4 REAL GEMS FOR THE COLLECTION ,from the Suffolk record collector..

[@nigelcampag1290]

Great buys mate. Lovely copy of the Fruupp LP, looks perfect. I have their 1st and 4th so would like to get those middle ones. I just got 5 Motown lps on Sunday, including The Elgins, Martha Reeves and 3 Supremes. In recent years I've been buying better copies to replace those VG copies bought in the 90s at car boots etc. Scott 3 is magnificent, a masterpiece although Scott 4 just shades it for me. I'd also recommend his 5th 'Til The Band Comes In. Doesn't have the rep of the first 4 but deserves equal respect. Incidentally got all first 6 lps off a work colleague in the 90s for free. She'd been a fan in the 60s and thankfully really looked after them. Cheers Nige

Hi Nigel,I've only got Scott 3 and his first solo album,still need to find the others but just don't see them around in the wild much,if your into soul /funk look out for anne Peebles amazing vocals All the best Chris.

@@thesuffolkrecordcollector680 Yep mate, I've got I Can't Stand The Rain LP but would love to get her previous 3 LPs. Good luck with the remaining Scott's. Scott 2 does still pop up here so I'm sure you'll get one but Scott 4 is a tough pull and only going up in price unfortunately.

Some very nice finds Chris. I saw Gentle Giant in ‘74, an amazing show. Never heard of Frupp, sounds interesting. That Terrel album is in amazing shape, never see it over here. Scott Walker never really caught on over here as well. Cheers.

[@thesuffolkrecordcollector680]

Hi,wish I'd seen gentle giant back in the day,but they just weren't on my radar back then,for me the Tamiy terrel

[@thesuffolkrecordcollector680]

Album is about the best on Motown for me that is , All the best Chris.

[@JulianHankins-hc4ho]

Some good finds there, Chris. Power And The Glory is a great one. I've yet to "discover" Fruupp, but will start looking.

Hey Chris, as a vinyl collector living in South Norfolk, I'd love to know what the record shops are like in Suffolk, if you could talk about your favourites sometime perhaps? Thanks

[@vinylrichie007]

I had never heard of Scott Walker until I started watching VC videos.

[@thesuffolkrecordcollector680]

Hi Ritchie,Scott walker great artist ,also check out the walker brothers stuff to really good. All the best Chris...

[@MudFlanagan]

Hey Chris. I currently own all 4 Fruupp albums. You picked up a gem there. They were sometimes referred to as the Irish Genesis. Not exactly the same sound though as you say. Look out for Modern Masquerades. Probably their best effort. I grew up with this music. You are spot on with Scott Walker. I bought his reissues 2-4 but love my mono copy of Scott (1). I have just subscribed and looking forward to your videos. Cheers .......John

Hi,I need to find more frupp of I can ,the first Scott album in mono is a real great listen prob my favourite one I've heard of I'm honest All the best Chris.

[@billstill1794]

The rarest prog LP I found early this year has to be Trettioariga Kriget from Sweden, 1974, NM - $200.00+ in Discogs. Neither him nor I ever heard of this - he charged me nothing as it was included with a much larger multi-LP purchase. ...The Scott Walker LP you showed us is one I've never seen before so I must be on the lookout for that!

[@thesuffolkrecordcollector680]

Hi bill Scott 3 is a real good listen with amazing cover are to boot. All the best Chris.

[@Harrispilton22]

Wow Scott 3. I haven't got many album grails left.. but Scott 4 is mine (I'd go to £90.00) but Scott 3 is right behind. I've seem 3 a couple of times but always battered

[@thesuffolkrecordcollector680]

Hi Harris,I've just got scott3 and his first one which is very good and for whatever reason is cheap 20 quid touch,by the way I took your advice and found a mint copy of meat is murder,brilliant for me not as good as queen is dead but a real brilliant listen. All the best Chris.

[@Harrispilton22]

@@thesuffolkrecordcollector680 Hey Chris Meat is Murder is great..I think i actually recommended 'Hatful Of Hollow' which is the early singles & Peel sessions & theres no crossover of tracks from Meat or Queen so thats worth looking out for! I think Scott 4 is amazing.
