- Grand Ledge MI is home to Michigan Rural Records. This is a great little store to check out and to have a chat with the owner, Chris.

Man!...The power of music ...
Strange how a song and a voice can take you back to another lifetime.
Isn’t that so true. Music is a very powerful tool to bring back great, or bad memories in our life. Something you may not have liked you now do because of those wonderful memories.
Hi Steve. I love my Foreigner album! And that Original Master Recording pressing is truly special. That record store is really fun and has an impressive selection. Thanks for sharing.
Steve thanks for coming along with me. Eventually I need to go to a record store in Colorado, hopefully soon when works slows down a little.
Love that record shop. Especially the vintage stereo stuff. Loved Foreigner too. Love the tours. Keep them coming.
Tony, I think I have three left then I will actually have to visit a store in Denver. I just need some time to do it
Thanks for the update, hope it’s been a good week😁👍🏾
I hope you are also have a great week, everyday is a blessing
Nice store tour Steve. Like your thinking music. Definitely crepes over pancakes. Cheers.
Spoken like a true Canadian, crepes, especially those French ones!
Cool store - I think I noticed a filing cabinet filled with 45’s. Excellent Foreigner album!
Hi Mark, no doubt there was a filing cabinet filled with 45s that I just walked on by! Nice store owner, always fun to catch up with things with him
Don't know Head East at all...comics, records and toys, what else could you want. Haven't had crepes in years, I'm craving one now, thanks a lot Steve
Head East was a big Midwest band but they never got further than that I think. No crepes in years! You’re from Canada ! I make crepes every Sunday morning, done it for decades Doug
Another great tour and some delightful pickups!
Except the opening , whoops, messed that up Brian
Hello Steve; Talking obscured by soundtrack. Something different, it might catch on. Store looks well stocked. The Michigan record store tour continues. A MOFI of the first Foreigner good LP. Head East or west, which ever way you like the best. Good luck, Tina & Pat!~
lol, head east or west. I guess I chose west, well done on that one. I never did a playback, I just ran out of time so I was surprised to see the boring music cut out my beautiful and thought provoking voice. Say it isn’t so.
Great stuff Steve. Room is looking good buddy.
Slowly but surly Ken. I’m just so tired when I come home almost nothing gets done
Gallagher - I had that on cassette - definitely not wall worthy, but fun to see. Those prices didn't seem too bad. Crepes? Too fancy for me - a waffle is as high brown as I will get.
Kris, I like a high brow kind of breakfast and the crepe gives me that experience Some of these little stores don’t have quite the wow and low on their grail walls. The owner is great but his prices can run a little high at times.
Hey Steve! Love that Head East album! Like you, I'm assuming they did not do very well on either coast. Cheers!
A number of people who live on the coast wrote that they did not know this band. Definitely a Midwest barnstorming band. They were everywhere Steve in the 70s
I have the head East live album that is pretty good. Brenda makes some great waffles 😋. I prefer crepes too. There's a couple of Pittsburgh breakfast places that make excellent crepes. FIFO 🎉
Always crepes for me. In my travels I ate out for breakfast almost every day instead of eating at the hotel and I was always looking for places that made crepes. I have the only music channel that veers into talking about crepes lol
Yeah… The Rockies are not good… But hey, Coors Field! 😊 Man I miss baseball… But, going to miss Skagen and Denmark far mor (leaving for Oslo tomorrow… ack!). All that aside, thank you for yet another splendid record store tour Steve. Nice Foreigner album 😊 Be well… show me some Blake Street views and make
MLB ship stuff to Norway again 😄
Morten, are you not going back to Denmark or are you permanently in Norway now. I will take in some Rockies games to eat some nachos lol
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 I will probably be stuck here for the duration of summer. I hope to get a window to go back home to Skagen in August but most likely I have to be here until mid September.
Looking forward to some photos or videos from Blake Street (Coors Field). Check out Great Devide brewing 😊
Voice audio issue in the beginning of the video? Anyways, lots of interesting records at the store. Lots of high prices on some of those records. Maybe after the summer, you’ll get more free time to go out to the record stores in Colorado. Maybe even meet up with University of Vinyl or other channels.
OMG, at the start I had to drop music but somehow it shifted to the intro. I did not review it, oh well, crazy weird opening Michael. I hope in a couple of weeks that it slows down. I struggle to listen to even one album a day, I just fall asleep in my chair lol
Memories are good, Professor - but I think "Double Vision", "4" , and "Agent Provocateur" are better than the debut album, but that's me...your mileage may vary. Doing Foreigner on "Influencers" this season at some point, so you'll see where I am then, I would bet. Head East - Not really that familiar, like what I've heard though. Don't know Pistol Annies at all, will look into it. New place is coming together, Looking forward to your tour, still hoping to do mine soon....🙂
Foreigner 4 had the huge power ballad on it I just couldn’t handle it TC. I’m hear to ROCK! Head East was not known on the coasts. It was just a huge mid 70s touring band in the Midwest. Never Been Any Reason was played everywhere. Nothing special about the group but what a song. I should have just downloaded the song and saved money !
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Oh Professor....One power ballad out of 10 or 11 tracks...HORRORS! And this coming from someone who has Captain And Tennille's greatest hits in their collection! ::Kim Impression:: I need a fainting couch and a cosmpopolitan! I've got the vapors! :; Heh heh
I’ve never listened to a Foreigner album. I’ve never heard of Head East.
Head East was pure 70s Midwest. They toured everywhere but never made it to either coast. Good 70s rock band but nothing special. One hit wonders Richie. The first Foreigner album came out as I started college. I think we were all required to buy it!
Crepes better than pancakes! That is an unpopular opinion in my book. Pancakes soak up the syrup and that is the point then when you eat the piece it is soaked in syrup. Yum Yum Yum.
Hahaha, I was just trying to make VC controversy haha. Every Sunday I make myself some crepes, I have been doing that for decades. The secret is…Mrs Butterworth syrup. So good! My wife prefer pancakes
I'm from the midland in Britain and I actually have orange juice on my pancakes. My North American family are horrified - but you're a big culinary experimenter. Perhaps you could try pouring orange juice over your pancakes, instead of syrup. It's a tangier flavor and definitely less sweet.
Darrell, that explains your humor though I never noticed a hard British accent. Orange Juice on pancakes. That would raise a few eyebrows in a restaurant. The whole purpose of syrup is to have an incredible sugar high that makes your teeth rattle. I try a lot of weird things but this is really pushing the envelope.
How do the Mofi Foreigner Album sound Steve? I want to purchase one but no one has reviewed it. Awesome T-Shirt and Video!
Robbie, I thought it sounded very good but my equipment isn’t HiFi type stuff. Still I liked how clear it sounded
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Steve, I have a $250 Record Player, Marantz Amp and a Marantz SACD Player. Nothing Fancy.
Censored your own intro? Our team of expert lip readers tell us that Steve is saying, “Sure hope I can find some prog, free jazz, and female singer-songwriters!”
😂😂😂
Damn Michael, you are good at that, I just couldn’t let others know. This is why you should play back your editing but I just ran out of time ! I like your version though!
Dennis Thompson RIP.
Is anyone still left from the MC5?
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Unfortunately no
mike how do you make it look like you're talking, but music comes out of your mouth? Amazing! I've had great crepes and great pancakes. Why are you making me choose? You're cold as ice Mike....sorry 😲Cheers...Mike
Mike, I just wanted to show a new trick, open your mouth and let the music come out. Obviously quality control is lacking at my studios with the disappearance of furry Mike. I am trying to become a more controversial channel so I wanted to bring up the whole heated debate of crepes vs pancakes. These are the things that really excite people and gives me an edgier look in the VC. Next week it may be frozen waffles vs fresh waffles. I seem to be stuck in breakfast food.
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Waffles!! You are edgy!
another good record store tour but.. the music was awfully distracting.. loud and bad, much like that first Foreigner album :) I I think 4 and Double Vision are better. Ok, the 1st lp isn't that bad but the opening music here is. Love your videos..
lol, loud and distracting like the first Foreigner music haha. Yeah usually I listen to samples but I was so rushed to get this posted on time ( I like to be consistent to a fault) that I just picked what came up and then covered my own voice. Kind of a train wreck video but then that is par for the course haha. Thank you so much for watching though!
Man you went away too fast from death metal cds. ;)
To us American pan cakes are something to make if we want to do to diffentlly. So I love them.
mr. Finglish (Bäd English Recs)
What, I missed showing the Death Metal CDs Mr Finglish, what the heck is wrong with me? lol. When I have gone to Europe I have not seen pancakes, just crepes. But those crepes are different than are crepes. We like a lot of real sweet syrup! That way we can visit the dentist more!
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 That might be interesting concept talking about death metal music with you... I didn't have any American pan cakes before I met my wife.
Steve, cool seeing that KMart sticker. Do you like those or shy away from? Oh shit you flipped by Bang Tango Dancin on Coals. ‘91 I think. It was 80$ but no cheaper online anywhere. What is the store again!? Do they sell online. I went and looked. They don’t even have a website. Oh well it could be gone if you filmed months ago also. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
I worked for Kmart of 35 years so I like the nostalgia of it Steve. The store I was at does not sell on line. I have zero idea about Bang Tango lol. Sounds like I missed an amazing album Steve. I kind of doubt an album like that would disappear in rural MI. That has helped me pick up some amazing albums Zonkman.
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 The Dancin On Coals is an album I love on cd for the past 30+ years, but because it’s ‘91 it is expensive on vinyl. I have Psycho Cafe on vinyl so would be cool to eventually get that one even though I have the cd, and the CDs are cheap.
