Episode 5: The official CD Tag 2025 from ‪

[@CDRabbitHole]

This is a real fun video/topic and great questions. Great looking music room as well!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Darryl!

You asked for Dylan and you got it 😊. You qualify as a national registry for Dylan’s musicography. Is that a word? Loved that unique cd dashboard packaging. My first cd player was a Denon too but probably not as high up the chain. Sounded beautiful. I’ve assembled my cds for this stay tuned 😊

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Greg! It may be a word but I took a pas on Dylan's 3 songbook alums and his Christmas album. See Sam or Glen for true completists. I will be watching. Cheers!

I came to Dylan too late to ever fully appreciate all those box sets, but I still want them! 😆Cool entry, cheers Steve!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Scott! Some of those box sets can still be had, and for a lot less than what I paid for them. Cheers!

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Hey Steve..just seeing this..thank you..that Waterboys set looks amazing..Grand Funk Live is a classic live album..I am drooling over that Rory set..Can’t have enough Bob..He is THE GOAT…I still haven’t picked the Dylan and The Band set..awesome stuff Steve..you are the best❤❤👍glen

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Glen! Yes, glad I pulled the trigger on that immediately, as it sold out fast. I know Randy was bummed he missed out on it. "Bald guys for Rory". When I think of Bob I think of you. Cheers and thanks!

[@rallstonianmusicreport1975]

Nice job on the Glen's CD Tag. I'll definitely look for Pacific Sound on KZbin. That Rory Gallagher box set looks incredible and the Cathy Richardson cd case design is really cool!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Steve!

[@EmbryonicRobot]

That was an expensive CD player! You have an impressive Dylan CD collection. That was a very cool CD package.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Brian!

[@briankessler3501]

My Bob collection pales in comparison to yours, Steve and always thought had a shitload myself. Bravo. Making up for lost time w/new posts. Five up in five days, double bravo.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Brian! Lots to catch up with tag, contests, threads, etc, so yes, I'll be busy for a couple weeks. Cheers!

[@MortenAastad]

Splendid entry and video, as always Steve. Would love to get that Waterboys box one day, looks great. Cheers from Morten

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Morten!

while you were off the air (so to speak) I started a series of videos (on CWTAE) looking at the 3rd to 6th studio releases by a band, and my first one was on Supertramp. That run of albums from Crime of the Century through Crisis, Moments and Breakfast in America was simply stellar. Not a bad album among them. A hugely underrated band in my opinion 🙂

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Nick! I will head over and watch that now. Cheers!

[@onmyturntable7036]

My first CD player was around the '84 time frame as well. Paid maybe around $500 or so, and it was as big as my mom's dining room table! Not surprised with the size and breadth of your CD collection, Steve. I have been selling off my CD'S online for a while now, but keeping some choice box sets, and all my Dylan. Rollling Thunder Review is up there for me. I love that galloping, foot stomping version of 'A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall'.😎🎶

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Ed! Interesting you're selling off your CD's when many others seem to be buying more of that format. Are you freeing up space or focusing on one format? Cheers!

[@onmyturntable7036]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob A little of both, actually. Just about all of my CD's are stored digitally (and backed up!), and as my ebay page can attest, CDs are still sought after by many music collectors. So, a little extra $$ in the bank and space in the house!

[@richards5280]

Hey Steve- people thought my 122 Gary Numan CDs was a crazy number- pales greatly to your Dylan collection 😲….but then you DO have almost 4x the number of CDs than I have! Your lost vinyl story reminds me of a Sam Kinison comedy bit where he sings a song about breaking up- one line is ‘I WANT MY RECORDS BACK! I WANT MY F--G RECORDS BAAAACK! 😆 Cheers-R

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Richard! I used to be bitter about losing that collection, but I had to let it go, and now it only pops in my mind when doing a video like this. But I agree with Sam. Cheers!

[@thomaswery3087]

So I take it you like Dylan lol.Nice presentation Steve very interesting

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Thomas! Some of it I can't listen to (first 4 albums where its just him and a guitar), but like any artist with that big of a discography, there will be highs and lows. Cheers!

[@thomaswery3087]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob I don't have as much Dylan as you but I have more than enough good artist great songwriter for sure,but I have to be in the mood

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Hey Steve. Welcome back. Just subbed. Great video. Love Ian Hunter, saw him live a few times, once when he and Mick Ronson were together. Dylan! Cheers

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Thanks Bobby! I saw him with Mick in 79, and a number of times since then. Thanks for the sub. cheers!

[@RandyforRoyals]

Great box set. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the set but luckily Amazon gave me the download while I was on the waiting list before I was finally told it was unavailable. So I have been able to listen to it and it is great. Will probably put it on CD-R's eventually. I really like that CD design you chose. I might have to say ditto to the question on most CD's by an artist but you do have a few more Dylan sets as I am missing a few. Nice response.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Randy! Sorry you missed out on 'TITS' (I did not realize that was the acronym for the album until I just typed it out), but glad Amazon gave you a download. I'll be laughing at that all day. Cheers!

[@JackTheMusicGuy]

4500 cds holy!!! i think i have around 200 so far, Bob is actually one of the few artist were i listened to all 40 of his album i think blood on the tracks is my favorite from him. also saw the movie "a complete unknown" that was very good!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Jack! I'm 50 years older than you, so that works out to 90 CDs a year. Remember, I'm a stat guy. Cheers!

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Steve!!! So cool to see ypu did a pretty good response to Glen's Cd Tag.... Your Dylan collection is really impressive and hard to believe you don't have a spreadsheet with your collection..... btw just a small niemity, maybe you changed microphones but i can only hear you on the left channel!! cheers and be well

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hat Cristian! I didn't notice it on my end, but I recorded a video tour of my room per your request. LMK how that one sound. Cheers!

[@cristianosorio2517]

@@AisForAliceBisForBob don't know what's wrong, but it still sounds louder on my right channel....

[@mistery-ed7900]

Dylan! OMG!! Have you ever listened to all of those Dylan Live CDs?? A guy I trade CDs with has copied me more Dylan Live and Boots than I will ever play. I was slow to go to CDs. I never stopped buying records and I stuck with cassettes well into the 90's. When I finally bought a car with a CD player (1997!) I finally gave up on tapes.

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Hey Mr. Ed! I have listened to all of those, but I only did like 3 at a time. I don't think I bought any vinyl from 1987 until 2018. Cheers!
