[@roygoad2870]

I don’t buy records anymore, am 69 years old and I’ve passed my 2,000 odd LP’s to my son, it’s a great collection, started buying LP’s from 1963 to the late 1980’s or so, interesting take on the current market for albums, it’s so different from my day. I think it was more fun buying records back in my time when the actual music was made and you could see the artists live! Never heard of albums at 45 rpm kinda weird for me, but I guess it’s business for you guys! I have a single of Sidewinder by Woody Herman great track, also Ken Nordine Colours is a great talking Jazz album! Love the Doors, listen to Moonlight Drive my fave song and the first song they wrote!

[@charlesharper6421]

Cool. Im 67 and have been collecting records since beatlemania. Brother and i split the hoard when we went our separate ways. He lost his through bankruptcy. So half of our stash is gone. But i do still have mine and have augmented it w/my wife’s and two x’s by way of different next door neighbors. Funny thing the last neighbors inventory i annexed were astonishingly close to my tastes and i now have numerous duplicates. Havnt done a deep dive to uncover a valuable hidden gem.re:bowie’s diamond dog cover art . Im confident its not the uber edition of that series. Dont know what will become of them when I embark on the next phase of my evolution. Suppose i might could make some kind if arrangement to pass them along.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

I quit collecting when CDs arrived and I don't regret it. I never listen to my old vinyl, I'm not into clicks and pops. I've updated my collection, and then some, with FLACs on a hi-res player. When I see the price of new vinyl, I just shake my head. The average price in my local record store is around $45 CDN for a single LP. It's absurd. Let's say a person wanted to replace a modest 200 LP collection at that price, it would cost them $9000. Nope.

[@user-zx1ir7jt4c]

​@OMGWTFLOLSMH well... it's all down to supply and demand. The supply is currently low due to high demand... I guess the vinyl pressing factories are slim but the demand is booming now. I think that eventually the supply will go back up and the vinyl craze will die down a bit... then prices will fall. This is a temporary problem. Vinyl records aren't luxury items. As far as pops and cracks go, most of my best records are almost dead silent between tracks. Some of my records need a good cleaning and those do pop a little tad bit but it's not enough to put me off. Digital audio files and vinyl records are apples and oranges to me. I listened to Digital audio for my entire adult life so I really enjoy the warm tone that come from records. That's the best way I know to describe it. I love HiRes Digital audio as well but to me it all has that same flat sound to it... even the best files. Just my 2 cents.

[@alwilliams5177]

​@@OMGWTFLOLSMHToday's audiophile 45RPM records sound amazing. I own records older than me (55) that look and sound new. Most folks have never heard a decent turntable. I went back to vinyl in the mid 90's because with a good needle it sounded better than digital before we got transparency with delta sigma dacs circa 2000. Clean records that were pressed well are very quite.

I began watching this having no idea how great this video would be. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I used to own a small collection of vinyl which has disappeared over the years. Recently, I have considered getting back into collecting. I had no idea. Superb information here. I listened to this twice through. That’s how much I valued the information. Thank you!

Thank You for this really great video. Your insight are so many and so knowledgeable.

So many great records in the video. I'm glad that 2 LP version of Rumours is back in print. I agree that even if you're not a big fan of that era of the band, that particular pressings is a must listen.

[@jmfloyd23]

I totally agree. I have the 1975 Fleetwood Mac 45rpm pressing as well

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

This video taught me one thing If you want all analogue pressings but you don't dig Jazz, you're shit outta luck.

[@gtaylor3350]

Jazz does tend to dominate the audiophile realm for obvious reasons but there has been some 90s rock done all analog in recent years (built to spill, nirvana, pixies, RHCP, Hum, MBV, Spiritualized, Stereolab) I hope to see the major audiophile reissue labels transition toward more recent releases (thinking 90s and newer) because let’s face it a lot of the titles they do have been done over and over and the demographic is getting younger as more young people get into vinyl and some of them get into the audiophile realm

[@scottwheeler2679]

@@gtaylor3350 I would think a very very small percentage of rock music from the 90s was recorded on analog tape to begin with.

[@costume5922]

Thanks Mike. These videos are great and really helpful.

[@jimdalto6254]

[@user-sw4qd2up2s]

I must admit I know very little about Jazz, but I watched this to educate myself. I learned a lot. I never knew different labels put out the same records in different variations. I don't know about mastering or pressing plants or engineers or differences between 45-33 presses, but this video made me want to know more. I'd love o see a video specifically about mastering, engineers and pressing plants for novices. Also would love to know more about tracks and tape reels that you mention. I knew digital recordings are compressed and inferior and lack warmth, but I would like to know more. You seem extremely knowledgeable, which is why I watched a two hour video about records I mostly never heard of. I will be checking out your other vids. I'd like to see a video like this, but about classic rock and 80s metal. I know there are different pressings of some of them as well. Many 80s metal records originals are hard to find, and expensive, and I know some reissues are digital from the CDs. As a big Metalhead I'd like to know the best versions to get, and where to find them. I'm leary of buying used records on eBay or Discogs. Record stores typically charge a lot for used and new metal, not really sure why. I wish a label would put out quality $20-$30 classic Metal (and Thrash) albums. The same applies to 80s Punk, hard o find affordable good copies, and many were not recorded great. Would love to hear really good sounding 80s Punk. One more thing: You mention all these labels and versions, but where do I find them. Would be nice to see an actual list with information. Do you have a website with that information? Thanks, you are not an arrogant, snarky vinyl snob like some guys that make vids, I detest that I'm smarter than you, my collection is better and I'm a show off attitude. Some store owners are like that as well. You seem like a cool dude that would talk music with me if I came into your store. Peace.

Great list MIke, thank you!. By the way, I'd love to hear your opinion on the Original Jazz Classics (OJC) editions of the Prestige/Contemporary catalogue. I think those are an excellent entry into AAA vinyl, those Miles Davis and Coltrane Prestige albums sound killer, and they are super cheap. They also have all those BIll Evans Riverside records in print, they even come with a nice polyline sleeve. Also, when doing another Kind Of Blue shootout, please include the Sony Legacy Mono (originally a Record Store Day release), mastered by Kevin Gray, it sounds great, a good addition to a great sounding stereo version like the UHQR.

When I first started getting into vinyl, I read websites about RCA's Living Stereo recordings. I bought a few, and while they were good, it wasn't until I upgraded my system that I realized how GOOD the recording engineers were at the time. There are so many to recommend, but -- like you -- I am not a classical music fan. However, "The Music From Peter Gunn" and Harry Belafonte at Carnegie Hall" are great starting points. They can also be had for peanuts...

I love the list. Only a handful are currently available. Quite a few are awaiting repress (good to know) but the majority is financially out of reach for me unfortunately. I did find one on this list for $12 that I did not currently have and was marked down from $30 so just that one record made my day. Too bad they cannot make more $20 - $30 high quality records like you said.

[@sgtcreasegrease]

It really sucks that major labels combined with labor shortages and pvc shortages is why some records are going for crazy high prices. Lot of indie labels are getting absolutely squeezed rn, plants are backed up like crazy. Its unfortunate. RIP to all the techno/house DJs that may have had labels in the states place orders with plants in Europe and mess up 12" single releases too. I wish LPs would come down in price but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Hi Mike, watching this video has turned me on to the way you store your records. Makes so much sense; resealable jacket cover, records in back in nice QRP or MoFi sleeves. Could you tell me what brand of resealable jacket covers do you use? Thanks! 🙏

[@arzabael]

The way we enjoy music all comes down to how you were introduced to it, and I’ll never fathom how someone can find the recording quality of a guitar solo more important than the melody it’s playing

Thanks for doing this Mike, I am not sure if you seen my comment the other day but I asked for records under £30 that sound great. You have included quite a few.

[@OrganTheGrinder]

Gillian Welch's studio albums on vinyl are all analogue too. They sound fantastic and I'd highly recommend them. Harrow and the Harvest has been sold out for a couple of years now, but a reissue is coming at the end of February!

[@squidcaps4308]

You would not know about them being analog if no one had told you. There is absolutely nothing magical about analog as a recording medium. If you want the sound that is as close to what was present in the studio you will buy only digital. But you don't really care about sound quality, right?

[@thevinyltruffle]

I’m sure not all of the Parlophone Bowie reissues are analog, but they are all fantastic. I don’t know where they press, but I have nearly the complete Bowie catalogue on Parlophone and they are flawless. Amazing QC out of wherever they are pressed. Great to know my copy of Ziggy is all analogue.

[@willyumlouis]

Agreed 100%. My Bowie reissues from Parlophone are all great sound wise. I have Young Americans, Station to Station, Low, Heroes, Scary Monsters, & Let's Dance. I'm pretty curious who mastered them when I know Optimal Media manufactured them.

[@johnradovich8809]

I live in Colombia. Standing in line at the market of all places saw a few LP’s. Picked up Ziggy (Parlophone) for the equivalent of $30. Sounds very, very good. Also had The Ramones, Fleetwood Mac and the first Zeppelin. Think I’ll pick up the Zeppelin next time.

Even as a long time record collector, and having quite a bit of knowledge myself, I felt out of sync with a lot of what you were talking about, because I dropped out of record buying from about the mid-80s, until around the early 2000's. I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the new record pressing techniques and labels, but it was fun to hear you speak of them and learn about it. Like your father I'm a huge Elvis fan and have many of his albums. I'm a rocker, but when it comes to Elvis, his gospel is some of my favorite music. I'm a "Doors" fan like you and I may look into the Analogue Productions. Also the Bowie album. What really blew me away, is that some Living Stereo production albums are valuable. I've passed up many over the years. I live in an area, basically in the woods, where the public bought Pop, Classical, but mostly Country music. I bring that up only because of the hundreds of Living Stereo albums that I"ve passed up over the years, for about a dollar a pop, at the local Antique stores. Fun and very informative video. I don't you'll respond to my comment, since being a Record Store owner and doing Album videos must keep you busy all the time. If you do respond, what is a "tip up" album cover? Is that what I've always called a gatefold album cover?

Thank You. A Tip On cover is when they glue the printed front slick to the cardboard jacket rather than printing it directly to a blank cardboard jacket.

Hi Mike, have you noticed any problems with the Adele 30 records? I had a couple of questionable copies. I know they were making a ton, 500,000 or so, which caused push back of other records. Thanks for doing this Mike. Mike I just picked up a copy of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messenger's the Big Beat, early 70's purple label with the white B and it sounds fantastic. I also have the new Classic series. I'm going to do a comparison to see which one sounds the best.

I received the Nirvana album and the sound is amazing!

[@Andrewslattery1984]

Mike you need to add Dave Matthews Band Crash to your list. Super vinyl quiet, almost one-step sound from a 33. AAA Bellman cut

[@dilbyjones]

Such a great show

The 24 minute mark was unintentionally hilarious to me! “Huuuh…we’re going” I fully appreciate RSD and the new customers it brings to stores. But man…these are really niche albums. It just becomes a list of word salad after a while. Thanks for doing the video all the same!

[@Hey__Joe]

Can we get a 2022 edition of this video. Love this !

[@antstep1030]

Appreciate it Mike

I'm really psyched about the AP reissues coming out of the Prestige material next year. You can still get OJCs, new but I seems a lot of them are warped from being in storage too long.... 21:01 Don't forget that besides Elvis, the Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra was used extensively in the Film "2001 Space Odyssey". Most people will recognize the music from that movie. I have a common pressing of the Hugh Masakala "HOPE" which is great music but the sound quality is not so great....maybe I have a bad copy?

[@26Jorgeb]

I'm glad you bought the album.Happy spinning.

[@memyselfmyvinyl894]

I'm a member of VMP. I have for qbout a year now and have been rather pleased. I will say even as a member, its sometimes tough to get some titles.

[@JAS-39Gripen]

I don't think I will go back to records as I buy only CDs.I will say it was/is great listening and learning from you.

[@TheKizersoze13]

I think I have had got almost all of these in the last two years. About to pre-order all of those prestige titles that I want to make sure I get.

[@billsmith8739]

Mike great choice of records!! I'm disappointed that the Quicksilver Messenger Service “Happy Trails” from Pure Pleasure sounded like crap and it had no punch to it. I played my Capital black label copy and my reissued copy from Friday Music. They both sounded great!! I also have the first album by Quicksilver Messenger Service on Pure Pleasure and it sounds great!! Maybe I should replay it again....Have you heard the new Doors LA women Box Set with three CD's and one album just got mine and have not played it yet.

[@fatphoca5009]

Great video

[@brentcunliffe745]

The 1966 Slim Harpo reissue “ Scratch my Back “ album on Sundazed is cut by Kevin Gray , pressed at RTI but might be sold out already. It’s in mono and a killer album.

[@Ctophermon]

Wanna get drunk? Watch this video and take a shot everytime Mike says "Kevin Gray" or "Bernie Grundman" LOL

[@erikcontrerasmollinedo4265]

😂😂😂

[@laika25]

Or "this 1 makes my top 5 list" 😅

[@taylorringuette3327]

Hi there Mike. I watch alot of your videos and love the in depth reviews. I hear alot of people say albums done on colored vinyl don't sound as good as on black. Is there truth to this? And if so could you expand a little bit on it? If it's not too much trouble. Thank you
