Vinyl Community: March 2023 finds part 2

[@legopaidi]

And the great finds continue! I listened to that Happy Rhodes Ecto record as well as Whirlywirld, both are brilliant!!! Cheers John!

[@berwickshiremike51]

Whirlywirld? Looks interesting John. Some solid singles mate.

[@vinylrichie007]

I need to pick up a copy of Little Creatures. Pump Up The Volume is a great 12”. I’ve never seen a 7” vertical swirl.

I am loving the new sharp shirt John D era 👍 Nice Ollie get. I have to try to track that down. I love his stuff. Bloody hell good luck finding the Missing Link version at a not insane price!! You're right John Dogs In Space is a great movie & the doco is better because it's got a lot of thiose bands talking about that scene. Really cool stuff. I don't know Hello Sailor & I thought I was all over NZ stuff! Shane Bourne!!! Ha, ha!! I had no idea. Madder Lake I know. Were you getting a pallet of records delivered during your vid John? I could hear a truck's backing up signals in the background ha, ha! Nice Talking Heads. I've got an Aus OG of Little Creatures which I bought as a kid. I don't know anything about Maria Dallas, but great of there time photos on the cover & inners. LRB...Jeez your a brave man 😂 OMG Marty Rhone...flashback to my Uncle's record collection. Him & Benjamin Hugg 🤣 Elliot Goblet...I forgot all about him. Talk about a blast from the past! Doug Mulray's Naughty Videos ha. ha! I'm with you John I still love Computer Games. Nice Pump Up With The Volume 12". Believe it or not I supported the dude from Pop Will Eat Itself at the Old Bar in the 90's. It's totally Brian mate ha, ha. I'm very jealous of those Go-Betweens 7"s. I'm even more jealous of that Hell To Pay 7". Ever since I read SPJ's biography I've been chasing that. I don't have that Buffalo 7", just the Vertigo LP's. Nice get mate. I love the ending with the 7 records with Red Bikini ha. ha! Great stuff John. Cheers...Ben PS Jees lucky I like Kate Bush ha, ha!

Wowsers😃Thanks Ben. Yep, the truck just left....😂Believe it or not, I've just found a Whirlywirld 7 of Window to the World. Cost me just under a pineapple🍍The 12 will be a challenge, though.....I got the reissue LP from Greville, where the Adalitas are selling for CRAZY money😲Hell To Pay was a 'grail' but I still can't find any of Biggsie's F*ck F*cks stuff......I've just finished Robert Forster's book, and I can't believe he gave Lee Remick 3 copies of the first ever Go-Betweens single of the same name. Geez, that thing is $1,000+ these days!!!! No, I don't have one. Running out of shirtage, rather like yourself. Cheers JD

Very interesting records. Great scores. Just like Ben Rankins vids, I don’t recognize many of these but I love your explanations. That Grace Jones cover is amazing - it is a stunning piece of art (imo). I like that Talking Heads album. Hey, I know Little River Band. I’ll check to see if it’s Embryonic Robot. I really like The Singer by Galas but she is very hard for me to enjoy but I appreciate what she does.

[@downundertuneage3875]

Thanks. Yes I've found some non-Aussie artists recently. LRB are one I didn't think I'd have but at the prices........why not? Grace is amazing, and photographs well, no wonder many top photogs wanted to have her as a model - and she sure can sing. Diamanda is a treasure: handle with care!!!!. Cheers John D

[@anotherfatbeardedmantalkin5893]

Hi! I love the song Ambush on that Maria Dallas album, it's a killer tune. The cover looks great too, it almost has a design you'd find on a Blue Note album. Cheers - Hedley

[@downundertuneage3875]

Yep, that Ambush song is a goodie, Maria D had that touch of sassyness (if there's such a word...) I'd only picked up on her due to the name similarity with Maria Callas, but Dallas can hold her own in terms of talent in her own genre - I'm almost liking country music because of her! 😂

[@Harrispilton22]

I’m listening to Grace Jones constantly at the moment. Just bought the ‘Love Is The Drug’ 12” & it’s got the song ‘Living My Life’ on the flip.I’d never heard that song, it’s fantastic.. Total suprise to see the PWEI 12” ‘Can U Dig It’ is my fav of theirs..love it. You never see The Go-Betweens 7” over here, luckily I bought all their albums when they were £5.00 each in the nineties. Never hear Buffalo, must investigate. Mr Rankins is going to have to up his Shirt game..that’s a killer!

[@downundertuneage3875]

Cheers Pilts. Last I heard, the Benster was having to recycle his shirts!!🤣Grace is amazing, I love her cool/cynical delivery. Yes, Go-Betweens can cost $$$ here - I know they pushed over in the UK, but I guess all the early stuff is now tucked away in collections. Their first ever 7; Lee Remick is my 'grail' of theirs, but well over a grand, even if I ever find one.....You've done well to get the LP's 👍

[@pc31thevinylpoliceman]

Looking very sharp in your beautiful shirt John, is that a pressie from Mrs DT? A great month for you John, some great Aussie pick ups but also some great overseas picks like Talking Heads. Love The Go-Betweens, one of my favourites. Cattle and Cain was a great pick up. Some of those vinyl prices you mentioned are a bit punchy. Mike🎸

[@downundertuneage3875]

Cheers Mike. Can't remember the place of shirtage, knowing us it was an Op Shop somewhere.....I much rather spend $$ on records, and not on pricey new threads.🤣 Go Betweens are a band with serious prices, try finding their Lee Remick single for under $1500 Australian, and that first (green) box set is similar money.😯I used to have a few of the Talking Heads albums on cassette tapes back in the day, and am now getting the vinyl ones.

[@pc31thevinylpoliceman]

@@downundertuneage3875 same in UK John. The Green box here is always over £1,000! Lee Remick is impossible to find, wow that Aussie price……wowsa!!

[@VagueRANT100]

Fatantastic vid John!.....I had one of Marty Rhones 45s....should have kept it going by the prices for them!!.......my sister was his P.A. for a while....he is a really nice guy!!!

[@downundertuneage3875]

Thanks David. From what I hear, he is still performing. Maybe didn't reach the heights of JP-Young (Squeak) but I bet his early records sell for way more.........

[@VagueRANT100]

@@downundertuneage3875 Oddly I gifted the very same sister a JPY best of CD last week

[@philipmatthews7128]

I have some Grace, most of Talking Heads and more importantly I have an original Whirlywirld.

[@downundertuneage3875]

Nice to have a Whirlywirld OG, you have done well.👍 Do you have any of their other 7's?

[@philipmatthews7128]

@@downundertuneage3875 Unfortunately no.

[@juzzy4683]

Where'd you get the Grace Jones from John?

[@downundertuneage3875]

Ooh, I think it might have been Dixons in Blackburn.
