Record Store Day - Finding AWESOME 80s vinyl in 2023!

[@Yes_Fantasy_419]

Love your positive HOPE and OPTIMISM! Thank you for being such amazing people in today's world! :D

[@Yes_Fantasy_419]

This channel and videos deserve way more views and love! Absolutely wholesome and beautiful. The magic of the 1980s will truly never die out! Should collab with other KZbinr or internet people who grew up or lived throughout the 1980s. Also should try to meet Steven Spielberg cause even though his movie making skills have waned recently he did his part in helping create the 1980s by bringing movie magic to the big screen. :)

[@Our80sLife]

That's so nice, thank you!! We've got plans to collaborate with more of our Gen-X friends in the future, especially on our podcast. Thanks for watching, and please stay tuned...

[@sl4983]

Those were some great albums you found!

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks!!

[@alex2980]

I love your positivity guys. Happy Belated Record store day.

[@Our80sLife]

That's so nice, thanks Alex!

[@thomasjustice1716]

I would have definitely picked up that Crowded House Lp. One of my absolute favorites.

[@Bernhard2024]

I love this video. I m so happy you picked up Hunting high and low by a-ha. I love this band all my life and its so deeply moving to see ,their foodsteps in US too. We share a lot of musictaste.

[@yainreyna5374]

Keep it up guys!! Don't let the 80s die! I won't either! I always show my kids around the town of Sherman Tx. I show them where KMart use to be. Also Gibsons Drug Store , Tom Thumb and King Saver.

[@Our80sLife]

Absolutely! Let's keep the spirit of the 80s alive and pass it on to the next generation!

[@melissab1044]

Great record haul! Thanks for taking us along!

[@Our80sLife]

Sure thing, thanks Melissa!

[@Yesica1993]

So much fun! I sound like an old fogey, but kids today have missed the joy of album cover art!

[@Our80sLife]

Totally agree!! Heck, kids today have missed most of the excellent music as well. Let's face it, modern artists will never measure up to the music of our youth back in the 80s... now who sounds like an old fogey?! LOL!!

[@bluebonnet1014]

I love when y’all take us along. I’m curious…I know Wichita must be a great place to live but do y’all ever miss Texas? Have a great week! 👍

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks for watching! We were relocated to Wichita almost 20 years ago, but we definitely miss Texas from time to time. We still have family and friends there which are dear to us, so of course we miss them! And we visit Dallas/Ft. Worth whenever we get a chance... that will always be my "hometown." The shopping, food, and fun vibes are like no place else on earth! Our favorite weekend getaway spot would be the Ft. Worth Stockyards. We recently celebrated Keith's 50th birthday there and had an absolute blast!

[@MarkSchaub]

Great pickups! Love the stores you have in Wichita!

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks Mark!

[@spurbronc9449]

My dad has been a DJ since the 70s. Mostly soul music. He does have some that are other categories though because he was hired for many different types of gigs. He still has all of his original records though till this day. Still in original sleeves. I imagine some are rare and valuable.

[@Our80sLife]

That's amazing! Your dad sounds like a cool dude.

[@trevorsflatroundspun-vinyl9803]

I would highly recommend using the Discogs app to catalog your records. It’s user friendly and it also shows the value. I’ve had the same problem of “Do I have this?”. So, I use the app on my phone to check.

[@btetschner]

A+ video! Such high quality and it was a cultural experience too! Awesome finds!

[@Louisejames23]

I saw General public in 1984 supporting Queen, great band (as were the Beat). Love the 80’s ❤😊

[@Our80sLife]

Wow! 😲 That must’ve been an amazing show!! You’re so lucky to have seen Queen… one of the greatest rock bands of all time!

[@Louisejames23]

@@Our80sLife Actually saw them twice 😉😬🤘

[@benjaminsmith3151]

OMG, Three O CLock High! I've really gotten into Tangerine Dream recently, and that's definitely on my list along With Miracle Mile. I think they had the ability to turn up the heat on a movie without attracting any attention.

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks Benjamin, I think you're spot-on with your assessment of Tangerine Dream, which would explain why the soundtrack wasn't memorable to me. Their music simply enhanced and carried the storyline. I'm listening to it now with new ears and realizing the genius behind that!

[@haffrods7055]

This was fun getting taken along record hunting. When are "we" going again?

[@Our80sLife]

Cool, thanks for joining us! Hopefully we'll get back out there soon!

[@rcowens7]

Cool video! Nice that we have a few vinyl record shops in Wichita. I have a bunch of records, but I need to get them all out of boxes to see what all I have! Flock of Seagulls is a fav of mine, too.

[@jdcfink6920]

That closing of the video Culture Club had me cracking up. Reminds me of when my daughter started randomly singing karma chameleon out loud ( loudly)at the grocery store when she was about 4 years old 😂. Great picks. The 80's and the 50's runs deep at our house. PS. I totally would have nabbed up that Crowded House album. Hey now, hey now.

[@Louisejames23]

General Public were formed by Dave Wakeling & Ranking Roger when the Beat (or the English Beat as they were known in US) split. They were more mainstream than the ska-oriented Beat. Dave Wakeling is still fronting a version of the Beat, as is Ranking Roger’s son Ranking Junior. Definitely worth checking out if you like ska music and the like 👍

[@DWINC]

Bragging? Poor Keith…it’s just a sticker on his laptop. Let him be Abbey! hahaha

[@Our80sLife]

LOL!!

[@michaelduncan5038]

Hey, I just got that exact Ray Parker Jr. record a couple weeks ago. Lol. Awesome haul! I especially love the hair metal/glam rock you guys got.

[@baileyostrom2972]

I love the Greetings from Wichita sign! You should DEFINITELY vlog more about Wichita! I think you said you moved to Wichita from Texas because Keith was relocated?

[@chiefmegadeth]

Van Halen song Girl gone bad Eddie playing on that is out of this world! I have so many collections from comics, games, guitars and pedals and 4k movies. I when get into something I usually over spend. So im avoiding Vinyl because of my wallet and space... I love 80s music, prices on vinyl in Australia is crazy expensive Great video guys!

[@btetschner]

Awesome albums! I am unfamiliar with a couple of the bands (Ultravox and General Public) but the rest I think I know... x I think you're the first person I have ever heard reference Sheena Easton other than myself! I really only know her from the single "Eternity", but I really like that video. x As a child in the 80s, we had very little money. One of the few albums we did buy was Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi (great find for an album). x On some of those albums are songs I have listened to A LOT: "Gloria" by Laura Branigan, "Don't You Want Me" by Human League (80s Cruisers!), "I think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany (listened to an outrageous amount of times), "Mickey" by Toni Basil, and "Betty Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. x Cyndi Lauper was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, she might make it in! Going to check out the film "3 o'clock High," and the song "Strut" by Sheena Easton.

[@NITE_SHIFTING]

Jim Walker's Something To Remember Me By is a great song off of the 3 o'clock High soundtrack. Great find by the way. 👍

[@Our80sLife]

You’re right!! I just listened, and it totally jogged my memory. Thanks for reintroducing me to it! 🎶

[@Henry-fx2vp]

Keith you can’t never have enough Cabbage Patch stuff tell him Abby…Love Sheena Easton and Ray Parker… My crush of the 80s was Belinda Carlisle; still is!!! Mini Pop rocked…

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks for backing me up on that Henry... FACTS! And by the way, I'm pretty sure Keith also has a crush on Belinda, ha ha! She's a beautiful lady, so I can definitely see why.

[@bigalcincinnatikidadventur7692]

I see you two brought more classics I see!!! Including some of my favorites!!! I didn't even know that was Linda Gray's Leg on The Graduate Cover!!! WOW!!! And I thought it was Mrs. Robinson's herself!!! Hey did you two go see the movie "AIR", about how Nike signed Michael Jordan, and how they came up with the Air Jordan Shoes?

[@Our80sLife]

Hey Al, glad you approve of our selections! Yep, that's Linda Gray's famous leg... forgot to mention it in this video, but we'll be meeting her this summer at the Dallas 45th Reunion, eeeek!! We haven't seen AIR yet, but I've been hearing good things about it. I've also heard there's lots of good 80s music on the soundtrack. Did you see it yet?

[@bigalcincinnatikidadventur7692]

@@Our80sLife yeah I actually seen it last Thursday. Ben Affleck looked just like Phil Knight who was the Nike CEO at the time. They had a lot of famous faces in it, along with some 80's Favorites too!!!

[@BrytonJones6063]

Wow, I just wanna say that my dad used to live at Wichita

[@Our80sLife]

Cool!

[@BrytonJones6063]

@@Our80sLife I know right he used to live in Wichita and then he moved to Chicago and now my father lives in Alabama and he got married. By the way I wanna go with his wife and let’s just say that his wife is now a Jones member like me and Tannah Jones and Kristin Davis Jones and Byron Jones

[@AaronC143]

I have those albums too, Air Supply - Greatest Hits and The Go-Go's - Vacation. I bought a record at a flea market over that same weekend too. It is The Best Of The Guess Who. By the way, this year marks the 40th anniversary of the release of that Air Supply record.

[@Our80sLife]

Oh nice! We usually go for more upbeat music, but Air Supply does have an impressive number of ballads that were hits back in the 80s. We're looking forward to meeting them on The 80s Cruise next year... time to get listening to that album!

[@AaronC143]

@@Our80sLife I was listening to them on my way to Arby's and back yesterday.

[@StereoRodeo]

RSD I picked up Duran Duran, Flock of seagulls, Belinda Carlisle and Howard Jones…80’s score.

[@Our80sLife]

That's an AMAZING selection!! They are among our absolute favorites. Well done Lloyd :)

[@btetschner]

I looked up that Belinda Carlisle album.... BEWARE of how many times those songs can be played! lol I have listened to those songs A LOT, especially "Heaven Is A Place On Earth," "(We Want) The Same Thing," "Leave a Light On," and "Summer Rain" (it is outrageous how many times I have played those songs, almost unbelievable).

[@Our80sLife]

So good! We already have a couple of her albums, so we passed on the Record Store Day edition, but it was really cool. My favorite Belinda song is "Leave a Light On" and getting to see her sing it live last year on the cruise was fantastic! Did you know she performs barefooted?! It's the cutest thing ever!

[@btetschner]

@@Our80sLife That would have been so fun to be there when she played that song! I do remember you saying that she performs barefoot. After you said that I have a hard time imagining her wearing any shoes performing.

[@btetschner]

Have you ever listened to the album Chicago 19?

[@Our80sLife]

I don't recall if I've ever listened to that one in its entirety, but I see that it has "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love" which is a great ballad. The only album I had back in the day was Chicago 17 which I enjoyed back in the day... I should probably give it another listen!

[@btetschner]

@@Our80sLife I will check out Chicago 17 :)

[@themeanhornet1070]

I lost all my albums when I headed off to boot camp and my kid brother went into a re-born phrase. All my albums were destroyed because of Satan. It wasn’t Satan out there in the Florida summer pushing a lawn mower to earn the money to buy them…

RIP :(

We probably would've said the same thing a few years ago. Our daughter got super into vinyl, and we teased her for it. Fast Forward to now... we bought a record player, and we're totally hooked. LOL!
