Mr. Bungle's debut was produced by John Zorn and it is something that should be in your collection it is very good.

[@dereckvon]

It is.

[@rogerwaters3165]

Love it Disco Volante is great too.

[@sonder152]

The Selftitled was produced by Zorn and it's amazing, but Disco Volante is Bungle's true masterpiece

[@alexposilkin9683]

Never knew about that School album. Really great story! I only saw Eugene Chadbourne once live, but it was a duet with Han Bennink on drums at Tonic. The two of them together are completely bananas!

[@postdemo]

Great video, those records are priceless. Zorn’s music bewilders me and you did add some clarity to it. Looks like you have a great collection as well. Best to you.

[@KoolRanchDressing]

Very cool to see your Zorn vinyl and hear the stories connected with it. I have Naked City and Torture Garden's Naked City on vinyl, which are valuable as well. I have that same pressing of Elephant, also have original pressings of Stripes' S/T, De Stijl, and White Blood Cells. Their stuff fluctuates in value quite a bit. Popsike is a good site to use if you want to know the history of ebay sales for a record. I recently discovered I have two The Walkmen records worth over $150 each, lol.

[@napalmtomahawk]

Amazing. You're documenting some of the greatest art of our time. I thank you for that. Please have a plan for that collection should anything ever happen to you...

[@monkeykingrecords]

Spy Vs Spy is awesome. spent a summer listening to that on a boom box at work

[@Volkmannx]

Zorn's one of my favorites - thanks for sharing!

[@darkdubh]

I've been aware of John Zorn for years but never really exposed myself to his work.I came across a CD by the Masada String playing his compositions and am keen to imerse myself in more of his stuff.

[@wvansluisveld3011]

I have been following John Zorn for almost 15 years. At first my impression was that Naked City is cool and everything else is not for me. However, by now I have so many of his works that I used to dismiss initially. Other highly recommended records: - Masada live at Tonic and Sevilla - Electric Masada - At the Mountains of madness - Bar kokhba 50th anniversary 3CD - The circle maker - Book of Angels 10 Lucifer - At the mountains of madness - The Godess - Moonchild trio - the Crucible - Moonchild trio - Ipsissimus

[@Paneeks1960]

James Fennimore Cooper and also Annie Proulx who wrote Brokeback Mountain have that knack of being so descriptive about landscapes that are melodies of colors as you say. Very nice look at your Zorn records. I got interested in John Zorn through Jeff's {glowingcabbige} video. Now you described him even more. Got to love the VC. Rob/Boston

[@RobinB84]

Nice video man! Thanks for sharing, makes me happy!

[@crapitoutjim]

Derek you're so right. I have records that I know would go for £100 + but could never sell them. They take me back to places and people that I knew, great times that I had and places that don't even exist anymore. I'm a massive fan of The Fall and some of their albums go for huge amounts but I will NEVER sell them. I LOVE THEM!! Great video Derek as always. Love your stuff. Thanks James, Manchester, UK

[@itsgeegra]

Just stumbled across your channel while looking up Zorn on KZbin? instant sub, I hope I get to amass a collection like yours before I shuffle off haha

[@TheodorusRex]

One of your better videos... Much interesting information.

[@mindmy609]

Great art

[@blackoperations13]

Could you post a link to the video this was in response to please? I've been a Zorn fan since the late 80s after seeing 'Put Blood In The Music' on UK TV via 'The South Bank Show' which features the only live footage I've ever seen of the Spy Vs Spy group. The LP is one of his all-time best, an easier Zorn vinyl to find and nowhere near a $100 record. You have definitely got something pretty special with that 'School' vinyl though! All those early Zorn/Chadbourne recordings still sound great today. I've always hoped they may record a new album together. It'd be so interesting to hear what they would churn out now after all these years.

[@dereckvon]

@crapitoutjim Thanks for commenting, James. I can most definitely feel you!

[@dereckvon]

@turntabillist Yes, I have some Naked City and Painkiller on cd. I have a Masada performance on dvd. Stunning.

[@MetalNick]

Spy vs. Spy is so mindblowing.

[@dereckvon]

@stephievon Love you too, so glad you're here!

[@dereckvon]

@Sodanoose So true, funny just to see the prices sometimes and wonder what's going on with people. Good to hear from you!

[@darkdubh]

That reminds me I have never insured my vinyl though there are a few individual pieces that are worth serious money.

[@TheArtistMaster]

When I decided to start buying music on vinyl... White Stripes was on the first on my list of "expensive, but I must have it list".... well, I don't have yet!!!.... too damn expensive.... I might have to settle for one of those awful looking re-issues. I drooled all over myself watching you hold that record :)

[@turntabillist]

Love John Zorn! Unfortunately I've got zilch on vinyl, but many many on CD including that Ornette tribute. Have you heard any of the Painkiller and Naked City stuff? Absolutely terrifying in all respects. Also, Masada in the jazz vein which explores his Jewish roots. Excellent.

[@dereckvon]

@astraltraveler68 You're right and that happened because I have the album alphabetically filed under the other artists name.

[@ValirAmaril]

I never knew picture discs could influence the quality of sound!

[@alpoe4467]

Are you familiar with Bill Laswell, Hawkwind, and Paul Hardcastle?

[@dereckvon]

Good heavens, yes.

[@MrFartboy79]

Thanks for sharing your John Zorn- very interesting artist. Did I see he just put out a Christmas record? I'll have to give Eugene a call! lol Excellent collection- nice Stripes record as well. I agree 100% on the value of records- it's cool to know you have something of value, but the record is much cooler to have than the cash it may be worth- the music is of much more value IMO. I think I'd only sell my records if we were starving and I had to feed my family- but thats last resort stuff.

[@Sodanoose]

a great feature of Discogs is -going into the sales history on records....then you can actually tell what people have paid for and get a history of payments for particular records as opposed to what people are trying to sell it for-which can sometimes be ridiculous

[@MaterLacrymarum]

Nothing devalues music than putting a price on it. The value is in the notes, the performance. You demean it by concentrating on what it might be worth in monetary terms. Music has no value unless it's heard.

[@sunoclockoneday2576]

True story ✌

[@dereckvon]

@mg196 Very cool and thanks! Even got a shout out there!

[@dereckvon]

@cosmicrider287 That's a great documentary.

[@ghostandbell2006]

That's a grail / re: school

[@dereckvon]

@MrFartboy79 I noticed that Christmas album too.

[@ThePinklp]

Ah! you have quite the record there with "School". I've been looking for a copy of that for years to no avail. Awesome story to go along with that as well. I'd say that Eugene Chadbourne is easily one of the greatest musicians.

[@simonmacvicar]

Eugen will send you his personal guitar solos unreleased for free from his website

[@davidrichman9779]

can you please link me to the video you are responding.

[@dereckvon]

@ppuurf Sounds logical.

[@MrLordHasta]

How many LP's do you have??

[@blerkh]

Fuck that money! Right on!

[@sonicmainliner]

Hell yeah, fuck the money, with you all the way on that one.

[@dereckvon]

@TheArtistMaster Hello! :-)

[@dereckvon]

@ThePinklp He is so not noticed.

[@dereckvon]

@KoolRanchDressing It does make you lol.

[@TheodorusRex]

great VIDEO! Fuck that money - your record collection is at stake!

[@dereckvon]

@bennyuk25 Fuck the money!

[@bennyuk25]

You so right fuck the money I have the records all day long Ben

[@seqouiaflame]

Love John Zorn, but... nothing a vinyl! Makes me sad.
