Totally with you on Ken Booth. I’ve loved his voice ever since I heard Everything I Own on the radio as a kid. Those reggae 7’s are real find and in those great 70s cardboard sleeves from (I think) Boots. Definitely worth your while getting up early that morning! Cheers John.

I was pleased to see you holding up "Strutter" John. Boy. Tim Booth is one of my faves from the late 80's and 90's. Two of my all time favorite bands in the same Car Boot Sale. You cannot go wrong with Hollow and Graffiti. Its funny how serious people get when anyone talks about Zeppelin in a not so positive way. {smile} I never took it personal when someone said anything negative about the Blimp, The Smiths or even the Beach Boys. I laughed at some of the comments below. Especially BruceVinyl3504. I got to see Zeppelin three times in 1977. Jimmy's performances were not always on the money. But when he was on he was unbeatable. All three of the NY shows were great. One of the things that I remember most about the shows was the overall sound. I sat way up in the greens for the first night. Lower arena the second night and twenty rows from the stage for the third night. They were incredibly loud but the sound was impeccably clear. No matter where we sat we could hear each one of them perfectly. Including Robert's vocals. Their PA system was one of the best in the business. I hope that they start to have some Car Boot Sales over here. Enjoy Graffiti, Hollow & Strutter. Three excellent albums~ Rob/Boston

Wave Length was the last Van Morrison album that I bought. It was okay and it is long gone. Candy is a cool soundtrack. Hatful Of Hallow is a great album. 60 Reggae singles is a huge haul.

Good stuff John. That Moog Indigo record sounds fab. I agree that Page's guitar solos are messy (though I like them that way!) and I've often wondered if that was deliberate. He was clearly very accomplished so I'm inclined to think so.

Hi James. You have a point. Page was a great guitarist. The sloppiness of some of his solos must’ve been by design. It’s something that’s always bugged me though.
@jamesgriffithsmusic
Ай бұрын
@@6inchpianist In a way he was a bit punk! Another thing about his playing is that because it's messy it's quite easy for aspiring young 'shredders' to imitate him, which in turn casts a bit of a pall over that style in general. I always thought Ritchie Blackmore was a sort of 'tidied-up' version of Page.

Enjoying your videos John. Nice pick-ups. I'm not a fan of Led Zeppelin. They've never done it for me. I recognised the song you did a needle drop from the moog LP. I think it was used in an advert in the 90s for something (for orange juice? not so sure) but not the version you played. Some great bargains on the Reggae singles. Cheers.

I’m the opposite. I can’t stand Robert plant’s vocals, but like Jimmy Page’s guitar. I was watching the last Brum Reseelar vid...ne hit a rich seam of classic rock at the car boot, but the bloke selling made it tricky as they weren’t priced so he was randomly calling out prices. It was interesting. I’ve got EVA on 12”. It’s on the flip of the Fatboy Slim remix. ‘Just To Get A Rep’ is an absolute classic by Gangstarr.

Hi Harris. I saw Brum Resellers video. He got some good stuff. I was at the same car boot. I had a bunch of stuff, including the copy of Hatfull Of Hollow, for between 2 and 4 quid. I’ll show some of the other bits in another video. John got a couple of nice AC/DC albums in that classic rock pile that’re worth a few quid. I like watching his videos because I get to see the stuff that I missed out on! I don’t know that Fatboy remix 12”. I’ll look that up. Cheers!

Hi David. Presence and in Through The Outdoor have their moments but the band were pretty much done by then, as you say. I’ve always had a soft spot for Robert’s vocals though.
