ALL MY ORIGINAL PRESSING SMITHS VINYL: my current 'the smiths' vinyl collection 2020 + future plans

[@kirawasadiver]

thanks everyone for watching!!! is anyone as obsessed with owning all the vinyl of a particular band as i am with the smiths??

[@KzzZ88]

Amazing collection of original gems to get off your auntie! Would love to see a Cure version of this video of what she gave you! The Cure would be my "NEEEED all the vinyl" band lol

[@mistery-ed7900]

I have a bunch of artists that I have a LOT of.Usually getting everything isn't something I do because there are live performances that aren't as good as the studio stuff. There's bootleg albums etc.. Anyways I have over 20 Coltrane LPs, every studio album by Velvet Underground. All The Beatles, all the albums by Beat Happening...should I continue? No...too many!

[@kirawasadiver]

@@KzzZ88 THE CURE IS NEXT ON MY LIST!

[@kirawasadiver]

@@mistery-ed7900 yea i had to select a cut off date for the smiths vinyl i wanted to own, because you can own EVERYTHING ever released under the band's name but it gets ridiculous and is stuff that wouldn't add any more value to my collection. 20 coltrane albums - DAMN I'd like to just own one thanks!! hahaha and i also don't own any beatles which seems to be a weird stance in the vinyl community, but i just don't get much out of their music

[@veronikamaresova2154]

I’m obsessed with owning every vinyl by Led Zeppelin + bootlegs. :D

[@ajayjackson7727]

Love the The Smiths, seen them 26 times in the late 1980's when i was a young teenager, excellent band!

[@kirawasadiver]

TWENTY SIX TIMES? WHAT THE 😵😵😵

[@kentvonseverin1257]

That is amazing, you must be in the UK. I saw them five times here in Los Angeles ( and Irvine). What were the best gigs?

[@39Fanclub]

I've just recently started buying The Smiths vinyls, none of them are original prints though, since i wouldnt even know where to start on getting them. But just having my favourite albums physically in my house is miles better than just streaming songs online, I really enjoy it. Hope you find your Rank soon! :D

[@MikeGuitarPlayer07]

Fantastic showings my friend! Now I know what to look for in my Smiths journey! Thanks! All the best!

[@kirawasadiver]

thank you!! love the vinyl collecting journey 😍😍

[@glenneil3569]

Love the fact you have a Led Zep shirt on and showing your Smiths albums. So nice to see other people with diverse music interests

[@AG-io5wr]

Love this and the radio behind you.

[@MonieMuse]

This came up in my feed and it’s so perfect for me at the moment. I just started my smiths collection.

[@stephanx2384]

I am a follower of your other channel and generally a hard rock and metal dude. However.....I also happen to be a huuuge fan of The Smiths and the Mozz in general. His "You Are The Quarry" album is epic. I was psyched to find out you like The Smiths! How awesome!

[@slorps6559]

big respect for openly saying in past videos that you don’t play a lot of your records on the turntable that much, i feel like a lot of people who are super duper into vinyl don’t get that a lot of people, like myself, like to mainly collect records because it’s nice to have a physical representation of the music and the artists that you love!

[@kirawasadiver]

That’s it, probably over half the reason I collect vinyl. There’s nothing wrong with that - I don’t really like people that have rules about what you need to do to be part of a community. That’s not a very welcoming community. There’s a lot of meaning with owning records passed down from my older relatives as well, as they’re the people that got me into this music in the first place

[@slorps6559]

kirawasadiver exactly, the sentimentality is something that i think isn’t appreciated enough. although i am currently in the process of buying a new better quality record player so that i’ll use my records for their intended purpose more often haha

[@kirawasadiver]

@@slorps6559 legit same thing man, i am saving up for a lp120 audio technica hahahah i feel like i can't go lp60 and post videos about my vinyl because i'm gonna get too many comments saying it'll wreck my records but that's alright, i'm happy with a 120 and keeping it forever

[@slorps6559]

kirawasadiver very nice, though one thing i would definitely want to recommend is to get the audio technica LP120X, not the LP120. the LP120X is basically the updated and better version of the LP120 but it’s like the same price as the LP120 so you wouldn’t be spending more money! The LP120X basically fixed all the problems that the LP120 had and it’s supposed to be amazing

[@kirawasadiver]

Sorry yes I meant the X! Definitely

[@marletetriestoread9112]

YOURE GETTING ME INTO VINYLS STOPPPPPP IT PLEASEE I CANT SPEND ANYMORE MONEY ON ANYTHING PLEASE 😂😂😂💕💕💕

[@kirawasadiver]

OOP SORRY NOT SORRY

[@Artureliox]

Once you've bought one, you're doomed.

[@alexbluemajor1765]

The world won’t listen is probably my favorite comp album i’m glad I bought it on vinyl.

[@iamandroid_joe3830]

There's tons of bootlegs....that are beautiful...that interview vinyl is one.....

[@kirawasadiver]

Morrissey’s face 😲😲😲

[@Lavagemstomacal]

pretty damn good collection

[@kirawasadiver]

Thanks , love my smiths vinyl!

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi nice to see your smiths collection I bought all the smiths albums and singles when they were first released however my son is such a fan that he has quite a few of my records .. thanks for sharing..

[@kirawasadiver]

I wish my dad would part with some of his! Unfortunately I don’t think I’m getting any of them for a while. Your son is very lucky!

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

I heard onAustralian pressings the A side and B sides are reversed since they're from the land down under. Pretty neat.

[@Kompis0]

Love that australian orange Stop Me.

[@bellecanread]

this was so cool to see 😮! love the random interview vinyl 😂. i only know like 3 of the smith’s songs, but they make me feel like i should be running when i listen to them bc they’re in my running playlist lmaooo 😅.

[@bellecanread]

also, i really love how you’ve combined book and vinyl talk on your channel haha 😄!

[@kirawasadiver]

aw great its always nice to hear that people love the combination like i do 💞the interview vinyl is the most random record i own in all of my existence hahaha. smiths makes me feel so good too, like i'm in a movie!

[@FLAVCO]

Nice collection. I have a large ever-growing collection of vinyl albums. Recently I started getting the Smiths albums. So far I have The Smiths, Meat is Murder, Hat full of Hollow, The Queen is Dead, Strangways Here We Come and Louder than Bombs. All brand new.

[@kirawasadiver]

wow that's great! all amazing albums. however, i dont think that there's a smiths that is bad. good luck on continuing to grow your smiths collection, all their covers are so beautiful!

[@FLAVCO]

@@kirawasadiver Yeah I can't wait to get "Rank" as I've always loved that album (the live version of Ask is just awesome plus it brings back memories of Amsterdam when I was there in 1990 - happy days 😊) I don't see any point in getting "The World Won't Listen" as I have already got most of those songs on Louder Than Bombs. I find it hard to believe that they were only around for a few yrs and only made four studio albums 😮

[@artemiorodriguez426]

Hola, I would love to have some vinyls of the Smiths myself. I must meet your Aunty! 😂 I am also a vinyl collector I have Elvis, Beatles etc... However since I live in South Texas RGV area not much of the Smiths is out here. So it’s like I’m looking for a needle in a hay stack. Thank you for sharing. 😇👍

[@comala27]

Great collection I need that Australian press single hard to get down where I'm from in the US. You're right about going into a rabbit hole with the Smith's singles it can get pretty expensive

[@kirawasadiver]

thank you very much! welcome to my world - in australia, where it's hard to get pretty much anything! haha i guard my smiths single with my life 💪

[@whatchatalkinboutwillis9894]

Hatful of Hollow I love it

[@marletetriestoread9112]

ALSO WHERE HAVE I LIVED IVE NEVER HEARD OF THE SMITHS

[@kirawasadiver]

have you seen 500 days of summer? hhahaha they make an appearance in the elevator scene

[@dai_halham]

hi, Kira! have you seen "The Many Faces Of - The Smiths" vinyl? somone told me those vinyl are bootleg. do you have the copy? or, maybe you have information about that. thanks. have a good day!

[@acidhouse3308]

Hi, Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me is a beautiful piece of music but personally i think the Smiths best track is How Soon Is Now. Everythingt about that track is perfect and the guitar sound is unique. The Smiths made loads of good tracks but How Soon Is Now is a timeless classic. Always enjoy your music related videos, thanks from England.

[@kirawasadiver]

how soon is now seems to be objectively the top smiths song. i really dooo love it - don't get me wrong! i love yelling 'i am human and i need to be loved', but i do have to say that There is a Light that Never Goes Out' is my absolute favourite smiths song. reason being that it is so relatable. i've never shown someone that song that hasn't fallen in love with it. it unites people of all different tastes!

[@casenanders758]

how did you find them? the ones i find are just so expensive

[@Sept1973]

Great video 👌🏽 great collection I absolutely love the smiths and have re started collecting original pressings they are literally so rare and i lose my shit when i find one 🤣

[@kirawasadiver]

i was given them all at once... what a crazy moment in my life hahah i'm forever grateful!

[@tenti3266]

hatful came out in 1984 not 1985 😿

[@josephb613]

Unless your copy of their self-titled debut has " This Charming Man" as the 6th track, you don't have the original studio version of that song, which is superior to the version on "Hatful of Hollow". I would recommend getting the 12" copy of "Thiis Charming Man" if you can find it.

[@39Fanclub]

It really sucks that not all printings have This Charming Man on them! I've really got to search for a single version since, as you said, the Hatful If Hollow recording just isnt as good.

[@cosybex8711]

my vinyl queen returns! such an impressive collection phew! i’m trying to think who would i choose to collect vinyl for? perhaps billy joel or eurythmics 👀 at the moment i’m collecting BTS’s albums in cd form so that’s a slightly different vibe to the smiths on vinyl 😅

[@kirawasadiver]

i am here, ready to serve my people 💁hahahahaah i LOVE that BTS vibe. literally still to listen to them because you and marlete never actually recommend me where to start but mention them ALL THE TIME

[@cosybex8711]

kirawasadiver a serve alright!! OH MY BAD OKAY LET ME SPILL SOME RECS! I think to get the full bts vibe I’d recommend a music video as choreography is a big part of kpop, so my fav music videos are mic drop and on (kinetic manifesto ver)! its so hard recommending songs bc they have such a range and i love ALL OF THEM but let’s go with house of cards, black swan and fake love 🥰

[@cosybex8711]

(i’m back to ask if you’ve given anything a listen, no pressure tho it’s cool cool cool) 💞

[@kirawasadiver]

@@cosybex8711 mic drop is like the best thing to hit this earth - can not believe i didn't know about this earlier UGH hhahah. unfortunately, most of their other stuff seems to be slower. i really like black swan, but apart from that i think i need to go with their more hard hitting stuff.

[@cosybex8711]

MIC DROP REMIX IS ELITE YASS I’M SO GLAD YOU THINK SO !! oof that’s so fair but they deffo have lots more fast songs in their discography! some which hit a 10 on the Richter scale for me are dionysus, fire (again choreo 🔥), outro: tear, ugh! and dope!! lmao so many recs IM SORRY ❤️❤️

[@mistery-ed7900]

You were talking about how the values of records can increase. I just looked at discogs and checked on the price for The Thirteenth Floor Elevators Easter Everywhere album in mono and being a promo.₤ 2000! I bought it for $20 in the 80's. I didn't even know it was rare, I just knew it was cool. My original Saturn label Sun Ra records are off the charts. A couple of them have hand made covers and are one of a kind. Values! Yikes!!

[@kirawasadiver]

WOW!!! lock all your doors! i hope one day i can have vinyl worth that much. it's time for me to start collecting hardcore once quarantine is over. also i have those Sun Ra documentaries saved and ready to watch one night when i have time.

[@mistery-ed7900]

Oh yeah..kirawasadiver. I was wondering what kind of diver you were? High diver? Deep sea diver? I thought of a couple of songs. Deep Sea Diving Suit by Magnetic Fields and Deep Sea Diver by Bat For Lashes. Oh...two more bands I've collected!

[@kirawasadiver]

it's from an interpol song - because really could you expect anything else from me? - 'stella was a diver and she was always down' on their debut album. i actually am deathly afraid of deep ocean hahaha. are magnetic fields any good? I've heard of them but never listened

[@mistery-ed7900]

@@kirawasadiver I like all their stuff up to 69 Love Songs. After that epic album it was all downhill. Try something like All The Umbrellas In London or Love Goes Home To Paris for an example.

Ok great thanks so much! Will try those albums out
