My apologies!! of course it was richey Edward’s not Ricky Edward’s who went missing from the manic street preachers

[@onobori14]

Great Manics album there. You’re right, not one you see very much.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi rich, I was surprised at the the price £25 was pretty reasonable.. thanks for watching 👍

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Hi Rob - Substance is awesome. I have an original too ... well, an original Canadian. I have many Echo 12" singles, but I am missing that one. OMD! Yes, they went poppy wit that album. It's still good, though 🙂I'm actively looking for Wedding Present records, but they are difficult to find over here. I think Bill Nelson should have been more famous. Very nice pickups!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Brian, as I mentioned I couldn’t remember seeing that bunnymen 12inch either… I can understand wedding present records not being as available in Canada I think they predominantly had success in the uk .. thanks for watching 👍

[@TheProgCorner]

Very nice!!! OMD!!! Bloc Party!!! Awesome.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Cheers Scott 👍

[@LowNoiseJasonSkilz]

Oooh nice singles by The Fall and Echo! Dont know chapter house sounds in my wheel house though baggy and shoegaze. Record Fairs are fun. Ive filled many holes this past year at ones in Toronto. Nice to see some Farm! They were fun for a minute back in the day. Im still on the fence about OMD. A bit boring at times. Brian is a big fan for sure. Cheers man!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Jason yes those were 2 nice pick ups with the fall and echo .. omd are so different from 6 years earlier . I visit a Record show every month and they always deliver. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@isahalim1479]

Those are some good picks/Joy Division made some good music/I had their double album "Still"/Liked it/ Not familiar with Chapterhouse..might have to check them out

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi , chapterhouse are well worth checking out 👍. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@vinyldale]

Three records in a row I picked up from charity shops, that farm album and bruce Hornsby and the Range and that OMD album, Bloc Party thats a good find, the great Stevie Wonder, thanks for the mention

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Simon , really enjoyed that Bruce Hornsby album . Funny how Stevie wonder was incredible in the 70s and for the last 40 years has done nothing of note🤷‍♂️. Thanks for watching Simon👍

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

That is y favorite OMD album because it’s so poppy! That Bruce Hornsby album I terrific. Wonderful piano playing Nice additions Rob

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Steve. Very few people acknowledge Bruce Hornsby existence in the vc …. I quite like him …. Do you own anything by him ..? If not why not !😀. Thanks for watching Steve 👍

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

@@robwalkerletthemusicplay i spent some time trying to find the album you showed, it’s my favorite but actually had a hard time locating it. His next album as also excellent. He even made my top 10 ranking for that year. His piano playing is excellent and he does have a wonderful voice

[@louismartinez7387]

Nice channel Rob...glad I tumed in...a few new unknowns I need to check out...thanks for sharing.

Hi Louis, thanks for your encouragement it’s really appreciated.. thanks for watching👍

Nice stuff, Rob. The Farm! That takes me back, and still have that on CD. Great cover as you say. I've been on a 12" single kick myself. As always, an enjoyable watch 😎🎶 Ed

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Ed , I’m always picking up 12inch singles they always sound so good … 👍. Thanks for watching

Great to see your pick-ups! That Farm album is super. I managed to pick up a nice copy when I was in Berlin over the summer. Enjoy all those fab records.

Hi Rob - some great pickups there - so happy for you that you now have Innervisions in your collection. Stevie Wonder is a genius- cheers Bill

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi bill , I was fortunate to see Stevie live in 2013 …. Those 70s albums are all pretty essential.. thanks for watching 👍

[@steveviper1913]

Another nice and varied selection Rob. OMD and Hue & Cry are excellent and you can’t go wrong with any release from them. Nice copy of Substance there too!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Steve , the hue and cry album is one of my favourite finds of the year , though all of these records have been on heavy rotation recently Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@berwickshiremike51]

Great haul Rob, a nice eclectic mix. Not a bad one shown. Bloc Party for the win. That Manics though is special. I have that Air on cd it's superb.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Mike I’ve always liked bloc party I’m slowly swapping my CDs for records. Like wise with the manics albums 😀 .. thanks for watching and commenting Mike 👍

[@christianewen3227]

Some excellent albums there, Rob - as per - and brilliant to see Kingbee Records getting a mention. I love that shop! ❤️🎶 Best wishes, Christian

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Christian.. I usually go in king bee every couple of months .. my only criticism is they don’t have a new arrivals bin … I find the pricing to be generally on point .. thanks for watching and commenting 👍

@@robwalkerletthemusicplay I’ll definitely keep a lookout for you, Rob the next time I’m in there! I’d love to get to the shop more often than I do, but I always make the most of the time I spend in there 👍🏻 Best wishes, Christian

[@vinylgroovers]

Awesome selections Rob!

[@MortenAastad]

I was going to say, and then you said it for me! That Manics cover looks absolutely stunning in vinyl size. I still haven’t come across it in the wild. Awesome find Rob! Congrats! I also had a copy of that The Farm album. The Space of their age? 😄 Long gone, no idea where or when. Probably school in Denmark My friend in South Africa sent me that OMD on CD for my birthday. Thought it was unheard of that I didn’t have it. He loves them. Bloc Party also great album that. Got them on CD. One of those early 2000’s we were blessed with. I love Moon Safari and my VMP copy I got last year. Think I bought it same day as OK Computer? Good day that, living in Copenhagen. Great great September finds that 😊

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi morten , I remembered that you didn’t have that manics album so I gave you a cheeky name check … 😃. Bloc party hardly ever get a mention in the vinyl community, but I’ve most of there albums on vinyl. 👍One I wanted has just arrived I’ll show it in my next update. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@MortenAastad]

He he, cheeky in deed 😄

[@myles7522]

Hi Rob, thanks for the shoutout. I’ve just finished listening to Air before tuning into KZbin. Picked mine up in The sales at HMV last year. Will give inner Space records a try. Great pick ups and yes please do an Amazon box opening. Take care.

[@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf]

“The Farm, kind of professional scousers…a little bit off putting when your from the Manchester area” 😂 Great buys there, Rob. I’m keen to get some Wedding Present again… lovely Revolver mono. Silent Alarm and Moon Safari 👌 I need a copy of Innervision too… excellent stuff!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi jack , I’ve always liked the wedding present I’m actively looking for more to add to my collection.. silent alarm and moon safari are two albums I think would make my top 100 albums list ..though I’ve only just started to compile a list for a future trilogy 😃. Thanks for watching and commenting jack 👍

[@davidatkinson-Music-and-More]

I've not seen that Hue and Cry album on vinyl ever. I have a 10" release from that album, but I can't recall the title. There's a version of their first album (I think) which has a second disc of an intimate live performance, and I own a copy of that. Have you tried Convoy Records near Frodsham, Rob? I was up there a couple of weeks ago, and found very good stock (range and condition), sporty prices, and a friendly owner. Recommended.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi David I’ll have give frodsham a visit thanks for the recommendation.. I enjoyed your golf video yesterday .. that course looked pretty generous I thought your tea was a bit high off the first tee 😃. That hue and cry Record is a gem I’m glad I took it home .. thanks for watching 👍

[@davidatkinson-Music-and-More]

@@robwalkerletthemusicplay Well spotted Rob. It's not the most difficult of courses. Quite long though. Like I said in the video, 18 holes is too much for me!

[@andygladwin2049]

Hi Rob, nice to see Inner Space getting another shout out. I’ve been in a couple of times in the last month and filled my boots! For such a small space I think Brett does a great job in getting a good range of new vinyl and second hand. I’ve never failed to find something I want in there. Andy

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Andy , it must be really difficult opening a record shop , there’s so much competition… hopefully a few local viewers will visit inner space and support brettt .. thanks for watching and commenting Andy 👍

[@gavaxemanspins]

Good finds - I love that Manics album - especially the final song “Williams last words” proper tear jerker - don’t see Chapterhouse that often - underrated band imo - and every collection needs a Revolver U.K. mono ❤

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Gav.. I saw you show whirlpool recently so I knew you liked chapter house.. I’ve never seen anyone else in the vc show records by them🤷‍♂️. Not having revolver was criminal 😀. Thanks for watching 👍..

I missed Stockport Record Fair this time but hoping to get there in November. Thanks for reminding me - I must get a copy of Moon Safari in the collection!! Innervisions is such a brilliant album, I play it loads. The second I saw that yellow bag, I knew it was Kingbee lol. Such a brilliant shop. 👍. Cheers Rob.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Andy .. yeah those yellow bags give the game away 😀. Totally agree king bee is a excellent shop .... I always enjoy the Stockport record fair. I think it’s one of the best in the area .. thanks for watching Andy 👍

[@andysalbums]

Mono Beatles, nice! I have the Manics album on CD. I don't think I've ever seen it on vinyl. Never been into OMD or any of those 80s synth-pop bands. They released a few decent singles, but I've never had the urge to buy an album. Silent Alarm is a cracking album. I have the CD. Likewise Moon Safari. That's a nice Bill Nelson. I have all of BeBob Deluxe on vinyl. One of my favourite bands ever and Bill is one of my favourite guitarists ever. Great miz of records, Rob. Cheers

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Andy there’s quite a few people in the vc who are fans of be bop deluxe.. ,I have drastic plastic which is a good listen … I’d never seen that manics album on vinyl before. That’s why I grabbed it 😀.. thanks for watching Andy 👍

[@brianjames5685]

The farm groovy train 12" has some amazing DJ mixes on it. I still play the break beat one at gigs.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Brian , groovy train still sounds good to my ears .. thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@mad4vinyl802]

That Manics cover looks amazing in vinyl. I haven't seen it in the wild yet. The Bruce Hornsby title is excellent. He's a fantastic piano player. That's essential listening for Stevie Wonder. I agree he's one of the greatest songwriters. Some interesting Twelve Inch Singles.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi mark I was suprised to find that manic street preachers album for a good price . I’m always on the look out for 12inches particularly Manchester related ones .. I really enjoyed that Bruce Hornsby album. … a bit of a guilty pleasure.. thanks for watching mark and thanks for leaving a comment 👍

[@luytondriman6236]

Hi Rob, I enjoy your show, even though I only collect CD's, however, I'm interested to see what other people listen to and collect. I mainly listen to jazz / blues / country rock but a band I do enjoy from your part of the world is Magazine. I think 'Second-hand daylight', is excellent.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi, I also buy CDs ,they represent such value for money 👍. Magazine are a different sounding band to the majority of bands who came from Manchester maybe that why you like them so much😀 .. I’m also a fan, not enough people talk about magazine ! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@richards5280]

Great finds- Chapterhouse, The Farm, OMD (I love Dazzle Ships as well), Bloc Party…great stuff, some of which are quite hard to score in the States. Actually saw Bloc Party on their first US jaunt around the time that first album came out 😎👍

[@steveviper1913]

Your Best Buy has to be the Bill Nelson mini album, with Mick Karn onboard it makes for a fantastic listen. I agree that Bill Nelson is a superb artist but I do love his late 70s into the 80s period with the use of synths and electronics. Great production from him too.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Steve sorry for the late reply .. mick Karn’s bass playing is so recognisable he was one of the best and in places I think bill has the voice similar to David sylvian. I’m working my way through a few bill nelson albums I picked up recently I think he’s a really interesting and underrated musician.. thanks for watching 👍

[@samglendenning9884]

Fantastic haul there Rob 😀🍿🎸🎶 I need to get that album by The Farm at some point as I heard pretty positive things about it 👍 Love OMD’s first four albums man; ‘Dazzle Ships’ is utterly marvellous; been meaning to revisit the albums ‘The Pacific Age’ & ‘Crush’ for a while now; do have a soft spot for their album ‘Sugar Tax’ 😊👍 Absolutely love AIR’s ‘Moon Safari’ mate; what an album 🤩 I saw them at the Piece Hall back in June and they were absolutely ace Rob; as Simple Minds were when I saw them in Glasgow back on Good Friday earlier this year 😀 Love The Wedding Present’s first two albums; haven’t got round to checking out their other studio albums in their catalogue; but I must make time for their other records as like you say; there an awesome band 😀👌 ‘Innervisions’ is a superb album Rob; I love listening to a lot of Soul in the Spring/Summer time; amazing stuff 🙌 Hope you having a great week Rob and fantastic Vinyl additions man; you got superb taste 😀🍿🎸🎶

[@vinylmartini3377]

A great month Rob. I got that Bruce Hornsby for cheap, not thinking much of it but was surprised how wild it is. The Bill Nelson is so far away from Be Bop as you can get, but in a good way. Great Stevie Wonder. Car trouble 😡😡😡. Cheers mate.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi jack ! Yeah car trouble for sure 🤷‍♂️.. Bruce Hornsby had a nice run in the mid 80s .. he hits the sweet spot when I’m in the mood ..thanks for watching 👍

[@jamesgriffithsmusic]

Hi Rob. Just been spinning OMD tonight funnily enough. I have a mono Revolver but unfortunately it's slightly warped and only plays if I balance a 1 pence piece on top of my stylus. I remember Hue & Cry, will check out Stars Crashed Down. Moon Safari never really grabbed me back in the nineties ( thought they ripped off ELO too much with all those vocoders 😉). I did really like the Premiers Symptomes EP they did a couple of years after that though.

[@TCatsDeepVinylTraxx]

Some great finds there. I tend to agree about that OMD album, probably a bit too commercial for my taste, but they did have a lot of better albums. But that's okay, if I saw The Pacific Age out there, I would have picked it up too. I also have no issues with Bruce Hornsby, but I've also been a bit lukewarm with his music because it can be a bit same-y, at least it was in the earlier days. I did hear one of his albums (not sure which one) where he added a brass section to his band, and it was quite impressive, but I haven't followed him as closely as I probably should. Great find with "Moon Safari". Always have a tough time finding anything on vinyl from Air. "Innervisions" from Stevie Wonder, always great!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Mike , I’ve noticed you’ve been uploading videos recently that black keys album was a beauty.. Bruce Hornsby is a bit samey but it was a winning formula for a while .. pacific age couldn’t be more different from early OMD albums .. they changed so much .. thanks for watching and commenting 👍

What a brilliant idea by wedding present to do a single a month with a cover on the flip. Tbh the covers seem more interesting. Crickey Rob you've been busy. I've barely dabbled much at all this year after leeds. Maybe a scouser nicked your Farm album. Am a bit lukewarm on them and fancy selling my copy. Manics you cannot go wrong with the first 5 1/2 ish ones. After then my interest dipped. Second album gold against the soul is very underrated.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Martin … I have been busy buying and working this year 2024 has been a bit of a blur … the more I listen to the more recent manics albums the more I like them😀 , I can understand you being lukewarm about the farm…🐮I saw a video on KZbin about flooding in Aylesbury from a drone. ….
