Great choices which coincidently I also have all of what you showed in my collection! and it's nice to see a fellow fan of The Flamin' groovies, The Pirates and The Uni boys. I think I also spotted a Roy Loney and the phantom movers lp in the background on one of your other videos? who I'm also a big fan of. Lastly sorry for the late comment to this video but I've only recently discovered you and am working my way back through your previous videos!.
I've already said it before, but we certainly share a lot of the same interests. I was a massive fan of the Flamin' Groovies / Roy Loney / the Barracudas. You don't need to apologise. It's good that the old videos still pick up views (although my presentation style could be improved on the earliest ones).
Hi Matt. Yes, it was turning into a 60s and 70s fest; so I thought it was a good time to show the Uni Boys. I'm really looking forward to their new album too. I've uploaded a track from it to the Power Pop Shakers playlist.
Hey Carl, Love that Pirates album, one of my favorites back in the day. I've never owned that Dennis Wilson record. I've always wanted it but I never seen it used on CD. I have Love and Syd Barrett disc's and they are great as well. Sweetheart Of The Rodeo is my favorite record by the Byrds. Great choices!
Mick Green was such an exciting guitar player ... You might be able to get the 2010 reissue of the Dennis Wilson CD on Amazon? It's certainly available here in the UK at a good price ... Glad you liked the choices!
The Buckley story is tragic. Such a young death - with a similar story as Janis. (quit H came back to it and it was too strong a dose). His stretch between Blue Afternoon, Lorca and Star Sailor was completely misunderstood but amazing.
Some belters there Carl. I have to admit to loving Band on the Run although I've probably heard it enough!. I only ever bought the Story of the Clash, never investigating their albums further, I really should remedy that. I've often seen that Tim Buckley album but never picked it up for some reason . That Love comp looks terrific and what a treat seeing Arthur Lee live performing Forever Changes, I would've lived to have seen that. All the best. Rob.
Hi Rob. It's so annoying when you've heard something too many times. It used to happen a lot in the 70s when I'd listen to the radio and eventually get sick of whatever was in the charts ... I have to take breaks from my all-time favourite albums because you can have too much of a good thing ... I suppose the Clash can be a bit of an acquired taste. Their music is so varied that I never tire of it ... I saw Arthur Lee a few times after he got released from prison. He was always excellent. Thanks for watching. Take care.
Hi Norman. A wonderful album. He also helped keep the quality of the Beach Boys' albums high when Brian took a back seat in the early 70s. Thanks for commenting.
Hi Carl, great you chose to show the less obvious albums, I might follow that path. Syd Barrett comp is a great pick. I love Pacific Ocean Blue's delicate sound. Shake Some Action is my only Flaming Groovies album but it's a favourite. Cheers Dale
Hi Dale. I couldn't see the point in showing the obvious records; although I also couldn't ignore my love for Pink Floyd, Beatles, Beach Boys, Byrds, Clash ... I've shown 'Shake Some Action' before. It's the best album by the post-Roy Loney lineup ... I'll be interested to see your choices for this thread. All the best, Carl
Nice list Carl! Tim Buckley...I like the old magazines you showed as well. I have a copy of Love "Revisited" and it is an excellent compilation. Side 2 of Combat Rock is terrific. Never seen the Uni Boys until now. Will have to investigate them further. ✌
Hi Mike. I do have quite a few old music magazines. I like them as a time capsule of what was actually happening, before the music historians start re-writing events to fit their agenda ... Yes, it's pretty difficult to argue with the running order on Love's 'Revisited' ... The Uni Boys are still very much a cult band. Their label Curation was set up by a chap who is in Beachwood Sparks. There are a couple of fun videos on TH-cam. All the best from the UK, Carl
Hi Carl. Life off camera has lead pretty far afield and there have been a number of responsibilities that have taken my focus off being able to make videos and digging recently. Music is still vital but right now the records aren't my focus. I hope to get to a place where I have the time to dig and share what I'm finding with you and others. I don't watch many videos these days but I always watch anything you post. Cheers!
@@MommasRecords I'm glad to hear everything is OK. Keep enjoying your music, and hopefully I'll see you posting again at some point. It's good to know you find the time to watch my videos. You'll be one of the few people that knows who the Uni Boys are! Cheers Russ, take care.
Nice reflection from Cambridge, interesting. Such a good Tim Buckley, I think the A side is my favorite. Love Revisited will be a good record gor me to get ! Combat Rock is the one that broke.. over here.. It is on my list of 10 as well.
Hi JT. If you get over to England, Cambridge should definitely be on your short-list of places to visit ... I love Tim Buckley. 'Sweet Surrender' is special ... Love's 'Revisited' is a nice comp to have, even if you have the original albums ... It seemed slightly strange to find the Clash breaking big in America. By the time they played Shea Stadium with the Who, Topper Headon had left the band and it was the beginning of the end. Headon was such a good drummer. The Who wanted him to join them. Thanks for watching. Take care, Carl

Wow - cool choices - never saw some of those vinyl comps. Love the Clash, but that album is probably my least favorite and least played Clash album, except for Cut The Crap. Love those old Zig Zag mags - awesome.
Hi Alan. I enjoyed picking these records out. The Syd Barrett comp is excellent. I was reading up about it on Amazon earlier; and thinking I may get the CD also ... 'Combat Rock is definitely worth a re-visit. I just replied to a comment from Vinyl Richie; he said 'Car Jammin' is his favourite track on the album ...

Hey Carl! Enjoyed your list!! Lots of artists that influenced your power pop sound! I love that Dennis Wilson album!! Only have it on CD, but I won’t replace it with lp because I don’t want to lose the two bonus tracks! Haha! I really should step up and buy that Pirates album! Been on my list for years, but you know how it goes! Hope you’re enjoying your summer!! Cheers, Jon
Hi Jon. So good to hear from you. Yes, this video probably revealed my core musical tastes more than any other I've done ... That Dennis Wilson album gets better and better over time. I remember the album receiving a 3-out-of-10 review in the New Musical Express. It just shows how wrong music critics can be. I have an original vinyl copy; though the one I showed was the Sundazed reissue with loads of extra tracks and the unreleased 'Bambu' LP ...

Hi Carl. Love is just so listenable though I only have the obvious one. I really should try Syd solo I just haven't even after all this time. So Kris Needs was living local to me until about last year I believe, many times seen him about and he DJ'd at my local record fair regularly when about. He's very prolific writer and I read one of his autobiographies too. Thanks for sharing Carl as a chance to summerise what we really like and listen to.
Hi Martin. 'Forever Changes' shouldn't work, but it just seems to touch your soul. Seeing Arthur Lee perform the album was a special gig ... I suppose Syd Barrett is an acquired taste. But I love his whimsical Englishness ... Oh yes, you mentioned Kris Needs before. I'd certainly shake him by the hand if I met him. He seemed to be living a great life when he edited Zigzag, mixing with bands like the Clash, Blondie and the Flamin' Groovies as friends and not just as the geeky journalist tagging along ... These Top 10 Records videos are nearly all interesting. Thanks for commenting.
I really liked how you did your top ten. Not a lot of explanation before, just a brief statement that all of this is subjective, and secondly you didn't try to talk down or impress everyone with your vast knowledge of music. In short you seem like the type of guy in whom it would be enjoyable to sit back and just listen to records with.
Hi Carl - Nice to see The Clash. I was disappointed with this record when it came out, but I like it much better now. It's sure better that Cut the Crap! Believe it or not, I have no Byrds (or Flamin' Groovies) in my collection, which is something I should fix. You have given me some records to think about 🙂
Hi Brian. The Clash's career is very frustrating - especially 'Cut The Crap' (with the exception of 'This Is England'), down to the involvement of manager Bernie Rhodes. It's a pity Jones and Strummer didn't just reform the band, as they soon became friends again ... You should definitely get some Byrds.
Are you familiar with The 101ers, the band Joe Strummer was with before the Clash, there’s a great album of there material from that period 1974 to 1976 and even some live tracks, very raw and an essential listen since your a Joe Strummer fan! I used to collect Zigzag, they invented the rock tree, I remember 😊. I have the Pirates album Skull Wars, it has some live tracks from the Hope & Anchor pub in Islington London, I lived just a 5 minute walk away, from 1969 to 1977, saw them and many other great bands, like The Police, Kilburn and the High Roads etc, great days 🎉
Hi Roy. Thanks for subscribing. It's really appreciated ... I bought a couple of singles by the 101ers, and also the 'Elgin Avenue Breakdown' LP when they first came out. I've not listened to the LP for a long while. I must give it another listen - especially the live tracks ... Yes, Pete Frame came up with the rock family tree. Unfortunately I struggle to read most of them in my old Zigzags, as the writing is so small. I still enjoy digging out old copies of Zigzag ... You were so lucky to live in Islington back in the 70s. I never got to see the Pirates or Ian Dury ... Do you know the TH-cam channel 'Jim Driver'. He has posted a few videos about the London pub rock scene which are interesting. Cheers, Carl
@@carltweed942 HaHa, I still have some old issues of OZ magazine, try reading that, such amazing art and graphics for the time! It’s possible to archive all the issues on line now! OZ is so of it’s time, found it very illuminating as a young adolescent teenager!
@@roygoad2870 I've not got any copies of OZ or IT. I've seen pictures online, and they do look incredible. They sell for quite a lot - more than I'm prepared to pay.
Hi Dave, I don't know why a lot of critics don't rate 'Combat Rock'. It's a special album for me ... I've seen your video for the Vinyl Tag 2024 on the TV, along with a few other Vinyl Tag videos. I'll be posting a reply when I watch it again on my laptop. All the best from the UK, Carl
I'm glad it's not just me that has problems finding records ... I think it might be the in-built snobbery of music critics that means 'Combat Rock' isn't loved more. The same thing applies to Tim Buckley's 'Greetings From L.A." ... I love 60s psych, but some bands their signature sound is so strong that I don't feel like a psych-style production works ... Thanks Richie for watching and commenting. It's really appreciated.
My list: Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon Supertramp - Crime of the century Dire Straits - Sultans of swing Steely Dan - Can´t buy a thrill The Beatles - Sgt Pepper´s Metallica - Black Album The Smiths - The queen is dead Marillion - Misplaced Childhood Pavlov´s dog - Pampered Menial Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood. Peace.
Some interesting choices. I picked up a CD of Pavlov's Dog's 3rd album in a charity shop a year or so ago; you've reminded me that I need to listen to 'Pampered Menial' on TH-cam.
Intrigued by your choice as a member of the older part of the vc - great history lesson carl - wow i lost my zig zag collection when i moved to thailand in 1993 - pacific i have a copy rarely gets a listen - forever changes high up on my top 10 1967 th-cam.com/video/WM7kFx7u8hM/w-d-xo.html Revisted Top 10 for 1967 Upload 2023 - by the way my latest vid neglected by youtube and i assume never seen on notifications to you Yellow Moon Neville Brothers 1989 th-cam.com/video/qVnsiGoXaIY/w-d-xo.html - those 2 byrds albums are 5 star I saw The Pirates in a small club by the River Trent in Nottingham way back in 1982 I think - lots of booze has extinguished my memory of it other than the rock n roll feel Mick Green was fast
Hi John. Thanks for watching ... I still, even now, regularly dip into my Zigzag collection ... When Brian Wilson was mostly out of action, from the late 60's to the mid 70's, the rest of the band stepped up to the plate; none more so than Dennis Wilson ... I saw your review of 1967 when it was posted ... That's really cool that you got to see The Pirates.

Wow! That's praise indeed. Thank you for your comment. It's really appreciated.

Intrigued by your choice as a member of the older part of the vc - great history lesson carl - wow i lost my zig zag collection when i moved to thailand in 1993 - pacific i have a copy rarely gets a listen - forever changes high up on my top 10 1967 th-cam.com/video/WM7kFx7u8hM/w-d-xo.html Revisted Top 10 for 1967 Upload 2023 - by the way my latest vid neglected by youtube and i assume never seen on notifications to you Yellow Moon Neville Brothers 1989 th-cam.com/video/qVnsiGoXaIY/w-d-xo.html - those 2 byrds albums are 5 star
I saw The Pirates in a small club by the River Trent in Nottingham way back in 1982 I think - lots of booze has extinguished my memory of it other than the rock n roll feel Mick Green was fast
Hi John. Thanks for watching ... I still, even now, regularly dip into my Zigzag collection ... When Brian Wilson was mostly out of action, from the late 60's to the mid 70's, the rest of the band stepped up to the plate; none more so than Dennis Wilson ... I saw your review of 1967 when it was posted ... That's really cool that you got to see The Pirates.
