The VINYL FEST line up was the stuff of dreams. Mainly for the very simple that most of the acts who got played are no longer with us (the curse of Record Club claimed another victim with the passing of the last surviving original Ramone a couple of days after the session, sad news indeed).
The final results of the poll made for very interesting reading. The Cramps and Mark Lanegan tied for first place. Handy, as both their albums are mini albums, which meant we got to play both in full. Ramones, Johnny Cash, Otis Redding, Talking Heads and Pearl Jam also did pretty well, and we played a side each by the first three in that list. Surprisingly, The Beatles received no votes whatsoever. Which is refreshing.
And so many of you brought live records along that we didn’t get chance to play all of them (sorry if that was you). But we did find time for Dr Feelgood, Kate Bush, Stevie Wonder, The Who, David Bowie, The Smiths and Echo & The Bunnymen (recorded live just up the road in Buxton no less). Frank Sidebottom also made a welcome return right at the end of the evening. A full list of the music played is below. Listen to highlights via Mixcloud.
A big thank you to:
• Brett from The Downstairs Lounge for his selection of live comedy records, including the very topical choice of Monty Python.
• Mathew and Steve for their additions to the poll
• People’s Kitchen Glossop for the very tasty vegeburgers (bean and tofu if you were wondering) that brought the authentic festival flavour to the proceedings. They went down very well indeed.
And thanks to everyone who came, making the first Glossop Record Club VINYL FEST a resounding success.
Here are a few of the nice comments folk made on Twitter:
Great night at vinyl fest . Thx too
Wow – The Cramps, Ramones & Johnny Cash all in one night . Just needed The Fall too, then head would have exploded with delight.

Another great night at Club. Loved Mark Lanegan.
Just a reminder that there is no session in August. We’re back on Thursday 11th September for a screening of the documentary ‘Made In Sheffield’ and Q&A with its director, Eve Wood. Enjoy the summer and see you in September.
