Hey Shawn! Thanks so much for doing my tag! Excellent responses with records that I’m not familiar with, but will be checking out thanks to you. Gave you a sub and can’t wait for more of your content!!

[@vinylshawn4757]

Thank you Fluffy! Great questions.

Great response to this tag, Shawn! Last time you mentioned The Ocean Blue, it reminded me I haven't listened to them in a long time. An excellent crop of showings here, and thanks for the mentions as well. I need to order Mark's poetry book. 😎🎶

[@vinylshawn4757]

Thank you Ed! Yes going to lay off on the ocean blue for a bit. At least on my videos, no laying off on turntable play 🙂The duplicate questions made it a no brainer to plug your 2024 end of year tag.

[@MortenAastad]

OMD, Waterboys, the Smiths, Pavement, the Fixx... that in itself makes it a great tag. And hey, Black Celebration 😊 Was so happy to complete my collection this year, but that was perhaps the big... walk down memory lane moment? Thank you for mentioning me 😊 Kind words. Seen my entry to MGK Bostons contest? REM on vinyl... sigh, wish and hope and wish and hope. Cheers Shawn.

[@vinylshawn4757]

Thank you Morton! I have not seen your MGK reply yet. Just got off work so will check it out. I predict a vinyl purchase or two 2025 on R.E.M. 🙂

@@MortenAastad my fault! I am sure I have misspelled multiple times.

@ I've left if with a couple of others in the VC and now it feels awkvard to say, so I thought, "no, not Shawn too!" 😄

Fantastic responses, Shawn! And thanks for shilling my books for me, too! You've really gotten good at this. Though I do miss a dog or cat coming on screen from time to time to wreak havoc. You have an interesting collection and I keep seeing things I want to pick up myself. Excellent job, Shawn. Looking forward to more!

[@vinylshawn4757]

Thank you Mark. I had animal mischief on my initial try at making the video but my storage capacity was full 🤷‍♂️

[@RandallWeaver]

Great response to this tag. Very cool Mark Morris poetry. ha ha - I knew you were going to say Range Life - that's a great album. Wow, that Monster album cover looks great! Happy New Year Shawn!

[@vinylshawn4757]

Happy New Year to you as well Randy! Gold soundz really should have been highlighted by myself as well. I think my 2nd favorite possibly all time.

[@DaddyRich71]

Very nice, Shawn. "Russians" is one of my favorites from that Sting album, too. So may solid choices here, you've great taste in music, my friend. Thanks for posting, I might hop on this tag but things are so hectic it might be 2026 by the time I finish!

[@vinylshawn4757]

Thank you Rich! Your taste is outstanding as well. Understood 100% on having issues finding the time to respond to tags and contests. I am for sure in the same boat.

[@gringoloco4]

Mazzy is a Supreme Bell End … but nice video anyways

[@Mfidelity]

Great choices. Love OMD, The Waterboys, and Graham Parker. The Ocean Blue sounds interesting, need to check them out along with the Bats.

[@vinylshawn4757]

Hi Dave! Thanks very much for commenting. I just subbed to your channel. If you like what you hear from the ocean blue their albums are available on the bands website. Some are also available on Amazon. The only one I have reservations on is waterworks the extended ep.

[@TravelinSmitty]

Well done! Happy New Year, J!

[@vinylshawn4757]

Thank you Smitty! I wish you the same, happy new year.

[@EmbryonicRobot]

I bought Bauhaus Staircase! I've only seen two people mention it. You showed many records that I own and some that I would like to own. I really need to get some records from The Ocean Blue. I used to really like them. I also need a vinyl copy of REM's Monster. I am generally not impressed with Kansas, though I have a couple of LPs. I guess I don't mind the hits, but I never really got into the rest. The Unforgettable Fire is my fav U2 album. Great job on this tag!

[@vinylshawn4757]

Thank you Brian! I know you probably have most if not all of the OMD discography. If you get the R.E.M. Monster release I have, it has both the original and reimagined version.

[@MortenAastad]

Was I the other one Brian? 🥹

[@EmbryonicRobot]

@@MortenAastad Why, yes you were!

[@MortenAastad]

@ I played it again to celebrate 😊
