- In this video I discuss our recent vinyl road trip to Michigan! I show a couple of grails found at the Ann Arbor record show as well as do an overview of a few of the rad stores we visited in Iowa and Michigan! I have a few other vinyl road trip videos on my channel if you are interested!
Flat, Black, & Circular in Lansing, Michigan is definitely one of the best record stores I've ever visited! Props to them!
Do you take vinyl road trips to seek out used records? It's my favorite activity!
I'm Hanna, and thanks for watching! Like my video? Please subscribe and give me a thumbs up!

My hometown show! Glad you had a good time. After watching your flip vid I wished I would have been there
Sorry you weren't able to make it to the show. Lots of vendors and killer selection. Luckily there will be another in a few months I'm sure!
That US release of the Clash first album originally came with a vinyl 45 of "Groovy Times" bw "Gates of The West. The LP wasn't released in the US until Fall '79 at a below average price just a few months ahead of London Calling. "Give 'em Enough Rope" was their first US release.
Thanks for watching, Bloppy! I'd love to find Give 'em Enough Rope.
I really appreciate seeing your enthusiasm.
Thanks, Robert! I'm really glad my passion and enthusiasm for music comes through in these videos. Happy you're here! Cheers!
Hi Hanna - another great video! I don't take vinyl road trips but I do try to check out the local shops when traveling. I found this antique/thrift store in a small town in Minnesota that has some great records! We'll be traveling to the UK in October and I've started my list of vinyl to seek out in Scotland and England. I"ve been watching your videos and taking note of bands from the UK so that my overseas purchases have a connection to the location. Thanks for the great leads!!
Lots of great albums there Hanna showing your vast music loves that go back to The Byrds. Interesting to see the store videos and i always look forward to your next music adventure.
Greetings, Danny! I guess I did show quite a bit of variety in this video! Oh yes, long-time fan of the Byrds here. So glad you joined me for this Michigan recap! Cheers!
Wow! Thank you for the mention of my Ann Arbor record show!
Hi Rod! We really enjoyed the show. Many of the titles I saw there I had never had the opportunity to see in person before. Bravo!
I was at that record show, I live about an hour away, you must have been there earlier. I got there around 2pm. I picked up The Cure "The Walk" EP and a few other records. I hope you enjoyed the trip.
Hey there, Curt! Yeah, we were at the show for the early admission portion. Sounds like you found some goodies, too. Love the Cure! Cheers!
So glad you were able to come to my home state! We are blessed here with many shows and record stores (over 30 in the Detroit area alone). I do like to go to record stores when I travel. So far, I have been to stores in Illinois (Chicago area), Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Hoping to get to a store this weekend in New York City. I also hope to plan a trip to the Austin record show in the near future. I was in Omaha this past October and wasn’t able to make it out - we were there to watch MIchigan play Nebraska. Like the Psychedelic Furs choice - I am going to see them Sunday night! I also think Sun King is one of my favorite “First Songs” . Sorry for the long message - enjoy your videos and am jealous of your collection!
Hi Mike! Michigan was really a fun place to visit! The drive not so much but it was a great adventure! Yeah, I noticed there are a ton of record shows in your home state. AMAZING! The Austin record convention is definitely worth making a trip for. It's one of the largest in the country, if not the largest! I'm jealous you'll be seeing the Furs on Sunday! That will be a blast! Are X opening or vice versa? Cheers!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert X is the opening act. In August, we are seeing Blondie with The Damned opening
Another great video!
What a cool road trip. We were up that way ourselves recently. Through Iowa to Wisconsin and a bike trail there. No record stores, unfortunately.
I loved the camera panning of the record store walls and flipping through the bins.
You paused on some great titles. A handful you flipped through caught my eye. I wouldn't be surprised if they were already in your collection.
Shriekback - Oil & Gold. Ex-Gang of Four and ex-XTC with the marvelous Lu Edmunds.
That Petrol Emotion - End Of The Millenium Psychosis Blues. The O'Neill brothers were in The Undertones and wrote all the music for them. Not their best work though.
The The - Infected. After Soul Mining and before Johnny Marr joined but still good.
Lou Reed - Street Hassle. Not a great album but worth it for the epic title track. One of the best things he ever recorded.
The Feelies - Only Life. One of my favorite bands. Not their best but still great.
The stuff you did buy is equally great.
Never liked the US track listing for The Clash. Great to see you found the UK edition.
The Skids! Nice!
Radio Birdman! I think the Sire edition includes Aloha Steve & Danno! Classic!
Dexy's - Too-Ry-Ay - I love that album. All three of their first-run albums are classics. Each with its own style and sound.
Coincidentally Kevin Rowland was never happy with the album and Too-Ry-Ay as it was meant to sound is about to be released. I am not sure how they could improve on it.
Patti Smith - Easter. To paraphrase the great Lester Bangs "Horses changed my life, Easter is just a great album" So true! Have I told you (more than 50 times) that I saw her in a concert in Tulsa last May? She played 2 Easter tracks.
Once again I have found too much to comment on! Thanks again for a great video, congratulations on the great finds.
And love The Who t-shirt!
Hi Richard, i also took note of Lou's Street Hassle. Reed and Bowie's output of brilliant albums through the 70s are unmatched as solo artists. Another superb example of Reed's music genius from that album is Real Good Time Together. Along with his 70s masterpieces i also loved his The Bells and Growing Up In Public albums. Such great songs on those.
@@dannymiles6503 I found my way to Lou Reed through The Velvet Underground, and love Real Good Time Together on 1969: Live. In his solo output, there are so many great songs, even into the 80s. I have a soft spot for Romeo Had Juliette and even New Sensations. I will give the Bells another listen, I think I tried it once and it didn't click.
@@RPS67 Yes Richard, the old Velvets original, but geez Lou took that song to a whole new level on Street Hassle. Its a brilliant song and its worshipped by many musicians, artists. As Bowie once said, "Lou was a master, he provided the street, the setting, for all us others to create our songs. I do love The Bells, as it came out at the most experimental time in my life way back in the fast lane. Its virtually co written with longtime Springsteen bandmate Nils Lofgren. Stupid Man, Disco Mystic, I Wanna Boogie With You, All Through The Night, City Lights, Families and the title track are superb.
Yes, i agree New Sensations has some great songs. High In The City, My Friend George, The Last Shot, New Sensations itself too. Try his album Growing Up In Public too if you like, brilliant songs on there like How Do You Speak To An Angel, So Alone, Think It Over, Standing On Ceremony, etc etc. Thankyou for your interest Richard. Im sure you know about the Reed /Bowie incident, where Lou bopped David in a Chelsea restaurant. Lou Reed, the only man who could bop Bowie and get away with it, incredible. Thanks a lot Richard.
@@RPS67 Richard Hi, The Last Shot was on the Legendary Hearts album actually. Its that sort of song that would fit perfect on New Sensations or even Growing Up In Public, thanks all the best mate.
@@dannymiles6503 Thanks for all the info, Danny! I need to broaden my Reed catalog!
Ann Arbor is a great place (former resident) ❤️👍🏻
Very cool you used to reside there. Beautiful city! Was nice to escape some of this Nebraska heat while we were away, too!
I'm from Michigan. Encore Records in Ann Arbor is amazing! Used to frequent there almost every weekend for years.
Fabbola, Han! Heatwave in the UK right now & many of the natives are roaming the streets more or less naked. Shudder. Oh & my brain is melting. 'Problematic' Patti Smith ... ha ha! She was just being poetic. Very nice Clash & Birdman, Skids & Banshees. My theme song for the heatwave: 'He's A Liquid', John Foxx. 🥵
Greetings, Nigel! Ah yes, heard that London had it's hottest day ever yesterday or today? My God. I feel quite badly for you. And I understand most don't have air conditioning in Europe, so it definitely sounds like y'all are experiencing hell. Very appropriate song choice by Mr. John Foxx, by the way. Sounds like you enjoyed seeing what I picked up at the show/state of Michigan! And please don't let your brain melt too much! You need to come back for my next video and say hello!
Well there was some good stuff in that stack of music you flip through!!! I wish I was there with $1,000 in my pocket I was allowed to spend...lol
Hi Rod! Glad you liked seeing what was in some of the bins at the show. Yeah, really phenomenal titles at the show. I was impressed. Just couldn't afford everything I wanted, but that's how it is with this hobby and the age of inflation we're in! Great to hear from you as always!
Great video once again. I bet you like that tuff darts track. I think it’s killer. Featured on quite a few power pop comps. Whole wide world was on the Expedia commercial on the Super Bowl right? Jilted John is a British dude a lot like wreckless eric you might like. There is a comp series out there called “where bird men flew” has at least ten volumes that is worth looking into. Filming the record bins is really great and keeps the viewers attention. When I saw the dictators bloodbrothers in there made me think how fantastic the tune baby let’s twist is.
Aloha Hannah,
Amazing collection you've purchased!!!
Some of those records on the Sire label, I had Promo copies of in the late 70's. I no longer have them, can't believe how much Some of those sell for today. I remember going over a Warner brothers rep house and paying $1.00 each for unplay promos, I had all the Sire stuff which at that time not to many people in Hawaii that I knew listened to them.
Thanks again for bringing back my memories Whether they're good or bad there's still memories.
Thanks again Hannah for an exciting Video. I learned so much even at my age.
Mahalo Ed
Aloha, Ed! Hope you are well! Yeah, isn't it crazy how much these records go for? Inflation is off the charts! However, I'm deep in the hobby so I just keep on buying! Glad you learned something new from my video! See you next time, my friend!
Wow a few of those boxes were amazing! The Clash was in one of those boxes and amazing and the Sex Pistols album was cherry! Pretty amazing vid!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the flip videos from the show. Amazing titles indeed!
Very cool video with some awesome finds! You always point me to bands that I haven’t heard before. So thanks 🙏 Also went back and watched your Byrds ranking video. The Byrds are in my top ten of all time. I would probably go with “The Notorious Byrd Brothers” as my favorite. At least for today! 😂
Hello I have the exact same T-shirt as you are wearing. I like the Who, growing up back in the 1960s I enjoyed their music. My favorite song is Happy Jack from 1967. I also like Who are You from 1978. Loved Romeo Void back in the 1980s. Never say Never is my favorite track of theirs.
Glad you're a Who fan as well! AS they're my favorite band, I did a Who ranking video a few years ago. Who Sell Out is my favorite album by them! High five that you also love Romeo Void! Enjoy your evening!
I believe California man that cheap trick did is a Move cover. I recommend the Hellacopters. I started on them with a song called “Hey” which is still one of the best rock and roll songs I have ever heard. They Might Be Giants Flood and Lincoln albums are great.
Friday night is killing me by Bash and Pop is really great I think it’s east to find used on cd.
Thanks for sharing! Love that Who shirt!
Hi Hanna, wow, over 400 comments! You really found some good music there: Patti Smith, The Move, Throwing Muses, The Cult, Subhumans, Radio Birdman, INXS...all excellent choices. Saw Throwing Muses play here in FL but it was not very interesting and I like the band. Maybe it was an off night. Grail Time! An OG LP of The Clash! Didn't know about the trivia associated with songs being omitted from the U.S. pressing. I love seeing inside of the record stores. Karate's "In Place of Real Insight" is really good! Glad to see you pick up that Cock Sparrer LP. Oi oi oi.
Haven't seen any MOEV on vinyl in decades!
Hi Hanna nice t shirt …, radio Birdman I never heard about the group … I will definitely look for them now.
You're in for a treat! :-) Thanks for watching, Henry!
Congrats on that UK Clash and love Throwing Muses
Right on! Nice to have found some big wants at this show!
Entertaining video, cheers. Watched it all. Nice T-shirt btw. Wow...Ann Arbor - Iggy and the Stooges territory - sounds like a blast. Thanks for jogging my memory with a lot of these records. Early on you leafed past 'The The - Infected' - (imo) that's a cracking album, very honest lyrically and a reflection of the time...'Heartland' being the stand out - underrated. As is Roy Wood, scary talented and great songwriter - 'Shazam' now on my list...as is 'Subhumans' stuff. John McGeoch (you know him) is getting some well deserved, way too late plaudits for his inspiring guitar work - bit of a random link, though he does appear on 'Once upon a time - The Singles'. Thanks for posting this, certainly stimulates discussion.
Awesome haul and you have found some of my favorite albums talk talk color of spring the party's over is a very stellar debut and different from a lot of the synth pop of the time very moody and dark Patti Smith group Easter I've just fallen in love with this album side one is phenomenal and so is side 2s song suite 25th floor/high on rebellion just punky and brilliant the cult sonic temple yes side one is fantastic sun king is mind-blowing I love sweet soul sister to and grace jones she is definitely talented and unique slave to the rhythm is my favorite awesome show and see ya next time
Hi George! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I can't wait to find more from Talk Talk and Grace Jones. You are so right about "Easter." Patti Smith is a force! Cheers!
Great video as usual, Hanna. It was a very productive road trip. Congrats on that The Clash-The Clash (1977) UK version. Totally agree INXS-Kick (1987) is one of the best records of the 80s. I thought there were some great Aussie bands at the time. Grace Jones, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Dexy's Midnight Runners are gems from the 80's that still play on radio in Brazil. I confess that I feel jealous when watching these American midwest record stores on video and we Brazilians live hard times in Brazil that is in economic crisis, corruption, with a president who hates culture and wanna become a dictator. Sorry for the rant, Hanna. Thanks, have a great week, take care and keep on rockin!
Hey there, Alen! How's it going? Oh yeah, definitely many talented Aussie bands that came out in the 80s. In fact, I'm kind of working on a video that highlights some of my favorite Australian bands! It's in the works! I'm so sorry that your country has been suffering. My intention is not to bring you down with the footage! Hope all is well. Take care!
First off points are awarded for the Who shirt. The world is our oyster if cost is no object but I do find record shows have some pricey titles. I've been to one and now that we have a brief respite from Covid a show is scheduled nearby in September that I'll attend. Hopefully, I can find something in the affordable range. Lots to like here... I'm a fan of The Cult. Kick I owned once upon a time. I'd add it back to the collection if I run across it. Grats on the Clash pickup! 😊
Hey Rachel! Thanks for stopping by once again! ☺️ Was just hearing about the Mobile Fidelity drama! I'm excited for you that you'll be attending a record show in September! These vendors save their best stock for the record shows. Very rare, hard-to-find titles, so it's definitely worth it to attend these, in my humble opinion. I've found some of my most treasured records at various shows! Cheers!
Aw! Another great video! Big fan of Radio Birdman here, and Australians garage scene. I don't know if you know that, but Deniz Tek's white Epiphone Crestwood used to be MC5's Fred Sonics Smith's guitar!
Hi Dia! I did not know that about Deniz's guitar. Wow, talk about playing a piece of history! Cheers!
Nice video, Hanna. I just found a new copy of The Eseesntial Radio Birdman in my local shop's new arrivals bin. I would have flipped right past it if not for this video. I grabbed it, as you've never steered me wrong.
Hey there, Mike! Congrats! That's amazing that your local shop had a copy of the Essential Radio Birdman! Solid comp! Hope you enjoy it! Cheers!
Hello Hanna; A very appropriate T- shirt for the video. A video Road Trip series, Driving the Vinyl Highway could work? Good show footage though some of those prices need an adjustment!! The Move's Shazam their 1st US LP, Wreckless Eric's 10 inch good find, The Live at CBGB's is good look out for vol.2 Good that you found a UK press of the Clash's 1st a grail for sure. Radio Birdmen worth the price good find along with Chris finding a german press Some Girls. The Bryds comp. is good & most songs are from the 1st five LP's. Some good vinyl & CD road trip finds. Take care, Tina & Pat!~
Hi Tina and Pat! Glad you liked my Who shirt! Yeah, had to shout to the world that they are the best band ever! Ah, I love the brilliant title idea - Driving the Vinyl Highway! Considering stealing that. Awesome! Yes, the inflation has definitely hit the vinyl world and it stings! I'll keep an eye out for Vol 2 of the CBGB's series. I really like the song selections on the Byrds comp. Very solid. Take care!
Ann Arbor is the hometown of my VC mentor mr. DeadWax.....thanks Hanna for showing the market......i want the Federal Duck lp badly, i think it was a reissue but still.....the U by the Incredible String Band is one that is fantastic and highly recomented by me.....best wishes.....
Hey Kit! I don't think your mentor makes videos anymore. So glad you enjoyed seeing the footage from the show! Cheers!
Hi Hanna: I am late to the party here. Super cool! Love your tee. I sure need to hit some record shows. Rock Always! - Heather
No worries, Heather! I always appreciate you stopping by and dropping a comment! I hope you are able to attend some record shows in the future! See you next time! Keep rocking!
Hi Hanna.You have some nice finds there.I was quite interested you mentioning Radio Birdman and they have been a favorite of mine since back in the 70's.I actually have an original copy of Radios Appear album which I bought in 1977.It's in great condition still and worth a fair bit I'm sure.My copy is black background not white and just pictures of the guys from their waist up.Quite different to yours and an Australian copy.Also Zeno Beach album is quite good to and recommended.I got that on CD at an op shop for a buck.Lucky find !
Hi Paul! Wow, so very enviable that you have an Australian original copy of Radios Appear. Incredibly hard to find! I need to fully sample Zeno Beach as well! Cheers!
I hope you already have that Feelies album you passed over. Great LP!
I definitely own Only Life by the Feelies. Love that record! It's my favorite by them!
Hi Hanna and greetings from Ann Arbor, MI! I am a relatively new subscriber to your channel, but have really been enjoying it a ton. I initially checked out a few of your videos, but then got so excited when I saw one from my town. What a small world! There are a few different record shows in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area throughout the year, but the Monster CD Show is my favorite and I NEVER miss it even if I only have $30 to spend lol. It happens 4 times a year (January, April, June and October or November), and the next one is actually this weekend (4/16/23). I am pumped! As you found out there is always great stuff to be had, and I also typically find a grail record at every show. I watched the entire video and didn’t see myself (yet lol), but recognized all the dealers and regulars that I have gotten to know over the past 6 years or so. I probably ran into yourself and Chris, and we probably fought over a shoegaze record or 2 ha ha. I am so happy for you that you found that Throwing Muses record, what a great score! I think one of my favorite records that I scored there was Olivelawn - Sap. I walked up to the table with a Texas Is The Reason shirt on and the dealer had the same shirt on. Cool stuff! He sold it to me for $10 and it is pretty minty, as I was the only one that even knew who they were that day. Lucky me! I am really glad that you got to check out Encore Records and Underground Sounds while you were in town as well. I agree Underground is definitely known for their new record selection, but I have also found some used grail records (Like a used copy of Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, the pressing that you show in your “Best Of 90’s” video. I about had a panic attack when I found that in the stack of recent arrivals section lol. Also some really nice pressings of Dinosaur Jr. - Hand It Over and You’re Living All Over Me, and some Sunny Day Real Estate.) there throughout the years. I really dig going there for Record Store Day specifically though, as I have never walked away without everything on my list. This year it looks like I will be picking up Klark Kent, The Temptations, The Cranberries, Joan Jett and Raphael Saadiq. What are you and Chris pumped about for RSD?
I also really wanted to say thank you for turning me on to music I hadn’t heard yet. Like right now I am listening to The Sound - From The Lion’s Mouth. I don’t know how I missed this band as I love 80’s music, I love Joy Division and I love Echo & The Bunnymen. Also thank you for Sad Lovers & Giants, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, The Chameleons, Gang Of Four and Chelsea. Thank you again Hanna, and please keep inspiring me musically and creating great content!
Hi Hanna,
WOW, so much to tell you today after watching your Ann Arbor show video. You may recall I live in Ypsi Michigan, right next door to AA.and 20 minutes from Weber's. I mentioned to you in April that I went to the Spring Show at Webers in AA..you were about to move etc so you couldnt make it up. I didnt know you were coming this time but glad you did. I wasnt able to attend. However, 2 weeks before this show, i sold 120 of my Albums to Rod, who Runs this record show.
I met him in April and we worked out a deal. You can imagine my surprise when I saw your video This morning and 3 of the first 4 crates you showed at the beginning were All my stuff that Rod just bought.
Then as you went on, turns out you bought my Romeo Void and Throwing Muses. And to Top it all off, both of your Grails, UK Clash and Radio Birdman were also Mine. I was so excited to know that you ended up w some of my best Lps. I'm one of your Biggest Fans so this just made my whole year!! Enjoy the Records and next time your coming to AA, please give a heads up, I'd love to meet you and Chris.
I now feel like I'm actually part of the VC. Was such a great surprise to see todays video.
Love,
Mark
Whoa, Mark! So, I picked up some records that used to be yours! That's awesome! However, I must also ask, why did you get rid of such INCREDIBLE albums?! I'm so excited about all of these. Yes, those 2 grails...ACE! Never thought I'd come across that Radio Birdman. It was like there was a light shining down from above right on it...and with the glorious promo sticker and everything! Yes, if we ever get up to Ann Arbor area again, will try to let you know! Probably won't be for a long while though, I'd imagine. We didn't enjoy the drive too much...mainly that south Chicago area. Yikes.
And if you've been hanging out and watching vinyl videos in this community and commenting and such, you are definitely part of the VC! Thank you for these solid records! You really took excellent care of them! :-)
@@TheOmahaIntrovert
I had to do a purge and I know these records were valuable and I didn't listen to them. I know you like punk music, I'm not a big fan, but I had these albums from back in the day when I was a Mgr at Musicland in the late 70s into the 80s. You and I are more on the same page w late 80's, early 90s power pop and shoegaze.
I try to take care of all my stuff.
I have some more that I'll save for your next visit to AA..hopefully we can Make a deal. Don't wait too long to come back. Love to have you over and show you lps that I think you'll be interested in.
I'm so inspired by your videos, keep up the good work. And I cant wait for your Australia Special video...Divinyls, Hoodoo, Saints etc.
Take care Hanna,
Love Mark
Yes indeed, 80s alternative/power pop/post punk/shoegaze/new wave. That's the stuff right there and always what I look for. I would love to hear what else you have that's in these subgenres you are selling. Feel free to e-mail me at omahaintrovert@gmail.com if you have a list ready! Yep, that Australia video I'm being a little slow with as there's so many bands I love from there! I may have to narrow it down to 10 or 20 favorites!
For a punk record and this is quite an obscure one, I recommend Crisis - Hymns of Faith, their debut from 1980. They’re a UK band from that initial British punk movement. I found a nice reissue when I was in London 4 years ago. Really excellent punk rock music. 👌🏻😊
I appreciate the recommendation, Hayden! I have quite the list going already from you and my awesome viewers! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Love the Romeo Void❤️ You got some good stuff 😊
Thank you, Yolanda! Glad to hear from someone who loves Romeo Void as well. They've become a fast favorite of mine! Be well!
Glad to see you got to a show. Glad though you are still at it and able to move ahead. Saw Romeo Void in 85, they were on top at that time. Did not know Grace did She Lost Control/Private Life, cool. Lynn Goldsmith took that Patti album cover photo,....she was fixing a bobby pin in her hair. Look up Lynn and website to see some cool videos with Patti and her.
The CBGB was a counter to Max's Kansas City album.....the album is not as much fun as you would think. But just good to have because of the name.
Hate to be downer here.....but records, are just way way way too expensive and the method of buying is so restricted now. That is my view.
So disappointed in seeing the prices, and it is universal.
I am glad I bought when I did, and only buy what I really want now. Maybe I am old fashioned, but I do not understand the color vinyl purchases and multiple styles scam they do now.
Vinyl sellers and Labels are out pricing the market, and the way the economy is going, they are going to force CD's to come back as a cheaper media. cheers! stay cool!
P.S. I still prefer the WEST COAST record stores.....
STEVE! Greetings! Great to hear from you. Pretty jealous you got to see Romeo Void in '85. Bet they were on fire at the show! I'll definitely look up Lynn Goldsmith to see those videos of her and Patti. Thanks for that!
Yeah, inflation right now is a huge downer. Since I'm way deep in the hobby at the moment, I can't give up the buying for long. I always get right back to it because of my thirst for the music. I only wish I had started collecting many years ago instead of waiting until early 2018 to get into vinyl more seriously. I'm still buying CDs though...more affordable in many cases.
No, I don't fall for the colored variant scam and special edition pressings of the same album, etc. Pretty ridiculous.
I'm with you on the preference for west coast stores...I had my BEST digs in Washington state and Oregon. Will always remember the titles I found there. Cheers! Hope all is well!
Glad you got to come to Michigan. Lots of records. I have a huge stack building up too. Just to sick to do a video.
I’m sorry to hear that you have been having a tough time, Bill. Feel better. 🙏🏻We enjoyed Michigan!
Seems fitting to find a bunch of Stooges albums in Michigan. We're heading up there in a few weeks for vacation so I think I'll hit up a some shops and see what I can find. Hope you're having a nice summer. Later, Frank
That's awesome, Frank! I hope you have a fabulous trip to Michigan! I hope you have luck finding some gems! Cheers!
Glad to see you got to the store in East Lansing. I spent a lot of time in that store when I was in school.Throwing Muses is such a great group. Really looking for vinyl of Tanya's group Belly - Star or King. The first concert I ever went to was The Cult with the Divinyls. Still think Love is The Cult's best album. Found Moev and Xymox around the same time and both are still in my listening rotation.I will have to look up Shazam as I was finally able to pick up Jellyfish - Bellbutton and see the possible influence.
Hey Matt
I'm in Ypsi. I saw your comment to Hanna. I totally agree w you, Love is Cult's best Ian such a great singer back in the day. I grew up in Mpls and worked for Musiclans/Sam Goody back then for 15 yrs. I saw that Cult Divinyls show (was it 1985?) at First Avenue in Mpls. Wow. One of the best shows I've ever seen. I've told Hanna, Divinyls one of my all timers!
Take care,
Mark
@@markmckeen5124 It was in 85 and an incredible show. Saw them at the Royal Oak Music Theatre in MI. At the time I didn't know who the Divinyls were but had a positive impression after. I just saw NIghtwish in Mpls at the Fillmore which is a beautiful place and hit the record store Electric Fetus which was amazing. Nice hearing from you.
@@mattlupu152
Ah yes the electric fetus, brings back memories from 70s. Had 2 other great mpls indy stores back then FUGS and Wax Museum, both long gone. I worked for Musicland//Sam Goody from 79-93. I was managing Musicland stores in mpls suburbs in 85. Went to first Avenue every week. Saw so many great shows. I was a Divinyls fan from 83 on and wasn't familiar w Cult in 85. Both bands blew me away that night and I immediately got Cult's Lps. Thank for your reply and for triggering a great memory.
Mark
Oh man, I want that Feelies album you flipped by! That Patti Smith record is sweet. I used to live in Holland, Mich.
That Feelies album is definitely my favorite and I already own it so that's why I didn't grab it! :-) Holland was a pretty little town!
Glad to see that you've found Radio Birdman. Great band, great record. Although I adore The Pretenders, Grace took their 'Private Life' to the next level. At first I couldn't get into David Sylvian. I regarded his music as boring. But a friend of mine suggested that I should make some more effort, that's what friends are for, I guess. And then suddenly I discovered a world of beauty. That Who T-shirt is definitely an eye-catcher. To see that band in their prime must be an absolute mind-blowing experience. With the madman on drums and the coolest bass player, they were kicking ass like no other band. Unfortunately, like you I suppose, I was born too late. So I settle with their killer perfomance on the Rolling Stones Rock And Roll circus DVD. Hell, with their explosive stage act of 'A quick one, while he's away' even The Stones must have thought 'We're in trouble'. Love your video's. Greetings.
Greetings, Danny! So glad you continue to enjoy my videos! David Sylvian's solo work can take a few listens to sink in. Glad you came around! Yep, I only wish I had been born decades earlier to have seen The Who in their prime. I saw them 3x starting in 2002, but obviously Moon and the Ox were no longer with us. Pete is my favorite male artist of all time, though!
Thank you for breaking the mold with discussing prices! 😀🙏 I can understand why some VC channels are reluctant to...especially if they are a store or reseller...and I don't mind when ppl don't discuss prices but one of my pet peeves is when the channel always loves to say how smoking of a deal they got but they won't ever say any prices. At that point they're just bragging and the viewers learn nothing about the market value...your channel is amazing Hanna and you've turned me on to so many great bands. Thank you! :)
You bet! I don't mind divulging what I spent. In some cases I make mistakes and spend too much, which is easy to do at a record show because you may not have time to compare prices on Discogs given the environment. I'm so glad you are enjoying my content and that I have given you some solid recommendations. Makes me happy and that is a goal of my channel! See you next time!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Same! If I see a record in person, I dont mind paying more so I don't have to worry about it getting damaged in transit or that the seller's record grading is delusional lol...btw...with the current revival...I would love to see a video with your thoughts on some of your favorite current shoegaze/dream pop acts!!! :)
16:45 - Oh absolutely! My UK version is a reissue but my US copy is og fir sure!!!👍😃
Sweet! It's the reverse for me...OG UK and US reissue! Rock on, Jeff!
Lots of great record stores in metro Detroit that you should check out, if you're ever in the area.I always loved going to Flat,Black and Circular when I was younger. I always found really cool stuff.
Hey there! Yes, I guess we weren't too far from Detroit when we were in Ann Arbor. Time was an issue though. It was a pretty short trip for us and it seemed like most of it was spent driving, but we still had a blast . Next time I'd love to check out the stores in Detroit! Rock on!
great lps you got there Hanna yeah the price's on vinyl these days or something else lol great video my friend
Yep, this isn't a cheap hobby as you know, Curtis! The addiction is strong, though! See you next time!
Great stuff! I must admit that I did lose it a bit when I saw the Throwing Muses during the flip portion. Elated to see that you picked it up! Definitely a grail for me.
Hey Jason! Yep, that one had to come home with me. Such an enjoyable album. I'd really love to find the Real Ramona next on vinyl! Peace!
Great finds in Michigan! (Superchunk has a song called Ann Arbor, but you probably knew that!). Thanks for the Radio Birdman CD tip... gonna track it down. Speaking of punk (which we always are!) do you have Suicide Commandos- Make a Record? Also, I'm with you on The Byrds. Just came across my single of 8 Miles High by Husker Dü. Fierce. When I was a kid, coming off my Aunt Sarah's 60's records, I was discovering punk. When I heard The Huskers version 8MH I about fell off my chair! (Holland👍- dad is from Grand Haven).
You are from Omaha , Awesome I am from Ohio but spent time there in 2004 ,A nice big city with a small town feel . Nice you love and know music too . I am 38 and i will have alot to say about it on thiis page . You have a new subscriber.
Hey John! Yeah, Omaha still retains that small town feel in my opinion! Great place. So glad you found my channel! Thanks for subscribing and see you for the next video! Peace.
Drool Worthy... I like the way you know the background on most of your finds...true skills at finding what's out there. You're right, don't be shy about what you pay, it helps justify the value. I find myself feeling one of two ways. "Wow I never knew this was out there" or "Finally it's been remastered, bonus tracks, pricy, But it's mine!" Some vinyl's are out there in the wild that truly need a new home, cleaned up, cared for, and protected. I passed by a pricy store(they always mark up everything, msrp plus), as a last resort I relinquished, went in, and I'll be dammed, they had exactly what I was searching a year for. Two albums from the eighties, not one scratch.(amazing). 1982 Frank Zappa" Ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch" and 1984 Roger Waters " Pros and cons of hitch hiking" (without the black box covering the woman's butt). Also from Zappa, a picture disk, two songs, reverse an entire side with label logo "Barking Pumpkin Records". And back in the 70's, even tv show personalities put out records, trying to cash in on vinyl success. Barbie Benton, a playboy bunny, got on some tv shows,(on the Playboy Record label). I BET, you could do a report on how many different "Labels" are in your collection so far. ALSO, find a reason to go to OHIO, and spend a few hours at the "Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Museum" it's fun. Take Care
Shazam by the Move is a very favorite of mine and that gold ish A&M label is the best version imho. Romeo Void. Keep an eye out for their first album called It’s a Condition. It’s on 415. They were so fun live and was always playing clubs and house parties around SF. ✌🏻 and David Sylvian. Mooooody ❣️
Hey Mazzy! I think I'm complete with Romeo Void now with their studio albums. Was able to find It's a Condition a few months ago and love it! I also saw that VH1 special where the band reunited for one performance a few years ago! Hope all is well!
Hey Hanna, So glad you found Radios Appear! Just so you know, the even harder to find (at least here in the States) Australian pressing has four or five different tracks.
Hi Larry! Thanks for the comment. Glad you checked out my finds from the show/stores in Michigan! I'll definitely keep an eye out for that Australian press of Radios Appear as well. Gee, can't imagine how much that one goes for. Would be stellar to see a copy though for those 4 or 5 extra tracks! Sweet!
AHHH Slowhand MOFI in your flipping. So awesome to see that. Looks like a big record show! Really enjoyed the store videos. Always fun to see stores from out of town. Great stuff Hanna. Rock on!
Hi Brian! Are there any record shows coming up in your area! Always love to go. Hope you are well! Thanks again!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I’ll be going to one in Fargo October 15th. They have them in Minneapolis regularly, but I avoid that city like a plague. I went to the Fargo one last year and it was awesome. Can’t wait for it this year.
Hey Brian! Cool that Fargo already has the fall record show date lined up! Why do you avoid Minneapolis? More crowded/harder to get around? If so, I understand!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Fargo does their's every year around the same weekend in October. It's fun... It's also the only one I've ever been to!
Wow, Great Pick Ups Hanna. Especially love that Clash UK pressing. Keep on Rockin!
Thank you! Yeeesss! I had to grab that UK Clash record. So glad it's mine! Plays like a dream, too! Cheers and rock on!
That third Subhumans album is so great, but kinda overlooked compared with the first one and the singles, the band sounds more mature, but still engaging! And kudos for Radio Birdman album, great find with fair price for a promo!
Thanks, Neven! I truly love this Subhumans LP. The musicianship is really solid! I'd love to find their earlier stuff, too! And Radio Birdman promo for the win indeed! Thanks for watching!
🙋♂️ Good Morning Hanna 🌞 ! ( First Comment )
Good morning, David! You are the first! :-)
Great video and awesome finds!
So glad you enjoyed this one! Thank you!
That looks like a cool record show! I like that Clash album too but I don't have UK pressing yet.
It was definitely worth it going to this show! I'd go again if given the chance! Hope you find a UK press of the Clash debut. Definitely necessary! Thanks for watching!
Killer score Hanna, wow!! I'm so jealous- I've still never been to a record show. Looks like an awesome trip and so many great finds. Really happy for you, love your t shirt too!!
Thank you so very much, Christi! So glad you were able to check out what I picked up on this trip. Ohh, you need to get to a record show sometime. It's like have 30-50 stores with their best stock under one roof! It's a record collector's dream!
...if you got the money.
Jamie T reference.
Nice additions, always great to hit shops when away from your home base. Currently in FL with a list of shops to hit over the next few weeks :)
Hey Tony! Yep, record shopping in cities you've never been to is a blast! Where in Florida are you record shopping? Hope you find some great ones!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Staying in Sarasota with my middle daughter and moving in my youngest daughter who starts college down here in about a month. I've got a few lined up near by and I'm meeting a friend in Orlando for some crate digging next week. Should be fun.
Nice finds...The Cult , INXS , and The Clash 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Thank you, Roy! I definitely picked up some heavy hitters at this show, right?!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert You inspired me to hit my local spot...They had 3 copies of Patti Smith Easter so I grabbed the nicest one...Was also hoping to find something from Suzi Quatro but I just missed out on that...In total I picked up 3 albums and 2 CD's for my music library...The hardest part is deciding on what to buy because I want to buy everything lol...
Love The Move. Shazam is a great album. Jeff Lynne was on their next 2 albums Looking On and Message From The Country. After that they evolved in Electric Light Orchestra.
Thank you Hanna for "Taking us with you" to the Record Show. I have not been to a Record show in over 25 years. Love The WHO Shirt---my Favorite Band. You found some real gems. Take care/stay safe.
And thank you for joining me on this adventure to Michigan! Sorry to hear you haven't been to a record show in decades. Hope you are able to attend one again! The Who are also my favorite band. Hope you were able to check out my Who albums ranking video I did a few years ago! Long live rock!
great finds Hanna, i check and i don't have throwing muses anymore(perhaps at the time i thought it was to poppy-at the same time i was listening to the pixies-nirvana-dinosaur jr)guns and roses-more rock guitar bands)-great store you where in -i saw a lot of great albums(the velvet underground live 69-three "fun house" in a row (lol) wow if some europeans where there it will be no more "fun house " anymore-it's a rock cult album in europe(for many rock journalists the best rock album ever), you imagine the shock for a person of germany or england!!!!! i have the grace jones cd reissue from "warm leatherette" great!!! the four first albums from patty smith are great(my favorite is "waves" ),love the sparks(i just have a compilation cd), inxs love that band "kick" is great(i remember go to the 1988 pink floyd concert in paris and buy this album on cassette and listening to that album on the street in paris lol), my favorite is "listen like thieves" more rockier album , yeah the clash first uk album great stuff a rock classic!!!!! radio birdman i have the same cd compilation , great band!!!! love richard butler's voice , and i just buy a byrds compilation from japan " Original Singles A's & B's 1965-1971 " great stuff , while i never found two masterpiece tracks (only on that compilation and on the same cd -greaaaat !!!! "Everybody's Been Burned" and " What's Happening?!?! " ) siouxie i have the two compilation "once upon...." and another "the best of" - cool Hanna i'am still on vacation, friday i go with friends on the belgian coast -i wish you and Chris great hollydays-see you byyyyye!!!!!
Hiiii Patrick! Sorry that Throwing Muses didn't do it for you! I guess they're not for everyone. Yeah, pretty awesome albums at the show from the flip videos I did, right? So expensive, though! I still need to get Waves from Patti Smith. Then I'll be happy! Oh, you need to get more from Sparks in your collection. Such a fun band!
Yes, "Everybody's Been Burned" is such a great Byrds track. Glad to hear you're still on vacation! Enjoy it as along as you can. Stay cool! Cheers!
Hi Hanna been enjoying your videos and have taken a while to comment. You have been showcasing quite a number of Australian punk and indie bands and as an Australian it has been very heartening to see your appreciation for bands like The Saints and Radio Birdman who have never really received the attention they deserved in their home country. Your enthusiasm for the utterly superb Radio Birdman album 'Radios Appear' is completely justified. What a great band and album. It seems you picked up the US edition of this album that in fact has a different tracklist to the original 1977 Trafalgar Records release. I hope you get the chance to check out this version at some point. You will not be disappointed. As you are getting more into punk rock I figured it was worth mentioning the Australian punk band X. The first two albums from the Californian band of the same name features killer rocknroll all the way as does the debut 1980 album from the Australian band X titled 'X-Aspirations'. This record is all about hard and fast rocknroll played to maximum gritty effect. I think you would really like it. In any case well done for your open minded approach to first rate punk music!
Thanks so much for watching, Daniel! Right on! I love Australian bands and have started to compile some of my favorites for an Australian bands appreciation video! Stay tuned! And thanks for mentioned the Australian "X." I have been meaning to check them out big time. I hope X-Aspirations is available for me to sample on Apple Music! If not, I will find it on RUclips or elsewhere! Expect to see lots more punk on my channel! Cheers!
Great finds Hanna, and I'm glad that Wreckless Eric is a 10". I thought my depth perception was off. As always you gave me a few things to check out, including Subhumans, Radio Birdman, and that Moev sounds very interesting. That Throwing Muses is excellent, and if you like them, check out the debut from Mary's Danish-There Goes the Wondertruck. Glad you had a great trip and the vinyl racks are looking great!
Hey there, Todd! I'll have to check out Mary's Danish if they are similar to Throwing Muses like you indicate! Thanks for the recommendation! Glad you enjoy seeing the vinyl shelves behind me! Next time I will try to display some albums in front for better aesthetics! Moev are worth checking out! See you next time!
Yes Easter is Patti Smith's third album and there is a story behind Because the Night. When I saw her in 2013 she related: when she and Fred "Sonic" Smith were courting back in the early 70's he would call her from Detroit every Friday at 8:00 P.M. One particular Friday he didn't call until midnight-she let him have it needless to say.
Concurrent to this, Springsteen had the basis of Because the Night but most of the song eluded him. Jimmy Iovine-producer of Easter-gave her a tape and asked if she could finish it off-she didn't want to.
However, whilst waiting for her ONE CALL, she put the tape in and-irritatingly-it matched her natural key. The lyrics are basically about her waiting for Fred to call and the doubt and frustration seeping in.
The Sparks album had 2 songs featued in the film Roller Coaster: Fill er Up and Big Boy.
Sorry for the length, cool finds!
The Move??!! Yowwzzz! Buy whatever you find! Roy Wood albums as well! Funny about the Clash U.K. debut. Yeah Epic released the U.S. pressing in 79 with 1978 singles sides interspersed with the album tracks leaving four songs in limbo. THOSE tracks(all essential) would end up on a compilation called Crucial Music with other B sides spanning their career. On Relativity Records,I believe. Good on you with the Radio Birdman! Skids?! You're killing me! Grails for sure! Folks,have a way Groovy summer and I'll stop using exclamation points to end my sentences. Keep On Rockin'! ( An actual name of a headshop/music store in Rochester N.Y. during early to mid 90s. They sold bongs,guitars,amps,whatever. Always a kick to call up and have the owner answer "Keep On Rockin'! in a loud stentorian voice. Alas,they did not sell records.
Hi Lawrence! I'm definitely on the hunt for more Move records! Hehe, glad you enjoyed seeing the grails I picked up here. It was a very solid trip with mega finds! Cheers!
Glad you found and like Subhumans' Worlds Apart. My favorite for sure from them.
Hey Daniel! Yeah, I'm really loving that pickup. What's your second favorite Subhumans record?
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Well, Words Apart is BY FAR their best. Others have good songs here and there but also plenty of chaff. If you like that sort of energy and a solid through-and-through record, I would rather go to Big Black with Songs about @#$%ing. Should not be too hard to find, and easy to spot with the green cover and the comic book drawing. SNFU is another great fast punk-towards-metal band. Better than a Stick in the Eye is possibly my favorite release
You always go to record trade shows. How do you know about those? Would be fun to go to one, but just have no clue how to figure out where there might be one. Thanks!
Hey Hanna, Great pick on The Move, which should have been bigger in the U.S. Shazam is one of the greatest records of all time. Way ahead of its time.
Agreed, Gary! An exceptional record!
Hello Hanna 👋 - The 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 Pressings of The Clash are almost different records - so a definite grail. The Real Ramona is my favorite Throwing Muses album & definitely is overdue for a reissue. Talk Talk were setting the table on Colour Of Spring - Life's What You Make It is incredible song. I saw Romeo Void opening for both U2 & XTC . I think Ric Ocasek Produced that EP - Never Say Never was huge in Los Angeles - sounded awesome on the 📻 . Great 👍 finds as always Hanna 😃 Turn On The A/C 💧!
Hi David! The A/C is definitely needed one. Been too damn hot...in many parts of the world! I'm with you on the Real Ramona - it's also my favorite by TM! Oh damn, I gotta look closer at the back of the Romeo Void ep. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Ocasek produced it! As always, love reading your comments and hearing from you, David!
Love seeing The Who shirt. It's great that you found a record show up in Michigan. There was one bin that you were flipping through that contained The Brains album and was like someone stole my record collection and was selling it as I had so many in it. I only have one Romeo Void album, but I do enjoy it and I love The Clash album. I'm a big Mink DeVille fan and it would be cool to hear the live cuts. Happy listening.
Hey Randy! Yeah, someone else mentioned that Brains LP, too. I have yet to hear them! I just can't believe all the cool titles that one vendor had. I'm still in awe! Oh yeah, you need this CBGB's live record for Mink! Hope all is well! Cheers!
Hi Hanna.
I’m from Vancouver, home of Moev. It’s pronounced like the colour mauve, by the way.😊
Hi Murray! Oh dear. I really botched the pronunciation of Moev. Thanks for setting me straight! I appreciate you watching!
If you are ever in Pennsylvania try Sonic Asension Records in Montoursville.......right outside Williamsport or the Silver Moon flea market on Sundays.Rockin' Rizzo records has 2 stands ..one up from and 1 in the back......tons of records.Prices are a lot cheaper cause most of us don't make a lot of money around here.
Killer record show haul! I miss record shows. I've been to one in the last 3 years. But a lot of my favorite and most important to me records were found at shows. They're so fun.
Hi Jeff! Thanks for checking out the Michigan road trip recap. Yeah, that record show in Ann Arbor was pretty ace. No doubt you'd be in heaven. We'd love to go to the Chicagoland ones sometime, but driving around there and the size has kind of deterred us from visiting so far. Maybe one day we will overcome that dread! I know your work schedule has sucked but I really hope you get to attend another show soon...this year perhaps! It's a blast! I must catch up on your latest. Welcome back to RUclips again!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I'm from the Detroit area, lived in A2 (as we call Ann Arbor up here) for many years, I'm glad you had a successful trip. You remind me of myself back in the day with your vintage vinyl passion (I'm 57). There used to be a legendary used vinyl shop (which became a used CD shop) called Wazoo Records in A2, which my brother and I must have spent half of our young lives in rummaging through the bins - you brought back so many good memories! Anyway, just an fyi, I was just at a Godzilla festival in Chicago last Friday (July 15th) and the highway construction surrounding the city is horrific, it almost ruined the trip for me. There is no good way in or out. Traffic backups beyond belief. Huge ongoing highway construction projects that seem like they're never gonna be completed. I'd suggest flying in, but O'Hare is nut balls as well. I say this not to scare you away - Chicago is one of my favorite cities - but just as a heads up. Keep up the quality vinyl hunt!
@Kevin Ewing Hey! Glad I brought back good memories with this video. Digging is literally my favorite thing to do. The biggest thrill is finding something you never expected to find! And yep, we had to drive through south Chicago to get to Ann Arbor and back. On the way back we sat in an hour traffic jam due to that god-awful construction. Ugh!
I never knew that Grace Jones redid the song Warm Leatherette. Very cool!
Great tune, right? She really does covers well! :-)
Hi Hanna, so many great albums, where to begin? That Move LP is my favorite by them. I love their version of Tom Paxton's The Last Thing On My Mind. Their later LPs, Looking On and Message From The Country, are also good. Love the Cult, need to get Sonic Temple but I have Electric and Love. I also have a promo of Radio Birdman that I got when I worked at a record store in the 70s, along with a white label Marquee Moon (sorry about the bragging). Anyway, I really enjoyed this video, what a haul! Take care, Michael
Hi Michael! Hope all is well! I'm looking for Electric from the Cult next. Oh, I'm totally jealous of your white label Marquee Moon. Wow! Top 5 record of mine. So glad you enjoyed seeing what I picked up! See you next time!
I am gladvto seevthe Live At CBGB double LP. I was at CBGB when these groups were regulars. It's not a special album but there were a few great songs. The Tiff Darts were major players due to lead vocalist Robert Gordon and you should love the song "All For The Love Of RnR". Mink Seville were special with Willie Deville on vocals "Let me Dream if I Want to" was a classic early Bowery song. The Miami's were a Great band but disappeared from the scene never to be found. The Ruff Darts recorded a LP that lost its edge due to Robert Gordon leaving for a solo career, Robert's best LP is Rockabilly Boogie with a beautiful remark of "It's Only Make Believe" an old Eddie Cockran hit. Great stuff I'm just sad you had to pay so much for the music, music is to be passed on not sold for profit. Anyone who visits me leaves with LP' s in hand. I got 90% of my music free starting in 1969 and always passed it along for good karma.
Hello again! Great vid, great haul - when is it not?
You mentioned that earlier Doll by Doll albums may be better than the one you have there. I can confirm this is correct. The second album Gypsy Blood in particular is great. A difficult band to categorise to be honest, but definite hints of new wave and power pop.
Thanks, George! Okay, will definitely check out Doll by Doll's Gypsy Blood. Certainly hope it's better than the one I showed here! I appreciate the comment!
Shock Troops is a top ten UK punk record for sure. Essential if you're into that stuff. Nice Radio Birdman find, as well. Cool stuff!
Thanks! Glad you're very much into Cock Sparrer's Shock Troops! I love it! I definitely paid attention to some of the recommendations given in my punk video. Cheers!
Great stuff!
Thanks so much, John!
Love your T Shirt……..actually, those two Siouxsie best of’s, Once & Twice upon a time sleeves are available as T Shirts and I think you would wear them very well 😍
Thanks, Julian! Ohhh, definitely going to see if I can snag at least one of those Siouxsie shirts! I recently found a vendor on Etsy offering a discount now on band shirts. Gonna see if they have that design! Cheers, and thanks for watching!
Hey Hanna-Thanks for another excellent video! Love the song Fields Of People from The Move-Shazam. Radio Birdman do a great cover version o' 13th Floor Elevators' You're Gonna Miss Me (saw Elevators live in 1967.) Recently bought 2 "I'm A Mess" pins, inspired by Wreckless Eric. (Also noticed Sid Vicious wearin' one.) Grace Jones does a cover version o' The Normal's Warm Leatherette. Saw Romeo Void at the Monterey Fairgrounds. When you mentioned Ann Arbor I thought o' The Arbors (from Ann Arbor) whose cover version o' The Box Tops The Letter is highly recommended. Noticed some fantastic vinyl as you flipped through: Sam Phillips, Shriekback, The The, Gene Vincent, Muddy Waters, Adventures, Fountainhead. Gotta check out Souixsie & The Banshee's version o' Dear Prudence-thanks fer the recommendation! All the best from John.
Greetings, John! Wow, incredible that you saw the 13th Floor Elevators in 1967! I feel like listening to their debut now! And then you say you saw Romeo Void, too! Awesome! I think you will really dig Siouxsie's cover of "Dear Prudence." This cover is also very good: ruclips.net/video/fmMu0F6sQOo/видео.html. ☺️
Excellente!
Liked the video. Nice shout out to flat black and circular! I grew up in East Lansing.
Awesome, Fred! That store is probably in my top 5 record stores I've ever visited! Loved the selection! Cheers!
I like that Shazam album... but if you dont have it get their first ! So good.
I’m definitely keeping my eyes peeled! Thanks, Rob!✌🏻
Those are some seriously choice finds. I have a beat-up copy of that Live @CBGB’s too! Just listened to The Real Ramona the other day, but somehow wasn’t aware of Hunkpapa. I’ve been interested in Cocksparrer and thank you for the pronunciation, you just saved me future embarrassment I’m sure. I definitely need to grab that MOEN album; I’m obsessed with Canadian artists and on a bit of an electronic kick.
That show was RIDICULOUS. All those Stooges LPS! And I even saw that ugly brown version of Pet Sounds in there. Great stuff as ushe! Later on!
Hey Thomas! Thanks for taking the time to watch, as always! Too cool that you have this CBGB's comp, too!
Yes, can you believe how many gems were in that bin at this record show? The prices were insane but I was truly in awe.
I'd love to find the Real Ramona on vinyl next. I love that album! And I think you'd really dig this Moev album. So good! This is the first time I've seen it.
Yes, cock-spare-uh. I'm so glad I watched that interview otherwise I totally would have flopped on the pronunciation! Cheers!
I ADORE Shazam, and I listen to it all the time - the epic Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited is just astounding. Big Beat - it is a good Sparks album - the issue is the stuff before was so good; if this came first it would be rated higher. Ha - Steve Carlson just showed a clip from Flat, Black, and Circular and pickups there!
Hey Kris! Still need to check out Steve's video of his stop into Flat, Black & Circular. I'd love to go back to Michigan just for that store alone! The Move's Shazam is definitely a winner and one to revisit frequently! :-)
Thanks Hanna. I didn't know about the Grace Jones cover of Joy Division. - Chris
Great to hear from you, Chris! Hope you are staying cool. this heat wave is awful..and not just here in the states! Yeah, love Grace Jones' cover of She's Lost Control. What a unique and talented artist! Enjoy your evening!
Talk Talk, great band, they did synth without sounding thin. Maybe you guys will find a Teenage Head recording on your trips. Not to belabor the Canadian thing too much, but maybe Carole Pope and Rought Trade, " High School Confidential ". My sister recently sent me her vinly copy of an underrated Canuck band - Goddo, the album, " Who Cares?, if it's lonely at the top, it's lonely at the bottom too! ". There is a live video church recording back in the day of Goddo brought by The New Music show, which was on a local Toronto TV network. Available on RUclips. Goddo was a bit of a punk rock combo thing. My favourite song of theirs is, " Under my Hat ", unfortunately presently ignored on Toronto radio.
Hi John! Yep, I'm still on the hunt for some Teenage Head records. So very hard to track down. I'll have to check out Goddo. Thanks for the recommendations!
Wow, that's quite a huge record show. Some great titles too from what I see there. I see they have the Harlequin album I just picked up, but a lot of stuff there too that I need. I've never been to Ann Arbor, but I have been to some of the towns on the east side of Michigan like Flint, Lansing and Port Huron since they are fairly close. The Color of Spring is an amazing album from Talk Talk, one that I put on my turntable a lot. I would love to see a post-punk video from you. I've always loved The Cult's Sonic Temple, but also one I haven't been able to track down on vinyl. Beautiful copy! Okay, you mentioned Robert Fripp, so now David Sylvian is another one I have to the must-have list. I agree that you need both versions of The Clash, they are different enough from each other to merit getting both of them, just like many of the early Rolling Stones albums. Memo to self: Put Radio Birdman on the list. Hannah insists! There's The Lost Boys soundtrack. I need that! Sorry my comments are always so long, but you always find some great stuff!
Wow. Great stuff. I have that Byrds compilation too. I probably got it around 1989 somewhere in Bavaria Germany but it could have been later. It has a DM price sticker on it anyway (9 DM BTW). I actually listened to it recently and discovered something sticky got between the gatefold - dammit - so I did some damage pulling it apart.
Greetings, Rick! Thanks for stopping in! Very cool you have the Byrds comp I showed here as well! Oh no, sorry to hear the gatefold now has some damage. That's a bummer! Hope the records play beautifully, though, and I'm sure they do! See you next time!
Love Wreckless Eric’s stuff - another great artist to seek out on the Stiff label would be Mickey Jupp - bluesy, pub rock style with a punk/new wave edge and again with Nick Lowe oft involved in the production 👌
Hi Simon! Wow, thanks for the recommendation. I will definitely check out Mickey Jupp. I often learn more from my viewers and that is awesome! Cheers!
Awesome video as always! Too bad you didn’t get a chance to stop in at Jack White’s Third Man Records and vinyl pressing plant. It’s about 45 minutes away from Ann Arbor.
Glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you! Yeah, if we had more time we most likely would have checked out Third Man Records. Cheers!
well this was long so i will comment on just a few,first off i love how you go on the road and show the stores,outside and inside,im also a Byrds freak and ive seen them more times than i can remember,just epic-i ounce grew my mustache like crosby had ,he wore for a time a russian hat on stage so i bought and wore one -i knocked on my girlfriends door at the time wearing the hat and stache,her her opened the door looked at me and said Harold what are you doing you look like a damned cossack running around lol,so yeah !! also wreckless eric came at a moment when punk,pop,new wave were not yet so defined,and he was on stiff label ,i believe so he was punk,as defined early on,the MOVE however were in my opinion one of the very best bands ever,EVER,they could play anything and make it better,Shazam is just a steller record,they could sound like anyband yet few bands could ever sound like them,,they could be beatles pop,heavy,folkie last thing on my mind (for example),they were even rock heavy for a bit. i saw them ounce at the Whiskey and never forgot,from hello,susie to eddie cochran songs they really could do it all,for me probably in the top of the top bands from the 60.a thru the early 70,s,i could go on but you get it.patty smith was great i sent a friend to see her at the Golden Bear in huntington beach one night,told him how good she was and he was going to love her HAHA ,didnt go that way she spit on him from the stage ,next morning he was still pissed,but yeah shes special,David Sylvian has never gotten the respect he deserved ,in japan he was a poor mans bowie (unfair)after japan he turned out wonderful esoteric music that few bought ,too bad because he was very good, anyway please stay safe ,hello to chris, tell him i just got Roy Haynes album out of the afternoon ,jazzy good. cheers and both of ya stay safe .🌻🇺🇦💙🇺🇸🦋NO WAR
Hey Harold! Thanks so much for the lovely comment. Ah, I only wish I had had the chance to see the Byrds live. Yeah, I can see how Wreckless Eric was placed in the punk category during that period. Yeah, I'm amazed by the Move. They truly can play any style and sound incredible! Right on. Loved reading your stories, too! Cheers!
Hello Hanna! I enjoyed your finds and the in depth commentary on each once again, thanks for sharing! Talk Talk has been one of my favorites from the early 80's synth pop era. Its My Life is one of my favorites from 1984, definitely prefer their original over the cover recorded by No Doubt in the early 90's, although their version is nice. The song reminds me of working on a production floor at an electronics company at that time, back in the days of Circuit City 😊 Nice finds, and nice that you had a great trip as well. I will check out the album you presented by them, I'm not sure if I have heard any cuts from it as of yet Cheers!
Greetings! Thanks for checking out this Michigan vinyl road trip recap. Sure was fun and I'm still working my way through this stack! Feel like I struck gold! Great to hear you're a Talk Talk fan as well. I'd love to get their earlier albums next if I can find them! Cheers!
Wow, some of those prices were out of control! 🧐
The inflation is bonkers indeed.
OG Clash! wow. I used to have that Throwing muses on cassette. Dizzy was in heavy rotation on mtv for a short minute when it came out. I'll have to check out that Radio Birdman, I love a good cult classic. Nice hunting.
Just watched the video for "Dizzy" on RUclips as I had never seen it before. Great! I think you'll love the Radio Birdman LP! Thanks, Rando!
"Brigade" is the album to have by "The Move". And, i see you seem to like "The Clash".
Check out "No 10 Upping St" by "Big Audio Dynamite" (Mick Jones's Band, & produced by Joe Strummer). You should be able to get that for around $10 as it's still a hidden gem (for now anyway).
I have bought 100’s of records over the last 30 years at FBC. One of the last OG record stores
Awesome, Jeffrey! So, you know the epicness of FBC! I was in awe of that store. So glad we stopped in.
Hi Hannah from Wales. The first uk Clash album is a must. Saw them on their first uk tour in 1977. A brilliant gig. You are saying sparrer right.
Hi Stephen. Thanks for tuning in! That's awesome that you saw the Clash on that first tour! Must have been exceptional indeed. Glad I was saying Sparrer correctly! Cheers!
