Hi, Hedley. I like watching your videos because you pick things that are quite interesting and the information you give on the stuff is really nice to know. Perhaps I would vote for thematic videos if my voting helps but I’d watch a video even if it wasn’t thematic.
Morning Hedley. I'm not that fussed how you put a video together I'm just chuffed that you do. Your humour always makes me smile which I'm thankful for, cheers Hedley. I'm not going to help here as I text....... I'm happy with whatever suits you just as long as you feel inspired to keep making video's. Thanks for the smiles. All the best, Floss.
Hey, thanks Floss. That's very kind of you. Also thanks for your feedback. It seems that the scattergun approach might be the preferred format. I get that. Cheers - Hedley
Hey, John. Thanks for the feedback, it's duly noted. The John Bellamy give a group want country, country he'll have. Did you catch my little mistake calling John Downing, John Bellamy? In my defence, I'd just been talking about Peter Bellamy. Cheers - Hedley
@@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893 Never heard of Peter Bellamy. I've just googled him and he comes from Norfolk apparently. My Dad's family come from Suffolk. I wonder if I'm related to him...
@@johnbellamy3406Hmmm? Do sound like Larry the Lamb when you sing? There's a fascinating interview with him on RUclips. He's got a wall of pirated rock and pop tapes you can see in the background.
That Maria Dallas tune was a belter,I could also hear a bit of a northern soul dance type vibe in there as well 🤔 Stick with what you do Hedley,you do it brilliantly 👍👍👍
Thanks, Nick. Yeah, I think that Maria Dallas tune is a corker. There was a RSD release at the week end of Country with fuzz guitar, if that tune sounded a bit more Country it would've fitted in well. Cheers - Hedley
This was the most commercially shilled episode you’ve ever done Hedley. And you included me for a subliminal moment. Personally I love themes records together, or at least some sort of thread;degrees of separation. Having said that, random whacks works too. Good job 🎶✌🏻
Excellent sassy sultry sound from M. Dallas. Dig it! Clinton record is funky fun! I love the Bellamy record. The Schlitz bottle cracked me up 😂. I love that Scottish Irish American folk mix. The missing link has been found. The track you played is killer. Thanks for subbing us. We subbed you back. Cheers! Steve.
Hey Hedley. I prefer pick and mix, but I’ll continue to watch whichever way you land. I subbed Earnest, and that was a shameless plug for the Jukebox series. Cheers.
Hi Hedley - I still need to watch the latest pub video, so thanks for the reminder...I'm no country fan but I can be steered towards Americana and funk. I watch your videos because I enjoy them, especially the folk-related insight, so more output will be good (not Mazzy level output though). 'Ambush' is the kind of thing I come here for...Peter Bellamy not so much. Cheers Dale
Thanks, Harris. It seems most people seem to like the variety. Anything to stop me droning on about Country music. I rip the clips from the records into Audacity on my laptop. I was once a bit strapped for time and used mp3s. I felt guilty for weeks. Thought I might be blackballed from the VC for that transgression. Luckily no one found out...Oh, shit!
Nice one Hedley. I really like it when your videos meander through the genres. Its always a pleasure to spend some time in your company - whether the music is in my wheelhouse or nowhere near it. Cheers! D
I have the first Link Wray album, and I bought the "3 Track Shack" 2 CD (with all three albums) while I continue to look for the other two on vinyl. I saw a copy of Beans and Fatback many years ago, before I knew what it was, and it still haunts my dreams that I passed it up. I'm very happy to see records from a wide and varied range of genres!
Hi Hedley. I will definitely check out Ernest's new channel. As far as your question goes. I have enjoyed your channel the way that you have delivered it all along. I do like the mix. I just posted my first series with a theme in over thirteen years. Now I know that a lot of people do not stick with watching a themed series. So I am questioning its continuance. We will see... Anything you want to do will work. You are great at it. I like the honesty in your reviews. I will check out Clinton {Cornershop} and a few others. I was interested in hearing what you thought of the Link Wray. I am a fan of his music. But I was a bit letdown with the album. You are right. It has been a VC staple since I started in this community. I think I was expecting a lot more. Interesting info on the Shack 3 Tracks. I may like that one more. Thank you Hedley. Really nicely done~ Rob/Boston
Hey Rob. Are you talking about your bootleg series of videos? I'm interested in that, mainly as it's an area of record collecting I'm mostly oblivious to. I really like the sound of those Link Wray sessions. I think they sound as if The Band sat around in a bar, picking tunes on knackered instruments and drinking too much beer. If The Band weren't Canadian, but came from the backwoods of Kentucky. Cheers - Hedley
My grandfather's name was Earnest also ! Sounds good.. I will check out your friends new channel. I came home from Bangkok with Everly Bros. " Roots" and Poco's " Ghost Town" and " Deliverin". Also R. McGuinn's Thunderbyrd, amongst other records. I enjoyed your samples, and Link Ray's 2 records that you showed. 🎵
If I bought Thai Pop or Thai Psych.. I wouldn't spin it like I do with The Burrito Bros, Gene Clark, or other Western artists ! With my wife and son, we enjoy Thai music. Their pop is diverse and very good also..Lots of Japanese pressings in Bangkok for a fair price without that hefty shipping fee 🎵
Glad to see you shout out Ernest. I’ve followed him on IG for years now, and saw he started making videos. John? Why are you promoting John?! I still need to watch the Madam Cyn visit. Fascinating New Zealand country singer. I bet that sample you played is on some compilations out there. I never see Mordicai Jones. I’m missing it and Beans and Fatback. Good stuff, Hedley. Just send me a flip video of all those records you haven’t shown us. Cheers! ✌🏻
Believe me, Jon, it pains me to promote John's channel, I assure you that wouldn't be the case if he didn't have me on. I just think people need to know there's a reason to watch his videos now. Now I've got the first two of Link's 5 Track Shack albums, I've got to find Beans and Fatback. Damn my completist streak! Hed
Hi Hedley , I always enjoy discovering new 'old' music and will check out your older videos for more goodies. Keep up the good work ! By the way have you heard Romney Gentry ? she's country / alt-rock and its great stuff, I found her CD ( I don't collect vinyl) in a 2nd hand store here in the UK.
Hey! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I tried to look up Romney Gentry, but couldn't find anything. Not on RUclips or Discogs. Is the name right? Maybe they're flying under the radar? Cheers - Hedley
I lean toward showing a variety of records. Show some recent finds, show some country records, show some electro pop: mix it up… and show something for everything. That fuzz guitar on Ambush is killer!
Hey! Thanks for your input. I think you're right, a variety is probably the most viewer friendly. And it's all about views, right? Ha! There was a compilation of country fuzz guitar rekeased this RSD, but I'm pretty sure Ambush wasn't on it. Probably not country enough. Cheers - Hedley
Hi Hedley. The stand is very elegant. I wanted something like that in the new place, but in the event I had to put my equipment atop the horizontal Kallax, so that will have to do. Pick and mix videos are always my preference. Ha, love the hype on the Maria Dallas record, I wonder who wrote it (her dad maybe?). Her voice sounds oddly like a man's voice on a 33 rpm record playing at 45rpm, though nothing wrong with that (I had endless fun doing that kind of thing as a kid). Peter Bellamy sounds like the ticket, a bit of a Martin Carthy flavour though even more hardcore. The Link Wray/Billy Hodges deal sounds a bit like Rockpile before its time. 6inchpianist John Bellamy? You're really losing it now. Great selection!
Ha ha ha! John Bellamy! I wondered if someone would spot that. I noticed after I'd uploaded it. In my defence I'd only just been talking about Peter Bellamy, and there's simply too many Johns. It does seem like the consensus is a pick and mix approach to showing records. I'll still do specific country rock and related videos, but I can see the sense in a bit of variety. I meant to say, I watched your video about Lennon's Shaved Fish. I didn't know it was a compilation! That cover has always put me off, and the title doesn't exactly sell it to me either. I've always found that, despite having Imagine and Give Peace a Chance in his arsenal, Lennon writes rather bleak and troubling songs. The production often adds to that. Cheers - Hed
I tend to watch all your videos regardless, Hedley, but of course if you feature only ' Folk' records then I'll be particularly interested. ' Trapezoid' what a great word, conjurs up Images of an obscure 70s proggy Krautrock band that never quite made it. Maria Dallas has the squeakiest vocal but ' Ambush' certainly has a great energy and that psych fuzz guitar, terrific. Clinton was funky and has an interesting production. The Peter Bellamy was nice, but I'd have to be in the mood I think. Ha Ha!. my sister had ' Rollin' '..bizarre how that sticker got on there..perhaps the couple that owned those records originally had an argument and she stuck the Rollers sticker on his Link Wray album to spite him!. Mordecai Jones was terrific, loved that riff!. Great stuff Hedley.
Hello Rob. It's a mystery how that Bay City Rollers sticker made its way onto that sleeve? I like your theory. Louise just misfiles records if I've pissed her off. If she begins retaliating by attaching Bay City Rollers stickers to my records, I might have to have a long hard think about our relationship. Thanks for your thoughts. My neighbour gave me her husband's collection of folk records, so you can be sure there'll be more folk on the way. Cheers - Hedley
Wearing trousers? Unsubscribed. I'd prefer the theme videos, but that's me. The Fitueyes looks good - coupon down below. I wasn't expecting Ambush to sound like that. Ha - I was about to say, that looks like a Cornershop album! That Link Wray album was a VC staple 12 years ago - all of the Link Wray albums on Polydor are great - happy to have them all (on CD).
Hi, Hedley. I like watching your videos because you pick things that are quite interesting and the information you give on the stuff is really nice to know. Perhaps I would vote for thematic videos if my voting helps but I’d watch a video even if it wasn’t thematic.

Also thanks for your feedback. It seems that the scattergun approach might be the preferred format. I get that.

I also picked up that Clinton for £1 fair few years ago now, nice selection, first LP looks tasty too!
Ernest reached out to me this morning and now I'm obsessed with his channel! Kinda rekindled my enthusiasm in the VC again.
A dangerous activity there Hedley, asking the public what they want. Tell them what they need! They need more country, that's what they need!
Hey, John. Thanks for the feedback, it's duly noted. The John Bellamy give a group want country, country he'll have.
Did you catch my little mistake calling John Downing, John Bellamy? In my defence, I'd just been talking about Peter Bellamy.

Pick and Mix is fine with me. We certainly copped an ‘eyeful’ with your product promotion this time around 😂 All the best, John.
What can I say? I'm a shameful plugger.
I'm wearing vinyl trousers.
This was the most commercially shilled episode you’ve ever done Hedley. And you included me for a subliminal moment. Personally I love themes records together, or at least some sort of thread;degrees of separation. Having said that, random whacks works too. Good job 🎶✌🏻
Ha! I hope you didn't mind your subliminal appearance? It came from a place of love and respect.
Cheers - Hed

Hey Hedley. I prefer pick and mix, but I’ll continue to watch whichever way you land. I subbed Earnest, and that was a shameless plug for the Jukebox series. Cheers.
Yeah, this one was full of unsolicited adverts. It's okay, it'll probably be years until I give another channel a shout out.
Thanks - Hedley
This would be fun doing the jukebox thing and I have a lot of Country records as well as other music so I hope to someday be put on your list

Champion and Legend
Right On Brother
Thanks...I think.
Too Kool for school!
Yeah, I was expelled for outrageous koolness 😎
@@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893Right on! 😁👍👍👍
Nice finds! I like Link Wray and that's a good album.
Cheers. Link Wray was great.
Personally I’m a pick ‘n’ mix kind of guy. Came for the electro-funk....stayed for archaic folk. You’re needle drops sound quality is great btw.
Thanks, Harris. It seems most people seem to like the variety. Anything to stop me droning on about Country music.
I rip the clips from the records into Audacity on my laptop. I was once a bit strapped for time and used mp3s. I felt guilty for weeks. Thought I might be blackballed from the VC for that transgression. Luckily no one found out...Oh, shit!
Welp, I just bought that Maria Dallas record on Ebay for $7 delivered
Really dig that Mordicai Jones LP. Will see if I can source a copy.
Hey! I think it's at least as good as the first in the series...Maybe better?
Cheers - Hedley
Nice one Hedley. I really like it when your videos meander through the genres. Its always a pleasure to spend some time in your company - whether the music is in my wheelhouse or nowhere near it. Cheers! D
Thanks, David. It looks like it'll be business as usual. Variety is the spice of life after all.

Thanks for your thoughts.
My neighbour gave me her husband's collection of folk records, so you can be sure there'll be more folk on the way.
Cheers - Hedley
Do a pick and mix on the more obscure ones, and themes with more popular examples (w/ maybe some obscure influences tossed in).
Hey, thanks for your thoughts. I'll probably keep doing a bit of both.
Maria has a Brenda Lee vibe. I like it.
Definitely 👍
Wearing trousers? Unsubscribed. I'd prefer the theme videos, but that's me. The Fitueyes looks good - coupon down below. I wasn't expecting Ambush to sound like that.
