- Record hunting in Bath, me and the wife hit the historic city hard trying to find records to add to my collection. We hit fairs, shops and markets to find those grails. Stick around to see what I brought home and some big news at the end.

Happy Anniversary, Great job showing some out of the box bands and albums. Something many vinyl collectors do not know about. great turn ons.
When you showed these albums....I paused and dug into them and gave a listen. So the turn ons are greatly appreciated.
I also enjoy showing these type of bands and exposing them to Music fans. cheers
Hi Steve! That’s great that you stopped and checked them out, hopefully you found something you liked 😅
I Try to show the more obscure stuff that people don’t know about.
Thanks for watching 👍
Happy anniversary!! Y'all are an adorable couple. Killer finds. A lot I'm unfamiliar with but you snagged my favorite Patti Smith album!
Hiya my brother from across the pond! I think it’s her best also. Oh I’m glad I can recommend something that you haven’t heard of before
I love Bath Martin. Looks like you struck gold with the weather. I got that Smith album when it was first released, one of her best. Also saw her the year before at CBGBs. Glad you found another Dr. Brown album, and with the background information. Hope you get to Amoeba. Cheers.
Thanks Jack. Yes fingers crossed with Ameoba 🤞🤞✌️
First video I’ve seen of yours. Great on stage presence, visual storytelling, and knowledgeable and passionate music appreciation . Glad to be following! Greetings from Tokyo!
Hey Brian! Yes! I also just discovered your channel through the summer vinyl tag, I will check out some of your content soon 👍
Nice finds.
Happy Anniversary, continued blessings!
Thanks Roland 👍
Great video, Martin. Happy Anniversary to you and your lady 🥂
Cheers Glenn 👍
It looks like Bath has some good sources for records, particularly Green Park Station and the record shop inside that appeared well stocked. Interesting purchases, as always Martin, titles I have not come across and I will check them out.
If you are planning another day trip I might suggest visiting Chichester, it is a nice city. Most importantly though - there is a record fair held quarterly in the centre of the city by a different organiser to Soton and different sellers stall there. George posted a video a few months ago showing his visit to two small independent record shops in the city and he commented that prices were reasonable at those. A good day out could cover the fair and shop visits!
Yes Chichester has been on the cards for a while 😅
By the way that copy of Lynyrd Skynyrd was great!!! It was super minty, freebird has never sounded better 👍 👍 👍
Nice one - was going to go into bath earlier this year but it was torrential rain so didn’t get there ! Will need to rectify that 🎉
You should!
Is the fair on?
Nice haul Martin . Thanks for the tour and showing your albums . Cheers mate
Thanks Craig 👍
Brilliant haul there Martin, really excellent stuff.
Sacrifice by Black Widow is a gem. Gets almost hilarious at times doesn't it, but a true one off. What was the seller thinking charging £85 on the first copy you passed up? Madness!
Bath is a great and beautiful city, must get back there at some point (got engaged there). If you like that sort of place, I highly recommend Oxford - equally as lovely.
Happy anniversary to you both 🙂
Cheers George! I’ll add Oxford to the list😅
Hi Martin,
A newbie here and really enjoyed your video.
Happy Anniversary 🎉
Thank you for Black Widow recommendation. I must confess never hearing of them before. However listened to Sacrifice many times now and ordered a first edition online yesterday, with misprint. Love it.
@@eamonnhayes8552 hi eamonn! Gladded you like it, and thanks for the sub 👍
It’s amazing how the same the same thing happens to me and Nanci. Every time we go down to the Mojave desert there’s a pop up record show. Go figure! 🖖🚀
What a coincidence 😂
😂👌
Ha,ha. Recognise all the usual faces at the record fair. That stall at 1.30 is a really interesting chap from Bath.. He asked me to look after his stall for 5 minutes in Southampton and straight away someone tried to pinch a Rolling Stones albums .the look on his face when I caught him! Im a Patti Smith fan, got an autograpged first edition of her book..but never heard Radio Ethiopia.
Hiya Harris! You have to check out radio Ethiopia for me it’s one of her best.
A rolling stone album!!! 😂
I didn't make it to Bath on my last trip, which I realize was quite a while ago. Really great records (though some are new to me). I hope you make it to Amoeba. My wife went there a year ago and she got me a t-shirt because she couldn't figure out what record to get for me.
Hey Brian! Thanks for watching and subbing, check out the albums you haven’t seen before hopefully Iv recommended something you will like 🤞
Bath used to have more indy record shops stocking new & 2nd hand vinyl in the mid to late 70s & on into 80s.
Crusin' Records which morphed into Rubba Records was great for imports, rare records & reasonably priced secondhand vinyl.
Get hold of the 2nd Black Widow album, I prefer it, but it does have an uninspiring cover, which does not reflect the music on that album, I don't know what they were thinking when they chose that cover art & later covers similarly well below par.
Yes I definitely born in the wrong decade when it comes to music.
The 2nd black widow is still very much high on my want list and I agree that is better but does have a worser cover.
Thanks for watching 👍
Romeo Challenger - the drummer in Showaddywaddy was in Black Widow ☺️
Great drummer, thanks for watching David 👍
Magnificent city. Go there loads mainly for the rugby. Record shopping isn’t great though. I’m finding prices are ridiculous and consequently I’m hardly buying any records nowadays. Too overpriced. I picked up Black Widow at Bristol - first press for £4 a year ago! Found it underwhelming tbh. Revisited Radio Ethiopia recently. Pretty good. Love the UH Lp. Look at yourself is my favourite by them. Cheers fella
Only £4!!!! UK copy? Mine wasn’t that cheap but definitely cheaper than the one at the fair 😂. I’m going to have to start stalking you and fine these cheap records for myself.
@@martinthemartianvinyl uk copy. Vg+
I thought it was going to be doomy but I find it pretty lame tbh
Bath trip booked for September!
😮😮😮
Is the fair on when you go?
@@martinthemartianvinyl - not quite that clever! No - but trip around the record shops ok’d
A US promo of Patti Smith's best album . It was worth going to Bath just for that find .
Hiya Pete! It certainly was, I would travel across the country if I knew I would be getting that one 👍
If you’re really digging the scene out here. Try Serpent Power. Swinging folk rock psych lp extraordinaire! I think if you don’t have it you soon will! 🖖🚀
Oh I’ll definitely check them out, ✌️
I think the BBC had a big sell-off/auction of ex-library stuff earlier this year, hence the sudden glut of it, I reckon.
Yeah I know, I actually signed up for that auction and won…….. nothing. Everything went for far too much, but I thought some would reappear on eBay and it did!!! And I got some killer stuff for a lot cheaper than it did on the auction. I also keep seeing them when I go digging.
I don’t know if you are sub (please do if you haven’t) but I have mentioned the records I have gotten from the BBC library in my past videos. 👍
Can you tell me the prices you payed for the records please.
Hi Tim! Are you familiar with Discogs at all? I don’t really like talking about the costs, but the more expensive ones I paid for almost half of what it says on discogs and the cheaper records I paid no more than £15.
