Stockholm Record Fair Report | Psych, Folk, Indie

[@eskeshuus5302]

International Harvester, what a fantastic album, such a clean copy, WoW

[@vinylstockholm]

Agree, it's fantastic. The seller had two copies of the same press, and the same price. So I could pick the best one. Cheers!

[@christopherkibler511]

Jonas, that record fair did look very large. International Harvester and Twink were nice buys. Thanks, Chris

[@vinylstockholm]

Yes, I'm very happy with those records. Take care!

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Great video and pickups. Love that Twink album. Cheers

[@vinylstockholm]

Thanks Bobby! Yes, it has some really cool tracks. Glad I found it.

[@chriscoulthard7282]

That looked like a great fair... I have a couple of records by Dave Pajos hardcore band Solution Unknown, pretty different from Slint Tortoise etc. I'm a punker so I actually prefer the hardcore records... Enjoyed your vid, that Twink record sounded great.

[@vinylstockholm]

Hi, very cool, I haven't heard Solution Unknown. But most of the stuff that Pajo is involved in is great, so I have to check it out. Thanks for tuning in!

[@VinylPiper]

another great video.. thank you...

[@vinylstockholm]

Thanks Piper, you could have found some nice US originals there to buy back to the states 😀

[@VinylPiper]

@@vinylstockholm HA dang, another missed opportunity!

[@arturogarcia5259]

Hej Jonas, brings great memories..Have been there so many times..great pickups as well ! Love that psyche band from Sweden

[@vinylstockholm]

Hi, very cool, you've been there! Yes, that fair is a highlight every February and September. Cheers!

[@davidwonderland6584]

Whoa?!!... What expect this place a load of records sold it!! 😧😧

[@Localbandography]

Great footage from the fair. Dom would highly approve of those pickups. Headed to the WFMU fair in NYC with him next month. Saw Beck twice on that Odelay tour. Oddly the craziest mosh pit I’ve ever seen was at the Charlotte show that Dirty Three opened. When Beck busted out the acoustic the place went nuts. It was Grady Cole Center so a basketball court. People got hurt bad. Multiple paramedics and people carried out on stretchers lol. I’ve been in hardcore punk pits that were tame in comparison. It made no sense. The next night Beck was in Raleigh. The Cardigans opened and did so playing three Black Sabbath covers. It was incredible.

[@vinylstockholm]

I would love to go to the WFMU fair some day. Great stories about Beck live gigs, the good old 90s, crazy times. I saw Beck here in Stockholm after the Mellow Gold album, no mosh pit that time 😂, but very cool to see him. Cardigans is also a classic 90s Swedish band, I saw them many times here. I thought it was so cool that they did the Sabbath covers with Nina's fragile voice. Cheers!

[@tituschalk]

Oh wow, some nice pickups! Made me pull out my copy of Tortoise’s Millions… Still on the hunt for a copy of TNT. International Harvester sounds great, will have to check it out!

[@vinylstockholm]

Thanks! I'm happy with my finds. Millions is probably my favorite of theirs, but I don't have it. Yet.😊 thanks for tuning in!

[@78rpmblog]

I was there too and very happy with my findings, and I even managed to stay within budget. You found some great albums there, particularly Ragnarök. Great video - grattis till fina inköp.

[@vinylstockholm]

Tack! Ja det är svårt att hålla sig till sin budget, haha. Jag har nyligen upptäckt Ragnarök, riktigt bra skiva. Trevlig helg!

[@robison5396]

Hi from the UK..Looks like it was a great fair..loved that International Harvester, have never heard of them.before.. interesting sound. Love me some Beck..Odelay! is great although Mutations is my favourite. I listened to Think Pink a while back and didn't get it..I need to listen again and reappraise it. Great stuff, have just subbed. Rob.

[@vinylstockholm]

Hi Rob! Yes, International Harvester, Harvester and Träd Gräs Stenar is worth checking out (same band different names). Mutations is so great, still miss that in my collection. Thanks for subscribing!

[@xbgtfella]

Sold a white p/cover F/N double 12" recently at a local market in Brisbane Australia. A local experienced dealer said i wouldnt get anything for it. Turns out an expat kiwi spotted it and grabbed it for A$100 which i was pretty happy with. It was in nm- condition and i paid tuppence for it so i was stoked. By the way any ist press Britpop vinyl goes for serious money down here. Great video.

[@vinylstockholm]

Fantastic, those early FN are gold. I have that Dunedin Double, such a wonderful comp. Thanks for tuning in!

[@bernhard99]

Great to see!! I was not there, but maybe next time. Cool idea to sell at the same time. I got a Tortoise 12” from recordmania last month and really liked it. Will try and find a LP as well! And I also got Odelay last month - what a coincidence!

[@vinylstockholm]

Haha, what a coincidence! You should come next time, lots of fun digging for records and meeting up with friends. Cheers!

[@seekingathread]

Jonas, this was fantastic to see and love seeing the video of course. Nice pickup of TNT. At some point I'll trade in my later colored pressing for that one. One of their absolute best! International Harvester I sold since I had a later Finnish pressing (near the release) but need it back, preferably a copy like yours. I do have a 1st pressing of Hemat. I did not know Earth Free, will have to track and listen. Funny we share the same feelings about Odelay. I also recently picked up the original just last month and yeah, it held up but I still think there are some dated tracks. But still happy to have it. I believe the US Think Pink is the easiest to find, and weirdly it came out here first which never happens. So I see it all the time but still don't have the Sire copy, never in nice shape. Will replace my reissue at some point. And hey the Ragnarok was good, enjoyed that clip. Always happy to see a new video in the feed from you. Cheers!

[@vinylstockholm]

Hey Dom! Many thanks! I'm very glad I found International Harvester. The seller had two copies, same pressing and price, so I could pick it out the one in best condition. Hemåt is a great one too (have you found the marijuana plant hidden in the grass on the cover?). Yes, I knew you got Odelay too, I found it at the fair and went for it. I also think some of the stuff is a bit dated, but a nice addition to the collection. Now I only need Mutations... I think. I didn't know that Twink first came in the US, very cool. A bit strange that it even got a US release, as he's was a pretty obscure artist. Take care!

[@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf]

Great video, Jonas! The Stockholm Record Fair looked brilliant! I spotted loads of records I’d like in my collection… especially the Linda Hoyle solo album. I’m a massive fan of Odelay such a great album… I quite like hip hop and have always really liked Beck’s mix of analog instruments with hip hop beats. Neil Young must have had his lawyers at the ready when Earth Free put out that album. Sounded really cool 👌 Love that lo fi sound. Well done Jonas and enjoy!

[@vinylstockholm]

Thanks Jack! I didn't check, but that Linda Hoyle was probably not a cheap one, and I think it was unsold. Prices are often insane on those walls. Yeah, Earth Free is a new one to me so I have to discover it myself, but I really like Neil Young, and lofi, so what can go wrong? Have an awesome weekend!

[@BadEnglishRecs]

Interesting to see that Love Records released also Swedish band and with that kind of logo. That record fair would be once in a life time thing to do. Is there some Facebook page or website where is listed all record fairs in Sweden? mr. Finglish (Bäd English Recs)

[@vinylstockholm]

Hi! Yes, I guess some Swedish band released on Love Records. Cool label. There's a Facebook group with info about most Swedish record fairs: facebook.com/groups/56446007469 (in Swedish). Thanks for tuning in!

[@Mozart2Muse]

Hi Jonas, man, I wish I could have been there! (Maybe it's time to renew my passport). Especially considering my new-found love and admiration for Scandinavian folk-psyche-rock music that is often difficult to find in America, such as The Savage Rose. I cannot wait to explore that International Harvester record from 68! Thanks for the report and the video.

[@vinylstockholm]

Hi Franklin! Yes, I remember you're looking for Savage Rose, I have to look more for these. Hope you like International Harvester, their later work as just Harvester and Träd Gräs Stenar is worth checking out as well. Cheers!

[@xbgtfella]

It was this one. The Chills / Sneaky Feelings / The Stones / The Verlaines - Dunedin Double

[@vinylstockholm]

Love it, cheers!

[@arturogarcia5259]

Sov gott Rose Marie :😀

[@vinylstockholm]

😊

[@jasonlewis4770]

The biannual record fair in Huskvarna Sweden in november and april is by the same organiser.

[@vinylstockholm]

Yeah, I know about it, but I have never been there, too long drive from Stockholm I guess. Cheers!

[@rikstrange662]

My head is exploding. I wouldn’t know where to start at that event! Twink all day and all night loud! Love that lp. It is very off the hook! Ps have a copy of Earth free that I never played. Found it at a second hand store for $.99. Just dug it out and need to check this one out Thanks! 🖖🌎

[@vinylstockholm]

Hi Rik! Yes Twink is amazing, very cool find. And awesome that you have Earth Free, and for 0.99, that's a nice deal! I haven't really listened to is much yet, but what I sampled sounded cool. Have a great weekend!

[@instantparty8856]

I also don't have to have "country of origin" first press in my collection. If it's a UK artist, I am quite satisfied with a Euro, Oz or New Zealand etc first press as long as the condition is nice. I do however do a comparison audio test if I come across same title LP but alternative issues just to judge which is best!

[@vinylstockholm]

Cool! I normally don't compare audio between pressing, but it's nice to do when you have the chance. Cheers!

[@Imaxandco]

Looks like a nice fair. What is the date ? Is it once a year ? Thanks

[@vinylstockholm]

It is very nice! It's twice a year. End of February and end of September. Cheers!

[@Onionbaron]

I'm still hunting for that Ragnarök... They don't come cheap...

[@vinylstockholm]

Yeah, it has gone up in price. Good luck with the hunt!

[@jdiaz8289]

what how did i miss this??

[@Harrispilton22]

Ive got the 12" of Derirck Carters remix of Tortoise 'D's Winter Crazy Dub' which has the same sleeve as TNT but in blue. . Its always really cheap about £2..& is a great deep house track.,,strangely no track with that name appears on the Tortoise album you showed?

[@vinylstockholm]

Hi Harris! I'm not familiar with that remix, maybe he just used samples from TNT and put together a new track... just guessing here :) cheers!

[@StuntrockConfusion]

Killer remix, I play it often out in clubs

[@Harrispilton22]

@@StuntrockConfusion yeah, its great. I dont know anyone else who likes it,it sat in my local charity shop for a pound for weeks!

[@deancronin6934]

Earth free album is on Spotify, didn’t know they streamed private press music

[@vinylstockholm]

Yeah, it was reissued at some point, so I guess they also did a digital release of it. Cheers!

[@nigelcampag1290]

Fab buys....all killer. Why are all the best records located outside of the UK, even the UK records 😵‍💫. Den Bosch levels of face melting footage. Wasn't familiar with that Earth Free...very cool. Think Pink is great but I wish it had more tracks like 10,000 Words. You sold some lovely stuff Jonas, although I can understand you parting with Mary- Anne Paterson. Cheers Nige

[@vinylstockholm]

Haha, the grass is always greener. I bet there are some fine stuff to be found on the UK fairs. Some of the walls was totally mind melting, like the one with Mellow Candle. Well, I have to sell some from time to time, to finance the addiction 😂. But I'm totally fine with it. I have had those records for a long time and now someone else is gonna enjoy them. Cheers!

[@nigelcampag1290]

@@vinylstockholm I can honestly say I've never been to a UK fair with anything near the quality on show there. I'm sure you made a few people happy with those sales for sure 👍

[@xbgtfella]

That cause they reside in uk record collections and wonr come out in the wild til the owner dies Its true...

[@hasseelmerson]

Hello, wish I was there, maybe next time. 1971.....Int. Harvester was the first Lp I listened to at just opened culturhouse in Stockholm.This group once played at the roof at that house and also organized the Gärdet festivals that group played for free with names like "Sun goes Up" in the morning and changed names to "Sun goes Down" in the evening.....Fake memory?

[@vinylstockholm]

Wow, cool to see them live back in the days. I guess they were called Träd Gräs Stenar by 1971..? Bo Anders Persson was a key figure in the progg movement for sure. It would be cool if you could go to the fair some day :) Trevlig helg!

[@StuntrockConfusion]

ha, didn't the fair open on Friday afternoon for sellers, and pro buyers? ^^ What time were you there? I was there 10-15. I have quite a lot of Flying Nun, bought a lot of those at An Ideal of Living. Also only bought 5 records, very happy with those, too.

[@vinylstockholm]

You're right, I forgot to mention that. We only have a few crates so it's easier to do everything in the morning, but we'll probably miss some Friday deals. Ideal for a Living is one of my regular stores I visit, I work 50 meters from the store, so I drop by there almost every day. And I also bought some Flying Nun there, Boda usually picks up FN stuff on his buying trips to the continent. Damn, I didn't see you, I was there from 7 to 16, would have been cool to say hello.

[@StuntrockConfusion]

@@vinylstockholm soon, in den Bosch at the very least ^^

[@vinylstockholm]

@@StuntrockConfusion yeah! see you there :)

[@billstill1794]

Actually, I didn't care for the opening music - didn't know the band but it sounded like copyright-free AI created stuff to me - sorry! I'm more into the 60's/70's garage/psych. Didn't know International Harvester or Earth Free either but both seem more up my alley! I also have that Beck on CD but, like you, I'm not into when he got into the rap crap. I'll have to re-listen to it sometime to hear if it's a keeper or a dumper... I have approx 45-50 thousand vinyl records (LPs & 45s) and CDs crammed into my small living quarters here in the U.S. Used to have the U.S. copy of Twink but, alas, I sold it but have the re-ish CD.

[@vinylstockholm]

Holey moley, that is a big collection! I agree on most things except about Tortoise. Beck rapping is not my thing either. Thanks for tuning in!

[@StuntrockConfusion]

Booooooh on Tortoise, hahaha

I don't sample all the records I show, and I assume that Beck is more known than the others. I've also sampled a Beck track in my previous video (Intoxicating Gems). Cheers!
