Hi, David, thanks for another great video. Imaging my surprise when your daughter pulled out Sky 3, which is in my tiny vinyl collection. Their classical, jazz rock style really worked for me in the late seventies early eighties so much so I bought their first four albums. Can't wait for the next random pick, Prog on.
Well done for not giving in to the temptation to say "not that random, pick the one next to it!"😉 One of Todd's more unusual albums that I love is Acapella. Certainly can be criticised as gimmicky but some great songs.
Something not directly related to this episode, but relevant from the music point of view. A while ago I saw a you tube video about four young 20-something Brits travelling around the UK in a car and they came to Newcastle (your Geordie city) and made a comment about how there is no one famous from here! I thought at once about Sting and The Animals. Seems younger generations are not too aware of what has gone before even though it's not that long ago. Will The Beatles be forgotten too?
Interesting as usual. I was never a fan of Bonnie Tyler but she wasn’t bad on Islands from Mike Oldfields Wind Chimes. Marty Robbins Gunfighter Ballards is a great album but Eddie Arnold’s Cattle Call album is even better. It’s a terrific cowboy songs album without any poor tracks.
I've just checked that Eddie Arnold album on Amazon. £16 on CD. I didn't pull the trigger(!) but it's now in my wishlist. There's a second-hand record shop near here that often has loads of old country in its cheap bins. I'm going to be on the lookout for that one. Ta for the tip.
@@davidatkinson-lifematters4826 I think I picked the CD up on ebay for £5. I have the vinyl that I listened to as a child but bought a mint second copy again from eBay for £10. It’s available on Apple Music as well. It’s an album that I have enjoyed for 60 years and never ever get tired of.
I am curious about your collecting. You clearly have a very large collection and seem to retain things, even if you don't play them, or in some cases have never heard them. I wonder how much time you get to listen to music - you clearly have a life of other interests. I have found that over time I have got rid of a lot of music. Partly due to my taste changing and partly for practical purposes - having kids, moving house. Sure there are somethings I regret getting rid of but sometimes I got them on CD, and sometimes I heard them again (thanks spotify) and remembered why I got rid of them. Do you ever take a look at what you have and think some of this can go?
I do Mark. Way back in the seventies I sold a number of albums to fund the purchase of new ones, obviously selling cheap and buying only a few replacements. Since then, I often thought about thinning-out the collection, but have failed to do so. One idea is to sell most of the vinyl and revert to my CD collection (to save space, obviously), but the experience of deliberately sitting in my listening chair and putting on the vinyl commands more of my attention (and delivers a richer experience) than listing to CDs with my finger on the skip button. I do have hundreds (maybe a couple of thousand!) of classical LPs that are earmarked to go first....when I get around to doing it!
Couldn't agree more with 'you can call me Al ' from graceland, for me it ruins the album in the same way that money for nothing and the walk of life ruin dire straits brothers in arms.

Thanks again for sharing this fantastic collection of music with us 👍
Love this random concept, Mr Atkinson. Always interesting to hear your comments about good music and great songs.
Thanks Stephane. 👍🏻

I've just made a new video David. First one in a while, so I'm hoping to get going again.
@@davidatkinson-lifematters4826 Watched the Lou Reed video, never really considered listen to him, but I will give him a try. Thanks David.

I might not even have heard that one. I know it's out there!

Not judging by the reaction to McCartney's set at Glastonbury at the weekend!
Rod and Bonnie do look very alike - probably the hair😁
It could be the spandex trousers. 😳😁

I got distracted by that big expensive turntable in the background. Maybe do a video about your equipment sometimes.
Good man. Thanks!

Right on the money (for nothing) there, Gary! I love Dire Straits, but absolutely loathe 'Walk of Life'.
Hmmmm
