Japanese Vinyl Tag 2024 Vinyl Tag

[@tokyorecordstyle]

Bonjour Romuald! I just went on an amazing 3-day musical journey going through all your records for the #JapanVinylTag2024 challenge! I am exhausted but in the best way! Your selections rawked my world! Let me mention a few! Despite of course knowing of "Made in Japan" I don't think I had every actually listened to it before until now! It really does live up to the hype - what a high-energy performance, even the usually quite timid Japanese audience was feeling it! As I said before, adding that Carmen Maki to the collection at some point. I have some Tangerine Dream in my collection but not Phaedra so that was a nice first-time listen. Oh my god, nobody has answered the Go Go Go Godzilla question better than you - what an insane piece of music and concept- I really enjoyed! Again, Montrose I knew about, but this was a first time listen, and it was by this point that I was starting to think, "Ok, Romuald's a pretty heavy dude! I'm rocking pretty hard. Montrose shreds!" Kraftwerk admittedly wont work in my brain for some reason, I've been waiting for it to click my whole life - I might be too American for it. King Crimson, Johny Cash, and Rush all took me back-great revisits. Iaora Tahiti kinda like inviation to your wedding. Miles is in my rotation but listened anyway. Iron Maiden - I'll admit it - basically a first time listener - WAY mellower than I ever thought, that was a great little discovery, I will be less averse to them in the future, for sure! Hawkwind, also first time, and enjoyed - I think the last track especially. Knock on wood had be boogie-ing. Vangelis I always love. And Wish You Were Here is my favorite Floyd, ...so super amazing listening experience! Really glad I got to know a little bit more about you through this! Thank you for taking your time and putting your effort into this. I really appreciate it! Let's stay connected moving forward! You have a friend in Japan!

You did all the work Brian. It would be a lie to say that I buckled down to this task, because your questions/topics were so inspiring that I came up with all the answers pretty quickly and easily. I'm really glad you enjoyed my entries, and thus able to learn about a good side of my musical universe 🙂 Cheers

Nice jobb with the Japan Vinyl Tag, I like Brian & you did a good job

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hey Ivan, good to see you over here, man! I'm glad you enjoyed my entries. Actually this tag was a really fun stuff to do 🙂 Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment, this is much appreciated 🙂

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Really great job on this. I have been casually looking for Phaedra, but I really should get it. I love that OMD record. Rush 👍 I enjoyed your answers.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Thank you very much Mister Brian 🙂I'm glad you enjoyed watching my entries. I don't need all of Tangerine Dream albums, to me Phaedra is ''the one''. Of course where would we be without our great Canadian trio 😎

[@vinylrichie007]

I was watching the Tokyo Record Style video. After about 20 minutes he was on the 2nd or 3rd question. I then noticed his video was 1 hour and 20 minutes. I said, hell no. I enjoyed your response.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

@@vinylrichie007 thanks Ritchie, i'm glad you enjoyed my entries. this was a really fun tag to do. I usually try to keep it under 15 minutes, but now with 20 questions/topics, it wasn't possible. Thanks for stopping by 😊

[@tokyorecordstyle]

Hey @vinylrichie007! Here's a (admittedly snarky) suggestion! How about spend less time bellyaching about how long the video is on other people streams, and use that time and energy into making your OWN list. As I've said repeatedly, do 1/2 of it. Do 1/10 of it. Do 1 question. Do SOMETHING besides "Hell No"-ing it ;-) Genuinely inquiring minds want to know what a vinylrichie007 contribution to the thread is! And while I'm here be snarky, let me also say THANK YOU FOR WATCHING and engaging with all the various #JapanVinylTag2024 videos! Join the fun by making your own. You can bellyache directly to me on your video!

[@vinylrichie007]

@@tokyorecordstyle I never said I wasn’t going to do a response.

[@tokyorecordstyle]

@@vinylrichie007 Well, I dare you to make one ...and you did say on another video: "I may do this but I’ll most likely make up a lot of stuff. His video was long." and then just to make sure we got the memo you commented again: "I may do this but I’ll most likely make up a lot of stuff. His video was long. Cypress Hill with an orchestra sounds horrible." kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4Kbi4KVas13rsk Anyway, C'mon! If the legendary Vinyl Richie made a #JapanVinylTag Video, it would be the biggest boon! All punk maybe? Would give the tag some instant street cred! I'm sure you can't be bothered ...but if you did, I'm sure we'd all be floored.

[@seekingathread]

Really dug these questions Romuald, and your answers just as much. I may take a stab at this since I found these pretty inspiring for my own collection. I recognize that Blues Creation lp!

[@frenchvinyladdict]

I'm not the big vinyl tag guy TBH, though I found that one inspiring too. Looking forward to your entries, Dom 😊

Burlington, Vermont has always had a vibrant music scene. Especially the jam band scene.

@frenchvinyladdict For sure. Phish were out of Burlington as well as a favourite of mine, Strangefolk. Lots of great bands play in the clubs there.

[@benrankins4446]

I feel like you often say I've just got back from a holiday 😂 That Gene Clark record is fantastic. I love Phaedra and have many Tangerine Dream records...and Kraftwerk! I juts got the Mofi of Folsom Prison. Am I the only one who likes the first two Iron Maiden records better than all of the rest? Afreaka I have looked at many times but never picked up. That was epic Romuald and you did a great job. Cheers...Ben

[@frenchvinyladdict]

You're right, so we are French people, either on strike or on holiday 😅🤣The first two Iron Maiden were solid records, I can only agree though I do have a soft spot for The Number Of The Beast (as it is the very 1st Maiden record that I've ever bought when I was 16y old). Let me know if you have hard time getting ahold of a specific record in AUS which can be easily found over here. This is what a community is all about 🙂Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed my entries, take care 🙂

Hey Ben ! Oui en effet, Brian le gars qui a pondu les questions de ce tag est un américain qui vit depuis une 20aine d'années dans la capitale japonaise, il en a même fait un chaîne KZbin. J'ai trouvé les questions sympas, du moins je n'ai pas du réfléchir très longtemps avant d'y associer à chacune une album de ma collection, je me suis donc dit.. go for it 🙂 Merci de ton passage ici, bientôt la communauté internationale sera ''introduite'' avec Mister Vinyl Mood 😉

[@tokyorecordstyle]

Romuald!!! DUDE, I've spent the last 2 days sinking my teeth into some other contributions, knowing in the back of my head, excitedly, that this video is waiting for me. I just wanted to acknowledge your effort and share my gratitude (THANK YOU) and say I'm diving in from today and will be blasting it out as best I can in the coming days! I really am enjoying deeply absorbing these, and taking the time needed to let them sink it. So, let me me spend some virtual time and attention with your list and circle back! Already looks AMAZING! Thank you, Romuald! I'll be back!

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hey Brian! As I have already answered to some comments, this was a really fun tag to do. Really nice questions/topics, I didn't hesitate a second in throwing myself into it 🙂

[@tokyorecordstyle]

@@frenchvinyladdict I’m listening to all your records at work. I’m through Deep Purple, Carmen Maki (which I’m really dug), and Gene Clark. Now onto the Scorpions! This is the best part of doing this #JapanVinylTag2024! I’m getting to know you through listening to your recommendations, and by googling and wiki-ing, I’m leveling up my musical knowledge. Sooo cool! Definitely putting this Carmen Maki on my radar! Thanks again and more feedback and comments coming soon! Hope you’re having a great day and thanks again!

[@nicksvinylbutty5488]

So you don't have to show all japanese records for your answers ??? I have a few records from Japan. Great tag video Rom 👍👍👍

[@tokyorecordstyle]

Hey Nick! Not only do you NOT have to show all Japanese records, you needn't even DO all the questions. Choose 10 or 5 or 3 or fewer. Just join the fun in any way manageable if you wish! Hello from Tokyo!

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hey Nick! Good to see you over here, mate 🙂 In fact, Brian made it so it could be feasible and accessible for as many vc friends as possible. Thanks for your kind words, take care ;-)

[@calvinwazoo]

Wow! You're the first person I've seen show the Japanese press of Made in Japan! I have a copy as well! Guess I won't be showing that one if I hop on this thread. Also not often to see someone show Tangerine Dream. I've watched a couple videos in this thread, 20 questions is a lot! Kind of Blue is definitely an excellent choice for a rainy day.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hi and welcome to my channel, I'm glad you enjoyed my entries. The Japanese press of Deep Purple's Made In Japan record is one of my prized possessions. Thanks for watching and for taking to time to leave a comment. This is much appreciated. I'll watch your tag if you ever decide to hop on 🙂

Romuald, une vraie question, sans ironie...Quel genre de souplesse d'esprit faut-il avoir pour faire le grand écart entre exhiber dans le même plan fixe de ta vidéo la pochette du premier disque d'un proto boys band suédois mainstream et un livre érudit sur le , être aussi aimable à autrui que tu puisses discuter avec intégrité et jovialité avec deux youtubeurs vinyles aussi contradictoires que Monsieur Vinyle et le des musiques hardcores et expérimentales ? 😊 [Sinon, questions et réponses intéressantes pour ce tag nippon]. Eugène aka UnCingléSublime.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Bonjour Eugène, je reconnais, avec le recul, que le choix du décor s'est un peu fait à la hâte. Petite correction, ils étaient, si je ne m'abuse, norvégiens 😉ce qui ne change pas grand chose au point que tu soulèves, il faut bien l'avouer. Pour tenter une réponse à ta question, je dirais mon côté fédérateur, peut-être ? Merci pour ton retour, toujours apprécié.

[@eugenestephane6714]

@@frenchvinyladdict Oui Norvégiens pas Suédois...Impardonnable parce que j'ai une certaine passion pour ce groupe. Mais tu affiches la pochette de leur seul (très) mauvais disque.

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Jumped on your video R straight away.... 'Made in Japan' yes! Good Gene Clark album there, and can't argue with 'Phaedra'. That German album looks like a Stockhausen one (I have a few of those, and they're 'out there'!). 'Folsom Prison' is amazing, isn't it? It is so 'electric'.; the energy is tangible. I have that Hawkwind album too, but completely forgot about how the gatefold opens up! As for Vangelis, in English we pronounce it with a hard 'G'. Another great video. Well done.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Hey David, thank you for the quick handling 😄I am not the big vinyl tag guy, though I have had fun doing this one, mainly because Brian's questions/topics were so inspiring that I didn't need to reflect too long before coming up with all my answers. Folsom Prison is IMHO a true definition of what a ''live recorded piece'' is. Can't argue with ''Zeit'' either (that could have been my choice too), though I don't have any physical format of this one yet. Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated 🙂Take care, ++

Oh, I haven’t heard that Blues Creation album. I have the Demon and Eleven Children one which is very heavy. I love that Animal Magnetism album! It might be my favourite post Uli Jon Roth album. I’ve always loved mixed tapes. That later became mixed CDs, mixed MDs, and now playlists. I prefer my playlists to be 80 minutes long. I used to love the 90-minute cassette, but I prefer a playlist that I can burn to CD is I ever feel like it these days. Great choice with Moving Pictures! Surprising but great! Iron Maiden’s debut is among my top three favourite Iron Maiden albums. I’ve been thinking to listen to that Hawkwind recently because I haven’t for about ten years!

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Demon and Eleven Children is a good one too. Funny enough, both albums were released in '71, literally one soon after the other. When I traveled to France/Germany last May, I bought myself a copy of Blues Creation - Live! which is a double-LP set recording of several performances precisely in the year 1971 that was already available on CD, but had never been released on vinyl before. It includes songs from these two albums.
