Hi, thanks for watching. Definitely the best album of the year.

Hi Mike. I've been watching your videos for months and always enjoy your content. I preorder the new Cure LP from their web site months ago. I got the 2 LP half speed master edition. It sounds to me like it could fit in well with Faith and Pornography era of albums quite well. I saw them in concert a couple times in the 80s. They always put on an amazing show. The Propaganda LP brought back some memories too. I have the US release of A Secret Wish when it came out in '85 and saw them touring that album in Washington, D.C. at the old 930 Club. Thanks for what you do Mike and I will be looking forward to your upcoming videos.

Hi there. Thank you very much for your kind words. I think you're right about The Cure album. Anyone who likes Faith or Pornography will probably like the new one. Cheers Mike

Hello Mike, nice new vinyls! And cool Cure 7"! The Cure spoilt their fans now with their new album! I adore their live-album "Cencert" from 1984. I know that you like punk music, I have just made a Punk-special video here on my channel that you will like. I collect albums from different punkbands. I will check out Amyl and the Sniffers and Chubby & The Gang. Greetings Jason

Hi Jason. I've just watch your video. Good stuff. If you're going to check out Amyl and the Sniffers, the debut is their best in my opinion. Cheers Mike

Songs of a Lost World is not even available on vinyl in Toronto yet! Even Amazon Canada doesn't have it. I've been waiting impatiently. I watched the recorded live stream, and I enjoyed it. I am interested in that Public Service Broadcasting LP 🙂Great pickups, Mike.

Hi Brian. "not available in Toronto yet" that's outrageous. I'd consider emigrating 😂The PSB album is highly recommended. If you haven't got it already, check out "The Race For Space" also. Cheers Mike

The Cure were one of those bands I liked on the radio, but never quite enough to buy any records. My wife, Marian, was a bit of a goth in her twenties and did have a few Cure albums, which I've enjoyed. So I have bought the new record. Only played it once but really like it. PSB one of my fav current bands. The new album is really good, but not quite up there with the previous two. I have been mulling over whether to buy Amyl's new album. I decided not to on basis I've bought to much already. Thanks Mike

Hi Andy. I'm a big fan of PSB also. I've only listened to the new one a couple of times but it's shaping up to be one of my favourites from them. Cheers Mike

You might just got me into revisiting The Cure, as a Kid they were my favorite band and I used to have all their records until the Paris release but then my punk music obsession send me on a different direction :) thank you for this I’ll be ordering their new album based on your words. Cheers

Hi Joaquim. I still play the early Cure albums but some of the later albums didn't quite do it for me. This latest one really has me hooked. Give it a listen. Cheers Mike

Cure, Propaganda, Public Service Broadcasting all superb. Not struck on Amy and her band, saw them on Jools and wasn't struck. Chubby etc are new to me, l'll give them a listen.

Hi Mike, it was a really good month for new vinyl. The PSB is especially good with some lovely female guest vocals. I'm not that impressed by the latest Amyl. I saw them on Jools and they weren't great. I saw them when they toured their last album Comfort to Me and they were superb. Cheers Mike

Hey Mike, I really like the earlier Cure albums, but lost track of them after Mixed Up came out. I’ll need to go back and listen to their later albums. Everyone is talking highly of the new one and I love a band wagon! I’ve heard one track on the radio, which sounded good. I liked the first Amyl album, but haven’t heard anything since. Cheers, Jack
@mikevinylspiral29 күн бұрын
You're right Jack there's a real Bandwagon going for the Cure album, and rightly so. I would consider myself a fan of early Cure but this new one is right up there with their best. The latest Amyl I would say is one for the punk obsessed fans like me. I think they've lost their way a little with this one. If you want to buy another album of theirs go for "Comfort To Me". Cheers Mike

Glad your enjoying the Cure album too Mike - I’m amazed at how good it is ❤ the live broadcasts were brilliant too - I picked up a copy of the 1st Propaganda album last month for a fiver so will check out the new one ☝️

Hi Gav. I'm also amazed at how good the latest Cure album is. If you like "A Secret Wish" you'll also like Propaganda's latest. Cheers Mike

I need to stream that Cure album and see if it grabs me. Amyl album has been making the rounds. I have her previous two albums but honestly I never listen to them so I have to think this one over
@mikevinylspiral29 күн бұрын
Hi Steve. The latest Amyl album has something missing. Having listened to it a couple of times it doesn't really grab me like their previous stuff. But it's not a bad album. Cheers Mike

Hi Mike! I’ve streamed the new Cure and saw the live feed…sooo good! I need to check out that Public Service Broadcasting album- did you know that Laurie Anderson’s new album is also about Amelia Earhart? Very atmospheric and fascinating! Thx for sharing this month’s finds…cheers-R 😎

I tried to like the new Cure album but just couldn't get into it. Shame really because I love a lot of their 80s and 90s stuff. Still, fairplay to them for making an album after all this time. Mr Smith still sings as well as he ever did. Not familiar with any of the other bands but was still cool to see what you got.

I've got Propagandas "1234" which I had on Cassette and played to death then brought it on CD, I originally brought it because of the song titles "Vicious" & "Ministry Of Fear" Sounded interesting But "La Carne, La Morte E Il Diavolo" I my favorite track, It sounds like a chilly morning on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. There new album is $283 the Vinyl version is slightly cheaper but still $147 why don't they have a website. I pre-Ordered the Cure Album months ago a 3CD set their last good album was Wish, so I'm expecting this one to be Bloated awfulness but I'm a completest so I have no choice in these things.

Hi Billy, I don't have "1234" but it sounds like a decent album. I agree that the later Cure albums are not great. However this one is a return to form . Cheers Mike

Hmm… my comment isn’t here? I said, Hurray a video from Mike and agreed with your Cure comments, some of which I touched on in my review and also said I have some Public Service Broadcasting, wishing I might have picked them up on vinyl, not that I remember seeing them around these parts. Cheers and take care Mike.

I'm intrigued by the new Cure album. I gotta be honest the last one that I really liked was Wish, but Seventeen Seconds, Faith & Pornography were the big ones for me. I gotta say I totally missed Propaganda, but seems like something I might like. I am still waiting for my copy of Public Service Broadcasting record. Still on bloody pre-order. Seems to happen a lot in the VC. People from the US & UK get records way before we see them over here. I really, really tried my best to go in open minded with the new Amyl singles & I'm still not down with them. They've never topped the early EP's. Chubby And The Gang's name would've been a great 70's funk band name. Sounds interesting. Cheers...Ben
@mikevinylspiral29 күн бұрын
Hi Ben. It's the early Cure that does it for me. The only time I saw the live they were touring Seventeen Seconds! But this album is superb. I think you'd like Propaganda. When you get the PSB album you're in for a treat. I'm surprised you haven't got it yet as you Aussies live 9 or 10 hours in the future 😂The new Amyl is not a great album, sounds a bit cliched, so I don't think it would convince you to become a fan. Chubby and the Gang. Definitely sounds like they should be NY Funk. Cheers Mike
