The Vinyl Tag 2024 : On Location

[@retromusings]

Absolutely brilliant! Enjoyed seeing you outside doing this tag. A lovely change for sure although that bag of records must have been terribly heavy! Happy 2024.

[@williamcardina89]

Way to kick off the new year! 2024 is looking good already Big Year for our country

[@northernvinylguy]

Hi Mazzy. I'd been toying with the idea of doing vinyl videos and your Vinyl Tag 2024 inspired me to finally put one out. Your list was fantastic. I particularly liked your Surrealistic Pillow choice. Looking forward to seeing your next videos. Cheers from Canada!

[@narrowfield6846]

Great choices! I agree with your comment about question no. 18, which is by far the best, and also that it needs more fresh and unusual questions anyway.

[@berwickshiremike51]

Mazzy , another superb job of tackling this year's vinyl tag. Thanks for a year of entertainment. Great singles. Great locations.

[@drop_the_needle_records]

Mazzy great Vinyl Tag as always. I finally bit the bullet and made my first video and it was a Vinyl Tag. I gave you a shout out for inspiring me to make my first video. Thank you for inspirtation and the wealth of knowledge you have given me with each video you put out.

[@joseguzman8357]

Thank you Mazzy! Keep the joy of music discovery coming.

[@lynnlyons4430]

thx mazzy for the on location vinyl tag lol always entertaining and fun to watch!!! cheers

[@ashrobinson4604]

Mazzy never disappoints! (well, almost never-all the best in 2024 Mazzy and the VC, and thanks).

[@annefrazer6629]

I always enjoy your discussions of the time and place you first discovered an album and why it's important to you. Our tastes don't overlap often but albums mean as much to me as yours do to you.

[@fairhurst889]

Same age,same taste! This video is up there with the best of your 2023. Thanks for all your hard work and creative. Happy New Year Mazzy stay safe and healthy in 2024 Peace and Love from the Uk 🇬🇧

[@playmesomething]

Really loved this video. Only about five years into really collecting records, and I quickly learned the magic is in the stories. Can't believe I never watched this series until last year, a true treasure trove of stories from so many collectors.

[@SteveWhitty1965]

Enjoyed watching your response on location Mazzy. Those punk singles took me right back.

[@samstjohn1994]

Nice to see you jumping around town Mazzy. Gram Parsons, so good. I think a lot of folks chose Bob as their most listened, I know I did. Take care.

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

So sad to see Vinyl on the down side. I hope it picks up. You are among the few good men still doing videos the right way. Good Vinyl Find Videos are few and far between. Thanks for The Videos!!!

That was a joy to watch Mazzy. I love the adventurous nature of different locations and the interesting framing and compositions. Of coarse the content was great but the over all production was very cool.

[@djvinylvertigo]

Loved your edits, Mazzy!! I see you with Julie London!! Great idea, on location!!!👏👏

[@mazzysmusic]

Thank you Scott ✌🏼

[@PiecesofVinyl]

appreciate that you got out and did this outside - I need to do this but Im always afraid to take my records out! that is a cool bag you have there too. Love the framing in some of these shots too!

[@markspooner1224]

@@vinylrichie007 So did you, I've watched it.

[@JBLClassic]

Beck’s “The Information” needs reissued. The only vinyl version was 1000 copies and stupidly expensive. One of my first hi end audio experiences was “Automatic for the People” on a pair of Martin Logan Arius 1’s with Audio Research gear back when that album first came out. Totally blew my mind. Good stuff Mazzy.

[@mazzysmusic]

Absolutely. Information and Vultures ✌🏼

[@mistery-ed7900]

I chose the 60s also. Not only all the bands you mentioned but living the rest of my life without Coltrane would be impossible.

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Nice tag Mazzy, you hit the nail hard on some of these. Cheers and happy new year!

[@vinylrichie007]

You have caved and embraced the flannel shirt craze.

[@bacarandii]

Love your dinner guests. I had the opportunity to meet Joni Mitchell in the late 1980s and I couldn't do it because her music meant too much to me. So, I'd probably invite her now -- along with John Lennon (with whom I've had conversations in my dreams going back to the '70s, so I've really been talking to myself and I'd love to hear what he REALLY has to say about what's going on in the world right now; I always looked to him as an older brother who was going to show me how to grow up, try everything and make all the mistakes so I could learn from them -- and then we were all robbed of that at gunpoint) and Randy Newman (for all the reasons you've mentioned -- politics/humor/sex/music = inseparable!). Patti Smith is a great choice, too. But Rev. Al Green would be someone I would love to thank in person and talk with about Memphis, music & the Big Questions...

[@ronzakar8597]

Hey Mazzie, another great one. Happy New Year to you and everyone in the vinyl community. Speaking of New Years my resolutions in no particular order are; eat more ice cream, take more naps and smoke more ganga (its ok pot is legal here on PEI).

[@seekingathread]

I'll have to find that Beck / Bjork video. Must be an oldie. Mutations, yes needs a repress but I wonder if its aged well. But I love Beck up through The Information and Modern Guilt. You've given the vinyl tag the respect it deserves, aircraft noise and cropped camera angles. Enjoyed though

[@patriksweden9203]

Mazzy love your Vinyl Tag that video you did on Bjork and Beck was an excellent spotlight they definitely pushed the boundaries. Bjork blew me away when I discovered her. R.e.m Automatic was one of greatest Album they created IMO . Happy New Year Mazzy .

I recognize some spots. Georgetown is unbelievably noisy- but then it's in the industrial zone next to the airport. Fantagraphics is a great comic publisher, too. Repress some gems.

[@SDsailor7]

You can never go wrong with the airplane👍

[@Vinylfromtheunderground]

Beck mutations was based on the 1968 self titled tropicalia psych lp by Os mutantes.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

My pick for Greatest Hits would be Songs of Leonard Cohen, his debut. I actually thought that was a Best Of for a long time. The only thing giving it away are the last two songs, which are more obscure. But other than that… boy what an LP.

[@mazzysmusic]

Good choice ✌🏼

[@blakes8126]

[@4-dman464]

1:48 I'm very impressed that you can get up off the floor that easy. I can't get off the floor so easy anymore. Which is unfortunate, because that's where all my records are. Rob Walker has to be impressed that you went the extra mile to film outside Manchester locations - - that's really getting into the Mancunian spirit: 6:48 Inspired location for Mazz to be posing outside *Strangeways Prison* . Mazz missed a perfect opportunity to show a *Smiths* album here. 8:43 Mazz outside the *Hulme* lowrise projects initiative. *Joy Division* wouldn't recognise the place now or be able to find their way to the Russell Club, so I *can* understand Mazz going all that way without showing their albums there. 12:00 Lets down the vid a tad to be posing outside a closed down retail park on *Regent Road* , even though close to the Salford jewelers where *Tony Wilson* hung out as a kid. 14:59 Mazz directly underneath the *Mancunian Way* - - what Americans call a freeway with a concrete overpass, beside *Oxford Road* . Mazz is closer than he realises here to Manchester Metropolitan University & Manchester University. It's only an *optical illusion* in the vid that Mazz looks *12 foot 4 inches* tall here. 16:41 Look closely over Mazz's left shoulder & you will see the only surviving remnant of a *Stockport* location painted by Salford's own *L. S. Lowry* : a gas-lit streetlamp. Would it have been too much to ask for Mazz to show the 1977 45 ' *Matchstalk Men & Matchstalk Cats & Dogs* ' ?

I love doing on location videos but my arm gets tired lol. Do you have a tripod or do you have your own videotagrapher? I try to get my wife to do it but pretty sure she would rather have a tooth pulled out. Why isn’t it raining or snowing? I see blue sky in Seattle, weird . I also enjoyed the answers

I do have a tripod, but for these, I lean my phone up against the solid rear antenna on top of my car. I back my car up where I want to shoot, or obviously, these are roadside or in parking lots. Happy New Year Steve!!!

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Okay that makes sense. When I filmed in the graveyard I used my vehicle. Nicely done

[@rixvspinner]

Great video Mazzy. You managed to mic yourself well outdoors, not easy to do. Some interesting choices. For Jefferson Airplane, I would have added Crown Of Creation- under-rated album. That Patti Smith single must have been before she released her album Horses. I like your artist choices, not a fan of Randy Newman otherwise.

[@mazzysmusic]

The mic really picked up all the airplanes too. I love Crown of Creation but being their only 1968 release, it doesn’t fit the question of two albums released the same year.

Patti Smith and Randy Newman are great choices for a dinner party. I think John Lennon might be a bit of a bore. Sinead does have a good figure but she does have giant feet. Automatic For The People is a great choice for the 90’s. I think the cover is horrible however.
