Ok, the records on the river story. It was 1969. I was 9 and I was walking home with my 3 younger sisters from the fair in downtown Guelph. Ontario, Canada. On the way we crossed the mighty Speed River and I looked over and what did I see but a pile of 45s in the river. I couldn't believe it. Our house was only 5 minutes away, so I sent my sisters home and went down for some free records. Unfortunately I don't have them anymore. I think there were 5 or 6, 45s. The only one I remember is The Moody Blues, "Ride My See Saw". This has since been one of my favorite songs. And I have a confession...my 1st album was K-Tels 22 Fantastic Hits. I stole it from Woolworths in 1973. The next year I met an older kid that said he had 22 albums! I thought that if I had 22 records, I would never get tired of music. A year or so later, I hit 100. I was so proud. It's a very bad habit and I love it.

[@Channel33RPM]

That is a great story!

[@rooty]

How did you manage to shoplift something as big as an LP?

[@Rockoli]

This is seriously such a cool series, Frank. It’s really fun to take a peak in everyone’s record rooms. Well done!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thank you! I always feel like I'm snooping when I do these vids, haha. I get a lot out of them, and always learn something new. Cheers

[@rickdrake9850]

These are great episodes. Really like seeing how everybody enjoys this hobby.

[@scottmackenzie6699]

Always cool to check out these music holes in people’s homes. When my wife feels like I’m getting out of control, I can refer her to this video for reference.

[@Channel33RPM]

Haha, nice!

[@stevescott200]

I'm green with envy, that second guys Zappa collection

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

Thanks Frank and many thanks to the VC for sharing their vinyl getaways(and CDs). Lots of memorabilia spread out in those rooms. Especially liked the shelves laid flat to flip through like in a record store. Cheers

[@Flannelsurfer]

I have those same gray shelves from Target. Very sturdy and inexpensive. Brand name is Threshold.

[@hi-fihaven2257]

Thanks For another great episode. All the rooms in this episode are awesome. Love to see other guys collections, and setups. I still have 2000+ CD's. Have a great one Frank!

[@jeffnelson6904]

Love this series...what a blast to watch!!

[@lawnboyfreak]

Thank you Frank and all of Franks viewers! I love these videos and everyone’s rooms! So much GOOD stuff.

[@lawnboyfreak]

BTW... I love the “Clerks” poster!

[@mick_c_horror_and_pop_culture]

Wow, Frank! Those viewers rooms' are incredible. Especially the Horror collectibles . That Regan/Exorcist bobblehead ( shown in photo, collection room)is super expensive. 🤘🏼🎃

[@sounding1972]

Always look forward to watching a new Vinyl Dens episode-probably my favorite series on KZbin! 🏆

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks man!

[@toneyisaiah408]

It looks like a huge music library full of everything. Sir, you can walk through those rooms like a maze.

[@syke512]

This is a really cool segment. There's so many amazing collections around the world. It's great to see some of them and your dig into the equipment they use

[@Carsonchildersmusicnow]

Favorite segment ever!

[@marcmorris1800]

another stellar episode....fun to see other peoples music domains

[@TheAccusationNetwork]

LOVE when you do Vinyl Dens! Always interesting to see other people's listening environments. Some good ideas in a few of these, too.

[@peterrech2307]

Hi Frank, Great video as per usual. Grundig were a german audio manufacturer, now owned by a Turkish white goods company. In the 1980./90;s they developed the best active (amplified) speakers ever made but dropped them when Philips took control of the company and trned it into a Philips clone. take care.

[@tomfurgas2844]

I vote for the Pipco room! He's a Zappa fan, like me! "Pipco" was a logo on a t-shirt that Zappa wore on the cover of his "Lumpy Gravy" album. Zappa rules! Also love that wall of cassettes. I have a friend who has collected home-taper tapes (original music, not mixtapes) for decades and he has literally thousands of them. But they are all in storage now while he galavants around eastern Europe. Great music rooms, Frank! I'd show you my room but it's not really that attractive, kind of a crammed heap of CD's and equipment and what-not. Not visually appealing but when I have the music going it SOUNDS great.

[@stephenmkeer]

Great to see more music/nerd rooms 😂👍 very inspiring.

[@gr0nky]

Love this segment. Keep them coming Frank

[@668_neighbor_of_the_beast6]

Love these episodes. Keep them coming.

[@troy167]

These vids are inspiring me to get off my ass and step up my game. My room has potential, but I've just not been giving it much love due to work, life, etc.... My records deserve a cool room. I need to get on that.... Thanks for all you do Frank!

[@MinnesotaMax]

Great video, Frank! These rooms are something to aspire to! I just have massive stacks of boxes! Love it!

[@mrhoffame]

Love having you back brotha!!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Brandon! I'd love to show your room on an episode someday. Your setup in amazing my friend! Frank

[@frankkuth5635]

This channel rules like no other. Room #4 is my favorite. Enjoy your hobby, folks.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks dude!

[@bobby666666]

Love the long shot of one of the earlier featured rooms. Nice to to the 90s Rotel Receiver. Same style controls on the Rotel RCD965BX CD player I got in 93.

[@bobqualls257]

Great vid! I am envious of all of these vinyl dens.

[@olivergrunseis2947]

Thx, for the feature! Really like the other rooms, they are all great!

[@Channel33RPM]

Great room you have Oliver!

[@MikeGuitarPlayer07]

Wow lots of killer setups and rooms!

[@hmetaljustin]

This is very cool to check out other peoples music rooms. Also to get some new ideas too!

[@cpta03]

Really enjoy these music room tours. My music room is a work in progress. One of these days I’ll finish and send you some photos. After about 3 years of searching, I finally found and purchased a pristine Technics SL-1200 MK II at a reasonable price last December. It was well worth the wait! I hope you find one soon.

[@yorkemar]

Bought one of the last 1210s mk2 in 2010..they are a beast.. Zand sound good too.

[@mrrubot4678]

New to your channel, I'm really glad I found it. Love this series!

[@Channel33RPM]

Welcome aboard!

[@roberttoews2775]

That was fun. Also creates a lot of ideas for my own den. :)

[@Keziapurrs]

Love this series so much! Eventually i'll send my room pics in.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Lisa! I am going to try to do one of these Vinyl Dens episodes every month or 2. I look forward to seeing your photos. Frank

[@rontasker69]

Love it . I have to get on my game and clean out my daughters room that moved out a year ago

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

Some really nice rooms!!

[@Bogansguidetowine]

Hey there Frank, thanks for featuring my room and giving the show another plug! I have just returned from Bali so I am in home quarantine for a two weeks (not complaining, it’s like an extension to the trip overseas) although I have been kicked off Facebook for a bit, I guess they think my account has been compromised but this just adds to the feeling of isolation and as a result I can’t return the favour and share this video with my viewers...yet. You are always welcome to visit if you make it to Oz one day. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Sampy!!! Stay well

[@vinylcity1599]

Man, I'm hooked on these episodes now! I dig soundtracks too!

[@vinylcity1599]

I also dig CDs!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks! I'll do another one in April. Frank

[@TheBoomerPlace]

Very very cool 😎

[@cassandralyris4918]

It'd be pretty fun for you to come out to AZ. There's some good old and new record hunting in the Phoenix and Tucson areas.

[@djtrishm]

Frank this is a very cool episode. Thumbs up! Trish

[@Channel33RPM]

Thank you Trish. I appreciate the comment. Frank

[@jobarrios]

I like this videos, very nice to see how other people have set their stuff. If you like wine, come over to Colorado, there are over 200 bottles waiting for you in my house. Cheers

[@edz20four]

Wow! Awesome dens...another awesome episode frank. I hope to be able to share my collection when i am finally done building my room.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Edmund. Good luck with your room. Frank

[@kana4114]

Awesome

[@elizabethveldonstuff]

i second upgrading to the blue stylus - it's amazing

[@jeffreycrawford4072]

Shawn 's collection has some serious aesthetic value that I doubt I will ever be able to approach. Kudos! I completely agree with your assessment of the Ortofon Blue 2M. That cartridge has brought new life to my LP collection. Pipco & his Pedragon speakers rock. If I'm him, I wouldn't give out my full name, either. That collection would attract too much attention otherwise. Impressive! Oliver & his CD collection! Chris with the De La Soul album. Great call there. I really like his "now playing" or queue box. I would love to be able to find something like that. Sorry: no Michael Myers, no good- lol! Chris's storage solution is ingenious & looks great. Jason SHOULD be a horror fan with that name :). Paul has a serious LP & cassette collection! Nothing finer than the Fisher Price player, though! Keep 'em coming!

[@MitchGurowitz]

This is fun, I’m sure I (over)qualify, but rarely have that level of organization as pictured. I’m 11 years older than you, but started earlier than most. (My grandfather was an engineer at a Rock radio station in the 1960’s). Cheers!

[@mikefinney423]

12:34 "General shit not welcome in the house." Hilarious!! My shit not welcome in the house fills a 10 x 20 storage unit.

[@gnayr1305]

Another fine video. We really like inviting you and your channel into our home on Sunday afternoons. Thanks again. 🤘

[@Channel33RPM]

That's awesome. I am happy to be part of your Sunday! Frank

[@codybrockway1616]

I dig this series. New to your channel pal. You’ve got a Canadian subscriber here. Caledonia Ontario... love music own my own record store Second Chance Records here in town. Love your vids and can’t wait to watch some more, cheers 😃🎵

[@Channel33RPM]

Awesome, thank you!

[@vinylterry]

Great variety of rooms.

[@tomh8482]

Greet video love these mini tour’s.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Tom. I dig putting these vids together. Frank

[@paulkane2391]

Great video, Frank - as always - Love to see other people's rooms - really good for getting the creative juices flowing. BTW - All the tapes on that wall have stuff on them; my blanks are in shoe boxes and dresser drawers - the ones that look blank/sealed have old Grateful Dead shows on them. Cheers -

[@Channel33RPM]

That is awesome Paul. Love the set up! Thanks for sending the photos. Frank

[@paulkane2391]

@@Channel33RPM The Technics SL-1350 is essentially an SL-1200, but with full auto controls and repeat, stacking spindle options, and no pitch control. The architecture is largely the same.

[@davidellis5141]

I an looking forward to something being 👀 in one of these rooms that at first glance wasn't ! 😳

[@bryanshirley3264]

Inspiring

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Awesome music zones shown 🤘

[@gustavlans7880]

Really cool episode! It feels so good not being alone in my addiction collecting VINYL! Been buying LP’s since I was twelve, first record I bought was the US version of MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR with the 12” booklet; next up I( think!) was RAMONES MANIA 2LP of their great and humouros music (labeled PUNK?). In 1991 I was in a punkband called APKOSTYM (Monkey Suit;) We took the name from a song by the PLASMATICS) we choosed that in an even battle of SLAKTARBEBIS (Butcher baby). I I think that year the RAMONES played in Sweden as opening act for IGGY POP and me being a ’baby-punk’ I had to absorb the RAMONES, therefore I got the MANIA 2LP. That was decades ago… My collection of MUSIC on vinyl (not the label!) has grown and still is! I think I have ’round 4.500 albums now. All genres from classic to heavy metal. I also collect labels, CTI, Blue Note, LIMELIGHT a s o… I recently had a whiff of nostalgia and achieved another C-64 ’breadbin’ and beingf a total nerd I got an old keyboard from Italy via fleabay- ;-) I’d like to show some of my stuff in a later VINYL DENS episode! Regards!/ Gustav

[@seanmckee5185]

Hey Frank! Thanks for the nice review of my room (the first one). To answer a couple questions, the shelves are indeed Kallax from Ikea. It is the Walnut grey finish. The bat we got in exchange for Frank Thomas’s 499th home run ball. The one we use for intruders is kept by the door! Thanks again! Cheers!

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks for the info Sean. You have a great space. Frank

[@StuntrockConfusion]

Love that "Miniatures" copilation LP in the second room. It's got a great track rom the elusice Trevor Wishart, and tons of other greatness from Frith, Wyatt, etc... My room's got about 10000 LPs, but it looks nothing like those fancy places.

[@frederikjacob1985]

Great video again Frank! Love it! Good to hear that you are going to buy an sl1200 mk2! In my opinion the best turntable ever made! I'm searching for a Ltd version of the sl 1200 that's a bit affordable for my living room set up. Will send you soon some pictures and the list of my music room! Cheers!

[@Channel33RPM]

Awesome Frederik! I look forward to seeing your pictures. Frank

[@RebelGamingClub]

Just found your channel!! Really digging the vibe and the passion.

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Rebel! I appreciate it. Frank

good vid frank, wish i had a room... got the lounge only with my hifi and games console in it, along with around 1000 cds and about 100 records...... so far lol

[@martinelesueur8633]

it's really cool your piece of music

[@GerrodCarper]

Nice Video!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@stlydan]

Ah, you just answered my question at the end of this video....cheers

[@dblaandy]

WAY KOOL!

[@paulwibb.8944]

Hay frank,, some great rooms here, 👍,, treat yourself to a 1210,, 😁

[@thevinyltruffle]

Turned my blue eyes green.

[@BriansVinylRecords]

I love this series. Keep them coming. I'd be interested in Chris' signed AC/DC album. Who signed it. Lots of signatures on that one. Great stuff.

[@nostromospicks3301]

Brian's Vinyl Records my former work collegues at my last day 😄

[@johnrobles1572]

The Technics 1200 was also used in radio stations.

[@Therealbackslabbath]

Black, black everything in BLACK!!

[@garypranzo9334]

Just picked up a Sony PSLX310BT and added it to my home theater setup Marantz 6014 and B&W DM603 S3's. I know the turntable is basic but it sounds great. If I get into this more I will upgrade to something higher end for the turntable. It is a big room but It does have a good amount of sound treatment which I installed for movies. I own vast a collection of 30 records(LOL) but my wife wants to go buy more tomorrow so that will change.

[@TheHSIHP]

Halloween III is a great horror flick! Underrated.

[@Channel33RPM]

I agree. I think many people never get it a chance, because of the absence of Michael. Taken on it's own, it's a cool flick. Frank

[@TheHSIHP]

@@Channel33RPM Absolutely! It's got a David Cronenberg feel to it. Anyway, rock on. Maybe someday I will participate in vinyl dens. My set up is part in my bedroom, part in our one year old's room, and another in the basement. You gotta do what you gotta do!

[@KevinKohlhase]

Nice killer rooms.

[@beefheart1410]

I wasn't surprised to see a wealth of Zappa material in PipCos music room: PipCo is associated with Zappa as Zappa is wearing a PipCo t-shirt on the sleeve of Lumpy Gravy.

[@AndyP126]

I have 3 times as many CDs and I have records. According to Discogs, I have 671 CDs, one SACD, and 187 records.

[@TheBudgie29]

I have Three SL1210mk2's, a Rega P3 In It's Box now. You should get hold of a SL1210mk2 or even a SL1200 both are equally great.

[@joet_swbo101]

I also have the black audio Technica. I paired mine with a Shure m97x cartridge. Unfortunately, they stopped making them and now the price has skyrocketed.

Many rooms would be cool place to hangout. It would be really cool to have vinyl records in room like they are in record store. But I don’t have enough room. mr. Finglish (Bäd English Recs)

[@danieldaniels7571]

Bad English Recs the place where I have my storage had two old-school record racks by the dumpster. There’s no way I have room for them in my apartment, but I still regret not getting them into my storage for the day I buy a house.

The shelves are ikea kallax. Perfect for records. Shelves measure at 13"sq

[@carravagio16]

two more days till halloween halloween halloween, SILVER SHAMROCK!!! Hey frank i just picked up a pair of Paradigm speakers, i believe they are made in your neck of the woods. I absolutely love them. Have you ever had any Paradigm's?

[@Channel33RPM]

Yes, Paradigms are great. I never had a pair, but my friend did. They are very well regarded here in Canada. Frank

[@rooty]

Three more days to halloween, silver shamrock! Enjoy that lol

[@avehein]

The first one, the shelves looked like Target. I actually got the same color. The look nice but very cheap feeling.

[@brandxreviews]

Halloween III, not such a great film but the Soundtrack was ace. I got it on LP here in the UK a few months back.

[@Channel33RPM]

Oh man... once that Silver Shamrock jingle gets stuck in your head... it's there for awhile...

[@toneyisaiah408]

My room is not all tricked out.I have a nice sized record collection.

Great segment let me know if you are taking photos for up and coming video. Kind regards Frank

[@stlydan]

Been peaking in on the Vinyl Community since its inception, but just recently came across your channel during the quarantine madness. I'm a 56 year old healthcare administrator in Memphis TN that spent 15 years in radio in my previous life. I have a lot of promo discs that were never available to the public and what I consider a classic old-school system (Marantz 2250B, Bose series II 601s, etc) but my question is how do I get pics to you to share on your vinyl den?

[@Channel33RPM]

I just saw you other comment. I look forward to seeing the pics!

[@grandpipco]

Hi Frank. I'm Pipco. real name Dominic Giovinazzo and I live in Toronto. Pipco is a Frank Zappa name he used that I have adopted. Some may notice the Zappa stuff around he room. I also have an album on CD from 2004, that I would love for you to hear. I can send you a copy if you are interested. Love your channel

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Dominic! That is very nice of you. What album is it? I am asking just to make sure I don't have the CD already. Frank

[@grandpipco]

@@Channel33RPM you don't have this cd. I did it as an independent and it was never properly released. Very non typical and Zappesque. Lots of real voices from family, friends, evangelists, ham radio ops having a verbal war on shortwave. I recorded their voices on a Friday the 13th with a full moon, back in 97. It will be an experience, if you dare. I can send it if I get an address. Cheers and happy spinning, Dom

[@2574mcu]

I wish that person would tell the story about the records in the river.

[@lauher21]

Great video Frank I would also love to hangout with you and buy you a beer if you are ever in the phx or San Diego area. Did you get a better copy of Ozzy?

[@Channel33RPM]

Thanks Christopher! No, I have not got a new copy of the Ozzy yet... looks like Amazon canceled by 3rd order... Frank

[@dixielandfarm]

I still haven't been able to find a 1200 table - I keep an eye out but they are always sold in pairs and beat up in my area.

[@Channel33RPM]

I agree.. they are very hard to source locally. I am seriously thinking about getting one from Japan. Frank

[@troy167]

I HAVE to know the river record story...please ask that dude to tell us!

[@trentonkidd7120]

Could you make your next video on your opinion of Crosley Record Players. I've seen so many videos of how bad Crosley Record Players, so please put your opinion into it. Thank You!!! I have a Crosley Record Player and I dont want to tear up my records!!

[@Channel33RPM]

I did a vid on the Victrola record player last year, which is similar to the Crosley: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpzJc5-sj7yNrKs My take is, if a cheap, all-in-one turntable gets people into vinyl, then what is the big deal? Keep on Spinning! Frank

[@hirambright9357]

I have a Pro-Ject Carbon Debut with a red Ortofon cartridge. I am thinking of upgrading to a blue cartridge. The problem is, I only find them online. Do some record stores or audio gear shops offer installation services?

[@Channel33RPM]

yes, they do here.

[@markfx12]

So you prefer still shots or a video? And can you recommend anyone in the San Francisco area that specializes in cleaning Bachelor audio caves?

[@Channel33RPM]

Still shots please. They are easier to work with. Thanks!

[@idontsmile666]

The pronunciation of rega in the uk is "ree-gah" i use the updated version of the rp1 (planar 1) with the bias 2 cartridge also from rega, for a beginner setup, can't get amy better.
