Love Stand Atlantic. Will definitely be grabbing their new album.
I hear ya, I'm all about physical media! Records, cassettes & CD's forever! I KNOW it's "convenient," & I use Bluetooth myself (rarely) for the same reason! But I'd rather OWN my music! Great vid bud.
i love "grassroots" and the vinyl variants look cool, but just adding a few tracks probably won't get me excited enough to buy them. oh, well. if you're interested, rancid moved up the release date for its limited edition (1,000 copies) royal blue self-titled 7" from december to now--i was very surprised to find it in my mailbox yesterday. it was available for preorder in may and seems to still be in stock in their web store for just $12.99 plus shipping. it is shown as light blue online but is truly royal blue in person. enjoy!
Thanks Nick. Looking forward to the Britny Fox. I grew up in the scene here in Philly and was along for the ride of the band. Super happy this is coming out. Have a rad day 🤘
If you can find a 1973 UK pressing in decent condition you won't go far wrong, they're not cheap but still many around, and you don't have to get the solid triangle version any early 70's is good.
Pretenders 2008 vinyl " Break Up the Concrete" has cool packaging, check it out. By 2008 i had stopped buying cds completely, and i was hardcore vinyl, and this was a nice surprise
I have a Duran Duran 7inch from 1995, " perfect day" that has a scratch and sniff cover, smells like cherry. Madonnas album Like a Prayer has an incense patchouli smell
I have an OG copy of the Britny Fox album. I love that album! I agree that they would've been bigger had that album been released a few years earlier. The new Wayne Shorter is one I'll be snagging this weekend!
When will record store day titles be announced!
I already have IA's Walk Into Light, TAAB 2 and Homo Erraticus (2 LP version) on vinyl. Only interested in getting the fabulous The Secret Language of Birds and the equally fabulous Rupi's Dance from this vinyl set. Not interested in getting the Divinities on vinyl. Hopefully the titles from this set will get released individually somewhere down the road. This box set is way over priced! Already have the Wayne Shorter and the Alan Parsons pre-ordered (waiting for a price drop on the AP Pyramid box set).
I thought you might be taking a break after the recent video with your wife Nick, but no…. The record purchasing MUST continue😅
The Wayne Shorter is a must have .
Looking forward to the new Fontaines DC, Magdalena Bay, Lainey Wilson and Sabrina Carpenter
You gotta check out Joe P he’s an alt rock /pop artist he has a new album coming out this week
John Anderson lead singer of YES has a new album coming out on Friday. It's called TRUE. It's available on Blue Vinyl from his website.
Lackluster again but I did order the Alan Parsons Pyramid. I didn't want the whole boxed when it came out. Also, I picked the Van Halen For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge it was reduced to $60.00 on Amazon. Couldn't past it up. I do have the earlier boxset though.
Rhino are releasing all the Genesis titles over the next few weeks, with 4 due out on Aug 23! I am in for 2 of them, Foxtrot and Genesis.
Great review and thank you. I would like to see these AIO manufactures incorporate a SUB output. It's not overkill if paired with a smaller sub and the bass fill on low volume gives a nicer experience.
Interesting that as an example you took Led Zeppelin IV. Incidently, the version on CD, CD 19129 sounds terrible to me. That was the early version. The remastered version, CD 82638 has a much better sound. From that point of view, the mastering is much more important than the audio format. And there is no "CDs sound bad - vinyl records sound great" type kind of arguments. It really depends on the mastering. Love both formats, CD or LP, but CDs are much more convenient for me.

As far as your wife saying she feels old, I’m guessing you guys are early 40s which in our world I’m sorry is still a baby in many ways, ask her to imagine her telling a 90 year old how sad she is for getting old and how the 90 year old, who can easily in todays world have 20 more comfortable years, have you seen these people… the 90 year old would look at the 45 year old and say listen kid, I’d do anything for 45
I love that you guys loved a Mod Sun show dude
Sorry mate but you haven't got a clue what your talking about. Calling Piper boring and weird? It's certainly weird but that's what makes it great. Had to turn off after what you said about ACDC and Iron Maiden.
if you know anything about OutKast, stankonia is NOT their best album
Very sweet video. Just the fact that you can have a conversation like this, even if you have some musical differences, is a hopeful sign. But I must add: If you know how many records you have, you don’t have enough!
This is awesome!
My wife loves watching those Murder Shows too! 😂
LOVE MY CDS AND VINYL ALWAYS WILL!
Ian can't dance.
Sounds like greenday, not punk.
The best version for me it's the original mix
....a fun one, Nick! There were a few questions I wouldn't want to ask MY wife!! (How many records I have.....how much do I spend on vinyl... etc.)
Not as glamorous but my copy of Pink Floyd The Wall was a Chinese bootleg, but this was 2002. Also, Rage Against the Machine Renegades and some others included imbedded MP3s of a second free album
Kudos to Mandy for coming in front of the camera for the "grill session". You did great! That was an entertaining video. Funnily, I don't think Frank meant his video as a VC list tag but it's a great concept. Hopefully, more channels pick up on this it could be very interesting. Thank you.
Imagine my heart whan I lissened that song the first time...uauuuu.... ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Beatles... the is no comparation
3600 dollars a year for records??? Your wife is a saint for putting up with that!! Mine would divorce me!!!
It’s probably less than that. Some months are less. Also keep in mind that revenue from the YT channel goes into my record buying budget, so that offsets some of the costs also. On a side note, yes my wife is a saint. 😂
I'm always buying CD's, but I like 8 track tapes the best.
great video guys.
Nice couple !
Your moms first album was Alice Cooper, probably where it comes from 😂😂😂 #moremandy 😊😅
Thanks man for letting us get to know you and your wife a little more.
The absolute worst part about streaming is that it doesnt compensate the artists fairly. This has lead to many up-and-coming musicians needing to support themselves with day jobs, which in turn, takes a hit to their musical output.
Definitely! And it also causes bands to increase prices for concerts and go on tour for multiple years, which leads to 4-5 year gaps between albums. It’s why it’s hard for a lot of bands to keep their creative momentum.
Definitely gone back to CD and Records ( Don't call it vynl). That's a big peeve for me. Anyway yes like you in my car it's Spotify ( Since new cars removed CD), or I wouldn't stream at all. Streaming does help to discover Records that otherwise are never heard on radio these days, thanks to Simon Cowell
Keep up the good content, Nick!
It is without doubt the worst thing I’ve ever heard, and I include in that various records from Ken Dodd, Terry Wogan, Rolf Harris and William Shatner.
I liked the "yes dear that's all I spend on records each month" moment. 😂
I have 1300 vinyl records and over 2000 CDs. I have a very nice stereo system. I do not own a car. I have absolutely no reason to stream anything. Plus, they screw the musicians.
Started buying records in the seventies, then cds, then Spotify. No problem. I want to be emotionally attached to music, not to the way I am listening it. As for Spotify sounding worse than physical releases, that is just audiophile paranoia.
PVC outer sleeves were headed for the recycle bin. I was a victim of these. I'm happy to say that i have recently slowly replaced my Connie Francis US 45'S and a few Albums that got 'cloudy' on the vinyl...no damage to the sleeves either.
The terminology surrounding music formats has always fascinated me. Specifically, I've often wondered why people insist on saying 'vinyl records' when, in fact, the correct term is simply 'records.' The addition of 'vinyl' seems redundant, as if clarifying the material composition of the medium is necessary. But when did this linguistic trend begin? Was it a marketing ploy to distinguish analog from digital formats? Whatever the reason, I find it quite curious that we've adopted this phraseology. For me, it's simply a record - a timeless vessel for music that transcends the need for extraneous descriptors.
