I’ll check out Clues. I’ve only heard Palmer’s hits. Cool retro phones! Reminds me of the great old black and white movies with people like Cary Grant. I’ll check out Heatwave and the Getz album. Long Distance Operator is a great song from Dylan and The Band. Cool vid! ✨✨✨✨✨✨

That's the The Church's self-titled debut on the Carrere label. I've been looking for a clean copy of that original cover, which differs from the U.S. alternate release. It seems you actually came across a copy of it at 5:46. I'm not sure if you missed it or if that's the same copy you purchased.

No doubt , Legends!! But #NewOrleans and #Memphis had a pivotal role on the genesis of #Funk style : New Orleans bring the blend of nice fusion of old R&B with #afrocuban music , via #ProfessorLonghair bringin the polyrhythms and #16thnote composition palette and the syncopated method of #Secondlinedrumming derived on #boombap foundation with #GetOutMyLifeWoman by #LeeDorsey (written by #Allen Toussaint) . Memphis had their "alternative primigen Funk " also with the pony jump Soul of #BookerTandTheMGs on Stax records (Listen "Boot Legged" 1965).

You had some great taste. Stop touching the vinyl its bad for playability. Keep the records just throw out the covers and clean the records. use the as play copies

Bands Reunited wasn't the original line up. Kurt Herr was left out of the episode

Wow! I love your vintage phone collection. Rotary phones are so neat. Too bad you won't be able to use them anymore. You always show such great records and have such an eclectic collection. Thanks for sharing-fun video!

❤❤❤❤Love all their songs, Chamber, Never and I Do You still ringing in my subconscious mind🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘2024 and still listening ro their songs❤️❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

😯 I've been living here nearly 12 years and have never heard of Galactic! OMG ... thanks for the tip! My personal favourite is Bis Auf's Messer, which is also in Friedrichshain, but tucked away around a corner. Nice guys and a great selection ... Glad you enjoyed Berlin!

I’m not ashamed but I know want to hear every record in your collection. I know it’s impossible to listen to every song in the universe. But at least I’ll find a few gems along the way

what a great idea! I always think of Madonna’s hung up. I love Jim Croce’s operator too.

a great selection! and not morbid at all - these songs are beautiful.

That's just crazy. I'd love to have all those in my collection. Glad to know you found some of your old records in there.

I could easily add the Humming chorus to my list. Puccini was a master at emotional music. But my first choice is, and have been for 50 years, the fourth symphony by Jean Sibelius. Music doesn't come any darker than this. And maybe some pieces from the soundtrack to Arjuna by Yoko Kanno, like the lovely "Bells For Her". Kanno is a genius. You talked about Pat Meheny in an earlier video and I would choose his song "Roots of Coincidence". Why? Because it is unusual as it's explosive like dynamite. What a sensational pair they were, Metheny and Mays.

A wonderfully sad and naive telephone song is "Dont Hang Up" by 10cc.

I do not think this is unusual at all. I have a long list composed of mainly British Invasion songs, which is when I really started getting into music. I also include include Til I Die and Surf’s Up from The Beach Boys Surf’s Up album. I want to express the joy that I felt in life and choose songs that made me happy. I want it to be more of an Irish funeral and somewhat uplifting.

Thanks for sharing. Great clip. I know I already want "Son For You" Leon Russell and "As" Stevie Wonder played at mine. Thanks so much for the clip.

Luv ya! Toots and the Maytals - 456 Was My Number (really great song)

The Cure are my second favourite band and after such a long wait I'm glad that "Songs of a Lost World" is so good. For Cure vinyl you don't have I'd recommend the goth double bill of "Pornography" and "Faith". "Wish" is also a fantastic album.

You said Peaches is used in the film sexy beast. I've not watched the film, please don't tell me it's accompanying Ray Winstone's butt! :_D

"Just Like Heaven" (The Cure) For my heavenly-resplendent wife, Barbra Rose (RIP). 😇🕊🌹

Very clever topic and selections! Long Distance Love by Little Feat is another great telephone song.

Smooth Operator - the white phone

Hello, my dear friend! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video! Like 78👍. Very nice! All the best! And have a great week! Marisha.

The one song that has very striking telephone imagery for me is Texas Flood. Stevie Ray Vaughan did a memorable cover of it for his 1983 album but the song was first recorded by blues singer Larry Davis in 1958. “It’s flooding down in Texas, and all the telephone lines are down.”

"Busy Line" (Rose Murphy) "Off the Hook" (The Rolling Stones with Brian) "Hanging on the Telephone" (Blondie)

Not forgetting...Undertones..You've Got My Number kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJDQenysiriHn8ksi=_xcTO5nd_eEtYqSK

Cool video. And cool phone collection. The one phone song I think of immediately is Spiderwebs by No Doubt. I loved your selections, though. Great stuff. I have that Getz A go-go, too. This should be a thread... Take care RM 🙂🙋🏻‍♂️

This was fun. The Blondie song started "playing" in my head the moment I started watching your video! Wow those phones were massive! Wish I had our old Ericsson Erico (Cobra). Songs about not picking up any phonecalls anymore because everyone who calls have criminal intents. Spoofing etc etc. Loved the video 😊

Great video. Everytime I was wondering if you were going to come up with some songs I was thinking about you named them and some I didn't. Not sure if you're familiar with David Baerwald of David & David in the 80s. Anyway, he did a song called " Hello, Mary". Great songwriter.

Jim Croce - Operator (that's not the way it feels). And Dr. Hook - Silvia's Mother. Both classics from 1972

Love it! What a great idea for a video. Nice collection of phones and great song tie ins! You pretty much hit all the ones going through my brain as I watched. Well done! Cheers

This is such a wonderful video. Not surprised you like Bakelite vintage phones and Ladybird books. given your name YT name " Retro Musings" . It's great Jimmy Webb and Glenn Campbell get a shout out. I like "All You Do Is Dial". Agree it's a real soul gem. Keep up your awesome channel. Look forward to the next video already.

Jenny, Jenny... Who can I turn to?

Awesome and fun video RM. Blue Magic's "Look Me Up" is about the phone. When you are down and feeling low And you don't know which way to go You just pick up your own telephone, girl If you get in-touch with me I'll be there instantly It's a shame you can't belong to me, So whenever you're down, look me up

Giving a credit to Yazoo gets a sub.

Feeling unknown And you're all alone Flesh and bone By the telephone Lift up the receiver I'll make you a believer 👍🏻

I remember seeing those old phones used at my grandparents' house and the ring was really loud. They answered calls by saying their actual phone number. Never a "hello". Maybe it's a British thing done by the older generation. Prince did a song called "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore?". It's been covered a lot. Alicia Keys did a great job covering it.

Cool, original topic! The first song that comes to mind for me is “Switchboard Susan,” written by Mickey Jupp and recorded by both Nick Lowe and Gary Brooker in 1979. I also wonder if Jim Croce got the idea for his song “Operator” from the song with the same title and similar subject matter by the Grateful Dead from their 1970 album American Beauty.

What an amazing parcel, it was great seeing your face as you greeted each record like an old friend. A lot of my old singles have my name written on the label, by my mother when I used to take them to the school discos. We don't see too much of Paul Young in the VC!

If you don't know this song, check out "AEIOU Sometimes Y" by Ebn Ozn. A bit of a one-hit wonder by a new wave 80s group. This is such an interesting vinyl record topic. Thanks for this wonderfully enjoyable video.

how about dr. hook and the medicine show with sylvia’s mother, and i believe donna summer did call somebody, fun topic, grtz from the netherlands 🇳🇱

There are two songs with phone numbers as their titles, they being '8345789' by Ry Cooder, and '8535937' by Squeeze. There's an obscure unreleased Paul McCartney song (think it's probably on KZbin) called 'I'll Give You a Ring'. Just for the record, there is actually a French rock band called Telephone!

my favorite is walking in the rain with the one i love by love unlimited, isn’t it barry white she calls?

Another creative topic about records. Interesting point how instant messaging apps and emails don't seem to be really written about in songs. I would love to hear how those vintage phones you have sound like. If I spot one at a charity shop, I think I might just pick one up if the price is reasonable. Thanks for this fun vid!

Another song featuring a telephone is "Rings" by Lobo from 1974.

I always pick up old phones when I'm going to garage sales. My favorites are the old candlestick phones from the first half of the twentieth century. I have a 1910s payphone! It is really cool. Supposedly it came from a railway station. Makes me think.

When my wife and I bought our first house together in 2005, we had a standard baker light phone as our landline. It was red and we called it The Bat Phone. Only this year have I started using a mobile phone. My family gave me one for Christmas. I have resisted owning one until then because I see how dependant people become on them and I didn't want my children to become like that. Thankfully, even though my teenage children each have smart phones, they aren't glued to them constantly like so many kids are today. The first song about phones that came to my mind is the Dr Hook song, Silvia’s Mother. A heart-breaking song based on a true story. The only other song I can think of that you did not mention is the title track from Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime album. A very powerful song.

Fantastic video! I enjoyed the travel, music and the football aspect (all passions of mine)! Berlin is amazing; I hope to get back there one day. The history is very sobering, but a Falco listen would be an excellent way to offset that. Falco is the epitome of fun! Cheers!
