Enjoyed that Andy, new subscriber from Cardiff - look forward to more content.

[@andysalbums]

Thanks for watching and subscribing, Daniel. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers

[@MGKBOSTON]

Hi Andy! Robert & Toyah are an excellent pick! For sure they would be a fun time1

[@andysalbums]

I would have to try very hard not to stare at Toyah's t-shirt!! 🥸😂😈 Thanks for watching, Mike. Cheers

[@chris.e-t]

Hi Andy ! Happy New Year! Nice selection, I also chose Steven Wilson but it was for the 2nd question 😉

[@andysalbums]

Happy new year to you too, Chris. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@David-Ellis]

Hi Andy - another great video - thank you - great to see some Durutti Column shown.

[@andysalbums]

Thanks, David. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Vinny Reilly was so underrated. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@ChrisPropfeMusicallyObsessed]

Great response! New to your channel. I had fun answering these questions as well. Uriah Heep! Yes!!!!!! Happy New Year!

[@andysalbums]

Thanks for watching, Chris, and taking the trouble to comment. Cheers

[@nathan9285]

Looking forward to your videos for this year, Andy.

[@andysalbums]

Thanks, Nathan. Cheers

[@chrisbull232]

Andy as I mentioned sea of tranquility Pete is doing a daily thing about 1974 which you would enjoy

[@andysalbums]

Hi Chris. I saw the first one, but need to catch up on yesterdays. I do generally watch Pete Pardo. Cheers

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

I am glad you enjoyed the Road Trip Andy, that was fun to do. Love the MBV album. Shoesgaze and dreampop have really made a comeback Andy. A few of you have shown that Lankum album. Well done on vinyl tag my friend

[@andysalbums]

Thanks, Steve. False Lankum is a pretty amazing listen. A bit challenging in some ways, but well worth checking out. Cheers

[@gatefold33]

Happy New Year Andy! False Lankum would be high on my 2023 too and certainly isn't your typical folk album. That would be an interesting party I'm sure. I like the threads that test you and I'm partial to a list too. I enjoyed your responses and thanks for the mention, cheers Dale

[@andysalbums]

Happy new year to you too, Dale. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@TheVinylOrchard]

I so want a copy of maggot brain. The guitar on maggot brain is mind blowing Cheers, Chris

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

So do I but all the reissues are said to be crappy, I've been waiting for a decent reissue for far too long

[@andysalbums]

Hi Chris. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@andysalbums]

I know what you mean. My copy isn't the best pressing, but It's not bad. Plays OK. I do keep my eye open for a better copy. Rough Trade had a 50th anniversary out earlier this year but it sold out before I noticed. They have a 180gm version availabke at £22. I thought about it but decided my copy is OK enough. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

@@andysalbums The 50th anniversary pressing is meant to be awful unfortunately

[@andysalbums]

@@crazyprayingmantis5596 Blimey. I'm glad I didn't spot it then, as I probably would have bought it! Cheers

[@SteveWhitty1965]

Hi Andy, greetings from Sutton Coldfield. Great response to the vinyl tag. I too discovered Lankum late last year but have yet to purchase the album. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@andysalbums]

Hi Steve and say hello to Sutton from me! I lived in Sutton a couple of times in the 80s and 90s in between various relocations with my job. Four Oaks/Mere Green in the late 80s and Little Aston in the mid 90s (postal address said Little Aston but it was geographically more Streetly being just off Hardwick Road). Anyway, Lankum is well worth getting. A remarkable album. Thanks for watching and subbing. Cheers

[@dotsloops7486]

I like that Chicken Shack album. Great tag! Subbed and Happy New Year! 🎉

[@andysalbums]

Hi. Happy new year to you, too. Thanks for watching and subbing. Cheers

[@RekkidTalk]

I saw a bunch of people that did the 10 Albums I Listened To Most but I've just discovered your channel. I liked the chain challenge as well and did it.

[@andysalbums]

Hey, thanks for watching, Chris. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I subbed you. Cheers

[@mikevinylspiral]

Hi Andy, I really enjoyed your answers to Rob's questions. False Lankum was the last album I bought in 2023. It nearly passed me by, but then Jumbo Records made it their album of the year and I'm really pleased to have it. Thanks very much for the shoutout. Happy New Year Mike

[@andysalbums]

Thanks Mike. I watched your tag last night but it was on the TV so too difficult to comment. I enjoyed seeing all those French records. Cheers

[@martinsvinyl1985]

Happy new year! Imagination lady is a killer record 🔥

[@andysalbums]

Happy new year to you too, Martin. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@myles7522]

Hi Andy, Happy New Year. So glad you decided to do this vinyl tag. You showed a great selection of albums and I hope this tag will send your way more subscribers….looking forward to your December round up….👍

[@andysalbums]

Hi Myles. Happy new year to you. And thanks for keep coming back! I do appreciate that. Cheers, mate

[@DaddyRich71]

Just watched and subscribed, Andy - those are very nice choices. I'm thinking of filming mine tonight if I can and uploading tomorrow. I like the wide range of questions involved. Cheers.

[@andysalbums]

Thanks Rich. I'll look out for your video. Thanks fior watching and subbing. Cheers

[@UnsightlyVinyl]

Hello Andy. I’m new to your channel. I enjoyed your responses to the vinyl tag. Noel Gallagher was invited to my imaginary dinner party also. It was good seeing The Verve’s “Urban Hymns”. They make an appearance in my vinyl tag responses as well.

[@andysalbums]

Thanks for watching, David. I subbed you and will check out your tag. Cheers

[@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf]

Great stuff Andy! Mogwai Young Team is class! I would like to get False Lankum… interesting stuff. Need a copy of Maggot Brain too! Liked and subbed. Cheers, Jack

[@andysalbums]

Thanks, Jack. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the sub, too. I subbed you back. Cheers

[@beerandvinyl]

Steven Wilson? Peter Gabriel? Loveless? Origin of Symmetry? Crime of the Century! Count me all in for all of this! Great response and subbed. Cheers! -Alex

[@andysalbums]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and subbing, Alex. Cheers

[@GAMERLONN]

I love The Drugs Don't Work by The Verve. I have a digital copy of it.

[@andysalbums]

The whole abum is a true all killer. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@vinylrichie007]

70’s is a great decade but would have to be my number two. Your description of Lankum has peaked my interest.

[@andysalbums]

I was very close to opting for the 90s tbh. Thanks for watching, Richie. I'll be watching your tag later. It popped into my notification yesterday, but I was running around and didn't get a chance to watch it. Btw here's a link to my 2023 #3 video on Lankum. It's just 5 mins... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qauQaZuZidGSiqc

[@RobertsOnMyTurntable]

Great entries. You are a new channel to me, so I gave you a sub!! Love Uriah Heep! 70s is mine as well. Denny was amazing Never heard of that album lol That Muse album is really good Crime of the Century is a classic Awesome choices

[@andysalbums]

I would have picked Tony McPhee instead of Denny Laine, but had totally forgotten he had passed in 2023. I have loads of Groundhogs albums and saw them a few times in the 70s. Thanks for watching and for the sub. I subbed you back. Cheers.

[@mikesgotthespins5894]

Great vinyl tag video Andy, I just discovered your channel and subbed you up, dig that YES picture disk, My Bloody Valentine and Muse great stuff, also King Crimson makes me think of one of my new favorite bands, I believe they may be from your neck of the woods, King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard, I discovered them a few years back and they are pretty darn good, I mainly talk rock vinyl on my channel and post a few concert clips, thanks again for sharing the awesome records, Peace!

[@andysalbums]

Thanks, Mike. I have a few King Gizz albums, but only one on vinyl which is a live box set. They must be one of the most prolific bands on the planet releasing so many albums. They hail from Melbourne, which is very nearly half a planet away from me in southern England. I subbed you back. Thaks for watching, Mike. Cheers

[@mikesgotthespins5894]

@@andysalbums Wow I apologize, I thought I heard an Aussie accent, well cheers to you, and thank you for the sub, sounds like you really know your music.

[@andysalbums]

@@mikesgotthespins5894 hey it's no problem, Mike. My accent is a mild Birmingham accent. Not quite Ozzy!

[@carltweed942]

Hi Andy. Great varied selection. I picked 'Vini Reilly' by Durutti Column for the Manchester question ... Lankum are an extraordinary band. I first heard them on John Kelly's Mystery Train show on RTE Lyric FM. If you've not listened before, he plays some interesting stuff. Every episode is a musical journey (some better than others) ... I picked a Funkadelic album too ... If the first Yndi Halda record is a one-hour EP, then 'Tubular Bells' can I suppose be classed as a 12-inch single, and 'Close To The Edge' is a maxi-single. All the best for 2023, Carl

[@andysalbums]

Thanks for watching and your lovely comments, Carl. I did watch your Tag when you posted it, but it was on the TV so I couldn't comment. I intended to look you up on my pc next day, but forgot. I've subbed you now though. Cheers

[@carltweed942]

@@andysalbums Hi Andy. I've been watching the vinyl tag videos on the TV too. The only downside is not being able to post a comment ... Thanks for the sub and I'll catch up with you again soon. All the best, Carl

[@block-head2982]

I love that Captain fantastic album, setting sons is definitely my favorite jam album, I was lucky enough to find the 79 Canadian pressing which adds strange town and butterfly collector. It seems like oasis fans are either a Noel or Liam fan, I’m definitely Noel

[@andysalbums]

Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed the video, Cheers

[@NorthernRevolutions]

Hey Andy. Just discovered your channel because of the vinyl tag. Just subscribed. Liked what you showed. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. Feel free to check out my vinyl tag too. Cheers - Rob

[@andysalbums]

Hey, thanks for watching and subbing. I subbed back and will check out your tag. Cheers

[@chrisbull232]

Andy do you watch 'sea of tranquility ' on KZbin?

[@andysalbums]

Yes, Chris, I do watch some of it at least, mostly the daily run down like the current '74 list. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@Kevvinm]

I’ve watched a bunch of vids for this topic and have not seen anyone pick Sparks. They released both Kimno My House and Propaganda in 1974. They also have a great 2023 release as well.

[@andysalbums]

I've seen a few people pick the new album in their 2023 top albums list. For me they are a band I've always liked but not quite enough to buy their albums. I did stream the new album and enjoyed it, but just not quite enough to shell out and buy it. Anyway, thanks for watching, Kevin, and for taking the trouble to comment. Cheer

[@domb8448]

'Loveless' was not the debut from MBV.. 1988s 'Isn't Anything' was.

[@andysalbums]

I stand corrected. I didn't know that. I knew they'd had a few EPs but had always assumed that Loveless was their first LP. Anyway I know now. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@domb8448]

@@andysalbums they recorded a ton of stuff prior to Loveless, which I hope you've checked out. Recommend the eps 88-91 released on cd in 2012(?) - You Made Me Realise, Feed Me With Your Kiss, Glider and Tremolo. A glorious compilation and a taste a what was to come, and way overdue a vinyl release. I'd be interested to hear what you think of the album 'mbv', btw.. Kudos for Durutti Column inclusion.. One day, Vini will have a glorious day in the sun - until now, at least, shamefully overshadowed by the similarly gifted Johnny Marr. Vini has a broader range, depth and emotion to his compositions. He should be globally recognised.

[@andysalbums]

Thanks, Dom. I will check out that compilation. And I need to listen to mbv again. I bought that when it came out but haven't spun it in ages. As I recall it was a fine album but not as good as Loveless. Yes I agree that Vini is criminally under-rated. He is such a superb guitarist and such a shame he can't play is as well since his stroke. Thank again. Cheers

[@domb8448]

@@andysalbums I'm gutted.. I was unaware of his health issues. I hope he's lauded while still with us. Massive reissue campaign required.. as with The Fall and The Wedding Present. Cheers Andy, take care bud.
