‘Car Boot Vinyl’ - More Records found in the Battle Ground of the Car Boot Sale - Vinyl Community

[@jonnyvassvag]

You should document your trips to car boot sales , videos like that tend to get a lot of views.😉

Totally with you on Ken Booth. I’ve loved his voice ever since I heard Everything I Own on the radio as a kid. Those reggae 7’s are real find and in those great 70s cardboard sleeves from (I think) Boots. Definitely worth your while getting up early that morning! Cheers John.

[@DavidB-py8nz]

I absolutely hate those sleeves, hideous looking things but beauty is in the eye of the beholder😂

[@andyshacks7812]

@@DavidB-py8nz Yeah not the best looking sleeves I must admit but do the job quite well lol

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Andy. I think you’re right about those cardboard sleeves being from Boots! They’ve done a good job of protecting those reggae 7”s too 👍👍

[@wax_n_wine]

Always really great stuff. Love all that reggae you share. Hot take on Jimmy, but to each their own.

[@6inchpianist]

Yeah, I appreciate that I’m probably on my own with my take on Jimmy’s solos. It wouldn’t do for us all to be the same though 👍

[@vinylrichie007]

Wave Length was the last Van Morrison album that I bought. It was okay and it is long gone. Candy is a cool soundtrack. Hatful Of Hallow is a great album. 60 Reggae singles is a huge haul.

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Richie. Hatful Of Hollow has been on deck alot over the past couple of weeks. Hadn’t spun it in ages. It’s cool when you rediscover records 👌

[@Paneeks1960]

I was pleased to see you holding up "Strutter" John. Boy. Tim Booth is one of my faves from the late 80's and 90's. Two of my all time favorite bands in the same Car Boot Sale. You cannot go wrong with Hollow and Graffiti. Its funny how serious people get when anyone talks about Zeppelin in a not so positive way. {smile} I never took it personal when someone said anything negative about the Blimp, The Smiths or even the Beach Boys. I laughed at some of the comments below. Especially BruceVinyl3504. I got to see Zeppelin three times in 1977. Jimmy's performances were not always on the money. But when he was on he was unbeatable. All three of the NY shows were great. One of the things that I remember most about the shows was the overall sound. I sat way up in the greens for the first night. Lower arena the second night and twenty rows from the stage for the third night. They were incredibly loud but the sound was impeccably clear. No matter where we sat we could hear each one of them perfectly. Including Robert's vocals. Their PA system was one of the best in the business. I hope that they start to have some Car Boot Sales over here. Enjoy Graffiti, Hollow & Strutter. Three excellent albums~ Rob/Boston

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Rob. I knew you’d appreciate those few choices. I love hearing the stories about the gigs you’ve been to over the years. I bet Zep were incredible in their prime. Cheers! John

[@robison5396]

Nice picks John. When Jimmy Page is being economical with his playing his solos can be sublime..Ten Years Gone on that album is a classic example. Candy soundtrack sounds great..definitely my thing. Some great reggae 45s..bargain.

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Rob. Yeah, the Candy soundtrack has that groovy 60’s vibe. Very cool 👌

[@jamesgriffithsmusic]

Good stuff John. That Moog Indigo record sounds fab. I agree that Page's guitar solos are messy (though I like them that way!) and I've often wondered if that was deliberate. He was clearly very accomplished so I'm inclined to think so.

[@6inchpianist]

Hi James. You have a point. Page was a great guitarist. The sloppiness of some of his solos must’ve been by design. It’s something that’s always bugged me though.

[@jamesgriffithsmusic]

@@6inchpianist In a way he was a bit punk! Another thing about his playing is that because it's messy it's quite easy for aspiring young 'shredders' to imitate him, which in turn casts a bit of a pall over that style in general. I always thought Ritchie Blackmore was a sort of 'tidied-up' version of Page.

[@nblanch2]

Enjoying your videos John. Nice pick-ups. I'm not a fan of Led Zeppelin. They've never done it for me. I recognised the song you did a needle drop from the moog LP. I think it was used in an advert in the 90s for something (for orange juice? not so sure) but not the version you played. Some great bargains on the Reggae singles. Cheers.

[@6inchpianist]

Hey! I know that Led Zep aren’t for everyone. It’s those differences in opinion that keep things interesting 👍👍

[@brianf8487]

Gorgeous Reggae Singles! Ken Booth sounds fab! Cheers 🍻

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Brian. Ken Boothe is my favourite reggae singer 👌

[@gavaxemanspins]

Nice finds - I need to get car booting ! Good prices too

[@nicksvinylbutty5488]

I need to move to the Birmingham area....its where the good stuff is at !!! Great finds 👍👍👍

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Nick. I know you like a car boot. The fact that you never know what you might find is the fun of it 👍👍

[@deancronin6934]

Wow love that Storm track 🔥🔥🔥gorgeous labels on those reggae 45s especially Torpedo and Pama Supreme. Congrats on the bag of riddim

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Dean. I’ve enjoyed spinning that bag of reggae over the past few weeks. Some great tunes in there. And, like you, I love discovering those labels. Cheers! John

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi John always fun to see what you’ve been grabbing .. my boot sales have been limited this year, I picked up candy though a couple of years ago for 50p .. ha I can sympathise with other people pull records out next to you but you did well grabbing over 50 .. cheers John 👍

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Rob. Seeing what the other people around you are pulling out is a curse. I was lucky with this stack though. I can’t complain having pulled out over 50 reggae singles. You can’t beat a good car boot. Cheers!

[@gatefold33]

Great pick-ups John, blows my recent boot finds out of the water! Bags of reggae 45s is the sort of thing you dream of (or is it just me who dreams of what might be at the car boots...) Hopefully I'll get round to showing some of the stuff I've found soon, cheers Dale

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Dale. Don’t worry, it’s not just you that dreams about finding piles of rare records at a car boot sale… Looking forward to seeing your car boot finds. I love a car boot video!

[@L.E.55472]

Hahaha you didn’t say that did you??? lol lol.....Steppenwolf sookie sookie I hear ya there ✊🏻🎶🎸🎤....great story on the 45s 👏🏻😎cheers John🍻

[@Thevinylscavenger]

Hi John. I've got the Moog one. So do you recognise the samples or Google them? I wish I could get up for car boots. I'm not sure what puts me off of them. Maybe too disorganised for my liking. I've a Derrick Morgan album with a gospel choir I'll have to PM you a clip it is absolutely awesome.

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Martin. I usually hear a piece of music and convince myself that it was sampled in a particular song. Then I google it and find out it was used in something completely different 😀

[@markmclaren7577]

It was really John Bonham's drumming that made led zeppelin stand out from the crowd and not jimmy page or Robert Plant as good as they were great album all the same

[@davidellis5141]

Love the Reggae 7' singles ! In The Light is my favourite Zeppelin track . I think both In Through The Outdoor & Presence are mediocre albums & Zep were probably done one way or the other.

[@6inchpianist]

Hi David. Presence and in Through The Outdoor have their moments but the band were pretty much done by then, as you say. I’ve always had a soft spot for Robert’s vocals though. There some great photos of him playing football in his Wolves shirt and underpants in the mid-70’s, still giving it his rock star swagger 😀

[@Harrispilton22]

I’m the opposite. I can’t stand Robert plant’s vocals, but like Jimmy Page’s guitar. I was watching the last Brum Reseelar vid...ne hit a rich seam of classic rock at the car boot, but the bloke selling made it tricky as they weren’t priced so he was randomly calling out prices. It was interesting. I’ve got EVA on 12”. It’s on the flip of the Fatboy Slim remix. ‘Just To Get A Rep’ is an absolute classic by Gangstarr.

[@6inchpianist]

Hi Harris. I saw Brum Resellers video. He got some good stuff. I was at the same car boot. I had a bunch of stuff, including the copy of Hatfull Of Hollow, for between 2 and 4 quid. I’ll show some of the other bits in another video. John got a couple of nice AC/DC albums in that classic rock pile that’re worth a few quid. I like watching his videos because I get to see the stuff that I missed out on! I don’t know that Fatboy remix 12”. I’ll look that up. Cheers!

[@TheDigitalGramophone]

Zeppelin… Beatles… Smiths… do you not value sleep, John?! Page a much better composer than soloist. Completely agree. The older I get, the less I need Zeppelin in my life. 60 reggae 45s! That’s all? 👀 Cheers! ✌🏻

[@brucevinyl3504]

You've been busy, John. I'm sure you were excited to stumble on those reggae 7"s. I've never bought a Led Zeppelin record- and fully intend to keep it that way.🤣

[@neilherring]

Ive never liked Led Zeppelin, could'nt get into them.

[@6inchpianist]

As my old mom used to say, it wouldn’t do for us all to be the same… 👍

[@neilherring]

@@6inchpianist True, I do think they are slightly overrated though.
