I love Elbow. Wish I’d discovered them after I got back on vinyl. Rough Trade’s got a nice looking edition of their new album looks like? I’d love that Shed Seven album. Chasing rainbows is an amazing anthem of the age. Great Great Madness comp that I own on cassette. Got all the Eurythmics in those uniform looking CDs that came out years back. Not listened to the first one much. I do have the 1984 soundtrack but on vinyl from back in the day, and I looked at it and I’ve not treated it too kind back when I was a kid looks like. Hey, I also got that Beautiful South a few weeks ago (on vinyl) and with that cover. Love them so much. I really need to get Paul Heaton and his «solo» work with Jacqui Abbot. I have Acid Jazz records. Corduroy! 😊 All the music you show I love or want Rob 😊 Hey, got my first VCLT yesterday! Have a great rest of the week man! Cheers from Morten.

Noel’s ‘Who Built The Moon’ is utterly magnificent mate; definitely my fav solo album of his and very much looking forward to seeing him at Piece Hall in August 😎 The Beautiful South’s debut album is amazing; I really do hope they get to reissue ‘Blue Is The Colour’ & ‘Quench’ down the line 🤞 Fantastic haul video Rob; have a good weekend bud 😀🍿🎸🎶

Hi Rob. Shed 7, that's a band we don't hear too much about on the VC. I really like Monster, I just picked up the CD from Oxfam for a couple of quid last week. I love The Age of Plastic, it's a Top 10 album for me. Their second LP is even harder to find but is also good. If you ever see the original Bruce Woolley Camera Club album, pick it up - it's got the original versions of Clean Clean and VKTRS on it. I'd forgotten about Young Disciples, that's a blast from the past. Cheers, James

I'm Never Going To Cry Again is sublime and the video was wonderfully atmospheric.

Hey Rob. Having grown up near York, we always used to see Rick Witter swanning about at gigs trying to do his best Ian Brown swagger. Weirdly, last year a friend messaged me to say she'd just spotted me on TV. She had been watching a documentary about the Britpop years. In a section about Shed Seven, there was archive film from 1994 following the band around York, and in a record shop you could see me and a mate in the background. I have no recollection of the filming and hadn't seen it back in the day. That was a surprise. Cheers - Hedley
