Journey was unknown in Australia, a bit like Kansas. Australia followed English music in the 1980s, and out local bands tried to emulate them. US stuff (apart from the heavily promoted pop scene like MJ, Madonna etc) wasn't big here. What is interesting is the US (mostly) missed the ska movement of the late 70s / early 1980s but seemed to find it in the 1990s (Mighty Mighty Bosstones etc).

Great great great t-shirt Rick 😊 The Dingo ate my baby! Sorry, had to be said. Ah, one of relatively few Neil albums I don’t have. The first one. Nazareth was featured in my video about bands I have somehow never (knowingly) heard. That Nancy album cover. So iconic. But not enough to get a recurring role on Family Guy 😄 For a brief second I thought you had found that rarest of creature. A band from Colorado! Naming your band Mountain when you’re from Long Island? I feel violated 😫 Cool bunch of albums Rick. Thanks for the video.
@@mortenaastad796 LOL. I very nearly said that about the dingo. My Aussie accent needs work though. Hey, what about those guys in Asia? Not a single one looked even remotely Asian.
@@rickandrecords 😄 They found out that the word ASDA was allready a chain of stores and went with the safer word 😂

You had a nice day - that’s great. I don’t have B Brew but I want that on vinyl. You got a couple I’d buy! I love young girls?!?!
@@garagegeek4863 You could do a study on records from the 70s and 80s about songs that seem to condone statutory rape. It’s disturbing how many exist and yet very few seemed to care.
@@rickandrecords I’ve actually noted many already but not on video. And it’s not just in rock - it’s all over the place. Gigi won best picture and it’s about grooming! Soft rock 70s is bad though.
Man I love Bitches Brew too. Used to play a tape recording of it on my walkman walking around the city at night. Its so trippy and raw. Maybe his best album. Nice Mountain and Nazereth. Was a great Sunday over here too! Even visited the local beach. We needed a good day. Cheers man :)
@@LowNoiseJasonSkilz Cool. Glad your day was good and that you got a beach visit in. A beach would have made my wife a lot happier today. She wasn’t crazy about the steep trails we hiked yesterday, but at least she didn’t take it out on me. Lol
I definitely dig the Nazareth and Mountain Rick. Enjoy the week of spins my friend. Cheers bud! ✌️🍻🤘🎶🤘
@@twangersturntable You too! I’m going to have to be in a weird mood for those Nancy Sinatra records lol. Not exactly my thing.
Great pick ups and can't complain about the price 👌🐸
that airbourne album smokes, was on my top end list, and the skull cover is cool :)
10c CDs?!! That's unheard of 😮. The jewel cases alone will cost you 25c each new. Well done Rick 👍. Even if they don't work out you can use the jewel cases for upgrades.
@@3dimensionsofmusic3D I often buy CDs from that booth when I need better jewel cases for my collection.
hey rick. once upon a time is one of my favorite albums of all-time. nice to see it on your list.
@@STEVEHEROLD hey, thx for watching. That is an amazing album and it has held up over the years. Still sounds like a new release
Big haul! Cant pass up that price. Rik Emmet CD looks interesting. Nice LA Guns pick too.
@@LowNoiseJasonSkilz I don’t know how the seller makes any money, but it works for me.
@@rickandrecords yeah he should just make it 'by donation / pay what you can'. He would probably get more than 10 cents a CD
Great idea. I’m looking for threads, so I’ll have to jump on.
@@garagegeek4863 This was harder to do than I thought it would be, but it was fun figuring out.
@@rickandrecordstotally easy for me. However, I’ll have to chest. Most of my foreign artists are on cassette or cd.
Awesome video
@@theflipside-vinylcommunity thx.
People who didn’t grow up with records don’t understand the thrill of the tactile experience of a record. In pre-internet days I only got to hear about contemporary musicians from the record notes, radio and maybe the odd magazine article (I couldn’t afford teen magazines or music magazines). My friends and I used to always play records on rainy afternoons.
@@andersdottir1111 on a few occasions when a girlfriend might be over or friends or even family way back record playing evolved into spontaneous acts of dancing. I also use it to workout to. It moves you and with records you get that little breather when you have to flip the record…another experience that most of us don’t mind.
Tell it like it is! It’s a hobby. Neighborhoods sounds like fun. I’ll try it. It’s fun. I think I’d like this after a few listens. I had Live at Last as a kid but hated it. I wonder why? I liked Sabbath in general. I don’t think you actually listen to these - it’s all posing. You’ll make 400 subs soon. Let’s get the word out.
@@garagegeek4863 The records aren’t even real it’s just a background filter I found on recordposer.com
@@rickandrecordslol. I clicked it to see if it was actually real! 😂
Happy 4th 💥. Rick. I have several of Wakeman's solo work. He definitely had some unusual concepts for his albums.
He sure did. His The Red Planet album is my favorite. Have a good 4th!
Hi, this would be my top 10: Prefab Sprout Swoon/Steve McQueen( two wheels good), Simple Minds NGD, Big Country The Crossing, U2 War/ Joshua Tree, R.E.M Murmur/ Fables of the Reconstruction, Tears for Fears the hurting/ songs from big chair
Great list. U2 was huge, I know, but I just did not like them at the time. I am a much bigger fan now. Big Country was awesome and of course REM. They would make my list if I had to redo it. Thx for commenting. Good stuff!
It is getting much harder to find anything half decent at a good price. A lot of the stuff i'm now getting is on C.D. Also faults with vinyl annoy me, and arriving damaged. Good luck hunting for bargains Rick.
I ordered a record a month or so ago. Double LP. Sides 1, 2, 3 were fine. Side 4 sounded completely warped even though the record was pancake flat. Definitely a bad press. Another new record came in shrink but the vinyl was covered in dust and the edges were poorly cut with bits of jagged vinyl hanging off. Like you said…it’s annoying…we’re not getting our money’s worth.
Nice picks, no complaints on any of those. I would definitely put Simple Minds, Bruce,Michael Jackson and A-HA on my list.
I think I should maybe have added Scandal or maybe even Sting. Or maybe I should have made it a too 20 list instead of just 10. Oh well. Thx for watching.
Journey was unknown in Australia, a bit like Kansas. Australia followed English music in the 1980s, and out local bands tried to emulate them. US stuff (apart from the heavily promoted pop scene like MJ, Madonna etc) wasn't big here. What is interesting is the US (mostly) missed the ska movement of the late 70s / early 1980s but seemed to find it in the 1990s (Mighty Mighty Bosstones etc).
Ah…ska…it had a very short US lifespan; About a tenth as long as grunge which also wasn’t around terribly long. Weird how a band like Journey was huge in Japan in the early 80’s, but missed Australia.
I forgot to shout out Tragically Hip and Travis Tritt as well. Happy Hunting to you too!
Both great…and extra great at a buck each.
Wait, doggie, daddy’s busy being a nerd!!! (I write that with love!!). I just went to an antique mall and the beat up albums were so expensive. I’m glad you were able to find some CD deals. Pillar has a nice cover.
I swear the used record selection out there is getting more and more beat up…of course I’m looking more and more beat up too.
@@rickandrecordsI was beat up a few years ago. Honestly, you’re looking great. There are deals out there. We just gotta dig!!!! But I’m not great oat using the back to bend down to get to those out of the way bins.
I know what you mean about stores and vendors charging crazy prices for albums and cds , even the thrift stores are getting ridiculous! I took a look at my record collection recently, and it occurred to me my vinyl collection was mostly thrift. I mean hendrix, Zeppelin, journey, even the Beatles! Now a days, all you get are instrumentals, foreign language, and Christian, and they hoard the good stuff for the showcase! And ask between 10 and 25 dollars per piece! OK, enough rant. Now to the finds. "Demons" is a song you'd know from Imagine Dragons. "King of New Orleans " is the one you'd know from Better Than Ezra.
Ah. Now that you mention those songs they are ringing a bell
i have the a-ha and the simple minds album, i used to have the Michael Jackson,Thriller album,, all good ones.
I forgot to put Scandals The Warrior on the list. I played that a lot back then .
You can get cds on the second hand market for insane prices. Recently i purchased 350 cds for 80 euros, all excellent titles and near mint quality. But even buying new cds is worth it. I bought 17 new cds for 50 euros in the record shop two weeks ago during a mayor sale. I don’t see that happening with new vinyl records, maybe 10 euros per piece lowest, if you’re lucky.
There is an antique mall nearby where you can get some obscure CDs at 10 for one dollar US and I found some great music picking up Al in’s I never heard of there. The pricing on vinyl is getting out of control and on used vinyl the condition seems to be getting worse.
Seasons End, so awesome. One of the great albums.
I’ve got nothing but love for all things Marillion.
@@rickandrecords absolutely, it all started with Misplaced Childhood for me, I could go on and on.
The Simple Minds 'Once upon a Time' album, song for song is one the best albums ever made imho, pop or no pop .
I agree. Great album, great band and many great memories associated with that album for me.
@@rickandrecords agreed, the memories are what make the albums so great and they just seem to get more special over time.
I've been getting more stuff on CDs lately too because at 1 or 2 bucks a piece it's a good deal. I invested in a quality separate DAC that added more to my listening enjoyment. Greg
I have heard a lot about out rising CD prices, but I really haven’t experienced that much. For the most part CDs at de one hand shops have been fairly cheap.
I love Sweet Old World - I think that’s Lucinda W. I know she sang Car Wheels on a Gravel Road which is also a great song. You are the CD doctor. That Saxon has a fun cover - I won’t say it’s great art but I’d buy it. I predict that I won’t win. I just have a feeling. lol. Fun video.
That Saxon cover looks a little like He-Man.
@@rickandrecords hey, that’s true.
Cheap trick, Journey and Billy Joel might have been big in the US but i wouldn’t call them essential 80’s artists for a world wide audience. I’m missing Tears for fears, U2, Depeche mode, Wham, Duran duran and Dire straits in your list. If you just look at the massive world wide stadium tours they did in the 80’s, you will have to admit their were more than popular.
As an American who was brought up with the second British Invasion in the 80s I completely agree with you. I would also add Human League, Thompson Twins, Ultravox, OMD, Culture Club to the ones you listed. I was a huge Duran Duran fan and loved Depeche Mode right from the debut album “Speak & Spell”.
I know you’re gonna make some bold statements. Book and Record set - nice! Surprised you didn’t choose Glass Houses - that was sooo popular and all over the radio. Be nice to Madonna or I’ll send my hubby….i guessed the number one. Fun fun video.
I should have put in Scandal instead of AHA. Oh well…the world will keep spinning I suppose
I was in an antique mall and I thought about you and Chris at Rekkid Talk.
awesome contest!
Wow. You pulled two and they weren’t winners!!!! They will be 😡!
Just showing that the names were in there. In keeping things record oriented the horrible brown paper I wrote the names on is Amazon packing paper they use for shipping records among other things.
