    I don't even collect vinyl (I am a huge music fan but only buy hi-res digital these days) but have just discovered your channel and been binging all of your videos. Your grandad is an absolute diamond! Absolutely love the content. Used to collect old video games myself and currently old books, so completely understand the appeal of the thrill of the chase and finding stuff you want "out in the wild".

    The original copies of Killer (which that is) came with a calendar attached through perforations. Complete albums with the calendar still attached are quite rare I think.

    Crazy Beat is a great shop, been going there a couple of times a year for ages (when I can brave the M25!) . Those bargain bins you went through are also excellent for soul and funk 12" singles. That was owner Gary you were served by, always excellent service here, they have thousands of records on discogs that are not out on the shop floor but are always happy to look up anything for you there and then, thorougly recommend a visit, parking is easy in the nearby car park just behind the petrol station opposite.

    Morning James. I would say that waiting for an original copy is worthwhile. I found to my cost Specifically with Kate Bush. I bought copies of reissue's when the whole collection was put out and was disappointed by how the sound was different to the original. Only my opinion of course. Bide your time James it will be worth it. All the best, Floss.

    In the US that Beatle Red album would be 20 to 30 dollars . 8 dollars US would be a steal. I think that shop had great prices. Enjoyed the excursion very much. I subbed your channel btw Your grandfather is a wealth of classic rock knowledge.

  • @nigelcampag1290
    @nigelcampag1290 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Fairport was a 2nd pressing btw. The first 2 Alice Cooper lps are great psych rock so well worth owning. Killer did look like a nice sleeve so worth the money, even if the vinyl had some wear. Ditto with the Groundhogs. Circus LP on the wall would have had my attention and the KPM. I love The Beatles but I just don't get the multiple purchasing of the same LP, especially later pressings.

    • @stevenimeson902
      @stevenimeson902 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @robertwatt4248
    @robertwatt4248 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You potentially missed a bargain on a classic album. Alice's Killer looked intact with calender and the vinyl looked mint. You should have checked the year of the calender as it was changed to reflect the subsequent years it was repressed, up until 1974 I think. If it was a 1971 calender it would be a first pressing. Cant believe Poppa Dave isnt a YES fan!!!!Love watching your uploads,

  • @robbrook224
    @robbrook224 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The reason why Elton's 12th album is called A Single Man is because it was the first album written without Bernie Taupin who was working with Alice Cooper on the From The Inside album around the same time.
