look, though not one I’d try in this town on a Saturday night. 80s Roky is brilliant, though pretty different from the 13th Floor Elevators. £10 is a fantastic deal. Have never seen an Oxfam specialist music shop - sounds good.
Yes I bought it off Richard Warwick who has a channel on the VC. He sets up at the record fair & every penny he makes goes to charity, fantastic bloke. That Rocky Erikson had sat with him for months, so I had to go for it. Yes Oxfam Music in Southampton is great. They price high enough to dissuade the dealers, but about 20% under Discogs median. Like all Charity shops it’s all about being there at the right time.
Hi 👋 Paris Hilton , Oops ! sorry i meant Harris Pilton. 😜 Only joking. I like Killing Joke and New Order, i saw New Order in 1983 / 84 here in NZ. They were late on stage i remember , everyone including me were getting restless. Apparently there was some conflict between band members. 😕 I like Robert Palmer, and that song Every kind of People , it did come out in 1978. I was 18 years young that year. In 1979 he put out a cracking song called Bad case of loving You. I loved 1970s music , I was in my teens and i was into
Hey Carl, seems like we have a lot in common music wise. My loves have always been soul/disco/punk & electronic. In fact I pretty much love everything apart from metal..don’t know why? Wow you’ve seen some incredible bands at there peak..although New Order can be a lottery live, thanks again Carl 😊
That roky ericson is a great album. Ive seen the vinyl few different times and the price is through the roof. As much as i would love to have roky ericson on vinyl they've got me priced out of the market. That said I think roky ericson's solo stuff is so much better then his stuff with 13th floor elevators.
No way !! You met up with Mr. PC31 .. I did know your cities are arch enemies in football. Don't hold it against me, I am a fan of Liverpool Football Club ! I wish I was their with you, Harris.. I might have broke my sobriety of 33 years ! Just kidding, no worries, I won't go off the deep end ever again ! Hehe😊
Hey JT. a lot of football clubs in England have pretty intense rivalries. Southampton V Portsmouth is up there with the worst. Liverpool bought allSouthamptons players about 7 years ago..so I’m a Liverpool fan by proxy! 😆
Yeke yeke that's a great remix banger. My theory behind odd records in Ibiza here goes....... at 3am drugs obviously but DJs came back to UK bought all the cool tunes then early 90s with vinyl dying all the record companies whacked out formats 12"s included in a vain attempt to get top 40 hits especially by old has-beens to plug their forthcoming albums hence DJs grabbed whatever they could whilst home (true some had great remixes on them but some 99p ones were stinkers. I worked in a chart shop so we buzzed through some tat to get freebies forgive me now ok...... I think maybe PC31 has his lucky Pompey underpants on though not so lucky for a while....... £17.99 ouch but when you want something you gotta splash out particularly if your only paying a tenner for that other album. Swings and roundabouts.
Hey Martin, yes good theory! £17.99 is ok, about Discogs median, plus I can actually see the condition & not have to risk the Mail..so I can live with it! 😊 My collection is probably worth about 60% more than I paid for it, so I’m always happy to take a hit at times....hope all is well fellah!
£17.99!!!!!!! wowzer, but what a temptation ; ), glad i still got mine from back in the day. You'd expect a fiver going up to a tenner max these days but I have noticed the 12"s creeping up due to people raving about them on TH-cam!! Yes its yer own fault Pilton 😍😂...Having said that I just got back my missing Cocteau 'Aikea-Guinea 12" at the record fair for a (will i ever see a copy again) £15!!!jeez. I already had that Killing Joke a while back so we are officially out of sync now. Pixies fab. 'Tweeking a bit in a club' 🤔or just going for 'stereo panned mono'. I with you on the charity shops, I was telling the Oxfam assistant I must have paid for a school in Uganda by now but I'm not getting any letters of thanks! I think she was still mad at me for mentioning staff misconduct in Haiti last time i wanted a discount! I'll go to £11 on that White album but thats my final offer ok?
Hey Stevie, yeah not often I will reach those dizzy heights for a 12”, but I pulled the trigger as it’s different to the Substance version. Bizarre Love Triangle is the hot one, it’s hard to find that for under £25.00 now, I think it’s because a lot of kids do acoustic versions of it on TH-cam, so it’s in demand , almost a Tiktok Effect. I got that Cocteau Twins for £4.00 recently. A stall was doing all his 12” at half price. I think Oxfam are decent, I’ve got some incredible deals over the last 10 years, just need to be in the right place at the right time! Cheers Stevie!
@@Harrispilton22 Yes I remember you showing the Cocteau Twins for £4.00 (pls dont remind me but well done) . Yes right place, right time, and pull the trigger (Ch5s, 5-mistakes-that-caught-a-killer ; )
‘Arris 👍 PC31…No one gets out of hear alive. Fresh Prince Of Bellend in da house 😂 That Roky record is brilliant. His lawyer should’ve been jailed for sending him there. The first two Killing Joke albums are great. I saw Peter Hook & the Light. I reckon they were a lot better than when I saw the current New Order line up. There was a whole lot of cultural appropriation in the 80’s pop scene (Paul Simon/Adam Ant/Bow Wow Wow) Nice Pixies 12”s. My pingin days are well over 😂Love Barry’s White Album review. To the point 👍 Panned mono WTF? I have the first two This Heat albums. Damn good stuff. Cheers…Ben
Yeah quite agree Ben, me & my mate saw Hooky in a 500 capacity venue do Brotherhood & Lowlife & it’s probably the best gig I’ve ever seen, he played about 3 hours & did a 20 minute version of Perfect Kiss, awesome. That Deceit is a wierd one, I’ve searched for it for 30 years cost ,me £40.00 which is a lot for me, but that’s still a bargain. I’ve bought some belters from Barry, Big Stars debut £10.00!! He actually had Robbie Williams Greatest Hits for a tenner, I told him it goes for about £200.00, (it does!)he snatched that off me & put it behind the counter..I bet it’s still there..he’s hilarious!
Ha, ha, well I hope so Mike. Laugh 😆 Really enjoyed watching him, he’s a natural showman. Hopefully he’ll play north of Watford one day & you can check them out! Cheers Mike 😊
Hey Sean, I suspect you are right. I was stunned how together this album sounded, I was expecting something like Skip Spence’s ‘Oar’ which is one of those high regarded ‘lost’ albums, which I’ve never actually enjoyed. Just watched your video on Bratmobile I bought that album on vinyl when it came out 91/92. Great memories I was really into the K, Yo Yo, International Pop underground scene. Fascinating time..
Yeah I bought loads of comps at the time.I had the International Pop Underground festival live double album,there was a band called Courtney Love who weren’t the actual Courtney Love..it was very confusing! Their song ‘Motorcyle Boy’ was a wimp rock anthem! @@Shawn_at_Vinyl_Minimalist
Horror rock Rocky labelled it the music ,great deal ,I got 13 floor elevators the 1st lp n a rough area vinyl shop in leeds !.never expected, 30£ .But I've got Lenco rec player but I got it before i got the record player! ,surprised you don't like oar,obvious u like Moby grape I suppose.
I find charity shops a bit frustrating when it comes to records of any note. Ones up my way generally have the usual old tat....man cannot live on Harry Seacombe, Mantovani and bloody James Last albums alone !!! I'm in total agreement with the record shop owner....The White Album,what a load of old crap it is 👍😁👍 What is all that No9 nonsense about 😮😮😮??? Are you going to the next Reading fair ??? Its pencilled in my diary. The last one at the student union was most enjoyable 👍👍👍
Hey Matey! 21st of January?. That may be a possibility. Need to discuss it nearer the time. I reckon a few others might be up for it. Martin may do a stall not sure? The Oxfam in town is a specialist Vinyl store, so actually has its moments, like anything it’s about being there at the right time.
I tend to prefer Tribute Bands to the 'real thing', not that I could listen to a Kinks Song, or easily. It's the tension between reverence and mockery in the performances, as well as the understated tragedy they are mere tributes to the 'real thing' that appeals to me.
Yes agreed Mike, most acts just phone it in nowadays , while the tribute act relies on the crowd to put food on the table. There’s a Daft Punk tribute act playing in town soon which amused me as the real act just play keyboards & wear helmets..so they could have been useing a tribute act to perform as them for the last 20 years & no one would know anyway!
Ha,ha. Barry is a legend, he considers all music should have ended after Lonnie Donegans’s ‘Rock Island Line’ (he may have a point). It’s great to have a shop who’s pricing structure is based on whether the owner likes it or not.
Hey Mr. Pilton. Seeing Mike and his band is on my bucket list (how I hate that term). I’ll be planning my next trip to the UK around their concert schedule. Be so great to get others in the VC to join me. Great finds by the way. Cheers.
Hello Mate yeah I'm sure your get the chance! Would be great if a few of us could all get together, Mike's very good!
That Roky Erickson album is indeed fantastic. Great score. Monkey Gone To Heaven 12” was my first Pixies record I bought back in the day. The non album tracks are fabulous.
Like me some Link Wray too. Cheers mate
Hey Mika, yeah this Link Wray is great, but they shouldn’t have mucked about with the production. I was trying to think what this Rocky Erickson sounds like, Maybye Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers meets The Flaming Groovies? Yeah those b-sides on The Pixies are great, not as good as ‘Into The White’ the B-side on ‘Here Comes Your Man’ though. That’s a classic!
To be honest it wasn’t the thumping I was fearing it was the wet willie in the ear action, and the wrist burns on the willie (sorry back in Portsmouth for a moment there!), but luckily I had the protection of local celeb, the Piltster. Thanks so much for coming along Harris and absolutely brilliant you stayed for the whole set (an act above and beyond!). Hope the other ‘alve didn’t deliver too much grief?

Yeah this ePixies twelves are great. Need to explore Robert Palmer more!
You'll love his debut.. If you haven't heard it before ! @@Harrispilton22
Great video Harris, everything except Robert Palmer is top notch.
Hi Mike..ha,ha, I'm not a Robert Palmer fan..but I'm a bit of a sucker for this one! Cheers for watching..hope all is well! 😃
got not 1, but 2 RECOMMENDATIONS to check out your channel from fellow vc-ers.

Another cool video mate . Love Temptation 😊
Hey Paul, saw New Order last Friday they did an incredible 12 minute version. Highlight of the show!
I bought my first 12" single the other day Harris. I got time after time by Cyndi Lawper. Great video as always some great finds. I had a colour changing t shirt 😂
Hey PJ, love a 12” fellah, bet that sounds decent! Got to love a colour hanging T-Shirt! 😂

Hi Paris - I have the Killing Joke & New Order singles. Everything's Gone Green is my favourite 12" of the three mentioned with Bernies unexpected " WHOO ! " being the highlight !
Hey David, my theory is ‘Everything’s Gone Green’ invented indie dance for better or worse, but I appreciate why Blue Monday gets the headlines, all three singles are pretty remarkable. I was reading that Ian Curtis kept pushing Kraftwerk on the band saying ‘Listen To this’ They now think he was trying to show them the way forward after he died (I think we can assume IC knew he wasn’t long for this world) Both our teams holding steady mate. It’s going to be a bun fight for those playoff places!
I wish our charity/Op shops would do what your Oxfam does by putting all the records in the one place. It is VERY rare to find something decent in an Oppie over here......I do recall the Hypercolor shirts - never owned one, though - Reebok trainers were a big thing in the 80s too, and used to cost a fortune. 😀Love the description of that Beatles album......🤣Nice to know PC31 is a real person. Cheers from Oz. John D
Hey John. Good to hear from you. We’ve probably got geography & population on our side too.50 million people squashed in a tiny island & every city has about 40 Charity shops, it makes it easier to find something, but yeah having a specialist vinyl Charity shop is fairly unique & I think they get prioritised when it comes to stuff donated. I remember buying the first Reebok Classics in about 85? They were grey & very expensive , popular with the hooligan element for a while! Cheers John!
How did I miss this one? Good to see you again Harris. An excellent three minute intro on Kinked Alive. I just subscribed to their website and I thanked you in the comment that I left. As far as your new finds/purchases. They were all interesting once again. I love that Robert Palmer song. Every Kinda People. Did you ever listen to 'Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley'? A good album. I am trying to make out the cover art on the This Heat Deceit album cover. It looks like a face. I will surely check it out. >< Is that Link Wray a straight up rockabilly album? Lastly. That is the best Roky album. He had quite a vision when it came to his music and songwriting. He kind of reminded me of Syd Barrett. But their music was completely different. Thank you Harris. Always the best catching up with you~
Rob/Boston
Hey Rob! To be honest my knowledge of Robert Palmer is minimal, until his MTV breakout era! But this 12” has the 1978 original of ‘Every Kind Of People’ very Marvin Gaye sounding Yes that This Heat is a face, it’s quite a tricky one to get into, almost impossible to describe. kind of deranged Cold War soundtrack! Mike’s band are great, really talented, did an awesome version ‘Stop Your Sobbing’ That Rocky Erikson alp um is great Cheap Trick meets The Flaming Groovies, not what I was expecting at all, I thought it would be like Skip Spence’s ‘Oar’ Thanks as ever Rob!
Not enough Link Wray out there in the VC. GOOD CALL on that!! Rumble is mandatory - and a Jimmy Page fave!
Hey M, just listening to this Link Wray ‘I’m Branded’ sounds like an Early Mudhoney compilation. Yeah I knew Jimmy Page loved that record Cheers M!
Great pick with the Killing Joke single. Whats this For? was my intro to Killing Joke. Classic album. Good variety in there. I remember the Yeke Yeke. Would like to hear the Hardfloor remix. Dont see Pixies 12s that often! Palmer is underared a bit. Has some great tracks. The This Heat sounds lime it might be Punk? Experimental punk or post punk?
"Fresh Prince of Bell End" 😂
😆 Cheers Shane!
I once made the fatal mistake of wrongly calling a Mackem a Geordie. The bloke from Sunderland wanted to throttle me! Luckily he is a good friend and let me off the hook. haha. Brilliant finds! Killing Joke, New Order 12" and Robert Palmer. The other albums look really interesting too! I find Oxfam Music and its Bookshops a bit on the high side for a charity find although they do have some fab stuff there. Great video.
Hi RM. Yes, they can get very sensitive about that! The Link Wray album is great..This Heat is almost impossible to describe...very odd but thrilled to own it!😊
I definitely need to hear that Roky Erickson record after hearing you hype it up! His solo stuff is a bit underappreciated, I think. I always loved that song "It's a Cold Night For Alligators."
I found a bunch of Pixies 12"s at a record fair a few years ago. I got the two you showed and Veloria and Dig For Fire. They had great b-sides (as well as the great a-sides).
I love the early Link Wray, as well as the totally different albums he made in the early 70s (Beans and Fatback and self-titled.)
I'd love to see Mike's band, but I'm a long way from Portsmouth and Southampton, so thanks for the review of the gig. You're right, Mike is a lovely chap.
I just discovered a street near where I live called Bellendean.
Hey Arturo, yes that Rocky Erikson is somewhere between Cheap Trick, early Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers & The Flaming Groovies, it has fantastic production. Yes that Link Wray album is awesome, just fantastic instrumentals, Definitely mastered a bit hot though! Ha, ha Bellendean! Cheers arturo!
@@Harrispilton22 I'm going to start using "bellendean" as an adjective, as in "That movie was very bellendean," or "That work meeting was very bellendean."
Hi Harris. Roky Erickson and the Aliens was a good find. I've got a couple of tracks on comps but never seen this album ... Stereo panned mono? I've heard of electronically reprocessed for stereo, which I avoid like the plague. As a general rule, mono is best prior to 67. These days the obsession is with remixing classic records for no other reason than to get more money out of the superfans ... This Heat 'Deceit'!!! An amazing Oxfam find. I can still remember first hearing them in session on John Peel.
Hi Carl, those reissues done in the early seventies are Notorious for being Messed about with.(I’m sure you’re well aware!) I’ve got a great ‘Them’ comp that’s a right dogs breakfast! That This Heat wasn’t cheap,,but was still a bargain. The best is that Link Wray, love those little instrumentals. I’m Branded sounds like the sort of thing Mudhoney would stick on a b-side. Thanks for watching Carl, hope all is well! 😊
What's this for is IMHO the absolute best Killing Joke song. Had no idea it existed on 12". I'll be looking for that, I love all This Heat albums and the Lifetones one so much I even covered htem on my first record. Lovely pick!
Hey Stunty, I couldn’t believe it when I saw that This Heat record in the racks of my Charity shop....£39.99! , which is almost the most I have paid for a record..but that’s a really good price, normally £60.00-£80.00.That Killing Joke is a 10”..but sounds absolutely fantastic, the sun on the flip is pretty decent too. Cheers Stunty!
Roky Erickson and the Aliens is a great album. Understanding stereo panned mono is above my pay grade.
Hey Ritchie, I was expecting a drug addled mess.. it sounds more like The Flaming Groovies, meets early Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Bass player from Creedence Clearwayer Revival produced it, guitar sounds great. Yeah stereo panned mono is shite..hope the Jazz Bums never get confronted with it...that could be a long video.
Hey Harris, I've had my sights set on those Pixies 12s for awhile, not scored them yet tho. Did not know that it's a different recording of Gigantic, good to know! And I'm intrigued by that This Heat album. Never heard of it but sounds interesting.
Hi Ian, yeah Gigantic is only slightly different, but I find the album version far superior. ‘Here Comes Your Man’ is my favourite as it’s got Kim Deals ‘Into The White’ on the flip. Top 5 Pixies tune ever imo. This Heat is simply impossible to describe. Prog Post Punk with Tape Loops?
random side note for you I also had one of those shirts and was amazed by it
Hey Shaun, those t-shirts were boss back in the day! I still can’t believe I spent £120.00 on a pair of Travel Fox trainers, I think Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays used to wear them..that’s about £250.00 in today’s money..they were rubbish too!
I really do need to pay a visit to Boohoo! Bloody hell Deceit was a good find for Oxfam, you can find excellent stuff in there but I'd never expect to see that.
Ha,ha Boo Hoo is an experience! You never quite know what your going to find. Yeah as it’s an Oxfam Music in the City Centre, my theory is they get a lot of the good stuff funnelled to them, as they probably have to justify their existence, but yes vipers rare record that Dan!
I'm hoping PC31 brings his tour to Canada 🙂 I've been looking for the the Killing Joke 10". Very nice finds.
Hi Brian, yeah that Killing Joke was £6.00 at the Charity shop, which is about right. Sounds fantastic though! Yeah hopefully Mike might do a world tour.
I own Gigantic; I've been on the hunt for Monkey Gone To Heaven for a while. Nice find, there. I know exactly what you mean concerning the processing of the old mono pressings.
Ha, whenever I see a repress that came out in the 70’s that has a load of technical nonsense on the back saying how they’ve made the record sound better..that’s always a red flag!
Me again , i accidentally hit the send button. I was into Glam Rock , then Punk / New Wave and Soul / Funk music and Disco.
Chinese burn 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HP, it’ll take a while to recover from my cracked ribs mate.
Great to hear the gig was a real topper 👍 Take care.
Hey Cheers Mike, yeah it’s not exactly the hood around here! 😂 The biggest scandal we had here is when I went through Waitrose ten items or less queue with eleven items!
Oh for a local Oxfam with This Heat LPs! Very nice. They were kinda sorta the missing piece linking the Canterbury scene and post-punk, via Charles Heyward. Wasn't it a micro-genre called Rock In Opposition back there for a bit at the end of the '70s? I dunno. Either way, "Deceit" is a cracking album! D
Yes, it’s a specialist Oxfam Vinyl Store in Southampton, so I get the feeling a lot of premium stuff gets fed into them . This was £39.99 which is a lot for me, but I’ve looked for it for 30 years, & that’s a decent price. It’s indescribable, but I think the U.K. equivalent of Locust Abortion Technician wasn’t bad!
@@Harrispilton22 They did a big digital/CD boxset reissue about 15 or 20 years back called "Out Of Cold Storage", with all the studio stuff in it...but I don't see original vinyl out and about that much. Definitely agree that it's got some of that disturbing, cut-up "sound collage" thing going on, just like Locust does. D
Hi, i`ve been buying records since 1979 and back in the mid 1980`s onwards i started buying a lot of House , Techno and Balearic 12" singles. Here are a couple of tunes you might or might not already know that i think could be played in many different types of DJ sets even a Balearic set. None of these tunes are classed as strictly Balearic but any tune can be played in a Balearic set if it has the right sound and feel.
DIGITAL JUSTICE - THEME FROM IT`S ALL GONE PEAR SHAPED.
JASPER VAN`T HOF - HOOMBA HOOMBA. The original 15 minute album mix.
VOICE OF AFRICA - HOOMBA HOOMBA. This is a cover version of the Jasper Van`t Hof track. The Voice Of Africa version to purchase is the original instrumental 12" and not the later released 12" featuring a female vocal that completely ruins the original instrumental.
SABRES OF PARADISE - SMOKEBELCH 2- DAVID HOLMES ENTRY and EXIT mixes.
MONSOON - EVER SO LONELY. 12" mix. Shelia Chandra is the vocalist.
Cheers.
Hello mate. I’ll check those out! Cheers. I’ve actually got the 12” of Smokebelch...in fact I’ve shown it! I love a good old Balearic 12” Appreciate those suggestions, look,forward to giving this a listen tomorrow afternoon! ❤
I always thought the Kinks red jackets and white ruffles was a great look, though not one I’d try in this town on a Saturday night.
80s Roky is brilliant, though pretty different from the 13th Floor Elevators. £10 is a fantastic deal. Have never seen an Oxfam specialist music shop - sounds good.
Yes I bought it off Richard Warwick who has a channel on the VC. He sets up at the record fair & every penny he makes goes to charity, fantastic bloke. That Rocky Erikson had sat with him for months, so I had to go for it. Yes Oxfam Music in Southampton is great. They price high enough to dissuade the dealers, but about 20% under Discogs median. Like all Charity shops it’s all about being there at the right time.
Hi 👋 Paris Hilton , Oops ! sorry i meant Harris Pilton. 😜 Only joking. I like Killing Joke and New Order, i saw New Order in 1983 / 84 here in NZ. They were late on stage i remember , everyone including me were getting restless. Apparently there was some conflict between band members. 😕 I like Robert Palmer, and that song Every kind of People , it did come out in 1978. I was 18 years young that year. In 1979 he put out a cracking song called Bad case of loving You. I loved 1970s music , I was in my teens and i was into
Hey Carl, seems like we have a lot in common music wise. My loves have always been soul/disco/punk & electronic. In fact I pretty much love everything apart from metal..don’t know why? Wow you’ve seen some incredible bands at there peak..although New Order can be a lottery live, thanks again Carl 😊
@@Harrispilton22 I remember the 1960s music. I like Motown, soul and American Bubblegum from that time.
Yeah all big favourites with me Carl. Holland-Dozier-Holland & James Jameson are my musical heroes.@@carltwidle9046
That roky ericson is a great album. Ive seen the vinyl few different times and the price is through the roof. As much as i would love to have roky ericson on vinyl they've got me priced out of the market. That said I think roky ericson's solo stuff is so much better then his stuff with 13th floor elevators.
No way !! You met up with Mr. PC31 .. I did know your cities are arch enemies in football. Don't hold it against me, I am a fan of Liverpool Football Club ! I wish I was their with you, Harris.. I might have broke my sobriety of 33 years ! Just kidding, no worries, I won't go off the deep end ever again ! Hehe😊
Hey JT. a lot of football clubs in England have pretty intense rivalries. Southampton V Portsmouth is up there with the worst. Liverpool bought allSouthamptons players about 7 years ago..so I’m a Liverpool fan by proxy! 😆
Good ! I am safe as far as that goes ! Haha🤪I like the tradition of Liverpool Football as well..@@Harrispilton22
Yeke yeke that's a great remix banger. My theory behind odd records in Ibiza here goes....... at 3am drugs obviously but DJs came back to UK bought all the cool tunes then early 90s with vinyl dying all the record companies whacked out formats 12"s included in a vain attempt to get top 40 hits especially by old has-beens to plug their forthcoming albums hence DJs grabbed whatever they could whilst home (true some had great remixes on them but some 99p ones were stinkers. I worked in a chart shop so we buzzed through some tat to get freebies forgive me now ok...... I think maybe PC31 has his lucky Pompey underpants on though not so lucky for a while....... £17.99 ouch but when you want something you gotta splash out particularly if your only paying a tenner for that other album. Swings and roundabouts.
Hey Martin, yes good theory! £17.99 is ok, about Discogs median, plus I can actually see the condition & not have to risk the Mail..so I can live with it! 😊 My collection is probably worth about 60% more than I paid for it, so I’m always happy to take a hit at times....hope all is well fellah!
£17.99!!!!!!! wowzer, but what a temptation ; ), glad i still got mine from back in the day. You'd expect a fiver going up to a tenner max these days but I have noticed the 12"s creeping up due to people raving about them on TH-cam!!
Yes its yer own fault Pilton 😍😂...Having said that I just got back my missing Cocteau 'Aikea-Guinea 12" at the record fair for a (will i ever see a copy again) £15!!!jeez. I already had that Killing Joke a while back so we are officially out of sync now. Pixies fab. 'Tweeking a bit in a club' 🤔or just going for 'stereo panned mono'.
I with you on the charity shops, I was telling the Oxfam assistant I must have paid for a school in Uganda by now but I'm not getting any letters of thanks! I think she was still mad at me for mentioning staff misconduct in Haiti last time i wanted a discount!
I'll go to £11 on that White album but thats my final offer ok?
Hey Stevie, yeah not often I will reach those dizzy heights for a 12”, but I pulled the trigger as it’s different to the Substance version. Bizarre Love Triangle is the hot one, it’s hard to find that for under £25.00 now, I think it’s because a lot of kids do acoustic versions of it on TH-cam, so it’s in demand , almost a Tiktok Effect. I got that Cocteau Twins for £4.00 recently. A stall was doing all his 12” at half price. I think Oxfam are decent, I’ve got some incredible deals over the last 10 years, just need to be in the right place at the right time! Cheers Stevie!
@@Harrispilton22 Yes I remember you showing the Cocteau Twins for £4.00 (pls dont remind me but well done) . Yes right place, right time, and pull the trigger (Ch5s, 5-mistakes-that-caught-a-killer ; )
‘Arris 👍 PC31…No one gets out of hear alive. Fresh Prince Of Bellend in da house 😂 That Roky record is brilliant. His lawyer should’ve been jailed for sending him there. The first two Killing Joke albums are great. I saw Peter Hook & the Light. I reckon they were a lot better than when I saw the current New Order line up. There was a whole lot of cultural appropriation in the 80’s pop scene (Paul Simon/Adam Ant/Bow Wow Wow) Nice Pixies 12”s. My pingin days are well over 😂Love Barry’s White Album review. To the point 👍 Panned mono WTF? I have the first two This Heat albums. Damn good stuff. Cheers…Ben
Yeah quite agree Ben, me & my mate saw Hooky in a 500 capacity venue do Brotherhood & Lowlife & it’s probably the best gig I’ve ever seen, he played about 3 hours & did a 20 minute version of Perfect Kiss, awesome. That Deceit is a wierd one, I’ve searched for it for 30 years cost ,me £40.00 which is a lot for me, but that’s still a bargain. I’ve bought some belters from Barry, Big Stars debut £10.00!! He actually had Robbie Williams Greatest Hits for a tenner, I told him it goes for about £200.00, (it does!)he snatched that off me & put it behind the counter..I bet it’s still there..he’s hilarious!
@@Harrispilton22 Barry sounds like a rippin' bloke.
Hes a one-off!
The Fresh Prince of bellend! 😂😂😂
Ha, ha. Yeah it’s hard to get any respect round these parts!
❤😂
I'm relieved that PC31 managed to get out of Southampton in one piece😂
Ha, ha, well I hope so Mike. Laugh 😆 Really enjoyed watching him, he’s a natural showman. Hopefully he’ll play north of Watford one day & you can check them out! Cheers Mike 😊
So am I Mike 😂😂
I think Roky had legit mental issues. I've seen a few interviews. Cold night for Alligators is one of my fans from that era
Hey Sean, I suspect you are right. I was stunned how together this album sounded, I was expecting something like Skip Spence’s ‘Oar’ which is one of those high regarded ‘lost’ albums, which I’ve never actually enjoyed. Just watched your video on Bratmobile I bought that album on vinyl when it came out 91/92. Great memories I was really into the K, Yo Yo, International Pop underground scene. Fascinating time..
@@Harrispilton22 that was good stuff
Yeah I bought loads of comps at the time.I had the International Pop Underground festival live double album,there was a band called Courtney Love who weren’t the actual Courtney Love..it was very confusing! Their song ‘Motorcyle Boy’ was a wimp rock anthem! @@Shawn_at_Vinyl_Minimalist
Horror rock Rocky labelled it the music ,great deal ,I got 13 floor elevators the 1st lp n a rough area vinyl shop in leeds !.never expected, 30£ .But I've got Lenco rec player but I got it before i got the record player! ,surprised you don't like oar,obvious u like Moby grape I suppose.
@@waynesilverman3048 hi Wayne, yes I love the Grapes first album!
I find charity shops a bit frustrating when it comes to records of any note. Ones up my way generally have the usual old tat....man cannot live on Harry Seacombe, Mantovani and bloody James Last albums alone !!!
I'm in total agreement with the record shop owner....The White Album,what a load of old crap it is 👍😁👍 What is all that No9 nonsense about 😮😮😮???
Are you going to the next Reading fair ??? Its pencilled in my diary. The last one at the student union was most enjoyable 👍👍👍
Hey Matey! 21st of January?. That may be a possibility. Need to discuss it nearer the time. I reckon a few others might be up for it. Martin may do a stall not sure? The Oxfam in town is a specialist Vinyl store, so actually has its moments, like anything it’s about being there at the right time.
I tend to prefer Tribute Bands to the 'real thing', not that I could listen to a Kinks Song, or easily. It's the tension between reverence and mockery in the performances, as well as the understated tragedy they are mere tributes to the 'real thing' that appeals to me.
Yes agreed Mike, most acts just phone it in nowadays , while the tribute act relies on the crowd to put food on the table. There’s a Daft Punk tribute act playing in town soon which amused me as the real act just play keyboards & wear helmets..so they could have been useing a tribute act to perform as them for the last 20 years & no one would know anyway!
@@Harrispilton22 Daft Punk, should be your nickname!! hope you will go to see them with a helmet on, stop you scaring the ladies!!
Barry was so right about The White album. Complete shite
Ha,ha. Barry is a legend, he considers all music should have ended after Lonnie Donegans’s ‘Rock Island Line’ (he may have a point). It’s great to have a shop who’s pricing structure is based on whether the owner likes it or not.
Roky Erickson, power pop 😂😂😂😂
It's rock and roll, ain't nothing pop about it mate.
It sounds like pop to me Sir! But if you want to call it Rock and roll then that’s fine....it’s doesn’t change how it sounds 😊
