Sounds like a very busy year Sean. Best of luck with your continued studies for 2025.

You look like you definitely had a happy Christmas, Sean. I wish I'd been to as many gigs last year. I reckon I only went to a couple. Only one in the diary for this year so far, The Shovel Dance Collective in February. Hope you get your turntable back soon, so you can listen to your new records. Hed

Happy New Year Sean. What kind of turn table do you have? I have a Sonny Turn table kicking about that I don't have much use for. You are welcome to it if it would work with your system. I hope New Order sort themselves out for you this year. Cheers

Nice gifts and round-up of your year. Thanks for the heads-up on the Bond Archives book, I wasn't aware of it. I'm also a big Bond fan and will add that to the wish list. Two other Bond books I have enjoyed are Mark O'Connell's 'Catching Bullets' and 'Some Kind of Hero' by Field & Chowdhury. Cheers Dale

Morning Sean! You did well for Crimbo. Somehow I'd missed the fact that you were a Depeche Mode fan. I mainly got books this year so I'll only be showing them later this year once I've read the buggers.

1. When you get your record deck back in a mended state, what record will you play first? 2. Which Handmade Films have you seen, and which is your favourite? 3. Are there any artists whose discographies you'd like to complete in the next year or so? 4. Favourite 'Young Ones' episode. 5. Favourite 'Blackadder' episode

Will have a think.

Hi Sean. Question: Are you a fan of The Smiths/Morrissey solo music?

Hi Sean. Question: Do you any ambitions in regards to your amateur dramatics etc. Is it something you would like to continue or take further?

Hi Sean. Question: Best vinyl purchase and worst vinyl purchase?

Hi Sean,. Question: Do you have any ambitions to do more on radio. Maybe a slot on an internet radio show perhaps?

Where have you been, I've missed watching your videos. Anything new going on with you in the music world?

We had VHS of queen's greatest hits so you didn't tend to skip them. I agree innuendo is probably their best song and i still like it. Invisible man has grown on me too. Friends will be friends is s stinker yes especially when friends let you down sometimes 😅

Good topic Sean. Funnily enough Queen's Greatest Hits never really meant much to me though I loved the Superman II-inspired cover. I prefer to hear the songs on the albums, and a lot of the hits are a bit played out. The Miracle a turd? Harsh.

Nice reminiscences about your first exposure to Queen. You couldn't get away from their Greatest Hits II when it came out. It sold shedloads and seemed to be everywhere. It must've sold more copies than the Greatest Hits I. Not got Greatest Hits III? I think I can hear the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped. Hed

Great video! I totally agree with you on compilation albums being an important part in discovering a band or artist. For me Queen greatest hits one and two was my gateway to the band. I also heard the Beatles red and blue album, along with the smiths Louder than Bombs, before properly getting into both artists. Anyway, its nice to see you and your adorable face back. ☺

Compliments of the season Sean! We'll try and have a Zoom catch-up soon.

Happy Christmas Sean. The only Santa hat I've seen so far.

Merry Christmas, Sean!

Happy Christmas Sean!

Davros used to scare me. I've got Genesis of the daleks on vinyl where he completely loses the plot. I think retrospectively Tom Baker waa my fav and i only just about remember him, more recently the Eccleston series was really well written. Another highlight was the one with David Suchet he is such a good actor he waa brilliant in that one.

I'm actually interested in watching Timothy Dalton's episode of Doctor Who: The End of Time.Is that episode on the DVD you have? If so I'm going to purchase it.Until then do you know where I can stream the movie online so I can enjoy the movie? I personally haven't watched since Matt Smith was the doctor because I liked him playing the role and got sad when he was replaced.Maybe I'll check out the others who took over after.Great video and see ya next time.❤

Didn't realise it was such a short video so I watched it! Yes will do a response.

Good work Sean, I liked the cuts in this video. Good comic timing.

Queen, Bowie ,The Pet Shop Boys and The Living Daylights Photo etc.... Excellent selection Mr. 😎💜

Hi Sean, I enjoyed your entry. Some great picks. I still don't have that first Queen album. Cheers

Great entry Sean, I agree the Queen album is one of the best debuts ever. I acknowledge your attempt at the bonus qiestion. Good luck in the draw - Richard

Welcome back Sean. I didn't know that Abbey Road was your first LP. Interesting story about not liking Queen's Greatest Hits on first listen. I haven't heard Monster yet, but I will.

Hi Sean, Great hat! Lots of smiles in this one. Nice response.

And after Pet Sounds would've come...... Smiley smile. Nice. I'm not sure but were you being a tad ironic....... I maybe wrong but I thought Bowie smiled on one of those best of albums but I maybe totally wrong.

Great to see you back Sean, and a wonderful response.

👍

probably i'm filling on the lack of grime records on your channel... and in the VC overall... on my channel at some point. i've covered UKG / uk garage already at some point.

I enjoyed these 10 questions.

Thanks Sean for doing such a quick response. Great answer about the adverts! Cheers

Hi, I'm so sorry I missed your video, I didn't know it existed until I was browsing through and found it! Great entry to my old contest anyway, I'm not a massive film and TV fan but I do like some things. I do enjoy the Bond films, used to love doctor who but totally fell out with it when a certain someone came along and destroyed it! I'm a massive star wars fan myself, always felt like people are either star trek or star wars. That's cool you keep your tickets, I like to keep my concert tickets if I can, though I get e-tickets most of the time now. Once again I'm very sorry I missed your video so you couldn't enter, enjoyed watching your video 😊

Hi Sean. Just adding a comment here as my comments keep not showing up on people's channels.

First record with a blue cover that came in mind is Ballad Of Lucy Jordan by Marianne Failtfull. Keep on the good work👍

I sold Pulp, that one, a 12" of the non album single (?) and the one after when I needed some money, ho hum.......

I’m beginning to watch al your videos. Great stuff! Keep on the good work!

Nice haircut Sean! I don't know why but I never clicked with Pulp or Suede. Maybe one day though. It's a shame I didn't know you were into The Alarm as I found nearly all their LPs a while ago in my antique place, but I ended up purging them all. Great to see Queen II, what a beast. Good that you got the version with the colour gatefold, I don't approve of the black and white one. A pound for that Costello was an incredible score.

Nice video Sean. You picked up some decent vinyl . Glad you enjoyed The Gathering in Llandudno, I had a great weekend there as well, didn't get chance to do any record shopping though. Great Alarm live album. Queen 2 is a classic. Cheers.

Hey, Sean! It's funny that your copy of My Aim Is True comes from Portugal or Spain, as my copy is Italian. Are there no UK pressings out there? I don't tend to look to replace copies of records I already own, but that Italian issue has the flimsiest of covers. Ive got quite a few records by the band Clover, who were Elvis' backing on My Aim Is True. They started out in the late 60s as a country rock band, but after releasing two albums with little success they relocated to the UK. Here they developed an odd hybrid sound of country, soul and pop, before heading back to the States and becoming Huey Lewis & The News. I don't normally like to say a band of artist's first album is their best, but I'm very fond of My Aim Is True. Hed

Great video Sean. You picked up some cool stuff before they closed. I have that best of Ultravox, but on OG cassette, great stuff. Glad you managed to get the 45 singles for me, before they closed. Cheers.

I've helped in a couple of charity shops in my time and they are so reliant on donations and volunteers. All good things come to an end I'm sure something else will come up. One of my earliest purchases was 'if I was' midge Ure. Only the blue paper sleeve though most disappointing 💩

Nice tribute Sean, what a shame. Hope you find somewhere else to do some volunteering at some point. Good selection of records. I had an old schoolfriend who worked as a publicist was Mute (she died a couple of years ago). I would love to find an OG of Saucerful of Secrets, don't think I've ever seen one.

Nice entry Sean. That signed Mike Peters CD was a nice find. I could have put money on you having Opportunities for question two! The Anthony Head single definitely counts, I recommend his solo album Staring at the Sun. I’d forgotten about Dogs in Space, never seen it though. 24 Hour Party People is a great film. Nice coloured vinyl from a good mix of artists. Nice solo Beatles records. That’s a shame with The Works. I think that’s a good shout with ELO, I definitely prefer their 70s stuff. Alpha Papa is a great choice for the spin off. Thanks for entering and for the kind words. Good luck in the draw. Martin

Glad to have inspired! Great video. Never would have guessed PSB was your favourite gig 😉😂

Thanks for the mention. Rock ‘N’ Roll Is Alive was the b-side to the Gold single.

Enjoyed this Sean. No messin’ about 👌🏻New sub.
