Girl Band ‘Amygdala’ (Rough Trade, 2020) Warning: “Do not play over the holes on the record, it will most likely break your needle.” The disc is designed as a thaumatrope - a 19th-century optical toy consisting of a disc with different, but related, images on each side. Early thaumatropes would often have an image of a bird on one side and a cage on the other, when spun the bird appeared to be trapped in the cage. When Girl Band’s 7” is spun the vintage motorbikes appear to ride inside the cage globe. Limited to 500 copies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/ebc9b23a-775b-4c4a-88e1-01318e5ede51/combine_images+%2811%29.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/bdcb46fe-c9f9-4710-8cb6-d024d796d650/R-8394793-1460787559-4065.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - 09. Public Service Broadcasting ‘The Other Side’ (Test Card, 2016) ‘The Other Side’ (taken from PSB’s superlative The Race For Space) was issued in a Limited Edition of 2,000 for Record Store Day 2016. It just missed out on making my Record Store Day - A Top 10 list. It’s backed with a Datassette Remix of the title track. The song is inspired by 1968’s Apollo 8 mission, the first human orbit of the moon (in other words: the first humans to see the far side of the moon). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/f510e115-e52e-45c3-bb90-cd17aeace87f/combine_images+%2814%29.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/87856a8c-9269-45b9-a069-bbc408b9c3e4/NASA-Apollo8-Dec24-Earthrise.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - Make it stand out Earthrise.

Babybird ‘If You’ll Be Mine’ (Echo, 1998) The brilliant Ugly Beautiful gave us the hit ‘You’re Gorgeous’ (No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart in October 1996) but the next album There’s Something Going On, for my money, was even better. It had the single ‘Bad Old Man’ and this absolute classic, ‘If You’ll Be Mine’. There’s Something Going On was the seventh Babybird album and since then Stephen Jones has released over 20 more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/af87a10e-9fa8-46d1-81b8-ed3e1d500e4a/20260205_134645.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/0abc1396-13e6-474b-9de2-9f5d2c5b3a2e/R-1756860-1241887547.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - 07. Lily Allen ‘Not Fair’ (Regel, 2009) Some commentators seemed quite shocked by Lily Allen’s forthright lyrical content on her recent album West End Girl. Allen’s always written brilliantly confessional pop songs. ‘Not Fair’ is one of her best. Love it. The music video parodies a guest appearance on The Porter Wagoner Show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/81f6fd40-d0fb-4633-b624-339cdc9e124b/combine_images+%2815%29.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/febfef4e-7647-4348-b9a0-81a71e6d4592/R-2033827-1596370316-1345.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - 06.

Men Without Hats ‘The Safety Dance’ (Demon, 2013) ‘The Safety Dance’ featured on Now That’s What I Call Music in 1983, the first volume of the long-running compilation series. ‘The Safety Dance’ was the second track on Side 2, nestled between Culture Club’s ‘Karma Chameleon’ and Kajagoogoo’s ‘Too Shy’. The tracklisting is still seared into my memory and I could easily rattle off the rest of the songs on Side 2 in sequence if my life depended on it (I’ve no idea how such a skill might ever be needed, but it’s my “get out of jail card” if needed). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/f03a71da-ec2f-4877-b777-3996ca5c3bf7/20260205_134158.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/61de82e1-30ed-4766-bf68-4fb28073737f/20260208_165351.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - Make it stand out Rhythm of Youth (LP, Statik, 1982) & ‘The Safety Dance’ Extended Club Mix (12”, Statik, 1982) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/46c326fb-ee0f-4004-8913-6c82016ddbea/Safety.JPG All Posts - Top 10 Picture Disc 7”s and the history of the format - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/blog/top-20-most-valuable-vinyl-lps monthly 0.5 2026-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/a57397f4-1ef8-4280-a230-8fb1db180fec/combine_images+%288%29.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs: No.’s 20-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/13eda582-5f9b-4902-8303-e86094392d1f/Spiders.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/274bb09e-7e7a-4153-808b-1b3bc1804a24/20260202_155634.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 20. Acetone Cindy (Vernon Yard/Hut Recordings, 1993) €137.00 An original of the LA band’s debut album is still hugely sought after despite New West’s 2xLP reissue in 2023. The band’s Richie Lee (bass guitar, vocals) took his own life in 2001, aged just 34. “A band that at their best can match Big Star, Yo La Tengo, Low and other outfits whose legacies feel enshrined in the history of alternative music,” wrote Daniel Dylan Wray in Uncut magazine about the band’s I’m Still Waiting boxset. He continued, “Perhaps now Acetone can finally join them.” Cindy is a great album. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/3b003599-320f-465c-b851-5862be3e9e0a/Oasis%21+NME%2C+4+December+1993.jfif All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out 3 of the bands on this list toured together in Dec 1993.

Morrissey Maladjusted (Mercury, 1997) €139.00 The first of six appearances by Morrissey in my list. His last album of the 1990s and the third of three albums in a row that were produced by Steve Lillywhite. Maladjusted was maligned upon release and it would be seven years before Morrissey’s next album, You Are the Quarry. Two singles were released from Maladjusted - ‘Roy’s Keen’ and ‘Satan Rejected My Soul’ - and the 12”s of both are also worth a fortune. I never liked the cover of Maladjusted and even though I hate when artists tamper with artwork for reissues I reckon Morrissey got it right for the 2009 Polydor/Universal release. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/eb6fd37b-a586-4bb6-9f64-b4d8f68e573c/20260202_160213.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 18. The Verve A Northern Soul (Hut Recordings, 1995) €140.00 It’s hard to take a nice photo of the mirror sleeve. This 2xLP Black Vinyl first edition is actually in VG+/VG+ condition. A real favourite of mine, I think it’s the band’s masterpiece. A glorious album from start to finish. I worked at Féile 1995 in Cork and I still recall the reaction of fans (most of whom seemed to be from Northern Ireland) in the campsite when news broke that The Verve had cancelled their Leeside appearance. People were genuinely devastated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/02c9fe4a-e778-44e9-a988-a1315a7fb152/newalbums1.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/f76a87f6-7f9d-4093-bc78-bcdc1f342253/20260202_155216.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 17. Nirvana MTV Unplugged in New York (Geffen Records, 1994) €144.00 The first of two Nirvana appearances on my list (Nevermind doesn’t make this list - it’s not worth as much, presumably because it sold a hell of a lot more copies). This is the white vinyl version of MTV Unplugged in New York. Two of my favourite moments on the record are the cover versions of The Vaselines’ ‘Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam’ and Bowie’s ‘The Man Who Sold the World’. The mohair jumper worn by Cobain on the MTV performance was actually owned by the Bunnymen’s Will Sergeant and had been pinched by Courtney Love during her stay in Liverpool in the early 80s. Sergeant tells the story here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/ff76a188-9c25-42de-97f9-f080d3f14cfd/20260202_160427.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 16. Massive Attack Mezzanine (Circa/Virgin, 1998) €147.00 Protection is probably my favourite Massive attack album but Mezzanine (2xLP Black Vinyl) appeared four years later and was presumably pressed in fewer numbers. Its scarcity fuelling its high value. Mezzanine contains the incredible ‘Teardrop’ with Elizabeth Fraser on vocals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/3a8398d1-663c-4183-af47-a38f1f69e410/20260202_160512.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 15. Michael O’Shea Michael O’Shea (Dome, 1982) €156.00 I picked up my copy of Michael O’Shea’s self-titled album for around €40 online in 2017 when I was researching his life. All that has happened since AllChival’s reissues is that the value of O’Shea’s album has gone up and up. My documentary No Journeys End - the story of Michael O’Shea tells O’Shea’s incredible story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/b71a4cfa-a6a7-47e3-bb4f-b1ccc49a6f93/20260202_160616.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 14. Various Artists Lost in Translation (OST) (Emperor Norton, 2004) €160.00 I picked this up at a record fair in the late 00s for around €20. I think I did well. I assume it’s the Kevin Shields music on the record that has resulted in its value rising year on year since. Twenty plus years later, the soundtrack stands up far better than the movie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1102a6da-fcd6-46a4-ad39-8ebbbf797f95/20260202_155157.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 13. Nirvana In Utero (Geffen Records, 1993) €162.00 My favourite Nirvana album. Probably the best record of the whole grunge era. I’ve written previously (Sonic Youth and Nirvana - Sir Henrys 1991) about Nirvana and their infamous 1991 gig in Sir Henry’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/58fdc874-ab43-4448-a9e8-aa186920f4c0/20260202_155803.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 12. My Bloody Valentine Loveless (Creation Records, 1991) €167.00 Bought the year of release. Adverts in the music press at the time declared: “They invented it. All you have to do is listen to it.” “We’ve still listening to it,” I wrote in my November 2025 review of the band’s Dublin gig for the Irish Examiner. I continued, “And judging by the huge cohort of young people at last night’s 3Arena gig a sizeable portion of the band’s fanbase weren’t even born when the record was released. The streaming algorithms that push dream-pop playlists have sent millennials back to find the origin of the species. Amen.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/cb743aeb-472e-4dd9-87a0-4cb69efab33f/Loveless+advert.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/358401af-f6ce-46a6-b9e0-506851326595/20260202_155437.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 11. The Sundays Blind (Parlophone, 1992) €168.00 I’ve written before (David Ackles - American Gothic) about the bargains I used to find for a few years (roughly between 2011-2014) at the weekend Dublin Flea outdoor market at Newmarket Square off Cork Street in Dublin 8. Well, I found this beauty in a €5 crate. The sleeve has a few marks around the edges but the vinyl and inner are minty clean. The second Sundays’ album for a fiver - a bargain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/3e1aa6d2-2a09-401f-b137-968cfdc76505/combine_images+%289%29.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs: No.’s 10-1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/a713d970-11a2-4fae-87e8-f62e541d92f9/20260202_155000.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 10. Morrissey Beethoven Was Deaf (His Master’s Voice, 1993) €170.00 The first of two Moz live albums on this list. Beethoven Was Deaf was recorded in London and Paris on 20 and 22 of December 1992 on the Your Arsenal tour. I had attended the Boston gig in Brandeis University a few months earlier and it was incredibly exciting to get an official live release of the tour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/5c4bfd9e-24e2-404c-b30d-64a9f6b82080/Morrissey+live+album+NME%2C+15+May+1993.jfif All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out NME scan from Nothingelseon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/87436797-d0cb-4b73-80b5-4d8189c05a53/20260202_154935.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 09. Morrissey Ringleader of the Tormentors (Attack, 2006) €177.00 The second album for Sanctuary/Attack. This is the album that was produced by Tony Visconti and recorded in Rome. Ennio Morricone arranged strings for ‘Dear God Please Help Me’. A lavish design and one of my favourite Moz albums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/bcf91675-824a-432c-83a9-6f4c6c92994a/RIng.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d0a01ad4-08c3-40f4-b13e-e4abec79b47e/20260202_160324.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 08. The The Dusk (Epic, 1993) €198.00 The fourth album (not counting 1981’s Burning Blue Soul) from The The. Dusk followed Soul Mining (1983), Infected (1986) and Mind Bomb (1989). I return to these records regularly and could never pick a favourite. I bought Dusk and its singles (‘Dogs of Lust’, ‘Love is Stranger Than Death’ and ‘Slow Emotional Replay’) in Comet Records in Cork (most of this list was purchased in Comet). I had worked my way back and purchased the first three albums after their release. Dusk was the first The The album I purchased upon its release. I can still recall being really excited walking out of Comet with my LP. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/dc03d134-04c2-4571-b6d4-680bbccd767c/Dusk%21+NME%2C+30+January+1993..jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out NME scan from Nothingelseon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/6708be43-039c-4d4f-97b5-53bbc25e48e6/20260202_155540.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 07. The God Machine Scenes From the Second Storey (Fiction, 1993) €230.00 The God Machine are the least familiar name on this list. The debut album from the San Diego band is a dark, brooding, claustrophobic 78-minute record pressed across two LPs. Its dense, noisy and powerfully emotional. Bass player Jimmy Fernandez passed away in 1994 after suffering a brain tumour. The band’s second album One Last Laugh in a Place of Dying (another phenomenal record) came out a few months later and the band called it a day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/8a1ed7ed-32d1-4f01-9c93-1832649dd1fc/20260202_155108.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 06. Oasis (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (Creation Records, 1995) €231.00 The second Oasis album. Everytime I walk down London’s Berwick Street on my way to visit Reckless Records I do a little Liam swagger in honour of this cover photograph. I’ve written previously (Oasis - Knebworth setlist) about how Noel’s Knebworth setlist ended up in my possession. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1723284047522-VVQZ0QGY44LVAV8QXBXH/EUygMnmWoAA84Y_.jfif All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Photograph by Paul McDermott https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/15fffbee-506e-4b21-8769-08051af94e08/20260202_155949.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 05. Hope Sandoval & the Warm inventions Bavarian Fruit Bread (Rough Trade, 2001) €250.00 Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star and Colm Ó Cíosóig of My Bloody Valentine team up for Bavarian Fruit Bread. I file my records alphabetically, if I chose to file them by mood then I would without hesitation put this record alongside albums by Talk Talk, The Blue Nile, Dakota Suite, and Midnight Choir. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/3247272c-139e-4099-b9c3-0ce26bad29d1/20260202_155045.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 04. Oasis Definitely Maybe (Creation Records, 1994) €254.00 2024 reissues will set you back about €80 but an original Creation Records 2xLP pressing of Oasis’ debut goes for over €250. I haven’t played this in over 25 years. I loved it when it came out and also bought the first half-dozen singles as they were released. I had no interest in seeing them live in 2025 but the dynamic ticket pricing was insane and soured the whole thing for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/2b96ee8b-b80d-4644-a42c-e33ce1435e14/Oasis-16th-april-1994.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/8e49a65e-d8f1-45a3-a00e-cda0438b52b8/20260202_154836.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 03. Morrissey Southpaw Grammar (RCA Victor, 1995) €255.00 The hype sticker states “Includes Limited Edition Booklet”. The 8-page booklet is 12 x 12” and printed on card. On its original release Southpaw Grammar divided opinions (mine too). But its probably one of my favourite Moz LPs of the 90s. It featured boxer Kenny Lane on the cover (the first Moz LP to not feature his own mug) and ‘The Boy Racer’ and ‘Dagenham Dave’ were released as singles. Everett True in Melody Maker wrote: “Neither his best, nor worst. Flashes of the odd Mozzer brilliance, flashes of the old irritating, unedited Mozzer.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/8215d121-bc73-4f38-92c1-07e7ca1c04e9/New+Morrissey%21+Melody+Maker%2C+2+September+1995..jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - Make it stand out Melody Maker scan from Nothingelseon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d78b0c54-abba-4e32-a8b9-dae7a8dca263/20260202_154904.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 02. Morrissey You Are the Quarry (Attack, 2004) €295.00 There’s a simple reason why You Are the Quarry makes No. 2 on this list - it was a numbered limited vinyl pressing of 5,000 copies (mine is No. 3046). You Are the Quarry was released in a gatefold sleeve with a yellow inner sleeve. This was the comeback, his first album sine 1997’s Maladjusted. It gave us two brilliant singles - ‘Irish Blood, English Heart’ and ‘First of the Gang To Die’ - and two OK-ish singles - ‘I Have Forgiven Jesus’ and ‘Let Me Kiss You’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/f1a834fe-42e2-4ee3-84d3-14bba270a59a/20260202_154807.jpg All Posts - Top 20 Most Valuable Vinyl LPs - 01. Morrissey Live at Earls Court (Attack, 2006) €350.00 And coming in at No. 1 the second live Morrissey album on this list. The CD came out in 2005 but the double LP followed a year later. The back sleeve says: “Recorded live at Earls Court in London on the 18th of December 2004 in front of 17,183 people”. It’s got a number of typographical errors in the tracklisting but otherwise a beautiful package. https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/blog/songs-to-learn-and-sing-volume-3 monthly 0.5 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/44be817a-1e2d-4320-b10c-4b1f725892bf/20260119_131532.jpg All Posts - Songs to Learn and Sing: Volume 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/8a461fac-2656-4ed4-bd4b-dd812af96c06/combine_images+%287%29.jpg All Posts - Songs to Learn and Sing: Volume 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/blog/meat-loaf-power-rangers-pearl-jam-and-the-green-glens-arena-millstreet monthly 0.5 2026-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/f1e55c53-434c-48d8-8b90-8b645fcb0c1d/s-l1600+%281%29.jpg All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Meat Loaf - Born to Rock World Tour 1996 (image from the Born to Rock tour programme). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/4cd404f2-9f21-4862-a661-117bcf1b691f/1979-01-27+RW-1979-01-27+Meat+Loaf.jpg All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Bat Out of Hell press advert (Record World - 27 January 1979). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d40669e2-0808-4009-95a6-5615e05f88bc/1990-05-26+Irish+Examiner+1841-current%2C+Saturday%2C+May+26%2C+1990+-+Page+37.png All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Irish Examiner (26 May, 1990). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/2b07462c-257d-4d5b-aefa-8803f4e03dae/1990-05-30+Evening+Press+1974+-+1995+%28Many+Gaps%29%2C+Wednesday%2C+May+30%2C+1990+-+Page+14.png All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Evening Press (30 May, 1990). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/2229df06-21b6-4dce-a891-b9ef558f022d/s-l1600.jpg All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Bat Out of Hell II press advert (Billboard - March 1994). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/18b8a7a4-a83a-47f8-848c-7b46985d22be/1995-09-18+Evening+Echo+1896-current%2C+Monday%2C+September+18%2C+1995+-+Page+3.png All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Evening Echo (18 September, 1995). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/31581593-794f-491a-a496-c65ab98572b0/MMPR_Live.jpg All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Power Rangers Live 1995. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/5a8f360f-6c9e-4c7d-9881-8f33e38da602/1996-07-12+Munster+Express+1860-current%2C+Friday%2C+July+12%2C+1996+-+Page+24.png All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Press advert for the Millstreet Music Fair 1996. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/82a7edbb-f5d7-4031-9c59-426f82d9d063/1996-10-18+Irish+Examiner+1841-current%2C+Friday%2C+October+18%2C+1996+-+Page+48.png All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Irish Examiner (18 October, 1996). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/c0a4e2c8-3868-4ea2-943c-2f7bdd5fcb8b/s-l1600+%282%29.jpg All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Meat Loaf (photograph taken from the Born to Rock tour programme). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/0e8c3f07-d1c8-4d1c-9704-945e4866bf10/Bat.jpg All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Meat Loaf’s giant inflatable bat (photograph taken from the Born to Rock tour programme). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/237a26c3-019c-4729-b918-12abf97fabbc/20251230_140832.jpg All Posts - Meat Loaf, an inflatable bat, Power Rangers, Pearl Jam, Van the Man, and the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet - Make it stand out Bat Out of Hell original cassette.

Adrian Crowley Measure of Joy (Valley of Eyes Records) Measure of Joy is album No. 10 from Crowley (not counting albums he has recorded with James Yorkston, Matthew Nolan and Marry Waterson). John Parrish returns as producer but it’s a new label. Ten albums in, another great Crowley album. But the more I listened to this one, the more it revealed itself to be a GREAT Crowley album. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/f10f1cc9-6e20-49c1-8fbb-a6485080712f/Murder+Capital.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2025 - 8. The Murder Capital Blindness (Human Season Records) The third album from the post-punk band. I was a big fan of When I Have Fears, their 2019 debut, but they kind of lost me with Gigi’s Recovery its 2023 follow-up. I wanted this to be great. Released in February, initially I wasn’t sure about Blindness, but over the course of the last ten months it’s revealed itself to be a seriously good record. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/ce780fd8-43e7-4cff-92f1-a2b23754e7d4/Keep+Sketch+%28Cover+Art%29.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2025 - 7.

Many artists would have been thrown by an opening slot with such a legendary band but Somerville’s set was confident and assured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/0176e648-a328-4b0e-b5aa-167d450ea6ff/Kean+Kavanagh.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2025 - 3.

New Order ‘Ceremony’ 12” (Factory Records, 1981) A few months ago I mentioned in my “Record Store Day: A Top 10” post that I was still after the original version of New Order’s ‘Ceremony’ on 12”.

I’ve had the original version on 7” for years and I found the second 12” version, which the band re-recorded once Gillian joined the band, about 15 year ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/49a90211-15f4-4eb1-a6dd-e3db9587d280/E98wQ9uXsAEitBQ.jfif All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2025 - Make it stand out JD/NO - ‘Ceremony’ (12”, FAC 33, RSD 2011), NO - ‘Ceremony’ (7”, FAC 33, 1981), NO - ‘Ceremony’ (12”, FAC 33, 1981).

Various Beat At Cinecittà Volume 1 (Crippled Dick Hot Wax!, 1996) I missed the vinyl LP of Beat at Cinecittà Volume 1 when it was released in 1996 and had to make do with a CD.

Power of Dreams 2 Hell With Common Sense (Polydor, 1992) “It’s been suggested that there’s an underlying theme of death on the new LP. If that’s so then it’s probably to do with the death of our innocence.” Power of Dreams’ Ian Olney (NME - 15 February 1992). I originally had 2 Hell With Common Sense, Power of Dreams’ second album, on tape. That tape didn’t survive the great Cassette Purge of 1998.

Harmonia Deluxe (Lilith, 2006) 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of Deluxe, the second album by Michael Rother of Neu! and Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius of Cluster as Harmonia. In October 1975 US radio tipsheet Walrus! reviewed Deluxe writing: “Similar to Kraftwerk, Harmonia organizes a flowing rhythm upon which they lay lovely melodies. Using dynamics well, their tunes can be delicate or harsh.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/95b4a2cf-35b5-46cf-92fd-69ed64eb8123/Triffids.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2025 - 2.

In the mid-90s I shared a flat in Cork with my old friend (and Flywheel guitarist) Kieran Curtin. Between us we had the Velvets’ albums but Kieran also had this live album. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/cb8ae7d4-3e14-456a-b0d3-48362aecbcbe/16HP.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Live Albums - 2. 16 Horsepower Hoarse (Glitterhouse, 2000) 16 Horsepower were a fantastic band. They released four albums, two on A&M and two more on the German indie label Glitterhouse Records. Hoarse is a live recording from 1998 and was released a few months after Secret South, the band’s Glitterhouse debut. Hoarse was recorded in May 1998 at the 500 capacity Bluebell Theater in Denver, Colorado - a hometown show for the band. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1f75aba5-423b-42f0-a28f-43d21167e0f9/16HP+30.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Live Albums - Make it stand out 16 Horsepower live in Whelan’s, Dublin (21 March, 2001).

The Hedge Schools At the End of a Winding Day The Hedge Schools were Pat Barrett and Joe Chester and At the End of a Winding Day was the duo’s second album originally released in 2014. In early 2024 Dublin Vinyl announced that they intended to reissue this beautiful album on vinyl. They unfortunately went into receivership but the album’s reissue was thankfully rescued by MusicZone, the Cork record shop, and a gorgeous sounding pressing was released. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/c6b149ba-91fc-420f-9add-1d38b8e274bd/The+Goo+31+THKW.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Reissues of 2024 - To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited: At the End of a Winding Day by The Hedge Schools by Paul McDermott The Goo - Issue 31 (January 2025) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/5696467f-40f4-4286-a1f9-8a80a5f31976/20241231_141719.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Reissues of 2024 - 9. A Lazarus Soul The D They Put Between the R & L 2024 was a huge year for A Lazarus Soul. They supported The The at Collins Barracks, headlined their own gig in Vicar Street, and released No Flowers Grow in Cement Gardens (my favourite Irish album of 2024). Christy Moore also covered two songs (‘Black & Amber’ and ‘Lemon 7s’) from The D They Put Between the R & L on his latest album A Terrible Beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/cd242d6d-0167-4980-9987-798e443c52dd/The+Goo+34+THKW.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Reissues of 2024 - To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited: The D They Put Between the R & L by A Lazarus Soul by Paul McDermott The Goo - Issue 34 (April 2025) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/3ff93d09-cd2e-4d8c-8dee-98397ae6617f/20241231_142506.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Reissues of 2024 - 8. Dean & Britta L’Avventura Between Luna’s last two albums - 2002’s Romantica and 2004’s Rendevzous - the band’s Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips released the Tony Visconti produced L’Avventura. The original 11-track album contained three Wareham originals, two Phillips originals and six covers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/f9882f48-830b-404c-8b81-a07f6cc85507/20241231_142137.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Reissues of 2024 - 7. The Sound From the Lion’s Mouth I’ve been after a vinyl copy of this album for years but originals go for stupid money, so thankfully it got a nice affordable reissue. From the Lion’s Mouth, the band’s second album, was originally released in 1981. The cover is a detail from Briton Rivière’s Daniel in the Lions’ Den. The Sound were signed to Korova Records, a division of WEA Records. Korova is probably best remembered as the label that signed Echo & the Bunnymen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/5d2d6718-d224-4aec-b443-d3e2354f5232/Daniel_in_the_Lions%27_Den%2C_by_Briton_Rivi%C3%A8re%2C_warmed_image.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Reissues of 2024 - Make it stand out Daniel in the Lions’ Den by Briton Rivière (1872). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e4deeb18-e06c-4b77-b353-6e10a7762993/20241231_142414.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Reissues of 2024 - 6.

Julian Cope Cope's Notes #6 - Jehovahkill In April 2024 I wrote in a blog post (Julian Cope’s Postcards) that, “it’s impossible to pick my favourite Cope album, but his trio of albums in the early 90s - Peggy Suicide (1991), Jehovahkill (1992) and Autogeddon (1994) - are high points in a long career.” In recent years Cope has released a series of beautifully designed A5 books with cover mounted CDs looking back at specific projects and periods. Like all of his output the attention to detail with these releases is incredible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e267f911-e35d-4309-a094-dc5619c9cf3b/20240415_171027.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Reissues of 2024 - Make it stand out The SydArthur Festival (2017) and Cope’s Notes #1-#5.

However, it was the b-side ‘Carraig Aonair’ that I returned to again and again. It’s Pebbledash’s take on sean-nós. It’s experimental, its drones build and then everything drops out so we’re just left with the gentle vocals of Asha Egan McCutcheon lamenting as Gaeilge. It’s fantastic. In January they’ll take a giant leap forward with the release of their Four Portraits of the Same Ugly House EP. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e52a1e1c-dd41-45cb-a288-57711b674081/R-30037702-1711486023-8424.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - Bring Your Own Hammer presents My Grief on the Sea Bring Your Own Hammer is a collaborative project bringing historians and composers together to create new song cycles based on historical sources. My Grief on the Sea, an album on the theme of sea journeys and migration to and from Ireland in the nineteenth century, is the first album by the group of collaborators which includes: the late Cathal Coughlan, Jah Wobble, Eileen Gogan, Neil Farrell, Linda Buckley, Adrian Crowley, Michael J Sheehy and Carol Keogh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/b3672caa-bb4e-43c4-beda-0ab64056c2d9/david+long.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - David Long & Shane O’Neill whoiwasandwhatiam It’s not an “album” in the technical sense of that word. In 2022 David Long and Shane O’Neill, formerly of the great Dublin bands Into Paradise and Blue in Heaven, released ‘whelve’ an 11 minute composition that was commissioned by The Source Arts Centre in Thurles. whoiwasandwhatiam is another Source commission and this time the duo were encouraged to write a longer piece. It’s one track that’s just over 37 minutes long. It’s a dense piece that totally benefits from repeated listens. My first few listens were while I was out walking the dog and with each subsequent listen I found that I was hearing different motifs depending on my focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/37b2543c-15b8-4077-b0cb-cea335373916/Fohn.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - Fohn Seanteach ( Odda Recordings) “Producer and violinist Fohn brings connection, displacement and new identities into the moment, in an experimental debut album informed by Ireland’s island life, marine folklore and musical tradition.” Fohn is Tom Connolly of the experimental Bristol-based four piece Quade. Part of the Irish diaspora, on Seanteach he explores his relationship with Ireland and in particular Connemara, where his father’s family is from. Seanteach is a very different album to Long and O’Neill’s whoiwasandwhatiam, but both deal with the present confronting the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/3331cb63-e95b-4606-98e0-d26d292960e5/20241030_091218.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 10. Big Boy Foolish Stall the Ball (ConjunBox) “We’re two midfielders, neither of us are centre forwards,” explained guitarist and singer Liam Heffernan when he and guitarist Ricky Dineen, his Big Boy Foolish partner, joined me on Episode 40 (Hiding From the Landlord by Nun Attax/Five Go Down to the Sea?/Beethoven) of To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/2662e59b-dbda-4838-8461-83e5f7505d58/20241022_085621.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 9. John Hegarty Daydreaming (Rollercoaster Records) Daydreaming is John Hegarty’s - the Tralee-born, Kilkenny-based, singer-songwriter - first new material in almost ten years, but it was business as usual. That business, for those unfamiliar with Hegarty’s previous albums, is exquisite songs, delivered in gorgeous arrangements, augmented by lush strings, piano, and delicate percussion. Everyday imagery (a trip to the seaside, sitting in a field in summertime) shaped into literary lyrics sung in Hegarty’s unaffected accent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/271af00d-fb0f-4560-b1a6-2ce0d760d19b/Wake+Up.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 8. Sack Wake Up People! (Jetset Junta) Earlier this year, on Episode 39 (Butterfly Effect by Sack) of To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited, Sack’s Martin McCann and John Brereton told me how their first band - Lord John White - had suffered a really serious traffic accident returning from a gig in Cork late one night. Guitarist and song-writer John was very lucky to survive the crash and literally had to learn to walk again, he and bandmates re-emerged as Sack. The story of the crash and its aftermath are recounted in ‘I Fell Through a Crack’, the brilliant opening song on Wake Up People! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/5af6b16d-c5df-4ac5-9c49-c67c777572a9/20241030_090723.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 7. Melts Field Theory (Fuzz Club Records) In late November Melts announced that their lead singer, Eoin Kenny, was leaving the band. “Due to personal commitments Eoin has decided to step down as singer for MELTS. We’ve had some great times over the past seven years and we wish him all the best in the future,” read the band’s statement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/4500fe96-71dd-44c9-a9df-82b9162507e5/20241030_090821.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 6. Fontaines D.C. Romance (XL Recordings) Four albums in. Fontaines D.C. moved to XL Recordings, switched from longtime producer Dan Carey to Depeche Mode and Arctic Monkeys’ producer, and former Simian Mobile Disco member, James Ford. The band also seemed to draw a line under their past by changing their image. I loved Romance. ‘Starburster’, ‘Favourite’, ‘In the Modern World’ and ‘Here’s the Thing’ were four of the tunes of the year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/3f473775-3623-4c27-8686-20e8031655e8/20241030_091053.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 5. Sprints Letter to Self (City Slang) On the inner sleeve Sprints declared Letter to Self: “An album for anyone who needs it. An exploration of pain, passion and perseverance. Make noise and look after each other.” Melts weren’t the only band to lose a member this year. Following the release of Letter to Self, founding guitarist Colm O’Reilly departed from garage punk band in May 2024. Being in a band is tough. Never doubt that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/fbb818b4-bc44-43e3-bf2d-0c82a6efdc19/20241030_090847.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 4. Landless L ú ireach (Glitterbeat Records) Glitterbeat Records, the label formed by Peter Weber (Glitterhouse Records) and Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts), have expanded their original mission of bringing vibrant African sounds to a wider audience. What started as a vehicle for Mali’s Tamikrest has expanded to include great albums by Seán Mulrooney’s Berlin emsemble Tau & the Drones of Praise, Saagara - Polish avant-garde jazz artist Waclaw Zimpel collaboration with musicians from the Carnatic musical tradition of southern India, and Brìghde Chaimbeul’s drones on the Scottish smallpipes. Glitterbeat also brought us Lúireach by Landless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d85e1768-27a3-4ee4-b917-4cfac2e42563/20241030_091144.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 3. The High Llamas Hey Panda (Drag City) Sean O’Hagan was optimistic about how Hey Panda would be received when I spoke to him in April for the Irish Examiner (Sean O’Hagan, the High Llamas, and looking to the future). “It’s just a very different sound for me. I’m forcing myself into a departure and I’m at the age and the stage where you do everything on your own terms and success is somebody getting in touch and saying, ‘I love the new single, it’s wonderful’. That’s success. It isn’t anything to do with statistics or numbers.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d59d9aed-aa7d-4a67-a225-96faf21637e8/20241030_091118.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 2. David Murphy Cuimhne Ghlinn: Explorations in Irish Music for Pedal Steel Guitar (Rollercoaster Records) It’s pedal steel but not as you’d know it! Murphy knew exactly what he was doing with Cuimhne Ghlinn. “My objective was to take the instrument away from its excursions across well-worn roads through the dusty American south and southwest and deeper into a world much closer to home and, for the very first time, present it in a modern Irish framework,” he explained. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/caa88992-ea50-4b4c-8a75-19766d5971c8/20241030_090752.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - 1. A Lazarus Soul No Flowers Grow in Cement Gardens (Bohemia Records) On Episode 46 (A Murder of Crows by Joe Chester) of To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited Joe Chester talked about playing guitar and producing A Lazarus Soul. “I’ve been making records with A Lazarus Soul for 20 years. For 17 or 18 of those years anytime someone put a microphone in front of me I was telling them how Brian Brannigan was the best songwriter in Ireland,” extolled Joe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/161a756a-d6be-4b92-a5af-f107649ab7cf/image+%283%29.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/4c1b89c9-0b1d-40f2-a3ae-356bed616ca2/combine_images+%281%29.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2024 - A Year in Review - 2024 by Paul McDermott The Goo - Issue 30 (December 2024) https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/blog/top-10-vinylfinds-of-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/bb312cc0-2536-4059-91d1-c0f919b143e6/20241029_171257.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 Photograph by Paul McDermott. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/0230af90-f3e8-48bf-8f72-ca1d6b5f906b/STLAS+EP989+%28with+pix%29.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - Songs To Learn And Sing EP 989 11pm Wednesday, 27 November 2024 Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 Ben Watt – North Marine Drive (North Marine Drive LP) The Driscolls – Julie Christie 7” Hunters and Collectors – Sway 7” The Raveonettes – Love in a Trashcan 7” Boxhead Ensemble – Two Ravens (The Last Place To Go - Recordings From The Dutch Harbor Film Screening Tour LP) Buzzcocks – You Say You Don’t Love Me & I Don’t Know What to Do With My Life (A Different Kind of Tension LP) The Freshmen (w/ Micheál MacLiammóir) – And God Created Woman (Peace on Earth LP) Ultramarine – Kingdom & Happy Land (United Kingdoms LP) The Boo Radleys – Lazarus (Giant Steps LP) Seán Ó Riada – Mná na hÉireann (Our Musical Heritage 3xLP Boxset + Book) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d6cf173a-f0d9-4e5f-a3e4-59ad8a0cf12d/20241028_203439.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - Special Mention Therapy? - ‘Meat Abstract’ 7” Multifuckingnational Records, 1990 Not a Vinyl Find but a gift, a really generous gift. A listener to the podcast (To Here Knows When – Great Irish Albums Revisited) sent me a copy of Therapy?’s debut single. The band self-released ‘Meat Abstract’ in a limited run of 1,000 in 1990.

This is mostly a stripped-back acoustic affair with Watt accompanied by Peter King’s alto saxophone. Eden, Everything But the Girl’s debut album, was released the following year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/410dd1c5-e46d-448a-9eed-08366c4498a8/20241028_203339.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - No. 9 The Driscolls - ‘Julie Christie’ 7” Restless Records, 1988 “and then you turn and pull that Julie Christie face.” 140 seconds of jingle jangle heaven. Bristol’s The Driscolls released a couple of singles and ‘Julie Christie’ was followed with a self-titled mini-LP in 1989.

How crazy is that? The first press Go-Betweens’ albums on the wall were out of my price league but I was very happy to find ‘Sway’ by Hunters & Collectors, taken from the Melbourne band’s second album The Fireman’s Curse, produced by Conny Plank in 1983, a fabulous slice of Art Rock, punk-funk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/b49c4891-9b18-4758-891b-a09e976ff45c/20240404_152800.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 Photograph by Paul McDermott. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/7e645d59-d130-4972-9458-5a1974ec1dfb/20241028_203316.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - No. 7 The Raveonettes - ‘Love in a Trashcan’ 7” Columbia, 2005 The first 15 seconds of ‘Love in a Trashcan’ by Danish duo The Raveonettes has been the theme music to my radio show, Songs To Learn and Sing, for the last 19 years. I was very, very happy to find this on 7”. Taken from Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo’s brilliant second album, Pretty in Black, ‘Love in a Trashcan’ is a fuzzed-up rollercoaster ride that I never tire of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/74a826d5-2024-48ef-91f7-0748dd7d43cb/20241029_163703.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - No. 6 Boxhead Ensemble - The Last Place To Go (Recordings From The Dutch Harbor European Film Screening Tour) Altavistic Records, 1998 In 1998 I bought the soundtrack to Dutch Harbor - Braden King and Laura Moya’s documentary about an Alaskan fishing community - because of the names involved: Will Oldham, Jim O’Rourke, David Grubbs, Douglas McCombs, Michael Krassner and others. I now also own a live performance of the soundtrack. The Chicago Tribune wrote that, “rarely has the relationship between sound and image been so deeply explored.” I couldn’t possibly comment, as I still haven’t seen the film. God damn it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/f6a1fc03-239a-4c50-8bdc-5e4f8dcd25b7/20241028_191726.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - No. 5 Buzzcocks - A Different Kind of Tension United Artists Records, 1979 About two weeks after finishing Paul Hanley’s brilliant Sixteen Again: How Pete Shelley & Buzzcocks Changed Manchester Music (and me) I found a copy of the band’s third album in beautiful mint condition. Prior to this find the only Buzzcocks album I owned was a CD of the superlative Singles Going Steady. As anyone who DJed in the 1990s will tell you that compilation was a must have. A Different Kind of Tension is the third Buzzcocks’ album and the last of original band’s trilogy of landmark releases. My review of Hanley’s Sixteen Again is here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/579b609e-3a60-4ffd-a69a-22c01882f29a/20241028_183834.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - No. 4 The Freshmen (with the voice of Micheál Mac Liammóir) - Peace on Earth CBS Records, 1970 I blame/thank Colm O’Callaghan for this one. Last year on The Blackpool Sentinel, Colm recounted how the Ballymena showband recorded, “the country’s first popular music concept album.” It’s a great story, well told and put Peace on Earth straight on to my wantlist. Extravagant – check. Pretentious – check. An overblown folly – check. A great find – 100%. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/78f444dc-0282-4f4e-8f4d-c7332ca8c295/20241029_163448.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - No. 3 Ultramarine - United Kingdoms Blanco Y Negro, 1993 I once lent a few records to an acquaintance. A few years ago a Cork member of the “vinyl community” showed his latest vinyl finds in a YouTube video. He was shocked by how lucky he’d been. My acquaintance had given my records to a charity shop. I was in shock too, but I’m not bitter.* United Kingdoms is one of my favourite albums of the early 90s. Robert Wyatt lends his voice to a few tracks on United Kingdoms. It’s an incredible album. I’m delighted to have a copy of it again. The lesson - never, ever lend records to acquaintances. * I am bitter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/4daf3bad-e663-434c-a3c1-ceb39cc08b9a/Boo+Giant+Steps All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 - No. 2 The Boo Radleys - Giant Steps Creation Records, 1993 A few months ago I spotted this in Freebird’s secondhand section. It was in good nick but I balked at the price. I moved on to the next rack. A guy moved in and grabbed it. I immediately regretted my decision. I bought this in 1993 on tape and later upgraded to a CD. I’ve been looking for this on vinyl for 30 years. You never see this on vinyl. EVER. I was an idiot. Down in the basement of Manchester’s Vinyl Exchange this was the first thing I spotted. It was shouting at me, “PAUL, take me home!” I didn’t make the same mistake twice. Imagine having the audacity to name your album after John Coltrane’s Giant Steps.

I’ve only ever seen it once “in the wild” and that copy had a battered box and no book. The book’s important to have. A few years ago a copy came up for auction online. The seller worked for RTÉ. I wondered if the copy they were selling emanated from within the organisation. The seller had copied the photographs for their listing from Discogs. I asked if the boxset on sale was the actual copy from Discogs. The seller blocked me. Ho hum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/68780bbf-c719-43c2-b76e-3d4105f6beda/20241029_171645.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e69cf0fa-a2ac-4bab-97f6-b4399eba287e/blindpiper.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2024 https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/blog/the-chariot-race monthly 0.5 2025-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/8f41405a-9c3c-4d35-882b-2fb05871302d/20241027_130527.jpg All Posts - The Chariot Race - Make it stand out The Chariot Race by Alexander von Wagner (1838–1919).

Both Will Sergeant (Echo & the Bunnymen) and Paul Simpson (The Wild Swans) have lots of Drummond stories in their recent memoirs. I reviewed both Echoes and Revolutionary Spirit for Issue 19 of The Goo. I accompanied the review with my Top 5 Liverpool Post-Punk songs. No mean feat, considering Liverpool’s Eric’s scene of the late 70s produced some of my favourite bands. My review can be read here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/c1b02a18-db0f-49de-b2d2-42e2c06db56b/20231231_135829.jpg All Posts - Bill Drummond’s The Man - Make it stand out To the Shores of Lake Placid (1982, Zoo Records).

For me it was all about Adam Ant and Haircut One Hundred. A few years back I found Pelican West Plus, an expanded reissue from 2002, in Oxfam for €1, but I still didn’t think twice about getting this once I spotted it. ‘Fantastic Day’ and ‘Love Plus One’ are two of my alltime favourite tunes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d409ddb0-35db-4b10-a4f5-c4ed9927acd9/20231230_172246.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2023 - No. 9 Sugarcubes Stick Around For Joy One Little Indian, 1992 Third and final album from The Sugarcubes. I still have this on tape but it was great to find the LP. ‘Hit’ was the big single from this. It was produced by Paul Fox who also produced Our Time in Eden by 10,000 Manics in the same year. The Sugarcubes disbanded at the end of 1992 and Björk released Debut the following year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/aa277a43-5f06-4934-98a7-fa61cae05b02/20231230_172239.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2023 - No. 8 The Mighty Lemon Drops Laughter Chrysalis, 1989 The Wolverhampton band’s third album. ‘Into the Heart of Love’ and ‘Where Do We Go From Heaven’ were released as singles. It was nice to pick this up as I love the band’s first two albums but I kind of agree with Melody Maker who wrote: “At their third attempt The Mighty Lemon Drops once again prove that they are no better than hundreds of pop groups and Laughter is sadly wider off the mark than either Happy Head and World Without End.” Still a nice find in mint condition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/cce25b7f-1b7d-49aa-b97a-41d36379437f/20231230_172231.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2023 - No. 7 Katie Kim Salt Not on Label, 2016 I can remember looking for this not long after it came out and I couldn’t find it anywhere, so I was thrilled to find this at a record fair in November. Salt came four years after 2012’s great Cover & Flood. This one was co-produced by John “Spud” Murphy, starting a working relationship that has continued with the pair teaming up with Radie Peat and Eleanor Myler in ØXN. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/59951243-6949-4c52-a63d-cbc03df179fe/20231230_172222.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2023 - No. 6 Wire Chairs Missing Pink Flag, 2018 “No blind spots in the leopard’s eyes” A 1978 original on Harvest goes for between €50-€75 so this 2018 reissue of Wire’s second album will do just fine, thank you very much. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/55000296-c3f7-4585-b893-d31c5ab143f0/20231230_172214.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2023 - No. 5 The Art of Noise Who’s Afraid of The Art of Noise ZTT, 1984 Prior to finding this, the band’s debut from 1984, the only Art of Noise album I had heard in full was their final album 1999’s The Seduction of Claude Debussy. I read and loved Adventures in Modern Recording, Trevor Horn’s biography so snapped this up the moment I saw it. This has the big singles ‘Close (to the Edit)’ and ‘Moments in Love’. £6.99 in Golden Discs in 1984. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/165f8dbc-7750-4bb5-9cb5-e84d6dacd7ec/20231230_172206.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2023 - No. 4 Clannad Clannad Philips, 1973 I’ve been picking up Clannad albums whenever I find clean copies in the wild.

I was never a big fan of the movie, I much preferred Clark’s 2001 film Bully. However Kids did have an amazing soundtrack. The CD was book-ended by Daniel Johnston’s ‘Casper’ and Slint’s ‘Good Morning Captain’ and in between we got a load of Folk Implosion tunes. I couldn’t let this 12” of the UNKLE mix of ‘Natural One’ behind. Folk Implosion followed this up with the astounding Dare to Be Surprised in 1996. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/5bcde730-d20a-43af-8981-73dd46657006/20231230_172146.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2023 - No. 2 The Honeycombs The Honeycombs PRT, 1981 I have ‘Have I the Right?’ on 7” but I still couldn’t pass up this mint reissue of The Honeycombs’ debut from 1964. This one’s a German reissue from 1981 on PRT Records. PRT was formerly known as Pye Records. In 1980 When the rights to the Pye name expired, the label changed its name to PRT (Precision Records and Tapes). Joe Meek produced and wrote the liner notes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/570476e2-3a1e-42f8-a7de-43a797bd51b8/20231230_172138.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Vinyl Finds of 2023 - No. 1 The Watersons A Yorkshire Garland Topic Records, 1966 Find of 2023 is this mint copy of The Watersons’ third album - a collection of Yorkshire songs from the Yorkshire band. I was lucky enough to find their first album, 1965’s Frost and Fire: A Calendar of Ceremonial Folk Songs a few years ago so I’m still hoping that a copy of Domino’s withdrawn reissue of Bright Phoebus might show up some day.

For the Vicar Street gig Johnston was accompanied by The Beam Orchestra. The studio album Beam Me Up!! (Daniel Johnston and Beam) was released in 2010 and gives a good impression of that 2007 gig. Before the gig Vicar Street’s overflow bar (previously known as The Shelter) was set up as a gallery to display Art Prints of Johnston’s drawings. I purchased a signed print, I can’t remember what I paid for it, it wasn’t that much, the framing definitely cost more. It hangs in the good room. Whenever I look at it I remember the parcel of CDs from Prendergast. Daniel Johnston framed Art Print: “Polka-dotted underwear guy with duck and guitar” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/5dbefb0c-6d01-432f-a691-477923cb6e5b/untitled_-_duck_and_guitar_color.jpg All Posts - Dead Dog’s Eyeball - Songs of Daniel Johnston - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/88d70fc7-0ccd-4cc6-aef1-a23a6bf838e2/20231227_112547.jpg All Posts - Dead Dog’s Eyeball - Songs of Daniel Johnston - Make it stand out Kathy McCarty - Another Day in the Sun (2005, Rexy Rex Records).

Lankum False Lankum They’ve deservedly won all the plaudits, but it needs to be pointed out - 2019’s The Livelong Day is a masterpiece. They made an album even better than The Livelong Day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/7975fe4d-8ee1-43bf-9cdf-909db3c5c3a2/boa+morte.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 2. Boa Morte The Total Space The band’s fourth album saw a progression of their sound palette from a slowcore aesthetic into more ambient and synthesised sounds. The results were mesmerising. Boa Morte’s performance of these songs at the National Sculpture Factory in Cork was my favourite gig of the year. Working with renowned visual artist Peter Power and lighting designer Hanan Sheedy, the band created a genuinely unique mid-summer event on the Factory floor of the old Victorian Tramway building. Truly spellbinding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/608cc270-db2a-4303-bae5-57d3d35681a2/SMC.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 3. Slow Moving Clouds Kolmas Slow Moving Clouds are Kevin Murphy on cello and vocals, Aki on nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle) and Ultan O’Brien on fiddle (O’Brien also contributes fiddle to John Francis Flynn’s album). This is their third album blending Irish and Nordic folk traditions with post-punk drones (we’ve heard that word a lot this year in relation to Irish music), baroque strings, and Murphy’s soaring falsetto vocals. ‘An Driúillín’, ‘The Longest Lie’ and ‘The House Must Burn’ were three of the best songs released this year. A fantastic album. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/60032ac6-646c-482a-a58f-6f02fee78793/EM.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 4. Elaine Malone Pyrrhic Descibed as “an Irish psychedelic-folk” musician, Pyrrhic is Malone’s debut alum. ‘The Hunger’ and ‘Sin Eater’ got multiple plays on Songs To Learn and Sing this year. ‘Moonthread’ and ‘My Baby’s Dead’ were other highlights from the album. It’s dark and dreamy, and as influenced as much by 60s psych as it is by 90s shoegaze. It’s beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/18a8545d-78d2-4c85-853c-bc218e3ecec8/bonk.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 5. The Bonk Greater Than Or Equal To It’s got elements of jazz, lounge-core, spacey experimental sounds, and garage rock. It even reminds me of those old Enoch Light Project 3 stereo test records. I hear something new each time I listen to it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/b4c3048a-6d9a-4f10-a528-2d70b3cda718/lisa.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 6. Lisa O’Neill All of This is Chance Like Lankum, 2023 has been an extraordinary year for O’Neill. Her performance of ‘Silver Seed’ on Later... with Jools Holland and her Tiny Desk concert for NPR were two of the broadcast highlights of the year. I first saw O’Neill supporting The Unthanks at the Pepper Canister Church in 2013. ‘England Has My Man’ stunned everyone in attendance that night, what an unbelievable 10 years she’s had since. All of Full is Chance is an incredible record. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/74e916d2-31a5-4b55-96f4-bd05b0eda762/NC.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 7. Niall Connolly The Patience of Trees ‘Artificial Lake’ from US-based Connolly’s album Dream Your Way Out of This One was my favourite song of 2017. He’s done it again: ‘Distracted’ from The Patience of Trees is without doubt my most played song of 2023. It contains the brilliant line, “I was undercover as myself” that has been stuck in my head since June. Other highlights from the singer-songwriter’s 8th album include: ‘Q53 Bus Song’, ‘It’s a Beautiful life’ and ‘Your Song on the Radio’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/34bd5cd0-f863-41ab-baf9-935c683bba17/selk.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 8. SELK Shed the Skin “Have you ever heard a sweeter sound, so pure and crystal clear” - ‘Pure’ Anna Jordan plucks a ukulele, plays piano and layers her vocals, Dennis Cassidy provides percussion and strings are played by Kate Ellis and Cora Venus Lunny. The songs are delicate and raw, they draw on jazz, classical, electronica, and folk elements. Shed the Skin is breath-taking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e36489c6-d114-4329-b43f-0e9fba85a7c0/DL.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 9. David Long & Shane O’Neill And You Can’t Dream That “We’ve got all the time in the world, but still we need more time” - ‘And You Can’t Dream That’ David Long was in Into Paradise. Shane O’Neill was in Blue In Heaven. This is their third album together in less than two years. The old friends ask themselves: “Why would you try to make music at 60?” Their answer is simple: “Why would you stop making music?” Thank Christ for that. ‘It Comes and Goes’, ‘Broadway’, ‘Reflections of a Dream’ and the title track are some of the strongest songs the pair have written. A beautiful album from two masters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d2392e5a-e72e-4cd2-b392-a05bc1bb6d86/jff.jpg All Posts - Top 10 Irish Albums of 2023 - 10. John Francis Flynn Look Over the Wall, See the Sky ‘Mole in the Ground’, ‘Willy Crotty’, ‘Within a Mile of Dublin’ not to mention Flynn’s take on the two tunes that book-end the album: ‘The Zoological Gardens’ and ‘Dirty Old Town’ ensured that this would make my list. His follow up to 2021’s I Would Not Live Always came late in the year and capped an incredible year for Irish music. https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/blog/dark-star-twenty-twenty-sound monthly 0.5 2023-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/b66781db-2390-4f96-952f-d7bf8457766c/Scan0001.jpg All Posts - Dark Star - Twenty Twenty Sound (Harvest, 1999)  - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d0d6d4b3-0511-4711-b375-de2011529010/D198BSsXcAARzev.jpg All Posts - Dark Star - Twenty Twenty Sound (Harvest, 1999)  - Make it stand out ‘Graceadelica’ (Danny Saber single edit)/‘Dirt’ - 5” Vinyl (Harvest Records, 1999).

My #CassetteTape Top 10 - Raymond has been described as the father of British Noir, but according to author A. L. Kennedy: “He’s far beyond noir. There probably isn't even a word for his kind of darkness.” The soundtrack produced by Johnston (guitar, organ, piano, percussion) and Edwards (saxophone, organ, piano percussion) is full of, “Haunting melodies, sound effects and menacing soundscapes which underpin Raymond’s unlikely Etonian accent.” Their industrial drones are dense, dark, and incredibly eerie. The album clocks in at over an hour and is a really intense, claustrophobic listen - which is certainly not for the faint-hearted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/51d43acd-aa6f-45aa-9b7d-f19fd81ab2e1/F3_zkWnXwAEOUmj.jpg All Posts - My #CassetteTape Top 10 - A tape of The Smiths’ first Peel Session from 1983. Originally released by Strange Fruit on 12” in 1988, this tape was released in the US in 1991. Three of the four tracks were also on Hatful of Hollow. This tape was purchased in a record shop in Cambridge, MA in 1992. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e40c0eb4-6bc9-4fd8-a540-57ed549d73e2/F4DF_s9WoAAZJCg.jpg All Posts - My #CassetteTape Top 10 - While Jones and Balfe worked away for Dwyer and Cope, it was “another evening of endless drugs and videos”. They got through a half ounce of hash a day. The album was shelved, and the band split in November 1982. The recordings were eventually released in 1990 and were given the name that had been originally intended for the debut album. It’s got some of my favourite Teardrops’ songs on it. Cope is one of the very few artists I’ve stayed the course with. It can be a frustrating ride, but the highs definitely surpass the lows. His recent “Cope’s Notes” series has been incredible.

This reissue on Touch & Go is from 1992 and was purchased in Newbury Comics in Boston. “I was born in this town Live here my whole life Probably come to die in this town Live here my whole life” ‘Kerosene’ is still incendiary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/357ac58d-4015-4112-a6ac-5990e589cdb4/F4yEBv-WMAAQitO.jpg All Posts - My #CassetteTape Top 10 - The most recent tape in this list is an instrumental mixtape from Melbourne producer Andrei Eremin under his Ghosting alias. Eremin samples Joe Hisaishi’s minimalist soundtracks to the films of Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki. It’s mesmerising, the tape’s long sold out but the music can be purchased digitally from Bandcamp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/b924d1ab-1fad-4cf4-aca9-d3451cc880c9/F47d_w-W4AAgAi2.jpg All Posts - My #CassetteTape Top 10 - An incredible compilation of session tracks recorded for John Peel’s BBC radio show.

Could the rest of the gig be in the Virgin Records vaults? From a time when labels released different formats to encourage fans to multi-buy in an attempt to hit the charts. Four weeks after its release, ‘Town to Town’ reached No. 55 in the UK Charts, the following week it had dropped to No. 70. Sometime later, legendary record producer Mickie Most approached Sean O’Hagan and asked him to autograph his copy of the single telling him that it was one of the greatest pop singles of the last 15 years. He said he couldn’t understand how it wasn’t mega. He was spot on! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/badc7e60-5142-4e64-b425-556af2ca13de/F5MBK-BWUAAkW1F.jpg All Posts - My #CassetteTape Top 10 - Reissued in 2020 on expensive vinyl for Record Store Day, my tape was bought in a charity shop on Camden Street over 20 years ago for 50p. 16 tracks from the famed Ska label: The Specials, The Selector, The Beat, Madness and Rhoda Dakar’s still astonishing ‘The Boiler’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/0f1dce0a-efde-4ba7-ad6c-8afc88557fbb/01.jpg All Posts - My #CassetteTape Top 10 - A 27 track compilation released on Another Spark Tapes in 1984.

With his larger-than-life personality and surreal lyricism, he inspired and paved the way for a generation of Irish rock musicians.

I first saw Whipping Boy in the early 90s in Cork. I loved the two Cheree EPs and their debut Submarine. Their gigs were always intense, explosive tinderbox affairs. Then we heard that they’d signed a record deal with Sony. Well this’ll be interesting, we all thought. Heartworm was a revelation. “It was a life-changing experience. Getting involved in the band suddenly we’re flying off to London, and then playing shows in places I’d never been. It was huge, so for people who were from where I come from opportunities back then, and I suspect even now, are a lot more limited – your address mattered at that time.” Paul Page Whipping Boy and Lunatic Fringe + DJ Morty McCarthy The Village, Cork (early 90s) Image: Sir Henry’s Exhibition FB page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1628273483621-BTWR07FY4GRYTWF2SZV7/Whipping+Boy.jpg Episode 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1628273507611-L2CSJDI1MCD73GB9243M/Whipping+Boy+2.jpg Episode 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1628444118123-QBFXXTQ0EASLLCFRVBW1/Ertqk9SXIAEHqYu.jfif Episode 1 - Make it stand out Heartworm - Limited Blue Vinyl (1995, Columbia Records).

His 1982 album, is regarded as a landmark cult classic. The instrument was inspired by the Hammered Dulcimer, but Michael added amplification and effects lending it a strong sense of otherworldliness. Its sound is steeped in Celtic undertones but also resonant with the cultures Michael had absorbed on his travels in the East. This is a portrait of a musician who went AWOL from the British Army, spent time as a relief worker in Bangladesh, supported Ravi Shankar at the Royal Festival Hall and played with some of the biggest names in jazz including Alice Coltrane, Don Cherry and Archie Shepp. First broadcast on RTÉ Lyric FM, 25 August 2019. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/67ce9166-355b-4d45-a1fd-e5d4b0017fc8/1_2iuLQBKtsPLhIN9K_NMXkQ.jpg No Journeys End - No Journeys End - the story of Michael O’Shea an oral history by Paul McDermott Michael O’Shea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/8b161c1f-7679-4341-bc61-917fbc136382/MO%27S+2.JPG No Journeys End - Cult musician Michael O'Shea's journey by Paul McDermott RTÉ Culture - 26 August 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1619004258553-1CU6AWI5FBG3KONTHHR4/2020-04-26%2B13.00.33.jpg No Journeys End The Sunday Time (26 April, 2020) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1620210858118-H4P6ZZAXH7E26I79VYJW/Moo+2.jpg No Journeys End Moo Kid (9 September, 2019) Paul McDermott interviewed about the documentary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1621584476937-6LAVH3SYXB1LS1NPPMMO/combine_images.jpg No Journeys End - Make it stand out Michael O’Shea: passing out with the Royal Irish Fusiliers in Enniskillen (date unknown); in Dacca (Dhaka) Bangladesh, Summer 1972 and London, 29 July 1981 (Michael describes the photograph as: “Taken on the day Prince Charles and Di got married.

Microdisney went through several incarnations before Cathal and Sean upped sticks to London in July 1983. Over the course of the next five years they released two albums on Rough Trade Records and a further two on Virgin Records before disbanding in 1988. One of those records was 1985’s The Clock Comes Down the Stairs. The album topped the UK Indie Charts upon its release and has regularly featured at the top of “the best Irish album of all time” lists.

It’s a total shame because here are two of the greatest Irish albums of the 1980s. They’re out there though, they can be found on secondhand vinyl and are definitely worth tracking down. B ecause the music is unavailable digitally I couldn’t end this episode with a song choice from Shane so instead I asked him to pick a song from each album. Shane’s choices, ‘Old Ned’ from All the God’s Men and ‘Just Another Day’ from Explicit Material, are available below.

Mark wrote about music for The Irish Times and other publications in the early 80s. The quotes come from his great book Irish Rock : Roots, Personalities, Directions (O’Brien Press, 1987). I often see Irish Rock in secondhand book shops and it’s well worth picking up. It was one of the very first authoritative accounts of Irish rock music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1632665455048-5KZ6HWF5POPWGW3Q9LSJ/combine_images+%281%29.jpg Episode 4 - Make it stand out In the City 1985, images from Pádraig Collins. © Paul Cussen and Pádraig Collins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1632666073007-I3UR16VMZT2H7CJVZPKR/Julie+Cries+7_+autographed.jpg Episode 4 - and finally… After the interview the members of Blue in Heaven kindly signed Pádraig’s copy of ‘Julie Cries’. “Fuck your paper” - Shane https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/episode-5 daily 0.75 2024-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1633177404250-PYQYZFYQ4KTO79MXBNC9/Into.gif Episode 5 - Episode 5 Under the Water & Churchtown by Into Paradise https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1633706528169-ESRK3XGIGA62RPFGN95A/2021-10-02+15.13.33.JPG Episode 5 - Make it stand out Under the Water (1990) and Churchtown (1991).

In fact as Dave explains in the episode, things just went wrong for the band - bad weather conspired to ensure that a UK tour was badly attended. When Ensign let them go, Into Paradise found a welcome home back on Setanta and released two more fine albums: 1992’s Down All the Days and 1993’s For No One.

Its sound is steeped in Celtic undertones but also resonant with the cultures Michael had absorbed on his travels in the East. This is a portrait of a musician who went AWOL from the British Army, spent time as a relief worker in Bangladesh, supported Ravi Shankar at the Royal Festival Hall and played with some of the biggest names in jazz including Alice Coltrane, Don Cherry and Archie Shepp. First broadcast on RTÉ Lyric FM, 25 August 2019 Presented and Produced by Paul McDermott Producer for RTÉ Lyric FM — Eoin O Kelly Funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland through the TV Licence Fee Into paradise - Blue Light EP (Setanta Records, SET002 - 1989) and Change EP (Setanta Records, SET004, 1990).

Images from Discogs. The Stars (as they became affectionately known) released their debut 7” single ‘Clothes of Pride’/‘All About You’ on Eamon Carr’s Hotwire Records in 1985. John Peel picked up on the single and the band were offered a BBC session. Within days of the session being broadcast in January 1986 Rough Trade’s Geoff Travis had offered to release the recordings. The band added three more songs that were recorded with Chris O’Brien in Dublin and the resulting mini-album Sacred Heart Hotel was released by Rough Trade Records in September 1986, reaching No. 11 in the UK Indie Chart.* Announcing the debut mini-album trade magazine The Catalogue (the Rough Trade publication promoting releases by distribution network The Cartel) wrote that the band: “[h]ave been riding a crest of a wave around Dublin and London, infecting audiences with their highly charged blend of pop and country crackers. Proud of their influences they readily admit to the enviable after effects of listening to George Jones, The Byrds and Alex Chilton, SofH are also confident in their own musical identity.” The band told The Catalogue that, “We’re trying to make classic guitar music, we place a very big importance on our tunes and we have this game together where we try and come with chords that no-one’s heard before.” Positive reviews flowed in. In September 1986 Music Week wrote, “the latest in a long line of quality Irish outfits. This time, though, the focal point is country-esque melodies with a bit of punch. Neat vocals and guitar sound make for a strong seven track mini-platter. An excellent follow-up to the group’s ‘Clothes of Pride’ single of last year.” In early September, 1986 Cath Carroll in her NME review of Sacred Heart Hotel wrote that, “the title track is a comparative epic mourning the premature decay of the lads’ boozy peers in a Galway hotel bar. It’s here that the ghost of Tom Verlaine hovers most obviously in the short-wave flickering of the lower strings, soothing a bleak and strained voice.” Later that month in a live NME review Campbell Stevenson wrote that, “The Stars of Heaven are capable of beating The Long Ryders and Green on Red at their own native game because they have a better sense of economy, and in Stephen Ryan, a singer with the perfect melancholic tone for singing about highways and jukeboxes.” Rock journalism clichés were in abundance too - Music Week wrote the cringey, “for these Stars, only the sky’s the limit” and the NME subs were happy to let “The Stars of Heaven still shine brightly” onto print, and if your toes aren’t curled yet then how about Melody Maker’s, “there are four Stars of Heaven, enough to form at least a very small dipper.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d6a905ed-08b3-447f-bfe1-d8e72292a6f8/combine_images+%281%29.jpg Episode 7 - Make it stand out The Stars of Heaven - ‘Never Saw You’/‘Widow’s Walk’ (Rough Trade Records, 1987).

It’s available online from the Cambridge University Press here. ‘The country and Irish problem’ by Stan Erraught Popular Music, 39(3-4), 568-584 (2020) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/71c5032e-5a64-46e1-bc8d-e6e85b88d6ae/A+Man+Called.jpg Episode 7 - The Alec Chilton biography that Stan mentions in the episode is A Man Called Destruction by Holly George-Warren. Of the book, NPR wrote: “It’s hard not to compare A Man Called Destruction to Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me, the 2012 documentary that covers so much of the same ground. But where the film rightly splits its focus between Chilton and his co-leader Chris Bell, the book dwells on the man who has most captured the hearts and minds of generations of fans and fellow musicians… [t]he poignantly plainspoken story of Chilton’s troubles pulls back the blanket of superlatives he’s been smothered with for decades, instead delivering a sober portrait of a life that was anything but. George-Warren doesn’t mistake the myth for the territory, and A Man Called Destruction succeeds because of it.” A Man Called Destruction: The Life and Music of Alex Chilton, from Box Tops to Big Star to Backdoor Man by Holly George-Warren (Viking Press, 2014). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/9db5c015-6d11-4162-b28c-8d04ec34a2af/El2io-ZXUAAC8Eb.jfif Episode 7 - “The story of what happened is simple and sadly not as interesting as people think it is. We’d been together with Rough Trade for a long time, very tight. The band had had no manager so the two principal members of the group were dealing with the label and, like any relationship when you are very close and you are spending a lot of time together, things got blown out of proportion from both sides.” Johnny Marr (in Document and Eyewitness) In the episode Stan also chats about observing the inner workings of Rough Trade, the financial pressure the label was under and draws comparisons to Virgin Records in the early 70s. For anyone interested in delving deeper into the story of Rough Trade I recommend Neil Taylor’s Document and Eyewitness, his account of 25 years of the label. It’s an oral history telling the famed label’s story from 1976 up to its collapse, the collapse of the distribution arm in the early 90s and the eventual re-emerging of the label in the early 00s. It’s a fascinating story told by all of the main principals.

Over its fifteen issues Vox featured a diverse array of music, ranging from Throbbing Gristle to Christy Moore.” Hi-Tone Books In 2018 Hi Tone Books published a beautiful compendium of all 15 issues. In Stan’s introduction to this compendium he expands on some of the ideas we talk about in the episode: the cost of records in the early 80s, the power of studio engineers, the cost of recording, venues in Dublin and beyond and more.

The following month The Radiators were the support band on Thin Lizzy’s Bad Reputation tour. Towards the end of the tour in London at the Hammersmith Odeon the Radiators met Tony Visconti at an after show party. Visconti agreed to producer their next album. And that’s where we get to Ghostown. Recorded with Visconti in mid 1978 – it wouldn’t be released until over 12 months later. Though acclaimed by some quarters of the music press, it confused most others. The album disappeared quickly. In the sleevenotes of the 1989 reissue of Ghostown, Bill Graham wrote, “every scene has its great lost band and its great lost album, for Dublin, The Radiators drew that wild and bitter card with Ghostown.” Every year since Ghostown’s reputation has rightly grown - slowly but steadily. In 2019 it celebrated its 40th anniversary. It’s the oldest album I’ve covered on the podcast so far.

Roadrunner released two singles from the album and the band toured the UK several times. The NME called Chicks “gnarled, raucous post-punk” and Melody Maker wrote, “there’s not been a debut like it since, you guessed it - Psychocandy”. The band changed their name to The Wormholes and released two subsequent albums - Scorpio The Album appeared in 1997 and Parijuana in 1999. “Hi-Fi, Lo-Fi, No-Fi” Wormhole press advert from The Wormholes FB page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/73fface9-76e5-4769-8de4-7e681294f683/2021-11-21+17.38.19.JPG Episode 9 - For this episode I’ve brought a few people from The Wormholes story together. Graham and Anto are joined by their old friends Eamonn Crudden (one of the founders of Dead Elvis), Marc Carolan (who produced the band’s debut and remastered the recent anthology) and Stephen Rennicks (a longtime friend and archivist of the band and one of the writers of the sleevenotes of the new comp). This episode is a six-way Zoom recording, and at times the audio reflects this, but I think that’s in perfect keeping with this great band - “Hi-Fi, Lo-Fi, No-Fi” indeed.

I can’t remember who else was there. It was absolutely spectacular, made all the more so because we weren’t expecting it to be – one of the three greatest gigs I’ve ever seen. The Virgin Prunes farewell gig in 1982 in McGonagles and the Bunnymen on the Ocean Rain tour in the SFX in 1984. But The Waterboys was something else - imagine witnessing Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue – it was like that but in Mallow of all places. It seemed a bizarre place for them to be playing but when they walked out on stage it just made complete sense, the place went crazy. They finished the main set with ‘And A Bang on the Ear’ and then launched into ‘This Land Is Your Land’ - a load of mandolins up on the Majestic Stage playing Guthrie – it was just absolutely amazing.” Jim O’Mahony Blue in heaven - Sir Henry’s, Cork Image: Sir Henry’s Exhibition FB page https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/6cc52f7e-3b26-4736-ba80-8e9583808414/Croom.jpg Episode 10 - “Monday, October 23, 1989 was a freezing cold night in Boston, but The Waterboys played the best show I'd ever seen them do. Supposedly it never rains in southern California, but it was teeming rain in Los Angeles on Wednesday, November 8, 1989 when I saw The Waterboys play a show even better than Boston. I was astonished there were so many people calling out Irish county names. I thought me and my cousin Fr James Kavanagh were the only Irish people in LA. I roared out “Up Limerick”. On Monday, December 18, 1989, I saw The Waterboys for the third time in exactly eight weeks - three concerts, three venues, two continents. Unlike LA, which is six thousand miles from my home village of Adare, Croom is six miles away. There was an electric party atmosphere. A girl who sent me a Valentine's card when I was 12 was one of the dancers brought on for one song. I'd never seen her dance before. The show was even better than Boston and LA.” Pádraig Collins The Radiators - ‘Under Clery’s Clock’ (Chiswick Records, 1989).

The promoter said, “I'm not interested in your art, I only want to make money out of you”. Mike recounts this story in the chapter “The Ballrooms of Ireland” of The Magnificent Seven book. The chapter then goes into great detail on how The Waterboys and Desmond put together a tour of Ireland’s old ballrooms, community halls and other venues in 1989-90. The book is Mike’s 50,000 word account of the seven-piece Waterboys line-up that flourished from the spring of 1989 to the summer of 1990, it contains maps, lyrics, manuscripts, ephemera and other archival memorabilia.

Chrysalis’s own research showed that “only one per cent of the group’s fans actually own their album” and a huge advertising campaign was planned for The Waterboys “Best Of” album.

He found them in a lay-by on a main road in Gloucestershire and has been photographing their lives ever since. Losing Ground tells the intimate story of one gathering of individuals searching for an alternative. Whether disillusioned by modern culture, excluded from it, or simply seeking a safe haven, this group found each other and created its own refuge outside society. Donovan Wylie’s photographs chart their progress and decline, from the idyllic rural setting of Gloucestershire to London’s urban underworld. (Taken from Losing Ground by Donovan Wylie, 4th Estate, 1998). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/9493025e-b11f-4914-855d-6c38f8a3ebc2/LON65.jpg Episode 11 - A selection of photographs from Losing Ground can be viewed at Slate.

Lesy’s book compiles photographs by Jackson County, Wisconsin, photographer Charles Van Schaick taken between 1890 and 1910. These photographs were mostly taken in the city of Black River Falls and detail the harsh living conditions of European immigrants to the Mid-West and a series of macabre incidents that took place in and around the city. The book juxtaposes Van Schaick’s photographs against newspaper accounts and state asylum and police records. Wisconsin Death Trip (1999) is James Marsh’s dramatisation of the events at the centre of the 1973 book. The docu-drama was originally broadcast in 2000 as part of the BBC’s Arena arts strand. The film is narrated by Ian Holm with music by John Cale and DJ Shadow. It’s an incredible film - I highly recommend it. It can be viewed below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/0965f22a-ac47-4f12-ab64-ffc71bdd8409/Examiner.JPG Episode 11 - B-Side the Leeside, Cork's Greatest Records: Black River Falls, by Cathal Coughlan My feature on the album for the Irish Examiner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1629815742355-1QQ7K9Y340WK99U456V4/cropped.jpg Episode 11 - My review of the 1997 Cathal Coughlan/Nine Wassies From Bainne gig in the Rob Roy, Cobh that’s mentioned in this episode is published in In Concert: Favourite Gigs of Ireland’s Music Community (Hope Collective, 2017).

Cork fisherman inspired Weatherall to use the phrase “Fail We May, Sail We Must” as a personal mantra and get it tattooed on his arms. The documentary tells how the phrase, in turn has become an inspiration for thousands of others. It details how in 2021, on the first anniversary of Weatherall’s death, Sheehy was identified as the source of the phrase and tells how the two disparate worlds of the music and fishing industries collided. First broadcast on UCC98.3FM, 17 February 2022.

However, it is also about the wisdom of “Fail We May, Sail We Must” aphorism – and how that the truth to which it speaks only becomes obvious once you’ve been knocked around by life a little. And it is a pilgrimage of sorts, as McDermott travels to meet Sheehy in his home of Baltimore. Afterwards, the narrator stops off at the famous white-painted stone beacon overlooking the harbour. And he reflects on all that has happened in his life since he last visited it at age seven, with his parents.” Ed Power Fail we may, Sail we must Ed Power in the Irish Examiner - 16 February 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/6dd625ab-b50c-4a49-9a52-199b9f228237/FWMSWM+-+Artwork+30.png Fail We May Sail We Must - Make it stand out Artwork by Jack Collins - based on his print which is available here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1624793544028-3HSOY9ILC864H92CRUZ9/2021-06-19+13.43.42+b.jpg Fail We May Sail We Must - Fail We May, Sail We Must The documentary’s narrative arc concludes with a visit to Baltimore to meet Gerard Sheehy and a hike up to the Beacon.

William Fagan (Chairperson of the Gallery of Photography), contacted me and writes, “the photograph was taken by Bill Doyle in Belvedere Place, Dublin in 1975. It is the third plate in the book Images of Dublin - A Time Remembered by Bill Doyle. The album cover looks like another photo taken at the same date and time.” “The band have toured extensively from the bars of Kerry to sell out shows in New York and California” - advert from Music Week (06 October, 1990). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/574b95fd-5b8d-4d3c-b846-d50d289c1868/Cleaning+Lady.jpg Episode 12 - Fagan then put me in touch with Hetty Walsh, who runs Hetty’s Darkroom in Kinsale. Walsh developed and printed a lot of Doyle’s work. Walsh sent me the photograph on the right and writes, “these are very powerful photos. The place he was renting when he was working was like this - he photographed rundown images of the building. I think this was one of the children of the cleaning ladies. He photographed the cleaning lady also using the same window.” “The one thing about Bill is that he was a master photographer,” writes Walsh. “He won a master photograph award in the late 70s. He was an expert on lighting and knew how to use it and make the most of it. He was a big fan of Henri Cartier-Bresson and he met the French photographer in the late 70s.” More of Doyle’s photography can be viewed on Hetty’s website: Hetty’s Darkroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/13b3cf2c-f46c-4b67-9409-fa0b54c77483/IE+POD+2.JPG Episode 12 - Ireland in 50 Albums, No 14: Immigrants, Emigrants and Me, by Power of Dreams by Paul McDermott Irish Examiner - 26 April 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/8324ab1d-7663-4379-8cb4-a4177de89c7d/124672758_2796638890573122_1134512974755900930_n.jpg Episode 12 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/24060ac6-b743-4e7b-b103-aa6f47149008/124243340_2796638960573115_5972320864412306888_n.jpg Episode 12 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/episode-13 daily 0.75 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1648627640612-IQR8H7S78XWF0FJWROFF/Staros+cover.jpg Episode 13 - Episode 13 Staros by Nina Hynes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/c229feb3-133a-459e-b041-c4d0ade5a9a7/2022-03-16+12.56.13.JPG Episode 13 - Make it stand out Staros (Reverb Records, 2002).

Billboard magazine wrote, “Standing apart from the current trend of folk-based singer/songwriters, Hynes prefers a quirkier approach. Her kooky lyrics are delivered in a sensual, breathy voice underpinned by sophisticated pop sensibility reminiscent of Bjork, and she mixes samples and beats with a more orthodox guitar sound.” Staros (Reverb Records, 2002) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/ab6e9654-8346-48b2-b981-53f100653059/combine_images.jpg Episode 13 - Make it stand out Nina Hynes/Adrian Crowley - “Zhivago BLue”/”Fickle Light” (Road Relish #10, 2002).

This was a stuffed gig, Mercury Rev were touring in support of their first album Yerself Is Steam and Rollerskate Skinny were promoting Novice, their first 10” EP. It was the first date of Mercury Rev’s tour so Melody Maker had dispatched a journalist Leeside to cover proceedings, this was exciting stuff. There was a buzz about Rollerskate Skinny. That gig is almost 30 years ago, and it’s ridiculous the way our memories work because I can clearly remember getting giddy with excitement when I saw that Rollerskate Skinny had a few hand-me-down flightcases on stage still emblazoned with the fading letters M-B-V. I spent half the night trying to spot Kevin Shields who was rumoured to be in the venue watching his younger brother’s band. They were incredible that night – this wasn’t shoegaze, this was experimental, psychedelic noise rock. I loved it.

After a few hours of walking around the island and swimming off one of its beautiful beaches I retreated to the Doonmore Hotel. Over lunch I suddenly realised that I was in the very place where A House had recorded I Want Too Much. I was giddy with excitement. I looked around trying to imagine where this great band had setup their recording space. Where did producer Mike Hedges put all the equipment he had ferried over from the pier in Cleggen?

It’s really hard to convey to someone who isn’t from Cork, just how exciting it was to have a local band being bestowed the prestigious “Single of the Week” accolade in both the NME and Melody Maker for their first three EPs. I can remember reading that this was some type of record that had last been achieved by another three-piece, The Jam. This was distinguished company indeed. But The Jam were ancient history and The Franks were ours! The success of The Sultans and The Franks in the UK led to talk of a Cork scene, but it wasn’t a Cork scene, it had all emanated from one pub on South Main Street, The Liberty bar.

From an anonymous council flat on a run-down housing estate, an ex-pat Irishman is smuggling Irish musical talents into England and then exporting it to the rest of the world.

Up to the end Cathal was at a creative peak but really he was never not brilliant. You can randomly pick any piece of work from any point in his career and see there’s something unique and brilliant happening.

I know loads of people love Manic Pop Thrill or Babble just as much as I love Chemicrazy. For me it has everything to do with timing. I was 17 when the ‘Groove Check’ 10” EP was released, I had a part-time job and disposable income for the first time in my life. I bought that 10” and I was primed for the next record. Chemicrazy was a huge album for me and when I first told Pádraig that I was starting a podcast I had Chemicrazy towards the very top of my list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/0bf37aa0-0e3d-4f60-8e66-4b7b82e2c510/20221019_162404.jpg Episode 22 - Make it stand out Manic Pop Thrill (Demon Records, 1986), Babble (Polydor Records, 1987) and End of the Millennium Psychosis Blues (Virgin Records, 1988).

It is designed to raise funds for the Red Cross Ukraine Refugee appeal. The new book, “is a collection of pieces of writing from musicians, writers, actors and music fans. They were asked to write about a record (or a gig) that was significant to them and includes over 200 contributions.” I highly recommend it and it can be purchased here. https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/kaught-at-the-kampus daily 0.75 2024-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/862822c3-5b15-462f-bfb8-28b3cf5d8751/Revised+Artwork.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/8026ad1b-31e6-4624-b937-1f2eac416620/combine_images+%288%29.jpg https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/episode-23 daily 0.75 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/caef8790-bf9e-4c64-91fe-d12ed34796de/1981-07-11+MusicWeek-1981-07-11+Prunes%27+Problems+Over.JPG Episode 23 Music Week (11/07/1981) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/183249ee-eee0-47d1-a840-0103285c5704/1981-12-12+NME%2C+12++December%2C+1981+Virgin+Prunes+-+A+New.jpg Episode 23 NME (12/12/1981) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/db6c74a0-0e23-4fea-a1ab-896e8e179a21/1981-12-12+NME%2C+12++December%2C+1981.jfif Episode 23 NME (19/12/1981) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/6467e060-182a-4569-a525-3b00391a0bd6/1982-01-23+NME%2C+23+January+1982.jfif Episode 23 NME (23/01/1982) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/289462fc-fd56-4e9f-a24c-607035774044/1982-03-27+Melody+Maker%2C+27+March+1982.jfif Episode 23 Melody Maker (27/12/1982) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e376505b-c568-4890-823b-b9aa1e858ed6/1982-07-03+1NME%2C+3+July+1982+1.jfif Episode 23 NME (03'07/1982) -

Indeed on one of those journeys we even made a detour to a pressing plant in an industrial estate somewhere in West Dublin to collect a pallet of CDs of The Prawn Lawn - I can clearly remember us standing in the carpark each of us clutching a CD. An actual CD by The Shanks. We were giddy with excitement. A few EPs followed The Prawn Lawn and then after adding keyboards to the mix they released their second album Brang in 1998. Brang is an absolutely incredible album that received some fantastic reviews upon its release but it was too little too late and the band called it a day. The Prawn lawn - Advert.

It was my first time seeing The Stunning play live, the first of many gigs I’ve seen the lads from play. I’ve mentioned Sir Henry’s a few times on this podcast – but that gig by The Stunning was my first time ever in Sir Henry’s, the first gig I witnessed in the famed venue. The first of probably hundreds of nights I spent in the place over the next 10 years. I would go on to DJ in Henry’s and help run gigs in the place too. So, it’s fair to say that my feelings about The Stunning are wrapped up in associations I make about a specific time and place in my life. But these memories are not necessarily sentimental, because The Stunning were and remain an incredibly powerful live band. That night in Sir Henry’s all those years ago has stayed with me. The place was absolutely jammed. I had never seen anything like it. They were incredible. Steve Wall with his copy of Paradise in the Picturehouse..

I Tweeted a photo and Nick Kelly replied, writing that it was: “funny to realise how viscerally (if not musically) connected I’ve always felt to The Farm and The Fall (also Fat Larry’s Band, Falco and the Fat White Family).” I think its quite appropriate that in my record collection it’s The Fat Lady Sings that keep Mark E Smith and Cathal Coughlan away from each other. It’s a nice jumping off point for my conversation with Nick.

For me, The Harvest Ministers always seemed like a mysterious band – a band out of step with trends and scenes, a band that did their own thing at their own time. The fact that I could find so few interviews with the band’s song writer and only constant member Will Merriman, reinforced that mystery for me. I wasn’t nervous before I spoke to Will but I suppose I was a little apprehensive – I shouldn’t have been, Will was really friendly, helpful, relaxed, thoughtful and very funny.

It’s also great fun!” Amelia Fletcher – Talulah Gosh, Heavenly “To my great regret, I never recorded for Sarah Records. Having read Jane's book, I feel as though I have. Immersive, imperial and impassioned.” Stephen Duffy – The Lilac Time “There were millions of labels who you'd get a record from and go, 'I don't know what this is going to sound like because this label means nothing to me’. Whereas with a Sarah record, you only had to look at it to have an opinion of it, rightly or wrongly.” David Quantick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/3af74c88-5f00-4ad0-bb14-664a35091d62/Popkiss.jpg Episode 33 - Popkiss – the life and afterlife of Sarah Records by Michael White Bloombury, 2016 Little Dark Mansion (Sarah Records, 1993) & A Feeling Mission (Setanta Records, 1995).

This Is (2002) was described by the BBC as, “a self assured, beautiful and understated album.” The reviewer went on to write, “I only hope that their success is huge but doesn't stop them from making such fantastic music in the future.” They followed This Is with Love Life (2003), a mammoth double album. At the time Love Life was proclaimed by the band as the first ever double studio album by any Irish band. Now I’m not sure if that’s something we can verify but let’s go with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/504b72e9-b62b-48a5-936a-04af91136d67/The+Goo+20+THKW.jpg Episode 35 - To Here Knows When - Great Irish Albums Revisited: This Is by The Tycho Brahe by Paul McDermott The Goo - Issue 20 (Jan-Feb 2024) https://www.paulmcdermott.ie/episode-36 daily 0.75 2024-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/1702636142330-029HTU4ITRCMUODU84V3/Dublin+Gone+2-overlay.jpg Episode 36 - Episode 36 Dublin Gone, Everybody Dead by The Jimmy Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e90d94a5-d735-4cf5-a3d3-faf5b57e7d2b/20231215_154837.jpg Episode 36 - Make it stand out Dublin Gone, Everybody Dead (Pilatus Records, 2002).

Luke’s voice was still at its majesterial best, it hadn’t started to crack under the strain of his own lifestyle. The choice of songs on this is extraordinary. It’s a brilliant record.

I said to Neil Spencer, the editor, ‘We have to put The Pogues on the cover”. I went to the Devonshire Arms and I found Spider. I said, ‘You need to get Shane over here’. Shane came over, we did the interview, I wrote it over the weekend and it went on the cover.

It’s a record of standards but it’s pretty good because one of these men is a genius. Nic Jones goes on to make one of the great folk records - Penguin Eggs - of the whole canon. The Halliard, it’s nothing, what’s interesting about it is that the songs are just plain vocal arrangements of the standards of the Irish pub band of the day, but there’s something else going on with Nic’s guitar playing.” Danny Kelly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e206522a-4c1a-472b-8585-9a48c7f747bf/Halliard.jpg Bonus Episode 7 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/e8ca4b9f-aeb9-41e1-b98b-fe04aacb8f4c/20250221_155438.jpg Bonus Episode 7 - My Bloody Valentine Loveless 1991, Creation Records “Loveless is just incredible.

What an amazing song. We get on to Yeats at the end with ‘Stolen Child’, by this stage your mind it turned to mush with the greatness of the record.” Danny Kelly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/a878bb16-4c34-4d79-a1e0-2a0f9eca9b61/1989-02-25+Water+NME%2C+25+February+1989.jfif Bonus Episode 7 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/abc3376c-509d-4ef6-8c0a-0c2284406e7e/1989-02-25+Water+1+NME%2C+25+February+1989.jfif Bonus Episode 7 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d7e65370-35a4-4b4f-b9a6-99ed85490825/20250221_155504.jpg Bonus Episode 7 - The Grehan Sisters On the Galtymore Mountains 1967, Transatlantic Records “Following the success of The Dubliners there was a desperation to get hold of Irish and Scottish acts who were somehow folky. Transatlantic Records scoured the earth for these bands and perhaps this is the rarest of them: On the Galtymore Mountains by The Grehan Sisters. It’s incredibly twee and plaintive, but there’s something very Irish about it. It’s a lovely record and I love it.” Danny Kelly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/d535c6cb-0591-4a18-87dd-bc985d49a6b2/the-grehan-sisters-on-the-galtymore-mountains-2-ab.jpg Bonus Episode 7 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607ee9d9664b3f0fe083fca2/5a5517e5-f0ad-44a6-8208-47336b8d5505/20250221_155520.jpg Bonus Episode 7 - Thin Lizzy Jailbreak 1976, Vertigo “Jailbreak is a fantastic record. It’s influenced by Springsteen obviously, it’s deeply influenced by Born to Run, indeed in its own way it’s Ireland’s Born to Run.
