Every time!

That's the idea

@@nicksvinylbutty5488 as the famous saying goes, it's the music stupid!... sometimes it's actually just there to be enjoyed for what it is, not simply the object. Cheers!

@JB-tn6ty yes, it's pretty good and has come up with some great stuff for me lately. Since I've done this video I've come across a few other good places, so maybe a part 2 if I ever get round to it. Cheers!

@@robwalkerletthemusicplay Hi Rob, Yes ut was a great day out... really nice to meet you and everyone else... all the best

@@Harrispilton22 it's a nice one... and technically it's a 12" ep which plays at 45, so it won't upset your 12" fixation! Cheers

@@mazzysmusic Hi Mazzy, thanks for inspiring a great day out... think of cholera, think of me! All the best

@Ed-Topo-108 I think your probably right about the clarinet, but basoon is such a fine word it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to use it! Plena definitely has the Cortijo sound, that's a good call. Cheers Ed

@@melomano4145hard to beat the bassoon!

Hi John, Starvue is a classic... not really worth it on original though. I really like Spacey. It sounds very different to a lot of other stuff I have. Need to be careful with Japanese music... it's a slippery slope! A shop specialising in Japanese imports has recently opened in Hoxton too, this could get messy! Cheers

@@zal226 cheers Zal.... there's some great reissues... so pleased to have them... all the best!

@@melomano4145. Thansk my friend 👍😉

@Harrispilton22 hi Harris, the deirdre wilson tabac is a classic... really love that one. I like the Mario bondi tune as well (of course you have it on 12 inch!)... its giving me slightly chris rea home for Christmas vibes, but that's not a bad thing. Great to see everyone this week, all the best

@OD-bo5jq great places if you like something different, cheers!

@@OleD-HH thanks!

me too!!! very good player.

@@iangee3311 that was a great place... I used to go there a lot... some great second hand stuff at great prices... sadly long gone now.

@slowpawstevet3676 the list of long lost London record shops is long... let's hold on to the ones that are left... cheers!

@@glen-scott I don't have that one, but it's a blast. Cheers!

@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893 my apologies. I'm trying not to get sucked in myself! Your right though, there is some absolute tosh on these records as well. I have resisted the urge to get too deep into the charity shops as there really is a limit to the amount of this stuff anyone needs. Cheers, Laurence

@nigelcampag1290 it's always quite a slog going thorough the cheap stacks... I really appreciate the titles you mentioned as it gives me something to look out for. Cheers!

Yes, I think the first editions come with a different cover. Great minds think alike! It's always worth a delve into the world of easy cheese, but there's so much forgettable stuff. It's handy to have the Internet to help. I wouldn't fancy trawling through charity shops in search of gold; it could take a lifetime. Cheers!

I'd expect nothing less! James Last seems to epitomise the polyester sophistication of the era. I'm quite sold on this version of Sun Goddess. It's a keeper. Cheers!

It's all about the rummaging, you never know what you might find! Charity shops only ever seem to turn up marching band music round these parts... all the best

Yeah that Tony Hatch record definitely reminded me of the Love Unlimited orchestra.

Yes, it really does. There's actually a vocal version of this by Screaming Jay Hawkins where he gurns and gurgles his way through... I prefer this one. Cheers!

@nigelcampag1290 that's a great one... been on my radar for a while, but a bit out of my league! Chicken feathers is another good one, I can't remember the singers name, but again, a megabucks record... I'll look out for the cheapies. Cheers!

@@melomano4145 Took me a long time to find a Blossom Dearie but it's one of those a dealer could just assume it's a cheapie and put out in their cheap bin. Hope you find one. The Sarah Vaughan tracks to check from those two lps btw are Evil Ways and Inner City Blues, both on YT of course. Cheers Nige

@@nigelcampag1290 will check them out. Cheers!

@miketomlin6040 Great, I'll check them out. I really enjoy this one, do a little exploring sounds good. I will consider myself forewarned about the hipsters choice!

I'm The One is great but it's not soulful funk as such. More in the electronic psych vein but still gets funky . It does sell for a few quid though.

@@nigelcampag1290 Hello Hipster.

@@miketomlin6040 Haha, back at ya mate. Although I bought it in the early 00s for £7 so that might make me pre-hipster?

@@nigelcampag1290 You are safe, a hipster record is overhyped, costs a lot and the muzak is poor, or at best average. MellowMan has one on his wall, the Mason effort!

@spectrum_archives Thanks, it's an interesting LP and she has a great voice. Cheers!

@drrhythmn glad you got a copy of Gloria Lynne, there's some great stuff there... I always try to spread the word on that LP. Enjoy!

@@melomano4145 the Gloria Lynne arrived today - wow! What an album - the title track is 🔥! Thank you for turning me onto it

@@drrhythmn it's a beauty... brings to mind warm summer evenings with long shadows. Hope to hear it on your show!

@magnuslarsson9161 it's a lovely one... Sadly a bit more than £5 outside Sweden, but I got it very reasonably a while ago. I wonder what other gems are hidden on Swedish cheap heat. Cheers!

@@melomano4145 Sadly i think "brexit" messed up a lot of record prices. I mean i used to buy so much stuff from the UK. But now i get hit with an extra 25% in taxes when importing to sweden. And i guess it is the same of for exampel Swedish records coming in to the UK. So that lone would make it more expensive.

@magnuslarsson9161 yes it's been a real pain... and I think discogs and Ebay have increased overseas charges so it's not really worth it anymore. I used to get stuff from the US and Europe and get some deals; not anymore!

@andyshacks7812 Cool, yes, I remember that Soul Brothers put out a 45 reissue recently. I'll look out for that one. Cheers!

@zal226 Thanks, Zal... It's a pleasure

Give it a go, I bet you've got loads of stuff to fit the bill. Cheers!

@johnmoreno96 yes... I have a great one from her. A bit more disco, but top stuff. Cheers!

@Ed-Topo-108 it says here John Mackenzie... great record though! Cheers

@grahamallen9393 cheers! Rats was a great loss, but upsidedown is pretty good. Not quite like all those great shops up north, but like I said it's probably best not to have them too close or else I'd get too carried away!

@tidybear101 I think it's probably best that way. If I had one of those shops on my doorstep, it could end in disaster. And it's a nice way to explore the nooks and crannies of the city. Cheers!

@davidstocker5736 it's all beautiful stuff... It's amazing that the Mizells managed to fit so much great work in that time. So many great productions they were involved in, and I keep discovering more. Cheers!

@johnmoreno96 I bet it's easy to get carried away... fortunately I don't have a shop right next door, but there are plenty of pubs, so you've given me a bright idea for this sunny evening. Cheers!

@johnmoreno96 yes, she's a real favourite of mine!

@jackblondie9424 there's some great stuff in there. I'd love to have a black and blues. The time might come. Do check out marlena shaw, she has a very rich body of work worth investigating. Cheers!

@@andyshacks7812 it's a great one... I held off the reissue and found this a while back for the same price... a classic record all the same. Cheers!

@@melomano4145 Yeah think I’ll look out for an original. Sometimes they mess about with the sound too much for my liking on reissues, though having said that, my reissue copy sounds pretty good! 👍

@andyshacks7812 I've replaced reissues with originals a few times, and usually you can feel a difference, but more than anything, it's the romance of an original copy that gives it an extra hit. I've heard that bluenote reissues are pretty good on the whole, so there might not be a big difference in sound.

@AsTheTableTurns if you don't know Marlena Shaw, you've got some great music to discover. Check outbher Spice of Life album for a real classic. I'm a big fan of Bobbi Humphrey as well and need to explore more. It's always so exquisitely produced with a great sound. Cheers!

@miketomlin6040 Haha, classic Tomlin put down! I'm not reaching for the Kenny G just yet, though my taste for quiet storm slow jams is sending me into dangerous territory. As for Guns n Roses and Bowie, they are there for the sake of domestic harmony. The missus is big into metal and classic rock, so as there is balance on the soundsystem, there is balance on the wall. Cheers!

@@melomano4145 Put Down? I was simply pointing out the sensibility that might find Humphrey's effort of value may well find similar sounds in another genre to be so, albeit not that far removed from hers. I remember you saying before er indoors had a penchant for cockrock! That's an interesting psychodynamic, perhaps she should do a video explaining the appeal of it to her? A person I see often identifies as a 7th wave feminist or somesuch, in her vinyls I found a Black Sabbath Lp, I pointed out this was likely problematic vis a vis her overt value system.

@magnuslarsson9161 Yes, Marlena Shaw is a true great. I'd really love to have those LPs you mentioned. There's always good stuff to be found on them. I'd really like to get an original blacks and blues, but might have to settle for the reissue. Cheers!

@zal226 thanks zal... I knew you'd understand 👍

@brucevair-turnbull8082 yes I've been to sugarhill cafe a few times. Some good stuff there. There's a long list of long gone shops. It would be interesting to see a map of London's ghost records shops. Cheers!

@@melomano4145 One shop which resurrected itself is Revolution Records on Penge High St. I used to go in there in 1977 to look at all the punk singles. Two years ago it returned.

@JAKEMANS-o1s all good grooves, and quite afew versions of those 2 as well... cheers!

@@JAKEMANS-o1s cheers, that's a good one!

@@garethfitzpatrick3932 I've heard great things about that place, but never been. I think it's time for another exploration up north. Cheers!
