That Van Gelder story is tough to hear, cuz Michael is so right. That house was a part of US history, and should never have been demolished, but instead turned into a museum. Man, do I love those orange label 1st Impulse records too. I’ve unfortunately only got a handful of em, but they’re some of my prized possessions. That story about the Beatles mono “kangaroo jump” records was great, and I feel extremely fortunate to own a copy of that mono box set from 2014. What a beautiful sounding bunch of records. Love Michael’s DVD’s! I bought both of them. He forgot to mention his other one, “It’s a vinyl world after all”. Ken, thank you so much for doing these vids with Michael and Art. They are truly wonderful!
Excellent , informative...man I have really taken to all your vids. My collection has grown in wonderful ways because of your review vids. Please keep going.
I like Rudy’s recordings the way they were originally pressed. It’s history! I just acquired a Steve Allen first pressing, Jazz for Tonight, on Coral 1955. Check it out. Fantastic!
I'm English I live in UK. Bought Thelonious Monk, Album: Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall, New York. Bought this Album in 1960 in Manchester. How about terrific Pepper Adams only solo on this album. .
Yeah -Well- I certainly noticed the bass increase by the Beatles...and..didn’t know what to attribute it to....but was glad to hear this interesting interpretation of the ‘cause’ of the ‘effect’.
Love it! I love Michael's passion and knowledge even though I'm all dig***l in music. Don't tell him I have a bunch of those RVG CDs, and still like the music.
Another classic episode man Michael Fremer house is a wall of wax I can spend days there that Art Blakey & Jazz Messengers A night in tunisia is so good very cool OG stereo pressing. Ken great questions I always dig you interviews Michael Fremer turntable setup wow. Lovellandrew
Michael, keep'um coming buddy. I'd SUBSCRIBE (pay!) to have 4 hrs a day accumulate of Vinyl classes #101/#201/#301/#401/ & Graduate classes. 1. Label Stories: BLUE NOTE, Pacific, Atlantic, Prestige, Emcy, Classic, AP, Pure Please & Sam, yada, yada. 2. Industry news + basics: pressing plants mastering houses, yada, yada. 3. Musicians & their stories (jazz for me) 4. Tech Talk about RVG, different studios of his along with others. Live venues vs studio sessions =1,000 of stories. 5. Basic Cartridges info / styles FIRST, then on TTs., phono preamps, etc. 6.Guests along side. Do it starting this weekend until COVID-19 goes away and we can leave our homes. You owe the public 4-5 books and some more dvd/blurays! Michael, your a GOAT buddy.
Michael Have you ever heard the Lee Morgan rendition of A night in tunsia. Great percussion on this verison as well. on the blue note series czcams.com/video/lOIgcC0lPkU/video.html
Turntable design fascinates me but I don't see all that much real engineering going on in turntables anymore. I'd like to build a real hard core turntable but I don't have the machining resources yet. Several commercial tables get one thing pretty good but no one gets it all right.
Couldn't watch this video and not be distracted constantly by the focus of the camera which obviously had a hard time while Michael was standing next to the cabinet full of records.

cool looking house too.
I enjoy Michael’s passion and knowledge about the history of music and recording. Very nice interview.
Thanks Ken I needed a little break and listening to Michael is always enlightening and fun.Great job as always...
Excellent , informative...man I have really taken to all your vids. My collection has grown in wonderful ways because of your review vids. Please keep going.
Michael is such a great story teller, a wealth of knowledge, and honestly excited about everything.
I like Rudy’s recordings the way they were originally pressed. It’s history! I just acquired a Steve Allen first pressing, Jazz for Tonight, on Coral 1955. Check it out. Fantastic!
Thanks, Ken. Great stuff. 🔥
These are all fantastic, Ken. And I love your intros.
Thanks Miguel. I owe you Chinese lunch!

Great 👍🏻

Out of the park once again 😊
That FM side voice is hilarious.
Fantastic series, for which many thanks. However the annoying music background is so unnecessary.
I like the dCS in the background 😀
The Riversides always had clicks and pops in the pressings. I replaced them all in the 80s with the Japanese pressings.
👌
I’d like to know what was tuition at Cornell when you went?!
Didn't know Night in Tunisia originally came out as a gatefold 😂
Original tape vs what was released?Onf of the final lines of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" is "When the legend becomes fact print the Legend"
That background music is soooo distracting
also dont talk and turn your phone off. otherwise 5/5
Where does Michael buy his turntable lamps/lighting?

"..the FM side..."; definitely my side.
What is the speaker at 0:10?

Give me some of those records mr.Michael cos you won’t finish listening to those records hehhehee
Bill Hicks on being approached by beggars / bums: "Do you know how hard my dad has to work for the money he gives me........" ;0)
How could folks give these brilliant video clips a downward thumb?
I stoped after 20 sec's because of the background music.
Get some Robert smith’s records mr.Michael,Something different in your music room 👍

Funny thing about Michael... He talks a lot bout records but never plays them in the video's...
Turntable design fascinates me but I don't see all that much real engineering going on in turntables anymore. I'd like to build a real hard core turntable but I don't have the machining resources yet. Several commercial tables get one thing pretty good but no one gets it all right.
You haven't looked carefully enough!
RVG was overrated. I never thought his recordings were all that natural.
Try a new reissue from Music Matters Jazz and you might change your mind...
that monk record is 360$ in the online shop of ERC ... :-( no thanks
"Vinyl was never any good." Rudy Van Gelder
"record nazi"... that's so great!! So I'm still a record nazi... :D
Couldn't watch this video and not be distracted constantly by the focus of the camera which obviously had a hard time while Michael was standing next to the cabinet full of records.
huh? camera was on a tripod. I didn't touch it
oh I was having focus issues. Sorry
U got plenty of lps.stop complaning.u got most originals
Sorry i disliked this video only because of Michael fremer
You're entitled.
Love that you hate me so much you were moved to comment! Love that!
"Was" a record nazi. 😅
