Hiya David. Godt Nytt År 🎆🎇🎆 Right off the bat, so cool you got that Thom Yorke album. I "only" have it on CD. Held it for very very little in my hands, but never pulled the trigger on it. Oooh, you got I Trawl the Megahertz. Such a beautiful album. My regret of 2024 getting Jordan the Comback used on vinyl and then finding out about the re-issue like weeks later 😢 I feel like I've let people down for not owning more Nick Cave. My first (of 3?) CD's I got because of Kylie Minogue ❤ Lots of very interesting records there by bands I don't know. I own no and have hear next to no Peter Gabriel Genesis. Bad me eh? Not looking forward to 2025 even though I'm glad to see the back of 2024. Take care David.

Goodbye 2024. I have the Eraser on CD, but I should really get a vinyl copy, just to duplicate more of my collection 🙂 I will check out the Prefab Sprout releases. I only have the first three LPs. What a deal on Seven Psalms! I got the Eletrafixion. Really great packaging on the last album! I really like that record. All the best for 2025, David!

Hi David, happy new year to you. I've just found this video (courtesy of Mazzy who tagged it on one of his). New subscriber now based in Sydney Australia. I found your Redux tag fascinating and am going to do a response myself. I have an Australian pressing of that Sandy Denny & The Strawbs LP, titled "All Our Own Work" over here and its on the budget 'Summit' label. My late Dad owned it but I don't think he knew what it was. I took it for myself when he passed away. I have a small channel (250+ subscribers) and tend to make my videos randomly, particularly if I'm inspired to do so by a 'Vinyl Tag' for example. I've been somewhat 'distracted' this past year so haven't dedicated much time to it. I don't worry about 'VC Gatekeepers' but I do see the smugness and snobbery from the bigger channels that barely give the smaller ones like mine any attention. I do mine for fun. Cheers and best wishes. I'll tag you when I make my reply video. 👍😊

Hi David. Yes, I like the Millie Jackson record. Her 70’s albums are all pretty good (Caught Up and Still Caught Up are exceptional!) but I tend to steer clear of her later stuff. Blimey, Paddy McAloon’s “I Trawl The Megahertz” is one of my favourite albums. I’ve never seen anybody else show it in the VC. It’s a fascinating record. It makes perfect sense when considering Paddy’s eyesight problems at the time. I’m surprised it’s not talked about more often. Happy New Year!

“I’ve got an eye for a bargain. It’s my procurement background”…I can relate to that. I really enjoy the post CSNY Crosby/Nash records, On his own, I just can’t dig into him unfortunately. I get a bit bored. Lovely Prefab Sprout! George Benson has a lot of good stuff, on the cheap too. Very cool Seeds! Belle & Sebastian. Fun band, though I don’t have any in my collection. I know I’ll be changing that soon. Caroline likes them too, as I’ve had them streaming in the car over the years. “Feel free to leave the video”…I worked with a packaging engineer for years who would’ve used the word “robust” to describe those shipment materials. Love Selling England By The Pound. Enjoy it David and happy new year!

Long time listener,first-time caller here from Newcastle. I totally agree with your comments on james dewer The early trower albums with dewer singing are tremendous. He had a stroke and ended his time in a hospice. Trower booted him out and done the B.L.T album with jack bruce before doing one more album with dewer. There's a solo album on KZbin from dewer. Check out his previous band if you haven't all ready. 'Stone the crows. He plays bass and does backupp vocals. I'm tempted by the Atlantic 75 series, there are few albums I'd like to pick up,I enjoy the originals and like to hear the remasters, genesis, C.S.N and STP. I really enjoy your channel. All the best for 2025 bud.

Oh man, that's a sad story about Dewar. I have that BLT album, and don't think much of it. I once made a video (it's on the channel) about my fave male singers. Dewar didn't make the cut, but I've always thought him similar to the wonderful Paul Rodgers. Best wishes for 2025 to you too. Let's hope it's better than 2024.

Sir David. Nice hall! Xmas presents to yourself. The Donna Summer LP is a classic. Donna Summer won 5 grammies (in 3 decades) and was nominated for 13 more!! Do yourself a favour - watch on KZbin her 1999 VH1 performance. A classic and demonstrates just what a huge talent she was. On the packaging. Trick of the Tale (best Genisis recording by my ratings) That is Acoustic Sounds / Quality Record Pressings. Atlantic 75 Series. Their packaging is the Gold standard. Their pressings are equally to a very high standard. I too have paid that high $$ for their pressings/ LP releases in the past. Maybe I had a couple bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale a.k.a. 'Journey into Space' and ordered from Acoustic Sounds (big exchange rate CDN $ to US$ - plus shipping!!) I have an appointment now scheduled in the new year with a vinyl record purchasing exorcist!! David - Happy New Year and Health and Happiness to you and your extended family for 2025 (and well beyond)

Hey David. Nice end of year haul! I have that Thom Yorke album on CD. Love that Donna Summer album. Great snag on the Nick Cave! The Seeds is a must! That Trower album is KILLER! I have most of his catalogue. James Dewar sang and played bass on 9 or 10 Trower albums I believe. He made one solo record in the 70's after that, but for some reason it wasn't released until the mid to late 90's. It's just an okay album. Genesis! Nice one! Happy New Year! Cheers

Great idea, David! A lot of thought provoking questions here. I love that Sandy Denny and the Strawbs album… probably the best piece of “cheap heat” in my collection. The Strawbs always seem a little under appreciated to me. Wow! Great to get a glimpse of your Dylan collection. I should really buy some of those meaty bootleg series releases… I’ve streamed most of the early ones. So good. Great story about The Clash 😂 I love Nowhere by Ride… such an amazing debut album. The cover is just so mysterious and full of power. Advice for a new channel was a very interesting question. Being a new channel myself, I thought about that quite a lot. Then realised that’d be my answer, to not overthink it and just have fun with making videos. Real life can be complicated and stressful enough without making what should be a little bit of escapism into something that’s over serious. That’s my take anyway. As always, enjoyed your video and tempted to have a go myself before having a go at the Vinyl Tag 2025. Cheers, Jack

This was an excellent idea David! I have a Canadian reissue of that VU record. Picked that up in my high school days. Loved your assessment of The River. That’s a very cool Clash story. Genesis too! Amazing memories! Wow! That’s a lot of Bob Dylan. I saw The Strawbs do an acoustic set in Toronto back in /03 with Dave Cousins. Patty actually went to that show with me. Agree with you on Phil’s abilities behind the kit, though Ginger Baker is my favorite. Walk Across The Rooftops is outstanding. I like that Mary Chapin Carpenter album as well. The Donna’s are fun. I have a CD collection of their stuff. Despite not being a big prog enthusiast, I do love Genesis. Never got to see them, but did get to three Gabriel concerts over the years. I have a CD copy of that Ride album. ✌️

Greetings from Nashville, David! You are my top guy in the VC! Really you enjoy your videos. We are about the same age. I'm not retired yet. Still working. Am in outside sales so on the other side of the desk from procurement. And, like you, into music and the outdoors. More hiking than biking. Oh and, have two daughters as well! And, about 7 years had my prostate removed. Your story is very much like mine. My GP had been watching my PSA at my annual check ups and the day after one particular check up I got "the call", which sent me on my prostate journey of biopsies and everything that follows those and then a year of active watching and then the decision to have it removed. And now the annual PSA and fingers crossed for the call the next morning to hear those words "no detectable cancer". Thank you again for all your videos and particularly this PSA (public service announcement) about the PSA. All the best!
@davidatkinson-Music-and-More11 күн бұрын
Excellent Scott. Thanks for getting in touch. So good that your experience to date is proving positive. Scary moments though, without a doubt. And the anxiety around repeat PSA tests do hang around for a while, and I can say my experience is that the anxiety all but disappears by the time you get to ten years. Good luck to you going forward. Like you suggest, staying active is not only beneficial in a general sense, it really helps in recovery from a serious illness. I try my best to eliminate complacency, and it's not always easy, but keeping moving is essential. You won't have picked it up but, for the last fifteen years before I retired, I used to train sales professionals on how to negotiate with procurement pros, balancing that with consulting in the procurement field. I loved working with sales guys and gals, as they typically had a more positive and optimistic outlook than their procurement counterparts! I did work with sales pros all over the place - USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, India, Malaysia, and all over Europe. What a blast! Those vinyl records I picked up on days off in these places have a special place in my collection!
