Great choices. Blondie Parallel Lines - fantastic album. Enjoyable video. The 70s and the UK just for the variety = nothing to touch it... Love the enthusiasm...
Great tag! Its never too late. Thank you so much for the mention! I love hearing about the obscure prog records that you have in your collection. I can never get enough of the genre. I hope 2024 brings you some great finds! ✌️
Great video pal! Totally agree about Squaring the Circle, one of the best rock docs in years. Really enjoyed it! Maneige sounds cool… I showed a rare Canadian album on my tag too. Long hair and beards are always a winning combination 😂 Cheers, Jack
Hi George. Parallel Lines is a wonderful album, so many catchy tunes. No expert n prog but you showed some good stuff. Killing joke is a group I really enjoy. Nice response.
Hey George, great response. Good on you for championing Laura Nyro, rarely gets shown on the VC, one of my favourites. Just picked up Numan’s 2017s Savage (Songs From a Broken World). Fab. More crate digging videos in 2024 please. Cheers.
I haven't got REVOLVER (not a BEATLES fan to be honest) but I do have PARALLEL LINES and DARE 👍😁👍 Also got that TUBEWAY ARMY re-issue,showed it in my tag response and had GARY NUMAN as a dinner party guest....I'm a big NUMAN fan 👍👍👍 Also got the ELLOISE 7" & 12" singles....love THE DAMNED. Really enjoy seeing other folk with records I have and enjoy,it's always interesting to hear other people's views on them 👍👍👍 The FAIRPORT CONVENTION story you told was really interesting. HARRIS PILTON and THE VINYL HUNTERS are fantastic viewing . Great tag response,all the best 👍👍👍
Hi George- just discovered your channel and have subscribed. Great response to the TAG thread. I also chose Parallel Lines for the Greatest Hits question. I liked the twist of shuffling the 20 questions. I saw Fairport Convention twice , once with Sandy Denny. A great run of albums. Cheers Bill
Happy NY, new sub mate..New Fast Automatic Daffodils fits The Madchester scene as being of that age and genre of baggy.. typically some of the more electronic elements came from Guy Called Gerald and 808 state, and New Order Technique. These paved the way for beats to be added into rock pop electronic music. If you listen to Elephant Stone from the Roses and compare it to earlier tracks like Sally Cinamon it was a massive evolution of their sound thus influence.. Sane with Happy Mondays with WFL & Hallelujah being peak Madchester. Was my time and I spent a lot of time in the scene buying records and watching bands like Inspirals which don’t get the love they truly deserve..
That Menage lp... Amazing Story. I've seen it online but have never actually heard it or seen it in public anywhere..W hat a great way to find an obscure prog album.
Thanks! Yes it was a weird find during a strange period (during pandemic between lockdowns). The last place you expect a test press. It is a great album, if can get a good online deal, worth a punt.
Hi George, My favourite Gabriel is III Melt, you must pick that one up you’d love it. The Lamb is the best Genesis album for me, maybe with Dark Side my join favourite Prog album ever. Fav Manchester bands for me are The Smiths, Magazine and the Buzzcocks. Last Splash is on my wanted list at present. I picked up Mountain Battles and love it but everybody I speak to say Last Splash is better…..I need it! Great early AA singles. Gotta be the 70’s. Gotta be England. Mike
Thanks Mike! I've had 3/melt for some time, but neglected to get the other self titled until recently. I don't really know why. Last Splash is an absolute corker of an album. Buy it and buy it quick!!
Love the Blondie sticker, great pick for hits. Wild things, great pick, same here, but for slightly different reasons 😉. I have heard you Rise above vid being mentioned. Andy (Suffolk) is a great channel. Harris can do no wrong (except close his kitchen door). I totally agree about Andy Rourke, he made the Smiths sound (yes Marr overrated). I liked the 4 introverted Johns. I hadn't clicked sub yet but have now 👍
Hi George fantastic vinyl tag. Great choice on blonde parallel lines. The dammed eloise amazing track i must look forward a copy at leamington record fair this Saturday. Have you got the new peter Gabriel io its amazing my opinion. Looking forward more videos. Take care and happy new year joe
Hey George, appreciate it my friend! I agree the Vinyl Hunters videos are great, it’s just a shame they are into probably the only music I’m not a fan of, hard rock/metal. The 30k album collection was insane! Really Likeable guys! Have you got the Breeders debut ‘Pod’ not as immediate as ‘Last Splash’, but a real grower. Need to get to Rise Above..I might even head out next week. Great pick with Parallel Lines. Look forward to more videos next year.
Hi Harris, thanks a lot! Yes I've got Pod. It's been a while since I've spun, so due for a re-visit soon I think. Again cannot recommend Rise Above enough for a browse at the very least. Take care 🙂
Really enjoyed that George. Given your love for XTC, and an affection for Prog, did you get on the Big Big Train? I was lucky enough to go to a new album ('Folklore') showcase at the Real World Studio and met and chatted with the band. Included of course was the great Dave Gregory. Lovely bloke.
Thanks David. I've heard of this band, but never heard them - yet another for me to check out. Was not aware DG was in them. Well done on meeting him, that is excellent! After seeing him in interviews, I always thought he seemed so down to earth, glad t hear that was the case.
@@georgeprior-vinylshowtell4934 Cheers George. We both know that 'The Lamb' is the edgiest Genesis album (and an acquired taste) but if you also like 'Selling England' you will love, I mean LOVE, Big Big Train's 'English Electric'. Similar sound, great storytelling with an English historical bent, and wonderful, often beautiful, instrumentation. Their singer David Longdon sadly died of a fall in late '21, but he was a truly outstanding singer - in my view the best 'Prog' singer of anyone outside of Gabriel or Anderson. If Big Big Train had been around in the early 70s, they'd be ageing millionaires now. Oh man, you're in for a treat.
Wow really eclectic mix of stuff! Love that Eloise single, I have the 45 but you don’t see it often in the here in the states! Really need that tubeway army album, I’m holding out for a late 70s early 80s reissue. I really like Gary numan but I don’t go past telekon.
Good one George. Some other, but not all, Factory label bands, qualify as Madchester. 1. James - from early 80's onwards - adopted the sound later on. 2. Soup Dragons from outside Glasgow were considered an honorary Madchester band. 3. The Space Monkeys (1997) Late to the show but one of the best (w.r.t catching the attitude, sound and beat) - my favorite single release album of the lot 4. Black Grape a post-Mondays band, also had the sound (1993) 5. Seahorses (1996) post Stone Roses - had it at times 6. 808 State (1987 onwards) A Certain Ratio, Joy Division, Durutti Column, New Order, Crispy Ambulance, Railway Children and others, did not have the Madchester sound.
Thanks for this info. A lot of artists I'm aware of here and remember but don't own (yet?!). You mentioned the Soup Dragons as a non-Manchester contender. Do you reckon The Farm would count? Despite being from Liverpool, I always thought they had the classic Madchester sound.
Never heard (of the) Farm before. No releases here on the West Coast of Canada. Listening to Spartacus on Spotify and RUclips I would say they definitely have the Madchester sound. It is surprising they weren't considered "founder members" back in the day. Thanks for giving me another artist to collect.
Hi George, great video as always. I have had a few Locomotive 7" from their ska period but will have to check out that album as it sounds very interesting. Good to invite the 'John's' to the party, the quiet men and as a consequence underappreciated other than by their band's followers. Many thanks for the shout-out, it's much appreciated.
Great video. I have that Chili Charles album and can confirm its a great album. Also have the Laura Nyro along with her others and I can tell you that you are really going to enjoy that when you give a spin. Absolute classic. Given you a sub as I think there will be some more interesting stuff to come. Cheers
Thanks for the sub and the view Martin, this is really appreciated - hopefully plenty more good stuff in the pipeline. Good to hear that Chili Charles albums is being enjoyed elsewhere, glad to have picked that one up.
@@georgeprior-vinylshowtell4934 with having 3 kids in a smaller house, it was more so having a couple 100 vynils that I didn’t want to worry about being destroyed, or rearranging every few months as the kids grow and need more room. I had my fun with them, it was time that someone got to enjoy them. I kept politicians in my eyes by Death, climax blues band stamp album, Yngwie Malmsteen rising force marching out, Judas Priest Screaming for vengeance, couple Alice coopers, couple Black Sabbath’s, wet Willie keep on smilin, humble pie smokin, and Hank Williams Moanin the blues. Those are my for sure rares or originals, plus a few I just couldn’t let go. I kept a few newer bands as well, cicada rythym, lost dog street band, and Billy strings. But overall it’s one crate now, and I can store them guilt free.
@@georgeprior-vinylshowtell4934 side note, most of the ones I kept have the name “Pat Bouliau”on the sleeve. They were part of his record stash from the 70’s-80’s when he was a youngin. I was doing a restoration job for his father last year. His dad said that Pat loved vinyls as a kid. Sadly Pat passed away a few years ago, and his dad didn’t just want his collection sitting in a damp basement. After seeing me thumb through them like a kid in a candy shop, he wouldn’t let me refuse to take them. So I’ll probably always have Pats old vynils, I don’t feel right selling them.
Hey George, great vinyl tag. Thanks for the shout out and the mentioning of my daughter’s video I really really appreciate it. Soooo jealous of your copy of locomotive, incredible album!!!
Hi Martin, thank you very much. No worries re the shout-out, a great and memorable vid you did there. I hope more people check it out. I don't think I realised how rare that Locomotive was going to get when I picked it up all those years back. One the most prized I have for sure. Believe me, there were virtually no teens collecting this sort of stuff in the late 90s!

Great vid, Brian. That live Strummer record is a great one, for sure. Thanks for the channel shout out. Appreciate it.
Not sure this was meant for my vid LOL!
@@georgeprior-vinylshowtell4934 my apologies…thanks for the heads up. I did enjoy your video, though. 😀

Loved your Fairport story.
Love your work, you just got a new sub 👍

I got real board with my larger vynil collection this summer. I pulled 15 vynil that I love, sold the rest and made a mint.
A bold and brave move. I guess it's a good time if you are going to cash the chips in.
What did you end up keeping?

What about The Charlatans as a Madchester band? Although technically, they’re from Cheshire via the West Midlands.
They've got that classic Madchester sound haven't they. I'd argue The Farm may even fit the bill, despite being from Liverpool.
Finally someone mentioned Andy Rourke - a massive loss
