I love how we can have wildly different tastes in music but still be involved in the same hobby. Awesome channel Frank, and a great video.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks! That's one of things I love about the vinyl community -- so many different tastes in music (I learn a lot and discover new stuff from people with different tastes and opinions than my own). Cheers!

[@retrospinvinyl]

Most albums I don't grab multiple copies of but sometimes I do. It isn't a common practice of mine. Always enjoy seeing other people's setups!

[@johnwright4744]

Thank you for the tour. I’m trying to get into the hobby. I have more CDs than vinyl. But seeing others room and setups is very inspiring.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks John. Good luck with the collection!

[@Grampa-el3kz]

Super cool collection, and equipment, and rooms!!!! Best wishes to you and yours.

[@TorontoJon]

For record dividers for my own collection, all I did was simply buy some large black Bristol boards or poster boards from Dollarama or other dollar stores (any colour board will do to suit one's tastes) and then I cut up the boards to the size of an LP record, but with a little rectangular label area protruding. Then I hand-printed the genre or artist, etc. onto the label area using a silver ink pen also purchased from Dollarama. It's cheap and effective, but higher quality dividers look awesome too. :)

[@vintagevinylaustralia4344]

Hey Frank, What an amazing room. Very neat and organised, and of course full of music. Love it! To answer your question, yes I too collect multiple pressings of records. Different cover, labels, I can relate 😊 Stay safe my friend. Cheers ~Andrew

[@scottmackenzie6699]

Sweet setups, Frank. Thanks for sharing!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks for watching!

[@JimmyV1530]

Love seeing your collection & All those multiples !!!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks so much!

[@GroovyLisa]

Nice looking room Frank. I love how you have your room setup.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thank you!

[@MultiKs22]

frank you are man of information you are total professional you don't beat around the bush love your tour of your music rooms some of those thrift records you show us show of them I do possess myself like Beverley hill cops 2 starring Eddie murphy. plus, your tape boxes which I also bought at my local thrift store a few years back. I also love your upstairs relaxing room with those speakers that your bought at a garage sale. keeping up the good work.

[@felipecavalera8729]

I had no idea múltiple records sound different. I thought it was more just about the artwork. Fantastic collection 🤘🏽

[@metalmickey]

Great to see all the other things. Everything is very cool. I have a big room but I'm tempted to move everything into a smaller room I actually favour the busy look

[@Channel33RPM]

Interesting. I suppose there is something to be said for having a cozier space.

[@arianrhod9588]

Thanks, Frank. Another really enjoyable look behind the scenes! Hope you’re all still safe and well.

[@Channel33RPM]

All good here! Stay safe as well. Frank

[@robotlogik0]

Thanks man, hope you have a great week too! That kenwood silver face amp is sick, btw!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks! You too!

[@TorontoJon]

Wow, Frank, what an amazing and well-organized music collection in addition to a terrific music room and family room. Cool stuff indeed. :)

[@Channel33RPM]

Many thanks!

[@CuttoothsRoom]

Very cool. I love your record collection, esp the soundtracks. Wish I had some of them for sure.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks!

[@gnayr1305]

Thank you so much for the tour. Loved it. 🤘🙏

[@Channel33RPM]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidellis5141]

Its a well organized room. Many would never show the mess they have.

[@duh50360]

Good looking room, Frank!

[@transformertalksandcollect2903]

Sometime you should make a video on your entire cassette collection for the people who love tapes.

[@brunohebert1351]

and 8-tracks too!

[@Channel33RPM]

I will definitely keep that in mind. I just need to get them in some sort of order first.

[@suprememusicmaster]

@@Channel33RPM Time to start sorting and cataloguing them now...The best thing I ever did for my collection was to catalogue it...Now I know what I have and where it all is!

[@new_mercury5367]

Great room tour Frank. My collection starts at Queen then goes alphabetically by band. Each artist is organsied like: 1. Studio albums by date originally released 2. Singles by date originally released 3. Live albums by date of the concert not release 4. Compilations by date originally released 5. Other such as newspaper or magazine exclusives, bootlegs etc Solo artists are now seperate to the parent band except Queen where they come after all the Queen stuff above. I have some duplicates, I gave away to a friend most of my CD duplicates except for some i.e. if there were extra tracks etc. Vinyl I've kept most of my duplicates (although I did give away a Queen vinyl to my cousin as it was the 2015 remaster and I got the 2020 release, same recording but I got it for free direct from the publisher)

[@speedking4951]

Awesome collection Frank! Something to be truly proud of! I don't normally collect different versions of the same album. Since my budget is rather limited, i prefer to diversify. Love those soundtracks. Some real classics. Stay safe my friend.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks! And you as well.

[@DJFoggyEyes]

You hit 33k subscribers! Congratulations and love the channel!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Neal!

[@cpta03]

Thanks for room tour part 2. You have a great music collection and it is so neatly organized. Your Kenwood integrated amp is really nice. I have a Kenwood KA-3500 integrated amp in my secondary system. Depending on my mood and music genre, I sometimes prefer the Kenwood over my newer Marantz PM6004. My record collection is organized by genre and then alphabetically by artist. My CD collection was organized in the same manner, but I ran out of shelf space and the some CD’s are stored in boxes.

[@Ionbilly]

Wow.... I thought I had way too much stuff. Nice collection Frank.

[@alm5693]

One nice "hack" that I've used for those IKEA shelves is to screw a piece of pre-finished MDF 3/8 x 1-1/4 stop moulding to the back surface of each shelf. It keeps the records further forward and not up against the wall behind them. A 7' strip costs less than $5 at Menards so it's about a buck a shelf when you add the MDF screws.

[@Channel33RPM]

That is a good tip. I should have mentioned it, but I fastened 1x3s to the back of my IKEA units... then I screwed those into the wall. Those things don't budget at all now.

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Cool stuff Frank. Thanks for showing all those hidden nooks and crannies 🤘

[@Channel33RPM]

No problem 👍 Thanks for tuning in!

[@bobqualls257]

Wow! I am so envious of your music room. Great equipment and a tremendous collection of LPs. I also love Sabbath, Priest and Led Zep. Not so much with kiss, but that's OK.

[@thetubesrock]

Thanks for the tour Frank. Your closet is more organized than my listing area! Lol. I tell everyone it's a work in progress 😉

[@WhatIsKevinUpTo]

I actually yelled THE GOLDEN CHILD when I saw it. EPIC!

[@georgearnold8573]

Hi Frank Fantastic love your music room Part 2 I definitely voted for this one ... I love my vinyl and cd collection I have a few tape cassettes and music vhs tapes all looks fantastic I have only one turntable my vintage 1979 Technics SLQ3.....I'd like to get a 2nd one and get one of those mixers that would be cool. I thoroughly enjoyed your video...🤟

[@robi8569]

Nice equipment! I always wanted a video tour.. greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@misfitsthe8253]

Great room, always great to see others set up.

[@Channel33RPM]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mike196212]

The 8-track was a funny invention and flawed from the start. I'm 59 and these things were still being made when I was in junior high and high school. I had a few and they never sat properly in the player we had at home(maybe this was the real problem). Can still see the ''program'' listings. There was always a track or two that was concluded on the next ''side.''

[@kennyfrommodesto1]

I got into vinyl about a year ago with a Hitachi PS48 I got at a flea market from the original owner. It gets used almost daily and sounds fantastic!

[@Channel33RPM]

Such a nice turntable.

[@gielfels2]

I strive to have a collection like yours one day, room is wicked 🤘

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks!

[@joekoesters3463]

Thanks for the tour.. I need shelves for my Cd’s and tapes. Many of them are in boxes. Organizing my records is overdue and I need to order some dividers or make my own. Thanks for the ideas.

[@williamchandlee7790]

Great video awesome stuff I do need to get more of my stuff organised just taken the time to do it but I love everything you got keep on spinning You rock😛🤘

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks so much!

[@jeremybonfiglio3914]

Man, I have some organizing to do before I can share all of mine. I gotta say, when you have a Fluance 85 in your closet as your third turntable option, you know you have some serious gear!

[@cameronzywina906]

HI Frank, it is great to see your set-up. I have my records organized strictly alphabetically. I had my CDs organized by genre and then within each genre alphabetically, Nowadays, I store my CDs randomly within plastic storage tubs. I just open up a tub and pull out a random pile to listen to. I have too many CDs to organize and display properly nowadays. Take care!

[@hadron1593]

I sort this way: first, I separate them to two categories. Foreign, and hungarian. Then ABC order, by the artist, then the original release of the albums. If I have more vinyl in the future, I also want to add a soundtrack section!

[@mrhoffame]

Great stuff man!! Love this series for sure \m/ Those Japanese Priest were wonderful!!!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Brandon. Those Japanese Priest pressings, as you know, sound amazing!

[@jobarrios]

I keep my collection alphabetized within a category, either Rock, Jazz, Classical and Latin. Works for me.

[@peterx1957]

Nice room tour Frank. You're not alone with the multiple pressings of the same album. That's my Beatles Collection in spades! I justify it by saying they're all different in some way. I sort mine alphabetically. Soundtracks also alpha in it's own section. I moved house a few months back so I hope to send you my entry in your 'rate my room' segment soon. Stay safe Cheers mate.

[@dustinanderson2738]

I sort by genre. I'm a metal head so it's my priority. After that, I group them very meticulously like 70s rock and so forth. I do love my funk section as well!!

[@jimb2416]

Amazing records, tapes and gear Frank! Soooooo cool. Where'd you get your record dividers? Do you clean your brand new Lps before playing them? If so, how do you? I've got a milk crate full of new Lps I haven't filed away yet as I'm curious about cleaning them first before I put them in new vinyl storage solutions sleeves. Keep on spinning Frank!!! 🤟🤟👍

[@Jbones72]

I have my own system to sort, based on how much I like the band & when I started to listening to them. I also mix the genre in when sorting... Hey it makes sense to me! Haha. I did the same thing when I had my cd collection.

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

I buy multiples especially if it’s an upgrade or a Linda Ronstadt album :). Loved the tour. Well done.

[@705johnnyboy]

great tour ,i need to sort my gear more ,a guilt trip today for being lazy lol,nice ruark speakers

[@macorourke2222]

Great tour. Superb collections. I organize my music collections the same way as You. Thanks for sharing Your passion for music Brother 😀👍♥️🔊🎶🎶🎶🎶🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks for watching!

[@ElBerto_]

Have a great week Frank!!

[@Channel33RPM]

You too!

[@blugilliand7561]

You have some great horror soundtracks, Frank! Would love to see a video devoted to those...maybe this Halloween?

[@donaldcady3839]

Sabbath has its own section on my shelf. Boc and Priest too.

[@frankscovertunes]

I have multiple copies of the V-J "Introducing the Beatles". Different label versions, different tracks on version 1 and 2 , etc. and multiples of other Beatle albums- east coast / west coast pressings , mono / stereo etc.

[@chilligoz]

Loved the room tour👍 My collection is growing by the day, I have around 200 + albums which we sort it out by my section and my wife’s section.... once the Kallax shelves full , I’ll organise it by genre.... cheers 🍺

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

I also keep my albums, cass.tapes, and CDS in alphabetical order. And my music VHS tapes and dvds. And I log all my music in a big notebook to keep track of them all. As a rule I don't buy multiple copys just don't have the money or the room. As long as I have one copy I'm good. Now if it wears out or gets damaged than I replace it. Thanks for sharing your music room with us.

[@Surfacenoise67]

I don't really get multiple pressings. I have a few doubles though . I sort my records alphabetically but have separate sections for Jazz, Hip Hop and Country.

[@Hoss1492]

I have that Kenwood amp too - the only I difference is I bought it new in 78!

[@mariomartinez-it7hq]

Nice, Frank awesome stuff. We should all send you a picture of our music rooms .

[@Channel33RPM]

I do have a series called Vinyl Dens, where I show pictures of viewers music rooms. That series is on a temporary hiatus, but will be back eventually.

[@baq8680]

I dug it!!

[@mickricksbsc]

Great to see another Fluance fan. I would love a set of those speakers. But my Monitor Audio floorstanders do a perfectly admirable job. Still, if you're ever considering selling them give me first refusal lol. I'm sorry I didn't wait another year to replace my old Micro Seiki turntable (what a turntable it is too) with the RT85 instead of the RT81 I went with. Not because I have any regrets about buying the RT81, its a great deck, especially with the Goldring E3 cart and stylus upgrade. But I just love that acrylic platter. Even my wife remarked that it looks great. Its just a pity Fluance don't do upgrades for their turntable platters. I upgraded the RT81's standard rubber mat to an acrylic one so thats something at least.

[@rehabdrive5469]

"They didn't want it... so I'm takin' it!" Lol. And yes, depending on the band, I'll pick up multiples. I love variations. 🤘

[@big_burly_bro]

Those Obi Priest albums are some beauties.

[@VinylAthletes]

I'll pick up multiples. I have records from test pressing to promo version to commercial release. Depends on the album and price.

[@williambruce9207]

My doubles are when I forget I already had one! I have album in vinyl, cassette and CD!

[@robertforet4477]

My primary sections are rock and soundtracks. I divide both by artists and groups while having a special section for live bootlegs and official releases. Another section for soundtracks with horror and oddball soundtracks like tv shows and stuff that would not go anywhere else. I have a section on women artists like Heart, Katy P, Madonna, so on. I just got in a few cube shelves from WayBasics that are easy to put together and you can stack them giving extra storage space, also I kept my 8 carry cases with extra variations of albums like you have. 2 cases of vintage Kiss original albums along with picture discs and other novelties. Absolutely NOT in alphabetical order, no time to do that, but I know where everything is. I invite you to do a video review on Way Basics storage cubes for vinyl records if you like what they offer. Just a cool product that may be useful for many collectors. I love your channel, so keep it going.

[@markfrancos9561]

I tend to have a few copies of a few favourite albums, often different varients, og presses, reissues etc, it's hard deciding which to play for definite.

[@WhippingBrady]

Bob & Doug....love it. Take Off with Geddy Lee. Worth the price of that album right there.

[@livinaftermidnight9651]

We are a lot alike with the organization of our collections. I'm a stickler to have the bands in an alphanumeric order by year if that makes sense. Only difference is I keep my RSD and MOFI records in their own home. Never the less, cool to see behind the curtain so to speak!

[@bornces]

Cool Stuff!

[@rodgerjohnson733]

I collect a few multiple copies of my AC/DC collection. Would love to do a few other groups in the future..

[@cardindalrichelieu]

I put my main vinyl collection alphabetically by artist. I put the soundtracks and other compilations at the end of the main collection.

[@user181]

Those are nice looking record and CD shelves in your music room. Who makes them? Or are they custom-built?

[@ianscholes3049]

Hey Frank, have you got the UK pressing of Priest's 'Killing Machine' / 'Hell Bent For Leather' that was pressed on red vinyl? I don't think you could find it on black vinyl in the UK.

[@alejandromolina2435]

you left me with the desire too see your judas priest collection in full haha by the way awesome stuff you show us today!

[@7JANEWAY]

I order my records by the artist. That way, if I feel like listening to, for example, The Beatles, all their albums are in one place. This makes it easier for me. I often don’t feel like a particular album, I just want to hear something from a particular artist. So it looks like you collect turntables.....😂😂😂 Cool setup!!! I wish I had the money and the space to do something similar.

[@kylerosser3731]

Always sorted my collection alphabetically, then release date and only sorted genre as rock, country and soundtracks. As far as rerelease copies I was sorting them by the rerelease date but now put them in by the originals release date. The is mainly for my Who collection, don't usually get multiples of other bands.

[@chrisblackburn1872]

Really cool. I collect multiples also like to collect the same album in different forms like Master of Puppets I have it on album,cassette and CD. Keep on spinning 🤘😎

[@norrieclark5217]

I don't do multiple pressings generally although I do have a few on multiple formats

[@CorabicrueJ]

Very cool, love the cassette drawers...old school, may i ask where u got the dividers for the vinyl?, Cheers Frankie

[@Channel33RPM]

Hey Frankie! It was a long time ago - but I believe I bought them online from Bags Unlimited.

[@Vince_Tasciotti]

Thank You for this series of music room videos very informative with, if you look for them a few handy storage tips. But this question popped into my mind just a moment ago. What would be your preferred music payback system in a car? We know what you love in the house, but how about a video about what you like in the car while on a trip? My solution is music stored on my phone, no dinged up CDs or cassette tapes becoming unwound after hitting a bump. So, Mr. Landry, what is your automotive audio preference?

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Vince, I'll keep that in mind. Like you, I have given up on physical media in the vehicle. Nowadays, it's all Spotify, streamed via Bluetooth to an in-dash Alpine receiver.

[@brunohebert1351]

I don't have the luxury of space to have duplicates. When I come across one, I will A/B my 2 copies and keep the best one. If they're identical, I might also swap the cover if the new one is in better shape than the original. Then I'll either give my other copy to friends or kids I know that are starting in vinyl or trade when there is a trade event near my place (well, there's none these days for obvious reasons but hopefully we can get back to it)

[@Dan-77]

Wow you have the originals I’m so jealous

[@metallian2952]

Got multiple copies of some albums as well. Being a KISS collector got multiple copies of every KISS album....... like 24 different pressings of the first album.

[@MatthewRutledgeTaylor]

I have duplicates for two kinds of records. I'll buy two of anything that is a limited pressing so I'll have a backup in case of damage--because I listen to all my records! I also have goofy get as many copies as possible albums like Huey Lewis and the News - Sports, and Men At Work - Business As Usual.

[@darrenhackney6834]

Hi 33rpm. My record collection is sorted by artists but not in alphabetical order. You have inspired me to do so and may be try to find dividers like your good self has ( good thinking batman) may be try ebay or amazon for them. 🇬🇧. Thanks dude. 😊

[@davidcaroll]

I noticed that you have a couple Killer Dwarf cassettes...do you have any Killer Dwarfs on vinyl? I have their self-titled and Big Deal on vinyl.

[@harrybaque5502]

Just picked up a completely restored/recapped Sansui AU-717, one of the best sounding pieces of gear i have owned.

[@Channel33RPM]

Jealous! I would LOVE a 717!

[@jonathansilva9848]

Hey Frank, thinking about getting the Fluance RT 85. I'm currently running the Nagaoka MP 110 on my AT LP 120XUSB. Do you think the Fluance will be an upgrade? Also, do you prefer the Nag MP 110 or Ortofon Blue for the Fluance? I listen to mostly metal and rock like you. Cheers!

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Great video frank

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks 👍

[@crimsonghost6454]

Nice turntable collection. Great record collection. You have nice stuff and good taste. Will you ever mess with tube gear?

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks! I would love to get into tube stuff at some point.

[@joet_swbo101]

That UK black sabbath pressing, is that on Vertigo & original or a re-issue? thanks

[@bobby666666]

Nice storage of the albums Frank. I once sorted alphabetically, but this didn't last long. I find it's less hassle finding unsorted than putting back alphabetically. My friend purchased Kiss Unplugged from Amazon not long ago. He paid around £4.85 for it. Obviously, it was an error on Amazon's part.

[@dgunnut6550]

Have you ever checked out Orchid? Since you love Black Sabbath I think you’ll dig Orchid.

[@axelfeiss1130]

OK, have to ask as I have them on my wish list. Are the MoFi Judas Priest worth to buy because of the better mastering from your point of view or are they more towards collectibles?

[@mrnoadable]

I'm moving, and when I set-up in my new digs, I may go random. Brainstorm... I have a couple hundred records and another 50 box sets. When I sit down and listen, it's often "shiny object" - something catches my eye or ear, and I commence a spontaneous listening binge. If I listen to something, and routinely put it away at the end, after a few months, all that I recently hear would be randomly sorted to the end, and after a year or so, the albums that haven't had a play would begin to be concentrated at the beginning. That might be a good way to cycle through my collection. I'd still be able to find particular albums, because I have a strong visual sense and memory about the spines of my albums. I've had things orderly for years, and lately I've noticed I tend to favor listening to the same 20 albums or so. Hmmm. Maybe I'll just do that.

[@sonicacoustics9176]

Your music is really nice. :)

[@Channel33RPM]

Thank you very much!

[@jch5150]

Good stuff! I thought I might see Alice Cooper's Constrictor album on vinyl but you do have it on cassette. This album is on my vinyl list!

[@Channel33RPM]

Yes, I do have it on vinyl as well (and CD, lol). Good album!

[@Andersljungberg]

it is really advisable to have a turntable on an amplifier. due to the heat and maybe micro vibrations from the amplifier

[@Andersljungberg]

Have you ever listened to SACD or DVD audio or blu-ray pure audio?
