David Bowie Vinyl Collection

[@daydreamcon]

2:57 “I only have the essentials.” *pulls out gigantic stack of David Bowie records* That part made me laugh so hard😂😂

[@shecklesmack9563]

Hey, not sure if you know but I just found out there were only 2000 green Earthling vinyls released. I thought mine was just how it came until I saw someone on Reddit mention it. Quite expensive these days.

[@merlussaoficial]

It makes me very happy to see young people talking passionately about the true music that builds worlds

[@TheRyanos]

Amazing video mate, love it. David Bowie is also by far my all time favourite artist, no one comes even close. I am also busy collecting all of his albums on vinyl (well not all of them but let's say 80% of it). First one I bought was The Man Who Sold The World, simply because it's one of my favourite albums of his (besides, it has the most beautiful album cover out of all). The dark and gritty tone of it, the guitar centred hard rock sound to it in combination with the strange lyrics make it one of my favourites. I really find it hard to believe that that album wasn't a commercial success back then.

[@kallesvedjeman6739]

Thank You for a very nice video! I have been a Bowie collector for almost 30 years now. I agree with Your pick of "Heroes" as the best song ever! I was lucky to see him live six times. I was devastated when he died, and I still miss him very much. Give Your sweet dog a hug from me! Kind regards, Kalle in Sweden

[@VinylCollectorJames]

quite an amazing collection there James, impressive. To think you've covered a 50 year recording career in the span of 12 months is pretty amazing, especially considering the demand for his albums these days is at an all time high. You got me beat as I don't have a few of these comps and soundtracks. No rush to get them and I'm in a good place with Bowie stuff. It was fun to see them all though so you got a lifetime of listening there to enjoy. Cheers James

[@PirateNovelist]

I've only recently started watching your videos. Fun to watch. With videos like this i learn far more than I thought I knew. You've shed some light on some things I didn't know about Bowie so now I have some things to put on my radar haha.

[@TimLeeSongs]

Another fantastic video! LOVE Bowie. I would say Bowie and Paul Simon are my joint favourite artists of all time. I also love the silliness of the Laughing Gnome haha!

[@rockboy680]

Tim Lee thanks mate :) well one of them two I agree with a lot. Lol. Take care mate

[@blachubear]

Great video. I love "Never Let Me Down". When that came out I graduated from High School and went to college 2 weeks later. I bought the cassette and love it. I'm sorry people didn't appreciate it. I'm surprise you didn't get "Absolute Beginners" 12 inch or the soundtrack since Bowie did two or three songs on there.

[@lucasstanley3604]

great video very lucky to have all of his albums I'd love to see more videos like this keep it up!

[@MrGoldenJones]

Thank you very much for this video, awesome collection! David Bowie is my favourite artist, I have all his records on vinyl except his 90s work. And a really good video, you are my favourite youtuber of all time! I don't know who the dislikers are, but they can do as Duncan Jones told cancer to do.

[@rockboy680]

SeBuListA1337 thanks mate :) really appreciate it. Haha. The dislikes don't bother me. Haha :) I just take notice of the likes. Haha :) thank you so much again. Take care mate

[@CookieMusic43]

Very nice video but you are missing a few essentials. Apart from the live albums that have recently been released there are two studio albums which you can only get as bootlegs. Buddha Of Suburbia from 1993 (better than Black Tie White Noise). It is billed as a soundtrack but in "reality" it is a full blown proper Bowie album and "Toy" the unreleased album from 2001. It leaked onto the net in 2011 and the bootleggers had a field day. It includes a few new songs (2 of which ended up on Heathen) but the majority were recrecordings of his 1960's songs and yes, Silly Boy Blue was on it too! Another disc you should try and hunt down is the Baal EP which was released on 12" and 7". This was from a TV play in 1982, an adaption of Bertolt Brecht's Baal featuring 5 songs.

[@RossGoodallMusic]

really informative video. I'm just starting out collecting his albums and so far my favorites are Station To Station and Lodger. Thanks

[@rockboy680]

Ross Goodall thanks mate. Surprised but pleased to see lodger there. People are to harsh in that one. Take care mate

[@AnthonyKiyola]

Great collection. My favourites are Ziggy Stardust, Low, Station to Station, Aladdin Sane, Lodger, Man Who Sold the World, Heroes, and Blackstar.

[@cashc4434]

I would love if they reissued the 90s albums on vinyl honestly

[@DodgerFanAD_23]

Brilliant intro James , and good idea on a video !

[@rockboy680]

DarkHorse17 thanks mate. Take care

[@cvc1]

I love Tin Machine, seriously rockin!.. Hey bud, in case you're not aware, it's best to remove the shrink rap from your records because they can warp your records do to how tight the wrapping can be.. It might take many years but it does happen.. Nice video..

[@bowiestones1]

James, top stuff, Something you may want to check out is the very rare, we"ll EMI reissued it with the 1999 remastered CD's, is David Bowie - Original Soundtrack - Christiane F. Wir kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo, amazing blend of Heroes/Helden is a highlight. Original HQ vinyl is tough too find but the running order makes it an awesome way to experience the 'Berlin Period'. Also the restored running order / full set versions of David Live and Stage from 2002 are worthwhile immersions. Bowie at the Beeb 2cd i feel is more worthwhile than the rehashed Deram/Decca compilations, it's shows growth and Mick Ronson. A 3CD version features Radio Sessions [Live at the BBC Radio Theatre, 6.27.2000] as an additional value, It's great. The Ryko Disc Reissues from 1990 onward offer a couple of gems, Space Oddity has 3 additional trks, 2 of them being Memory of a Free Festival, where Ronson plays for the first time, when he kicks in you can hear the future.. And check out Dallas Moonlight 1983.05.06, rehearsal recording for the Serious Moonlight Tour with Stevie Ray Vaughn on lead, before the disagreement over money, of which Stevie and Bowie knew nothing of, it was a "between Managers piece of business". I can't imagine how cool that tour would have sounded with SRV at full noise through that rig. Earl Slick was perfect though. Getting too know Bowie's Sidemen/Collaborators is an interesting exercise, he worked with the finest musicians/talents of the age, on each of his albums, someone spectacular want's to play with/for him. Pete Townshend's contribution on Slow Burn on Heathen is a throw back to the greatness of early The Who... The first book on Bowie my sister bought me for my birthday before seeing Glass Spider in Nov 1987, called Alias David Bowie by Peter and Leni Gillman, it's probably inaccurate these days, but there are plenty of interesting books/encyclopedias etc to read from. Oh yep finally Santa Monica 72' Official release 2008.06.30 EMI - Ziggy in America...

[@Beatlevinyl85]

Hi James! Very nice and interesting David Bowie Vinyl collection. I love the albums Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust. I also enjoy the last album "Blackstar". I'll have to look for Aladdin Sane on vinyl. I love the cover too and Jean Jeanie is one of my favorite Bowie songs. I also like most of his later stuff too. I enjoyed this Bowie collection video James. Thanks for sharing! Take care!

[@rockboy680]

Beatlevinyl85 Thanks mate. I'd probably recommend picking up all of the Bowie albums. Lol. He really is one of the best. Haha. Take care mate

[@new_mercury5367]

intro was great! great run through I'm a big fan of let's dance etc (basically the albums everyone gets at!) In fact I've just stuck Never Let Me Down on! take care Paul

[@rockboy680]

new mercury thanks mate. Let's dance is an incredible album. Never let me down people do pick on to much I think. Haha. Take care mate

[@new_mercury5367]

rockboy680 my eldest son sings Jean Genie all the time (he's 4!)

[@norberthaftekmusic]

Lodger is my favourite album by Bowie!

[@BenSimpson1998]

Hey James, really enjoyed this video, taught me a lot about his discography. Thanks for making it :)

[@rockboy680]

Ben Simpson cheers Ben. Would highly recommend picking some of these up. Take care mate

[@Vaisin]

Hey there! Let me tell you that your channel is amazing and you are really good at recording and explaining things on your videos, congratulations and keep on! I'm a big Bowie fan as well even though I only got his first David Bowie record, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and ''Heroes'' on vinyl and then Blackstar on CD. Great collection yours!

[@Bellhelly]

I love The Laughing Gnome ,its fun.

[@PoliceBoy465]

Very impressive. And I thought I had a lot of Bowie vinyl

[@mikewest1542]

Loved your video as I myself am a massive Bowie fan ,the World of David Bowie also has Bowie with curly hair on the cover. I have about 3 /4 copies of each of the classics Space Oddity to Scary Monsters, also if you've got the money try Ziggy Stardust 40th anniversary vinyl/DVD , its terrific sounding. I also see you resisted buying the Five Year vinyl box set , very pricy , keep up the good work !

[@rockboy680]

Mike West thanks mate. I'll have to look out for that now I think. As complete as I am I still know there is a lot to get yet for me. Take care mate

[@АлександърАлександров-р5т]

Great video! So jealous of that collection. 😃Keep up the great work! Cheers!

[@rockboy680]

Александър Александров thanks mate. Take care

[@poppytom5540]

I thought you were gonna kill that dog in the George Harrison box set video.

[@rockboy680]

Tyler Sovelove haha. I'd never really do anything to her. Lol. She's my best friend. Haha. Sounds so cheesy. Lol. Take care mate

[@EpicGamer-nt9or]

rockboy680 do your eric clapton viynl collection

[@leemaloney8527]

nice intro james there gettin better bowie is the man you said in your last review yer gettin more into dylan would love some of yer thoughts on him coz he is the man in my opinion cheers james

[@rockboy680]

Lee Maloney thanks mate. I have a dylan review coming soon which you may be interested in then. Take care

[@richardpandolfo4204]

I just came across your video and really enjoyed it. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I heard a song by Bowie some years ago on the radio but did not catch the title of the song. I remember that the lyrics included the line "She's the living end" several times. Can you tell me which album this track is on?

[@nathanalexander576]

Great video James! Aladdin Sane would have to be my favourite. Take care

[@rockboy680]

Nathan Alexander thanks mate. Yer that's def a contender for me to. Take care

[@mrbtlespro2489]

Great video!! The hit off the tonight lp was Blue Jean when it was released on 45 it came out on blue vinyl in a picture sleeve

[@rockboy680]

Mr Btlespro thanks mate :) that's cool. I'll have to look out for it. Take care

[@lollystardust]

It's a really nice collection, thanks for sharing! =)

[@emjel-yi9eg]

Just replaying your video - you did well to collect the majority of that in a year. Prices on some of the rarer stuff are quite high, especially on the internet, so did you find that you paid more than you really wanted to just to get the collection or did you strike lucky and find them at fairs etc. for more favourable prices.

[@BM-mw4nv]

As far as his 80s albums go I think let's dance is his best, modern love is a great song

[@rockboy680]

Everything In the World thanks mate. I can't argue as I do love that album. lol. Take care

[@BM-mw4nv]

Although I Do Think His Overall Best Is Ziggy Stardust, So Many Great Songs

[@LaBolsadePan]

Love the video friend, one question and sorry for my non knowledge but do your albums are sealed (new) or you just put a plastic bag on them, thanks

[@bmxseeker6780]

hey nice Bowie collection , I think your dog mazey is getting more interested in music as well , but very cool video of albums, I do have audio tape concert of Bowie that they broadcasted live on his last tour that I recorded off the radio , there an interview before concert where Bowie says when he tours he carrys a big bag of books with him , he liked to read I guess , and the interviewer asked him , " you have had a lot of personas thru the years ,which persona do you have now " and Bowie said really quick , 'Jim Morrison , then he laughed and said , " oh wait that's someone else" , the song he opened the concert after the interview was rebel rebel , , yes yes I did enjoy thanks for sharing , did I hear you correctly , it sounded like you said you were born in 1970 ????? , really cool Bowie albums , this is ground control to major tom , you,ve really made the grade , thanks & Rock On

[@purplestardust]

I am hunting for that Ziggy Stardust record! It's my favorite Bowie album! I'm glad to have the CD though!

[@finroe6089]

Where do you get your sleeves? Great video by the way as always ;)

[@mazoku6793]

Haha! I really liked that intro!

[@benjamin45554]

such a cool collection 😀😀🎤🎤

[@lucasstanley3604]

Ziggy stardust and the spiders from Mars is my favourite album of his followed by hunky dory.

[@emjel-yi9eg]

Great collection although I have never really been able to get into Bowie. I have a couple of compilations and Lets Dance, but that's it. Not sure if he is an acquired taste - on the back of your video, I have dipped in and out of a few albums via Qobuz, but on first hearings on a few early albums, nothing is really leaping out. Yes there are a few tracks, but cannot get inspired to buy any albums - maybe I need to hear the whole album, but not sure I can afford to commit. Funny how different artists connect straight away, whilst others do not.

[@rockboy680]

emjel that's a shame but hey ho we can't all agree to like the same artists. I'm not sure I'd say he is a required taste because of his popularity but if your not a big fan your not a big fan. There are plenty of popular artists I don't like either so it's understandable. Take care mate

[@emjel-yi9eg]

rockboy680 Hello James - thanks for your comments. I wondered if he was an acquired taste as opposed to "required" taste. You have certainly built up quite a collection for someone so young, unless you're Dorian Gray in disguise. Like you, I'm also into The Beatles, but also Elvis in a very big, but both of those artists are virtually exhausted, so perhaps I need to find another artist to collect as a challenge. I was trying to figure out a way to send you a PM or email, but cannot see anything around here that enables that - maybe it's a wood/trees thing. Can you drop me an email at [e-mail] as I am interested in how you got the Collecting bug. Cheers.

[@rockboy680]

emjel cheers mate. Well there's a good example of a popular artists who I can't get into there with elvis. Lol. I'd probably recommend either collection ELO next as they really picked up where the Beatles left of or Eric clapton as he has that classic rock sound as well mixed with blues. Plus his albums are amazing. Lol. I'll prop you an email when I get some free time mate. I'll keep it in mind though :) take care

[@HaydenEpp]

My dream is to have all of his records. I have four as of today since I just got Heathen. Diamond Dogs is my personal favourite.

[@emjel-yi9eg]

Out of curiosity, what percentage of your collection contains recent releases as opposed to original ones. I understand some have been reissued this month, which I assume are straight copies of the 1969-74 Box Set. Obviously the book and a couple of other albums are bonuses with the box.

[@rockboy680]

emjel for Bowie it's mostly originals and for most of my artists I try to get originals as well.

[@alexconway4950]

You have a very impressive collection for a 23 (?) yr old. did you start collecting at weening stage?!

[@daytripper9222]

I was lucky enough to get to see bowie on his station to station tour. Excellent show. Have you heard the live 1972 show?

[@rockboy680]

day tripper I can imagine how awesome that was. Lol. I have herd of it. Haven't seen any footage though. Take care

[@daytripper9222]

I should have added that you did an awesome job on this video. I just picked up ziggy stardust and aladdin sane. I think you just gave me the push i needed to start picking up more bowie.

[@garrold7123]

3:06 aAAAH why did you staple them like that?!

[@ALethalPredator]

[@rockboy680]
