[@PaulGibbons13]

Hi Rob great video The Cheap Trick Album The Dream Police is good especially the track The Dream Police there previous album Heaven Tonight released in 1978 is good as well hope you like 😀

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Paul I gave dream police a listen and it’s a keeper .. thanks for watching and commenting 👍🐣

[@retromusings]

Such fun to see what you've picked up at the car boot sale. Weather is getting better for a more enjoyable mooch. Winter time is just too muddy to do any car boot shopping.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi car boot sales always throw up the unexpected which always makes them fun .. thanks for watching 👍

[@davidellis5141]

Hi Rob - I remember buying The Thin Wall 12" when I was in England summer of 81 ..it was the first single from Rage In Eden a really good album by them. Picked up Fire by U2 & Spellbound by Siouxsie at the same time as lead singles for October & Juju. Great year for music , 1981.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi David oh yeah rage of Eden I’ve never owned it … I’m not the biggest fan but the thin wall is excellent.. 81 was a great year the 2nd summer of love 😃

Great grabs, Rob! Cheap Trick great rockin’ tunes with fantastic harmonies and melodies. Safe As Milk is my favorite Captain Beefheart album. Focus rocks! Nice Commitments! I’m not the biggest Queen Fan either, lol. Congrats!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Steve thanks for watching I checked out some of the ones you bought loved major lance the monkey time and Jackie Wilson at the copa .. everything you bought was interesting to say the least cheers 👍

[@darcyska]

Lots of great finds at that price! Love the soundtrack for The Commitments - fantastic film as well. Supremes and Winwood are great finds!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi .. car boot sales are great fun .. sometimes you find nothing other times you’re rewarded. Thanks for watching. Have a great easter 👍🐣

[@vinylwood]

Great finds and real classics. I must have at least half of em. Here in Canada we don't have "boot sales". Cool stuff.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi I think car boot sales are similar to flea markets that you have in America and Canada …. I visit them regularly you don’t always find much but if you keep going your persistence is rewarded. 😃. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@MGKBOSTON]

Hi Rob! I can still remember seeing The Commitments at the cinema when it came out. Loved it. I have the soundtrack, but a CD copy. Same as Broken English. Love the cover art on that Diana Ross album. I actually just heard the other day that she's just turned 80 years old and is doing a short tour this year. She lives in my neighbor state of Connecticut. Pump Up The Volume Rob!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Mike , I’m with you on that Diana Ross cover it’s a classic .. I hope you had a great Easter 🐣 I spent mine in London visiting my son and we found some time to go digging for records. Thanks for watching Mike. Hope coulton also had a fun Easter 🐈👍

Really good haul!!! Especially that Eurythmics, Queen, kd Lang, The Commmitments and George Duke!!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Scott .. thanks for watching I hope you had a great Easter 👍🐣

A Star Trek & Queen record! Rachel cries foul! 😂 Glass Houses is a great BJ album btw!❤

Hi Michael I’m sure Rachel will approve .. I’m desperately in need of William shatners greatest hits😃 .. thanks for watching 👍

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Very interesting records, Rob. I am also not a big Queen fan, but I just bought Live Killers anyway. The Commitments was a real find. I have never seen a vinyl copy before!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Brian, when I’m at car boot sales I tend to blind buy .. it’s always fun never knowing what you’ll find .. thanks for watching 👍

[@andysalbums]

Great haul. I love Focus and I''d like to get some Beefheart, if I see a good copy. I do like Queen and I like a live album. I'm proper jealous at such a haul. There are hardly any boot sales near me and never anything worth getting at a bargain price. Same with charity shops. George Duke. Wow! Scorpions are pretty good. Ross, Joel, Faithful so good. Fab

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Andy I’ve had some pretty good finds this year occasionally you find very little but that’s rare I’m in London this weekend so I’m hoping to find something in the capital 😃. Thanks for watching 👍🐣

[@gatefold33]

Great mix of finds Rob, especially the 12"s. I'd probably have grabbed most of those if I'd found them. Apart from the first one, car boots have been cancelled or pretty rubbish for the last month or so. Hopefully things will pick-up after Easter.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi dale ..believe it or not I am trying to be more selective It’s just as well that I don’t go to car boots every week .. but when I do I’m always happy with what I find .. Sundays turn into a mini adventure 😃.. thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@iankirk4660]

Hi Rob, love Broken English. I’m always on the lookout for a copy as The ballad of Lucy Jordan is one of my all time favourites and I totally get what you said about Glass houses. Great album. Take care mate.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Ian , I’ve always fancied a copy of broken English It rarely gets mentioned but I think it decent .. ditto glass houses .. finally I admit it I like it 😃. Thanks for watching 👍

[@gregorycarnes3521]

Interesting finds. For my money Marianne Faithfull's Broken English is my pick for best of the lot. About Cheap Trick, while i like Dream Police my facorite is their debut. It is one of my go to records ever since i bought it after seeing them open up for The Runaways in 1977. My first concert.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi .. all these records were super cheap and most were in good condition. If I don’t like what I buy I pass them on , you’re right broken English was a great find. Thanks for watching and commenting it’s appreciated 👍

[@nicholasbuttery511]

Try to find David Bowie singles ? They are almost impossible in quest.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi.. I was fortunate about 20 years ago at a car boot sale someone was selling David Bowie entire singles and album collection and I offered them £20 and they agreed 😀👍. Thanks for watching

[@LloydBoonworldofmusic2]

Hi Rob, some cool pick ups there, but slightly off track: i have a friend who lives in rural Kentucky, and just after i visited him in 2011 his neighbour;s property went up for sale. it was purchased by none other than Capt James T Kirk!!!. Shatner actually went to all the neighbours and introduced himself as 'hi im Bill, im your new neighbour'. he then proceeded to invite the neighbours around for a barbeque (including my mate and his wife). just goes to show that some actors remain pretty level headed after all their fame - Lloyd

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Lloyd nice anecdote ,I’m staying with my son and his girlfriend in London this Easter and I introduced them to the many talents of Captain Kirk they especially enjoyed his version of common people .. thanks for watching 👍🐣

[@xiigodz]

Nice pickups Rob....how do you clean the bootsale records that are a bit dirty?

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi through my spin-clean which is ok but some I recently picked for £1 like the George duke needed physically cleaning with a sponge then spin cleaning 70% play well the rest had to be binned for £1 it was worth the risk. Thanks for watching 👍

[@nicksvinylbutty5488]

The weather down my way has been quite rainy for the past couple of months and the carboot sites have been quite saturated etc... There might be one on this Easter weekend,I'll have to double check. There are quite a few dealers though in shops and antique type places within an easy drive from me,so I might just check them out ??? I'm no car expert but I'm damn sure that was a Morris Minor on that sleeve. I've never seen The Commitments film all the way through. Like a lot of films I settle down to watch,I fall asleep . I've even done it at the cinema !!! Great and interesting finds Rob 👍👍👍

[@benrankins4446]

I wish we had an equivalent to car boot sales over here. There's a few channels I watch that always pick up great stuff at a reasonable price. I love Beefheart but that's not generally regarded as one of his better ones. The easiest way in is the first one Safe As Milk. If that's to weird for you go no further or if you dig it get ready for a wild ride. The Scorps...nice! That Ultravox artwork is kinda disturbing 😂Cheers...Ben

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Ben can your boot sales are always fun. You just never know what you’ll find …. Thanks for watching 👍

[@catherine6653]

I like Billy Joel Glass Houses. It's Still Rock and Roll is one of my favorites 😊

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Catherine you’ve great taste 😃. Thanks for watching have a great Easter 🐣 👍

[@carltweed942]

Hi Rob. I must make an effort this year to get to a few car boot sales ... I've got Cheap Trick's 'Dream Police'. I saw them live a few years ago. I stood next to Roy Wood during the gig, and he got up on stage for the encore. Cheap Trick are big fans of Roy ... John Otway was a good find. I'm not a car expert, but it would make more sense for it to be a Morris Minor ... Nice Pet Shop Boys and Prefab Sprout 12-inchers.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Carl , yes I also think it’s a morris minor , John is such a one off it’s fun seeking out his records. I don’t mind that cheap trick album I think it’s a keeper . If you don’t find any records at boot sales you’re guaranteed to find CDs and books so they rarely disappoint. Thanks for watching have a great Easter Carl 👍

[@carltweed942]

@@robwalkerletthemusicplay Cheers Rob. Have a great Easter weekend.

[@vinylmartini3377]

Some great finds Rob. That 1984 was in the original release of the film, but the director had it forced on him by the producer, Richard Branson. In the subsequent release of the director’s cut he replaced it with other music. Caused a bit of a stir at the time. Some really varied records. Great Alex Harvey. Can’t help you on the Captain Beefheart. Billy Paul is a great soul singer. Billy Joel is wearing his Jam tie. Cheers.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi jack the joy of car boot sales is you never know what you’ll find and the prices are always decent .. thanks for watching jack 👍

[@brucevinyl3504]

You've been busy, Rob. I'm having to tighten my belt with vinyl purchasing. That Beefheart album is hardly their best. The one before ('Safe as Milk') and 'Trout Mask Replica' are better. Let's hope for some sunshine then I may brave the car boot sales.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Bruce I’ve been pretty lucky this year at the car boot sales. I’m in London this weekend so I’ll see what’s on offer in the capital.. thanks for watching have a great Easter 🐣 👍

[@PaulGibbons13]

John Otway album it looks like a VW Beetle 😀

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Paul .. most people tend to think it’s a morris minor… in all honesty I’d take a vw everyday .. thanks for watching 👍

[@brianjames5685]

it's a Morris Minor I think. It's definitely not a beetle, some bits of the picture make me doubt it's a minor but could be the angle or maybe altered by airbrushing to create a more appealing image. Anyway enough of the bits of the photo are Morris Minor. I couldn't place John Otway but knew I'd heard the name, I thought that sounds like the name of the dude who did "headbutts" lol. What do you know my memory still kind of works, that song used to be the last tune of the night at a local punk night I used to attend. It was always "Nelly the Elephant" by the Toy Dolls second to last song and headbutts to finish.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Brian most comments suggest it’s a morris minor😃 .. I remember the toy dolls Nellie the elephant was a great end to any evening. Thanks for watching 👍

[@MortenAastad]

Speaking of the Commitments (when I went to film College, the European Film College, I played drums and also sang in our soundengineer teachers band, the EFC Commitments) have you seen the second of the Roddy Doyle trilogy The Snapper? Love the film (the third was The Van). Those films made me a Trekker! Yes, I asked in my moviestore «do you have anything else with Colm Meaney?!?» Yes they did, it was called Star Trek Deep Space 9! My copy of 1984 is… not well 🙄 Nor my copy of Marianne Faithfull. My late sister gave me that one. Love that Stevie Winwood album. Not shabby finds at all. Have a lovely Easter our Rob 😊

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi morten I remember reading those roddy Doyle books back in the day .. Steve winwoods albums are always decent I couldn’t turn it down for £1 .. thanks for watching 👍

[@MortenAastad]

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

nice haul. there are some bargains still out there 🙂 I've got a copy of Live Killers signed by he whole band Scorpions have some really dodgy album covers. Animal Magnetism reminds of that Smell the Glove album from Spinal Tap!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi I agree some of those scorpions covers are a bit dodgy but I like them 😃.. live killers signed would be nice to have .. thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@StephenSchnee]

Hey, I'm mildly offended by that slight against us Power Pop-loving Americans! :) Apart from that, mostly a lot of nice scores for good prices! big Deaf School fans but never heard anything by The Planets. Looks like a few cool musicians were in that band (Steve Lindsey from Deaf School as you state, plus Chris Skornia who ended up in the Fabulous Poodles and The Truth!). Love that Billy Joel album (my fave is The Stranger). That's a great Ultravox single... and Prefab Sprout.... so great! And of course, The Members were great, too. Totally overlooked. And "Constant Craving" is an all-time fave song of mine. I can spin that 5 times in a row and still not be tired of it!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Stephen I passed on a deaf school album recently I noticed you featured them last week .. it was interesting that Chris from the truth used to be a member he was brilliant on keyboards in the truth . The planets never got much chart interest I’m sure you’d like the track lines which was a minor hit . In 80 they released a great single don’t look down.. they quickly disappeared soon after .. thanks for watching and commenting Stephen have a great Easter 👍

[@StephenSchnee]

@@robwalkerletthemusicplay I ordered a CD with two Planets albums on it so I'll be able to enjoy them in full soon! Thanks for the tip! And happy Easter to you and your family!

[@robison5396]

Hey Rob I always liked Dream Police, my brother had the 45 single. Broken English splits opinion, but I really like it.Ballad Of Lucy Jordan is great. I had Queen Live Killers on tape when I was about 13 and played it until the tape got chewed up. Julia is wonderful from 1984..I used to have that on 12". Always worth picking up Supremes albums, I tend to whenever I see them. Love the Sprouts..that was their best period for sure. I'm hoping to go to a record Fair in Stratford upon Avon on Monday, hopefully pick up some gems..have a great 🐣 too 🙏

I'd love to pick up some cheap beef heart. Anything but trout mask replica. Gonna have to check out George Duke. I remember liking a song by La Roux. I would have picked that up. This video is the perfect remeinder to go to the flea market.

I checked and they srart up 4/7.

[@Carl-x8y3c]

Hi from New Zealand. I have seen Cheap Trick in concert. I think it was in 1979 here in NZ. They played very loud and shook the venue. I like their cover of Fats Domino's hit Ain't that a Shame. That got me excited when they performed that. I had that album Broken English by Marianne Faithfull in 1979. Good record and a classic. I like her The Ballad of Lucy Jordon . I have the soundtrack of the Commitments movie too, but on cd. Looks like a Morris Minor Convertible on that record cover to me. My mother knew a lady who drove one back in the early 1970s. I liked that song You may be Right back in 1980 by Billy Joel. It's on that album Glasshouses. Good records . From Carl.

[@jeffsimon9594]

Yeah some bandmates I had in NZ were still raving about that show over 15 years after the fact!

[@Carl-x8y3c]

@jeffsimon9594 Yes Cheap Trick were certainly a blast.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Carl .. Id heard a lot of people giving cheap trick praise so when I saw dream police going cheap I thought why not ! And I wasn’t disappointed.. I’ve been after broken English for a while so it was nice to find a nice clean copy .. finally I’ve fond memories of glass houses and it’s aged well .. thanks for watching and commenting Carl it’s really appreciated 👍

Alright Rob , Where to start I have no idea. I am a huge Queen Fan and your murderous rendition of Crazy Little Thing might explain your dislike , you ought to get 20 years behind bars for crimes against Freddie ,!!!!. Alex Harvey was a right nutter and a real character , might be a bit heavy for thee lad. If you like Captain Beefheart I will be very surprised. You made me laugh about hiding the Billy Joel album from your mates cos we have all done it. Finally I think you are like me in that I convince myself I want certain Albums when I do not really but Star Trek mate , another 10 year stretch for that methinks. Entertaining if somewhat odd.

I hate to be a stickler but *please* don't pinch the edge of the LP like that when you pull it out, you are leaving finger oil etc and messing up the outer grooves. Instead slip hand inside sleeve and put your fingers under the label with thumb on the very edge of the disc. ANYWAY I also love The Planets, some music buddies of mine know the guitarist Barry Lines and keep promising to get my albums signed!
