Gave them a listen on Spotify. Sounded pretty good late 60s sound. Precincts was cool… great video. Cheers, Jack

Great video. Will check them out later. Cheers

Nice sleeve though.

great description of Power Pop! at the beginning! I had to write it down! I've been getting to a little more appreciation of PP in the past few months from the music that I listen ( guitarpop, C86 and indiepop) and now i really enjoy listening to all these new old songs to my ears! I am more leaning into rediscovering Powerpop vs MOD, who I think have some similar qualities but the latter just makes me more curious on checking out underground bands. Thanks for this video!

Great tag Tony! It’s was a great story… it had humour, intrigue and celebrities behaving badly. Great to see Shuggie Otis being shown. I’d love to pick up that LP. I was a big fan of Heaven or Las Vegas when I was in High School… loved my HoL T-shirt too! Never heard of Angel Witch, but looks cool. Need to give Jigsaw a listen too. Oooh … love that Nazz debut… tremendous stuff! Liked and subbed. Cheers, Jack

Nice one there. Really cool with the signed photo. Bad luck with the priest albums. Angel Witch albums a true classic. Cheers

Great video! I love that Joan Armatrading album. I had never heard of "Familia De Lobos" before, but after seeing you talk about it, I went and listened to the album and now want to snag a copy! Thanks. Angel Witch! Yes! I'm new to your channel as well as new to the VC. I posted my first video about 14 days ago. It was my response to the Noble Records Summer Tag. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to your next posting. Cheers. Bobby

1p for Jigsaw...now that's a bargain! Paid £30 for mine. Great lp and their debut is even better (first Keef sleeve design as well). Love that Shuggie Otis lp as well...what a talent. Enjoyed the vid... especially the cock pun 😁. Cheers Nige

Had you thought of getting a cheap crosley style record player for anything trashed or not wrecking your proper turntable? That's what I do then it's also portable which I find very handy.

Nice entry Mr. Shelf. I showed a different rooster in my entry. I have a stack of Armatrading which were all cheap as chips, she’s fantastic. Have you ever thought of trying to get into Eel Pie? Being in that room would be once in a lifetime. Always love you showing bands I’ve never heard of. Cheers.

Starting my watch of this now. Would have loved to have met you during our recent London VC Record Store & Pub crawl two weeks ago. A fun week in London. Cheers!

Why are you omitting the godfathers of “Power Pop” from the Sixties, Seventies, Eighties? You should know better! It can’t be happenstance that you’re stuck on ‘79 and ‘99. You seem to be focusing on mostly obscure bands. Why so many references to The (overrated) Beach Boys? Hype is more powerful than the Truth. And, why no solo music artists? You stuck your neck out way too far. Thank the Gods that You included Cheap Trick.

Very good tag and I agree completely about Joan Armatrading.

Check these out : THE DBS STANDS FOR DECIBELS + THE DBS -REPERCUSSION .......SPARKS - PROPAGANDA ......BIG STARS 1ST 2 ALBUMS....CRACK THE SKY- WHITE MUSIC {songs , skin deep + techno generation } ....HENRY GROSS - PLUG ME INTO SOMETHING { songs dixie spiderman, southern band, tommorrows memory lane } . THE RAVYNS { Baltimore band, song, raised on the radio, rhytym of the heart }

So no music ?

I've been touting Storm - "Storm" since it came out to fellow hard rock geeks but I've always stood alone - until you pulling it off your shelves here! Right on, man! And, I agree with you that they needed a producer to reign them in and tighten up the sound - and it leaves the listener with a sense of 'if only they....'. Still, for all its overheated ambition and free ranging, it's a keeper. I'm guessing you've talked about this elsewhere but the self-titled album from late 70s Seattle hard rockers, 1994 is a MUST to talk about...amazing Jack Douglas production and Brad Whitford(Aerosmith) is all over the place laying down a wall of classic Whitford rhythm beds(and their bass player jaw dropping). The lead singer, Karen Lawrence, had/has an amazing range on full display - and this one should been huge b/c is fell right into the Heart world of the late 70s. And, dude! Pulling Ursa Major down from the walls...brilliant. Now, my Moxy mainstay will always be the 3rd one, "Ridin' High", just 80% strong, hard rocking material - and "Wet Suit" from Moxy II is a cranker. Keep it up!

How did you skip over The Beat and their album "The Beat" from 1979? They had to change the name from The Beat to The Paul Collins Beat because there was another band called The Beat from England who had to change their name to The English Beat.

Hey There - RUclips just now served me up your show from 3 years ago - and, first off, really cool to see two bands from my label on your list(Not Lame Recordings) and arguably one more(though, not technically), your #1...Jellyfish "Spilt Milk"(Not Lame released the "Fan Club" 4-CD box set in 2002). Second, your tastes very and truly much align with my own...."Screams" being there? Well, RIGHT ON, man! The first Cheap Trick album being your choice to represent the band? Well, that would be my very hard choice to nudge to the top spot, as well . Grass Show? Yes! Merrymakers? Yes, again. But the cool one to see your life up...Straw. Whoa, nice surprise, that one. Loved that album, too - hard to import at a good cost to the U.S. back then, but my distro arm of Not Lame did. Tough to get folks to drop $30 on something they couldn't hear first(which was the case back in 1999). Lastly, you are a true music loving pantheist with your passions in so many other genres! Very well done, good sir! Gonna be tracking you(in a good way, not a creep one) going forward - keep it all up!

Spilt Milk is a great album with one major flaw. Sebrina, Paste and Plato. One of the most annoying songs ever recorded. Hate it immensely. But still better than Ignorance Is Bliss. Nobody’s perfect 😂

Can't be vexed at that lot mate, especially for the prices. I'm a big fan of the Jonesy lps. They don't get much love but I prefer them to a lot of other bigger names from the time. The Love LP contains one of my favourite tracks by them, which you mentioned...I Still Wonder. You probably know that the tracks are the leftovers from Four Sail. Signed DC is on their debut btw but obviously rerecorded for Out Here. Cheers Nige

never heard of any of them

I would certainly grab Badger, Jonesy, Budgie, OMD and Thin Lizzy, all great finds and I'd really love to see Rosalie Cunningham, especially in a small venue, I'm jealous of that!

Posies? Teenage Fanclub?

I have thre 45 feel it.

I just pick some bands i like(their albums is good). The Motors,Fotomaker,Off Broadway,Pezband,Tommy Tutone...

GREAT ALBUM. THANKS FOR POSTING.👍🥃

Haven't heard of these guys. Thanks for the introduction. - Chris

Fantastic selection and I’m lucky enough to own them all. Trying to pick a top ten is nigh on impossible for me though. There are lots of other bands who fit the mould and some who have elements of prog, pomp, AOR and hard rock who some might argue about what category to put them in. As long as the elements mentioned above are there it doesn’t matter if the music is good. The reply from ssrocker mentions many that are essential too and I recommend everything on his list. Regarding Zon, I always thought their singer sounds like Michael Sadler from Saga. The second Touch album was released in Japan on cd and is excellent but not quite as good as the debut. Their 3rd one from recent years is good but not up to the standard of the others.

If you don’t know already, the Deadringer album was a one off from a ban featuring members of The Alice Cooper band and Blue Oyster Cult. Great melodic hard rock. I’ve been looking for a decent copy of the Bluebird album for decades. I have a battered copy that had no sleeve and cost 10p 20 years ago but it’s in very poor shape.

thanks for the video.. i'll check this one out.

I didn't know this one but I've had a listen and I'd certainly grab it if I came across it, nice one!

Wow, this is one of your best picks. I’m loving this album! Thanks for the tip👍🏻 Yeah, the vocals are so so but the music is so eclectic and haunting. Fly The Night sounds like it could’ve been in “the Nightmare Before Christmas”

Great video !! I got the Tucky Buzzard, and the moxy album .The moxy album just a classic with the great Tommy bolin on uncredited guitars ! Again great video cheers!

nice finds!

Are you rooting for Uganda?

Looks like a very successful record fair. Lots of bargains there. Cheers.

Hey man. That record fair looked really cool. Great cover on Bluebeard lp. Alamo is pretty solid. Less Than Zero is one of my favorite 80s movies. You have a decent haul there. Cheers!

Great video, always find a few new things to look for each time I watch one of your videos. Think the other Tin Tin album is Astral Taxi, I have them both. Found Tangerine Peel in a charity shop in Birkenhead a few years ago.

I love that Kansas album cover! Reminds me of Lon Chaney Jr😉

Looks like a fantastic show. I love that Triangle album. And the first JA is that early folk-rock before they really did psychedelia. Love it!

A lot of unknowns for me, I'm very curious about Crippled Black Phoenix.

Did I miss when you said rasberries?

Back cover on Ted Gärdestad is actually Kenneth Gärdestad his brother who made lyrics.....

My German mate is Dub Addiction. Dengue Fever out of California are excellent. Cambodian space project are a charity set up by an aussie guy. Sinn Sisamouth was the King of pre khmer rouge music. As was Ros Sereysothea. Both were killed under the khmer rouge. A few Records/tapes survived. Quality not very good. A yank grabbed them and put out Cambodia Rocks in the 90s.

Guess my most pulled albums have to be Rush - Signals Streets - 1st the AOR classic Tom Waits - Foreign Affairs King's X - Gretchen Goes To Nebraska Joy Division - Closer NIN - Broken It Bites - Once Around The World Ice Cube - Death Certificate Sparklehorse - It's A wonderful life Kansas - Power

Sorry it took so long to find you. Instant subscription, mate !! The top 20 power pop list came up on my recommendations this morning and i loved it , lots of stuff to investigate but YES to jellyfish in particular. I shared it with my great friend in London who actually met Roger Manning Jr before a gig. We are both longtime jellyfish obsessives. Another fantastic power pop gem that i bought on import on release is Gregg Alexander Michigan Rain and after the meh of the new radicals he wrote hits for various people ....

Vinted eh? Always thought that was a middle class eBay so you could prove me wrong...... Going out the back in a charity shop chances are if no one prices them up you'll get them dirt cheap that's what we like 😁 I'd have grabbed that Swedish one on the basis of the cover. Out of everything the Cambodia one grabbed me as i don't think I've any music from that part of Asia. I onow there are comps about but often very expensive in normal shops. West London is more populated that here so you've got plenty more scope, i think mostly i see classical and mainstream pop no one wants.

I've been looking for Rock Workshop but I have to go a long way for a decent record store or charity shop.

Very cool finds! I’d have grabbed that Papoose LP on the merits of the cover alone. And I’d def have grabbed that Cambodian Psych comp. Can you imagine living under a regime where playing an instrument or being in a band could get you jailed or even killed?! You know if they were willing to risk their freedom or their lives that they were def passionate about their art. Kind of makes you appreciate that record a bit more! That Magic Kids LP looks cool! Love the bright yellow wax! I’d likely have blindly grabbed those Ted album also LoL! Cool pick ups Look forward to seeing what else you’ve recently acquired! Peace ✨✌️👽✨

Pugh was Swedish. That album is legendary over here.
