Great video! Watched it again and want to leave a comment...thanks for the time "Danke fuer die Zeit" it takes to make videos - would be nice to get an update to see how your collection is evolving! Alles, Gute! Larry

[@PMajorTremblay]

Great video! love seeing and hearing those Jazz albums! Keep up the good work

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Patrick, thanks for watching and commenting :) Armien

[@PMajorTremblay]

Glad to Armien! Wanted to ask, what would be your all time top 10 Jazz / Blues albums? Just getting into them and would appreciate your opinion! Thanks

[@AudiophileLaws]

Very hard to say for Jazz this would be "must haves": Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Collosus Dave Brubeck - Time Out Getz / Gilberto Sonny Clarke - Cool Struttin' For Blues I can highly recommend: Muddy Waters - Folk Singer John Lee Hooker - The Healer Willie Dixon With Memphis Slim ‎- Willie's Blues Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign

[@PMajorTremblay]

Big thanks, I already have the Getz/Gilberto and its a fantastic album! I'll look for your recommendations!

[@TwentyTwenty90]

I have the Analogue Productions pressings of 'A Love Supreme' and 'Blues and the Abstract Truth' - undoubtedly two of the best albums I have ever heard on vinyl, thoroughly recommend!

[@AudiophileLaws]

I can imagine, Thomas! I am sure they sound ultra good. Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@TwentyTwenty90]

+AudiophileLaws You're the best Armien!

[@georgedoughly6344]

Thomas W Lucky! I really want the AP 45 RPM pressing of A Love Supreme!

[@ktor538]

Very cool this is refreshing, I'm writing down some of these to check out later.

[@billscherff2827]

Roy Hanes Out of the Afternoon on Impulse Super Fine One of my favorite Albums

[@MrLovell1971]

Oliver Nelson Stolen Moments can't forget that one sweet original find that track sells the album what a line up great grab VC buddy

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

Jazz is my primary vinyl focus, so I'm glad this video popped up in my search. Subscribed for sure. Interesting to see what people all over are spinning.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! Jazz is a wonderful genre indeed. There is still so much to discover! Feel free to take a look at my video about my Blue Note collection. Greetings from Germany! Armien

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

AudiophileLaws I will, At least half of my jazz Collection are Blue note reissues.

[@gpuppy1234]

Wow nice White Noise album in the background. I have an 80s reissue. That record sure sounds different.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Mine is a late 70s / early 80s reissue as well. Unfortunately my copy is very noisy so I need to replace it at some point. The album is so good! A psych monster. Thanks for watching and commenting :) Armien

[@fishman5604]

DUDE all classics right here. Great additions for sure. Have some of the vinyl you showed, but need some as well. Killer stuff, always happy to see your vids.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for tuning in, buddy! Armien

[@TYKE4EVR]

I have a 2nd Japanese issue of A love supreme record. It's a very rare ltd version that comes with promo interview flexi.

[@AudiophileLaws]

man that's a real rarity in these days! I was just telling a friend about it and we both were impressed since we didn't even know that such a pressing exists. Thanks for sharing :) Armien

[@CarstenPeterOlsen]

Great video Armien.. It's always nice to get some Jazz recommendations :)

[@AudiophileLaws]

thanks for tuning in, Carsten!

[@CarstenPeterOlsen]

I'll always be tuning in :)

[@lastcrateontheleft]

Always nice to see your jazz collection..love the misc japanese pressings you showed. Ever thought about showing us your prog collection? I personally would love to see that friend. Enjoy ur last few days off. Cheers! -greg mattingly

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Greg, thanks for the kind words! I should show my prog section at some point but it's not that good actually. I also want to do a new vertigo Swirl video at some point. Thanks for watching - all the best! Armien

[@Campo007]

The Analogue Productions pressings of Love Supreme, Abstract Truth and 2,3,4 are sublime. I can't recommend them enough.

[@AudiophileLaws]

I am sure they are more than amazing! I would also get some titles of the new AP Contemporary series. Too bad they are really expensive here in Germany. Thanks for watching! Armien

[@BioCYTE1]

Jazz may not be my thing but I can appreciate a huge stack of killer records, finding stuff you've been looking for forever and a 17/hr listening session without a shower! Sounds like it was a fantastic day, congrats on the new finds Armien always cool to see you diggin' the collection! - Lj

[@AudiophileLaws]

+BioCYTE1 Hi LJ, haha yes! Those listening sessions kick ass! Thanks for tuning in, buddy! All the best! Armien

[@swordfish52]

Dank Armien , Ihr freund aus New York . Jimmy ... [ Enjoy your days off !! ]

[@AudiophileLaws]

Bitte sehr :) Thanks for watching, Jimmy! All the best to you! Armien

Hi Armien, some really great jazzalbums! I loved these Stan Getz-albums. That "Jazz samba" album is high on my wishlist. I have an EP from it and it sounds really good! Stan Getz actually lived here in Sweden för many years, even though it wasn't the easiest time of his life. I also love Art Pepper so that album looked really interesting! Great video! Take care!

[@AudiophileLaws]

+JörgenS I didn't know that Stan Getz lived in Sweden. Very interesting! I would love to hear more things about the swedish Jazz scene. It seems like there was a real "scene" in Stockholm for example. There is this fantastic album by Art Farmer called "To Sweden With Love". Its high on my want list. Thanks for watching :) Armien

AudiophileLaws BarackaPDub is also interested in the Swedish jazzscene, so i think i will do a video in the near future about my favourite swedish jazzalbums and musiscians! :)

[@astrojazzman]

I own the entire Impluse Record catalogue

[@georgedoughly6344]

Ceazs Vinyl Sweet!

[@Chris4127basket]

Nice update Armien; I also would like to find an analogue prod on that Coltrane, I have an og mono, but it's probably vg or vg+ at best/I'm still looking for that oliver Nelson, I have 'more blues and abstract blues' which is the second part, also recommended but this one you're showing is amazing/ only have that haynes on cd, such a great impulse release/ I can recommend you 'focus' on verve if you like Getz, I love this record/ cheers

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Chris, Sounds good! I still need to pick up "More Blues And The.." I will give Focus by Getz a listen. I really like his stuff on Verve. Thanks for watching my friend :) Have a good weekend! Armien

[@NEEDLEGROOVEVINYL]

Not much to add here buddy. All incredible albums. A nice variety of different pressings here. Out of the afternoon and abstract truth are up there on my impulse want list. Glad to see you are doing well. Take care. - Kieran.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching, Kieran! Have a good sunday :) Armien

[@NEEDLEGROOVEVINYL]

You have intrigues me with We Three. An album I have never heard of or seen. Sounds very interesting.

[@AudiophileLaws]

+Needle Groove I am sure that you will enjoy this album! It's a true masterpiece.

[@norberthaftekmusic]

My favourite will be always Vibrophone - thanks to the band called Gong (Pierre Moerlen's)

[@Kalprog]

Nice assortment of Jazz. If you ever come across Gary McFarlane check his stuff out you may enjoy it. Also I remember you said you like David Sanborn. His vinyl sounds amazing. His long time guitarist Hiram Bullock has some very cool stuff which is hard to find on vinyl, try that also you will enjoy it if you can find some! Keep up the great videos and thanks for all the information. Kurt

[@AudiophileLaws]

+Kurt Kalapach So cool that you remembered that I am a big David Sanborn fan. His album straight to the heart is one of my all time favorites. Marcus Miller on bass - just a killer combination. I will definitely look up Hiram Bullock. Thanks for the recommendation. All the best! Armien

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

Nice to see you found two more Stan Getz albums. I can not give you any advice on Brazillian Jazz, as my collection consists of popular Brazillian music from the 60' to 80', some Bossa Nova but mainly from the Tropicalia movement. Enjoy your free time listening to records.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Martin, good to hear from you! The brazilian music is really fascinating. I was just reading the wikipedia article about it. There are so many sub genres. I couldn't believe it! Thanks for watching, buddy! The Buena Vista Social Club will be available in a few days! FINALLY ! Armien

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

Yeah finally, i double checked my local recordstore to make sure my reservation was still active. :)

[@AudiophileLaws]

The offical website said: Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original tapes. I got the Talking Timbuktu Reissue from the same series and I have to say that I have the feeling that the upcoming BVSC will be more than amazing. I am reeeeaaally looking forward :)

[@rossmoffitt7364]

Cool. My local shop had some Sonny Rollins (The Bridge) and Wes Montgomery (Boss Guitar) Japanese pressings for about 40-80USD$. A bit over priced for me. If they were less, I would definitely get them. Some of them ony had 6-8 songs on them, which is another reason why I didn't go for them.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Ross, yes, I agree. 40-80$ is way too much for them. A price around 25-35 would be fair imo. I have a classic records pressing of The Bridge which I got surprisingly cheap. Maybe you can find one as well. Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@cillyede]

Some really good records! Glückwunsch.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hallo Hubert, vielen Dank! Armien

[@BarakaPDub]

Nice to see Empyrean Isles and Takin' Off. Essential Hancock. It was also good to see all of the Japanese pressings you managed to pick up so cheaply. The shipping from Japan is what kills us here. For every record, I have managed to pick up there, the minimum to ship to the States is on the order of 18 dollars. Lots of great Impulse titles and I had not seen that Paul Chambers album before. I'll be on the look out for that one based on your recommendation.

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hi Paul, actually it's the same here. Shipping kills me every time but it gets a little cheaper when you place a big order. Shipping to Germany is around 15$ and 4$ for each additional item. We Three is a fantastic album indeed! I am sure you would like it! Thanks for watching my friend! Armien

[@swordfish52]

Miss Your Videos Armien !! Hope All Is Well ... Jimmy ...

[@carlosandresloaiza8656]

Excelente.

[@MrLovell1971]

Armien excellent finds I'm still after that Roy Haynes Quartet a hard to come by record in any pressing . John Coltrane A Love Supreme a monster those Japanese pressings are made so well. I agree with you on My favorite Things his Atlantic version is the best. I finally found A Music Matters Empryean Isles and its a killer. Stan Getz another great player I need get Great stuff cool ads video Armien

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for tuning in, Lovell! So cool to hear that you got a Music Matters pressing of Empyrean Isles. It's a wonderful album. All the best my friend! Armien

[@TheEndtroducing]

Man I just watch this I think. Great ALS, I need the AP as well. Gotta love the French Impulse ... I have 10 I think ! The US thick cover is a plus. Out Of The Afternoon is in my top 10 Impulse. Roland Kirk is crazy ... I have that Shelly Manne but I have distortion everywhere :'( Haan I saw Takin' Off at Hors-Série for 15€, I found the cover to be really nice. Have the Getz Au Go Go but I don't know the other one, will check ! My Favorite Things Coltrane did on "Selflessness" is great too, with Roy Haynes instead of Elvin Jones, and of course you have all the fierce ones in his later period. You killed it with the Japanese pressings haha, that's addictive. I'm also very satisfied with those Back To Black/OJC Fantasy (Prestige, New Jazz, etc.), those are the ones to get cheap !

[@AudiophileLaws]

Good to hear that man! I still need to expand my coltrane section. We already talked about it but I could imagine that AP will do a 33 version of ALS one day. We'll see! Thanks for watching! Armien

[@Tintin06]

great stuff thx

[@wurly1100]

I've been spinning "We Three"...Great album! I also recently discovered Dorothy Ashby, Found a sealed copy of her album "Hip Harp" Worth looking up if you're not familiar with her.

[@Vinylbop]

Hi Armien, you shoud check out other records by Art Pepper; AcousticSounds has some very good titles and pressings, especially their Contemporary reissues. I think that Roy DuNann is a very underrated soundengineer; those older Art Pepper titles sound amazing!

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Robert, thanks for the recommendation! I just read about the Contemporary series on Analog Planet. I would love to get some of the titles. Unfortunately they are really expensive here. Never the less I will listen to some other Art Pepper titles. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend :) Armien

[@genedizon6387]

Keep up the good work! I noticed you put a yellow sticky on the back of the album. What information do you put on and why?

[@AudiophileLaws]

Thanks for watching! The yellow card is an index card that I add to every album in my collection. It features things like: The date I bought it, price, year of release etc. Armien

[@MrSlapingthebass]

Have you heard of Freddie Hubbard album, the body and the soul? I believe it's on impulse.

[@AudiophileLaws]

+kenji drake haha now that's funny that you ask since I bought it only 3 weeks ago. It's still in my "new income" crate so I haven't listened to it yet but I'll put it on soon. Thanks for watching! Armien

[@MrSlapingthebass]

Hahah that is funny wow. :) But that's awesome. Yeah I really want to get it soon on vinyl, it sounds really good. Where did you get it because everywhere I see online in the states it's a pretty expensive record. I live in California btw. Btw how long have you been collecting records? You have a ton of records!

[@MrSlapingthebass]

Your welcome man! I love watching other peoples record collection to see what records I don't have that interest me and you have a lot of records I want haha

[@AudiophileLaws]

I bought it on discogs from a german seller. It's a japanese pressing

[@vinylveteran]

Hi Armien, the Oliver Nelson is a great score - which pressing is it and what did you have to pay for it?

[@OrthoAutist]

hey man love the finds another question I'd love to get into vinyl but cartridge mounting and setting the tracking force kinda scare me idk why any tips

[@AudiophileLaws]

Mounting the cartridge is a really important part indeed. Setting the tracking force is really easy since you can buy a small gauge for it. Adjusting the cartridge is a little more difficult but there are a lot of helpers as well. You can buy one of those scales and then carefully adjust it. Another option would be to buy a preinstalled turntable or go to a hifi store and ask them to set it all up. Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@sagsmcgee2434]

I'm just getting into vinyl collecting, what's the difference between a Japan press and a normal pressing?

[@lukaingo4650]

Hello AudioPH: Im new about turntables. D you thing expensive turntable like VPI vs Audiotechnica 1240 make difference like price difference it is? Thanks

[@AudiophileLaws]

+luka ingo Oh yes there is a huge difference. The audiotechnica is a DJ turntable. It is direct driven and also has a cheap cartridge. To my mind it's a bad turntable. In this price ranger I would always go with a Pro Ject Debut, a Rega or something like that. Of course the VPI's are a complete other leauge. Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@spinningreek2247]

Listening to records for 17 hours sounds like a day well spent. I just found copies of Jazz Samba and Getz Au Go Go for $1 at a thrift store. A good cleaning and $2 made my night amazing and I will be on the lookout for more Getz and Latin Jazz. Wish some of these Impulse pressings were more affordable. Can never find them out and about and the prices on Discogs and eBay seem to be over the top. Cant wait for the next video. Maybe with the time off you have you can get another one up in a couple of days!-Stav

[@AudiophileLaws]

+Spinnin' Greek man those were some cool finds for Stan Getz. I also want to get more Latin Jazz. The Impulse stuff is really hard to find here in Germany. Normally those pressings never appear. I always have to pay a lot for the shipping. I just heard that there will be some official Impulse reissues by Universal Music. Some interesting titles are included. Maybe that will be a good way to go. Thanks for watching :) Armien

[@annemurrayfan80]

hey armein i just got 5 john coltrane lp. and my favorite things lp is great. listening now. you did a great video. how many lps do u own now man :) mike

[@AudiophileLaws]

Hello Mike, My favorite things is such a beautiful album! Cool to hear that you found some Coltrane. I have around 1900 Records in the collection now. Thanks for watching :) Armien
