The Best Vinyl Finds of 2022

[@chriswood2310]

I love that Peter Green record. They threw all conventions to to the wind. I was also thinking Bitches Brew the first time I heard it. What an experimental trip.

[@rvegas81]

Thank you! Ray C.

[@ronjetten6535]

Schifrin also did the sound track for one of the best movies ever - Bullit

[@mazzysmusic]

I have that too 🌸✌🏼

[@jasonarsenault3791]

That Neil young. Wow! Peter green also a major victory. Congrats on some quality hunting.

[@cosmicvinyl2937]

Cool Vid my friend! Happy New Year to you Sir! Hope you had an awesome weekend! By the looks of things you had a great year in vinyl! Really didn’t we all tho? I mean I feel like I could’ve gotten half the LPs I picked up and could still say it was a killer year! Honestly some of these albums I don’t know and some I’m likely not interested in but I do enjoy watching you operate onscreen! LoL! You are still the best my friend! Love ya and hope all is well Brother! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️

[@mazzysmusic]

Happy new year Brian. Let’s connect again early in the year ✌🏼

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Love that UK Peter green ✊🏼

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

I’m always looking for the washing machine record. Very cool

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Damn, hard to find prince …

[@mazzysmusic]

Yeah is so good 🎸

[@Localbandography]

I saw the Washing Machine tour. They opened for Pearl Jam at that gig.

The best vinyl of all time: 1 Forever Changes - Love 2 Astral Weeks - Van Morrison 3 Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols 4 This Years Model - Elvis Costello 5 Harvest - Neil Young 6 The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie 7 Pet Sounds - Beach Boys 8 Tim - The Replacements 9 Revolver - Beatles 9 Let it Be - The Replacements. So much better than the Beatles "Let it Be" 10 Buffalo Springfield Again - Buffalo Springfield. You can reverse the order and put this first. no ordre Get Happy! Elvis Costello and the Attractions Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan The Doors - The Doors The X Album - Lloyd Cole Zuma - Neil Young Pretenders - The Pretenders Are you Experienced - Jimi Hendrix Core - Stone Temple Pilots Mary Wells Greatest Hits. Smokey wrote most of these songs and they are every bit as good as the ones for of the Miracles Avalon - Roxy Music Squeezing Out Sparks or Heat Treatment - Graham Parker Eponymous - R.E.M. Talk Talk Talk - The Psychedelic Furs Quicksilver Messenger Service Happy Trails Lloyd Cole - Don't get weird on me babe A Hard Days Night - The Beatles Doolittle - The Pixies Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady Having A Rave Up! The Yardbirds Yankee Foxtrot Hotel - Wilco Paul Westerberg - 14 songs Yo La Tengo - some album, I really didn't listen to many albums Banana album - Velvet Underground and Nico Making Movies - Dire Straits Shazam - The Move Best music video .. much better than The Last Waltz. Neil Young's "Live Rust" does all of his hits and non-hits and better versions of a few songs than the originals. Such as "Welfare Mothers". My least favorite records of all time that are popular and I don't like them at all. Abbey Road - The Beatles The White Album - Beatles .. Yes I do love the Beatles just not these last two records Exile on Main St. - The Rolling Stones Like the Stones work until 1970 OK Computer - Radiohead Anything by Pink Floyd I particularly hate - The Wall (their best songs are Money and Comfortably Numb. This list could go on but I guess I'm losing all credibility.

No Spice Girls! Think before posting!

[@pauldaniels2019]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t care for White Album, Exile, & The Wall.

[@user-vt9pc9xc5b]

FYI, Sleeps With Angels was released in the US. I have a copy.

[@recordcollectornews]

Congrats on the cleaning machine. I don't clean new records either. But I nod and act like I do when I'm around certain audiophiles...

[@jasonarsenault3791]

I don’t understand. If it’s got visible dirt… why wouldn’t you clean it… doesn’t matter if it’s new or used. If there is dirt, does it not warrant a wash? Flawed logic

[@recordcollectornews]

@@jasonarsenault3791 If a record has visible dust I brush it off. I do know audiophiles who ultrasonically or vacuum clean even brand-new records out of the shrink with no visible dust.

[@johnchamberlin7837]

Will you do a "The Best CD Finds of 2022"?

[@mazzysmusic]

Probably not 🥺😢

[@johnchamberlin7837]

@@mazzysmusic Darn - but thank you for replying. I enjoy your videos.

[@MrLovell1971]

Mazzy killer Prince find I’ve never seen that one in the wild . Neil Young Sleeps with Angels is a masterpiece drive by is a beauty excellent Mazzy.

[@ricefieldrecords]

I don’t own an ultrasonic bath. It was used historically by jewelers and medical for cleaning and sterilisation of stainless steel and gems. Vinyl is soft. Those exploding bubbles. Has anyone determined if the power of the bath against the smallest crevices of the record causes any changes whatsoever? Worth an inquiry to your surgeon friend and/or archivist?

[@mathewpety7156]

Sleeps with Angels...sublime...

[@vinylrichie007]

I don't think I've ever seen that Prince album. Very interesting albums.

[@brucybabyy7355]

i believe the song sleeps with angels was his dedication to kurt cobain.

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

I use to have Key Lime Pie. I kept the vinyl, I just wish they would reissue it! I keep looking for an OG, discogs is a little high for it. A few people sent me that Peter Green album, enjoyable listen happy New Year Mazzy

[@mazzysmusic]

Happy new year grandpa ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[@martingrindley2933]

Love my humminguru cleaner, careful the cleaning becomes addictive

[@renetrachet]

Hello Mazzy, no CD finds ?

[@mazzysmusic]

Not lately ✌🏼

[@sotabottle5979]

Sleeps With angels US release 1994 I bought on release, great vinyl,great album!!

[@stevebrougham3930]

The Who’s Live at Leeds original U.K. with all the inserts made me happy this year. Mint Cond. For £28.

[@yatestom4845]

Do you have the last zappa box waka wazoo?

[@mazzysmusic]

I do not. I have an OG of the LP

[@michaelbrodybroshears5721]

What an amazing pull on that Neil Young record. So good.

[@catherine6653]

Thank you for sharing the fact about the riff in Rikki Don't Loose That Number. Didn't know it came from the Jazz album.

[@dbugatto]

Grinderman is brilliant , was fortunate to see them live when they toured .

[@nothingimportant4504]

Fantastic finds Mazzy! I totally forgot about Camper Van Beethoven. The Neil Young and Sonic Youth records are absolutely killer, I just streamed Sleeps with Angels the other day. And the Prince! Those 90s albums are kind of forgotten gems.

[@larrymann803]

Thanks for taking the time to die these It’s much appreciated

[@chrisdash1]

Great list. I saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse play much of Sleeps With Angels at the Bridge School Benefit. I don't think they ever toured the album and it was all done on acoustic guitars that night. So great!!!

[@michaelpdawson]

Nice finds! I've been keeping an eye out for a clean OG of Venus in Cancer. Used to see that in the cutout bins when I was a kid and found the cover fascinatingly weird but had no idea what the music was.

[@christopherkibler511]

That Robbie Basho album is nice.

[@fidelios_frequency]

Some really great finds 😍! The Prince & Neil Young are on my want list as well. Your choice of words in describing records is always spot-on. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ErwinvanMaanen]

Great and diverse selection. The Camper van Beethoven and Sonic Youth are long-time favorites of mine. My greatest cd find (I am not into vinyl) amongst a bunch would be the Suburban Lawns compilation; a lucky and cheap find🌟 All the best for 2023 and I enjoy your music musings👍

[@mazzysmusic]

Thank you. Good bands and other snacks 😏🤠✌🏼

[@mikeadam7115]

Loved the sticker on the Mannix album - 3/$1.00.

[@mazzysmusic]

Yeah. I didn’t get the other two 🥺😏

[@williamcardina89]

Post Christmas Video was AWESOME All I can say is you have the touch, or you strike a nerve, or It really is the music.Can not tell you how much I look forward to these

[@chrishughes5049]

Nice, looking for that Mannix, had some of Lalo's best of sorta things, also his early Bossa stuff thats great, Steely Dan really only took the feel and two notes to make a totally different song but it's jazz man, the evolution of themes, styles and rhythm ....it's like....jazz, man. Have all Camper releases, saw them a lot in the '90s and Cracker too, saw Sonic Youth Daydream Nation tour, took my ears two days to recover, Also will be seeking out Sleeps with Angels, had to drop the Archive but I want the LP anyway, good finds Happy Christmas and I heard some where to ring out the old, ring in the new, cheers and thanks again for the invaluable service you provide....seriously!

[@charlieanderson8497]

Quite possibly my favorite Young album. Kudo's for finding it on vinyl.

[@miketomlin6040]

Can you do a top 500 lp's you bought in November beginning with the letters Wa?

[@mazzysmusic]

🙄🤕🤣🥺

[@franksmusic2880]

Nice finds Mazzy, the coolest pick has to be the Peter Green and the Sonic Youth album for me, I’ve owned the Green album for many years. I like the free flowing jams, it has a little funky groove. Happy New Year Mazzy..🎉✌️🎸

[@mazzysmusic]

Yeah the looseness of the Green album is fantastic. He stretches out a lot 🎸

[@theheepster]

For all they couldn't find a good used copy of Horace Silver: Song For My Father, it was reissued 2021 in the Blue Note Classic Series.

[@mazzysmusic]

Yes I’ve heard the Claasics issue is great. I also have the Music Matter Jazz version. Amazing too, however those two recent issues have a digital fix on the first track as there were apparent tape issue. They did a good fix job.

[@IvanMusicMan]

I love that Prince album ❤ Its on my wantlist 😊

[@dboy6896]

Great albums! I actually like NY when he is bitting, so I like Piece of Crap very much, but it might not be well paired with the other songs on Sleeps with Angels. NY is tremendous. Just listened to Greendale for the first time in an age and really got caught up in it. Everyone, just love the music. We are so lucky to have it! Love to you.

[@lupcokotevski2907]

I have the very rare Australian only cover of that Kinks comp. The only copy I've ever seen. Also, I have an original of the Robbie Basho LP. Again the only copy I've ever seen in Australia - how such an obscure American record ended up here may be a good story.

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Wasn’t Roger Smith from 77Sunset Strip married to Ann Margret?? I would really like to buy a Hummin Guru but just don’t have the funds. Enjoyed all the music.

[@rickgriffis8258]

When are you going to do a video on your hats?

[@mazzysmusic]

🤷🏻‍♂️🤠

[@marcyfan]

@@mazzysmusic i'd like to do a video based on the things you didn't buy on last san francisco trip. i know you have a lot of things already but geez...

[@PengDerick]

Another ranking video. It's getting to where i would almost pay someone (not you Mazzy you have enough gelt) in the VC to have an in-depth conversation about even one Lp

[@mazzysmusic]

It’s that time of year. There’s the rest of the year to do deep dives ✌🏻

[@PengDerick]

@@mazzysmusic Norman I have to disagree with your take on the Peter Green LP... you call it 'jammy' but there are pre-prepared bits, and then there are instant composition things. There are bits where he is jamming, but that's on every rock album of that era. The only think that comes anywhere close to 'Albatross' is maybe the last cut, and even that has a different vibe. Great LP though, good for you for showing it.

[@brucybabyy7355]

@@PengDerick I bought the cd 4 extra tracks couple with vocals

[@mazzysmusic]

@@PengDerick agree that’s it’s great. Sure some tunes were somewhat mapped out but they actually cut out segments of long jams to create most of the album tracks.

[@PengDerick]

@@mazzysmusic I wouldn't doubt the editing, you can hear where a lot of edits are. That's how Crosby's 'If I Could.....LP was done, and many others. The Payne piano solo in 'Dixie Chicken' on Waiting for Columbus was edited to death. You can really hear where the edits are on that one

[@michellequinn3122]

I love Grinderman Pity they didn't make more 😕

[@TKRVideoCentral]

Another great list, Mazzy, gonna have to check some of these! BTW, Efrem Zimbalist Jr didn't appear in the "Airplane" films - he played the captain in the so-bad-it's-hilarious 1974 all star disaster epic "Airport 1975", although he DID later appear in one of the "Hot Shots" films which came from people associated with "Airplane"...:-)

[@mazzysmusic]

Ha thanks. Mixed that up ✌🏼

[@rocky-o]

i'm glad mannix made it in the end...(ha)....but i have heard that neil young album is brilliant....still hoping to find one in the wild...(another ha)....but it's been a great year, an interesting year...and another one on the way....change the calendar..put on some tracy chapman..and see what tomorrow might bring...peace my friend...rocky
