Lost in the Collection #65

[@billvinyl-lists4572]

Hi Dale - Another great Lost in the collection video. I really enjoyed the ones where we have to guess which records you will keep and which ones will be departing the collection. It is a shame that your Work Commitments mean a pause in the series. I can’t get Sledgehammer out of my head and I keep getting flashbacks to the plasticine animations with a train etc etc. That Otis and Carla record looks great. I look forward to the return of this series in due course. Enjoy your summer. Cheers Bill

The shoot-out videos are popular Bill. When I return to this series I will try and start with one of those if I can...Cheers Dale

Hi dale always enjoy your monologues before we see any records😃. I enjoy any video you do so the length is never a problem, the highlights for me here were Grace jones and the buzzcocks. Cheers 👍

[@gatefold33]

Thanks Rob, I'll try and keep waffling away just for you. I'm certainly enjoying revisiting a few Grace Jones albums this year...cheers Dale

[@jamesgriffithsmusic]

Playing catchup here Dale. Love Night Clubbing by Grace, steamy indeed. With Steam Hammer also present there seems to be a theme emerging...

[@gatefold33]

Always steamy here James...

I just recently brought So back into the collection and I really enjoyed it The Grace Jones album is one of my all time favorite albums. It is so much fun and so danceable. Too me that is her best album. Nice records to rediscover again Dale

[@gatefold33]

Thanks Steve and I'm really enjoying revisiting the Grace Jones albums recently all enjoyable so far...

Grace Jones is a legend, check out her live performance at North Sea Jazz 2017, where she is swinging a hoola hoop around her waist while singing Slave to the rhytm at age 69, amazing!

[@gatefold33]

Sounds like a great performance. I watched a documentary covering one of her tours a few years ago and it was very entertaining...

Hello Dale! A little of Tim Buckley's voice goes a long way for me. He's one of those artists whose voice I think is wonderful, but find hard to listen to for a prolonged time. Rufus Wainwright is another. Although, I can listen to early Leonard Cohen without thinking his voice is whiny. Cheers - Hed

[@gatefold33]

Yes great in small doses is probably the way to look at it. I do enjoy early Leonard Cohen but prefer his later stuff musically...

Apologies Dale for taking so long to get to this video. Sorry to see the break in making these Lost in the Collection videos but anything from you is enjoyable. I was thinking that I should nick the idea and go back into my collection for some videos rather than just new pick ups, but my problem is I buy too many so It's all I can do to keep up with the recent additions. I'm with you - like Tim Buckley's voice and music, but not a fan of Jeff Buckley. I like the Steamhammer LP - it's the only one I have on vinyl, but I do prefer their last couple of albums which moved more into a heavy krautrock style. Would like to get that version of the Trader Horne album - really nice album. I bought So on CD back in the day, it was OK but not up to what he had done before for me, so I've never bothered with anything he did post that album. But I've not listened to it in so many years so I probably should revisit it to see if I still feel the same way. We're still waiting for summer up here in Cumbria! All the best... Pete

[@gatefold33]

Hi Pete - happy for you to take the baton while I'm on a break. I won't even make any rights claims...Trader Horne is worth picking up if you come across it. Our three-day summer heat wave has been great this week but more rain tomorrow I think...cheers Dale

[@TheVinylOrchard]

I haven’t culled for years but I have stopped buying. Haven’t bought anything for a couple of months. I see this continuing tbh. No more fairs for a while. Not been in a shop for at least a month. Lost a bit of interest in collecting more. Got so much already Hope all is well Dale

[@gatefold33]

Hi Chris - I've probably reached the point where I don't want to purge much more as a dedicated exercise. I'll do it gradually now, as I play a record that doesn't earn its keep. However I do need to offset that by buying less, which is going to be challenging...

[@TheVinylOrchard]

@@gatefold33 I’ve found buying less really easy

[@Harrispilton22]

Some good stuff there. Ive spoken about Grace Jones many a time. Thats a great album, just a notch below her previous. That Buzzcocks is great, although slightly more of the same, 'I believe' is a great tune

[@gatefold33]

I'll certainly be seeking out more Grace Jones...

[@baggyhi-fi8628]

I’ve tried with Tim Buckley but have never warmed to his records or his voice. I remember Julian Cope being a big fan. One of my sisters has passed on her Leonard Cohen albums to me so I’ll give him a try...

[@gatefold33]

Good luck with the Leonard Cohen records John

[@vinylrichie007]

After four minutes of explaining I’m more confused. With a few exceptions I have gotten rid of my 80’s cheese. I have one Leonard Cohen and that is enough. I did mention the album So in my latest video, Ten Best Albums 1986.

[@gatefold33]

I should have drawn some formulas and diagrams but that would have probably proved I was talking nonsense...

[@robison5396]

Not sure I followed your rationale for no longer doing these videos Dale, but that probably says more about my stupidity than your logic..😂 I always loved Jeff Buckleys' version of Hallellujah ( actually more than, dare I say Leonards' original). I agree Morning Glory is a stunningly beautiful song..although I am quite selective with Tim Buckley..I loved his reading of Fred Neils' Dolphins. I don't own any Buzzcocks, I would buy them if I saw them, but I don't sadly. That Otis and Carla album is OK, my copy isn't great sounding, so I don't enjoy playing it. All the best with work, don't work too hard!.

[@gatefold33]

I knew I should have drawn some formulas and diagrams...although it would have probably just proved I was talking nonsense...Tim Buckley's version of Dolphins is beautiful. cheers Dale

[@Thevinylscavenger]

Quality ramble. Nuff said. Think I'd miss Leonard Cohen's voice doing his songs it's just so unique not that I like it all. I came home in an odd mood the other day I often ponder culls and listened to hex (a repress cost me about 20£ dramatically up in price) by bark psychosis very undecided about was it good or not. Rambling, discordant at times. I don't think summer music necessarily suits the summer to me. Too predictable. Fruit flying around Peter Gabriel's head again oh dear.

[@gatefold33]

Thanks I'll try and keep the rambles quality. I'm trying to add a seasonal category to my album spreadsheet but it is proving tricky. Probably because my mood isn't seasonal...
