That’s an epic 80s box JT! What a tragedy to lose Karl so young. He is one of my favorite songwriters along with Mike Scott. I was in awe of the New Order and World Party groupings! You are very fortunate to have such beautiful OG copies of those titles. They are absolute treasures! Back in 1986 I can still remember blowing up my ears with a $5,000.00 car audio system cranking Gene Loves Jezebel’s Desire! lol. 80s music holds such great memories! Thanks for sharing your great grabs!
Thank you, Steve ! I started these two boxes with 80's synth, and it has grown throughout my collecting ! I like to put bands side by side somewhat randomly, although, this year I should alphabetize.. well see ! We might go back to Randy's doughnuts again on Saturday.. Sean wants to film it for his channel.. "Let's Travel With Sean". He is the one that got me started video making 4 years ago. I do love 80's music, and of course bands like REM The Replacements, The Pixies The Cure Talking Heads Devo.. On and on !
Very sad news ! I picked those records the night before.. Found out in the morning that Karl had died ! I will love his World Party music, always .. Thanks !
Thanks.. This was fun and a change of pace from my record hunting videos. I have added to these 2 boxes a little bit... And, I need to start a third 80's box ! Haha 🎵
Hello Mike.. I held back on other titles.. As they weren't a part of this box in my living room. I enjoyed your vclt to Mr. Rankins, I would love to send him something, maybe I will ! Cheers, mate, and see you on yours ! ✌️
That Knack record sent me down the Doug Fieger rabbit hole. Sunset Bombers and Sky were his previous bands. Sailor's Delight by Sky is my favorite. Thanks for sharing these awesome albums, JT!
I had no idea about Doug's previous bands, thanks for this Ralph ! I will look into this as i have to know, being a Knack fan ! Always like hearing from you..
Hey JT, another fun video! Your Bananarama collection triggered some memories. Around 1989, I was working at a talent booking agency and Bananarama was a client. On one particular day, they made an announcement over the PA that there were free BR tickets to see them at the Universal Amphitheater. So I ended up going on a date with one of the assistants in the office to see that show. Not one of my favorite concerts by any means but she wanted to see them so I did it for her😊
Nice memory.. and seeing artists that we usually wouldn't care to see is good for the musical soul ! At the time.. I didn't really care for them, although "Venus" was a pretty catchy cover ! I think I just like having this history, and I do like 80's dance / pop more now than back in the day ! Thanks, Scott
That was like a trip through my own record collection. I used to pick up hundreds of 80s titles at Moby Disc on Ventura Blvd. in L.A. for a buck. Sometimes as low as 10 cents. Those were the glory days of record buying.
Yeah.. for me, the deals are still here in Reno ! I still pick up records for 1.00 thrifting and lately .. 3 Blondie Japanese 7" sealed for 6.00 each.. They are valuable. I end up meeting folks who want to sell. Cool to hear about Ventura Blvd and Moby Disc. We will be in LA on Friday night ! Thanks for watching 👍
So many great bands, and titles, Jt! I love Soul II Soul. Great production. Beasties !!! You know I love that promo copy of your Pet Shop Boys album. I need to rediscover my Billy Idol albums. All of those albums look minty. Beautiful New Order titles. I wish I had Stars on vinyl. I love the OMD covers as well. This video serves as a reminder of just how many great bands there were from the 80s. Sade‘s music soothes my soul. I still can’t believe it, $.25 each for the Depeche Mode albums👍🏆 essential Blondie. I also need to recover my Human League records. Great stuff
I might look for Paul's Boutique in my travels, or Ill Communication. You know me, I group my records together by bands, and then remember where I put them.. Hopefully ! Also, I am gonna get a copy of Plastic Letters with Obi, well see ! Between Bill's garage, and that amazing thrift haul, I have quite a few Depeche Mode albums ! Do you mean Stars from Montreal ? I have them on Cd.. Great band, good music ! Thanks, Mark ☺
Hey Walter ! You gave been with me on my picking journey.. The Bill's records averaged 5 or 6 dollars a piece.. But many of these were part of two 100 record hauls each, at 25 cents a piece ! All of the Depeche Mode and New Order were part of those amazing and very clean scores. I need to check that store soon to see if I get lucky again... Thank you, always 😊
Heck, I don't mind if comments are short or long ! I enjoy hearing from folks. We're in LA tonight for the weekend . Thanks 🎵 I'm glad you liked seeing these records !
I love that Ian Gomm album and that is a great cover for Sniff N' The Tears. The Textones album has an interesting Bob Dylan cover. I'm still trying to find where I misplaced that Gene Loves Jezebel album. Maybe one day ... When I was in Norway, I saw a sculpture made by A-ha's lead singer. It's a shame about Karl Wallinger. I am also a big Beat Farmers' fan. I need to get more by The Tubes. Wonderful 80's box. Cheers.
Thanks, Randy ! It's fun keeping these two boxes close at hand.. I need to start a third ! Haha I think I know The Textones Dylan cover.. I will have a look. The first Tubes record is very good, you might have it.. Cool thing that you like The Beat Farmers !
Thanks , that was really cool to see. Even though I have many of them already, some I have never seen before and wish I had also. Big Country is an all-time favorite. Their later stuff was awesome. Always been a Beat Farmers fan. So cool live. And I can say that I am still in love with Aimee Mann..Good stuff man. Bring on the punk video!
I will bring on the punk box ! We're traveling right now.. Japan. Aimee Mann is terrific, and I never saw The Beat Farmers live... too bad ! Thanks for the recommendation on later Big Country LPs.. I'll have a look ! Thanks, Dave 🎵
Thanks, man ! Were on the way to do a little traveling again Robbie. Sean has spring break, and he turns 10 in a week's time ! Thanks for checking this living room box out !
Will do ! My kid is on spring break coming up.. I will get one together for next month ! Reno's own.. 7 Seconds has to be in the mix for this one 🥴Thanks for checking my vid out !
I do really like the first three Blondie albums, much more punk oriented. Goodbye Jumbo is one of my all time favorite albums. Men Without Hats is also such a fun album. Nice stuff JT
I definitely like the 1st three the best ! .. And the others, as well ! Karl was the class of '57.. like me. I didn't know he was ill, a bit shocking, as I am a big fan, Steve 🎵
Hi JT!!! awsome box of vinyl and very 80's synthpop..... and that's so cool. All those records looked almost minty and in perfect condition too. Had no idea Yazoo changed their name to Yaz, why?? Cool to see some Weird Al in the mix, down here back in the day we only knew about his music watching some videos, but mostly we never got the joke because of the language barrier. cheers and be well
Now you can hear Weird Al.. And get the humor ! Next month I really need to bust out many of my punk rock albums in the same kind of format.. A metal box would be cool as well. Chao Pescao !
Hey Dave ! Record hunting is fun, isn't it.. It gets us into bands that we only knew a little or nothing about ! I like all this music, and my issue is that I like almost.. Everything ! Haha 🎵 Thanks, man. I'm glad you got your computer up and running..
I ❤ this, Jt! The 80 is my jam. Major Tom by Peter Schilling is a favorite I loved the Soul II Soul album. 18 years old when this was released. UK copy of The Hurting by Tears For Fears! That record is rarely for sale on Discogs with the alternate cover. So many favorites, Erasure, A-ha, Eurythmics... 😊 Very heartbreaking news about Karl Wallinger. It is great you have those World Party albums.
So strange.. I spontaneously added the World Party records the night before doing this video.. And I heard the news in the morning about Karl ! Isn't Major Tom amazing by Peter Shilling ! I was lucky to come across that Tears For Fears.. I know remember where I picked it up. ( Antique Mall for 8.00 ) !! Thanks, Catherine 😉
ruclips.net/video/uywr2XsozIg/видео.htmlsi=bNYaZuJDmHDTETDp I found this video today of Karl Wallinger recording "Is It Like Today ". I think you will like this. @@jtsrecordroom3963
Hi JT. I have a soft spot for Sniff 'n' The Tears, Ian Gomm, Katrina And The Waves (!), World Party (RIP Karl Wallinger), the Beat Farmers, Adam Ant and Haircut 100 ... I was listening to 'Fair & Tender Ladies' by Gene Clark & Carla Olsen recently on a Gene Clark comp.
The opener off of "So Rebellious A Lover" is good too.. The Drifter ! One of my favorite Gene songs is "Sister Moon' on Two Sides To Every Story. I think I told you before.. That's Kai's toy spinning top in front of their house on the bench that Gene is sitting on in Comptche, California. Just east of Mendocino. I'm pleased that you like a lot of this music, Carl 😉
This was superb Jt. I used to sneer at this stuff, but I was wrong. I’ve been picking up 80s stuff lately. Better late than never right? Yes please, show your punk records. Amazing condition on these records. Cheers my friend.
Me too ! I liked some of the synth back in the 80's.. But was not aware of the wealth of good bands and songwriting ! I will show a box of punk in about a month's time.. Good idea ! See you, Jack 🙂
Jt, I'm a big fan of 12" Singles and you've got some killers. I like how you're one of the few VC who can go from Sinatra to hip hop and everything in between. Eclectic is the best way to be I think. The Icehouse album called Flowers is really 80's pop. I love Gen X. Although at the moment I only have a best of and the self titled debut. I've been looking out of for Valley Of The Dolls & Kiss Me Deadly to complete the catalogue. New Order another amazing band. I have to check out World Party. I remember the single Ship Of Fools, but I followed The Waterboys instead at the time. I would love a copy of Eat It!! I missed the boast on Depeche Mode, but have been playing catch up as I really dig 'em these days. True Colours is such a great record. Great stuff mate. Cheers...Ben
I like to mix it up so I don't get music burn out ! Karl Wallinger's Beatles And Dylan covers are good too, besides all of his deep catalog. I only have The Waterboys on Cd, and a lot of it, I haven't listened to them for quite awhile. My nephew Jared ( drummer with Rivers Of Nihil ) was crazy about Weird Al as a kid when he lived with me ! I like New Order really as much as Joy Division ! I t would be cool to get you a copy of "Eat It".. Weird Al Plays a mean Accordion break on that one.. I think ? Haha 😉 Thanks, Ben
Yeah.. She's great. Her work with Gene Clark was excellent. Kai Clark.. Gene's son had Carla in his band during the last 10 years or so in Northern California. John York from The Byrds was also in Kai's band and.. So was I ! Haha 🙂I was in his ( our ) first band for 8 years. 1993-2000 Thanks for checking this one out !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Oh no way! I’ve seen Kai’s bands a couple of times at tribute shows for his dad at the Chapel in SF but it would have been later. Small world! I’m a huge Gene Clark fan. I think his album with Carla is flawless. One of my very favorites.
That's funny ! I am glad I mentioned it, and cool that you mentioned Carla ! I knew Kai's Mom and older brother, Kelly. Kai and I were a Lake Tahoe band at first.. then cut a single for "Full Circle" A Tribute To Gene Clark in 1999 called "In My Heart" a song for his dad.. It is the last track on the double album
He lives close, ( 70 miles or so ) and our kids play occasionally. He has always been a good friend and band partner. I teamed up with him when he was 18, a year and a half after Gene died.
tommy conwell were pretty good. maybe 10-15 years ago i found he had released a digital only copy of what was to be their third album but Columbia rejected it. its not bad. worth looking for if its still available. some cool stuff in there. i picked up that first a-ha record thinking maybe it’d be good but didnt like it at all. same with those first two til tuesday albums.
Aimee Mann definitely got better with time.. There are good videos on RUclips with Til Tuesday and a whole slew of other bands that I enjoy watching.. I like collecting .. Everything ! Haha 🎵 Thanks, Steve
I'd say there is a lot more to the 80's.. Joe Ely, Robert Earl Keen, The Bodeans, Lone Justice, The Blasters.. and more ! I do get it, though.. The Jayhawks, Rank & File, Uncle Tupelo, Jason & The Scorchers and Peter Case comes to mind as well. Thanks again for checking my video's out.
I agree ! I'm a lucky record collector !! We're back here in Bangkok, and I'll be posting a shopping spree from Tokyo as well.. the records aren't cheap over here.. Decent enough prices, but back home in Reno, I get the most amazing deals ! I'm spoiled, Haha 🤣 Thanks !
I am waiting for the day when there is a JT's garage and then I will start making videos. Well I'm heading to JT's garage again to crate dig! lol. I can dream, can't I?@@jtsrecordroom3963
The 80s sure was a diverse decade and much criticised by myself because I grew up in it liking embarrassing pop music but in retrospect the songwriting was top as much as other decades - just some of the fashions hmmmmmmm 😂 Never knew it was just 'Yaz' in the US. Weird Al is known here but for comedy we had alot of our own and much of it put out on vinyl though alot would now be considered inappropriate. Strange to think of maybe I shouldn't be laughing at this anymore like you said we need some light relief but not at others expense (keep it to myself maybe?) You had a nice extra long linger on the singer from bow wow wow there.......
Cool note on this video ! Thank you for your thoughts.. When I started this box of 80s, syth 22 years ago, I didn't know much about many of the synth bands. I was into all of the usual suspects, The Police, The Cure, Tom Petty.. on and on ! Now, I appreciate almost all of them for the strength of songwriting and melody. I held off showing my Replacements , Husker Du, and REM records, as they weren't a part of this box anyway. Cheers. 🎵
so you have some 1980's albums? Soul to soul, Dexty's Midnight Runner!!! Hair cut 100 ? Big Country , Janet Jackson control , Fix - Reach the Beach , Peter Schilling - error in the system Katrina and the waves , Billy Idol - Rebel yell , Boww Wow Wow , lot's of albums 2 questions 1. if you have a greatest hits album is it still worth picking up a bands studio album Janet Jackson as an example? any of the 80's artist 2.. for any 80's albums that you showed Dexty Midnight runners as an example do you have all of their albums or just the one album with the big hit? I realize that some bands had more than others like Depeche Mode , Blondie ect.
With Dexy's .. They had more success in the UK.. ( hits ) than here in the US. Blondie, as you know, was big here, Europe and the UK.. Worldwide, actually. Depeche Mode.. more in the UK.. but they did well here in the US and Canada, too !
1. with ZZ Top I only have their greatest hits Styx only their greatest hits Jefferson airplane only their Best of. 2. for bands of the 80's I have albums that are classics I don't have everyone example I have Dio - Holy Diver , Last in line BUT NOT Sacred heart and the others I have Def Leppards High n Dry , Pyromania and Hysteria BUT NOT On through the night. Iron Maiden 6 out of 9.
🎶 That was the river , this is the sea 🌊 🎶 🎸
Couldn't have quoted it better.. All of my Waterboys is on Cd. I need to fix that ! Haha 😉
Great collection
Thanks so much ! Appreciated 🙂 I like the 80's !
That’s an epic 80s box JT! What a tragedy to lose Karl so young. He is one of my favorite songwriters along with Mike Scott. I was in awe of the New Order and World Party groupings!

Love it great hype stickers
Very cool hypes.. I like the Weird Al ones especially ! "My Bologna" !!! Hehe 😆
Very sad news about Karl Wallinger, his music takes me back. Timeless stuff.
Very sad news ! I picked those records the night before.. Found out in the morning that Karl had died ! I will love his World Party music, always .. Thanks !
All in beautiful shape. Great stuff 👍 JT

Excellent.. Will do ! I hope to have one more video up for next week. Thanks very much 🎵
I like your rock n roll playlist ! I just put one together on my home page as well.. " 60's Pop & Garage" singles ! Cheers 👍
JT, some great 80's discs. They are in beautiful condition and are superb looking records.
Hello Mike.. I held back on other titles.. As they weren't a part of this box in my living room. I enjoyed your vclt to Mr. Rankins, I would love to send him something, maybe I will ! Cheers, mate, and see you on yours ! ✌️
I'm on a Blondie kick right now ! Ted traded 3 Blondie 7 inch with Japanese OBI's for stuff he wanted. 😊
That Knack record sent me down the Doug Fieger rabbit hole. Sunset Bombers and Sky were his previous bands. Sailor's Delight by Sky is my favorite. Thanks for sharing these awesome albums, JT!
I had no idea about Doug's previous bands, thanks for this Ralph ! I will look into this as i have to know, being a Knack fan ! Always like hearing from you..
Hey JT, another fun video! Your Bananarama collection triggered some memories. Around 1989, I was working at a talent booking agency and Bananarama was a client. On one particular day, they made an announcement over the PA that there were free BR tickets to see them at the Universal Amphitheater. So I ended up going on a date with one of the assistants in the office to see that show. Not one of my favorite concerts by any means but she wanted to see them so I did it for her😊
Nice memory.. and seeing artists that we usually wouldn't care to see is good for the musical soul ! At the time.. I didn't really care for them, although "Venus" was a pretty catchy cover ! I think I just like having this history, and I do like 80's dance / pop more now than back in the day ! Thanks, Scott
That was like a trip through my own record collection. I used to pick up hundreds of 80s titles at Moby Disc on Ventura Blvd. in L.A. for a buck. Sometimes as low as 10 cents. Those were the glory days of record buying.

He lives close, ( 70 miles or so ) and our kids play occasionally. He has always been a good friend and band partner. I teamed up with him when he was 18, a year and a half after Gene died.
tommy conwell were pretty good. maybe 10-15 years ago i found he had released a digital only copy of what was to be their third album but Columbia rejected it. its not bad. worth looking for if its still available. some cool stuff in there. i picked up that first a-ha record thinking maybe it’d be good but didnt like it at all. same with those first two til tuesday albums.
Aimee Mann definitely got better with time.. There are good videos on RUclips with Til Tuesday and a whole slew of other bands that I enjoy watching.. I like collecting .. Everything ! Haha 🎵 Thanks, Steve
I think Tommy Conwell was out of Philadelphia.. I think ? You know me, I like the back story 🎵
There was always good bands in every decade, but I can't say the 80s were one of mine, tho I did like REM, U2, Springsteen, and some others.
I'd say there is a lot more to the 80's.. Joe Ely, Robert Earl Keen, The Bodeans, Lone Justice, The Blasters.. and more ! I do get it, though.. The Jayhawks, Rank & File, Uncle Tupelo, Jason & The Scorchers and Peter Case comes to mind as well. Thanks again for checking my video's out.
Guys, it's all still in the shrink! There ought to be a law!
I agree ! I'm a lucky record collector !! We're back here in Bangkok, and I'll be posting a shopping spree from Tokyo as well.. the records aren't cheap over here.. Decent enough prices, but back home in Reno, I get the most amazing deals ! I'm spoiled, Haha 🤣 Thanks !
I am waiting for the day when there is a JT's garage and then I will start making videos. Well I'm heading to JT's garage again to crate dig! lol. I can dream, can't I?@@jtsrecordroom3963
The 80s sure was a diverse decade and much criticised by myself because I grew up in it liking embarrassing pop music but in retrospect the songwriting was top as much as other decades - just some of the fashions hmmmmmmm 😂
Never knew it was just 'Yaz' in the US. Weird Al is known here but for comedy we had alot of our own and much of it put out on vinyl though alot would now be considered inappropriate. Strange to think of maybe I shouldn't be laughing at this anymore like you said we need some light relief but not at others expense (keep it to myself maybe?)
You had a nice extra long linger on the singer from bow wow wow there.......
Cool note on this video ! Thank you for your thoughts.. When I started this box of 80s, syth 22 years ago, I didn't know much about many of the synth bands. I was into all of the usual suspects, The Police, The Cure, Tom Petty.. on and on ! Now, I appreciate almost all of them for the strength of songwriting and melody. I held off showing my Replacements , Husker Du, and REM records, as they weren't a part of this box anyway.
Cheers. 🎵
so you have some 1980's albums?
Soul to soul, Dexty's Midnight Runner!!! Hair cut 100 ? Big Country , Janet Jackson control , Fix - Reach the Beach , Peter Schilling - error in the system
Katrina and the waves , Billy Idol - Rebel yell , Boww Wow Wow ,
lot's of albums
2 questions
1. if you have a greatest hits album is it still worth picking up a bands studio album Janet Jackson as an example? any of the 80's artist
2.. for any 80's albums that you showed Dexty Midnight runners as an example do you have all of their albums or just the one album with the big hit?
I realize that some bands had more than others like Depeche Mode , Blondie ect.
Yes, Mark.. When I have a greatest hits album, I almost always want 2 or 3 studio LP's by that band/ artist.. usually.
With Dexy's ( Kevin Rowland ), I only have that one album. I wouldn't mind more.. I do like his music a lot !
With Dexy's ..
They had more success in the UK.. ( hits ) than here in the US. Blondie, as you know, was big here, Europe and the UK.. Worldwide, actually. Depeche Mode.. more in the UK.. but they did well here in the US and Canada, too !
