My Record Room Tour

instagram: telegram_sam_vinyl

[@RecordKrate]

Nice space! Great view, and Maggie looks like a Kool Kat….thanks for sharing

[@treaclesmith]

Hi Sam, Thanks so much for allowing us into your apartment. Its a very personal thing to do. I think it's fantastic 👌🏻

[@Foul_Quince]

I prefer to call my record room "The Conservatoir", but my wife calls it the "Junk Room" or "where the cat lives". I love Squier guitars - I have a 5 string J Bass, a J Masics Jazzmaster and a Tele that I have put a Gibson Factory P-90 in as the neck pick up. But where's your amplifier?

[@ts_vinyl]

Haha I like "The Conservatoir"! They're awesome, I forgot to say that mine was a Jazzmaster but not the awesome J Masics one unfortunately. A vintage 70's Telecaster is high up on my guitar want list. My amplifier was hiding behind my couch, it's just a small Vox.

[@MommasRecords]

Loved the tour. Thanks for sharing your space with us. Looks like a really lovely place to hang out and listen to some records.

[@kekambas79]

Thanks for sharing! Loved the tour! Love the music decorations and very diverse!

[@TCatsDeepVinylTraxx]

Love these record room tours, so thank you for showing us around. I actually love the Audio-Technica turntables, they are perfect for great sound at lower volumes, which is perfect for me living in an apartment. Cats are wonderful, my 3 cats have scattered their toys everywhere. Their toys have a place, but they haven't learned how to put them back yet. Nice view. Great music room and as always, amazing vinyl!

[@ts_vinyl]

Haha I have a box that I usually put Maggie's toys in but usually once I put them in there she promptly takes them back out

[@llywelyngruffydd8474]

I approve of the doll head. My ex once bought me a disembodied mannequin's hand. She found it at some thrift place. Looks cool. I've had it on my record shelf for years.

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Great room tour. Love the space. The collage wall is excellent. Your apartment looks so comfortable. Great place to kick it back and listen to tunes. :)

[@thomasfischer392]

Very nice video. I love all your collection and how you manage it and the story behind it. Supercool!! Kiss

[@GlenKellawayfromthebasement]

Hey Sam..so cool..I would have no trouble making myself at home in your awesome space..great job of utilizing 500 square feet..your space is so interesting..great video..glen👍❤

[@rolandrevolvermann502]

Unfortunately, you see something so cozy far too seldom. I love it! Greetings from Germany!

[@RichStrickler]

Thanks for the tour. Very cool space. Love how all the walls are filled with posters and photos. Awesome throwback furniture in the living room too. Definite hippy pad, cool as hell. Looks like a happy place to hang out. Fantastic view of downtown Portland. Great video!!!

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Rich! Yeah, I'm really happy with how my place turned out. It's better than what I imagined when I was a teenager fantasizing what my first solo apartment would look like.

[@NorthernRevolutions]

Hey Sam. Thanks for the tour. Great space. Im glad you said what you said about your turntable because I feel exactly the same way. My ears cant hear the difference either.

[@CorabicrueJ]

Cool room tour, I like the use of all the space you have well done, I live in a Apartment as well so my whole area is a music room as well, Cheers

[@stonefree67]

A really nice,cozy flat and set up you´ve got there, i would like it as well. It feels like home. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Jan!

[@yourworstnightmare5902]

Your apartment really reflects what you are all about. You remind me of my daughter and her bright blue hair :-) It’s easy to see that you are a unique individual as well. Thanks for the tour.

[@MrLovell1971]

Sam love you record room that collage is amazing very cool vintage rug an couch 🛋. I’ve been digging the white record shelves very different an outstanding your collection is growing big time love the different genres you listen too thanks for sharing and you have that beautiful view of downtown Portland 👍 have a great week. Lovellandrew

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Lovell! Yeah, that shag rug was the first thing I bought when I got my apartment! And I feel super lucky to have such an amazing view of the city. Hope you have a good week as well!

[@cgcvinyl]

Hey Sam! Thanks for the room tour! Very cool set up! Love the retro 60's living room. Perfect environment when spinning your vinyl. That Kurt Cobain Funko is worth some bucks! I've been looking for one & they're over a hundred bucks. Well organized space. Love it! ✌😁

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Christian! Had no idea that that Funko was worth some $$$... maybe I should get into the Funko game lol

[@krautathaus]

Love your colorful room, w/ such a nice view. Awesome music taste...Fela Kuti, Chris Isaak, punk in general and all the other stuff. For your three Ikeas, if you like to pimp them. Get yourself the thinnest chipboard in a hardware store and let it saw to the size of the back of each ikea-8-shelf. When you put them with spax srews at the back of your ikeas it will stay in form forever and you can push your records without them falling behind. I have the same shelfs and with that chipboard on the back you could place even one shelf allone and it stays very stable. Cheers from germany.

[@panjin79]

Wow, I love your apartment! You’ve done an amazing job using what space you have to the max. That view is killer, btw.

[@purplereigninblood]

Looks like a great place to start and end the day, surround yourself with what you love!! Great Vid.

[@bradlafran4172]

Love the light in your apartment. You have a great view and from what I could see an amazing record collection. Just looks like a comfortable and creative living space. Like you I’ve hung on to a bunch of cassettes, mainly because I don’t have either their cd or lp counterpart and I still enjoy listening to them. Do you have a favorite Portland radio station?

[@ts_vinyl]

Thank you Brad! Yeah, I love the light I get in my apartment, it's perfect for making my videos! I unfortunately don't think I've listened to any radio stations since I've been in Portland. I mainly just listen to music on Spotify or KZbin if I'm out and about

[@christi186]

Love your space Sam, what a cool place you have. I think you've made awesome use of your space and it looks great. Your view is gorgeous too!!

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Christi! The view is my favorite part of my apartment

[@ChrisPropfeMusicallyObsessed]

Awesome record room! I like how organized it is! Thank you for sharing.

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Chris!

[@dcmphotog8452]

My God, Robert Gordon. By that I mean MY God, Robert Gordon. I remember when I was a teenager and his Fresh Fish album was released. I felt like I was looking in a mirror, at the kid inside of me. I especially was fascinated with the cover of "Bad Boy", and wished I could have a hairdoo like that (and a voice to match). But alas, there is only one Robert Gordon, and a frizzy haired introvert like me was never gonna steal that thunder. But that's ok. I'm glad we got one.

[@rallstonianmusicreport1975]

Hi Sam, thanks for showing us your record room/apartment! I dig the 70s vibe you've got going on! Sorry for not commenting on your videos lately, I'll do more of that in the future. Cool X Wing! Have you watched Kenobi yet and what did you think of the series? Best, Steve

[@mazzysmusic]

Love this. I also love the room tours. Nice comfortable space 🎸❣️

[@BattManion1979]

Easy Spazzlov she's a lot smarter than the girls you usually try to schmooze in the VC. How's that McCartney I II III box coming?

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Mazzy!

[@michaelorourke5848]

Loved it Sam, very inspiring!

[@alastairjones7359]

I really liked your collection and layout……I can tell you live the life 👏🏻👏🏻

[@hubtunes9607]

Hi Maggie !!! Those CD cases are groovy !!

[@brucevinyl3504]

Fascinating tour of your music listening space, Sam. Like you I don't have much room and knocked up some semi-suitable reclaimed scaffolding pipes to act as records shelf frames. The frustrating thing is I can't separate the piles of vinyl.

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Bruce! Scaffolding pipes sound like a really cool idea for shelf frames

[@seanjennnings2010]

Nice room set-up, plenty of vinyl and some cool posters. I've recently moved house, still unpacking 3 mths in. I've got boxes of vinyl and C.Ds, and cassettes, i still buy them. I recently came into a lot of money, from my late Dad, and we are in the process of selling his house, so i'm due to come into £1000's more once it's sold, just waiting for an offer to meet or get near the asking value, hopefully in the next few wks/mths. So i've been in a position to upgrade, my music system, Record/C.D/Cassette collection. Bought some Kallax shelving from Ikea, for a reasonable price, still have to fill most of the shelves, been really busy clearing out old house, and running new house, and working on-line, which takes up a lot of my time. I've invested in some nice separate Hi-Fi systems, luv the A.T Turntables, i own 2 an Lp 60, like yours, v. cool cause it's automatic, and a manual L.p 120 Direct Drive, the sound is amazing from both systems, i've also got a Denon Amp, and a Denon C.D player, and a Double Cassette player, to play my rapidly expanding cassette tapes on, never owned one before, sound is amazing from that, with 30/ 40+ yrs old cassetes, still buy them on-line and from charity shops. As for vinyl i've been lucky to b e able to buy rare albums, early U.S pressings of V.Us ,debut album with the peel back banana skin cover, an early U.K pressing of the Who's debut album from 65, a U.S demo copy of No more Heroes by one of my fav groups the Stranglers never owned it before. An Aretha Franklin demo copy of Young gifted and Black, an early U.K pressing of NMTB by the Sex Pistols, with original pink back cover, never owned that on vinyl before, Japanese Cream Wheels of Fire, Japanese Prince Purple Rain, an early U.K pressing of Dusty in Memphis, a Japanese Dusty Springfield comp, an early U.K pressing of Revolver i paid 100s of £s for, a mispress of Abbey Road, the Kinks 60s back catalogue, remasters, not original copies unfortunately. I have original 60s Beatles albums, original Muddy Waters and B.B King albums, a 50s original Bo Diddley album, single box sets of the Beatles on vinyl and the Stones in Mono, The Beatles, C.D box sets, Mono and Stereo albums, the Stones 60s Mono Albums on C.D, the Stones vinyl singles in Mono box set, the Beatles E.P collection on C.D, the Beatles Capitol Albums Vols 1+2 on C.D, the Beatles Revolver 50th remastered C.D box set with alternate takes, a collection of most of Led Zeps early albums on cassette, an Amy Whinehouse singles box set on vinyl, Amy at Glastonbury on vinyl. Queen's complete album discography on coloured vinyl, Queens Platinum collection on coloured vinyl, Queens the Complete Works comp, from their 1st album, up to the Works album, box set on vinyl, inc tour dates, map, discography booklet and cool No'd laminated sleeves for each album, i paid 100s for each of these. I've also got most of Steelye Dan's back catalogue on C.D and a cool Suzi Quatro discography box set on C..D, a few Bowie upgrade albums Diamond Dogs, Low. A Fleetwood Mac 25 yrs C.D Box set, Captain Beefhearts Safe as Milk on vinyl , his best album an upgrade of Frank Zappa's Hot Rats, album, his best album, most of Rory Gallagher's back catalogue on vinyl most of Johnny Winters back catalagoue on Vinyl and C.D Box sets, a few Queen Deep Cuts comps on C.D, a couple of Allman Brothers Albums on vinyl, the list goes on , rare Kins promo Cassette from the 80's an upgrade of Buzzcocks Going Steady comp, voted the best comp album of all time, a Buzzcocks C.D box set. Need to set up my Hi-Fi equipment, when i get round to it.

"My home is, were my music is". Thanks for the inside look. By the way, The Smile Album is absolute dynamite, enjoy it. Greetings from🇩🇪

[@lionheartroar3104]

That is an amazing space. Congrats!

[@collectrify]

Cool - nice tour! I was similarly inspired to do this by others before me. Pretty soon you'll look back at this video snapshot and marvel at how much more your collection has grown!

[@ts_vinyl]

Thank you! Yeah, it's even crazy just looking at my videos I did last year when I just had a little 6 cube for my records and now the 24 cube I have now is starting to get tight on space

[@BD_MEDIA.]

Thank you for the inspiring video, Sam! I'm working on my listening space a day at a time 😌. I see you do art.I think it would be cool if you could please show some of your artwork, if you find the time 😀

[@ts_vinyl]

Glad to inspire! I'm kind of shy when it comes to my artistic ventures but if I ever find an excuse in one of my videos to show off one of my pieces I will do it. Good luck on your listening space!

[@BD_MEDIA.]

@@ts_vinyl thanks, Sam! Who knows, I may make a video someday...😀

[@Dafalex22]

yessssssss.....this is the "REX" chic/'Bolan' babe that works at the creepy doll head factory at the edge of town......tooth gap, Squier guitar, flaming hair, Billy Idol recruit......that's her......kool pad! Dig it!!

[@toddhill7483]

Fantastic tour. Love how you've decorated. Wish I'd hung onto my old cassettes. Just checked out Hanna's new music room on the omaha introvert channel, also really nice. Like your black cat, we have 2 of our own. Allow her bedroom access or you'll hear about it! (As I'm sure you're well aware)

[@emigoth]

Amazing living space/room Big up from Italy 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻

[@dat1phoenix173]

I absolutely love your set up Sam! You have inspired me to put more time in my record listening area

[@BadEnglishRecs]

Thanks for showing your room. Fun that sony mini-system is still working! And CD player on it is still working. I have couple of mini-systems, and the CD isn't working anymore. One from 90's and other I would guess is from 2000 and something. Fun wall with all those pictures. And you see also some green when you look out from your window, that is big bonus. Right? mr. Finglish (Bäd English Recs)

[@nerveguy]

Cool space. I dig it.

[@chlfje]

It's cool that you listen to rock and punk. When I was your age it wasn't cool to listen to both genres. I know, stupid as it sounds but that's the way some were. I listened to a heavy dose of classic rock and then Blondie, The Clash and The Cars came along which caught my attention. I dabbled into a bit of everything when I reached my early 20s. Some new wave and jazz fusion or more or less rock fusion were thrown into the mix. Now I listen to everything. Yes, even Olivia, Taylor, and Billie.

[@bigboxbobby2]

Wow looks really interesting. Love it.

[@jenks2841]

Love you're room!!!

[@omega4recording]

Awesome way to transform your space! A great collection of music - love that collage wall - gave me a few ideas 😊 - I did note your BLM protest comment and that you got sprayed with tear gas 😮 - I notice that the police always break out the tear gas during all “peaceful” protests. Stay cool and send updates!!!

[@buickmckane9418]

Well done. Great Name !!!😁

[@benrankins4446]

That's a hell of a rock 'n roll entrance into your ponderosa! Cool to see a little Sparks picture in there as well. Doo Hickey is now my new favourite word ha, ha! Sorry Sam, Susie the head is a bit scary! Cool space. Cheers...Ben

[@ts_vinyl]

Haha thanks Ben! My brain completely blanked on the word "divider" so I went with doo hickey (that would be a great band name!). Looks like Suzi is doing her job!

[@RandallWeaver]

What a fantastic living space! Music everywhere! Really great tour Sam, ending with that incredible view from your window. Wow! I had that Propaganda poster on my wall when that record came out...it's long gone now lol Thanks for the tour!

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Randall!

[@stephenwilliams781]

I love people who love music. Enough said😊

[@bluerev]

Beautiful room, but how do you listen with your speakers on top of each other? You could set them up on both sides of your TV and get way better sound out of your lovely vinyl collection.

[@albundy666]

Thanks for the tour, Sam. Like you, I can’t hear that much different in higher quality gear, and have an AT LP-120, a decent amplifier, and a pair of bookshelf speakers that cost me $200. It is more than enough for me. Love your retro space, and that is a great view.

[@handrewmillan4293]

the view and art table looks so awesome to be at with some music playing ugh, need that iml

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Liam!

[@fredmccarroll3476]

Love the video! You are like me. I have posters framed and hanging in every room of my home except my kitchen and darkroom! I collect both vinyl and CDs. I presently have around 1100 to 1200 vinyl records and around 1400 CDs. I also collect movies on DVD and Blu-ray. I presently have around 1300 to 1400 movies. And 120 of those are nothing but Rock concerts and documentaries. And I have the same brand of vinyl inner anti-static sleeves as you!

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Fred! Love a good poster, unlike you I actually do have some hung up in my kitchen. I plan to cover every inch of my apartment (besides the floor) with stuff. Man, I'm close to catching up with you on the record collection, I think I'm sitting near 800 currently. I love movies and have a little collection of about 50 DVD's but I know if I get too deep into that rabbit hole I will lose whatever space I have left in my living room

[@fizzlebomber674]

oooh that is freaking awesome that you live in Portland!!!! very jealous. i had same record player as you and i didnt upgrade for like 6 years, that LP 60 was solid and i kept it as a backup. The difference in sound is obviously the cartridge not the player itself and with the LP 60, you couldn't really upgrade stylus. I got a U-turn audio player two years ago and i think you notice the sound quality and depth right away. Obviously, that won't apply to all records.

[@Localbandography]

Sweet view of the City from the place Sam.

[@ts_vinyl]

Thanks Dave! Still can't believe I have that view

Good to see Frida on the wall...she makes a place

I just sold all my tapes over the weekend, I don’t recommend that if that double cassette Sony works tho. Doll head still creeps me out. I didnt realize you were in Portland, I’ve been watching videos about Eugene. -Shawn

[@ts_vinyl]

No, unfortunately the cassette player on my Sony doesn't work. Haha Suzi is doing her job well then!

[@FogAndLime]

who makes that blue 45s box?? love it! want one!

[@SatelliteSounds]

Have you any original music yourself?

I spied a Sparks sticker. Noice!

[@scrunts666]

[@jimmiwestpedersen359]

Cool…👍

[@BC-ni3sk]

Hey Sam, I'll make you feel better, my son 6 months ago moved away from San Diego where he too was in 500 square foot apartment and was paying $2,300 per month and his landlord was looking to charge the next occupant $3,300 per month!!! Ugly. Oops, very nice collection, large too.

[@GroverJ83]

Brutal BC. I remember my parents rented our small 3br house in SD in the early 90's for $800 a month, adjusted for inflation that would be $2,400 or $2,500 in today's dollars. Same house today in SD would $4,000-5000 a month. People who own real estate in that city use zoning laws to make it difficult to build new property so they can jack up prices due to housing scarcity

beautyfull better than al that expesion shit

[@rosevillereaper9230]

ok so cool place and i do like the setup BUT. Are you really listing to records on 2 aiwa speakers stacked on top of each other???? even if those speakers were placed like they were supposed to be, one on the left and one on the right, they would still suck. For god sake baby go to a thrift store and get a receiver and a set of speakers where the grills come off at least.. as long as the receiver you pick up doesn't say Dolby digital your golden. you dont want any digital shit compressing the analog sound.

[@sammencia7945]

You taped those rare and irreplaceable posters to the wall. Permanently damaged them.

[@davidespana5246]

Blm.....well I guess we all made mistakes in the past...cool content tho

[@robanderson6173]

Advertising 3 times louder than KZbinr, thumbs down and do not show content for any channel where this happens.

[@davidellis5141]

Hi Sam 👋 - I'm digging Maggie the 🐈 !! I have two , a tortoiseshell & ticked tabby. I ❤️ them both so much. The Debbie Harry Bobblehead is awesome 👌 - Hope you get well soon 😃 ✌️

[@ts_vinyl]

Hey David! Maggie is definitely a cool cat, and I have been contemplating getting a second cat so she isn't so lonely when I'm not home.

[@MD-cy6pe]

i like your room, view and colors. only thing i would recommend is to put your system near your tv so you can have one speaker on each side with stands, perhaps, or purchase some good value floor-standers from emotiva or q acoustics. you may find that you will be more immersed in your music set up that way thus finding it more enjoyable. peace.

[@TheVinylGuru]

Love it. Yes you definitely dont do the minimalism on the walls. LOL!!! Digging the surfbort love. Was a fun RSD release. Love that you are a QOSTA fan too. I too saw them on that tour

[@tanis7050]

Wow what a beautiful room!! just a quick tip when you stack your speaker like that you lose the stereo soundscape so please put them 5 or 6 feet apart to do your large collection justice.

[@videojeffrobetustak5129]

I have that exact same book I bought it at Half Price Books. btw I love how the Hasil Akins album is sticking out.
