Great convo guys! The "image" discussion can't help but remind me of the Robert Palmer "Addicted to Love" video, with all the models "playing" the instruments behind him. Or even George Michael's "Freedom" where he intentionally destroyed the relics from his "Faith" days.

@@spinzvinyl I used to have all of the half-speed mastered LPs too. I remember buying them in the 1980s not really sure what they were but they were different and they were Journey haha. I left my albums down in Houston when I moved to Fort Worth in 1991 and I've been trying to locate them at the family house ever since about 2000. I went down and dug through everything in mid 2024 when we were selling the house and I only found about 50 albums stored in my old room. But only one of them was my Journey half-speed mastered albums and it was the Dream After Dream album. All of those other albums and especially the Journey half-speed mastered ones we're not there anymore. I had about 400 to 500 LPs down there and I'm guessing some family member (that won't admit) it threw them away or gave them away? Bummer!!!

I'm part way through the vid but will comment on popsike. It was the go to site from 2003 to the early 10s if you wanted to know if a certain record had value. When I joined Discogs in the mid 00s it was purely for hip hop. It obviously started as a dance orientated site and I think hip hop was the next thing to start getting listed. Rock, soul, jazz etc just wasn't on there at that point. So some dealers were starting to use popsike to check out their rarities to see what they should price it at. Discogs just wasn't on the radar of your typical dealer selling rock etc whilst obviously now it has become the go to site. Great resource but very negative with regard to finding bargains in the wild. Cheers Nige

I stopped buying hip hop in 1993 which kinda coincided with the explosion of gangster rap. I bought NWA, Eazy E, King Tee, Ice T, Ice Cube etc records up to that point and and loved them. However, I was always more into east coast hip hop and preferred the rap style of those MCs. I like my hip hop to have obscure samples as well so the little I heard in the 90s as gangster rap became more prominent didn't do anything for me musically. I even dumped the likes of Too Shorts Born To Mack lp and Tupacs first 12" release in a charity shop in the 00s as I just didn't want them in my collection. Each to their own of course. Good topic guys....cheers Nige

You raise a great point, that I hadn't actually considered, about the kind of sampling that was happening in the 80s vs the 90s. I think it goes back to that subtlety I was talking about. I too have dumped records that were just sort of "tainting" my collection lol. Over time my collection has gone through many stages of curation and is a pretty good snapshot of my life's history and the things that have brought me joy. Thanks for watching, my friend!

Super important topic, loved the takes! If I return a record from an online sale, I notify the seller with the tracking ID a day after I ship it back to them (I use my 'humdinger (Humminguru haha) and even clean it for them). In this manner I communicate that I am 1.) serious 🧐 & 2.) willing to swallow $10-12 shipping costs and they are not out any $. It was my risk and my responsibility to cover...never had a seller refuse after dozens of unfortunate purchases.

Excellent episode! At last someone talking about hip hop on wax. There is so much content about sound quality, mastering and pressings in rock and jazz. I just wish there was someone talking about that in hip hop. Last year was hip hop 50th with represses and special editions of classic hip hop albums, but no one is talking about the sound quality on hip hop OG's vs repress. My feeling is that little detail is done from record companies when it comes to reissues in hip hop.

Great chat guys. It's intriguing to hear the discussion on 80s r&b/soul etc. I loved Thriller but very little beyond that. As soon as I heard hip hop in 1984 that was it. It consumed me so much I just didn't entertain the kind of artists you were showing. It absolutely had to be rap and I turned my back on anything that had singing on it. Just a naive young kid stubbornly stuck in his lane. Thankfully late 80s sampling in hip hop resulted in me getting into something other than hip hop. Btw People pay big money for modern soul or boogie predominantly from the 80s but it's obviously stuff way under the radar on indie labels. I know zero about the genre other than I know there's some large sums paid for it. Cheers Nige

There's an added layer (at least for me) which is, if you didn't grow up with it, it's going to be that much harder to get into it later. I would say, start with the big, or most popular, tunes. Then when you find something you like, ease in a little deeper on that catalog. Here's a playlist I just added to the descr of the video: tinyurl.com/80sFunkRnBSoul

Jason Spinz … He could be the most important (non-jazz) artist of the last 60 years. Greatest hits are always a great place to start. I was once a non- Dylan person myself. Here are some suggested titles across his career: - Times Are A Changing - Highway 61 - Blonde On Blonde - Basement Tapes - Blood on the Tracks - Infidels - Love & Theft - Murder Ballads No one (not even Neil Young … well maybe Neil) has a 60+ year track record of touring, creating, recording, writing - absolutely crazy. I mean he is 83 and still vital, working constantly and creating albums that are at a very high level. Absolute genius.

I did continue to buy hip hop until 1993 so I bought Nas Halftime 12" upon release but I left it then and it very much felt like it was music of my youth. I did return to it in the 00s but mainly to buy stuff from the 80s and early 90s I missed first time round.
