Nice seeing Lush get a mention and some recognition. Good video, thanks.
For sure. That copy of Spooky looks pristine too.
Hi JJ!
Thank you! Making sure Lush haven't been forgotten! Glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers!
I'm always impressed with your taste and appreciation of great music, especially in vinyl, but when you showed your Spooky purchase and offered such kind, and true, words about Lush, it truly made my day. They deserve more recognition, which will come over time, through people like you (us) who appreciate their art.
Hello 👱♀Hanna; Good to hear that you were able to find & now own records that were on your all-time super, super want list. Hoping you did not 💲pay too much for the newest acquisitions. Locating records at a good 💰🪙price always helps on a 🧠conscious & 💤subconscious level. Currently we have found needed records & ones in which we passed on due to condition. Kudos to you, keep ⛏digging, searching. 🙋♀Tina & 🙋♂Pat!~
Hi Tina and Pat! I did splurge on a few of these...but only because there have been no record shows in our area for months. So, it's all good! Haha! Bummer that you saw records you needed but had to pass on them because of poor condition. I hate when that happens. Hope you stumble on excellent copies in the near future! Be well!
Whenever I want to pat myself on the back for having a varied, eclectic collection, I should watch your videos. Such cool taste in music!
I appreciate the compliment! Thanks so much for stopping by and seeing what I've picked up recently!
Welcome back and good that you found some choice grails and good to have you back sharing your love for music
I appreciate the warm words, George! It's good to be back!
Always great to see someone who digs the Fall 😵
Thanks, Lee! Plenty of Fall mentions on my channel...especially the past year! Rock on!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert If you are a fan of The cure then check out their song " Burn" it was written for the film The Crow it is their best song
Good choices. Elizabeth Fraser has one of the most captivating voices in pop music.
Oh yes. I'm entranced every time I listen to her! Thanks for being here!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I don't know what the hell I was thinking here. and you had the decency & time to reply. thanx! I think I walked away, fouling that up. NO reply necessary. I didn't really sit thru it all, so that's on my list.
Good Morning Hanna 🌞 - Great Bass from Michael Dempsey on the first Cure album. He joined The Associates & plays on the magnificent Sulk album with Billy MacKenzie & Alan Rankine. 4AD in the house with Lush & Cocteau Twins. Manchester checking in with The Fall & Buzzcocks ( Nothing Left on Side 2 is my favorite song on Love Bites ) Love All Fall Down by The Sound .. very dark. Just saw Depeche Mode ( New album is 👍) & seeing The Cure in May. It's the 80's again ! ✌️
G'morning, David! Did not know about Dempsey with the Associates, too. Love both bands! I'm hoping to pick up the new DM album today. Just haven't been able to get downtown for a bit. I know it's gonna be amazing because DM never disappoint! Ohhh I wish I could see the Cure live! Congrats on getting tix! Cheers!
Hanna!! Super excited to have a new video from you -- glad you were able to add lots of grails to your collection. I've been on the lookout for a CD copy of 'The Toms' for awhile -- guess I'll have to settle for a flac digital download (for now). Hope things at work are finally slowing down, so we'll get some more new content soon. Be good and take care!
Hi there, Jared! I'm not sure why they didn't put out a CD reissue of this Toms album. Bummer! Work isn't really slowing down but I had some obligations like housesitting/dogsitting the past few weeks, so at least that is behind me now! More content soon! Great to hear from you!
Great Haul. I love The Cramps, have that on a double album cd but have never seen it on vinyl. I have been mostly buying originals and now have Siousxie from The Scream through Peepshow. The peel session records are always great and you can't beat anything The Smiths.They are also a great live band and Rank is another must have. I can't remember if you have mentioned Alcest but I have been obsessed with them lately. They are a metal shoe gaze but the music is really beautiful and relaxing.
Thank you, Matt! Yay, so awesome that you've got the essential Siouxsie LPs! I'd love to find one more on vinyl that I just have on CD for now. Alcest have some nice textures to their music but I'm not a fan of the screaming, which I know doesn't happen on every song of theirs. I still need Rank by the Smiths. Cheers!
Very nice and some great records!! Glad to be a contributor.
Thank you again, Kurt! Really enjoying all these! I keep checking your Discogs page every week. Hopefully that For Against LP surfaced! Hope all is well! Cheers!
Welcome back Hannah!! Good choices...huge Cocteau's & MBV fan...actually saw MBV live back in 1992 opening for Dinosaur Jr supporting Loveless...loudest fucking concert I ever witnessed...was right upfront against the speakers WITHOUT ear protection...the agony & the ecstasy indeed...my ears were ringing for like 5 days, the balcony seats were vibrating & many ran out of the venue holding their ears in pain, LOL...also saw Lush twice, first in 1994 with Weezer opening & second on their 2015 reunion tour...short-lived as they transformed into another band Puroushka (forgot how it's spelled)...also Cherry Red just released a cool dreampop/shoegaze boxset I just got, a 4CD set called Cherry Stars Collide...followup to the 2016 5CD set Still In A Dream...hope all is well...
Hiya, Lawrence! Thanks for the comment and the warm welcome back! Oh yeah, I've heard that those MBV shows were deafeningly loud...dangerous levels. Still it's pretty incredible you got to see them at that time! Two VERY loud bands! I'll look up that new Cherry Red shoegaze comp. I do have Still in a Dream and it's really well put together! Cheers!
Great to see you back.
Some amazing albums and EPs.
Hatful of Hollow was an exciting release, especially so soon after the debut. The production of The Smith S/T has always sounded muddy and is my least favorite of their LPs. So the improved versions on Hatful were very welcomed.
You are right The Frenz Experiment was not met with enthusiasm at the time. I like the sound and the brighter production. A great find.
Does your vinyl have Hit The North? It was a stand-alone single at the time. If so great to see it has been included.
Thanks for sharing your findings so eloquently. Always appreciated.
Good to be back, thank you! Yes, I'm with you on the Frenz Experiment! My copy does have "Hit the North," thankfully! Happy to read you enjoyed this installment of true grails! Cheers!
Hi Hanna, I like that Tubeway Army album...I have it on CD but would love to have the vinyl...I was impressed by The Gits vinyl...I have their 2 CD's, and that's all I thought there was by them.
Greetings! Thanks so much for catching my latest video! I recommend this new Tubeway Army reissue from Beggars Arkive. They're also doing many other outstanding reissues from Love & Rockets, etc.: archive.beggars.com
Yeah, The Gits put out 2 studio albums. The second was after Mia's death. There are also a couple of wonderful comps, this one included! Always nice to chat with fellow Gits fans!
More Fall, good idea! Another enjoyable vid from you, thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Cheers to a fellow Fall fan! :-)

Gr8t finds Hanna..take care!!!
✌️😎🎶🎶🎶
Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your week! 🎶
Welcome back! Love hearing why people collect what they do. I know how hard it is to find certain albums, still trying to find a pressing of Skinny Puppy's 'Too Dark Park' that I won't have to sell a kidney to buy. I did recently find a sealed 12" for Cyberaktif's 'Nothing Stays' and a radio promo 'Twenty Deadly Diseases" single by Severed Heads. Happy crate digging!
Hi Dan! Thanks for the comment! Skinny Puppy on vinyl is hard to come by, and I've maybe only seen one or two things of theirs on vinyl in these 5 years I've been collecting...my guess is record shows are probably your best bet if you want to find stuff from them out in the wild.
I had a friend in the Severed Heads.
Jealous here, Hanna "Swallow" is a top 3 MBV song for me, along with "Drive it all over me" and "When you Sleep" I've been looking for a fair priced copy of that EP for a long time. Kudos for finding it!😄I had that Love's Easy Tears EP for years, I sold it in the 90s so I need to get it again, it's an absolute classic imo. That 5 minute version of Surfin' Bird on Gravest hits is off the rails great. Holy grail records indeed!
Hi Rando! Thanks! I was stunned that I was able to get the Tremelo ep in my collection. Exceptional songs. I'm still missing 2 key MBV eps. Maybe one day...
Love's Easy Tears is a top Cocteau Twins ep for sure. I hope you can get it for your collection once again! IMO you can't go wrong with any of their eps starting with Sunburst & Snowblind and continuing through the 80s.
Yay! Reccoordzz!
✔️🎶🎶🎶🤗
Hi Hanna, great to see And Also The Trees getting a mention. I saw them in 1981 in Stoke-on-Trent. They were on an incredible bill along with Lydia Lunch supporting The Cure on the Faith Tour. Love the Cocteau Twins too, no mention of Garlands though…
Hi Neil! So very special that you got to see And Also the Trees back in '81. Wow, those were the very early days for them! What a tour that must have been indeed.
And I didn't show Garlands because I already had a vinyl copy in my collection. No worries there! Stay tuned for a ranking!
The Gits Whirlwind. Listened to the entire record. Reminds me of why I love music. Great Live. Much Thanks.
You're very welcome! The Gits help get my energy levels up, that's for sure! They were so talented! Whirlwind is a great one to start the day!
Hello Hanna. It's really good to see you again. I have Three Imaginary Boys and used to have Boys Don't Cry on Cassette. Would really love to find it again. Thanks for past video recommendations for Modern Lovers and Plasticland. Have picked up a few releases and really love them. Modern Lovers debut has become a favorite. Really looking forward to hearing Idaho and The Toms. Since you are a huge fan of The Sound it bears repeating. Propaganda (1979 recordings, released in 1999) has become far and away my favorite from the band. A must listen. I don't hear Graveface Records mentioned too often. Another band on their label is Lava Children. They only have an ep and a short album. If you like Suburban Lawns (and I know you do) give them a listen. Super quirky, great stuff with female vocal. Great acquisitions Hanna! Thanks as always
Thank you very much, Todd! I appreciate you! Very happy to read you've been immensely digging Modern Lovers and Plasticland! Excellent! Yeah, the Modern Lovers debut is by far their best offering, in my opinion! I'll have to check out Lava Children. Love that band name, hehe! From how you describe them, I'm sure they'll be up my alley! And yes, I still need to pick up Propaganda by the Sound. I'll be getting it in due time! 😉 Cheers!
Oh, I gasped when I saw your Lush album! Definitely a grail for me also, great score.
Thank you! It was a lot of fun showing Lush's Spooky. What a beautiful record...the packaging, art, music, everything! Cheers!
Glad you are back...always a cool video. Love The Stamey/ Holsapple record actually all the records have there are pretty damn great.
Aww, thank you! Good to be back. Glad you enjoyed seeing many of these titles. That Holsapple/Stamey collaboration album has been on my vinyl want list for quite some time. Such an outstanding album and it's awesome you love it, too! Cheers!
Hanna and Beetlejuice are back! You make my day. The Cure-Boys Don't Cry (1980) and The Smiths-Hatful of Hollow (1984) are truly exceptional albums. Here in São Paulo, Brazil there's an independent label called Hellion Records that releases classic albums by Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and unknown rock bands from the 70s. This Hellion Records is a true ''hero'' that still releases records and CDs in a Brazil where culture was forgotten by the fascists for the past 6 years. Latest CDs I've found recently are Warhorse-Warhorse (1970), Fuzzy Duck-Fuzzy Duck (1971), Chicken Shack-Imagination Lady (1972), Granicus-Granicus (1973) and Baker Gurvitz Army-Baker Gurvitz Army (1974). All released by this label. By the way, nice shirt from Joy Division-Unknown Pleasures (1979).🖤 Take care and see you next time. Cheers!
Great to hear from you again, Alen! Very sweet of you to say this made your day! Glad you have found several CDs you've wanted on the Hellion Records label! Enjoy! Glad you like this JD Unknown Pleasures tank, too. I get them from teepublic.com. Great site! See you next time!
Very cool pickups, Hanna. Of course I am jealous of that Tremelo 12", need to get that and Glider to finish off my MBV collection. Looking forward to your Cocteau Twins ranking, they have been one of my favorite bands for the past 40 years. Cheers!
Thanks, Mike! We definitely have a lot of the same music taste. Yes, you need Tremelo and Glider in your collection. I still really need the Feed Me With Your Kiss and You Made Me Realise EPs on vinyl. Cocteau Twins ranking is in the works. This is difficult! Cheers!
Great finds! My latest Cramps record I picked up is "Urgh...the Complete Show". The song "Tear It Up" was used in the "Urgh... A Music War" film, and this is the full set of that show. Also recently got an original copy of their "What's Inside A Girl?" 12". I usually send people not familiar with the Smiths to either Hatful of Hollow or the Queen is Dead, so killer find on that Hatful record. Killer scores on those Cocteau, MBV and Tubeway Army ones too. I'm super stoked to see that Go Sailor record behind you! I've only known 1 other person in my life that has heard of them. I picked up one of their 7"s in the mid-90's just because it was on Lookout Records. Back then I was huge into pop-punk and bought almost everything I found on that label, and I loved it instantly. I got my copy of that collection about a week ago myself. As Lux Interior would say, "you got good taste!" 😁
Thanks so very much for the thoughtful and complimentary comment! And Chris picked up this Go Sailor reissue a month ago and we've really been enjoying spinning it! It's wonderful to finally have Hatful of Hollow on vinyl now! What a band. Lookout Records - really solid label! The Donnas! Cheers!
I'm always impressed with your taste and appreciation of great music, especially in vinyl, but when you showed your Spooky purchase and offered such kind, and true, words about Lush, it truly made my day. They deserve more recognition, which will come over time, through people like you (us all) who appreciate their fine art.
Greetings to a fellow Lush fan! Thanks for watching, Brian! I agree that Lush definitely deserve more praise. Such sweet sounds!
Hi Hanna. Great Grails... LUSH was amazing. Fortunate to see them back in 96? Had original pressing of Hatful to Hollow when it came out back in the day, and it's now on my list again, of wants. Nice to see the FALL get some love as well. Keep on Rockin'!
Thanks, my friend! Oh, what an experience it must have been to see Lush before the breakup. I hope you are able to add Hatful of Hollow back in your collection soon! Cheers and rock on!
I just scored a replacement copy of Hedge of Nerves, Loren Chasse. It's a field recording fashioned into sort of an abstract, ambient recording. I literally can't live without it. Got it cheap, 2.99, CD, not vinyl. As Dieter from Sprockets would say, I'm as happy as a little girl.
Congrats on obtaining that grail, David! Cheers!
Nice selection ! I amazingly found The Sound on vinyl last year for 10€, in excellent shape, it made my year
That is definitely a score of the year. That record is super hard to find! Congrats!
Welcome back, Hanna. Your record room looks like heaven - especially with XTC up on the wall! I remember buying that Lush album on cassette after hearing 'Superblast' on the radio. Love it. I bought Hatful Of Hollow on vinyl as an import - it was my first Smiths album. Love that Sound album and Party Of The Mind is a strong candidate for my favorite Sound song. So happy to see Holsapple/Stamey! 'I Know You Will' was one of the first songs I ever covered (I covered 'Amplifier' on my channel) Looking forward to checking out The Toms and espcially Modern Eon (Chameleons and Comsat Angels comparisons are always intriguing). Great stuff as usual!
Thank you for the warm welcome back! Party of the Mind is a solid choice for your #1 favorite Sound song I'd say! Very cool you've covered Holsapple/Stamey's "I Know You Will." What a beautiful song and that whole album is gold! I think you will really dig Modern Eon! Happy sampling! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Wow you scored on the Twins! I have the CD box set of the EPs but would love to have all the vinyl versions.
Thanks! I didn't even show all of the EPs I've picked up by them. You'll see 'em all in a future video! That CD box set is worth some money now! I've never seen one of those.
Cool stuff! I still have the copy of Hatful of Hollow that I bought when I was in High School nearly 40 years ago! I also have the dBs "Stands For Decibels". That was a tough one to find even then! I remember looking a long time before I found it. All my records are packed away. It's probably been over 25 years since I played any. Treasure is one of my favorite albums! I had it on cassette back then (long gone) and I've downloaded it, but I'd love to have the record of CD.
Hi David! Thanks for hanging out! I have only seen Stands for decibels one time in the wild in my 5 years of collecting. Of course, that was after I had already purchased a copy online from Discogs! It is a fairly obscure record but a classic! Sorry to hear all your records have been packed away for that long. Perhaps you will be able to enjoy them again soon? I hope so! Treasure is such a stunning album, right? Love it immensely! Cheers!
The Toms is such a great record. Totally blew me away when I first heard it. The new issue is a good option to get it for sure. I was lucky to find an original in one of the local stores a couple of years ago. Other faves of mine that you showed up are The Cramps and My Bloody Valentine, great catches, congrats!
So amazing that you found an original copy of that Toms record! Originals are pretty pricy now! I'm so in love with this Tremolo MBV EP! Thanks for stopping by, as always! :-)
welcome back hanna, very nice to see you this morning & you put a lot of sunshine into my day with the link to the toms! never came across tommy marolda before & they sound incredible, like a more british or australian tommy keene, leaning on the lennon/mccartney accent more than lou reed with the 60s jangle blending into the production style of the 70s/80s merseybeat side of new wave & of course i love it like i dig groups like the someloves & the orange humble band. you must have crossed my mind is already a timeless classic i'm bound to return to quite a lot & i can't wait to hear more from the toms, might be a bit biased since they've got my name but a sound this clean & inspired is irresistible, thank you! ☀💗🎶💗🙌😊
Thank you! So glad you're enjoying what you hear from the Toms. Extraordinary record! Something or Other by Someloves has been on my want list a while. Hard to find on either format! Cheers!
The Cure....on my grail list too. Record room looks so cool!!
Thank you! Love keeping the record room orderly as it's my favorite room to hang out in! :-)
In the first of your videos I saw, you talked about A Bell Is a Cup Until it is Struck, which I love but had never heard anybody talk about before. Now you are talking about "Party of the Mind," which I've also never heard anybody talk about, but which is one of the most wonderful songs. I love knowing that other people in the world are connecting with these records!
Hi Nathan! Thanks for watching. I'm happy to present more "obscure" or forgotten albums/songs because I have a passion and love for this music! You have excellent music taste! Cheers!
Glad to see you picked up the And Also the Trees and Modern Eon albums! Those are biggies I recommended last year. I often put Tubeway Army in playlists with early Ultravox and Japan -- Bowie/glam-inspired synth punk!
Thanks! Yes! Solid recommendations. Slowly but surely I have been adding goodies into the collection! I'm very pleased with my collection right now! Cheers!
Hi Hanna! Glad you finally found some of your grails! I didn't know much of what you mentioned though - I do know of Modern Eon and remember that they were great! Of course the Buzzcocks LPs are classics! ... Two of what I guess I could call grails that I recently acquired were Bangs 3rd LP, "Music") ($30) and The Fugs first album, second pressing with great color artwork which cost $20. Both LPs were near mint! Have a nice day!
Hi Bill! Congrats on picking up some grails yourself! I'm not familiar with Bangs. Not the riot grrl Bangs, right? I appreciate the comment as always!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Not the Bangs girl group - Bang was a hard rock group in the early 70's. Had 3 LPs on Capitol Records.
I’ve never seen an OG vinyl of Lush “Spooky”. It looks gorgeous in that larger format. That is awesome. Where did you get that? It looks like a pristine M/M copy, a wonderful album. Monochrome is my favorite song.
Hi JJ! Yeah, everything about this copy of Spooky is gorgeous. Was lucky to score this beyond excellent copy online from a favorite secret overseas online vendor. 😉 I love your choice for favorite song, too. Hope all is well!
Hi. Did you see my comment about Shoes? Really happy I found them. Great album!!!!
I’m sorry, I’ve been away from my RUclips post for ages and I most likely won’t have time to catch up on past comments. I’m so glad you’re into Shoes. They are certainly favorites of mine! Thank you!
Post it again perhaps? What album?
@@kjejon1 This post was me posting it again.
@@robisherwood527 Aha, ok then
It's always nice to see your collection, Hanna. Some of these groups I've never heard of, but that's why I tune in.
Thank you for hanging out again, Stephen! I know I show some obscure stuff from video to video, but I'm glad that's what draws you in! So fun discovering new music!
great presentation, some of those records took me right back! i used to collect the Smiths in the days when their white labels and test pressings retailed for £3.50-£12 in UK. One album by them worth seeking IMO is their debut UK LP on test pressing with the photocopy cover.
So glad you enjoyed this video! Orignals Smiths albums/singles go for so much money now! That's why I only have early presses of Hatful of Hollow and Louder Than Bombs so far! I'll keep a lookout for the debut UK issue you mentioned. Cheers, my friend!
These records are so great! There's no better feeling than adding a holy grail to the collection! Case in point for me is your mention of The Sound's From the Lions Mouth. I found an original UK pressing and it sounds amazing. (I hope you don't mind that I mentioned you in my 2023 Vinyl Tag video.) I would never have known about that record if you hadn't mentioned it! Thanks, and congrats on your epic grail finds!
Hey Hanna!
Great to hear from you! That Cramps ep is awesome! I’ve been wanting to thank you for introducing me to the Sound and Sad Lovers and Giants. I totally missed these bands the first time around! Fantastic stuff! Especially the Sound.
Thanks so much for coming back, Murray! Pleased to hear that you've been enjoying the Sound and Sad Lovers and Giants! Both superior bands in the post punk genre indeed! Cheers to you!
Hey Hanna, great to hear from you again, happy you've found so many grails. I agree with your comments about Hatful of Hollow. That version of Back To The Old House is so beautiful, and Please Please Please &c was the first song I ever learned to play on guitar (bad introvert!). Fantastic collection of Cocteau Twins, I love their EPs too - look forward to your ranking video. You're so right about The Fall's rhythms - the twin drummer line-up in the early eighties was particularly amazing. There's a RUclips clip of John Peel introducing them playing Smile (one of my favourite Fall songs, almost Beefheartian) on The Tube, their first national TV appearance, and it's stunning. Looking forward to getting Deerhoof's new record, their first studio album! Have you heard their version of MBV's Lose My Breath? I love it, though many are appalled by their audacity.
Greetings, Mike! Thanks for the interest in the Cocteau Twins ranking. I think I will plan on starting with just an album ranking at the beginning and then maybe move on to the eps last. Not sure if I want to mix the eps in with the album ranking. I haven't heard Deerhoof's cover of Lose my Breath. I'm checking it out here on RUclips now. Wow, loving it! They nailed the guitar chords and the beautiful vocals. I love it! The only thing by Deerhoof I have on vinyl is La Isla Bonita. I need to get more! Cheers!
A friend at school had the original 1978 blue vinyl release of the first Tubeway Army album. That should be worth something now. I bought the reissue the following year. Seen an interview where Gary Numan says the album only had synth on because he found one lying in the corner of the studio.
Hi there! Yeah, that blue cover Tubeway Army issue is worth hundreds of dollars, I believe. Love the background story to that album! Cheers!
Cocteau Twins are amazing. Bought the EP box for a friend many years ago and wish I had grabbed one for me as well. I have been picking them up slowly one by one when I find them. Though, not something that shows up in the wild too often out here in the land of Utah
I have never run across any of Cocteau Twins' EPs around here on vinyl...period. I've bought everything I own online. In fact, most of the stuff I'm after I have to seek out online now. Collector woes lol. Cheers!
OMG! Thank you for cluing me into the TOMS reissue! I've searched for that album for years.!!
You're very welcome! I didn't even know about it until I saw a Facebook friend show it! It's so great to pass on the word! That album is a classic! Cheers!
Really cool pickups Hanna. The Toms looks like a great reissue. I just have that one on CD. They are a treasure. My favorite Buzzcocks is Another Music In A Different Kitchen but all of the first 3 are indispensable. Stay well kiddo!
Thanks! Yes, Another Music...is also a fine record by Buzzcocks indeed! Glad you have the Toms album on CD. I think that one is pretty rare on CD as well! Cheers!
Wow, very cool add with The Gits comp. I would love to find any of their albums...they have gotten so expensive. Such an amazing band!
Yeah, at this point finding anything by The Gits out in the wild is like finding treasure! If Mia hadn't been taken from us, just imagine where they'd be now. Cheers!
Amazing find, that Tremolo EP. Congrats on adding it to your collection!
I've been close to pulling the trigger before. I read it is missing that beautiful transition between tracks 2 and 3 (I guess due to the format?) that the CD EP has. I'm curious for your feedback: Is that true and does that detract from or change your enjoyment listening to it?
Thank you! That is true that the transition is missing on the vinyl. Luckily I have the CD version as well! I'm covered. 😁👍🏻
Hi Hanna, nice to see a new video pop up again! You've found some really good scores lately. I love that you got the Lush LP, and Idaho (I've *never* come across any Idaho on vinyl, not here or even when I was overseas). "Year After Year" is really, really good. Tubeway Army is a great recommendation. I was able to sample some of their songs and it's good! I've always liked Gary Numan, but never checked out Tubeway Army on its own. Girl...I cannot believe you found The Gits "Seafish Louisville" on vinyl. I really like this record too. I see that Go Sailor record in the lower left! Must check out Modern Eon. Seeing The Fall "Frenz Experiment" makes me miss the whole 2 The Fall LPs I used to own. Cocteau Twins original UK press and "Treasure!" I do not think I've heard "Spangle Maker." Looking forward to your ranking video of CT. Ah! Guess what came on after this Holy Grail video of yours! Breeding Ground!
Thanks, Nicola! I'm back! Yeah, Idaho's Year After Year - just something about it. The darkness, the guitars. It's a masterpiece in my opinion. No idea when that box set will be out. No word on it in like a year now. Grrr! Glad you dig that first Tubeway Army record I showed here. A very enjoyable listen! Yeah, I still can't believe I found Seafish Louisville on vinyl, either...and locally. I mean, that's like a once in a lifetime occasion! Not sure how I've been able to find The Gits on vinyl in person the past year! This Go Sailor reissue is great! Chris bought it a month or so and we've been enjoying it! I think he just bought it because of the cover art initially! Hehe! Cocteau Twins ranking is in the works! Glad you've been picking up more by them, too!
Love this! Just came across this video and love the insight. Boys Don’t Cry was my first Cure cassette. Purchased from Homers downtown in like 84/85ish. Looking to get the vinyl at some point. Same with Disintegration and would love a UK Fascination Street single.
Always great to see a post from you, thanks for sharing all of these. I want to check out Modern Eon. Take care.
Hey there! Glad you enjoyed this video! Modern Eon doesn't disappoint! Happy sampling! Till next time...😀
Funny about Drastic Plastic, I would usually pop in there if it was open on my visits. Congrats on the Lush album, nice score. I just recently showed that Numan album and talked about how it was recorded which was quite interesting and how his musical life was changed. In the late 80s and 90s I found all his music in the bargain bins, no one wanted it. Now the prices have gotten crazy on his music. How time changes things.
Hi Steve! I should have known that when Drastic Plastic kept changing their hours to opening later and later in the day that something was amiss. I just don't know what happened. Seems Gary Numan has made a comeback as far as popularity. He swung by Omaha last year. Wish I could have gone but I don't make it to many concerts. Hope all is well up in MI!
Love that Lush album.
Thanks, Christopher. Early Lush was absolutely perfect, right?! Cheers!
As always very good album suggestions, thank you. I have that first Shins album too. Very good album. I don't see the merit of the Cure comp you showed over Three Imaginary Boys. Several tracks are on both albums and that are maybe the best tracks. Ps I have Love Bites too and several Cocteau Twins also.
That’s why I said if you have both, you are all set. Thanks for watching.
Amazing haul you picked up, Hanna! I'm glad you managed to get the grails you wanted. 😊
Thanks so much, Tony! Really like how my collection is looking right now! Be well!
Hello from Australia Hanna, must have known you were about to but a video up,played Unknown Pleasure most of yesterday (it pouted down rain) & also in the last week had The Smiths HOH delivered from Discogs, need Southpaw Grammar ( which is very pricey) to complete all Lp’s, also happy you picked up The cure’s BDC excellent album!! Enjoy your channel 👍
Thanks so much, Carl! Excellent choice to play Unknown Pleasures on a gloomy day! Wow, seems you are nearly complete on your Smiths/Morrissey collection! Kudos to you. I have a ways to go! I hope you continue to come back here! Be well!
Thanks for sharing Hanna! Been watching your channel for years and have enjoyed a number of great recommendations from you. So thank you for that!
Oh, thank you for being a loyal viewer of my channel! I appreciate it! Glad you've been able to get some solid recommendations here! Happy spinning and see you next time!
Makes me feel old that the records I brought in the 80's are now collectable
It's becoming harder and harder to find these 80s titles. I find it maddening lol. Cheers to you!
and if you try to find them either good luck or the vinyl copies are PRICEY
Glad you are back Hanna. I enjoy your videos very much. I agree with you about every Gary Numan era being a good era. I was always peripherally aware of him, but only became a disciple of his body of work about two years ago. His 2021 album Intruder is amazing. Much recommended. 😀
Thanks so much for the warm welcome back! I will check out Gary Numan's more recent work. I'm sorry I missed him last year when he swung through Omaha. I appreciate the kind words about my channel! See you next time!
It’s wonderful to wake up and see the radiance of the sun piercing through my youtube notification alert summoning me to a new post from your channel …YIPPEE !!!
I concur with The Toms reissue, and pretty much all those grails you’ve acquired. I tend to get fuzzy and warm when someone who is searching for something finally finds it.
P.S. The “Seafish Louisville” version of ‘Precious Blood’ always brings chills to my body and tears to my eyes every time I play it. It’s haunting …emotional …perfect.
Thanks for coming back for my new video! I was thrilled that this Toms LP was finally reissued to vinyl. What a treat indeed!
And yes, that version of Precious Blood is powerful, but there is also a more haunting acoustic version out there. I can't find it on RUclips at the moment. I used to have a file of it. So beautiful. Cheers!
"Human Fly"? Incredible song, the cover of Lonesome Town (see Ricky Nelson), such a cool interpretation.
These early covers are ace!
Yay! You're back!
Lush follows right behind MBV for me. Happy you seem to agree
Good to be back! Thanks!
Love early Lush TONS!
Always happy to see and to know what you have been doing recently. Been a little slow record wise for me but I have always got my eyes open. Take care.
Hi Andrew! I'm sad there haven't been any record shows for months. Hoping we at least have the Omaha one next month sometime. So, buying grails online has been the way to go for me! Hope you stumble upon some record gems in the near future! Cheers!
I love that Fall record too. Have it on CD. Victoria was my intro to that band. I discovered it at my college radio station when I started doing a show there freshman year. Lots of cool stuff as usual. More Gits!?!?! You got all the luck. I still can’t find any.
Great bunch of finds Hanna! Very envious on Glider (I have the remix 12" on creation); lovely seeing you peeling off the OG Cocteau's as well, they are things to treasure. Not to mention the cramps, Post punk and power pop gems... Bringing the vinyl🔥 great seeing you, hope all is well!! Cheers, Dean
Hi Dean! Great to have you here once again! I'm still missing the Feed Me With Your Kiss and You Made Me Realise eps from MBV. Not sure I'll ever get my hands on those ones, though. Having the Glider and Tremelo eps is a dream already! Oh, very cool you have the Glider 12" remix! Hey, I still hold out hope that you'll return to making RUclips videos! Cheers, Dean!
Awesome pick ups Hanna, glad you made a vid, I had no idea the Modern Eon was reissued, just ordered. Thanks for the tip! - John
Thanks so much for stopping by, John! I'm happy to have shared about that Modern Eon reissue! So glad you were able to place an order for it! Yay! Cheers!
Your videos are ALWAYS informative and I feel like you have expanded my musical tastes with your suggestions. I had never heard of the Toms, but wound up listening and purchasing the 2LP set. I haven’t taken it off my turntable in over a week. Thanks, as always!
Thank you! Oh, excellent! So glad you were able to order a copy of that brilliant Toms reissue! That record deserves so much more praise! Enjoy! Cheers!
Super super super jealous of you snagging that Lush album. One of my all-time faves. I bought most of a collection a while back that included a sealed LP of Lowlife that I can't bring myself to open up. Also got a ton of OG Cocteau Twins vinyl as well.
Thanks for the comment, Robert! Sounds like you scored an awesome collection, wow! I hope you find Lush's Spooky one day! Till next time... :-)
Man, I adore "The Cramps". I just recently bought "Flamejob" and it's awesome! You just can't resist dancing! :) I also want to buy that Joy Division shirt sometime. ;)
Hey there! I still need to add Flamejob to the collection. Maybe I'll find a first press one day! I buy most of my band shirts at www.teepublic.com and they have sales frequently! I am not affiliated in any way. Just love supporting the indie artists!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert This shop is great. The options you can have to design your own band shirt are nearly limitless! :)
Welcome back, Hanna! 😀 Myself, I've always regarded that 'Boys Don't Cry' album as The Cure's 'true' debut album, because it ultimately is 'Three Imaginary Boys' but with better songs in place of the ones I don't like on the latter, like 'So What', 'Meathook', 'Foxy Lady'.
Thank you for the warm welcome back! Haha, I actually don't mind that cover of Foxy Lady on Three Imaginary Boys, even though it's a bit odd! Having both BDC and TIB is pretty essential! Be well!
Not much of a collector anymore, but love your taste in music, some of which is new to me. I’ve been revisiting Red House Painters and your other slowcore (and shoegaze) mentions - I’m going to follow up on. Cheers.
Thanks so much for watching and leaving me a comment! Glad you're enjoying the type of music I regularly show! Ah, revisiting Red House Painters is always enjoyable! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert
You likely know this fun bit of trivia, but lots of RHP fans don’t know that Mark Kozelek plays the bass player for Stillwater in the movie Almost Famous. Cameron Crowe is a big fan of his. Part of my revisiting RHP was attempting a cover version of Take Me Out and I realized that my detuned piano threw my vocals off, but it has an off-tune charm. Mark has the most haunting and heartbreaking voice, even when he does covers of John Denver. 😆
Just discovered your channel today, Slightly freaked out as I've played with two bands in your selection (The Cure & The Sound (reformed), spent many a happy afternoon in the pub with Steve Diggle (Buzzcocks)! And Also The Trees were produced by Lol Tolhurst (my particular mate in The Cure) & you're about to do a Siouxsie special, there's conections there too. Just pick some Bowie, Slits, Sex Pistols, & B-Movie & that's pretty much my career in a bag, Ha ha! Great channel, going to binge watch previous episodes now. 😊
Thank you so much for the comment, David, and I'm so glad you found my channel! Yay! That's amazing that you've played in some of these bands. High five on your achievements! Hope you continue to enjoy my content!
Hey Hanna, so good to see you back! Love a bit of Cocteau Twins and how exciting you got some more added to your collection. I have been buying some Cult records this month and have picked up Sonic Temple, Dreamtime and Love - real grails to me anyway. Their latest Under The Midnight Sun is also fantastic.Take care and see you soon.
Oh thank you! Love the Cult and I'm excited you were able to add some more to your collection! I'm not familiar with their latest but I'll check it out . I think they swung through here last year! Be well!
Really enjoyed this video Hannah and thank you so much for pointing me in the direction of The Toms, I've downloaded this album and I love it. As you say very Beatles influenced and with some nods towards Badfinger. I've just picked up a RSD issue of Like Flies On Sherbert by Alex Chilton and now I have these wo great Beatles influenced records to enjoy, again many thanks, and keep on sharing your records and CD's with us....Also recommending Steven Wilson's new album The Harmony Codex to everyone, really is worth checking out folks...
It's so good to see you, Hanna! Hatful of Hollow is one of my desert island records. I just picked up The Go-Betweens' Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express, and Gary Numan's Telekon. I'm enjoying both, but Telekon has really blown me away.
Hi there! Ah, you have definitely added some heavy hitters in your collection lately! I love Liberty Belle from Go-Betweens! That was one of my top additions last year or the year before. Telekon is an underrated Gary Numan record, too! Cheers to you!
Good to see you back Hanna!✌🏻🎸Some fantastic gets (or is that gits har-har..)there. Frenching The Bully is definitely a holy grail for me. They need to reissue that classic.
Love the Cocteau Twins. One of the most creative bands ever.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! I have a reissue of Frenching the Bully, but yes, another reissue is certainly due! I'm always keeping my eye out for originals! Cheers to you!
Good to see you Hanna! There’s no doubt that the Peel Sessions are the better versions of the Smiths! Good stuff! Take care, Frank
Thanks, Frank! Always enjoy seeing you here! Yay for Hatful of Hollow!

Great stuff Hanna! Glad to see you back. Rock on!
Thanks as always, Brian! Hope you've been scoring some grails yourself! Cheers and rock on!
You're really fit, have a beautiful voice & into good music...you can't be real!!
Thanks for watching my channel! Hope you continue to enjoy my content! Cheers!
The great thing about Hatful is the alt lyric takes as well as the track listing. Obviously you have to have Louder Than Bombs to get everything comp wise, but Hatful is great. Especially the Japanese versions of Hatful, which sound the best to me. I also have that UK reissue and it pales in comparison, but it’s a must own nonetheless.
Hi Cary! I also have an early press of Louder Than Bombs that I scored for $10 a few years ago. The cover is a bit mangled at the corners but plays great! Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to stumble upon a Japanese press of Hatful of Hollow! Cheers!
I had no idea so many of these can still be found. Amazing.
Many of these I did buy online. They can found with some searching! What gems, right? Cheers!
Re: Drastic Plastic closing
Purely speculation on my part, but, when a shop has been around a while and ONLY sold new, then suddenly start selling used, that's often a desperate move to reverse a shrinking cash flow.
A legendary (for our area) shop had been open about 25 years when the owner died. This left his partner by himself. After a couple years, he started selling his personal collection in the store. He'd even caught on to the vinyl comeback before most, started stocking more vinyl, fewer CDs, but it was too late. Old clientele were dying off and the internet was restricting the new blood available.
Just my 2 bits.
Seems Drastic Plastic has tried 3x regarding having a store, so I don't foresee them ever coming back now. Kind of strange they are no longer. I at least hope they keep doing reissues of out-of-print or rarer albums. Thank you for sharing your 2 cents on this!
Just came across your channel, nice to see someone on RUclips discussing a lot of the bands that I collect, as a lot of my time nowadays is spent tracking down test pressings or acetates to add to my collection I have a lot of holy grail days, but recent great finds for me are a test pressing of Pre-millennium tension by Tricky and you know your right 7” promo single by Nirvana.
Thanks for stumbling upon my channel! Seeking out test pressings and acetates must be fun. With the vinyl resurgence, things are getting harder to track down. Cheers!
Hey Hannah! Bought fewer albums recently, but invested in an IFI XCan headphone amp, after much research. Woweee!! Even has Bluetooth so now the phone even sounds good for a change! It just sounds phenomenal. Worth every penny. I need all the MBV albums, I’m remiss on them.
Congrats on your headphone amp purchase! And yes, I hope you are able to add MBV in your collection very soon! Essential! Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I got some more planar headphones and they just eat power, the only real reason I got the IFI. But it's nice to have Bluetooth too. I'm missing too many records, alas. It's maddening I cannot find much alternative music anymore here on LI. The record stores here either push super expensive vinyl now, but boring stuff, or, their used CDs are also like moldy old
hippie music and such, you cannot find punk, alt., goth, industrial, electro, whatever anymore here. One store actually had a Controlled Bleeding vinyl box set three years ago, they wanted $500 for it or whatever. I"m like...nah. I did listen to the MBV EPs yesterday on the amp, via the phone, and that sounded pretty darned good. I used my cheaper Pioneer lightweight headphones, they're good for mobile use. Great bass.
Here's a question: if you headed out to the main record stores in Omaha, near home, today, could you still potentially find copies of say, the CDs (used or new)
of a band like MBV, or would it only be vinyl? I was just wondering. All I know is, on LI or even NYC now, it would be a fool's errand for me to try to find those
records or CDs anywhere here. Your chances are almost nil. Again, if this were back in 1991 or 1988, I would just go into the city if necessary, or later,
the Tower Records on LI here, and I would generally find the CDs or vinyl or cassette, even, of all the MBV albums. It's very distressing. It's nice that we
can buy or hear anything online now, but locally you're kind of out of luck. I wish we had a store like Amoeba in L.A. but we don't anymore. To me it's
more inexcusable that NYC lacks a store like that now. Rough Trade in Brooklyn wasn't bad, but that died too, and their prices were generally. super high.
If I go into a store on L.I. and ask for MBV, The Sisters of Mercy, or even Bauhaus, they would stare at you like you have five heads! So lame.
What we would do back in the later 80s and early 90s here on LI was take the train into the city and go on massive book, record CD etc buying orgies,
and bring all the goodies back to LI, since good luck finding that stuff here. Even posters, etc. There was once this huge store in the W. Village
called French Kisses and they had gigantic subway posters and all kinds of rare rock and roll ephemera, best poster selection ever. At least LI then
had a few good record stores that would stock indie releases, and all that, the situation wasn't so dire back then. I once corresponded for a while
with Moe Tucker, in the mid 90s, and she was asking me if any of the nearby LI indie shops would stock her stuff, or be interested, her solo stuff, or singles,
and I gave her the number of Titus Oaks Records in Hicksville, which I used to drop tons of money at for years, was once an excellent shop!
I think she called them, not sure. I'm sure they would have been tickled if she had. But they also finally went out of biz around 1999 or so.
You could even get good records in the 70s and 80s at Record World in the malls, etc., and the lowly store Korvettes, which had a solid record dept.
back in the day. When Tower showed up it was like icing on the cake! And then......oh how the mighty have fallen! I used to go into Titus Oaks
all through the 80s and they always had every new new wave album, tape, etc., and an entire wall of the latest WLIR/college radio top albums and
EPs, 12" singles, dance singles, etc. DJs must have been using them as a primary source, I can only imagine.
Great videos thanks! I’ll be checking out a lot of the bands you’re showing that I don’t know about! I found a first Japanese pressing of that tubeway army record here in japan! I too love everything Gary Numan does!!
So glad you're enjoying my videos! Thank you very much! Oh, I'd love to get some more Japanese pressings into my collection! I think I only have 3 or 4. Gary Numan rules!
Great stuff. Looking forward to your Cocteau Twins edition.
Thanks, Johnny! Glad there is some interest for the Cocteau Twins ranking video. Working on it more today! Cheers!
I was shopping at Drastic Plastic way back when they had their first shop on 24th & N and their first Old Market location on 13th and Howard (old Subterranean Cafe location). They were the back bone of the punk scene in Omaha for the longest time. After they started up Impact Merchandising the record store got put on the back burner IMO. They had a good run with those album reissues but then they closed the store only to reopen the bar/restaurant with the record shop upstairs. I personally thought they were over priced and the selection pretty weak. I’ve know a few people who worked at Impact and said the owner Mike Howard was just awful to work for. Who’s know why they shut the doors down this time.
Hi Joey! I heard a few rumors that the owner of Drastic Plastic was difficult and that there were some really rude bartenders at the Monster Club. I can't speak to if any of that is true since I don't know. It's just a huge bummer they are gone. I thought their selection was pretty much catered to my music taste, which is why I liked them a lot, hehe! R.I.P. Drastic Plastic!
Wow! So nice to see that you like The Toms!! Fantastic album😍 Have the original since it came out🥰
That is amazing you own an original! Cherish it forever!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Yes I will! Hope you take good care of that Lush record, its fantastic🥰 By the way, I really like your videos, so much cool and great info on good music! Keep it up🤗
I love that you like many different kinds of music, especially Alternative stuff. Must of youtubers if not all from the vinyl community are stuck in the 1960's, 1970's, maybe a few things from the 80's but the same as usual. Thanks you Hanna for having an open mind.
* I love all those records shown today and all on the wall: amazing that you get those Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine records they're hard to find, The Cure, The Gits, Lush, The Cramps, The Smiths, Gary Numan/Tubeway Army, The Toms, love the mention to Alex Chilton a very underrated musician with the mighty Big Star and as solo artist, etc.
Thanks Hanna!!!
I appreciate you stopping by!
Congrats on the grails, saw a few of those at a record fair today, Buzzcocks was £45!!! Agree on the cocteau twins but difficult to find here. I thought of you when flicking through I saw Xmals Fetisch! but again it was £40!!
cheers
These are such great recommendations!! So hard to believe I missed so much music back then, but I clearly did! Thank you! And here is my shameless plug. Play shelby smoak on all streaming. All me. All post punk. New song “getting lost” came out this week. Best, shelby
Thanks for watching, Shelby!
Thank you for the Toms suggestion! And also the book. Hanna have you seen the Numero Box Set - Titan it’s All Pop
Hi Robert! Glad you enjoyed the suggestions here. That Toms LP is essential! I believe you mentioned that Numero box set to me before. Power pop on!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert oh whoops! I must have forgotten👀 . As always, enjoyed the video and appreciate your shares! Love the Cocteau Twins, they made some timeless music.
Hey Hannah. Welcome back. You certainly ticked some important boxes. Boys Don’t Cry is “must have”, The Sound have to be the most underrated band from the post punk era and yourCocteau Twins collection is looking good. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the welcome back, Brett! Agreed that the Sound are the most underrated post punk band! They deserved a lot more recognition, that's for sure! Cocteau Twins ranking is in the works! Cheers!
I love all these bands (of the ones I know). I don't have the grails but certainly have reissues of the Cure, My Blooody Valentine, Buzzcocks, and The Smiths. Always, an enjoyable and informative time watching an Omaha Introvert upload. 😎👍
Rachel, hi! Thank you! Good to see you! Happy spring to you and I hope the record shows will start up again very soon! ☺️🎶
Fingers crossed, Hannah 😊
