Vinyl Record Declutter: Should It Stay or Should It Go?

[@retromusings]

Love Gene Loves Jezebel, Altered Images, Romeo Void and Art of Noise. Glad you are keeping those albums. Couldn't agree more that Romeo Void is under-rated. Another big song of theirs is "Girl in Trouble". I believe they were a band from Berkeley California too. Really enjoyed watching. Great series.

[@djstephwest]

Glad to hear there are more Gene Loves Jezebel lovers out there! I agree- Girl in Trouble is a great song.Thanks for the compliments! 🙂

Two adorable things: the pink Kiss shirt and the Golden Girls calendar. I think you made some good choices! Rule of thumb: never get rid of any Devo. You're killing it, Stephanie! I just noticed how quickly your sub count is climbing. Great work!

[@djstephwest]

Devo always stays! Glad you like the bubblegum pink Kiss shirt-funny enough, I found it in the little girls' section at Walmart for $5, and it’s an XXXL. Ha! I’m thrilled to be getting more subs. Thanks so much for watching, supporting my channel, and name-dropping me in your videos! Let me know if you would every be interested in doing a live stream. My email is [e-mail]

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

At first I thought that was The Golden Girls LP Soundtrack which one was never released however apon my research the actual title track theme song was issued on 45 Record comes in a framed display and the disc is minted in gold with that same picture of the cast! It is currently for sale for $127.46. But you can't play it because it is a matted framed acrylic display. 🖼💽🧓👵

[@donnieshoaf]

Yea, it has 13 different versions of thank you for being a friend on it 😂

[@djstephwest]

The calendar does look like a record at first glance, doesn't it? I had no idea there was an unplayable Golden Girls 45 out there. I'm inviting you to play on my team if there is ever a music trivia contest. lol! Have a great night!

[@djstephwest]

@donnieshoaf cracking up 😂 Including- Blanche (remix) Rose (hot dance re-mix) Sophia (extended mix)

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@@djstephwest Thanks and you are welcome! Offer excepted!🤗🤠🙏👍

[@RobertsOnMyTurntable]

[@djstephwest]

Thanks Robert!

[@ChrissHill-im7kj]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year hon.

[@djstephwest]

Happy Holidays to you too!

[@mikecallaway6382]

Great video love your collection I've been selling off some vinyl and sometimes it's hard to let them go! Oh and I love your shirt! Have a great day

[@H-mu4bo]

Some goodies there. These are ones I have/had. 1. Cheap Trick. One on One. 9/10. Second favourite CT album behind "Dream Police". Catchy and no ballads. 2. Altered Images. Pinky Blue. 9/10. Perfect post punk pop album. Massive album in Australia. 3. Romeo Void. Never Say Never. Edgy, great vocals, the perfect alt rock album. 9/10. 4. Jimi Hendrix. Experience Hendrix. 9/10. The best Hendrix compilation. 5. The Eagles. Greatest hits 1&2. Great early compilations. 8/10 6. Poison. Open Up and say Ahhh. Better than Non Jovi but "Look what the cat dragged in" was catchier and less ballads. 6/10. 7. Bros. Late 80's boy band. Massive in England and Australia. Catchy but lacks substance and sounds dated. 3/10.

[@ThatVinylChannel]

The Poison is an early pressing and it's getting harder to find with the alternate cover (no tongue). I don't have that version and would love to find one. I have an original copy of that Gene Loves Jezebel. Great album! Great DEVO 12" single. Great stack of vinyl. You only put a 2 or 3 in the discard pile. That's about the way I go through my stacks as well. Great video!

[@djstephwest]

Good to know about the Poison album! I just checked out the cover with the tongue-definitely cooler looking, haha!

[@davidellis5141]

Hi Stephanie 👋 ! I'm the odd one who likes both Altered Images & Patti Smith. I worked a Patti Smith album at Arista & it was a successful one. Happy Holidays 🎄 !

[@djstephwest]

Thats not odd at all! 😁 I enjoy your stories about working in the music biz. Did you say you you were in marketing?

[@davidellis5141]

Yes , I did alternative marketing at Arista 1984 - 1989. The only odd thing was Clive Davis had hired my Dad in the late 60's but never asked me if I was related to him. I rarely interacted with him as Arista was predominantly a Top 40 label .. Whitney !

[@djstephwest]

Wow, @davidellis5141 Clive Davis is quite the legend. Really interesting. It sounds like you had an amazing career and I bet you have so many great stories to share. Thanks for letting me pick your brain.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

The Call have a song on the Modern Girls Soundtrack which I own on CD yes CD and audio cassette! Actually it's a double CD which includes most of the missing songs not on the 1986 release including both Bruno X aka Scott Rogness songs with bonus extended remixes. 🤗🎥📻💽

[@djstephwest]

Wow, you seem to know a lot about The Call. Thanks for sharing!

[@tudormiller887]

Hello Stephanie! ❤ the KiSS tee. Watching from 🇬🇧

[@djstephwest]

Greetings from the California coast! 🌊 So glad you like the shirt-thanks for tuning in! 😁

[@jettlightning]

I loved that Polyrock album when it was first released. It was played a lot at my house. Anything Bowie is great. I love the Lords Of The New Church, I also like Altered Images. Apparently you have great taste. 👍

[@djstephwest]

The first song I heard from Polyrock was Changing Hearts -really cool song. Sounds like you have great taste too. Thanks for tuning in!

[@catherine6653]

I am glad you are keeping the Eagles compilation set. Great song writing. I like John Denver. I understand why you may not enjoy a children's album. It will make someone happy.

[@djstephwest]

There are so many great on on that Eagles comp and it sound really great.

[@georgemathie8123]

You have some awesome albums in this stack that cheap trick one is a definite favorite of mine and Gene loves Jezebel are so underappreciated and I'm a massive fan discover.snd kiss of life are my favourites and lords of the new church method to our madness love that album and my kingdom come is my favorite song of theirs along with holy war from the debut fun show keep the fun coming

[@djstephwest]

Hi George, You have great taste- Discover is one of my top favs and I have a signed copy of that one. The Lords are awesome! I’ve got more of their records to share in future videos. Holy War is definitely excellent! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@georgemathie8123]

@djstephwest you're very welcome and so a couple of years ago I managed to get the complete CD box set of Gene loves Jezebel it covers from the debut album to kiss of life and it just totally puzzles me why this band is never mentioned or discussed when talking about great bands of the 80s at least fans like us know how great of a band they are and that's the best way to get other fans of 80s music on board

[@jackblondie9424]

I got that Call LP for a buck. Always meant to check out more of their stuff. Romeo Void too.

[@djstephwest]

Great price! I love The Walls Came Down- off the Modern Romans album from 1983. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnbconmDZZegqsUsi=HbA9bTWvq-CvY3n_ Cheers!

[@onmyturntable7036]

No shortage of Eagles fans out there who'll buy anything: you can let that go. Same for that Hendrix comp. You can fetch a decent $$ for those. I love that Call LP. I have that Art Of Noise LP as well. GLJ, The Lords and L&R are definite keepers. Great calendar!

[@djstephwest]

Haha, no kidding! The Eagles are so popular. I like them, but I am even surprised I picked that one up. Who knows, next thing you know you’ll be grabbing some Lynyrd Skynyrd albums as well. Have a great night!

[@SQDLVR]

Bros. (pronounced as Brahs) were a British boy band from the late 80's. The album you have was a best seller worldwide except in the US. Give it a chance

[@djstephwest]

@@SQDLVR I will. Thanks for the info!

[@SQDLVR]

@ its an acquired taste but if you like danceable bubblegum like Wham or Waterfront, this fits right in

[@EmbryonicRobot]

I have a tough time purging records, but my space crunch is forcing my hand. I wouldn't keep any John Denver!

[@djstephwest]

I agree with you-that's why my to-go stack is small. Poor John Denver! Have a great day!

[@JJ-qs9hu]

Bros is good cheese pop. I have their second album . The two brothers in the group are really great singers.

[@djstephwest]

Thanks, good to know. I just listened to Push. Reminded me of a cross between Bobby Brown and and New Kids on the Block. I admit it wasn't bad- but Im still getting rid of it.

[@ChrissHill-im7kj]

Hope you had a very nice Thanksgiving..

[@djstephwest]

Thank you, it was great. Still eating leftovers! Hope you did too!

[@mariawesley7583]

Hi, Stephanie. There are a lot of Muppets super fans out there. You might find that's the selling point of that record. Love that 16 month Golden Girls 2025 calender. You can break it out and start using it now! Nice way to welcome in 2025.

[@djstephwest]

Good advice. I will see if I can sell the Muppets album. Glad you liked the calendar. I am looking forward to putting it up! Rose is the calendar girl of January. lol. Hey, I was intending on contacting you to see if you would like to do a livestream. Email if you are interested. [e-mail]

[@rkid67]

You can dump the Eagles. You'll never get away from those songs.

[@CDRabbitHole]

Great video - and great SHIRT!

[@djstephwest]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@johnbarrett5268]

This what I love about music collections we all have unique tastes

[@djstephwest]

Hi John, I agree-it’s always interesting to see what people choose to collect.

[@johnbarrett5268]

Art of noise are great

[@johnbarrett5268]

You had bros lol
