Fantastic scenic & memorabilia tour JT . Thanks Ted ! Awesome pickups JT 😎👌 Those Motels albums are great !

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Agreed, thanks, Ted ! He's enjoying his trades, and for me, I'm enjoying his records ! Next week, I'll bring him Chucago V... The 2002 Rhino re issue Cd w/ bonus tracks. I have a whole set, so I ordered one. They are now 15 dollars used ! Thanks, Craig 🎵

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

This snowfall assures folks west of us, plenty of water throughout the coming summer.. The skiers and boarders are ecstatic after this dump ! Flying Color.. The jangly SF band was a nice pick-up as well. ✨️

[@stevebender4546]

JT, beautiful scenery! That Lita Ford is awesome. Well hell both are cool. Oh man lots of cool autographs. Great records also. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I try to have fun with these videos, and I have been looking at Ted's wall of fame for years.. Thought it was a good time to show it off and honor my buddy ! I also bought the Man O War debut from him, Steve.. Battle Hymn" gold stamp promo 1st press ! Killer metal album, I dig it 👍

[@mazzysmusic]

Another great tour. Beautiful landscapes and of course great records. Cool seeing all the signed photos. I had totally forgotten about Our Daughters Wedding. Saw them a couple of times in San Francisco. Cheers to you ✌🏻

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I love 80's bands, so diverse, and generally good ! I watched Our Daughter's Wedding , a live video on KZbin.. Really excellent and fun ! 🎵 Thanks

[@berwickshiremike51]

Great views of the snowy mountains. Thanks for showing Ted's memorabilia, signed Beach Boys and what a collection of their records wow. ODW and Panther Burns are superb. Elton Motello looks worth checking out. I didn't realise The Motels had so many albums. Great pick ups.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

The Motels are pretty cool, Mike, as I have re discovered lately.. And I didn't realize they had that many, as well ! Elton Motello's original version of "Jet Boy Jet Girl" is excellent !

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

What a honey whole J.T. Love your Videos Brother!

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I'm glad you like them Robbie.. Ted is a class act, and I was surprised when he wanted to start trading. I made friends with him when he managed our local Tower Records here in Reno, up until they closed in 2004. Thanks, Again !

[@jasonadams371]

I always enjoy watching to see what you get always interesting stuff and a lot I have not heard of so it's neat to go listen to some of these artist and songs

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Been at work all day ! Thanks, Jason. I have been fortunate to meet both Ted and Bill. It's been quite a musical journey ! Cheers 👍🎵

[@shaunspins]

A lot of snow and great photos. Nice to see the 7in for love and mercy

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Isn't that a great tune ! I like Brian's simple, stripped-down version of Love & Mercy the best ! See you, Shaun 🎵

[@retromusings]

My goodness...thanks so much for taking us along this journey. Beautiful views. Fun to see a car ignition as a cutaway too! 🙂Fantastic video. My heart jumped when you pulled out The Motels record. Love them. Bit biased as they are from Berkeley CA and I saw them play at a club gig back in the day! Wonderful to see all that memorabilia.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Funny.. I'm spinning The Motels debut, right now ! Sean went out front to play, which gave me a chance to listen to records ! My roommate back in '79.. Frank went on to play with Martha Davis ( Bass ) and The Motels for a short while down in L.A. He was really proud of that ! Ted managed the Berkeley Tower in the late 80s or early 90s. Thanks ! 🎵

[@Cookingwithsteveg]

Beautiful scenery! What a great collection of music memorabilia. How great it is that Ted has kept all those records in such amazing condition! You brought home some cool titles, JT. Not just the usual suspects but some lesser known obscure artists. Stay warm, buddy.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

The road is a new parkway that connects South Reno to Sparks through the wetlands.Thanks for watching this one, Steve. This is also a way that I can honor my friend. He managed Anaheim, L.A. Berkeley and Reno Tower stores, I forget which LA location..

[@Cookingwithsteveg]

@@jtsrecordroom3963 Nice to hear that some of your tax dollars are being put to good use. That’s a great career he had! I frequented the West Covina and Brea California, Tower locations back in day. I was so sad to see them close down. In my record store I framed an old Tower Records bag and it said R.I.P. on it. It was behind the register counter.

[@mad4vinyl802]

I had to watch this one a couple times, those pictures and autographs are amazing! I love the Brian Wilson one. Ted has an impressive collection of Beach Boy albums! I love the blink-182 poster. Amazing! I’ve never seen a copy of The Many Moods of Murray Wilson! Some great pick ups as well Jt.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I'm enjoying the more obscure 80's bands, and the debut Motels seems to be my favorite, so far ! His old stock of mint records is amazing, I'm going back over on Monday. Might try for one mire Blondie 45 and 80's Beach Boys singles. Thanks, Mark ✌️

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Some very nice Beach Boy pickups JT. I really love that Motels album, that is my favorite from them. Enjoy the new records

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I remember you showing that Motels record, Steve. I do like their debut as well an awful lot. Blondie on the Japanese 45 is cool, too ! 😊

[@vinylmartini3377]

Some more fantastic finds Jt, many artists new to me. I got that fourth Motels record for 60 cents in the collection I picked up😁. Those photos on the wall were great. Cheers brother.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I remember seeing your Motels on that killer recent haul of yours ! I also have been buying sealed Foghat records from Ted.. And I have a new honey hole at a guys home as well, right here in town ! He has Sealed Bob James, Isaac Hayes.. and some Foghat records. Also, picked up a "Wild Tales" ( 1974 ) from Graham Nash that I have been looking for forever

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi JT!!! what an awesome job must have been working at Tower Records...... to me the perfect job, lol. so cool to see all those sined pictures and btw those two early Lita Ford are killer too. cheers and be well

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Thanks, Cristian ! Ted's stories about his Tower days are amazing, and I'm lucky to be getting these records from him.. I keep spending, but that's alright ! I didn't show my Man O War debut.. I really like it ! 🤘

[@analogworld7]

First! 🔥❤️🇵🇭… great finds again 👍

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Thank you ! These were fun, and I listened to most of them so far. I have a big collection and I thoroughly enjoy it ! Appreciated .🎵

[@vikingbrace]

Those were some pretty cool autographs. Loved the Lita Ford Out for Blood. Those BB singles, and of course Blondie, were really nice!

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I'm free ! 😅 Just got off of work, slow today.. I'm stoked to have both of those Lita LPs in perfect shape. Also, I have a Man O War " Battle Hymn" ( debut ) from Ted.. Excellent classic metal that I had never heard before !

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Thanks, Gary.. My favorite of the bunch is Beach Boys Rareties.. And Blondie Denis Denis on that Japanese 45 !

[@davidellis5141]

Loved The Motels who Capitol were very patient with & were rewarded with many hits. Dean Chamberlain from the underrated Code Blue eventually rejoining them as he was a member in the early days. A Madame Wongs band !

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Madame Wongs.. I will look that up, it rings a bell, LA right ? Love The Motels, and this will bring me back into their greatness, compiling these records ! I even picked up their debut as well from another friend 🎵 Thanks so much !

[@gottogetit4142]

Great video JT..awesome pick-ups....the few Blonde pick-ups are incredible

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

That Blondie 7' is a total banger ! It's sealed in that weird plastic.. I am tempted to put in in a clear sleeve, we'll see ! Denis Denise !!! 😄 Thanks !

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Thanks so much ! I love that Blondie single Denis Denis" I hear it was a massive hit in Europe back in the day ! Love these records from my friend 🎵

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Great trip. Loved the house tour. He had some greats on that wall. Liked the albums.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Interesting records, Tony ! Thoroughly enjoyed this stack ! I listened to the self titled Linda yesterday ( 1972 ).. Her "Rock Me On The Water" and Rescue Me" is excellent, the whole record is good ! have you picked your number #1 yet for your Linda ranking ? Thank you, always ☺

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

@@jtsrecordroom3963 you can’t play enough of Linda. Yes I did. The video is up. :)

Just watched it.. spot on ! And I love every single one of the 11 that you mentioned. I'm only missing the debut after The Stone Poney's 😊

[@EmbryonicRobot]

Toronto has had, uncharastically, almost no snow this winter. It is really bizarre. Elton Motello! That is pretty cool. Lots of cool records. You have a good eye.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Thanks, Brian.. I know I show a lot of mainstream stuff. but I do like great under the radar bands as well ! Check out Elton Motello's original " Jet Boy Jet Girl " 👍

[@harryriles8609]

I was wondering if you got burned in snow. Looks like alot. Cool memorabilia and some great records. That first box all the spines looked so clean you know you are going to have a good day picking😂

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Yeah.. The spines are so perfect, as the records are also ! We only had 1 foot of snow out front of our house, but way up high.. 10 feet ! Thanks, Harry ☺️

[@MikeMihlo-lv9iy]

Wow ! What a treasure trove ! All in one place ! Cool memorabilia and story's ! ✌️

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Yeah, Mike ! It's only been recent that my friend was ready to cut loose with some of his Tower records ! The lesser known titles are excellent.. Bands that were promoted through the labels and distributed to Tower.. And Ted ! Thanks 🙂

[@RandyforRoyals]

Ted has met some amazing music artists and has quite the Beach Boys collection. You showed quite a few artists that are new to me. I do have that Motels album (Shock) and need to look for some more. It's cool that you pried some Beach Boys records from his collection.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I hope to get a copy of Friends, and possibly Smiley Smile.. or not ! Haha😅 I don't blame him for not letting those go ! I am really enjoying The Motels records lately. and the debut, for some reason, is my favorite, so far ( rediscovering them actually ). See you, Randy

[@catherine6653]

Nice video. My favorite was the autograph pictures and the 7 inch singles. Rock and Roll Rescue is a fun song 🎵.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Hello there ! Worked all day, it's Monday, for me. I see Ted's photos on the wall. often, and finally thought it would be a good idea to film them,, in honor of my friend ! Thank you, Catherine ✨️

Not gonna lie, that’s amazing, Ted and and all these artists… I was in the music business for a few years here in Montreal and have met a few people myself but wow!!! Have many friends here that are still working for a few companies including Sony!! A video visit with him is coming soon 😎🎶✌🏼

Lol, never heard of a musician named Elton other than you know who. It's funny they both changed their names, Elton John took his name from a old bandmate in Bluesology, Elton Dean, hopefully his name was genuine, lol. Nice haul video.

[@benrankins4446]

I cannot imagine snow...never seen it in real life. I saw Panther Burns a long time ago. In-between every song he'd pull out his comb to fix his perfectly styled quiff. Great wild rockabilly stuff. A lot of things that I'd never heard of in this one Jt. Some nice Beach Boys & Blondie at the end. Cheers...Ben

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Carl Tweed had also seen Tav Falco & Panther Burns back in the day ! Flying Color from San Francisco is excellent, and Elton Motello's " Jet Boy Jet Girl" is the original version.. I like The Motels debut, probably the best in their catalog.. So far !

Hi JT. At the start of the video Flying Color and Tav Falco jumped out at me. Sure enough you picked them up. I've seen Tav Falco live. He had a lady join him on stage and they danced a tango. I'm no dance expert, but it sure felt authentic and impressive to me.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I picked up more, will save for next time ! If anyone was going to know a few of these artists.. It's you, Carl ! I like every single one of these records, I picked up The Motors as well 🎵

@@jtsrecordroom3963 I know the name Elton Motello, but I've never heard anything by him. The original version of 'Jet Boy Jet Girl' was called 'Ca Plane Pour Moi' by Plastic Bertrand. It was a massive hit in Europe (including the UK). It was still being used on a TV advert in recent years.

Right.. Although Alan Ward ( Elton Motello ) wrote the song, you'll see. Interesting how much of a life the song had !

Hi. Just found your channel via a recommend for your Amoeba Records visit. Very cool. If you're interested in The Saints, the solo career catalogue from original Saints member, Ed Kuepper is quite superb. I've been a keen listener of his for around 40 years now. Just a recommendation for you to consider. Here's a subscribe and like. Cheers 🍻 from Oz.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I have become aware of Ed Kuepper in the last couple of years, and I watch my friends channel in Melboune.. Ben Rankins. I will see about finding his solo stuff in the near future.. I hope to find that elusive Saints debut eventually. My mates from Brisbane had turned me onto the band way back in '81.. Since then, I got involved in my usual suspects, and more ! Thanks for the kind words.. I try to make things interesting.
