That's a nice wall behind you. I knew you were heading towards the Cocteau Twins when you started your description! I love that Heaven 17 LP! I don't mind some Iron Maiden 🙂Cool video!

[@onmyturntable7036]

If anyone was going to pick up on the Cocteau Twins lead in, I knew it'd be you. 😆 I have a bunch of Heaven 17: a long-time favorite. Trying to win some points with the metal crowd, I suppose! This was fun to put together 😎🎶

[@vikingbrace]

Great entry Ed. I like your story on the Talking Heads album and the price lol. I love Iron Maiden Killers! I think you nailed that question.

[@onmyturntable7036]

I was asleep at the switch with that Talking Heads LP. Lesson learned! This was the perfect moment to break that Iron Maiden, for sure. 😎🎶

[@MarkMorris-1962]

Great job, Ed! I think I need that Cocteau Twins record. Loved the Little Creatures story, too, only because I have done a similar thing once or twice! I was surprised to see Iron Maiden, but you always seem to have a surprise or two up your sleeve. Fantastic entry! Good luck!

[@onmyturntable7036]

@@MarkMorris-1962 Thanks, Mark! That Stars and Topsoil comp checks all the Cocteau Twins boxes for me. I highly recommend it. Perfect video for me to break out Iron Maiden, for sure! Enjoy the rest of your weekend 😎🎶

[@catherine6653]

I like Bruce Hornsby piano playing. ❤ It was great to see your Japanese pressing of Little Creatures. 😊

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thank you, Catherine! Bruce Hornsby has been around forever, it seems. I may pick up some more of his albums if I see some out there. 😎🎶

[@northernvinylguy]

Hi Ed. You have been entered in the contest. I am hoping you're going to be nice if you win and pick the CDs. It's been freezing cold up here in my neck of the woods. I am digging that wall display you made just for this contest video. Bonus! Bruce Hornsby all the way!!! And, the most shocking thing... I honestly couldn't believe it when you pulled that Iron Maiden. I was definitely not expecting that one by a long shot. Glad you had fun with this one! Cheers, Darryl.

[@onmyturntable7036]

My pleasure Darryl, and congrats again! These prompts/questions of yours had me thinking for this entry. I'm pretty sure I'll opt for the CD's if I win: my brand is 'Be Kind To One Another', after all!

[@MGKBOSTON]

Very nice Cocteau Twins compilation. Your description was perfect. I only have my original copy of Treasure with a bonus EP. I have a copy of that Berence Whitfield record, and I got it in Massachusetts! I knew Mojo, but was a Q magazine loyalist for many years. I have a cool CD compilation from Heaven 17. Very listenable 80s synth new wave just as you said. I did a big purge before the move, but the apartment collection is growing. I couldn’t agree more on your sentiment of discovering new music through the vinyl community. Killers was a surprise but it’s great. I have a CD copy. ✌️

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks, Mike! That Cocteau Twins comp checks all the boxes for me, for sure. I may have that same Heaven 17 CD comp I think...it's called 'Endless', right? Great remixes on that. I've been pretty diligent about getting records out the door where my local record shop can benefit, and they get a new home. All that cash goes back into the record buying fund! 😎🎶

[@TheAuditoryVinyl]

Nice Entry, interesting showing of albums!. The KD Lang on your wall is really good!

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks, Doug! Absolute Torch and Twang is probably my favorite k.d. lang LP. Got a chance to show some different stuff in this contest. 😎🎶

[@Mfidelity]

Great response Ed. I need some Cocteau Twins on vinyl. Barrence Whitfield looks fun. I love that Heaven 17 album. I did not expect Iron Maiden!

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks, Dave! Barrence Whitfield is fun bar band blues and rock: you really can't go wrong. I have a few Heaven 17 records, and it was cool to show that, along with my surprise!😎🎶

Hey Ed. Great video! Nice Talking Heads press. I have some Barrence on CD favorite lyric by him “momma get the hammer there’s a fly on the babies head” 😹Maiden! Well done. Cheers

[@onmyturntable7036]

Gotta love Barrence! Always a great live show. It was a perfect opportunity to shoe my lone IM record! Thanks, Bobby 😎🎶

[@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf]

Hi Ed, great to see you show the Cocteau Twins. The best thing to ever come out of Grangemouth. Love Little Creatures… in my top 3 Talking Heads albums. Oh man, what a shame getting hit with a big shipping fee like that. Still nice to have something unusual in your collection. I didn’t realise people bought old Mojos. I’ve subscribed almost since the beginning and have thrown countless issues in the bin. Great magazine though! Cheers, Jack

[@onmyturntable7036]

@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf I picked up Mojo each month for nearly 20 years, and those back issues along with the CDs are very collectible, as my eBay page can attest! It is a great magazine: turned me onto a lot of great artists. If you have any left hanging around, sell those bad boys, Jack! 😎🎶

[@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf]

@ I’ve loads left!

[@musicisajourney]

Hey, Ed! Nice wall! I’m listening while walking, and I just reached the station, so now I can watch and comment. I am surprised to see you have Killers, although the way you set it up, I was almost expecting Cannibal Corpse. I enjoyed your “pod cast”. As always, you voice and your selections are a pleasure to the ear and music brain.

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thank you, Peter! I'm looking forward to checking out your entry as well. Baby steps for me: a little Maiden today, and possibly some Cannibal Corpse down the road. Never say never! Appreciate the 'podcast' listen on your walk 😎🎶

[@MortenAastad]

Very nice entry Ed. And what a splendid gesture to make that wall for Darryl. Cheers from Morten

[@onmyturntable7036]

@MortenAastad Thank you, Morten! Was a fun one to put together: had to think a bit!

[@MortenAastad]

@ Oh for sure, ja!

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Ed, I had 1000s of music magazines from the early 80s forward. I use to buy over 10 music magazines a month. I was a,so going to sell those off until the flood. I had a few tubs that did survive that were in my garage. Good to know I could have made some money on the, lol.

[@onmyturntable7036]

I'm telling you Steve, any music mags you have left, sell those bad boys! There are still plenty of memorabilia collectors out there, as my eBay page can attest! As always, appreciate the watch and comment!

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Just discovered your channel. Love your entry into the contest. I subbed your channel.

[@onmyturntable7036]

@twofromthetrunk9932 Thank you! I recognize your channel name being mentioned by some other VC'ers as well, and have done the same. About a year into this and having a blast. Looking forward to checking out your video library as well. 😎🎶 Ed.

Martha and the Muffins ,Great Wall appearance! No idea why I have never heard of Mojo magazine. I remember as a kid I had a handful of Q magazines. Iron Maiden is a surprise, good on you. Good luck on contest.

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks, Shawn! Q Magazine and Mojo were pretty similar in style, content, and artists covered, etc. Echo Beach!

[@RandyforRoyals]

I liked your Talking Heads story. I have been known to not read all the fine print in my purchases. I also liked the Barrence Whitfield albums he did with Tom Russell. I used to buy Mojo and Uncut back in the day and I still have most of those magazines. I do have four Go-Betweens albums but I am always on the lookout. Hopefully I can show my last two acquisitions on my next vinyl finds video. Great closing.

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks, Randy! I'm not familiar with the Barrence Whitfield/Tom Russell LP's, and will check that out. Those Mojo's and Uncut are still very collectible, as my ebay page can attest! Appreciate your comment on my closing. 😎🎶

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Ed! I took my sister to see Martha & the Muffins back in the early 80's. I've never heard any of Cocteau Twins, know the name but not the music. Another rabbit hole to enter.... I have boxes of Classic Rock magazine I should start selling before we move. I am shocked at your IM album. Good luck!

[@onmyturntable7036]

Excellent...Echo Beach! I'm telling you, there is an audience for just about every type of music magazine out there. Sell those bad boys! It was the perfect moment to break out the IM! 😎🎶

[@mad4vinyl802]

Great Talking Heads album, Ed. And it's a Japanese pressing! I used to read that magazine along with NME. I'm making an effort to purge my collection. Holy Heavy Metal, Batman!

[@onmyturntable7036]

Thanks Mark! Getting rid of stuff where I know it'll end up in a good home (and make a few bucks on the side), can feel pretty good! Yeah, that IM LP came in mighty handy for this little contest, for sure!

[@RandallWeaver]

I have to admit I've never heard of Berence Whitfield before. Sounds like a good time. Good call with Cocteau Twins. Wow, you can sell those Mojo magazines? I've got a stack of those...lol. Don't think I have that Bowie one though. Good luck in the contest!

[@onmyturntable7036]

@@RandallWeaver I'm telling you Randy...you are sitting on a decent chunk of change with those Mojo's laying around in your house. Sell those bad boys! I've done pretty well. 😎💸. As always, thanks for the watch and comment!

[@Foul_Quince]

Most of my Led Zeppelin albums are Japanese pressings. I have to say I can't really tell an appreciable difference between them and any other pressing.

[@onmyturntable7036]

There are people out there who really make an effort to obtain Japanese pressings, that's for sure. Appreciate the watch and comment! 😎🎶
