Sharing is caring! 😉😂

Michell Gyro deck if you were curious 😉

@@VinylLatte I happen to have a 1992 Gyro with the upgraded power supply in the full acrilic case. Kitted out with one of my own build arms. Its a fantastic deck.

😂 Actually, I am doing pretty well in listening to everything. I work from home and when I am not in a meeting, I spin records while I work 😉

Thanks Ralph! Is that album "Imposter Syndrome"? That's the only one I am familiar with. Did she have another before that one?

@@VinylLatte That's the album!

I really appreciate your kind words, Mitch! It means a lot to me. I’ll be sure to check out your video; I love seeing what everyone else is picking up!

Thanks mate! Great picks yourself! 🙌

Absolutely! After dropping that much cash, they should roll out the red carpet and play your favorite tracks as you walk in! 😉😂

When people are excited about an album it makes me excited for it! Next time, I need to sit with headphones on and not talk to anyone 😂😂😂

🙌

Nice callout. I don't recall seeing The Challengers at my record store. Was this an Europe release?

@VinylLatte no I don't think so. I think it was just printed in very low numbers.

Great call out. I've been hunting for a 1977 Terre Haute pressing that came in a gatefold with 2x LPs. Is there another pressing you recommend keeping an eye out for?

The MoFi version is great.

@vinylrichie007 good to know! I know Idlewild South MOFI is a great cut. 😉🙌

Fair enough!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy that Van Halen album 😉

Thank you! 🫣😂

I know! 🤦😂

RIGHT?! This is what I get for being in line early and listening to hours of people telling me how good these performance were 🤦🤣

Thanks 😊

Couldn't agree more.

🤷‍♂️

@@VinylLatte 🖤your kef's would probably shine with "Love In Vain" hint, hint.. 🤔

Far from it 😉

The main reason is to reduce static electricity. Carpets, especially synthetic ones, can build up static electricity, which can interfere with signal transmission. This is more prevalent if you live in a place where it gets cold. The dry air combined with heating systems exacerbates static build up. Have you ever walked on carpet and got zapped when touching a doorknob? It’s a poor example, but hopefully a relatable one.

🙌

Thanks Todd! I appreciate the sub, and welcome you to the community! Question: how often do you respin a rarities album? Is there one that you play more than a standard studio press?

@ I would say I spin a rarities album maybe a couple times a year if it’s a good rarities. I don’t play it more than the studio pressing though. Just did a RSD video as well but didn’t get nearly what you did. You got a great haul!

Awesome! I will be sure to check it out during my next watch session 🙌

Thank you, Matt! I don’t blame you in the Beatles Story 😉😂 And I totally agree with your assessment, these are punchy and sound great for what they are. Oddly, the boxset is limited but the individual pressings are suppose to stay in-print for a while. At least that’s what I understand, which makes the boxset’s $130 increase even harder to justify. IMO, they should keep the Beatles Story in-print as long as the others are, and sell the box for $50 or $60 more than the 6 individual albums. For the extra cash, you get the Story and a collection box to store all the records in. This would make it more palatable for people to purchase.

I had GREAT time hanging with you too buddy! And shhh, don’t stay the amount too loud, the wife might hear 🫣😂

Sorry mate, I don’t get the reference. Mind catching me up to speed?

🙏

💯

Thank you! Great example in when a rarities album may be worth spinning. For me, it’s ultra rare if I respin a rarities after I listen to it once. But, I can get on board with what you’re saying about liking the mastering of the rarities more than the studio release. If that’s the case, that would be my go-to record for that album and it would get spun a lot more. As for the next RSD… I’m already starting to save a budget. 😂😂😂

Thanks 🔥 You have to pick up this pressing and play it in your room. It will sound incredible.

@VinylLatte absolutely mate. I'm on the hunt for it.

Thanks! 😊

😂😂 well, funny you should ask… I did order a few titles online that my record store didn’t have. Waiting to see if they come in🤞 Did you pick up anything??

@ I did. Went in thinking three things, but got bit by the “well, THAT is still here” kind of moment while flipping…and grabbed 6. Seems the Better Than Ezra, Ramones, & Kacey Musgraves were the “must” have titles in my area. ✌🏻

Great choices! How does the Kacey sound? I had it and put it back when I saw it was pressed on eco vinyl. They can be very hit or miss in the sound department.

@@VinylLatte missed out on that one. I did end up getting the Ramones from a store that was selling at the local record show yesterday. So two out of three ain't bad 🙂

Thank you 🙏 There’s some great Elvis reissues that have come out. The Memphis one-step by MOFI is incredible, and the re-issues by Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions are also equally amazing. As for starting earlier, it would have been a lot cheaper 😂 But, no better time than the present. So many wonder reissues available now, which is a great way to relive these classic albums. 😉 Happy collecting!

Thanks Mark! 💙 Curious on your scores for the day! Looking forward to your video drop 😉

Hey neighbor 👋😂 I’m actually in Clayton, but I really appreciate Phil and Philip and everything they do for their customers. It’s my go-to local store and my RSD home-base! How was Pour House for RSD? Do they have a good system? I can’t believe how rare Deluxe has been. I looked on Discogs last night and it’s already selling for $120. Crazy. Being a RSD First, I hope they repress this soon and make it more readily available. It’s such a great album, and people deserve to have it in their collection without spending $100-400 on a copy. (Apologies for the rant.) I’m glad you got your copy! Pick up any other titles that you’re looking forward to spinning?

@@VinylLattelol. No, I totally get the rant. I feel very similarly and was quite irked to see it already getting listed at hundreds of dollars on Discogs mere hours after it was available. Like you said, it’s an RSD First, so hopefully we’ll see a wider release down the line so people can get their hands on it without paying a fortune. Pour House was great! They had all their RSD releases lined up on the far side of their store and had arrows that directed everyone into a single-file line. That way everyone could flip once they got to the first crate. It was very organized and kept the whole thing from turning into a free-for-all. Love Pour House, and I go to them more than almost any other local. Far as other releases I got, I picked up Earl Sweatshirt’s “Feet of Clay”, the Ramones Greatest Hits, and John Lee Hooker’s “Don’t Turn Me From Your Door”. Really excited to listen to them all, but especially the Ramones. Been looking to get more into them and hoping this will work as something of a primer.

It sounds like you and I are similar minded when it comes to Deluxe😉 I need to stop in and spend time at Pour House. When I head into Raleigh, I usually hit the used book store at the Glenwood circle (they sometimes have great records there), Nice Price, and Honky Dory. I haven’t spent much time at Schoolkids, Record Krate, or Sorry State. One day, I want to do a Raleigh loop and hit all of them in a day… an official grail hunting day, if you will. Anyway, I’ve gone off again. Great picks! The early reviews of the Ramones Greatest Hits are coming in favorable, which I’m glad to hear as I was worried about the runtime on this single LP. I’d like to know your thoughts on the Earl Sweatshirt and John Lee Hooker. I ordered John online, but haven’t pulled the trigger on Earl yet. I picked up Doris from Vinyl Me, Please earlier this year and it sounds good. Mastered well, dynamic, I couldn’t be happier with it. Happy listening!

I’m hoping they sound good too 😉😂 See, for bands you love, it’s fun. But I think you really need to love the band, or at least the album, to listen to a rarities record more than once.

I don’t blame you! 😉 A lot of stores posting their extra stock online at 8 AM today. Might be worth searching on Shopify or RSDMRKT. Happy hunting!

🤷

😆 GREAT seeing you again as well! Enjoy that record!!

Glad you got what you wanted (and stayed in budget, hopefully 😉) I’m seriously looking forward to the Joe Bataan. My other albums from him are straight 🔥 I hope you enjoy the tunes!

Sounds like you had a great haul yourself! What are some of your personal highlights? Thanks on the box set!! I’m jumping to Discogs as we speak to add it to the list. Since you own the set, how does it sound?!

@@VinylLatte The box set sounds better than the OG I got back when it came out. I just recorded my video. The OG is a single disc, the box set is 8. sounds great, but it is a subpar 2 shows. He got Mitch Mitchel back in the band by the time I got to see Jimi live. May 30, 1970 late show Berkeley Community Theatre. I was just 21 back then, riots were happening about some social injustice etc. So the only show I saw was pressed on LP. I am looking forward to the 5 x LP + Blu Ray Electric Ladyland set that just came out. Better sidemen. I would suggest listening to the single disk you got before you drop big bucks on the box. 4 shows over two nights.

Pretty awesome that the show you saw was pressed! I’d love to see your reaction when you found out that the only show you saw was being released as an album. That hasn’t happened to me yet, but I’d definitely pick up whatever album it was if it did 😉 Thanks for the information on the box. I’ll plan to follow your suggestion. Happy spinning!

Wow, thanks! Glad to have you! Hopefully you were able to score some great albums yourself?!

@@VinylLatteyup I did. But most are non-RSD titles that I don’t own yet. Going back tomorrow to see what’s left and will pick up few more. Cheers!

Awesome! Good luck and happy hunting! 😉👍
