Hello Hanna. Naturally, when you speak of XTC you have my full attention. I immediately noticed the Big Express behind you, front and center. I was living in Montana when Mummer and The Big Express were released and it seemed like I was the only person in town who was a fan. I loved both of those albums because the band explored new terrain for them. So unique. The cd versions have extra tracks which are brilliant and worth checking out. I am just beginning to explore Juliana Hatfield and Sad Lovers and Giants and like what I hear so far. Off topic, but I was wondering if you've seen the KZfaq channel, In Depth Music? Found them a couple of months back. They feature a lot of the more obscure music, primarily of the genres that you love. From the late 70s and 80s up to the present time. Much of it from overseas. I worked in record stores throughout the 80s and am discovering just how much music never made it to the American market. They have full albums, EP's and songs. They have become a great resource for me. Really looking forward to your best albums of the year video! Unexplored territory for me. Thanks as always and take it easy on that Jazz!

The wonderful lady is back in our living rooms. Carambolage was a band associated with "Ton, Steine, Scherben". Some members of Carambolage were in a relationship with the musicians from "Ton, Steine, Scherben". "Ton, Steine, Scherben" was a very interesting left-wing political band with one of the best German singer-songwriters of his time. His name was Rio Reiser. He wrote working class songs, love songs, great ballads or good pop music with intelligent lyrics (e.g. "König von Deutschland"). "The Chameleons" are a great band. Sometimes they remind me of Adrian Borland's "The Sound".

You gotta get the EPs by Ride. Those songs are incredible, especially Grasshopper. Unfortunately I bought the expanded editions on iTunes before I knew these 3 albums were being reissued. The band says these will be the definitive versions so I’ll probably break down soon. Merry Christmas!! PS-no Amanita :(

Hello again, Hanna! Don't forget Kim Simmonds, the man who started and stuck with Savoy Brown to the end, passed away on December 13th. ... I can't remember the last time I bought a vinyl reish (way too expensive) but I find and purchase many CD reissues out there in the wild because they are always cheap in price and usually have extra non-vinyl tracks. I haven't fallen into the jazz rabbit hole but do purchase artits such as Tomita & Kitaro to get me into what you call the "Zen" mode - I just recently found a near mint copy of the quad version of Tomita's "Snowflakes Are Dancing" classic at the local Goodwill for $2.99. I don't have a quad system or 4 speakers but the mixes are different and more vibrant than on my stereo copy! Speaking of Walmart (ugh!), the last "reish" I purchased came from there - The Beatles "White Album" Anniversary 4-LP box-set with the Esher demos for $49.97. Absolutely stunning! They had many other reissues but none were really that unusual or interesting for the prices wanted. ...Have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Ride . Going Blank Again . Great album

I'm a CD guy, but all those bands and albums are awesome and I love your vast and varied tastes.

Hello Again Hanna - Both Home from 1994 & Laugh from 1997 are excellent solo records from Terry Hall. His track with Tricky Poems in 1996 is really awesome as well from the Nearly God project. What a great talent he was. I really like both The Chameleons & Associates reissues. The track No on Sulk is an all time favorite of mine Billy with the gift of a golden voice. Enjoy The Big Express by XTC .. Wake Up is an epic opening track. See Ya in 2023 ✌️

Shoegaze is the area of my collection that watching your videos has most prompted me to delve into and reassess. By the end of the 80s I was more interested in Techno and House. Even though I bought plenty of Shoegaze records they didn`t get played much. Perhaps a surfeit of Indie guitar music over the previous decade had dulled the senses. New bands became an indistinguishable blur. In retrospect, things like the early Ride releases are far better than I realized at the time. On the subject of XTC - last heard Andy Partridge on a BBC Radio 4 doc about Judee Sill. He`s a huge fan.

I saw someone post on Facebook those Ride albums. I had to get "Nowhere" and "Going Blank Again" . They arrived from UK in perfect shape. I picked up a Slowdive reissue this year that was a few years old by now. If only Lush and Catherine Wheel would re-release stuff, I'd be in Shoegaze heaven. That Heartbreakers is a classic. I did not know it was repressed.

Hi Hanna! Tapete Records is a great Independent Label from Hamburg. Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Hanna🎉🎄🎶🎉🎄🎶🎉

You steal my heart with XTC and The Chameleons! My two favorite bands not named The Beatles. Also, your shout outs to Boston with The Lemonheads and Blake Babies (and your love of Ms. Hatfield). You would have loved the music scene here from the early 80's to mid 90's; bands like Dumptruck, Big Dipper, O Positive, Cavedogs, Tribe (I could go on and on ...). Unfortunetely I was too young to go see any of those bands but the local college stations were all over it. Happy Holidays, Hanna!

Hello Hanna, Great video! Happy New Year!

The adverts were on my list for the longest time so the double album that you presented caught my attention and I picked it up fantastic record, you're not kidding! Thanx Hannah

Awesome Hanna! That collection of yours is becoming legendary! Keep On Rockin! Martin Duffy also with Primal Scream and The Charlatans. Gone too soon. Merry Christmas Hanna.

Its xmas eve morning and I'm just started to watch you, and in heartfelt way you just made me cry when you mentioned the loss of Terry Hall.I lost my young brother not all that long ago, he was so young and he had Specials and Fun Boy Three records in the 80s , we shared a bedroom and loved music. Sending you Best Christmas wishes from me in the UK, and thankyou for all your so interesting videos, thankyou for being YOU. Merry Christmas

Great rundown! I stumbled upon the JH3 reissue and quickly ordered it. Can’t wait to check it out…one of my favorites from the 90’s (along with the Lemonheads). I also orderd a couple Trash Can Sinatras reissues that should be kn the way as well (so good). Here’s to hopefully a great 2023!

Good Morning Hanna 🌞 ! ( First To ✅️ In on a cold 🥶 Morning 🌄 ) Merry Christmas 🎅

I got all three variants of BWYR because, of course. That album was my first introduction to Juliana Hatfield as well. So excited for you to get your copy!

Merry Christmas, Hannah. Definitely more re-issues than new releases for me this year. That Ramones Box you have featured behind you certainly rates (I picked that one up this year too). 😊

Thumbs up for all the great albums you talked about

New to your Channel. Really love your shares. Gun Club and Chameleons are great. You are also turning me on to others such as Feelies which is much appreciated! Thanks so much!!!

Hey Hannah. Thanks for sharing. Being a Post-Punk tragic your Chameleons selection gets me very excited. Looking forward to your review of 2022.

Thanks.. never heard of The Chameleons and like what I'm hearing.. Merry Christmas Hanna!!!!

Wow, thanks for telling us about Carambolage. New Jersey based New Wave fanatic here who speaks German so that was an immediate purchase.

That Alice In Chains Dirt reissue is amazing. I have the MOV, and this one blows it out of the water. Great video Hanna.

Enjoyed the video 🎸✌️

Speaking on the jazz topic, I’ve also been enjoying records I hadn’t heard before. I think most people agree Bill Evans is an amazing musician. Cheers to 2023!🎉

Two great loses for sure! I love all things FELT and Terry. Two Terry Hall solo albums have been reissued on vinyl and are very well done. There is a Holiest of Grails from Terry Hall... All your picks are sensational (except for AIC) but that's just me. Love your stuff! (as always).

I didn't get many reissues this year, but two notable ones are. 1. David Sylvian - Blemish 2. David Bowie - Outside. Both are EXCELLENT! Good stuff Hanna, hope you have awesome holidays. Cheers, Frank

Hi Hanna,good afternoon,merry christmas for you,i really totally of your video,cheers,see you in 2023!!!!!!!

Hey Hanna! Always great to get a new video from you. Hopefully, you got to the post office and picked up the Overwhelming Colorfast CD I sent. If you did AND you dig it, they did just put it out on vinyl for BF/RSD '22. Looks like there are plenty of copies available on eBay if you're interested. Be good and take care...

Hey Hanna, What better way to get thru this current Blizzard, than to settle in and watch your new video. My Mind is blown. Lemonheads is an all timer. Even though I only have the original CD. May have to get this reissue. Blake Babies I have to find next year. And so many more you mentioned today. Wow. Of course in my mind, you saved the best for last with Ride. Great to see "Going Blank Again" on your wall as well. What an album that is. Been listening to it a ton in last few weeks. So many great songs. "Mouse Trap" really works for me. Come on viewers, how about a huge round of applause for the Omaha Introvert. If you're honest, No You Tube Vinyl collector had a better 2022 than Hanna. #1! Cant wait to experience more of her efforts in 2023. Mark in Michigan

Past Night From Glasgow also just reissued Joy Zipper - American Whip this year and it's brilliant. Also yeah the Ride stickers peel off SUPER easy. And I can see the Jon Brion up there which was also a reissue this year and one of my favorites ;)

Congratulations on the Skids, surprised not in you top 5 but some of the others I've heard of but haven't listed to. I'll definitely listen to Blake Babies, Material Issue and Ride. Still waiting to find Johnny Thunders LAMF out in the wild.. Some day. Another good video!

I could not believe I came across something by the Blake Babies on cd. Saw it, got it. I love 90s alt-rock music the best! Thanks!

Omg Juliana Hatfield

I did not know about the Juliana Hatfield Three re-issue, thank you for that! The Skids also a great find I did not know about either. Great list of reissues this year! There are a couple I would like to share with you as well. A local Minnesota punk band called The Soviettes reissued their 2003 debut, totally worth checking out. Some glorious synth pop from La Roux's 2009 debut. Dengue Fever Venus on Earth from 2008 and Mason Jennings 1998 self titles debut.

Hi Hanna, Jon Brion was in the Grays also and he worked with (and dated) Aimee Mann on her first couple of albums. 😀

Re: The Church. I'm a big fan in NH and I've seen them a few times, most memorable being 'The Past, Present and Future' tour. Blurred, Starfish and Preist in entirety. I have to mention El Momento Siguiente, an unplugged greatest hits album. It opens with the wonderful Triffids song 'Wide open Road.' It is breathtaking. Also a huge XTc fan. Thanks for your fine presentations.

Big Blake Babies "Sunburn" fan here. "I ain't no goddamned foster home." I like your Chameleons pick but "Strange Times" is my favorite. Thx Hanna

Its amazing the number of deaths this year. I just read, Nicky Tesco, D.H. Peligro, died. There are a bunch of them!! Great video BTW, thank you for sharing

Very cool that you have the Blue Velvet soundtrack! Sadly, Angelo Badalamenti also passed recently.

Some of the top ones I got this year. Heartbreakers LAMF found 77 masters Sex Pistols Nevermind Rock tower reissue The Who Half Speed Remasters from Abbey Road The Ramones 80s Boxset I checked out that Crossing the Red Sea with The Adverts album. Really good, added to my wishlist. You always have great recommendations. Thanks!

LAMF and It's a Shame were the ones i had to let pass me by. Didn't have enough money at the time. I'm looking forward to Become What You Are though i haven't seen any mentions here about it's releaseso i doubt it's going to be available here. There's been excellent reissues to me this year, but i think the top year for reissues was 2020. So many good records came out that year. Top 10 new releases of 2022? Off the top of my head, i can only think of 4 records i've bought. I need to check how many more there are since there probably is more. Merry Christmas Hanna! Pasi

Very cool video with some cool pickups. I picked up all of the Ride reissues, including: Nowhere, Going Blank Again & 4 EP'S. I previously owned copies of the original Creation Records pressings of Nowhere + the early EP'S (RIDE, Fall, Play & Today Forever). Sadly these got thrown out when CD's hit the market in the UK. I was a bit sad about that as they are worth a decent amount these days, but from what I've heard these pressings sound pretty faithful to the original presdings. The 4 EP'S is definitely worth getting as Ride did put it out an album called Smile, but that only collected selected tracks from the early EP'S, in comparison to this repressing that contains everything. 😀

I forgot how great The Lemonheads album was, one of the most impressive sounding reissues I got this year along with Six Pence None The Richer- This Beautiful Mess(2021 reissue). I just got the Juliana Hatfield Three(yellow vinyl) reissue yesterday and it sounds pretty good. The Alice In Chains reissues the last couple years have sounded amazing. Can't wait for Jar Of Flies to come out.

Very cool copy of L.A.M.F. Hanna. Great great LP! The Gun Club album is also so good. I agree with you, Miami is a fav of mine. All the records you show are very nice. That Alice In Chains is great. You mention your favorite song, mine is "Down In A Hole". I have a double CD Best Of and it DOES NOT have "Down In A Hole". I'm still stunned it is not on there 😊. And as we discussed once before, The Adverts Reissue is awesome. While I have the original, would not mind having the reissue as well. Happy Holidays and keep rockin'.

Thanks again for this great review Hannah. Hopefully not too cold there in Omaha🥶If I think of Omaha, I think of the snowy plains of the Coon bros movie Fargo, but I may be geographically incorrect. Or was it in the series Better call Saul? The Gun club is certainly among my old time favorites too. Have you tried Dead Moon yet? Although quite different sounding, they were kinda peers of the Gun Club among favorite underground artists in the Netherlands in the 1980s-90s. The whole XTC discography is Great to my ears. “Dear God” deserves new airplay in these times, or perhaps a revival like Kate Bush’s “Running up that hill”. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and great music filled 2023.🌟🎶

I recently got in an album from the UK, now album. Two songs were scuffed so it ticked on each rotation. They said no problem send it back and we will send another one. I just got in the next copy. The shrink wrap was so tight it gave the record a slight warp. It plays but so disappointed. I missed that Lemonheads reissue, I bought that when it came out, my favorite. RSD Heartbreaker album was great, fantastic sound. I got into Jazz when I was in my late 30s thanks to a jazz musician introducing me to Miles Davis. I was hooked. Merry Christmas Hanna. Still working on my ranking videos

I'm deeply sorry to hear about The passing of Terry Hall, singer of one of my favourite bands of all time...The Specials...and dies too my dream to hear them someday here in Brazil...

Hi! Two days ago I received the wonderful reissue of Juliana Hatfield Three "Become what you are" in that very nice sunburnt vinyl from American Laundromat Records! It was difficult to get the original LP here in Germany, so I was really happy when I read that it will be re-released. I prefer black vinyl, but this coloured vinyl sounds really great - better then the CD I bought in 1993. And let me tell you - you have a really good taste of music :-) Best regards from Germany to US!

Hi Hanna, I focussed in on the Skids, I also saw that reissue of The Associates Sulk. Party Fears Two was/is an incredible track for its time, but it always makes me think of the Cures 'Cut Here' and the story behind it. Absolutely love The Chameleons, had to pause your vid just to listen to Dalis picture but sad to see quality was an issue. For me it would have to be the The Chameleons every time, great vid Cheeeeers

Hey! That lemonheads is great! Just saw them here in Wash DC w juliana hatfield opening! They did full shame about ray and Juliana joined for 3 songs which, in my opinion, were the show’s highlight! Awesome stuff!

Excellent reissue of 2022 and two of my fave. Lemonheads and Blake Babies. :)

Hey, Hannah, the other label that Gun Club album was re issued on was BLIXA Records (it is a 2 album set, with a live second LP.) Great finds, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 😊!

Great video Hanna! I love Juliana Hatfield, The Blake Babies and thanks for reminding me of The Lemonheads - gotta have that one! Most of 2022 my limited income went overseas to ACE, GRAPEFRUIT & CHERRY RED reissues and compilations - what can I say - I love the British!🇬🇧So glad you're not falling down the JAZZ Rabbithole - I HATE JAZZ - I worked for Musicland Stores for 20 years (Sam Goody, FYE, Coconuts, Best Buy, Suncoast) and Jazz accounted for 2% of sales - that's why you're able to find STILL SEALED Jazz Vinyl at $100 or more!😤Merry Christmas to you & Chris my KZfaq Friends!❤🎄😄

Hello Hanna! So many great mentions.Sorry to hear o' Terry Hall's passin'...love Colourfields Thinkin' O' You 'n Pushin' Up Daisies. Need to explore me some Psychobilly Punk Blues now. Bought Heartbreakers LAMF as a new release. My nephew took me to a great Jon Brion concert in L.A. Love all aspects o' XTC includin' David Dreams-3rd Stone From The Sun (perhaps the best Hendrix cover ever!), 'n Dukes O' Stratosphear-My Love Explodes 'n Vanishin' Girl. P.S....Don't techno for an answer...

Hello there, Hanna! Sad to hear of the deaths of one of the guys from The Specials and Felt's Duffy. I have never heard the whole Lemonheads "It's A Shame About Ray" LP. I am going to listen to them today. Juliana Hatfield Three "Become What You Are" is a fantastic album and my fav of hers. I did not know it has been reissued. Not heard of The Skids before. On my list too, to listen to. Bill Evans is about the only jazz pianist I can listen to and I love jazz. Just not into too much piano. That Heartbreakers LP is fantastic. I love that song "Kim The Waitress." My favorite version is done by Sister Psychic. So catchy. Girl, that Alice In Chains...I had no idea you liked them. They're my favorite grunge band. I don't have any of their releases on vinyl. OMG "Mummer!" I do not have that on wax yet. My favorite off that LP is "Love On A Farmboy's Wages." I have XTC's "Wonderland" picture disc and the B side is "Toys." So good! Did you know back in the '90s that XTC had a newsletter, which I *think* was called "Chalkhills" or "Chalkhills And Children?" I had a few of those but do not know where they went. Nice you got Ride's "Nowhere." Is their name embossed on the cover? It looks like it but wasn't sure. Stay warm and Happy Holidays to you, Chris and your family! ~ Nicola

Bill Evans was a wonderfful pianist and that Acoustic Sounds audiophile reissue should sound excellent. The Heartbreakers album is terrific and Johnny was actually the sweetest guy, at least in the few times we talked together. I think the first two Gun Club albums are unique and excellent. Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts is a classic punk album from early 1978 that should be a lot better known. Only wish it had contained one of their greatest songs, Quick Step, the B side of their first 7" single One Chord Wonders in April 1977. Happy holidays, punky.

Hola Hanna! Awesome Récords. I like Sad Lovers & Giants, and Epic Garden Music is in my wishlist. Love The Chameleons, Script of the Bridge is my fav post punk álbum ever. Ride Nowhere is a masterpiece, In my wishlist too. I didnt know Juliana Hatfield, what álbum of her do you recommend me...? Siempre feliz de verte amiga, Felices Fiestas!,,,

Hello Hanna, the lemoheads are great, love their rock sound, yes sad for martin duffy and terry hall 😰😥😢glad is some reissue from your favorite female singer-the skids are great !!!! sad lovers and giants are a great band that i discover thanks to you !!!! wow carambolage is really a cool band , i will check for more of them !!! i don't know bill evans, my jazz liking goes more into jazz orchestra or singer !!!!! i also have the find mixes of "l.a.m.f" , i don't know now who's the best version from the heatbreakers-i must re listen to the first issue ,by the way fantastic rock album !!!! gun club , great band !!!! must also check the adverts and material issue -alice in chains great rock classic from the 90's !!!!! i old you i like xtc's singles not albums !!! chameleons are echo and the bunnymen's cousins -great sound!!! hope you will have great xmas dayx with Chris-till next time byyyye !!!!!

Great batch, I'm considering getting that Adverts, as it was a big favorite, if I can find a decent price. I haven't listened to Juliana Hatfield in 30 yrs, time to revisit! I had all the early stuff. L.A.M.F. original version has been reissued several times in the past couple decades, hard to keep track of all of 'em.

Lemonheads is a pretty release. Chris from Rekkid Talk also loves Juliana Hatfield - his favorite. He made me review one of her albums. Shame that Bill Evans was split. Jazz rabbit-hole - yep. Accurate. It’ll definitely happen when you’re older if you’re starting now. Inevitable!

hi hannah, great channel as always.you should definitely check out a band called half man half bisquit.they are awesome. merry xmas.

I discovered Last Night From Glasgow this year and picked up a few reissues from them. Along with The Skids, I also picked up the reissue of The Audience's first album. Look out for Skids "Days In Europa" getting a release from them next year and a brand new album from them. Would also suggest Goodbye Mr Mackenzie "Good Deeds and Dirty Rags" Shirley Manson's first band and also ex-Mackenzie members, The Filthy Tongues new album "In These Dark Places". I decided to get a subscription with LNFG for next year, great discounts and 6 albums in the deal.

L.A.M.F. was an instant classic. I had the original & loved it. I always thought the production was muddy, though, so I'll hold out hope that they've improved it.

I would have put LAMF on one. I own it since the 1977.

The Associates are the most underrated band of the 80s. All of Billy's music is magical and the stuff he does with his voice... even the most experienced vocalists would have trouble with :)

Yay! As promised, the video I have been waiting for. So happy you grabbed the Lemonheads and the Blake Babies ;) I figured you would be all over those...as well as the Juliana Hatfield three. Starting out with the brand new ones to me. I am not familiar with the Skids, Associates, Chameleons, or Crambolage at all. I guess if it's foreign, it's harder and harder to find unless you stumble upon it. My favorite punk album of the year is a German one. Okay...you told me about the Epic Garden Music from Juno and that's so disappointing. I am starting to notice their packaging is getting more and more flimsy. I am going to have to dig into Feeding the Flames. I love atmospheric music from the post punk era. I cried when you showed the seam split on the Bill Evans. I am okay with a small seam split, maybe an inch but one of that size scares me. I hope you got a good deal on it. You made me laugh on the Jazz rabbit hole as it is a huge rabbit hole. It was for me ;) I saw that Gun Club reissue just recently. I am pretty sure Juno had it featured a couple of months ago. Material Issue...now there is a group I haven't heard or seen anyone feature in the VC. Too cool to see them on vinyl. And Dirt...I played that CD to death in the 90's. It was my first AIC pick up and then I circled around to their previous two. Ride's Nowhere is a classic and it's another one I haven't seen on vinyl before. I figured the Lemonheads and Blake Babies would be in the top five. I will have to check out Crossing the Red Sea with Adverts if it was your number one.

Love the Lemonheads. My favorite song is from their Car Button Cloth album, the cover of Smudge's Outdoor Type. If you like German punk, definitely check out the early Nina Hagen Band. Their first two albums are great. Their first album has one of the best cover photos ever (in my opinion) and their cover of The Tubes White Punks on Dope translated into an cautionary tale about television is awesome. Whenever someone mentions early protopunk they definitely need to be included.

I am a casual fan of Terry Hall's work, but I was trying to get into The Specials as far back as the early 2000's as I was really heavily into ska music (still into it but not as much)... also checked out Fun Boy Three... liked their cover of "Our Lips Are Sealed" since he helped co-write that song. R.I.P. Terry

I had been looking for a OG of that Adverts album for years! When that reissue came out I said screw it and got it. Still looking for a OG

The Raveonettes - Whip It On/Chain Gang of Love the OG. Not sure if it counts as a reissue as only one side of it is a "pure" reissue - or if it's even available outside Denmark - but it's a goodie nonetheless. Otherwise I bought a lot of PJ Harvey reissues (and their companion demo LPs) - through 2020-2022. Well worth checking out. All of them. Also some nice Adrian Borland/the Sound "new" vinyl issues of previously unreleased or deleted CD-only stuff on the Sounds Haarlem label this last couple of years. Also not sure how much they count as reissues. Re- Ride - I had an original Creation copy I bought for 50p (less than a dollar) back in 1991 that I ended up selling a few years ago for a lot of money. It would have been a great instrumental LP but the singer's voice did my head in.

If you’re enjoying the associates try fourth drawer down, a compilation of their early singles, epic stuff,

Pat Paradise Rock Station likes this video! My son Noah just moved to Omaha and is looking for vinyl.

The Lemonheads... interesting alternative band... they are best known for their cover of "Mrs. Robinson" of which I remember hearing during Wayne's World 2. What fascinates me is about their lead singer, Evan Dando, who kinda co-write a song with Noel Gallagher (Formerly of Oasis) back in the day called "Purple Parallelogram" which would later be made into Oasis' "Roll With It" song.

How does that Skids re-issue sound? I have that on my list, very hopeful and excited!

Was very happy with the "Dirt" reissue. Hopefully we get tripod soon...maybe a couple years for the 30th. Fingers crossed.

🙌🎯🎼

The Chameleons reissue is remastered and a good reason to get it if you have the original Imaginary versions. It does sound better to my ears (and the cover art by Reg is fantastic). That Juliana Hatfield is KILLER dude! Have you discussed yet: BARK PSYCHOSIS?

In case you didn't know, Martin Duffy was also in Primal Scream. Buying LAMF is a nightmare, so many takes on the mix/mastering. Too bad there's not a definitively great mix, because the album is terrific.

Jazz is awesome and Bill Evans was a master of the craft. Careful though. The devil's jazz can overtake you and before you know it your shelves are sporting hard bop, free jazz, bossa nova, space jazz, smooth jazz, cool jazz, fusion and dixieland jazz. Anyway, I enjoyed the video (as usual) I always learn something new and that's a large part of what I'm looking for in VC videos. Thx!

Cheers Hannah, great big thanx for giving a shout out about Terry Hall, very unfortunate, cancer and depression got the best bof him. I strongly urge you to pick up the first two specials album great 2tone band brilliant! If you dig the specials then you'll like the Selector, Madness and English Beat. Based on all your videos, Ska Music would be more welcoming then Jazz... Ska Ska Ska Jamaican Ska !

Hannah, did you read about the 4 cd box of the full 4 shows Cheap Trick did during one weekend at the Whisky in 1977? Real Gone put it out a week ago and it's already sold out. Both reviews I read compared it to the Who's 'Live At Leeds.' That's how hard it apparently rocks. It's a co-release with the Epic/Legacy imprint, which makes me wonder why they only did 2000. UGH. Real Gone doesn't do represses and discogs has it for $200+ already. I get the whole 'limited edition' thing, but not when it's a band that has tons of fans all over the world and when it sounds like an important piece of awesome rock and roll.

if you dig the Associates and that falsetto thing you should probably check out Wild Beasts if you havent already. theyre a newer band but sadly no longer together. i just got my JH3 record earlier this week. i'm in MI. yours should be on your way i would imagine.

I don't claim to be a jazz head but there was a time from the late 90's to the early 2010's where I was listening to jazz on and off... mainly the kind of Sinatra-esque stuff and similar artists in the modern era doing that stuff. I've been to a jazz concert twice, and it was to see the same artist twice lol. I felt so out of place because I am a rock guy.

I’m not familiar with The Skidz. I talked about the Gun Club live at the Hacienda RSD releases on my last vinyl finds video. I highly recommend the live 83. The live 84 is not good and not worth picking up. The Wal Mart exclusives that I have picked up are all great audiophile quality. I recently picked up the Heartbreakers LAMF reissue. It is so much better than the original.

ride's vapour trail is probably the best song achievable

wow! didnt know they re issued the sad lovers. still got my OG,s there is also an EP by the essence which features a couple members.its ok.

Merry Christmas, Hanna (the budding jazz purist). That is some stack of goodies: Become What You Are (when it arrives), bought it in 1993, has since disappeared from my collection, boo; Skids ('Albert Tatlock!'), Carambolage (only stumbled upon them last year), Bill Evans, The Adverts, The Associates, The Chameleons (who played in my city earlier this month & I missed them), The Big Express (the last XTC LP that really does it for me; they lost their spikiness after that; love all the albums up to The Big Express except for Mummer which I've always had a visceral yuck-hate-it reaction to, songs, sleeve design, production, everything, yuck!) Keith Levene died? I missed that one. Cat kisses for Scamper! (not a Melt-Banana song title, though it could well be). Have a frohes Weihnachtsfest! (had to Google that). 😄

Your lighting issues may be due to auto white balance and auto exposure. Setting both to manual will keep everything looking consistant. I am currently going down the Jazz rabbit hole too. Monks self titled record, with April In Paris, is amazing.

Hello Hanna, just a heads up...being you like Ride...yes I saw you have Going Blank Again on your wall...they are doing a North American co-headlining tour in January with the Charlatans...and they are playing Nowhere in full...just saying...

Tapete is a great indie label. They put out most, if not all, of Monochrome Set's 6 or 7 albums since they reformed. The label doesn't have a US distributor, so it's unlikely to find any in the wild and they are also very expensive. If you pick up any of those Set albums, will you talk about them in a video? Also, I was wondering if you've heard the EP that A. Partridge and R. Hitchcock made? I didn't pick it up when it came out. Thanks for the video and stay warm! It is scary cold here in Lincoln.

Johnny was the best!

I just did a reissues video too!! These picks are awesome!

Your video reminded me of kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7R6ZKuArtqqnXU.html . I can see why I liked it, although those drums couldn't be anymore '90s if you wrapped them in a lumberjack plaid. Not that the Blake Babies weren't rollerblading towards that vintage '90s vibe also. I prefer the Going Blank Again to Nowhere (in fact, have barely heard it outside of "Vapour Trail"), but that vinyl is pretty damn gorgeous. Keeps coming up in the VC and I'm afraid I might buy it! Enjoy your New Year, and Happy 2023 to you. Enjoyed the vid!

i'm not a music and vinyl addict...just an addict. oh, by the way, on one of my playlists, you will find the best of juliana's 'rockers'; which are my favorites of her many moods.

Hello Hannah I have heard or own many of the records youre showing like Gun Club Skids, Associates but not Sad Lovers and Giants or was it Epic Garden? Peace on earth.....

The Adverts were a great band and i've had the pleasure to be in the company of Tim and Gaye several times.....great people. I played in a band who supported TV Smith and the Valentines (from Italy) a decade ago playing almost the entire 2 LP's.......they were amazing!
