Hello Rob. Great showings, and nice to meet up other VC'ers. Wanted to take a moment to say 'thank you' again for your very early support of my channel. Been a few months now, meeting some great people and having a blast! I appreciate it! 😎🎶 Ed.
Hi Ed it was fun meeting mazzy and everyone was so welcoming.. when I first started my channel i remember other channels mentioning mine and it encouraged me to continue😀.. thanks for watching 👍
Hi Rob - This video passed me by, somehow! I saw a couple of other videos about this meet-up. That was quite the guest list. I am going to have to have a listen to The Coral. Really awesome that you got to hang out with Mazzy.
Hi Bryan the coral are such a good band hooks galore, one of my favourite British bands this century.. the meet up was great and I had no tolls to pay 😀🚘
Whaddayamean, Harris Pilton isn't his real name? Suits him so well, probably better than his other one. 😅 Nice video Rob (it is 'Rob', isn't it?). Enjoyed your tales of meeting Mazzy and the rest of the gang. That trip next year to The Netherlands sounds like it's worth investigating, especially when car travel is an option. As for Oasis, I feel a similar way about them. Although I never saw them, they came through like a whirlwind and I bagged all their albums. All these years later I find that I listened to them so much first time around, I'm not that bothered about them in 2024-25. Worth adding that I really like The Coral too, but don't have that album...yet.
Hi David .. there’s a few people who have mentioned they’d be interested in a trip to the Netherlands, . I’ll keep you informed it’s the April 25 fair we’re looking into .. meeting mazzy was funny I knew he’d find me on that Monday. And I was right 😀. Thanks for watching 👍
hi Rob, sounds like you had a great time in London mate, and meet up with Mazzy also, cool! i have that "taking liberties" album, i met Elvis back in the late 1980s and he signed it for me - Lloyd
My goodness Rob, I’ve never seen yo so happy! You seem like a kid in a candy store! I think Father Christmas should see this video! Because if he does, you’re a shoe-in for his ‘nice’ list for sure!❤
Hi rob great video that’s funny mazzy and i had to get tge round in again lol im a xlarge now too lol. That coral album is brilliant they are such a good band and yeah you should definitely get more of theirs on vinyl. I was also in queue for six hours to buy an oasis tickets but when i got through tickets had gone up to 375 so that was me out . Im not that bothered. Love their first teo definitely and whats the story. Must look for that elvis Costello album as dont have . Cheers joe
Hi Joe , I’ve many coral CDs I’ve just never bought any records by them but that’s going to change .. as I mentioned I attempted to buy oasis tickets but it wasn’t to be …. Though I’ve recently added some more oasis to my collection so hopefully you get to see that soon .. thanks for watching cheers Joe 👍
Fantastic weekend Rob. You definitely met some legends. Wish I could have joined you. VC meet ups are the best. I just showed that Costello record a few weeks ago. Great stuff. Cheers.
Hi jack my apologies .. I’m way behind watching videos.. it was a great meet up as you know meeting fellow vc people is a great experience.. thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Really enjoyed all the vids from Mazzy’s visit! That Starsailor album is a good one. I picked up an original a few months back. Agree with you on the 2000s bands. Razorlight, Editors, Starsailor, Libertines, Elbow, Doves, all great bands!
Hi .. not many people on TH-cam show British bands from the early 2000s Records but elbow and doves are 2 bands I love ! And there’s many more .. mazzys london videos were so well done it was great to finally meet up with him .. thanks for watching and commenting 👍
£5 Chinese ! Bargain .. always pays to check the bill down south 😂 And that trip to the mega fair sounds enticing- on my bucket list - think Dave Atkinson might be up for that too !
@@vinylrichie007 .. the coral are well worth investing.. pretty successful in the uk over the last 20 years ..,it’s always surprising discovering who’s know and unknown in the states .. thanks for watching pat 👍
Sounds like a great weekend, Rob. Coral Island is a great album. All their albums are great, so consistent. Well done getting that Chinese for a fiver… bargain of the weekend👌 Fancy that record fair in Hertogenbosch myself!
@@wax_n_wine hi Alexander. John the 6 inch pianist was the guy who arranged everything.. we always relay on John 👍😀. Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice for you to have the meet up, sounds like you had a blast Rob. The Coral were fabulous when I saw them in Birmingham a couple of years ago..not familiar with their later material, but Magic and Medicine is a classic.
Hi Rob .. it was a fun meet up everyone was chilled and lots of fun was had … I’d like to see the coral live .. I wish I’d seen them at the time you did .. thanks for watching and commenting 👍
I have a tear😢. It was a wonderful week and I agree, it was great meeting and hanging with you. The full VC day was fantastic except that Chinese food was shite. We should have gone to Chinatown. No way I could keep up with you all in the pub, but I gave it a shot. Thanks again for everything. Cheers 🇬🇧.
Hi Rob! I have a CD copy of that Starsailor LP. I like that Sister Ray logo. Abbey Road coffee mug! I love Guy Garvey's singing with Elbow. What a terrific voice!
Hi Mike it’s fun picking up memorabilia when you visit shops etc .. and being with the guys from the vc made it such a special weekend .. thanks for watching and commenting Mike 👍
Awesome finds Rob mate; I saw Costello on Saturday when he played with Steve Nieve; really good gig 😀🍿🎸🎶 I definitely recommend his 2022 album ‘The Boy Named If’; absolutely fantastic stuff there man 🙌 ‘Definitely Maybe’ is an all time classic; I need to get some more Oasis on Vinyl; nice Elbow additions to the collection aswell 😀
Hi Sam I noticed tickets were available for Costello and I was tempted. he was 70 2 days after mazzy and it’s great to see he’s back on the road .. in 79 he was incredible.. as I mentioned I can’t get enough of him lately.. pleased to give those elbow 12inches a home. 20 minutes of music on each one .. thanks for watching and commenting Sam 👍
Starsailer nice pick up, I remember buying that album when it came out, glad those elbow singles found the right home, as for Mazzy? Never heard of him
Hi Simon , always enjoyed those early starsalior albums .. strangely they don’t get mentioned much on TH-cam...I’m on the lookout for their debut .. cheers Simon 👍
When the VC finally cannonise Mazzy, the miracle he performed of bumping into you in Sister Ray will be used as evidence for his Sainthood. Nice video, and good to hear your side of events.
Sounds like a blast Rob, nice one!! 🙂 I can totally relate to what you said about seeing Abbey Rd. It's kind of like - is that it? Has to be done though. Bucket list type stuff for any music fan.
Hi George I agree visiting abbey road is a bucket list event .. though I never thought about it that way … 🤷♂️. Been enjoying your channel this year. out and about with George 😀. Have a great weekend thanks for watching 👍
I need to pick up that Oasis album. Use to have a CD of it. I love meeting up with VC members, many don’t have channel but they collect. Video makers have all been super nice. I just figured record collectors are genuinely nice people.
Hi Steve , oasis’s debut is one of my favourites of the 90s , I also played it heavily in the 90s. I’ve seen you meeting up with people from the vc over the years and you’ve always been positive about those meetings .. I’m so happy I discovered you 6 years ago Steve .. thanks for watching 👍
Hi Rob, glad you enjoyed your London visit. It was great to meet you (and everyone else). Are those Elbow 12” tracks different from the album versions? The pub we visited was the Blue Posts. One of the few pubs in Soho that’s hardly changed since the first time I went in there 43 Years ago. Talking of which, I think I owe you a pint, so next time you’re down - it’s my round. Cheers, D
@@David-Ellis hi David I should have spoken properly about those elbow 12inches but I usually like my videos to be around 15 minutes so I was wrapping thing up .. they both have extended mixes 20 minutes of music on each one .. I’ll let you know in advance when I’m next visiting London as I’d not forgotten you owe me a pint 🍺 🤷♂️😀👍
I know what you mean with regard to London prices, I got ripped off last year and would not leave the restaurant until my bill was rectified. Glad you had a good time with the VC, always nice meeting up with friends. I saw you in the distance at the Stockport Record Fair. I was buying a record at the time and then went to search you out, but you had gone….never mind.
Great video Rob. I’ve had both that Coral and not least Starsailor on my wishlist for a long while (contemporaries with other favorites like Delays and The Thrills). But they cost silly money up here. Best prices tends to be amazon UK and HMV but after brexit those prices aren’t the same when I go to the page where I’m supposed to pay… 🙄 (And here in Norway we’re not in the EU anyhow and they’ve removed all the nice limits we used to have so now its import duties and taxes from Krone 1!

Hi jimmy it was a fun weekend I’m so glad I went .. now my sons in London I’m able to visit London more regularly on the whole price seem pretty reasonable .. thanks for watching 😀
the coral when they appear they had a very nice song but after it becomes a type of sound very english not bad and not totally out of my taste ,even though i tried to listen to their records, sometimes a nice song appears, starsailor gets me depressed how melancolic are the words and the voice even more makes one feel sad but if it´s their goal i think they done it perfect, rough trade had a lot of good bands , the label is it the store from the old label ,well not that old, Oasis did interest me more at the start , sounded like real english rock. That is a nice elvis costello record with all the old songs, i do go often to London as i have family there but i never thought of keeping the bags from the stores maybe i´ll start now, screaming females, i think i have enough at home so i would pass those
Lovely video Rob. As I said my only slight regret was from about the Chinese onwards its all a bit of a blur! It was pretty much a perfect day bar me recreating a scene from Fawlty Towers in my hotel later (well actually two hotels 🤣) If Den Bosch is a goer then put me down!. Everyone was brilliant!

Sounds like a great weekend, Rob. Coral Island is a great album. All their albums are great, so consistent. Well done getting that Chinese for a fiver… bargain of the weekend👌 Fancy that record fair in Hertogenbosch myself!
Hi jack I’ll let you know if plans develop regarding den Bosch.. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t happen.. 👍
