“A man shouting at cars!”😂😂Yes to karaoke at the pub, fantastic idea. I picked the US as well. Can’t live without soul, funk, country or jazz. Great response John. Love your channel. Cheers.
Great video. Could not agree more about Lenny Kravitz, He opened for Aerosmith about 20 yrs ago. Fantastic showman. KICK is a classic album also. Love the needle drops!!!
The best tag by far. Straight to the point no wankery 😊 Plus bonus points for the dinner / karaoke. Also for showing Sinead, Th Fall, Pet Shop Boys, Two Tone and INXS. 10 /10
I got the Grian Chatten album just before Christmas and it's really grown on me. I think it'll be a favourite of 2024 for me. Enjoyed your video and nice to hear the needle drops. Love The Fall!
I loved that image of Madonna supping John Smiths tinnies- really made me chuckle. So true about Inxs. I loved Suicide Blonde back in the day. Had the 7” of that - such a bassline on that record. Cheers John 👍
I just ordered Chaos for the Fly based on your comments. Very cool Two Tone 7" records. What an interesting dinner party that would be. Everyone should have London Calling and if they don't they need to get it!
John, that was excellent choices, best presentation I’ve seen. The Beginning of the End second album is also very good. Gwen Mc Crae is new to me, I need to check that album out. ✌️
Hi John. Great presentation style as always ... Nice selection of Two-Tone singles ... I picked Johnny Cash for my dinner party too. At the back of my mind I thought it was true that Madonna liked John Smiths. I googled it, and I'm reliably informed by the always accurate internet that her favourite cocktail is pomegranate martini; and she also drank a bottle of Miraval rose during a "wild night of partying" in 2022 (according to the Daily Mail) ... You showed my favourite record ('London Calling'), and I agree with you re the Pet Shop Boys ... I think Static Traveller might have mentioned Andre Previn before? Norman Maslov maybe?
Hi Carl. Pomegranate Martini? I was sure that Madonna would be knocking back pints of bitter 😀. Pet Shop Boys very rarely get mentioned in the VC. I think they made some of the best pop records of the 80’s. Cheers! John
Great video ! Saw a lot of music I was unfamiliar with .. since putting up my first video tag that answered Walkers tag I’m finding everybody who’s done one - you got a new sub !👍
Madonna is invited to my party too. I remember when Kravitz' Mama Said album came out. At the time there was something different about it that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Eventually I came to form the opinion that his style and sound was, at least in that time, built on nostalgia. Quite unapologetically so. He doesn't get the coverage he deserves does he, but then I often wonder if it is because much of his music could arguably be accused of plundering much of the great music from the 70s that he is so enthused about. Prince did that I know, but Prince was able to somehow turn it into his own musicale style. Few will hear Prince's music and not know that it is his, where as Lenny's music isn't quite so easily identifiable. IMHO. Happy New Year
Great video. I love that Grian Chatten album and fontaines D.C. there was a new band called The Dream Machine from Liverpool that released a good album too
Hi John, I enjoyed your response to the tag. You reminded me how good Lenny Kravitz is. Must try to find the old CDs. Those 2-Tone singles is a reminder of how big a phenomenon it was.
So nice to see the love for Lenny Kravitz. The critics were always so sniffy (like you say in this video), but he is so versatile, and for me, is a great soul artist.
Nice ❤ Lenny Kravitz , I saw him live in Oslo just after his first album, he was playing in the middle of the floor with people just around him in the room, a perfect concert with a small audience. Waiting for his new album this year and hope to se him live this year 😎
Hi John thanks for responding we really need to have a meet up this year. I’ve posted a few videos by new channels on my channel. It’s great when new channels appear in January. Nice 2 tone singles .. I also like Bruce’s channel .. I have hit parade 👍 cheers John. Up the villa ⚽️
I don’t own any Fall and it is daunting on where to start. 300 Prince bootlegs is amazing. Those Two Tone 7”s are amazing. That is an interesting dinner party.
I know what you mean about The Fall. You’d definitely like their first few albums. Check out Dragnet or Live At The Witch Trials. Right up your street.
Nice one, John. I must remember you are in fact 'the 6 inch pianist' and not the extended version I quoted on my vinyl tag. 🤣Loved that snippet of Funky Nassau. All the best in 2024!
An excellent Tag response. My fave so far. Alot of big names and quality in there too. My fav was the killer collection of Two Tone 7s.. and the Prince boot LP. Couldnt have been easy to aquire all that. Same with the 90s LPs by Lenny and GNR rare OGs. Cheers man!
Hey Jason. Those Lenny Kravitz OG’s aren’t too expensive. I certainly think that both Let Love Rule and Mama Said are still pretty affordable. Both great records too. The GnR albums were given to me by a mate. He turned up at my house with a big bag of 90’s rock a couple of years ago asking me if I wanted it. He didn’t have to ask twice! Cheers
Gwen McCrae had one of the best female R&B/soul voices ever. To me, her best song is Lead Me On. Never hear it played anywhere and it should have been a massive hit.
The G 'n' R release date put most people in the I can't afford both together situation. Don't think I've heard them since but I would much rather go back than those Bruce Springboard ones (Zzzzzzzzzzz). Interesting dinner party would Madge and Freddie take over and be on the table....... One of the best concerts ever I saw was Kravitz at Wembley arena (not an easy place to make lively) albeit there was alot of women gyrating. Kick INXS the white Lenny. Cheers John 😊
Hi Martin. I’d love to have seen Lenny at his peak. He had a killer band too. I couldn’t afford the GnR at the time. The copies I showed were given to me by a mate who got rid of his record player. I think they both still sound good 👍
Hi John, must look into that Grian Chatten album. I'm with your wife on Mark E Smith I'm afraid. Karaoke with those four would be very interesting. Andre Previn?...that's a surprise...Oh I see why you have it...
I think you’d like the Grian Chatten album, Dale. It’s very understated. Not what I expected. And I tried finding a copy of the Andre Previn album without the naked woman on the cover but, unfortunately, had no luck….
I have the Previn, but not the Clash. Your dinner party is going to be beyond dull with those psyches! There are no ''Black Artists'' get a tin of black paint and look into it! Racist language, needs to stop!
@@6inchpianist I collect records with nude people on them, have about 300-400, maybe more. Men or Women, especially the Classical Music Covers, which are surprisingly numerous. As John Peel once said about his collection of porno items, when I die I will be remembered as a pervert! Talking of that dead sex abuser he probably persuaded me to buy a few Clash 45's aged 15. I never liked them much, or compared to some of the other punky bands, but I was more like you consumption wise aged 15, although never much of a smiler, you are the Cheshire Cat of the VC.
@@6inchpianist ''nice'' is not the word I'd use, anyone who listens to Queen is what I tend to call a malignant sociopathic narcissist, although the specialists might say a case of Misophonia or one of the conditions linked to an impoverised limbic system. I would add at least the Clash seemed to have some integrity and not see pop-punk as a means to enich themselves or remove the panties from young ladies, or both!

Hey. Everyone likes a bit of Karaoke and I’m sure that Johnny Cash was no different 😀. Cheers!
One of my favorite tag videos I've watched so far in 2024. Great choices all around. Cheers. I also picked the 70s and US.
Couldn’t agree more about Lenny Kravitz! I actually talked about that in my last video also, long time favorite! Great tag! 👏
Hey. Yeah, you can’t knock a bit of Lenny, especially Mama Said. That albums an absolute corker. Cheers!
Great video. Could not agree more about Lenny Kravitz, He opened for Aerosmith about 20 yrs ago. Fantastic showman. KICK is a classic album also. Love the needle drops!!!
Absolutely fantastic vinyl tag. One of the best I've seen so far. So many great answers and albums and all those 2 Tone records! . Happy 2024!
Thank you! Happy 2024!
Fantastic stuff... loved the energy and some of your deeper selections. Well done.
I always learn about an artist I’ve never heard off ( and end up liking) when I watch your videos. Good job 👍
Hey. Glad you found something new that floats your boat! Take care. Cheers. John

Hi Andy. Oh yeah. Suicide Blonde is a tune! Cheers
"The Man Who Shouted At Cars" is a classic Fall track. Your wife knows her MES.
Nice choices all round.
Ha! Is it? I’ll have to ask her. Which record is that on?
I just ordered Chaos for the Fly based on your comments. Very cool Two Tone 7" records. What an interesting dinner party that would be. Everyone should have London Calling and if they don't they need to get it!

Excellent as always and any video that shows Two-Tone singles definitely gets my seal of approval 👍👍👍
I knew you’d approve of the Two- Tone singles, Nick. Every one a classic 👌

Hi John, I enjoyed your response to the tag. You reminded me how good Lenny Kravitz is. Must try to find the old CDs. Those 2-Tone singles is a reminder of how big a phenomenon it was.
Hi Steve. Yeah, the first three Lenny Kravitz albums are excellent. Quite a mixture of styles too. Definitely worth revisiting 👍👍
So nice to see the love for Lenny Kravitz. The critics were always so sniffy (like you say in this video), but he is so versatile, and for me, is a great soul artist.
I’m with you, David. Kenny’s records have a lot of soul 👌

10/10. On spot.

Love a bit of two tone. Great choices John. Really good response to the tag. Cheers fella, Chris
Hi Chris. You can’t go wrong with a bit of Two Tone!
Gwen McCrae had one of the best female R&B/soul voices ever. To me, her best song is Lead Me On. Never hear it played anywhere and it should have been a massive hit.
Hi Mark. I don’t know Lead Me On. Will check it out. Thanks for the heads up 👍
I would say Rockin' Chair is her BEST record.
That was fun to watch ! Great picks 👌🏻
Thanks Sylvie 👍

Will always love Massive Attack’s 100th Window LP because of the vocals from Sinead on there.
100th Window is a great album, Dave.
Awesome selection, Lenny Kravitz track Sister is just epic for me, especially some of the live recordings he released. Had it on the Circus 10” series
Hey DJ. I used to put Sister on the jukebox in the local pub when I was a student. Great tune and value for money too 👌
13:55 and don't forget the poster!
You’re right, Dennis. The poster is just as good as the gatefold photo 😀
Anyone got links for the other channels mentioned at 9.05?
I have the Previn, but not the Clash. Your dinner party is going to be beyond dull with those psyches! There are no ''Black Artists'' get a tin of black paint and look into it! Racist language, needs to stop!
