How to Make a YouTube Short (and make it interesting?) Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-09-12 | How do you make an interesting one minute Short from source material with possibilities as well as pitfalls? Can you bring snippets to life with a bit of PC editor TLC?Hi folks, I quite like the challenge of making, what I think, might be an interesting short, using music and music related interviews/documentary source material. A bitesize format provides an opportunity to show valuable insights that are sometimes lost due to lack of time.I was asked a while back about how I particularly go about making them so here I have tried to show some of my though processes as I go. So here it is.If I can get a Short over 1K, 10K, 100k views or even a million views from a crappy £15 computer off eBay, then why cant you?I also find it quite amusing to poke the YT algorithm and bend it to my will, look closely and you might get some tips ; ).Thank for watching, and I hope you find it interesting.NB The source material used for this exercise is Pete Townshend interviewed about the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, a British concert film hosted by the Rolling Stones with invited guests, filmed Dec 1968.#thewho #petetownshend #youtubeshorts #shorts #vinylcommunity

Lets take a look through Record Mirror of 22 Mar1986 #vinylcommunity Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-08-16 | In a pile of old camera brochures I found the Record Mirror that came with a free EP single. It turns out that I had spent 48pence in March 1986.It just so happens that 3 days later I saw New Order at Poole Arts Centre, Poole, England, where, they played shellshock, their new single at the time.This free single was featured in my previous video 'Freebies & Flexis from the 80s'. I have tried to do this video in the style of the great Richard Warwick where he does some great videos going through old issues of the NME paper @Vinyl-Heaven-And-Hell2023 How do you rate the magazine out of 10?How do you rate my narration out of 10?"Sub-culture" is the tenth single by English rock band New Order. It was released as the second and final single from their third studio album, Low-Life (1985) on 28 October 1985 by Factory Records.In 1986, the Prime Minister of the UK was still Margaret Thatcher. She was Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990. #neworder #factoryrecords #mickjones #bigaudiodynamite #billybragg#vinylcommunity #champagnesocialist #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #vinyl #record #vinyl #recordcollection #recordcollecting #recordcollector #vclt
The Who - A Quick One, While Hes Away (Rock & Roll Circus) pt8 You Are Forgiven, end Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-08-11 | A comparison of the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus 1968 film footage and the 1979 documentary footage for The Kids Are Alright. "A Quick One, While He's Away" is a 1966 song written by Pete Townshend and recorded by the Who for their second album A Quick One. In their Live at Leeds album Townshend calls the nine-minute "epic" track a "mini-opera" and introduces it as "Tommy's parents".The song tells the story of an unnamed girl whose lover has been gone "for nearly a year". Her friends inform her that they "have a remedy"; the remedy comes in the form of Ivor the Engine Driver. When the lover returns, the girl confesses her infidelity, and she is ultimately forgiven.The song has six distinct movements. The brief harmonised a cappella intro is titled "Her Man's Been Gone". The "Crying Town" section is sung by Roger Daltrey in an atypical low register. Daltrey also sings "We Have a Remedy" in his more usual voice. John Entwistle plays "Ivor the Engine Driver" in that section. Then comes "Soon Be Home", another harmonised section. Finally, "You Are Forgiven" is sung by Pete Townshend – his only lead vocal on the album (except, on a small part of "Heat Wave"). The Who wanted cellos at the final "mini"-movement, "You Are Forgiven", but producer and manager Kit Lambert could not afford it so they ended up saying "Cello, cello, cello".A performance filmed for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus in 1968 can be seen on that film (released in 1996) and on the 1979 documentary The Kids Are Alright. It also appears on both films' soundtrack albums.The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a British concert film hosted by and featuring the Rolling Stones, filmed on 11–12 December 1968. It was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who proposed the idea of a "rock and roll circus" to Jagger. The show was filmed on a makeshift circus stage with Jethro Tull, The Who, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, and the Rolling Stones. John Lennon and his fiancée Yoko Ono performed as part of a one-shot supergroup called The Dirty Mac, featuring Eric Clapton on guitar, Mitch Mitchell (of The Jimi Hendrix Experience) on drums, and the Stones' Keith Richards on bass. As the Who's Pete Townshend recalled, an earlier idea for a circus-themed concert tour had been floated; it would have featured the Stones, the Who, and the Small Faces.#thewho #petetownshend #rogerdaltrey #keithmoon #johnentwistle #kenneyjones

DAmato Records - Valletta Malta (The Oldest Record Shop in the world? Est 1885) Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-08-01 | Hi Folks, this is another one from the (discount) cruise Med cruise back in May. Again I wasn't looking for any record shops as I didn't expect there to be many but this one was just of one of the main streets in the heart of Valletta so thought you might like to have a quick browse.The shop is called Anthony D’Amato Records. Set up by Giovanni D’Amato in 1885 as a Parlophone distribution shop. This small shop in St John’s Street is described as the oldest record store in Valletta and possibly the world and survived World War II bombings.St John Street, VallettaAnthony D'Amato has played quite a significant role in the music scene for many years. Located at 98/99, St John Street, it has been part of Valletta's history for 131 years. First opening in 1885 as a furniture business, it was subsequently turned into a record shop and started selling phonographs cylinders, the first devices capable of reproducing sound.Tourists walking past the shop are surprised to see the iconic His Master's Voice's Nipper the dog sign above the shop's façade. This is due to the fact that for many years, Anthony D'Amato was the sole local agent and trader of the British record label His Master's Voice (HMV).In the early 1930s, they were among the first agents to send musicians abroad to cut the first Maltese records because there were no studios on the island at the time. When the 1950s came and the Rock 'n' Roll and the frenetic dancing fever swept our island off its feet, the shop became the much sought-after destination of many bar owners wanting to stock their jukeboxes with the latest hits to entertain their customers. A good number of these bars were situated in Strada Stretta, the famous street known as 'the Gut' by British servicemen. Strada Stretta, also known as Strait Street, is the next street further down from D'Amato. As some of the records in the vinyl section will attest, Anthony D'Amato, apart from being a record shop, doubled as a record label. Among the songs they produced were the Malta Bums hit, L-Ewwel tfajla li ħabbejt; Freddie Portelli's Ħallini and Fredu "il-Bamboċċu" Abela's Taxy Mary. The latter was a huge number in the local hit parade for Anthony D'Amato and sold a staggering 10,000 copies.PSIf you would like to check out some of the other Vinyl Community channels, here are some of the good ones that have kindly recently taken the time to leave comments and interact with my channel, thank you folks.

The show was filmed on a makeshift circus stage with Jethro Tull, The Who, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, and the Rolling Stones. John Lennon and his fiancée Yoko Ono performed as part of a one-shot supergroup called The Dirty Mac, featuring Eric Clapton on guitar, Mitch Mitchell (of The Jimi Hendrix Experience) on drums, and the Stones' Keith Richards on bass. As the Who's Pete Townshend recalled, an earlier idea for a circus-themed concert tour had been floated; it would have featured the Stones, the Who, and the Small Faces.#thewho #petetownshend #rogerdaltrey #keithmoon #johnentwistle #kenneyjones
The Who - A Quick One, While Hes Away (Rock & Roll Circus) pt1 Her Mans Been Gone / Crying Town Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-07-27 | A comparison of the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus 1968 film footage and the 1979 documentary footage for The Kids Are Alright. "A Quick One, While He's Away" is a 1966 song written by Pete Townshend and recorded by the Who for their second album A Quick One. In their Live at Leeds album Townshend calls the nine-minute "epic" track a "mini-opera" and introduces it as "Tommy's parents".The song tells the story of an unnamed girl whose lover has been gone "for nearly a year". Her friends inform her that they "have a remedy"; the remedy comes in the form of Ivor the Engine Driver. When the lover returns, the girl confesses her infidelity, and she is ultimately forgiven.The song has six distinct movements. The brief harmonised a cappella intro is titled "Her Man's Been Gone". The "Crying Town" section is sung by Roger Daltrey in an atypical low register. Daltrey also sings "We Have a Remedy" in his more usual voice. John Entwistle plays "Ivor the Engine Driver" in that section. Then comes "Soon Be Home", another harmonised section. Finally, "You Are Forgiven" is sung by Pete Townshend – his only lead vocal on the album (except, on a small part of "Heat Wave"). The Who wanted cellos at the final "mini"-movement, "You Are Forgiven", but producer and manager Kit Lambert could not afford it so they ended up saying "Cello, cello, cello".A performance filmed for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus in 1968 can be seen on that film (released in 1996) and on the 1979 documentary The Kids Are Alright. It also appears on both films' soundtrack albums.The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a British concert film hosted by and featuring the Rolling Stones, filmed on 11–12 December 1968.

Good Morning Britain - Aztec Big Audio Scaffold (Viaduct remix) Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-07-19 | Good morning folks ; )Just a little experiment utilising props around me. I have been absent for 3 weeks due to being forced to work for a pittance doing manual labour. I know its shocking for you that a man of my intellect should not be forced up a scaffold!, and, especially at my time in life but needs must. Such a lovely morning up top the other day and an idea came to me to share it with you.Hope you like it, cheers Stevie 👍PS I learnt a bit about roofing that I didn't particularly want to know and if you're interested in a quote then I'm definitely NOT available.

1st Record fair as a seller - total disaster? Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-06-28 | Hi folks. A couple of people had got together to organise a local record fair. Unfortunately two of the bigger sellers, who had agreed to attend, pulled out at the last minute. This left only the four of us hobbyists. I had been informed a bit late it was going ahead and had been busy up a scaffold (long story), so I didn't have time to have a good sort. Nonetheless I had a few small sales but did quite well swapping stuff so i was quite happy and just glad to get away from an exhausting bit of work.
Pete Townshends Classic Quadrophenia - A New Audience (Trailer) pt10 Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-06-18 | In June 2015, Pete Townshend produced an orchestral version of the album Quadrophenia entitled Classic Quadrophenia. The album was orchestrated by his partner Rachel Fuller and conducted by Robert Ziegler, with instrumentation provided by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Tenor Alfie Boe sang the lead role, supported by the London Oriana Choir, Billy Idol, Phil Daniels, and Pete Townshend.Released as a double-album in 1973, The Who’s rock opera QUADROPHENIA is a conceptual work set in the 1960s milieu of the Mod movement during which they began their career in west London. The central character of Jimmy is a disaffected youth who hates his parents and lowly job, but finds release from blue-collar drudgery with his fellow Mods, popping pills and riding motor-scooters to weekend concerts by bands like The Who. But the freedom he finds turns out to be illusory. The album title comes from the personalities of the four members of The Who, used to represent the four sides of Jimmy. Townshend has described the album as the best music he has ever written. In 1979 it was turned into a film, directed by Franc Roddam (and featuring a young Sting in a key role) and has been performed live by The Who, sometimes with guest performers. In 2012 The Who played the album in its entirety on tour.Returning in 2025, the album is for the first time a dance production called "Quadrophenia, A Mod Ballet" featuring a large cast of exceptional dancers, introducing new audiences to troubled mod Jimmy’s story while remaining true in spirit to the much-loved original.

Pete Townshends Quadrophenia: A Mod Ballet - Opening Night review Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-05-29 | Hi Folks, a very last minute decision. I had just seen the last two stall tickets at 4.30pm for the opening night (worldwide) for "Pete Townshend's Quadrophenia A Mod Ballet" (with Orchestral Score) so decided to check it out. And very glad I did, its immensely interesting, especially if you are familiar with The Who, Pete & Quadrophenia in all its forms. By some strange coincidence fellow Youtuber Matthew North was sat right behind me so we could have a good chat about our impressions of the evening. His channel is @MatthewNorthMusic .I was also interviewed by the Sadler's Wells promotions team which made me feel very important for 5minutes ; ) . I was a bit nervous so I'm sure I came across like Alan Partridge.For any Who/music fans out there I would recommend this production/version as its something that should be very interesting for you if not special.Some would say very special indeed. If you can make it, give it a go.So will you have some tea, at the theatre with me?In 1973, Pete Townshend wrote Quadrophenia, an album that went on sell millions of copies worldwide and quickly became a Who fan favourite.

John Entwistle - 1944-2002 R.I.P. (Thunderfingers - A Tribute) Stevies Vinyl Cupboard 2025-05-25 | Bass player John Entwistle of The Who in a personal and in-depth interview at his home in Quarwood, Cotswolds UK. This cherished home was the last before his untimely death, and both the physical space, and the documentary made in its honor, capture John's charisma, humor, and passion for his unique style of playing. He shows his unique collection of rare guitars to interviewer Gordon Giltrap and speaks candidly about the special moments with his band mates Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. Voted Bass Player of the Millennium, John's tributes are many as featured in the moving interviews of Rick Wakeman, Lemmy (of Motorhead,) Bill Curbishley (manager of The Who), Philip Spalding, Dave Lambert (of The Strawbs), Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter (of Steely Dan), and his family. John Alec Entwistle (9 Oct 1944 – 27 June 2002) was an English musician, best known as the bass guitarist for the rock band the Who. Entwistle's music career spanned over four decades. Nicknamed "The Ox" and "Thunderfingers", he was the band's only member with formal musical training and also provided backing and occasional lead vocals. Entwistle was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Who in 1990.Renowned for his musical abilities, Entwistle is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential rock bass guitarists of all time. His instrumental approach utilized pentatonic lead lines and a then-unusual treble-rich sound ("full treble, full volume"). He was voted as the greatest bass guitar player ever in a 2011 Rolling Stone readers' poll and, in 2020, the same magazine ranked him number three in its list of the "50 Greatest Bassists of All Time".#thewho #petetownshend #rogerdaltrey #keithmoon #johnentwistle #kenneyjones
