Andy thanks for wearing that shirt I've always wondered what happened to my mum's curtains
Proggers in Cars Getting Coffee. I like it!
I'd argue that Pictures at an Exhibition is one of ELP's best albums and is certainly one of the best live albums of the era. Although other bands were using Moog synths, nobody was using them quite like Keith Emerson and the album served almost as a brochure of what was possible in a live setting. A good third of the set is also improvised around a basic theme which makes it more impressive.
And its live. On dvd!
Because Keith was musically and intellectually intrigued, hence his friendship with Robert Moog. Great minds!
Steve - you can improve Works Vol. 1 in two ways with one simple trick. Not only can you jettison the weaker tracks, but you can also make it into a trendy "heavyweight vinyl" edition. Superglue sides two & three together!
Haha, that is so true lol
I had to pause the video for a few minutes. I really needed to hear Squonk. One of my faves!
And after filming, Andy fell asleep at the bench on that lovely, English summer day, only to awaken and find all his albums had warped and melted.
finding a record you where looking for a while is so satisfying .so much better than buying on line .
i liked the video ,more of this
Great to see all these wonderful albums !! And yes, Caravanserai is really a gem from another time...Excellent video.
I know this will come off hokey but when I watch your show, I feel like I'm hanging out with an old friend. Another great show!
Lovely video! Please do more like this! Nice scores for both of you at the record show. I love going to the shows and I also set up at a few as well. Always a great time digging through stuff and finding some treasures!
An absolutely brilliant video Andy, really enjoyed it mate, and what better a person to go record shopping with but the one and only Steve Gould, love Steve, and Louise his wife, both are friends of mine on Facebook. You need to do some more videos like this, great stuff.
Very cool - enjoyed this one; thanks Andy 🙂
You missed out Kevin Ayers ….AGAIN!!!!! You really should have his first album..”Joy of a Toy” ….and also the wonderful “Whatevershebringswesing” to start with…then you can go on to other albums like “Confessions of Dr Dream” …Banamour”…”yes We Have no Manyanas…” and …”To Old to Die Young”. Alternatively you can get the anthology…. “Songs For Insane Times”. Believe me Andy you are missing out on a talent that nearly gave up on music after he left Soft Machine…but some obscure guitarist called Jimi Hendrix apparently gave him a guitar and persuaded him to continue…… I look forward to a review of his albums on your channel sometime soon
I really enjoyed that !
I am looking forward to one in my local area .
Your choices Andy ,4 brilliant ELP records, 2 great Genesis albums , superb .
Then the 2nd half with your mate includes the underrated It bites Eat me in St Louis , I have seen the band at least 15 times and met them at a gig .
Great video once again, Andy! Nice to see you buy classic prog albums. It takes me back to my college days, when I bought one great vinyl after another by Genesis, Yes, etc. Needing to study, but instead getting that Trick Of The Tail vinyl out again, enjoying the lovely art work, dreaming away with the music ... Nice to see and hear Steve Gould as well.
Absolutely loved that! A trip down nostalgia road, and such great finds! ❤
Like the Antique Roadshow for Prog nerds 🤓 good stuff
Oh, that looked a great boys day out!!! I used to love spending hours in record shops just perusing....and purchasing!!!
Totally agree about Cosmic Messenger and Trick Of The Tale....Great video!!! More please Andy, I almost felt I was there....
Wonderful episode Andy, thanks! Collecting is its own reward!
Nice. We're coming into winter here in New Zealand so it was nice to see a bit of warm sunshine ... and gatefolds.
Great haul, Andy!!! I have all of those on vinyl except the Moraz.
Pictures at an Exhibition was the only ELP album I bought. It was my gateway to the Ravel orchestration, then Mussorgsky's piano version. Great stuff.
Fun video. Seems that you have bought my old vinyl. We do like some underground overground music. Great fun, wombling.
Enjoyed. I’m so old we used to go into booths in the record shop and listen on big headphones to ANY ALBUM you chose to hear for free! Glad you’ve got ELP Pictures. It’s better live, whole thing on RUclips. I loved the concept, interpreting Mussorgsky by painting soundscapes.
Great to see you outdoors, Andy. Amazing albums you've picked up there. Definitely about time you had showed more ELP love. I agree Ommadawn is more interesting than Tubular. You and Steve make a lovely pair with those funny bits. Take care. Enjoy the weather. And Going for the One rules!
I have several copies of Foxtrot. You can have one of mine.
That really makes it feel special
Loved it! Great day out!
You've got a great find good job I'm always extremely happy I'm like a kid in a candy store especially when I'm finding stuff I don't have so I enjoy watching your enjoyment your sense of wondering when adding to your collection I find it never stops I have recently picked up Billy Black and Eddie Wilson and was listening to them early this morning getting prepared for you and I know they're jazz but these are original old jazz albums and easy to listen to and I love them good luck on your next hunt
Good one Andy, I really enjoyed that too.
I love a good record fair, you really got the joy of them across in the video.
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day Andy ❤😊
Congratulations to Steve for getting a Caravanserai - one of the best albums made.. and Scoundrel Days is Aha´s best album. Nice pop.
Wow, Derek and Clive! Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's darkest hour! I heard that stuff as a kid and was forever damaged.
It's total genius
Oh Sh*t!!! Ad Nauseum!!!!! Oh the memories of listening to that like naughty boys at school. Oh wow!
Great video guys! Great change up! 🙂
That social aspect of going out and finding the records and going through the racks with a mate - miss it heaps.
Good to see you picked up a copy of Moraz' "Story of I", totally overlooked at the time but an awesomely epic endeavour which involved actually going to Brazil to record the percussionists and employing the likes of Jeff Berlin, Ray Gomez and Andy Newmark as the band. Chris Squire (also involved in the production) issued the mighty "Fish Out Of Water" at this time and his and Moraz' were the best of the Yes solo ventures.
I really enjoyed this. As an old buzzard I miss having the album covers to hold and read and enjoy the artwork. Viewing this made me realize that the covers had a larger importance to the record itself than I realized. CDs are great but could you really appreciate the Mona Lisa on postcard.
And one of my favorite hobbies is digging for albums love flea markets Love yard sales love going into record stores and looking for old stuff lot of nostalgia there
A Trick of the Tail - First "proper" Prog album I ever heard - to this day is my favorite album of all time, and was my introduction to what would become my favorite band of all time. Its one of those records that I listen to and say, "I wouldnt change a thing". Im SO looking forward to the 45 rpm release by Analogue Productions (I believe coming in December). Ive ordered all the Genesis releases theyre pressing, but looking forward to Trick of the Tail the most....ordered two copies!!
That was great!!
It has got to be all about the physical record covers in the vinyl resurgence. I still have my collection from the 70's and 80's and still love the artwork and liner notes. I recently ripped some of them to FLAC and attempted to clean up the snaps/crackles/pops, etc. Results were not bad, but I am eternally thankful for digital recordings and can't imagine actually listening to vinyl, again.
2:00 That lamp post behind you makes it look like you just got a bright idea! Lol.💡
Brilliant Andy.
I own 4 of those the two Genesis ones, Tarkus which someone gave me, I'm not a particular fan of theirs but side 1 is ok. And Going For The One. You're so right about that hunter instinct. My small town had two record shops so anything you couldn't get there meant a half hour bus ride into the city. I was hunting for Abraxas, had tried Hmv and Our Price no joy, and a coupl've independents, no one had it. Thought I'd cut my losses, have a pint and get the bus. On the way back I popped into a shop wasn't even a record shop and noticed a couple of boxes of albums, and there it was Abraxas £2.99 ( this was 1980). That pint tasted brilliant after that. About 30 odd years ago I got a Hot Rats original copy, gatefold Hot Rats for a tenner. It was what got me into him, I only had Bongo Fury because I was a Beefheart fan. It was my gateway into his wonderful world.
Thanks, Andy. I don't buy vinyl any more but I still enjoyed the video and you made some great puchases.
Wonderful episode, deja vue! Story of I, Trick of the tail, Hergest Ridge, Tomita, ELP, JeanLLuc Ponty.
You're right, the satisfaction of hunting is part of the experience.
I do miss those days of going into town and doing a full tour of all the record shops and book shops. I don't go into town any more, I don't know if Reddington's Rare Records in Birmingham still exists. Deepest Purple was my first Deep Purple album, and it was life changing, but not necessarily all their best stuff. Ad Nauseum by Derek and Clive was an almost constant presence on the turntable in our sixth for common room at school, only occasionally ousted by Herb Alpert's Tijuana Christmas.
Great Albums!!! Most absolute classics!!! About Deepest Purple, that I had at that time, lasts about an hour, 30 minutes by side but sacrificing some sound quality. Spite of this it's a great selection (almost no edition on most of songs).
I bought all of the ones you bought, on vinyl when released, except the Partrick Moraz. Good haul. 😎😎
You gentlemen had a great day out .
Yes , I would like to see more of these types of videos .
Next time , definitely pick up the first Genesis Live album .
And if you ever run across any of these 4 albums by Max Webster , buy them in this order :
High Class in Borrowed Shoes
Mutiny Up My Sleeve
A Million Vacations
Max Webster
They are a Canadian prog / pop band that often toured with Rush .
Think Frank Zappa meets 10CC meets the Sensational Alex Harvey Band . Cheers !
We had a record fair today here in Salzburg/Austria. I had a table, sold some stuff, bought some stuff and i always love it. Vinyl is such a perfect medium, after 40+ years I still get exited.
Re: your addendum, I can relate to that hunting thrill so much - before I moved from London I used to love going to Soul Brother Records in Putney and Sounds of the Universe in Soho not knowing what I would find and sometimes chancing upon totally different stuff I hadn't heard of - it's educational! This is how I discovered Airto Moreira and Dom Um Romao. Plus these places are more like adult creches than shops because you can spend hours in there chatting with the staff. If you buy stuff online after listening to it online to check you like it, there's no risk, therefore no excitement.
Really enjoyable Andy and your personality always shines through wherever you are. One of my few criticisms of you is that you fail to see just how good Steely Dan were. They're second only to The Beatles in my book.
Back in the 60s, one of your local shops would always have a cardboard box full of old LPs outside and I remember buying Djangology by Django Reinhardt of course in about 1962.
Why does nobody ever mention Zero Time by Tonto's Expanding Head Band ?. Cybernaut is a brilliant track.
Also never mentioned the album Stud featuring Jim Cregan on guitar with the rhythm section from Taste, Richard McCracken on bass and John Wilson on drums. The track Horizon is a prog classic.
Another forgotten classic is Shawn Phillips' Second Contribution. Listen to The Ballad of Casey Deiss.
I've always said that I want Derek and Clive's This Bloke Came Up To Me, played at my funeral along with The Pogues Fiesta.
Finally, anyone remember Aubrey Small ?. Another World was brilliant.
A very good haul Andy! I only just found that Patrick Moraz album in good condition for 4 dollars. A little surface noise, but it's worth the price.
I love record fairs, in fact, over the last ten years I've picked up all of those you have shown plus quite a few of the ones Steve showed.
You should have a weekend away at the coast and come to the West Wales Record Fair when it visits Aberystwyth some time.
At the last one, I managed to find U. K. , Bruford - One of a Kind and Allan Holdsworth - Road Games, three Holy Grails on one day (I'd post a photo, but RUclips doesn't allow that) 👍
Good point about hunting. I'm a part time ebay reseller. Vinyl and everything else, and there is definitely a fulfillment gained from it.
.
Loved the stereo effects panned L/R! anyway, for sure much more fun to go through the bargain bins at the shops and find something unusual than the $20-$40 sorted stuff inost shops, though not saying not fun either, I glad those shops still exist and great to see them in small Cali towns, hope they can last a bit longer...
The absolute legend that is Steve Gould! ❤
This was fun! I don't share your enthusiasm for the LP format. I enjoy my old LPs but digging for dogeared used discs is often more trouble than it's worth. I'm always alert for CD & BluRay reissues though.
Cosmic Messenger! So flipping great. It kind has a new age cult thing going on.. but whatever. Top shelf for that type of thing.
Later, when no one was watching, Steve snuck back in and scored that Wombles album.
I realized I have many of these albums on original vinyl. I took good care of them, so hopefully they are still in playable condition.
Love seeing so much natural light:)
I'm not good at lighting
What about the album 801 Live? I own lots of prog stuff (though no ELP - not my thing) and the 801 Live album is top of the heap! With the great Simon Phillips on drums, which is reason enough to check it out!
In the 70's we had in Rio the ELDOPOP radio that played ONLY progressive music almost without adds and without announcing the name of the music or bands. A mining mission to fans.
The biggest hole in your collection is the first Genesis Live album. It's one of their best albums, studio or live. It's that good.
Well yeah it's worth it for the last couple minutes of Giant Hogweed alone.. just unbelievable high energy aggression
@@jeffsimon9594 I also think the live version of The Musical Box is far superior energy-wise to the Nursery Cryme version.
@@eximusic It should have been a double album back then... Supper's Ready or The Fountain Of Salmacis for instance... that would have been a stunner! To hear those amazing works Live.
@@eximusic The Live version of The Knife is almost...well..hmm...metal!
Yes, that's my favorite track off the album and the first version people should listen to when listening to the song for the first time!
That was fun. What a beautiful day for it.
What a lovely couple. Reminds me of my great uncle and aunt.
Great choice dude !
Foxtrot is essential prog but the others are in the zone too, not sure about Patrick Moraz as I wasn't a big fan of Relayer. ELP Pictures at an Exhibition oozes excitement and what it must have been like to have been at an early ELP concert. Great finds Andy! Caravanserai is the antidote to Visions of the Emerald Beyond, utterly magnificent. Al di Meola's best is arguably Elegant Gypsy. Good buys lads, a hint. - look out for self-titled album by Tonton Macoute. British psychedelic jazz-rock from 1971 that's stunning.
Andy, I'm right there with you on the feeling of walking back into a record store all these years later. It was definitely fulfilling a part of me that I had been neglecting for about 20 years (which coincidentally 🙄 was the age of my daughter). Yes, I curbed my spending habits due to parenthood. But now that they're grown up, I may have overindulged to make up for lost time. I get nasty looks every time I bring new stuff into the house 🤷♂️ oh well.
Good to see Andy getting some sun on his skin and air in his lungs, he seems like an indoor cat
Get em out by Friday is ripped from the headlines. One of those tunes that makes me think that some of what we're seeing is a repackaged version of things that have already been tried. And the tune it's self is cool. I'd own a copy.
I enjoyed being outside on RUclips.
I'm not sure if I agree with your hunting/record shopping analogy, but I get the pull of it, for sure. I'm about your age and there were some years when I did far less record shopping, but lately, I'm back at it more than ever. I feel like it's kind of addictive behavior and sometimes it takes me a very long to to listen to the stuff that I bought, which makes me feel that I might actually prefer the hunt to the actual enjoyment of music. That and the fact that I've been spending too much money (though not so much as I buy used and manage to find bargains) and that I'm quickly running out of space mean that I really need to slow down... It's difficult though.
Cool. Solar Fire by Manfred Mann's Earth Band and Rock Drill by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band are two progy albums that I recommend. Just thought I'd mention them.
Geez, don't let that all of that vinyl warp under the sun!
p.s. "Can't beat a bit of Cream". Love it!
Buying and owning albums. I remember that. Both disappointments and otherwise. But then again, I'm an old man.
Many an hour I'd love to spend in second hand record shops, starting riffling at the first bin and working my way around. Sellanby's in South Harrow was my favourite.
Right opposite South Harrow market which was under the railway arches. Even in the 70's [the market] was an anachronism. Good times.
Good stuff Andy. Also, you could use the sun.
Caravanserai my favorites as a kid. I think it is by far the best Santana album.
Foxtrot, the best album of the 70s. What's a record collection without it!
Foxtrot isn’t a necessity in anyones’s collection. Only Close to the Edge fits that criterion.
Absolutely loved watching this video. I went to a record convention a couple months ago here in Houston. I had let my fingernails grow a little longer so that I could flip through the records faster. I put myself on a budget of $250 all cash, in small bills, no credit cards this time. Four hours later as I was putting them in the car I counted 23 records. Since that’s an odd number I went back and picked out a few more. An hour later I had three dollars left and saw Focus’ Hamburger Concerto for three dollars. I drove home very carefully without a penny on me but I had a big smile on my face and thirty records in the trunk. Lots of prog-rock including Gentle Giant, Focus, Stackridge, Procol Harum, Yes, Caravan, Camel, and King Crimson. My favorite acquisitions that day were Fairport Convention’s Unhalfbrickung and Caravan’s Cunning Stunts.
Fantastic finds. Of yours I owned them all except Foxtrot. Of your chum, I owned 20-30%. Meditating on the covers was definitely part of the ritual. It also helped to be stoned. The Moodies were very hip on the gnotion. Hip gnosis. Break through the grip of the kundabuffer. Awaken your Being Partkdolg Duty.
You both struck gold today. What fun. Show us your hood.
Hey! Awesome video as always. Could you do video about albert ayler?❤
That looks like it was a fun afternoon
ELP is humous? I need to go back with my advanced age and revisit this band with an eye for humor. WOW! no Foxtrot? OR Trick of the Tail? Excellent buys. I just picked up The Lamb at 45rpm (but haven't heard it w/ my turntable on the outs, ugh) Rick Wakeman and the 6 wives is an excellent choice (and I agree, Wakeman rather rubs me the wrong way; however, that album is spectacular).
Jazz Fusion.....excellent choices, Steve. Santana is a MUST. Welcome is interesting for a jazz-influenced album. Of course, Birds of Fire must be in a fusion collection (and any Weather Report).
Phew - Steve hasn't brought any more Derek Sherinian into the household!
What you saying is absolutely true it isn't always the destination it's the trip and like a good vacation you may not end up where you started going you'd get sidetracked and end up somewhere else and have maybe even a better vacation
Andy, "It's not the kill. it's the thrill of the chase." Deep Purple.
I'm always a bit surprised when I hear of prog fans also not being into fusion.
I used to work at a record store here in LA that specialized in prog (especially imported Italian, French, German, Spanish prog), but the same people buying prog, would also be buying fusion.
To me, they seemed to go hand in hand.
I'd also see the same people at all the prog gigs and fusion gigs.
Only since the days of neo-prog, did the separation of the 2 genres seem to occur.
On your recommendation Andy, I bought War Of The Worlds on vinyl at a local Seattle shop for $10! Thank you!
I like a bit of Satana but hadn't listened to Caravanserai, listened to it on Tidal and really liked it. After it had finished it played The Gumbo Variations, now I've only heard a couple of things by Frank Zappa before and dismissed it as not my thing, but listened to the whole of Hot Rats and loved it so I've gone down a whole new rabbit hole now.
Satana!!! Carlos' evil nemesis!!!
_Can-Utility and the Coastliners_ may be the most underrated Genesis song. It drowns among everything else on Foxtrot.
I love the bass work of Dave Wintour on _Anne of Cleves._
Maybe you want to give a chance to Oldfield’s _Incantation._ It’s my fav album by him.
_Caravanserai_ is a pearl.
Can-Utility is my favorite song ever. Glad to see others note its greatness too.
@@nickfabiano7795 👍 Nice mellotrons and organ.
Oh man, I love Journey To Love! Silly Putty is super funky. From Mike Oldfield, my choice is Ommadawn.
You BAAAAAAAAAAAAD boy!!
I had to move away from the town i grew up in the record stores were amazing. This town one store with music It was a gas station with a bin of gangster rap from the early 2000s. Loot explosions happened in record stores for me when it was gone i got hooked on video games i think and staying inside in this new environment.
Nice to see mark shreeve. Check out assassin. Its electronic prog. Classic stuff.
I used to be a record hunter, but blues and soul, not prog but the thrill of the chase must be the same.
All first press OG's, nice.
I do it every month. I’ll drive to some sweet dig spots and blow my monthly budget. Sometimes I get lucky, mostly not so. But that’s the fun of it.
