The 80s had some good music like any decade. Some of my faves: REM Murmor, Tom Waits Rain Dogs, Paul Simon Graceland, Sonic Youth, B52, The Replacements, Bob Marley, Dylan, etc.
The next box, I will flip through REM as well.. I think the 2nd box is stacked even more than this first one. I like ALL of those artists that you mentioned ! Thank you 🫡
Absolutely love that Rockpile album.I was born in 1967, started collecting records in the 80s, Green On Red, Dream Syndicate, Rain Parade, all those early R.E.M. records, Husker Du, Meat Puppets were my first buys, great times and a great upload, cheers mate.
Yeah.. I love all of the bands you just mentioned.. The 2nd box is stacked even more ! I don't have Dream Syndicate or Green On Red or Rain Parade.. I will re visit these bands streaming to have a listen. Thank you for looking in on this one ! Cheers😉
On the way to school in 1984, my brother and I heard Icicle Works-"Whisper to a scream". We made fun of it while it was on, but by the time it ended we were fans. Ian McNabb has a wonderful voice.
I'm so glad to have found that on vinyl, and the Japanese pressing sounds very good with enough bass. I have that one and 2 others on Cd as well.. Nice story, I can see how you kids, or me for that matter.. would have made fun of their song at first.. Great 80's music tends to have such strong hooks and melodies ! Thanks for checking this one out ⚡️
Great stuff again JT. Back in the day, those SUBARU'S & TOYOTA'S 4 wheeled hatchbacks, were incredible winter vehicles. I've known owners who've put well over 500,000 miles, until rust never sleeps. Thanks for sharing.
They really were amazing, Walter.. low and light, perfect for very snowy roads ! I would ski 60 days a winter on average, living at 6500 ft. and my Subarus never ever let me down in heavy conditions !
The 80's - an excellent decade for music; to see all of those great titles is very nostalgic. Seven and the Ragged Tiger gets better with age. The 12's are nice as well. The Flat Earth is another favorite of mine. Lots of great B-52, Police, Petty, and Prince titles.I've been after the Chris Moon Group since the first time you featured it. Great titles, Jt Take care!
If I ever see another Chris Moon.. It's yours, maybe in Japan.. that would be cool ! I'm gonna nail down a copy of Rio eventually, I know that they are a bit pricy.. Thank you, Mark ! The next box will be strictly 80s ! 😀
That’s a 80s jackpot there, JT! Great TP and Police titles! Cool Chris Moon info and record. Never imagined Price could have confidence issues early on 😂. Beautiful collection, JT. I was
I found that out reading an old article on Chris Moon and Prince. Chris said he was blown away by his multi instrumental talent and needed to bring his vocals out while getting Prince on tape ! My next living room box is a good one as well ! Thanks for looking in, Steve.⚡️
I can see why you love that box of records JT. Sooooo many great records in there! You probably already know, but Nick Lowe’s Pure Pop was named Jesus of Cool in the UK. Slight change of track listing but I think the Jesus if Cool title wouldn’t be acceptable in the US. Great Police and indeed an awesome B-52’s, Graham Parker and Nick records. Great stuff JT, now let’s have box 2 😁 Mike
I do know that, actually.. I paused as I read the title on the flip, thinking " Jesus Of Cool" My country can be so uptight and annoying ! To change the title was silly.. Trying to sell units in America was and is what they do. On the flip side of this, it's fun to have different album art and sometimes.. different titles ! 😅 Thanks, Mike
Yeah.. That's a good one ! All of my thrifting leads me to cool music like this ! I'll. have to check out their other LP.. Thanks for mentioning Naked Eyes 🎵
Cool Long Riders, great band, I have the EP and their Native Sons album. I have Pylon's Chomp, but I need to get Gyrate, another cool band from the home of the B-52s and REM! I picked up a US version of that Icicle Works LP, wonderful stuff. Echo and Bunnymen Killing Moon, fantastic song. Romeo Void and Simple Minds, both favorites of the 80s. Lots of great Tom Petty albums, all of those are just classic! Love the Rockpile and Graham Parker LPs, Discovering Japan is such a great song. Your collection is incredible Jt, thanks for showing some cool albums!
Hey Michael.. Thank you, and I will do the 2nd living room box in a few weeks. It's a good one. Not all of my 80's titles by any stretch.. I like having these records close at hand. My turntable is in that room ! See you on yours 🎵
Fantastic box of records Jt. So many great records, but enjoyed seeing your Graham Parker albums at the end. Big fan, saw him open for Thin Lizzy back in ‘78. Have all of those and more. Love these flips, more please my friend. Cheers.
The 2nd box is stacked even more than this one ! Thanks,Jack.. I will do another in a month. We used to cover " Let's Start A Fire" and two other tunes off of Mona Lisas Sister" back in '92 😊 See you soon
I am impressed you can remember the prices you paid on a thrift record. I sure can’t. Lot of great albums. Enjoy Long Ryders. The Vapors album use to be cheap, those days are no more. Fun flip
That's how much I enjoy scoring great records thrifting.. Where I found it, and how much is easy for me to remember ! Other stuff, I fact-check all of the time.. too much info and music to get it right all of the time ! Cheers, Steve 🎵
I just dropped Sean off for school.. Was thinking about your question, Steve. When pickers like me , and speaking for myself.. When we find a very good record NM or close to that, or even sealed for cheap, it is easy to remember the price, where.. The whole deal.. Lot's of good records out there in the real wild, still ! Just ask Mark 😉
JT! It’s been an awhile but you can send one of those copies of Ghost and The Machine my way!!! lol! That one still eludes me when I’m out in the wild looking!! The only one I don’t have on vinyl.
I didn't mean to tease with those doubles, Anthony. I just checked how much they go for, if I didn't have one.. I'd get the nice repress for 22.00 on Amazon ( easy return if there are issues ). I need to hang on to them to sell at some point in the future. The money will be needed at that time. Thanks, man, for watching 🎵
I do have a lot of duplicates.. Eventually, I will pack them up and sell at a record show, no hurry, though.. I'm still having too much fun collecting !
Hi JT!!! Cool video and a greta trip into memory lane going back to my good ol' 80's music.... i do enjoy listening killer pop music from that era like the cars, Greg Kinh, duran duran, thompson twins, Huey Lewis, Tears for fears, wang chung mixed with some Police, Ghost in The Machine maybe best artwork from that era?? i'm actually looking for a nice copy to frame, lol. Learned to appreciate Prince's music. cheers and be well
Right.. Not everyone likes Prince, I always have. Interesting that you mentioned Huey Lewis ! He was massive in the 80's for sure, and I like them too ! Thanks, Cristian ✌
I have an 80s box too 😊. I saw you have a copy of B52s Wild Planet. Regatta De Blanc is is my favorite Police album because Message In a Bottle. Having the Police Greatest Hits is important. Don't Stand So Close to Me 1986 remix is on this record. I have to have all The Police albums. Fun Fact: Sheila E was inspired to play drums by Karen Carpenter. Our Lips are Sealed is my favorite Go Go's song. I ❤ the drummer Gina Scock. When you travel to Bangkok, maybe you can find One Night in Bangkok single 😊
I love how you and I are into the details ! Sheila' father is Pete Escovedo.. Amazing Bay Area percussionist and her uncle Pete Escovedo played drums and percussion of Boz Scaggs Moments" for one. I didn't know about Karen C's influence. I do know that back in Oakland in the Escovedo home.. Carlos, Jorge Santana, and many others would rehearse constantly with her picking up all of those chops" Thanks, Catherine 🎵
There is a Live album with Rockpile, I saw them Live in Sweden long time ago We had tickets to Dave Edmunds and when they came on stage Dave Edmunds said Hi We are Rockpile, it was a nice show Billy Bremner was really good
I would have loved to see those guys back in the day ! over here.. I was involved with a wealth of other bands, but soon got on the Elvis, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds and Graham Parker train ! Haha😊 Thanks for your story.. And watching !
Cool collection, love those Nena records, and I need to get the Icicle Works with that cover and another cover I saw recently. I have the original US copy that I've had since I was a kid. Great stuff!
Nena is fantastic ! I pulled that one out of a discount shop in Bangkok.. Hope to find more gems over there next time ! Thank you for looking in on this one. guys ! See you on yours 😊
You have a really great 80's/late 70's box. It's always good to see Garland Jeffreys and I think that Escape Artist is his best album. You probably know that Graham Parker is one of my favorites and I I think his best two are Heat Treatment and Howlin' Wind. He just put out another album recently. The Rockpile album is a classic.
Randy, thanks for these suggestions. I haven't listened to Heat Treatment or Escape Artist in a long time.. Let's not talk football ! 😫 Congrats on you and your team.. See you again next season ! See you on your channel or Massey's Entertainment ✌️
My first band covered 3 songs off of " Mona Lisa's Sister.. OK Hieronomus, Let's Start A Fire , and I'm Your Man ! Funny, I don't have a copy on vinyl..
Jt if the Long Ryders are the first thing in the 80's box it's gonna be pretty damn good. Pylon oh yeah! Echo...don't have that one. I have the 12" of Romeo Void's Never Say Never. Love the Cars. Hard Promises was the first Petty I owned. Nice selection of the Purple One too. I need more Nick Lowe & Graham Parker in my life. Great stuff mate. Cheers...Ben
Long Ryders are very cool and jangly.. Byrds like at times. He was on our tribute album .. ( Sid Griffin ) " Full Circle" A Tribute To Gene Clark" Tons of good covers, and our original was rushed with no production.. I enjoyed playing on it, though..
Very true, we wrote our song the night before hitting the studio in Orange County.. The artists and covers of Kai's dads songs are excellent. Ours is the only original, a heartfelt ballad for Gene.
Nicely presented JT. Was this mostly introduced to you via college radio? I liked pop in the 80s but quite teeny stuff then by the 90s I was in a record shop so broadened my tastes. Some are not so well known here that you showed. Go-Go's only once Belinda Carlisle had a solo career.
Yes.. College radio, and local stations. Also picking up music in thrift stores. Much of this vinyl came from there in the late 90's and the early 2000's. Thanks ! 🎵
bought two icicle works albums maybe three years ago. birds fly and understanding jane two great tunes made me finally buy them. but both albums were disappointing. those songs were easily highlights. cool stuff dude.
I remember their singles being better than the entire album.. mine, anyway. Are you going to Boston before working down south ? I forget what you said.
@@jtsrecordroom3963 nah that trip north wont happen until maybe august. speaking of athens from your vid i’m probably gonna revisit while i’m down south. i was there years ago and went to wuxtry.
@STEVEHEROLD So cool ! I bet the recordshops are excellent way down there in Athens. I just watched JC's latest video.. Keeping in touch with the gang !
Did you listen to Beulah a bit yet ? Just recieved my 1st Cd in the mail.. The doc was killer, it's on RU-vid. The DVD has a live 17 song playlist on the bonus features !
Great Nick Lowe records! For me half of the rockpile album is fantastic and the other half I don’t care for, I think he’s a great guitarist but I don’t really like Dave Edmunds voice. I need to get some pylon records. Can’t go wrong with B52s and Go-Gos!!
Yeah.. I'm all over the place with my taste in all things music ! I'm getting ready to flip through the 2nd living room box. I have been a hard-core thrifter for over 20 years. This box was originally my 80's synth cheese box ! ( adding more bands through the years ) As I have gotten older, I like just about everything ! I like hearing your honest opinions, I never thought about Dave's voice that way, but I see what you mean..
