[@MarioLamRedRebel]

I am a big Elvis Presley fan, even that i whas 7 years old when hé died. Everybody in our family are big fan and i take love even too day i play every day a few songs in the mix with metal music and jazz/blues music. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@pontushagvall5379]

Ahhhhh, yes. ELO! Loooove Evil Woman. Also love Daft Punks sample of it in Face to face. Super cool!

[@StripeyR]

I've never been a huge fan of ELO but I must admit the songs I know, I really like! 👍

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

Well, it has been absolutely ages since I commented, but I am glad to see you're great Stripey. Love the collection of records as always. A New World Record is my main favourite ELO album, but Out of the Blue is another awesome album.

[@StripeyR]

Hey, Buddy, I hope all is well with you 👌 thank you 👍

[@edwardosborne2427]

Hi Stripey. I always unseal albums even the coloured vinyl ones, if you plan to keep them enjoy looking at them!

[@cheekster777]

Thank you fella.

[@StripeyR]

Thanks for watching, mate 👍

[@sean655321]

Love to see you talking records! Looking forward to some more when you find the time! Take care Stripey!

[@StripeyR]

Thanks Pal 👍

[@paullove729]

Nice one

[@tone7784]

Alright Stripey, Glad you’ve finally got round to listening to TOTA. I’ve known Bob at Leigh Record Exchange - For over 30 years. Spent half my youth in that shop.

[@StripeyR]

Hey bud. I've not been to Leigh Record Exchange in donkey's years. I spoke to Bob, he's been there 45 years now. I'm enjoying the new Madness LP get's better with every listen (but you already know this 😉) cheers pal 👍

[@SuperGrumpyDaddy]

The Kinks Journey 1 and 2 are excellent. Have the CDs, where they score above other hits compilations are the deep cuts, great stuff.

[@Nazz1967]

Great finds ,yeah the Kinks comp is fantastic .Nice deep cuts on both .

[@StripeyR]

I'm having a play this weekend, mate. Looking forward to having a blast (it's been a while) cheers mate 👍

[@Chopp3rUTube]

Hi Stripey - great video. Here’s another idea you won’t have time for. How about a tour of your audio equipment? Chances are if you’re into your vinyl you’ve got some audiophile love too. Keep up with the great videos.

[@StripeyR]

Maybe one day, mate 👍

[@kingofthesnakes2396]

Entertaining video Stripey! Im surprised your ELO record is missing Horace Wimp. I have the same album on CD which includes it. I guess each format has a different tracklisting.

[@StripeyR]

Yeah, it's a bummer that it's not on the record, but I'm chuffed to have some ELO on record to play properly 😀

[@wayne5508]

That's the deadly thing about a vinyl shop, always go in with the best intentions, to 'have a look', end up spending a fortune😂. The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle is a lovely vinyl..

[@StripeyR]

It's a great record shop. I had no intention of buying anything, but the Swindle just had to be got. Cheers fella 👍

[@PeKe999]

Hi mate. It's good seeing you in a video about music. At first, maybe a little late but let 2024 be a good year for you and your family. You're welcome with The Kinks.😊 Your enthusiasm in your Tom Waits videos introduced me to Tom, and I'm still enjoying his music. The Journey by The Kinks is a great compilation, as is part II. The ELO picture disc looks awesome. It deserves being framed. An Introduction to Syd Barrett is a superb album to get to know Syd's influence on the early Pink Floyd and his solo albums. I bought that album a few years ago at Discogs in mint condition. Next week Saturday I am going to a Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute band, The Fortunate Sons with my son. CCR is his favourite band. Some good rocking. Take care mate

[@StripeyR]

Hey Buddy. Thank you "Again" for The Kinks introduction & it pleases me no end that I influenced you to listen to Tom Waits 😃 I'm having a play Sunday of some of these new records (looking forward to making the time) Enjoy "The Fortunate Sons" CCR are an amazing band (Your son has very good taste) Cheers again buddy 👍

[@billythemod]

I've got the Kinks journey 1 & 2 good recordings, some in mono. Good value for money.

[@StripeyR]

Looking forward to playing it Bill, mate. Cheers 👍

[@Beamer66]

Hey Stripey, as I live in Leigh I know record exchange well, and no bullshit I have a genuine GSTQ Sex Pistols on A&M, has the serrated edge outside the label and AMS 7284 B1 scratched twice on the B side which is the Dave Goodman produced No Feeling track, fakes do not have the serrated edge or the cocked up run out groove scratch, also have the correct A&M sleeve with the italic style A&M RECORDS writing on it, one recently sold for £16,500 at Omega Auctions!

[@StripeyR]

That's a rare one, fella. I used to have loads of Pistol singles, but nothing that rare. Nice one, pal 👍

[@jamiefors5062]

Nice one fella, that Rock and Roll Swindle is the second version of the album, it doesn't have "Watcha gonna do about it" but credits it on the sleeve, think it plays a different version of God save the Queen too. Thats not Soo Catwoman as she wanted nothing to do with the film, that's Judy Croll..........Look after yourself too Stripey 🙂

[@StripeyR]

Thanks Pal. I've not played it yet. Shame it doesn't have "Watcha gonna do about it" I luv that. I'll know Sunday about "God save the Queen". It's been years since I owned this on record. You're correct re Judy Croll/Soo Catwoman, I didn't know this, cheers for the correction 👍

[@daveelson213]

just wondering if youve ever checked out The Urban Voodoo Machine, theyre good buddies with the Tiger Lillies which i noticed you had the picture on ya wall

[@StripeyR]

I've not heard of them, fella. I'll check them out. I have loads of Tiger Lillies on CD/Vinyl 👍I've seen them LIVE a few times too. Amazing act live! Cheers

[@daveelson213]

@@StripeyR nice one. The UVM have got 5 albums, London based 9-12 members on a good day lol. Hope you enjoy them.

[@owenlewis666]

Hey stripey love your videos, totally agree with your thoughts on the new Beatles red and blue they arnt even in chronological order and no real love and free as a bird, and no triple gatefold, think I’ll pass seems like a cash in to me, are you still smoke free? Any tips I’m trying myself 🚬🚫

[@StripeyR]

I do have a sneeky puff when I'm drinking, unfortunately. Best of luck, mate 👍

[@BeatleJohn813]

Hi there , I recommend you take the double picture discs of ELO out of their pvc covers , because pvc covers ruins vinyl .

[@StripeyR]

Thanks for the heads up. I don't intend to play the picture discs, but I didn't know that. Cheers 👍
