As a huge fan of reggae myself, I'd recommend 60's reggae (ska/bluebeat, rocksteady, skinhead reggae) over 70's reggae. As much as I love it, 70's reggae can probably be monotonous at times, but if you want more soulful, danceable, or psych in your reggae then go with 60's era which is completely different.
Highlight of Sunday nights(here in Sweden anyways) is Telegram Sam rounding off the weekend so nicely! Very much appreciated as always,2 albums made it on to my wishlist this time. Just great! Cheers and take care in the sauna!🥵
My all time favorite reggae album is the sound track to Rockers. I'm almost 60 & have been really loving most of your picks. It's so good to know that truly great music is still being loved by younger generations. Thank you.
I can't believe it's hotter in Portland than in Atlanta. We're only in the mid 90's. You and your mom are going to have a blast at the B-52's show! Stay cool.
Yeah, this same time last year we hit between 115-120 degrees for a week straight. So I'm thankful we're not getting that again! Yes, I'm so excited about that show!
Here Come the Warm Jets - I adore that record and play it so often. I always point out the girl peeing on the cover - the 70s were a different time. Cake - that album was everywhere when it came out. Enjoy the B52s concert!
Aloha Sam , Wow! 102 degrees ! Here in Honolulu it's always warm but Never in the 100's. The humidity is what gets us here when theirs no Tradewinds. It's warm today so I'm relaxing in my room with the Air Conditioning on watching your video. You purchase some great record albums, and those Reggae record albums must be cool. In the 1970's I listened to Bob Marley a lot. In the early 1990's a shop that sold record albums also put on concerts here in Hawaii, I was able to get a backstage pass to take photos 📷 of some Concerts one which was, Gregory Isaac. I'll post one of his photos I took , on Instagram so you can check it out, & yes Night Nurse is his best record album. Thanks again for sharing Sam. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Mahalo Ed.
Stay cool :) Great you got the Ann Peebles' debut . Have it too. Love Eno, got.that too, early press. I have a 'ot of reggae and dub. Give Keith Hudson a listen, very psychedelic and out there... his stuff. A 70s legend. Or Eek-A-Mouse,. 80s Dancehall.
I think I've heard a few Keith Hudson tracks and I really like his stuff. I definitely think I lean more towards Dancehall when it comes to Jamaican music
Fan...what fan....I can't hear your fan because of my own fan running. Your copy of "Here Come the Warm Jets" is a lot cleaner than mine, my cover is almost trashed. The Damned....awesome! And so cheap, wow! As always, great video and excellent pickups!
I look forward to all of your new finds, well done, great taste in music. We have four KILLER record stores here in Burlington,Vt you’d really love. Everyday Music has closed out there at this point ? Look out for my favorite, Michael Hurley, great records, can be tough to find…acquired taste for sure.
Love that Damned "Black Album." I have an OG but it skips. 😢 Such a great album. Have you heard "Strawberries?" Love that album. I love all of The Damned LPs. Have a few of their records on colored wax - Strawberries on red, Phantasmagoria on white, Music For Pleasure - blue and some colored 12 inchers of theirs. I'm a big fan of The Damned. Glad you dig them too. I like reggae, especially 60's and 70's reggae. Nice reggae VCLT! "Night Nurse" is one of my favorite tracks!
Want the Eno…listening to The Distance now for the first time…no song titles on the lp is weird!!! Great Ann Peebles cover. Sorry about the heat, but thanks for the great haul.
Hi Sam. Nice video as usual. I get your point regarding reggae. However, I love reggae and if I may, I would recommend the superb Linton Kwesi Johnson Forces of Victory album (english reggae) that really stands out. One of my favorite reggae album of all time. Temperature is also unbearable in France at the moment. Cheers. Thierry
Reggae can be a minefield as the albums are often spotty.My recommendations for real killer albums would be Max Romeo ‘War Inna Babylon’ .Culture ‘Two Sevens Clash .Mighty Diamonds ‘Right Time’ The Gladiators ‘Trench Town Mix Up’ Congo's ‘Heart Of The Congo's’ Augustis Pablo ‘East Of The River Nile’ If you buy those & are dissaponted I’ll give you your money back Sam!
Hi Sam 🌞 ! Both The Black Album & Strawberries 🍓 are excellent efforts by The Damned - You miss out on the 20 minute epic " Curtain Call " by not getting the 2 LP version of Black but still get the awesome Dr.Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde. We had monsoon 🌧 here in New Mexico yesterday which got rid of the 100 degree heat .. but left behind humidity 🙃
Hey David! I definitely need more of The Damned in my collection and still on the hunt for the 2lp version of this album but this version will hold me over. Oh wow, yeah I would rather deal with the blazing heat than humidity
The Damned black album is one of my favorite of theirs, it kind of leans into goth and prog stuff in it. Police in helicopter is also one of my favorite reggae songs!
Oh yeah, it was especially that song at the end or near the end of the album called "curtain call". That song is long and very prog for the damned I feel.
Thought I've heard every 90's grunge/alt rock classic album by this point, but never heard Cake before. I have the Damned's BA 2 LP version, think the only thing you are missing is a live side and their only "prog" song, yes you heard well lol. Brian Enos's Baby's on Fire is on my 500 favorite songs of all time list.
I was lucky enough to find a UK Island pink rim press of Here Come the Warm Jets for very good money! Had wanted to pick it up for ages and hoping to find some other classic Eno albums at some point too. Certainly a very fair price for that Damned. Weirdly I never got into Cake other than The Distance, they're probably very much up my street though. Tbh I thought the same about that Tyler album, its pretty good for sure but not on the same level as Igor or Flower Boy for me. Great choice of dub and reggae albums!
Nice Eno find! Yeah, I find a lot of Cakes stuff is very hit or miss for me, Fashion Nugget is probably the only album I need to own by them. Glad I wasn't the only one to be let down by that Tyler album, I saw a lot of people putting it on their best record of the year list already. So, I just thought I was out of touch with the current state of hip hop.
Much love for the Ann Peebles pick up. Nice selection. I think as with most genres/sub-genres of music, the more exposure your ears have the more nuances you’ll soon discover and possibly love. Kinda like your one video about albums you didn’t like at first, Reggae might be something you’ll better appreciate down the line.
Bonjour, désolé si mon Français est un peu rouillé. Je n’ai pas vraiment eu l’occasion de l’utiliser depuis les deux années de Français que j’ai passées au lycée. Si ma traduction est correcte, je crois que vous me demandiez de jouer certains des disques? Eh bien, restez à l’écoute parce que je vais faire quelque chose comme ça dans cette vidéo du dimanche!
Hey! If you like reggae check out Tales Of Mozambique (1975) by Count Ossie & The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. It's a great mix of reggae, jazz and African music.
Jamaican music is one of my specialties and believe me all reggae songs do not sound the same!! Far from it! (Of course it's possible the reggae beat is not your cup of tea which is fine. I don't like disco...lol) The backup bands behind these singers are all superb musicians and the different little touches they add to each song are simply wonderful. That said, you picked out some winners here. Isaacs happened to be my very favorite JA singer. He was called "the cool ruler" and his voice certainly conveys this. At the outset of his career he often portrayed himself as the spurned lover, but still hopelessly searching for love. As his career progressed he sang less and less about affairs of the bedroom and more about ghetto peoples" suffering and wicked Babylon. This was in keeping with many of the themes of roots reggae which lasted roughly from 1976-1985. And John Holt I love too. His voice is just so wonderful. He started singing rock steady with The Paragons, one of the most beloved groups in that genre, the genre that came just before reggae and lasted only 2 years, 1966-68. Check out some of The Paragons songs. Blondie had a huge hit with one of them, The Tide Is High, but the Paragons original version is still the best. Holt was primarily a singer of love songs and just about the best (just listen to his voice!) but by the time of Police in Helicopter he had made the transition to more reality based roots songs and this LP showed he was just as adept here.
I think it's just a genre I need to get more immersed in since I'm really only familiar with the basics of reggae. But thank you for spreading your knowledge
Thank you! Not really... I'm usually always working Saturdays but I'm lucky to work a block away from a record store that participates in it so if there is something I really wanted I will head over there after my shift and get it.
............. for reggae you should listen to a STEELPULSE song called PREDICTION ................. Hugh mundell's Africa must be free ....... the Congo's heart of the Congo's ....................
I'm able to keep my apartment cool with the several fans I have throughout my apartment, most of them pointing at my records rather than me. No warps on my watch
*a sweep of the hand*
"GOTH music!"
I like that. I'm going to use it all the time. For everything.
*a sweep of the hand*
"PIZZA!"
Like that. Thanks!

Hola, como has estado, me gusto la transmision de hoy, espero que tengas un resto de dia feliz, hasta la proxima.
The black album is my favorite album by the damned
The best Brian Eno album ever!!! Good find!

Yeah, I would rather just deal with straight up heat than humidity any day. That Gregory Isaacs story is awesome! Thanks Ed!
Awesome!! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! I just got one myself finally! Fight to Blackpool UK tomorrow for Rebellion! great stuff this week!
Thank you!

Hey Sam really liking your channel! That Ann Peebles lp is a regular go to for me such a good soul album that sounds incredible on vinyl 👌 nice vid 😊
Awesome
Love your channel! Thank you, as always, for pointing me in the right direction for new (to me) albums
Thanks John! And thank you for trusting me to lead you to some great new albums!
Agree 100 percent!

Thanks for the reggae recommendation, stay cool in France!
Got the damned black album totally black with the damned embossed in black on it in black. Cake are a favorite from back in the day.

Yeah definitely fan time in the PNW. It is hot in Seattle but I hear it’s hotter in Portland. Yikes 🔥
I'm just thankful it's not like this time last year where we had a week straight of 110-118 degree weather. At least we're just in the low 100's lol
The Damned black album is one of my favorite of theirs, it kind of leans into goth and prog stuff in it.
Police in helicopter is also one of my favorite reggae songs!
I never noticed the prog element in The Black Album, but I can definitely hear it now.

Cake's catalog is very hit or miss for me. But I would definitely recommend Fashion Nugget as their best album.
Love your honest reviews Sam, Great vid as always
Thanks Michael!
I have an original pressing of that Eno debut! Nice score, reissue or not you don't see a lot of them.
I was lucky enough to find a UK Island pink rim press of Here Come the Warm Jets for very good money! Had wanted to pick it up for ages and hoping to find some other classic Eno albums at some point too. Certainly a very fair price for that Damned.

If you end up further into reggae Horace Andy - Skylarking is a must.
Thanks for the rec Dave!

Thank you! Yeah, I totally agree with you. I think once I become more exposed to reggae it's something I will come to appreciate more.
Hello Sam. Just a question : are you into Nada Surf's music ? If yes, which is your fav album ? Good summer to you, from France.
Bonsoir de France. Merci pour votre présentation super , continuez. Petite suggestion, quelques ecoutes de sons sur votre platine. Super continuez

That's all very fancy and good but do you have "Queen, Greatest Hits"?
I have that on CD but I have Sheer Heart Attack and The Game on vinyl
Hey! If you like reggae check out Tales Of Mozambique (1975) by Count Ossie & The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. It's a great mix of reggae, jazz and African music.
Thanks for the recommendation! That sounds a bit more up my alley

Do you partake in Record Store Day?
Thank you! Not really... I'm usually always working Saturdays but I'm lucky to work a block away from a record store that participates in it so if there is something I really wanted I will head over there after my shift and get it.
👍❤
Not every type of music will ring your bell, which is just fine.
............. for reggae you should listen to a STEELPULSE song called PREDICTION ................. Hugh mundell's Africa must be free ....... the Congo's heart of the Congo's ....................
get an air conditioner! for yourself and for your vinyl! not good to leave vinyl in 100 degree weather.
I'm able to keep my apartment cool with the several fans I have throughout my apartment, most of them pointing at my records rather than me. No warps on my watch
@@ts_vinyl i am glad----but hopefully YOU don't warp either! :P
I kind of have the same experience listening to Reggae. Live and Direct by Aswad stands out for me, as does all the Wailers stuff of course.
