The Undertones Teenage Kicks 7-inch EP



John Peel, already a legendary  DJ, plays Teenage Kicks twice in  a row in 1978. He would play this song often in the Fall of 1978 and throughout the rest of his career.  It would become known as one of his favorites.  A man known for his eclectic music taste, Peel had a special affinity for  the song, Teenage Kicks, one that endured almost thirty years after he first introduced the song to his listeners.

Out of all the music he brought to the radios of millions, John Peel’s gravestone has the lyric from Teenage Kicks – Teenage dreams so hard to beat. No annotation is needed, Peel fans know.


Though Peel doesn’t want to take all the credit in the clip above, record labels started to seek out the Derry quintet when the EP became part of his broadcast.  They were playing together years before in Northern Ireland, an area known more for unemployment and political struggle at the time then for music.

This is a well crafted collection of an experienced band nearly calling it quits. The world is a much better place because of these four songs – Teenage Kicks, True Confessions, Smarter Than U and Emergency Cases.


The 2008 7-inch SALVO EP is the official digital remastered 30th anniversary editions of the Good Vibrations EP that ended up on Peel’s turntable back 1978.  Turntabling has a copy of this limited edition release Teenage Kicks EP for sale –  (the image below is an example , our copy is #4670) first come first served.

Teenage Fanclub and Jad Fair – Words of Wisdom and Hope Vinyl LP


Can intense jangle pop brighten and revive the world? Testing this question with Words of Wisdom and Hope on the turntable is great place to start the research. Teenage Fanclub and Jad Fair introduced a collection in 2002 of mighty  love songs. This album pours out the phrase turns that bring the goods when it comes to making the listener feel gushy all over.

You may not be in love, but you are loved. Here’s the proof.

I don’t know much about either the band Teenage Fanclub or Jad Fair as separate artists.  Crush on You is the first cut I heard and I really enjoy where it goes.

Jad Fair’s ‘singing’ is more  of  a talking to the loved one (you). Listening to someone so confident in the adoration department is initially unnerving. Millions of song say, “You’re interesting and I want to know you”. This song states, “I know you better than you know yourself. You’re the most and everything is over the top because of you.” Any counter arguments will not be addressed in this song or the rest of the album.  Bask in this, only the facts over some sweet music about your greatness.

Sink Your Teeth Into The Malenka OST


 A gorgeous woman inherits a title, an ancient castle, an intense painting that resembles her, and a new set of relatives with extraordinary smiles.  Malenka, La Nipote del Vampiro , a.k.a. Fangs of the Living Dead (1969) is a spooky Spanish/Italian movie with beauties abound.

Carlo Savina’s soundtrack is thick with the harpsichord chills and whistling winds. This limited edition (pressing of 500) Quartet Records CD, also includes the score to the movie  I Diabolici Convegni , a.k.a. Las Amantes del Diablo (1971).  This suspense film involves , a missing woman, a curious sister, and a suspicious doctor. All together, there’s 65:39 minutes of haunted castle and suspense music.

I Buy Record Collections: Chicago Industrial Music, 90s Electronica, Italian Soundtracks, Lounge, Bizarre LPs and Oddities

Turntabling has many purposes. One of them is to scour the earth to find and offer you the most interesting and hard-to-find titles in selected genres including soundtracks, goth, industrial, post-punk, and many other genres. Another is to archive the strangest and most unusual vinyl on the planet–I have a special love for weird, unusual, and WTF vinyl records.

To do both of these at once, I find myself in the position of having to buy record collections–a lot of people don’t want to part with SOME of their records, just ALL of them for whatever reason. And I am VERY happy to help. I gladly accept donations of record collections but am also willing to make an offer of a group of titles.

If you have a vinyl record collection to sell, do get in touch with me at jwallace242 at gmail and let me know the size of the collection, a list of titles or sample list of titles, their approximate condition and any other information I can use to get started.

I am actively looking for record collections that contain titles in the goth, industrial, post-punk, soundtrack, and spoken word genres. I am also interested in a limited number of unusual jazz albums by artists like Sun Ra. Also, Stockhausen, John Cage, and other innovators and pioneers are most welcome.

For every want list, there’s also a DO NOT WANT list. My own personal do not want list includes classic rock, classical, country, show tunes/Broadway musicals or the majority of Jazz records with exceptions made for Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and other innovators. Typical jazz LPs fall outside my curation and collection interests.

But if you have a collection of Skinny Puppy, Sisters Of Mercy, Thrill Kill Kult and other industrial vinyl you want to get rid of, Drop me a line. The same goes for Alien Sex Fiend, Gang of Four, or most other post-punk luminaries and unknowns. I am particularly interested in unknown and underrated bands in the New Wave, goth and industrial genres, etc. Some of the most amazing records are not necessarily by the big names in these genres, but rather the unknowns and under-rateds.
