Hey Romuald, very cool that you took part in the German Vinyl Challenge! I was also very pleased to meet you in Karlsruhe and have a drink with you. You've chosen some very nice records, exciting! Story for your video on social media is out and I've seen that you've already uploaded your video to the GVC 2024 playlist on KZbin. If anyone would like to take part in the challenge, please contact me. Channels worldwide are invited. Contact in the bio. Best regards Timo Vinyl & …

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hey Timo! Thank you so much for inviting me to participate in this cool challenge. I know, it took me quite a time to ''deliver'', though I had some fun doing it 🙂 And sure, I will let you know if a VC friend is willing to take up the GVC 2024 👍 Liebe Grüsse aus Montréal, FVA

[@theheepster]

Hallo Romuald, interesting answers to the questions. I'm a bit jealous that you met my favorite guitarist Uli Jon Roth. In my opinion, it was the best phase of the Scorpions. But I can brag about personal meetings and autographs from Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone. The Zombies played together with Uriah Heep in Hannover in 2018. Greetings from Hannover, Manfred.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hallo Manfred, Agreed! My favorite era of Scorpions too ;-) I'm glad you enjoyed my entries, thanks for being such a loyal audience, even on my streams, this is appreciated! Liebe Grüsse aus Montréal, FVA

[@the-vinyl-dreamscape5084]

Thanks for translating. Sadly, most Americans struggle to understand our own language (And yes, I include myself in that category). But great questions all around. Very interesting to hear that Annen May Kanter. I’ll check them out. And I could not agree more about the Zombies. Lots of great music to discover from that band. Cheers. Shawn

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hey Shawn, thanks for being such a loyal audience 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed my entries. Agreed, some members of the German VC have very interesting channels, and they came up with great questions.

[@alltheworldsastage899]

Hey FVA! I enjoyed watching your picks, but not sure I can find the time to do this one myself. Cheers!

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hey Steve, I know...and it took me quite a time to do this challenge myself. This ''project'' has been in the pipeline for weeks, but I never got around to it since we went on this trip to Europe. My german VC friends invited me to take part in the development of questions/topics of this challenge, so I had to a roll-up the sleeves and get the video done. Thanks for watching,. Looking forward to July's MGK Party ;-)

[@TheVinylRecordMission]

Fantastic Video FVA! That’s a beautiful DSOTM rarity! Can I pre order your Christmas record 😂. You have the best straight face sense of humor in the biz. I split my shorts when you said thoughts of French Football Team depresses you. 😂 And you said it with a straight face! Great albums you shared. Those Revolver editions you shared are killer! Always enjoy watching your videos buddy! Take care! Steve

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Thank you Steve, I'm glad you enjoyed my entries (and found fun some of them 😁) These questions allowed to talk about some of the topics I don't often address in my videos, so pretty interesting experience. I hope that you are well, thanks for watching, Take care, FVA

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Fascinating. Excellent DSOTM pressing. I can answer yes to question 5! Very interesting questions.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Thank you Brian for watching this video and commenting while on vacations. I have no doubt you would do an excellent job taking up this challenge's question😊

[@franciskocher200]

J'y étais avec un pote a ce concert de Uli au Grillen.Fantastique.😄👍

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Un super moment en effet, il y avait beaucoup de guitares sur la petite scène et il était resté presque 1 heure avec nous après avoir joué pour signer des autographes.

[@franciskocher200]

@@frenchvinyladdict Il est passé 2 fois en l'espace de 2 ans au Grillen...Une fois pour la tournée Scorpions revisited ou il n'a joué que des morceaux de Scorpions et l'année suivante pour jouer des morceaux qui survolaient toute sa carriere.Sur une période de 3 ans je l'ai vu 5 fois en concert.5 concerts exceptionnels.Et toujours disponible apres les concerts. Il parle d'ailleurs tres bien le francais.

[@filosphere]

Parmi ces groupes que je connais et possède, quelques pépites potentiels se sont glissées qu'i m'ont bien intrigué, comme Variations & the Zombies. J'ai adoré la question 6 et sa réponse ! Je suis étonné que tu ne nous aies pas présenté Jane, puisque tu as semblé très enthousiaste à leur sujet récemment. Au fait les as-tu tous, ou bien il t'en manque ?

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Bonjour Filo, et merci pour ton retour. Pour te dire la vérité, ce challenge j'aurais déjà voulu le faire fin avril avant mon voyage en France, mais voilà j'ai été très pris par le temps ces derniers mois, donc les réponses étaient déjà prêtes depuis longtemps et je tenais à parler du groupe AnnenMayKantereit, surtout que la question (dont je suis moi-même à l'origine) précise qu'il s'agit d'un groupe de la scène allemande actuelle. Non, les Jane je ne les ai pas tous, il y a en a une 15aine sans compter les albums solos, les side-projects et autres issus des reformations succèssives qui ne réunissaient pas forcément tous les membres d'origine. Et oui pour la question 6, il aurait difficile de faire autrement, ce n'est pas dans ma nature de dénigrer une oeuvre, donc l'auto-dérision m'a sauvé sur ce coup-là

[@KS-yy2fu]

Hi Romuald, can't wait until christmas😂. Your release will definetly replace my Bob Dylan christmas album. Enjoyed your presentation and story telling. Well done. Greetings from Germany Klaus

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hallo Klaus, I'm glad you enjoyed my entries as I tried to do credit to this cool German Vinyl Challenge 2024 😊Personally, I would keep the Bob Dylan record, believe me 😁Thanks for watching and for commenting, this is really appreciated, Liebe Grüsse zurück nach DE aus Montréal, FVA

[@KS-yy2fu]

@@frenchvinyladdict ok, I will try.... thx for directing me to nanador variations. Just streamed it. Killer band. The vinyl costs a fortune as far as discogs reveals. So I have to go for a cd copy unless I will find an afordable copy that suits my purse.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

@@KS-yy2fu The CD version of the Nador album is pretty affordable. They've made a reissue of this album on vinyl, but they were using(or making) a bad mastering, thus the sound quality suffered as a result.

[@METEORA89]

i want to hear the French Vinyl Addict album 😅 (for culture...)

[@frenchvinyladdict]

believe me, you don't want to 😅

[@jeanroblin7024]

Happy canada day

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Thanks Pinape 🙂
