Vinyl Tag 2024: My Vinyl Obsession

[@thebuxtstopshere]

Love the ref Mandela.. My county never escapes music and more. Most important Tracey Chapman 1988 live in Zimbabwe |note ZA neighbor] was a concert I wish all the people watching this could have experienced. Rock on 🎉 Happy new year.

[@VUmeters]

I'm glad you enjoyed the reference to Mandela. Music really does have a way of transcending and bringing people together. Happy New Year to you too! 🎉 -Rich

[@SteveWhitty1965]

Hi Rich, just discovered and subbed. Good answers to Rob's questions. Good call to show GnR.

[@VUmeters]

Hi Steve, thanks for subscribing, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@ConcertBuddie]

Jumping in with both feet - love to see it! Great Tag video. Funny we both flashed that Sheryl Crow. Appreciate the shoutout 🙏🏻. Now let’s get those shelves behind you filled asap 😂

[@VUmeters]

Thanks, Chance! I appreciate the kind words and the support. If I got all of my albums off of the floor, the shelves would be pretty full. I'm working on it! I'm glad you enjoyed the shoutout. I'm a big fan of your channel.

[@jasonarsenault3791]

Zeppelin 3?! Finally some love for that one. Waiting to find a solid pressing of it. I just got that Aretha album for Christmas! Keep the great work. You’re a natural at this.

[@VUmeters]

Nice to find another LZ3 fan. Tangerine and That's The Way are two of my favorites. Enjoy Aretha Live, and thanks for the kind words.

[@NickP333]

VU! So cool to see your channel! Sweet Nimbus WYWH. Damn…. I’m surprised Patrick was willing to let that go. Killer records. Love The Smiths 45’s. Cool to see a Flipper 45 too. Illmatic is definitely a 90’s classic. Great stuff, Rich! 🔊😊🎶

[@VUmeters]

Thanks Nick! Glad you enjoyed my channel and records. The Nimbus WYWH is special, and I'm lucky to have a copy. I'm glad you agree that Illmatic is a classic. More videos coming soon! 🤘 -Rich

[@northcarolinavinylpicker]

Welcome to the VC. I’ll be watching

[@VUmeters]

Thank you, I'll be cranking out more videos.

[@Wyoming_Dave]

i showed the same 2 Guns N Roses records!! very cool,rich

[@VUmeters]

You beat me to it Dave. Great minds think alike.

[@AndyG11774]

Nice video, Rich! Very cool Abbey Road and WYWH pressings!

[@VUmeters]

Thanks, Andy. They are two of my favorite albums.

[@retromusings]

Excellent video tag. Really enjoyed watching and hearing about your choices and the reasons behind them. Look forward to seeing more from your channel.

[@VUmeters]

Thank you. I appreciate your comment and am looking forward to making many more videos.

[@lostmixtapes]

Congrats on the channel. I enjoyed your responses. Fun seeing those Smiths singles too. They really knew how to keep things on brand.

[@VUmeters]

Thanks for watching! All of the Smiths covers are equally amazing. The only bad part is it makes you want to collect them all.

[@RandyforRoyals]

Great tag. You showed some great 45's. I love that Pogues album and it is my favorite by them. Fantastic Tracy Chapman album as well.

[@VUmeters]

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the tag. The Pogues album is a classic, and the Tracy Chapman album is fantastic. Thanks for watching! -Rich

[@weirdspins6315]

My first vinyl tag too. So much fun and leading me to other vc like your channel.

[@VUmeters]

Thanks, I'll have to check your's out.

[@alltheworldsastage899]

Nice to meet you Rich! I went with Lennon and Richards, but I don't think we're the only ones. Obviously you did not grow up while Zep were together. Did you discover them on your own, or did you have parental guidance into one of the best decisions of your life?

[@VUmeters]

I stumbled upon Zep when I started playing guitar. That exposed me to tons of music I wasn't aware of and still love to this day.

[@TheVinylVoyage-ud3uf]

Great tag, Rich! I showed a Buzzcocks’ album too for my tag 👍 Illmatic… brilliant, went to see Nas in Glasgow last year with my son. Cheers, Jack

[@VUmeters]

Thanks for watching and commenting, Jack! Awesome to hear that you also showed a Buzzcocks album for the tag! 🤘🏻👍 And wow, that's so cool that you got to see Nas in Glasgow with your son! I'm sure that was an incredible experience. Thanks for sharing and for being part of this community! 🙏🏻 Keep on enjoying the music and the memories we create around it!

[@therealglennthebaker]

Cool tag. Glad to see more Hip Hop mentioned in these tags. NAS Illmatic is definitely a 90s classic. Great video I just subbed!

[@VUmeters]

Thanks for the sub! I'm glad you liked the video. I agree that there aren't enough hip-hop vinyl videos.

[@Speekers_corner]

Great tag, Rich. Love Aretha at The Fillmore West! That would be a great dinner party. Hard to believe Bowie’s DD will be 50 this year. Such a great album. Fun watch. Cheers, Jeff

[@VUmeters]

Thanks, Jeff. Hopefully, we will see a 50th anniversary DD in 2024.

[@trevorsflatroundspun-vinyl9803]

Hey Rich! Welcome to the club! Great tag video!

[@VUmeters]

Thanks for the welcome, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@cgcvinyl]

Welcome to the Vinyl Community!! Cool video! I just subbed your channel! 😊

[@VUmeters]

Thanks for the sub! I appreciate the kind words.

[@harrysmusicroom]

Ok...I did it. And I was wrong about it, it's a great idea ! Many thanks to Rob Walker. Good choices Rich.

[@VUmeters]

Thanks, Harry. I enjoyed your video but got a cease and desist for using your logo in my thumbnail.

[@harrysmusicroom]

@@VUmeters I wondered about that 😆

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Well I used the Buzzcocks on my tag so yes they must be from Manchester. I did not know the Crow album was rereleased , I need to get that. I love Sex Bomb Baby, that is a crank it up song. I will have to check your intro video. Enjoyed your video, you were a lot quicker than me, but then everyone is 😂😂

[@VUmeters]

Thanks, Steve. I'm a long-time subscriber of yours. My favorite version of the Sex Bomb track is a live version on Flipper - Public Flipper Limited. Audio quality stinks, but that's not what punk is about. Recording videos is easier without a cat interrupting me.

[@vinylrichie007]

Guns and Roses was a great choice for 2 in a single year. I think Rob lives in greater Manchester so you are okay. Just subbed.

[@VUmeters]

Thanks, Richie. You are one of the OG channels that I started watching in the VC. I added in a couple of Smiths 45s in case the Buzzcocks don't count.

[@vinylizingprogger]

Welcome to the VC! Nice tag entry. Cannot go wrong with listening to Led Zeppelin the most.

[@VUmeters]

Agreed. Zeppelin has been my most listened to for a few years running.

[@Wyoming_Dave]

i need to find some Iron Maiden records!!

[@VUmeters]

I love Maiden and a lot of their catalog is still in print.

[@wgb113]

I remember as a kid how much me and my buddies anticipated those GNR albums after Appetite and Lies. Cool picks Rich! Dig the guitar stand - are they as well made as they look? -Bill

[@VUmeters]

I remember the anticipation for those GNR albums, too. It was a really exciting time to be a rock fan. And yes, the guitar stands are as well made as they look. They're made of solid wood, and they're very sturdy. Short of deliberately pushing it over its stable. Thanks again for watching and for the kind words!

[@patriksweden9203]

Vinyl Tag 2024 good video rich

[@VUmeters]

I’m glad you liked it, and will be posting regularly in 2024.

[@Daydream-Vinyl]

Great video. Subbed.

[@VUmeters]

Awesome, thanks for the sub.

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

Every time I hear “VC” I think of the Vietcong 🚁

I hope you enjoy the Vinyl Community
