Fascinating facts indeed....in Chris Blackwell's recent(ish) memoir, he talks quite a lot about Robert Palmer who was a regular Island recording artist long before he was famous. Blackwell claims that Palmer always had an astonishingly deep and wide taste in music and was often 'onto' things long before they broke through to the wider public.

Hi James! It did seem a remarkable choice. Husker Du were still pretty obscure outside U.S punk circles & that is one of their most tune-free tracks , it almost defies logic..but as you say it appears he was very open minded musically! 😊

You've brought the excitement back to the VC with these amazing facts! I had no idea there was a Ramones-Springsteen connection, or a Stone Roses-Gary Neville connection. And the most mind-blowing of all is Robert Palmer playing Husker Du! I went and checked the Johnny Marr book: he actually spells cemetery correctly in the book but it's misspelled on the album. But still, the song title has a spelling mistake, so he did misspell his own song by writing it correctly. "Have you heard it? There's no tunes" is the most amazing Beatles review I've read.

I love when VC videos are about more than the music. Great job on this one HP! I think it’s fair to say we can expand on the greatly loved and respected Norman Maslov saying. “ It’s about” SO MUCH MORE than just the music stupid” Nevertheless in the beginning and the end it all stems from the music. As far as Rob Walker’s statement goes I have to respectfully disagree with his assessment. I don’t believe live streams are killing the VC. That’s impossible! I for one rarely watch live streams for the simple reason that I’ve got far too many other interests in my life to dedicate time to 6 total strangers chatting with each other for 4 hours on average. I speak only for myself when I say I want to get in get out and learn something new and interesting from the videos I watch. If anything is killing the VC it’s channels that share the same records that every other channel is sharing and suck up more than 30 minutes of viewer time. Live streams will always have their audience. The rest of the VC content creators can sustain themselves. I know I will. Because in the end it’s about quality not quantity to me. Closely interacting with a few great VC members/friends is good enough for me. Nothing will ever kill off the VC. Thanks for sharing these informative tidbits of information about these great records. I’m a huge Johnny Marr fan! Peace, Harris.

Harris , If I ever hear mention of Ramones Rock n roll radio I have to depart the video and go n play it at full volume....ok back now. Your rendition of hungry heart is flawless, indistinguishable from a Springsteen demo. But did you know the original band name of the Smiths? The original had a WH in front of it, but that was dropped after Marr objected due to his cousin Menzies. Theses facts are great, I always suspected Husker Du ripped off Robert Palmer but could never prove it. Damm I now have to go n listen to Johnny and Mary in French!

Good evening Harris. I was wondering if you read any of the Moz bashing on Johnny? Supposedly Johnny has been bashing Moz for the last ten years or so. I cannot remember reading any negative. But I did see little blurbs about his old writing partner on different occasions. But nothing hurtful at all. I thought that Morrissey took it a little too far with his letter to Johnny. I love the pope of mope. But he has to remember. Without Johnny and Andy's brilliant chord constructions his lyrics would have been just words. Cemetery versus cemetrey? How could he possible spell that word wrong? A song that he wrote to boot. Those were some very intriguing enjoyable tidbits. How did you get the idea to do this one? Rob/Boston

I knew some of these, but The Clash trivia really surprised me as did the Robert Palmer thing. That is so weird! Tusk: ha ha 🙃

Hey Brian. TheClash got close with the single London Calling getting to 11 & Bankrobber 12..but they always refused to do Top Of The Pops which would always guarantee you more sales if you appeared on it. It was a moral stance..they then got a number one off the back of a Levi’s commercial..that seems like irony on a base level 😆

Before running out this morning, I saw you'd left a comment under my latest video. I've just cam back and written a reply, but your comment has disappeared. Don't know whether YT is playing silly buggers or not, but here's my reply.... Hi HP, Thanks for watching the videos and commenting here. You've a few years yet before you have to contemplate the transition! But I'm definitely done with the work. Not least because you get rusty, and I've gotten too rusty to wing it. I get your Sales psychology thing. In the last twenty years I must have trained Sales pros into the low thousands and have always loved working with them. As a breed, they're the most resilient and optimistic, and that 'living on the edge' mentality. And they have a lot more laughs than Procurement people - trust me, I know. As for your channel, I'm always watching whenever you put them out. That 'talking at a million miles an hour' delivery is great, and I love that you don't appear to give two hoots about what pressing that's involved. That, and the 12'"s are always fun. You've got some great stuff in your collection, and I can see by your choices you're a few years behind me (or is that ahead of me?). I'll soon be picking out my best from the 80s years, so our tastes should overlap quite a bit by then. Outstanding channel name, by the way. Keep posting!

Thanks David, YT keeps thinking I’m a robot ever since I left my email adress in someone’s comment, I’m messaging them about it now. Thanks for your kind comments, I’ve only learnt what the Deadwax is since watching The VC & didn’t realise there were multiple pressings, I thought each country got one pressing 😆 I finally burnt out on sales this year & have settled into EL/PL Insurance claims handling..which is sales in reverse! but you use the same techniques .& crucially not target driven! But claims handlers Definately have more fun than Underwriters..predictive analytics encourages a certain breed of individual! Thanks again, as you know a great comment really means a lot in the VC world 😊

Hey Shaun..yeah 😂 I think they were pretty open about that one? It does sound like someone’s birthday ugly in their guitar for show & tell..The chorus from ‘Made Of Stone’ borrows heavenly from Primal Screams greatest moment ‘Velocity Girl’ .That was spoken about quite a lot at the time in the music press, not sure if Primal Scream sued?

Did you know, survey says or a nod to decades of PsychoDyanamic Journals, only lobotomised sociopaths with a penchant for shiny track suits own a Stone Roses album! Have you read Bartmanski's - Vinyl, the best book to date I've encountered exploring why humans, or some humans, collect vinyl records.

The Robert Palmer Husker Du cover never has made any sense to me and I find it aggravating no one asked him about it before he died because when I'm on my death bed I'll still be wondering.

I agree. If it was Motorhead, Ramones, Sex Pistols you would kind of get it. But I used to wear Husker Du T-shirts in the late Eighties and even my friends who were music nuts had no idea who they were.

@@Harrispilton22 Even still, no one in the US knew who the Ramones or the Sex Pistols were in the late 80's. Not sure what it was like where you were, but it wasn't until after Nirvana where people actually took that music even remotely serious. It seems like Robert Palmer was a much cooler guy than I would have expected.

@@6AM_YT Maybye a bit different over here. The Sex Pistols were competing with Abba for number 1’s & The Ramones made Top Of The Pops twice. (In fact their appearance with ‘Dont Come Close’ was the first time I heard them) but Husker Do were pretty unknown until Sugar had a top ten album!

Thanks David, yeah I’m amazed that The White album was £3.65. On the basis that everyone earned less money (I don’t think my mums family would have had a car, TV or ever gone on holiday) I assumed it would be much less. Albums must have really been considered luxury items back in the sixties. Maybye that’s why the Charity shops are full of classical & easy listening instrumental, they were probably far cheaper I’m guessing? $5.00 dollars left for the weekend...not even you could have got in much trouble with that! 😆

Yes,Iwas watching the U.K. live stream on Thursday and Mike Vinyl Spiral noted that there were only 4 number one albums in the U.K. in 66. One was the Sound Of Music another was Rubber Soul that came out in 65, so people weren’t buying many albums!..& it does explain the quantities I find now of The Sound Of Music! @@VagueRANT100

What do you mean Johnny Marr spelled the song wrong in his memoir exactly? The song title ITSELF is spelled wrong intentionally , the song is "Cemetry Gates," so does Marr Spell it "Cemetery Gates" in his memoir, or???? You said he spelled it "rey"???? WTF? So they are both spelled wrong... maybe he forgot the correct way to misspell it. I think the reason for the initial misspelling is to make a play on words, and allude to "symmetry." Also works better as a lyric as opposed to singing "CEM-MET-TARY ...gates"
