What a wonderful shop. So fun to see you flip through all those records. For me, the joy is in the journey so it's just as rewarding just seeing what records are in stock, how they are merchandised etc. Thanks so much for taking us along on your visit.
Many thanks for popping in RM,I've been back since and come away with three more LPs and I'll definitely be going back for more . It's a cracking shop with something for everyone and really friendly owners . 👍😀👍
Hi Nick. The Box Tops was the band that Alex Chiltern was in before Big Star. I first heard 'The Letter' on a free CD with a music magazine back in the day, great song. Good to see the Gary Numan collection gathering pace.
Hello James,I'll be totally honest with you,I've heard of Big Star but have never knowingly heard any of their songs etc... I couldn't tell you anything about them 😲 I used to hear the Box Tops on the radio in the lorry usually 2 or 3 times a week....The Letter or Cry Like a Baby . Yes my Gary Numan collection is making steady progress....christ knows how many more studio albums I need though !!! PS.... you've actually just given me an idea for a thread ,thanks 👍😀👍
Abrupt ending? You done very well with that cramps compilation! Flipping well hard to find off the bone with or without the spex! I have spent more than that on a single once (but this was a good vibrations original of the teenage kicks EP by the undertones!) I know you never mentioned the price, but I saw it as you were flicking past the albums!!!!
If I'm honest I try not to mention prices unless it's a super super bargain etc... I don't want folk to think I'm bragging in any way. I do occasionally say that there are real good bargains to be had but a lot of it is luck/good fortune and right place right time 👍👍👍
Ohhh Matron! Love it 😂😂 3 x Comsat Angels!! Yes!! Slade! Yes! Proper record store! Blimey Nick how did you hold the camera so steady for so long? I got that Cramps off the bone album just the other day on cd. The Raincoats… nice. I love the Stiff label, one of my favourites, that was a really good pick up I definitely would have picked that one up. That is a great grail pick up, I love the Cramps! Mike
Couldn't believe it myself when I saw all those SLADE LPs Mike 👍👍👍 Comsat Angels....I instantly thought of you . I think you're the only person I've heard mention them ??? OK I paid a lot for Off The Bone but it could be years before I see a copy that good again !!!
@@nicksvinylbutty5488 it was so unusual seeing all those Slade and Comsat records, proper record shop! I am very late to The Cramps, but what I’ve heard I love. They’re a band I’m going to really try and track down some vinyl and CD’s. Mike
Looks like they had a reasonable selection there. I think I could have spent a few quid in there. I don't have much of Mr Numan's but do like some of his earlier stuff. I have also heard a few bits of his recent stuff and some od it's quite good.
A great shop with really friendly owners etc... I've been back since and went home with stuff I had to leave behind on this visit. I've got plenty of Gary Numan....I'm a bit of a Numanoid 👍😀👍
Hi Nick, I'd just uploaded my RSD video and noticed you'd made this epic. I bought that Stiff Comp when it first came out and I still listen to it. I would have found it hard to resist that Cramps album. It's nobody's business what you paid for it, and if you think it's worth the money then it's worth the money. Looks like a lovely shop. I noticed they had a copy of (I'm) Stranded, that would have come home with me. Couldn't help noticing that you looked at that Reggae Compilation for a very long time (you know the one)😂 Nice video mate. Cheers Mike
The naked lady on the sleeve....😁😁😁 There was another one in there as well,which I do own a copy of 😊 There was a lot of great stuff in there Mike and it might take several visits to get all I want !!! Who was the Stranded LP by ??? It don't ring any bells ??? 🤔🤔🤔
Hi Nick. This was an excellent video. Great picture quality, well edited, good location footage, and a bit of comedy too. I wouldn't know where to start doing a video like this, as I do mine on the laptop. Did you record this on your smartphone? ... One of my favourite songs in the background (Jackson Browne 'The Pretender') ... Some of the prices in the record shop were a bit steep. The Smithereens' 'Blow Up' at £40 jumped out at me ... Alex Chilton (The Box Tops, Big Star, solo artist) is one of my musical heroes! The Box Tops were definitely blue-eyed soul. Chilton was only 16/17 at the time. He went on to a varied career, including producing the early material by the Cramps ... That 'Can't Start Dancin'' comp is excellent. Mickey Jupp was signed to Bell Records in the late 60s with the band Legend, and like a lot of the Stiff acts he'd been around on the London pub rock scene. The Rumour were the backing band for Graham Parker.
Hello there Carl,I hope all is well....as far as videos are concerned,I do them all o my Samsung android phone,using a basic editing app. I'd like to do more polished,better edited,better looking videos but I am a bit of a technology disaster when it comes to that sort of thing. The shop is only 30 mins or so from me,parking is easy enough and I should go more often. I have been back since and came home with 3 LPs I had to leave behind on this featured visit.
Bit pricey some of the average albums in there. You'd find alot at record fairs cheaper. Good oogle at the reggae naked lady 😅 I've not really managed to get out much since Leeds but might have a chance locally this Saturday with a mate. There's a pop up shop in the next town. Cheers Nick stay safe 🙏
Hello there Martin....I suppose there was a bit of something there price wise for everyone and a lot of the records there,I've never seen anywhere else. I've been back since and the lady with her bongos is now residing with me 😁
At the end of the day,we all have the choice wether to buy or not and I'm sure you'll agree that the seller is entitled to charge what they believe is right. Granted,we all want and like a bargain . Thankyou for tuning in and leaving a comment 👍
Well they had real nice printed section dividers but where's the used record grading? Loved the shop background banter; yeah yeah yeah yeah. YT VC content kreator Pro Tip: scarf this audio bgm for yer record dig videos to relieve the inevitable YT copyright violations from capturing all of the pop music they typically play in record stores....yeah yeah yeah yeah
Second hand dealers are totally different over here in Britain Michael,it's a case of grading yourself with your own eyes and deciding there and then if you think it's worth the price. Nothing I came home with was scratched or in poor condition etc... Japan is the only country where I wouldn't take a record from a sleeve for a visual inspection,I'd completely put my faith and trust in those price and condition labels we see in your videos. It's not that I don't trust British sellers,I think we're expectd and encouraged to pull the record out and see for our selves. The background music is a tricky thing....I'm in a record store,what do YT expect to hear in the background,major league baseball commentary or horse racing from Ascot ??? There needs to be serious give and take with copyright etc... with YT and the music companies.
Hello Nick, the Boxtops had a few hits in the 60,s, I sometimes sing the letter on karaoke, 😆, there's a record fair in Derby next Saturday at a place called the chocolate factory, somewhere near the bus station I think, think we are going to it, take care, cheers, Dave
Hello there Dave,I'd hear the Boxtops at least twice a week on the Golden Oldie radio station. I loved singing along g to all the hits etc... while driving up the M6 to Birmingham . I've seen the record fair at Derby advertised on FB,it's on my hit list of fairs to visit. Make sure you take some footage etc... 👍👍👍
Hi Nick, what a smashing shop. A wonderful Reggae and Soul section. I have never seen that particular nude compilation before. I'm surprised the Judge Dread didn't come home with you. That Amy poster was nice. The Cramps is all the singles l think, l don't have it and have never seen it in the wild for about 25 years. Well worth the price in that condition. Stiff comp has people on l've never heard. A good haul mate.
I've already got that Judge Dread album 👍👍👍 infact I've got all I'm ever likely to need by the Judge. There was even more ska/reggae stuff than I filmed,all excellent Mike 👍 I'll definitely be going back !!! IllI'pull out me Judge Dread stuff and film it just for you ok
Gotta say Nick it was disorienting seeing you at the start without your great walk on soundtracks. I don't have it in me to film in record stores. Nice bongos 😂I was suprised to see (I'm) Stranded because a lot of my commenters tell me they never see it. They had a great punk section. Full of classics. Looks like you picked up some ripper stuff for yourself too. You did grab the Cramps 👍Cheers...Ben
Hello there Ben....I did ask before filming and they were happy for me to do it. The only thing I don't do is film people and I try to respect other buyers privacy etc... though sometimes I do strike up a conversation etc... The Punk section wasn't too bad and overall it was a great shop and I'll definitely keep popping in for a mooch 👍👍👍
@@benrankins4446 I know the song....quite a jaunty tune 👍 unless I've got it on a compilation then I'm afraid no. Let me have a think,I'll pick out something good 👍
