A Video Full of Holy Grail Records!

[@teckertime]

Hanna, your collection has become legendary! Great Grails!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Haha, thank you! My collection has brought me great joy! Glad you enjoyed seeing these grails!

[@tinaferrazzoli8006]

Hello Hanna; Over the years, you have shown viewers in the VC an amazing ability to find records & CD's for your collection. Keeping your focus while shopping at numerous stores & record shows. Patience is a virtue when it comes to searching for needed vinyl. Always good to hear when you find '' Grails" high up on the want list. The videos have been informative & educational which add to the overall presentation. Take care, Tina & Pat!~

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Tina and Pat! Hello! Patience is definitely a virtue when going on this vinyl journey! It's crazy how long these had been sitting in a separate pile waiting for this video to be filmed! Glad I finally accomplished that. Now onto the next! Hope you're having a great week!

[@folkeur]

The Church, The Sound, The Chameleons, Wire, Magazine, Clan Of Xymox, New Order, Cocteau Twins, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry,... I feel like your video reflects my ideal disco! It’s incredible so many good records! 🤩 The only things missing is Lowlife, Xmal Deutschland Opposition and Sad Lovers and Giants. 😉 Great vidéo!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey there! I hope you checked out my post-punk videos as I featured some of the "missing" bands you mentioned in there! ☺️ I'm obsessed with the genre! Cheers! Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@GyronCinque]

Wheeeee, one of my favourite youtubers is back with a new video 🥰

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thank you, my friend! It's been a road, but it's marvelous to connect with you all again!

[@Thunt14]

Hanna, the shelves are multiplying! “Push” is one of my fav Cure songs. Great to have you back!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thank you! Ah, good call on Push! Fantastic track! Hope all is well!

[@nearwildheaven4840]

Hi Hanna, welcome back, I never tire of seeing your amazing collection! The Chameleons are one of my faves from the 80s, also the Church, the Cure, Siouxsie, Clan of Xymox, and almost everything else you showed. But what really stood out for me was when you showed Death of Samantha. In1985, I saw The Jesus and Mary Chain with DOS and another Cleveland band, Shadow of Fear, as opening acts. The best part of the show was the two opening bands, because JAMC were so loud, I couldn't even make out what song they were playing. If you would like to explore more Cleveland based bands from the 80s, I would suggest the following: New Salem Witch Hunters (Jangle pop), Shadow of Fear (Goth), Rainy Day Saints (60s inspired garage rock), The Reactions (more 60s style garage rock), Easter Monkeys (Punk) and Spike in Vein (Noisy punk). Thanks for showing your amazing grails!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I appreciate your comment! Thank you for welcoming me back, and I'm happy you enjoyed seeing these grails! Oh my goodness! That is too amazing that you saw Death of Samantha with JAMC!!! No way! We just saw JAMC last month with Psychedelic Furs. It was incredible! Whoa, you are the designated Cleveland bands expert, my friend! I haven't heard of many of these. Thank you! Gonna have fun checking each one out! Bonus points for putting the genre next to the bands, too! Always appreciate recommendations! Cheers!

[@malcolmsmith5271]

Another great video, your enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the music you love really does shine through.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks, Malcolm! So happy you're enjoying my content! Such kind words!

[@tangledandfar]

Thanks for sharing all these great finds! As usual, you have given me a couple of new things to check out and reminded me of at least one long forgotten band. So good to have you back on YT.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I'm so happy that what I show brings back memories for many! Also, I'm glad I gave you a few names to explore here, too! That's my goal! Happy listening! It's fun to be back again! Cheers!

[@MedalionDS9]

Glad to have you back like the old days. I've been meaning to check out more of Veruca Salt's music since the old days but never got around to it

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks! I'm starting to get my "mojo" back, I think! Hopefully I can do at least 2-3 more videos before the year is up! I hope you have fun sampling Veruca Salt's output. My favorite stuff of theirs is when Nina is in the band. Cheers!

[@MedalionDS9]

@@TheOmahaIntrovert Yeah I think Nina is great, and had no idea the band had a time where she wasn't in the band

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Yeah, Nina left the band after Eight Arms to Hold You, so the Resolver and IV albums do not have Nina. She came back for Ghost Notes, thankfully!

[@Glendoras]

Great video Hanna! Lots of cool records. These were the ones that got my attention as the power pop fan I am: Scruffs (jealous)! Church! The Sound, love Jeapardy, was lucky to find an original of that album a couple of years ago. Wire! Lovely! I use to play Outdoor miner when I have DJ gigs, which I got on 45. Heaven’s End sounds interesting. The Chameleons, need their debut album. Death Of Samantha sounds interesting too!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hello again! I hope you are having a great week so far! Oh, so very cool you have an OG of Jeopardy. That one is so hard to find and worth quite a bit now! Oh yeah, Loop - Heaven's End is a trip for sure! Death of Samantha are worth exploring! Glad you enjoyed the grails here! Till next time!

[@RandallWeaver]

Hi Hanna - I'm a fan of a lot of the records you showed. That was a lot of records and CDs. Recent grails I've picked up? Gosh, I'm not sure if it's a grail but I did recently get Love's "Four Sail" album which, surprisingly, has turned out to be e my favorite Love album. I love listening to Arther Lee records and thinking about my cynicism. Welcome back - I missed the comeback video that you referenced in the preamble but I can probably find it now. Thanks for showing the records!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi there, Randy! Hope your week got off to an excellent start! Haha, yeah, I really shouldn't have stockpiled all these for one single video. It was a bit difficult to put together! It was a fun one, though! Oh, I love Four Sail by Love, too! Brilliant. I got a reissue of it (green vinyl) a year or two ago. I was impressed when I first heard it as well! I still think their first LP is my favorite due to the heavy Byrds influence! Cool, I hope you were able to check out my last video! Good to be back! Cheers!

[@lukeproductionspresents6276]

Hey Hanna, great video - glad to see you back. Love the Medicine LP - One of the more experimental bands on Creation (where LP first released) - second LP also great. Amazingly, the band is still going (well guitarist Brad Laner, anyhow), still releasing new LPs via Bandcamp. Maybe less melodic/rhythmic, even more experimental, but worth checking out. Loved the Loop too! (in that vein you might want to check out Scottish Indie band, Halo Noose - there Magic Flight EP was on bandcamp as a 12" Same sort of feel as prime Loop). Greatly enjoyed the video - keep going!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Luke! Thank you for the encouragement! I hope to make 2-3 more videos before the end of the year! Yeah, Medicine are so underrated! I'd love to also find the Buried Life on vinyl. I definitely need to check out their more recent material! From what you wrote, Halo Noose sounds up my alley. I will for sure check 'em out! Thank you!

[@gbanger2575]

Hey Hannah, some awesome stuff here! Fad Gadget, Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine are good finds as to is that Church album that even here in South Australia is expensive and hard to find. Pornography is definitely my favourite cure album and definitely some other interesting stuff here as well. Keep up the great content!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Oh wow, very interesting to learn that an OG of Seance is hard to find in Australia! Never would have thought that! The Cure's Pornography as #1 is a respectable choice, definitely! Glad you're enjoying the content. Thank you for the kind words!

[@robverweij7954]

Hi Hanna, I am glad you are back again! I really enjoyed this video. What a great records and what a wonderful collection you have! I am very curious about your favorites of 2024. Indeed a great year.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks, my friend! So happy that you enjoyed this one. It definitely took me a while to put together. It was a lot to round up! Oh yes, the 2024 video will be jam packed! Love the music this year! Cheers!

[@JJ-ez3tr]

Hanna! JJ here. I almost cried when u pulled out Washing Machine. I’m a mega fan and that may be my #1. And that Medicine album is cool. I can already predict your review of the new Cure. Great to have you back!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Great to find you here again, JJ! Thank you! I hope things are well with you in the PNW! Oh yes, I remember you saying that Washing Machine is your #1! This OG is phenomenal! Hope you enjoy the new Cure offering. So good! I have found some worthy shoegaze releases from this year, too, that I hope you'll dig when I do my yearly recap!

[@willbeaudreau3189]

YES! Please do an updated top artists list (20-25 or longer lol). I was going to comment that on your last video but didn’t want to come off as demanding hahahahaha. The Lifehouse Chronicles was something that had always been on my list but the price always kept me away. Now, with the who’s next/lifehouse cd box set out, I guess that will have to do. Still waiting on that one to keep coming down in price on Amazon. I don’t know how much crossover is between them though. Awesome that you were able to add it to your collection! Anyways “Ta-Ta”!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey Will! Okay, cool! Thanks for the vote on doing an updated top bands list. It might differ greatly from the one I did back in 2018 or so! That Who's Next/Lifehouse super deluxe edition that came out recently would be a great thing to get. If I didn't have the Lifehouse Chronicles, I'd be getting that for sure. Ta-ta!

[@timallen2336]

Hey Hanna, I remember when you had about a shelf and a half of records. Not any more! Congrats on gaining such a fantastic collection!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Tim! Yep, remember when I just had a row of records in our yellow office room on that cabinet? Haha, seems so long ago! Notice you haven't made a video in a while. Hope you'll be coming back to KZbin!

[@ShamrocknRecords]

Great finds! So glad you found those Goad records and thanks for showing the live clip of “Nightengale”. Cheers☘️

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Brian! Thanks! OMG, it was so wonderful seeing Toad again live. And seeing the Gin Blossoms that night too was absolutely fantastic! Glad you liked the clip of Nightingale Song. Glenn's voice is one of the best! Hope all is well with you!

[@toddhill7483]

Greetings Hanna. Some really intriguing albums, and I'm looking forward to sampling the ones which are unfamiliar. Very interested in hearing Idaho. I loved the Punishment of Luxury which you featured before, so much so that I already have it via Discogs. Thanks as always and have an excellent holiday. *is that Phantasmagoria peeking through in the upper left corner? LOVE Sanctum Sanctorum! PS. If you haven't heard the album Propaganda by The Sound, it's a must listen!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi again, Todd! Very pleased to hear that you picked up the Punishment of Luxury LP! What a gem! And you are correct: That is Phantasmagoria by the Damned visible in the shelves! Ah, great track! Underrated LP by them! I hope you enjoy checking out Idaho. I think their first 2 albums are actually my favorite. Yes, you reminded me that I still need to pick up Propaganda by the Sound! Thank you! Cheers!

[@johnw706]

Wow , that's quite a collection . I am really looking forward to exploring the Scruffs , Fad Gadget . Essential Logic and Death of Samantha . Thank you for sharing , and for the recommendations !!

[@isherrod13]

Thanks Hanna. It's nice that you can purchase the CD and Lp of certain releases. I have to get one or the other. Keep up the good work! I ordered the Curve record on CD . Thanks

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey there! Oh, I definitely don't get both the CD and vinyl of everything. There's no way. Just for certain favorites! So cool you ordered Doppelgänger by Curve! It's a gem! Cheers!

[@musicalchurch]

Hanna, Wow, that was one awesome video! There is some awesome finds in your pick ups. Some stuff I've never heard of but I bet I would Love. I just recently picked up an Original U.S. pressing of Script os a Bridge by The Chameleons. I have Fan and The Bellows on CD. That IS one excellent collection of their early stuff. I would Love to find Fear by Toad on vinyl. Any idea if that has been reissued? I'm sure that OG set you back a pretty penny. And of course The Church! They are my favorite band of all time. Wish they would press all their albums on vinyl from Hologram of Baal through to Uninvited Like the Clouds.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Oh my goodness! One heckuva find with that OG you got of Script of the Bridge. I don't think I've ever seen an OG of that one. I think mine is the 2014 (?) reissue. Unfortunately, Fear by Toad has not been reissued yet. I believe only Dulcinea has been reissued. Luckily, I traded in a bunch of stuff for Fear, so it didn't hurt! And I second your wish that the Church would reissue that particular era in their discography. Also, I really want Untitled 23 on vinyl! Later!

[@musicalchurch]

I have a vinyl copy of UT#23 that I picked up at the merch table when I saw them on that tour in Albany NY sold and signed by Mr. Kilbey himself! I LOVE that album, definitely in my top 10 in their discography.

[@JohnMacRae23]

Hey Hanna, killer stuff, love all the records you have shown, some real gems there. I would love to have those early Toad the Wet's on vinyl. Played Bread, Pale and Fear a ton in highschool... but really collectible prices these days. LOVE Loop btw, I have all of their lps except the new one. Fan and the Bellows is great too but then EVERYTHING the Chameleons did was superb.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hiya, John! Happy Monday! Ditto on the Loop collection status. Need their newest one! Yeah, Toad really need to put out reissues of everything. They reissued Dulcinea this year, but it's pricy. Chameleons are absolutely one of the most brilliant bands ever! Cheers!

[@bullobca]

That Canadian Treasure album was my intro to the Cocteau Twins. Always thought it sounded great. Great video, some stuff i need to check out, Cheers from Canada

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey there! Yeah, the Vertigo pressing of Treasure was just cut so beautifully. It sounds so much better than the 2 other pressings I have. Cheers to you!

[@tainted_lord87]

Absolutely amazing holy grails you picked up, Hanna!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks, Tony! This was too long of a video, though. Hopefully the next one is way shorter lol! Hope all is well!

[@mattlupu152]

I really enjoyed that video. Thanks for the heads up on The Sound reissues.The first two albums are probably my favorite. I just don't understand how we don't have Toad the Wet Sprocket reissues on vinyl. Their sound is just made for vinyl. Head Through the Door is probably one of my most played Cure albums and Sinking is such a hidden gem. One of my hardest grails to find is The Soundtrack to Doom Generation. Apparently it has been on vinyl but I have yet to see any copies for sale anywhere. With bands like Curve,Cocteau Twins, Medicine, Wolfgang Press, Love and Rockets, Slowdive, Lush etc. it is my White Whale. I play my cd copy constantly.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Always great to read a comment from you, Matt! I was happy to share the news about the Sound reissues. Dulcinea from Toad was reissued and is still available, but it is pricy: toadthewetsprocket.shop.redstarmerch.com/product/XZLPTW04/dulcinea-repressing-original-lp?srsltid=AfmBOopndxHFqUbPldBqBYNqrcyslxq6KOhno2K5keppudvBaxKXhwpA I think my reissue copy is from the box set a few years ago. It's kind of weird someone separated it and then traded it in, but I got lucky, I guess. I just looked up the soundtrack to Doom Generation, and wow, what amazing tracks! I hope you can find it on vinyl! I think I'll even be looking for it, too!

[@playvinylinthemilkynight]

Really nice Cocteau Twins and MBV grails. I need to find those MBV 12" eps on vinyl, always had them on cd. Also nice Clan of Xymox, hard to find a decent copy of Medusa anywhere. Great video as always!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey Mike! MBV needs to do reissues of those EPs. I hope you can find originals soon, though! Yeah, it's crazy how hard it is to find Medusa. Out of all the record shows and stores I've been to the last few years, I never once came across a physical copy. So, online saved me on that one. Looking forward to see what your favorites of the year are!

[@danielgeiger7739]

A bunch of nice finds. If you are in the mood of some great newish new wave, give the band Videotraum from Hamburg a try. Just one release so far (2023), and has been on endless loop for several days since it arrived. Just wonderful.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Daniel! Thank you! Sampling Videotraum now on Bandcamp! Really digging the female vocalist! I can see how you fell in love with this for sure! Great stuff.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks so much, Andy! ☺️

[@vinylpuff]

You’re very enjoyable, as always. I personally don’t have any “holy grails”, as I hate using that expression …but I do have records (and other things) that I’m searching for that I’d really like to own, and can share in the emotional euphoria of finally obtaining it/them. I am curious, though, about that “Shake Some Action” power pop book; does it include some bands / groups on the Douchemaster Records roster from the mid 00s, to early 10s? Not that it’s a make or break determinate, but it would be cool if it did.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Aww, thank you for the kind words, as always. I'm not really a fan of the "holy grail" expression, either, but it's the term that's commonly used in this community, so I went with it! Hmmm, this is actually my first time hearing of "Douchemaster Records." I will have to look up what bands were on that label and see.

[@djstephwest]

I love Veruca Salt. I remember the first time I heard Seether on the radio- frickin' amazing! Great video.

[@TZ61]

I've said it before, but I am constantly amazed at all the music I've missed. There are many sources from which I draw inspiration, and your channel is one. I recently caught up with those first couple albums from The Sound but will check out more. Another band that I was blown away by was Swell Maps. A Trip to Marineville was made for me and a rabbit hole began. You mentioned some spoilers for this year, and another new rabbit hole started for me with Michael Head & The Red Elastic Band's album Loophole from this year. Time to get to some of this stuff. Thanks for the great upload.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

I'm humbled by your comment! So glad I"m able to introduce you to some bands that you missed. Ah, Swell Maps! Yes! So far I just have a comp on CD. I wish their vinyl reissues were decent, but when I got a reissue of Jane from Occupied Europe, and it just sounded awful, unfortunately. Maybe I will get more stuff on CD. I'll have to check out Michael Head & the Red Elastic Band! Thank you!

[@Harrispilton22]

Lovely stuff Hannah, i remeber buying that Moose day of release, came with a free 7" sindle of the band covering Colourbox's 'Dont tell me the moon is blue..sold it a few years ago quite cheap! I bought those two MBV 12" singles when they came out, still got 'You Made me Me Realise' the greatest 12" ever. My local shop has the MBV 'Strawberry Wine' 12"..but its £120.00!!!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey Harris! Great to hear from you again! Unfortunately, my Moose didn't come with the 7". Still was shocked and beyond happy to find it! OMG, that price on the Strawberry Wine 12" is hard to stomach! Yikes! I do have a copy of Ecstasy and Wine, which I feel very lucky to own. Love that dreamy/jangly period of theirs! Hope you are well!

[@kniknayme9865]

You find the best stuff. The shows and stores around here all have the same tired records over and over again.

[@marktait2371]

same here but one indie has a good recent bin best ones i fiund this year estate thrift and antique store closing got like a dozen good ones not alot of alt rock but did get a few at thrift other indie 90 percent used big prices as said same old common ones

[@murraycampbell1548]

H Hanna! You finally got Fan and the Bellows. Nice one! I originally told you it was a live album… my mistake! Thanks for a list of bands I haven’t heard of to check out… Medicine, Fear and Death of Samantha. I too love Sound Affects. “I’ve got a pocket full of pretty green I’m gonna’ give it to the man behind the counter” Sublime. My favourite Wired album from their first three has to be 154 because it got me through high school and was the first one I heard. Cheers!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi Murray! Yes, it took me a while to get the Fan and the Bellows, didn't it?! It was worth the wait! Punchy, raw recordings! Love it! Yeah, Death of Samantha were too cool. Have fun checking some of these out! Sound Affects is a classic. Epic pop tunes! 154 "might" be my favorite by Wire, too. Seems I listen to that the most anyway. Be well!

[@BriansFunHouse]

Allow me to introvert myself...classic! I could see that on t shirts. Im toying with the thought of using my holiday overtime pay this year to cross a few import grails off my want list...very cool pick ups. Nice Cure pick up. It is a dark but perfect record.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Haha! Yeah, we have Tommy to thank for the catchphrase! Oh yeah, you should definitely treat yourself to some heavy grails with your OT pay! Dark but perfect record with the new Cure, yes! Definitely a great way to describe it! Thanks, Brian!

@TheOmahaIntrovert yeah, I'm eyeing some Buffalo Tom records circa mid - late 90s that came out on cd here which I have, but those lucky Europeans got the vinyl.

Hi Hanna ! Love The Diamond 💎 Sea 🌊 On Washing Machine by Sonic Youth. What an epic closing track. Seance is my 2nd favorite Church album. Its No Reason one of their best songs. Nice Japanese Jam pressings ! Sound Affects is my favorite album by them. Monday a beautiful song. Miss the Cocteau Twins but glad to hear Liz with Massive Attack. Sinking is one of my all-time favorite Cure songs & speaking of The Cure .. How about how great Songs Of A Lost World is ! What a triumphant record to help cope with these turbulent times. Take care Hanna ✌️

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Thanks, David! Yeah, the Diamond Sea blows me away every time I reach the end of that record. Always in awe. Very cool that Seance is your 2nd favorite Church LP. I'm not sure it's in my top 3. Did you hear Liz's music with Sun Signature? Gorgeous! Yep, the new Cure record is magnificent. I was expecting to love it this much!

[@JaredLitherland]

Always great to have a new video from you, Hanna! Before you finalize your Best of 2024 list, I strongly encourage you to check out the album 'Avoider' by ahem (on Bandcamp). I've been a fan of this Twin Cities trio for years now and I think you'd really like their latest, alt-power pop release. If you give 'Avoider' a listen, I'll bet it makes your list (or at least gets an honorable mention). Be good -- (JL)

[@broke.on.records]

I remember when I first joined the VC, Loop was talked about pretty heavily. There are a number of bands that were like that that have sort of faded out of fare over the years. I made a video on the topic some time ago. Good to see some love for Toad too. I’m not a Cocteau lifer but I’d probably like to get an OG Heaven, I wasn’t super thrilled about the current reissue out there. Or maybe I’ll just find a CD.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey there! Yeah, many of the Cocteau Twins reissues are not great, unfortunately. I will be getting rid of my 2014 Heaven or Las Vegas reissue. High five on being a Toad fan, too! Wow, I may have to go back a few years to get some Loop discussion in the VC! Thanks for the comment!

[@whatworld70]

Loop. One of my all time favorite bands. Had tickets to see them on their reunion in SF but was too sick to make the drive unfortunately. Fade Out is my fave.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Awesome! More of you are mentioning Loop than I thought. Very cool! Love that they are one of your favorites! Bummer that you were too sick to see 'em when they did the reunion tour. Hopefully they don't "fade out" completely and that we get more from them!

@ yeah and it was all original dudes too. Oh well. I'm waiting for you to discover Jandek (if you haven't already!)

On my list. What is the album I should start with by Jandek?

[@whatworld70]

@@TheOmahaIntrovert He's so prolific. I would try Blue Corpse from 1987. The first track, "I Passed By the Building" is a nice track; you might get a sense of what he's about. Kinda "free-Blues"/folk/Improvisation.

Hi Hanna. Amazing additions. I have a few early Toad The Wet Sprockets. The Church is of course my fave Australia band. Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins album’s are also considered grail IMO. Glad you’re doing these videos again. Yours still my fave vinyl 4:31 channel. Love that Siousxie CD boxset. IDAHO’s new album is great. My Jam albums are mostly the OG US releases except the first (debut) album; it’s the UK release. Have a great night.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Robert! Thank you for checking out my new video! So great to hear you own a few Toad LPs, too! I think I'm with you on the Church being the favorite of Aussie bands. They've gotta be in my top 10 overall, probably. Glad you love IDAHO's new album, too! Such a fantastic comeback! Reminds me of their 90s stuff. Would love you to do a record room tour so we can see your collection in all its glory! Hope all is well in New York, my friend! So good to hear from you.

Yes I have to show my music space but first I’m thinking of filming my 1984 albums before the year ends and other videos. Things in NYC are good. Haven’t bought as much new releases as I would like to. Am enjoying The Cure’s new album as I’m sure you are too. Will keep in touch more often. Life gets so busy. Enjoy your weekend.

[@TCatsDeepVinylTraxx]

I love that Sonic Youth "Washing Machine" album. I found a copy of that one on Marketplace almost exactly one year ago that had only been played maybe once, but the seller had an amazingly fair price on it. Definitely one of my favorite purchases of 2023. $20 for The Sound is quite a deal. I also picked up a copy of Head on the Door last year about the same time, but I don't remember anything about the purchase except for being surprised at the price. Now, it was a reissue, but it sounds amazing, so I'm happy with it. Great job finding the Dead Can Dance albums. I've ran into their albums enough times here in Canada, but as much as I love them, I think they always seem sellers ask a bit too much for them considering that they are not that tough to find. I may just end up ordering them online as the prices from some vendors are fair enough. I do have to get them on vinyl though, one way or another. Love that Cocteau Twins box set, I'll be on the lookout for that one. Wow, this was definitely a video full of grails! Nice job!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hey there! So cool that you also found an OG of Washing Machine for a great price! One of the best albums! Interesting that you run into Dead Can Dance albums regularly up in Canada. I never run into their stuff here. I found an original of the Serpent's Egg at a store in rural Missouri a few years ago for a great price. Now, the Cocteau Twins CD box of their EPs is probably a little tough to get, but I love it! Cheers!

[@TRamone01]

I ordered Wire ‘Chairs Missing’ because I lost my original cassette.

Wow great video. Well done on getting all those grails. So since you like Sonic Youth, Thurston put out a solo record in 95 as well as Washing Machine. It features the track Ono Soul, about of course Yoko Ono, one whom he really likes. I seriously dig that 20 minute track Diamond Sea on Washing Machine. I missed out on getting those Toad the Wet Sprocket back in the day. I have to keep an eye out for those. Who Southaven thought Bernie Grundman would have cut those.

Great scores, we have nearly all of those in our collection! Moose is a band that should be talked about more often! The Church may be our favorite band, and they’re how my wife and I met so will always be special for us. We have the OG German blue cover of Séance, as well as the OG OZ press, we’re a bit obsessed. And the Scuffs lp is considered an absolute grail in our house as well, maybe my favorite power pop album just behind Big Star. That is amazing you got that Sound lp from Permanent records. That is one of our favorite local shops we go to frequently, and we got that exact Sound LP at Permanent about 3-4 years ago in person! They always have grails, you would love it. We just went a few weeks ago and scored one of our most epic grails ever, THE power pop grail, at least to us. An OG Chris Bell "I Am The Cosmos" 7" on Car records. Happy digging!

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Hi again! Wow! Our music taste is so in sync! The Church are indeed so special. They are high on their list and each album brings a new level of magic. So sweet you and your wife met through the Church! Wow, that Chris Bell 7" is a huge score! Congrats on that! Wish I could visit Permanent Records in person! Maybe one day! Hopefully I get dibs on something else cool from them in the meantime! Kudos on having an epic collection!

Take care, Tim

[@brett.altEIGHTies]

Hey Hannah. Some absolute gems, well done. I think All Fall Down is such an underrated album, it’s one of my fave Sound albums Monument…what a track! Great Jam pickups…I think Paul Weller reflected in an interview with BBC that he thought Sound Affects was the Jam’s most complete album ( it’s a 5 star album for me). I agree with you about the drum sound on Seance, I think it really dates the album but the songwriting is still strong (the band are about to do a series of greatest hits shows in Oz starting this weekend - will a be a long show). I don’t know the Chameleons compilation you showed but I have OG’s of all of their stuff - they are prized possessions. A great haul Hannah, your collection is amazing.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Brett! Thank for for the awesome comment! Love that All Fall Down is your favorite Sound record. It definitely doesn't get enough kudos. I'm with you on Sound Affects being a 5-star album. It is definitely the most cohesive and complete one, but I love 'em all! Ah, wish I could see the Church do one of the greatest hits shows! I was able to see them back in 2017. Hope you are able to check out this Fan and the Bellows comp by Chameleons. It's definitely one to seek out! Hope to see you here again next time! Cheers!

[@davebrzeski]

I found that Loop album on CD back when I first got a CD player. We were in a shop that had nothing whatsoever to do with music. I can't remember what they did sell, but they had 6 CDs in a box, and that one was amongst them. The staff couldn't believe I bought that one rather than the ones by artists they'd actually heard of. I think they may have played some of it, and couldn't believe anyone would actually want it! I could never get into New Order, I'm afraid. When the record shop I worked in for 30 years finally went out of business, we had so much of that stuff, and more in stock, but vinyl was dead.

Hi Hanna! Great start! Love Veruca Salt - I do have the CD! ...I had the Scruffs LP in my 1st LP collection - another one I wish I still had! ...Besides powerpop and "classic" rock released in the 80's I never cared much for 80's rock - especially that strange genre they call "post" rock (even though rock is not "post" yet) In fact, I just found a NM Government Mule double LP, "Like A River" released in 2023 (German import) at our local co-op ($15) which sounds just like the 70's rock I love! ...I probably would like that Heaven's End LP you showed since I do like space-rock! ...I loved old school punk but even back then Crass was too "crass" for me... Many of the other LPs you showed I never heard of - when I come upon that odd/unknown stuff (to me) cheap and I don't care for it after buying I do have a customer I can sell it to. Interesting video, though!

Wow, Death Of Samantha! That's a total trip -- I used to play them on my post-punk show, but they were never reissued on CD that I know of, and forgot about 'em. Definitely a fun band, I imagined how Rocket from the Tombs would have turned out if Laughner didn't die and they didn't split into Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys. My friend Kristen Pfaff had all the Crass albums and guested on my show a couple times and played songs from them. She went on to be in Janitor Joe and then fell into Courtney Love's heroin Hole, tragically. Happy to help re Sound reissues! I searched for the original records for half a decade before finding them at various used shops in the Twin Cities in the late 80s so I could play 'em on my show. Once Renascent put out the first ever CD editions in the 00s, I sold the records, oops! So I have them pre-ordered, along with colored vinyl reissue of the Magazine albums that came out Friday. I really like the bookback format of CD box sets of things like The Jazz Butcher, Pere Ubu and Dream Syndicate. I got the Talking Heads:77 set on Rhino that came out a week ago, but didn't realize it was going to be huge coffeetable size. I'll have to keep it with the records!

Some great records there. I love Moose. They played Oxford, UK quite a few times in their early days (Jack / Suzanne era) and were amazing. The last Oxford Moose show I went to The Cranberries supported them. There must have been around 50 people in attendance. Their best show was the three-way headline show in London with Blur and Lush. Loop - very underrated. You're right about the sound quality on that record. The 2012 reissue sounds a lot better. Those MBV 12"!!!!!! I'm so glad I still have my copies because they go for stupid prices now. So rare and hard to find now. You're lucky you found them. I'd also like to add that both those 12"s are rare in a way that every track is amazing - no throw away tracks, dodgy cover versions or a live track, that sadly happened to a lot of 12" singles back then.
