Another great inspirational video, James. Keep ‘em coming! 👍

Great great list you completed here James. I have a large chunk of these LPs. The Tchicai has been parked on my wantlist for years. Only seen a copy once in the States and it’s on Sherv’s shelf lol lol

Чувак! У тебя нет музыки про тюрьму....это провал. Как ты живёшь?!!!

Really enjoyed this, James. I have or am after most of those as well. Four years is quite a period of time as a collector to acquire these given how frequently our tastes can be pushed in other directions. Have you found that some don’t quite have the same impact now?

Good stuff 👍

Always enjoy your videos. And this is a great idea to look back on your wants from a previous era. The Gal Costa is a absolute treasure. Nice to have that in your collection. Enjoy it. I’m a big fan of the Michael Gregory Jackson. And…i first saw this record on your channel a few years ago. It’s true. I watched videos back then but never commented. I remember driving in the car listening to videos. (I finally got a copy about a year ago). One of my big wants is that Jorge Keyes record. You’re right it’s a tiny bit dated but it still works perfectly for me. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Shawn

you know I love a list! really enjoyed the history and the breakdown to each title and how you went about making it. Some great titles of course, some I have and some i hope to have. (Thibault, Binder Quintet and Chambers specifically). And can't wait to see this new list and I bet some titles to come your way from the VC helpers out there. Cheers James!

really enjoy your presentation, especially the clips! really helps the description, thanks!

Always nice to see a new video from you James! Hope you are well. Congrats on completing the list. All these years later. Not a bad idea. A separate more focused realistic wantlist. I have done small lists of titles I want for specific labels. My Discogs wantlist is so big and filled with so many random records I have added over the years that someone recommended. It’s a tool in a way when I look stuff up while out in the wild. I have been looking at it once in a while and trimming it down a bit. Man that shipping increase sucks. As if wasn’t tough enough for you. How much is shipping from Japan btw?

Nicely done! Love to hear about how these long-term projects get completed. It’s so hard to stay focused! Looking forward to seeing your next list get checked off.

Wondering how is that Gal Costa LP in mono, I have the 80’s stereo reissue and I love the mix. Congrats on your list BTW! I had one last record on my 2020 wantlist - Songs of Leonard Cohen in mono (US pressing) and I finally got it a few months ago in EX condition

the michael gregory jackson and binder are both excellent and still affordable. the reyes definitely has some dated tracks, but the more 'traditional' ones are good.

Why on earth would you spend so much on a record?? Some people have money to burn I guess....

Man I’m so happy to see these records, what a great time to be alive , trump 2024!!! Be well everyone and may god bless you all!!

Heavy list - well done. Looking forward to the 2026 video of want-listers where shipping alone was < $100.

Congrats on completing your wantlist of records and thanks for the samples. Definitely put a few on my radar. I used to sent emails to myself too as reminders on stuff to check out, you showing that took me back hah. Love that Lockwood records you played. Looking forward to your 2023 list!

Nice video.. i love that Gal Costa album, very much.

Hi James, I’m a bit late for this Bats party but I’ve been a fan for many years. Compiletely was also my introduction to the band (seems like a parallel to The Clean Compilation and The Chills’ Kaleidoscope World). That Free All The Monsters album casts some kind of magic spell, even more so than their other wonderful records. I hope the CD-only albums get vinyl reissues at some point. Thanks!

Its not true that with a blank disc the arm stays in the middle,its suppose to slowly drift to the centre.Many a expeet on setup will tell you this google it.

sounded like Bach organ concert in the background!

Grazie io userò un vecchio trapano a batteria. Che soluzione detergente usi?

What a great way to spend your day off. It's always a nice to pull out records from your own collection. You'll listen with fresh ears and often rediscover your old albums. You should do top 10 Flying Nun, but I guess you already did that at some point. Cheers!

Nice little list James. slates is indeed a great place to start. That Axemen on Flying Nun wow, certainly one im after. Time to play my copy of This Heat. Will be posting out discussion in a couple days ✌️

Do you have any Swedish Indie Pop? How about a Top 10 Indie Pop Records from Sweden? There's plenty to choose, The Radio Dept., The Mary Onettes, Club 8, Acid House Kings, Eggstone, Easy, The Shermans, Red Sleeping Beauty, Girlfrendo, etc..

If you like the sound of spaceships taking off, have a listen to The Bermuda Triangle by Tomita. The whole album is mostly bollox until 47:30 through to the end. If you've got big speakers & a touch of reverb, even better!

genres we’d like you to pull out….for me , electronic/ ambient , crossover ( neo ) classical/ classical . … James…Love the sunshine streaming in for your vids. It adds to the atmosphere

the x record promises so much from the cover-- seems so sanitized to me, maybe it felt different back in 81. now this heat-- totally agree a band that has aged very very well.

the AR Kane IS part of a reissue series by Rocketgirl rec in the UK. There was a comp 2-3yr back but now both LPs and a few EPs are out. Rough Trade shop in UK had them recently

Great pick with that AR Kane EP - I caught them last friday in Bristol playing with Seefeel and was blown away by how good they were. Wasn't too sure what to expect given that one of the original members wasn't playing with them, but they were extremely good! Not a patch on Seefeel but then who is?

Anything by the Fall is worthy of a place in any list.

I watched two transgenders fighting over a copy of los angles in 99 at a house party , one of them got on top of the other and started beating him with a broom handle , the dude nearly died lol was crazy

Some absolute favorites of mine; Dub House was a record the changed the way I looked at music. It was difficult at first and then it hit. And the difficulty became a pleasure. Mudhoney is the band that gave grunge a good name. They probably saved rock music at the time. Lol. I saw X in 1986 when I was just a teen - so good. Finally, Faith is maybe my favorite Cure album. Funeral Party is the band at their most depressing and also at their best. Great video. Cheers. Shawn.

Where did you get your vinyl storage units?

Background music is too loud and annoying.

Goblin Mix, never seen that before. And yes, would love if Teddy starting doing videos again. I caught up on them after the fact but they were amazing. So is Creation Rebel Starship Africa!

Thanks for the video James. I need to check out those dub albums I am seriously lacking in that genre and love it. Cheers!

The Mobile record truck is bad ass. Cheers.

I also have that Factory book, very cool. Funny, I bought a NZ original of Goblin Mix yesterday here in Sweden. I'm still looking for The Exploding Budgies, do you have it? Cheers!

Ah, the days of Teddy and the old VC. Brings a wistful tear to the eye...

Hi James; some great albums. Love the soundtrack Coffy by Roy Ayers. It's likely in my top 3 blaxsploitation soundtracks(and it's a good film too). Section 25 is a brilliant electronic dance record. The 12' of Looking from a Hilltop" was a huge club hit in the Detroit area. Many, many stories come to mind of dancing on the packed floor at 3:00am. Cheers! Shawn. PS - I've watched many of Teddy's videos and they are very special. He was knowledgable but also had a way of relating the music to our daily lives.

Don’t worry, James. I’m still knocking out the shit videos 😉

You can’t go wrong with On-U. All of the Creation Rebel albums are excellent. The album they put out last year is just as good as their classic period.

Love the Coffy soundtrack. Every home should have one 👌

Lovely stuff, from Lard Free to Creation Rebel. Have you heard Section 25’s second LP “The Key of Dreams”? Brilliant dubby late-night sound from them.

The Factory book is very cool.

truly love "I've Known Rivers," hope you're enjoying it as well.

Hi James! Revelators Sound System - Revelators. I added to my cart! I miss you adding your colorful commentary to the video. You showed many great album. Some I have , most I want . Always a pleasure to watch when you post! Thank you as always.

29:42 Also, as you know, "storing" LP's one needs to store them UPRIGHT. However after a certain time, these need to be INVERTED (upside down) to ensure they don't SAG vertically, resulting in a wobbly record when it's played later. I tend to keep mine one way (or the other) for far too long, so I too, need to go and flip the covers over, to have them sagging the other way, after all, they do sag over time - even on their (upright) edges. Sometimes I wil also gently spin them say 90 degrees inside the covers, to achieve a rotational anti-sag.

29:21 What I think? I think you did an amazing revew of all those vinyls and thus YOU MUST revoke that disputed content. Make an anti-copyright caim against the MUTING oof that one clipp, which destroys the integrity of your entire documentary review of several vinyl albums. Gat emmotional too, and claim FAIR USE had been applied BY YOU

I had to DOWN THUMB that a wee bit, as the "playing" of the records is a little lopsided. You have a lower output on the RHS channel, which means that the balance is set incorrectly, or the tracking has been set too hard one way or the other, pulling the tone-arm onto the side of the groove, rather than sitting deep. It could also mean that you desperately need to change the needle, as it may be wearing out.? Cheers. p.s: Your MONO documentary is "centered" in the frontal MONO channel, meaning it's the same "loudness" in each of the Left & Right channels, unlike your turntable's output.. Maybe you had the camera too far away from the RH speaker or maybe it's just a low "loudness" setting somewhere... All the best as I also PLAY video's and music, in a different format. Front & Rear centers only. It's the "perfect=way" to highlight the incorrect balance settings, that your turntable to camera audio has, which throws the frontal/rear balance off so far, as to be "sent" from one side to the other, when I invert the front & rear signal inputs. Then, going back to the "normal" Left&Right" (frontal only) stereo - the balance goes WAY to the left I'm thinking, from the "VIEW" of the turntable that we are seeing, means the camera is VERY close to the left speaker, and as such is a LONG way from the RHS speaker. THAT is a nasty place to place the mics as there is a possibility of putting the camera's mics in a DEAD zone, where the loudness of the Left Speaker's sound waves, interfere so much with the quieter RHS speaker's output, creates a dead zone that eliminates MOST of the quality o the RHS. You desperately need to find a way of putting a camera tripod in the exact center "between the two speakers" - about ten feet out into the room, to avoid an out-of-balance recording. That way, you will possibly gain the 60degrees either side of halfway, that allows the two frontal speakers to reproduce exactly, their 120degree split. Or try hard wiring a feed from the stereo amp, directly into the camera, for the perfectly balanced sound that we need to hear PLUS" At 25:41 your video's audio cuts out, with a potential COPYRIGHT CLAIM, against whatever the music was.. which means ZERO sound, until after you restart talking at 26:03 I hate that as its NOT actuall true is it. YOU can claim FAIR USE as you are merely making a documentary on "minute clips" for review of the album's owners, and are thus NOT using the audio for any commercial purpose. It's worth a shot, as you MAY FIND, that your FAIR USE is being abused and that's why KZbin muted the audio (it was NOT that the camera cut out, but KZbin cutting both the visual as well as the audio, until they allowed the visual without the audio conteny. TRY making a rebuttel argument with regards to the FAIR USE concept - of the copyright act they claimed.
