Just now connected the dots that AIP is the label that released Pebbles and Highs in the Mid Sixties. So yeah their comps should be pretty good. Yeah, these last 2 years I've found as much good vinyl as I have in the last 10 years it seems. And you are the king of the Sonics releases in the vinyl community it seems! I'm just getting started. I had them on my ipod way back in the day and was just floored when I discovered The Sonics.

​@@giantorangerecords I did have the advantage of being from the NW in finding sonics records, they've always been pretty scarce and most copies you find in the wild have partied pretty hard, the last one I found was at least 8 years ago. I havn't run across once since then

@@ADMx2545 thanks Adam! It’s always a silly question, but when it must be answered I’m ready. That Weeds record is so good! Thanks for stopping by!

@@ShamrocknRecords awesome, thanks Brian! I could really feature The Olivia Tremor Control a lot more often. I’m not sure why more people aren’t talking about them.

@@christopherkibler511 yep. I actually spent a lot of time in Ocala when I was a kid. There was a great water park with slides we used to go to.

Selling duplicates is a good idea! I don't do it as much as I should but never regret it when I do.

@@MKtheC I guess? I’m not really sure, that was just something I painted a while ago.

@@LuciferisKing666 Nah, I’ll keep it. You ever listen to those bands?

@ not anymore I did Back when I was young and dumb

@@LuciferisKing666 I do. I like a lot of different stuff.

@@tomc7434 yes, such a brilliant concept and theme. Love those incredible ‘60s punk comps.

@@AisForAliceBisForBob you make some good points here. Yes, the music is the most important aspect. I also give away a lot of albums, though I also trade for store credit as needed for more expensive items. I should definitely do a big purge at some point. I don’t feel like I missed out by not buying anything for 30 days since I have so many albums I’ve only played once. It takes me a while to go through all the music I do have. I also haven’t bought any albums this December. My next step will be curating a collection of just the essentials and trimming the fat, or stuff that I just don’t listen to anymore.

@@fizzlebomber674 I will go out on a limb and say The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are pretty well-known.

@@crazyprayingmantis5596 thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching! What was one of your favorite finds this year?

@giantorangerecords Ancient Greece - Women and children first The Flamingo Jones - The 5th floor of the tree (no physical copies available but one of my favourite discoveries this year and they're relatively local to me) The 5,6,7,8s - the 5,6,7,8s Stray Dog - Stray Dog The feed back - The feed back Modern English - Mesh and lace Sue Barker - Sue Barker Coastal County - Coastal County

@@crazyprayingmantis5596 wow, those sound really cool. I’ll def scan through some of those titles.

Right on! Thanks for stopping by! That's awesome about finding an OG Sonics! I didn't know those really existed. I'm a huge Syd fan. Looks you have a ton of pressings of Piper At The Gates. Glad to find another member of the vinyl community with similar tastes! I'll take a look around your channel.

yeah, The Hate Bombs are cool! I got to see their reunion show in Orlando many years ago. That was such a great gig. Glad you were able to score a copy. So much good music out there!

Thanks for checking in Cosmic Brian! Yeah, I couldn't believe all the awesome stuff I found out there. Athens truly is a music town. Th' Losin' Streaks are on Slovenly and gosh do those guys know a lot of about music! Super fun show and so glad I got to see a band from that lives so far away. I've been meaning to check out the Fapardokly and I'll say the main reason I even got the blind buy on the '80s Fankhauser is because I'm such a massive fan of the HMS Bounty LP, which is a pretty expensive one nowadays. But man, this trip will give me music to sift through for years to come. It's going to take a while to unpack all those LPs. I've listened to a few a coupla times, but mostly just gave each one a quick spin. The Tiffany Shade and CA Quintet are really awesome. Prob going to have to Discogs some of the Highs in the Mid Sixties stuff.

It's part of my identity, but certainly not all of it. I'd say my biggest priorities are family and music, and vinyl happens to be my preferred and best sounding way to listen to music. But I also need to feed my family and spend quality time with my son. Sometimes we sit and listen to records together and that's great. I'm also a musician, and maybe this takes away from practicing guitar, vocals or piano, but maybe it helps in some ways. I guess it's an identity crisis of sorts. But yes, objects don't bring you joy, doing meaningful activities does.

@@giantorangerecords What brings you the most joy when you think about it? That's what you should focus on. Something that is not only fun, but also helps others in some way. I also love collecting stuff, and treasure my vinyl, but I try not to let it become my life. Its more like a fun part of who I am, but not something I allow to cause anxiety in my life. Its all about finding the perfect balance. I think you are halfway there....GOOD LUCK!

@ that’s awesome, really good point. I need to stop going overboard with this stuff, and I have as of late.

@@giantorangerecords You seem like a great guy, so I just thought I would give you some words of advice from my own experience. Life is too short to spend it worrying about things that don't really matter in the long run.

@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 that’s awesome! Love Beachwood Sparks! Thanks for watching and listening!

@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 yeah I saw that was on the Fuzz Club label. And yes, I think Messer Chups even put out a second EP or something in the fall. They’ve also been touring a lot.

@@crazyprayingmantis5596 yes, I mispronounce it all the time. Zombie-rella.

@@giantorangerecords 😆 love your work mate. 👍

@@crazyprayingmantis5596 thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

@@fizzlebomber674 good question. Perhaps an impossible quest to hear all the music that was ever made.

Thank you for watching! This has helped me realize I need to travel more often. It's good for the soul.

That's incredible! What a find! The Sonics were awesome, and I imagine they probably had more of a following in the Pacific NW.

@@ZacharyFabiano good to hear! My last few CD players have had issues, so I need to keep looking for one. I have tons of CDs, and while not as fun as vinyl, any music from the 1990s almost has to be heard on CD.

@@barbaricbeing333 sometimes ordering online can be wonderful, I’ve just had to force myself to set limitations so I don’t go overboard.

@@giantorangerecords i did do better with that order deciding to spend less than a hundo ahaha but had to do the cyber monday deal! HAD TO! FOMO is FOREAL!

@@djstephwest Stephanie Knows Who! Good stuff! Yeah those are some of my jams!

@@Vinylfromtheunderground thanks for watching

@@JJ-qs9hu wow, that’s good to know, thanks for sharing! Prices have gotten insane.

@@hawaiifiles that’s awesome! And how is that going, just cycling through what you already have?

@@giantorangerecords Not bad at all. There are all kinds of media formats for people to listen to music with. The music is more important than the media it is delivered on. Access... cost... value.

@@PufferTube so sorry to hear about your friend passing. Thanks for watching and sharing your story in the comments. I’ve really learned a lot from some of these comments from folks who have been doing this longer than I have.

@@anthonynyland1527 thanks, West Coast Pop Art is a favorite of mine. That’s a good idea with the semi-annual clear outs. Thanks for the kind words!

That's an interesting Doors pressing. I used to find a lot more good records at thrift stores. But I know they are still out there, you just have to look more often and be more selective, especially with condition.

Thrift store LPs generally smell like musty mildew. If you keep them in your house...your good records will end up stinking, too.

@ I try to stay away from mildew of smokey smelling ones. I’m very sensitive to smell. Also, plastic outer sleeves probably help.

@@BubblesJrJr All you have to do is clean them with alcohol, or put them in a box with a couple of cotton balls soaked in Frebreeze.

I guess I need a Thorens and Marantz until I'm an audiophile? I like my Technics SL-1200 paired with a Kenwood KA-2500 receiver. I have a Sherwood that needs to be restored. One shop charged me $200 to change one part and it's still blowing up power tubes. So I just use what I have that works. Or I could invest in merch for my band.

You are correct! I talk about Sounds Good in many of my videos, and this one highlights some great finds from there: ruclips.net/video/_vZk9kSOoBI/видео.html

Thank you for the kind words! This was a more scripted and thought out video, and I think this VO style video works better than just me sitting in a chair rambling about stuff.

@giantorangerecords it was informative as well as entertaining. A great combination.

@@michaelmuncy3593 many thanks, so glad to hear this!

@@DrewKane interesting take. I streamed a lot of music on my phone today thru the hifi, and while the sound was pretty good I sure missed the handling of the record, having to look at a screen, and not being able to see the artwork full size. Minor problems I suppose, but the process is a lot less fun.

@@rockisrad3088 it’s up there with the best, def a collector-grade psych album.

@@jazzblasterrr that’s an awesome idea! I’ll def need to do something like that. I know that I go in phases with genres and artists.

@@Kaspurr84 a year is almost too soon. It’s the only way I listen to music at home. The last few CD players I have bought used ended up not working and skip. Vinyl is at least reliable. But yes, maybe 500-1,000 for a collection is good.

@@giantorangerecords How is it possible to like all these albums? If I count all my cds and vinyls together I don't think I have even 100 albums, I've been looking for videos about getting rid of albums, because I'm throwing out all the albums I don't listen to. I haven't found a music de-cluttering video yet, but several with these mind boggling huge collections. Am I just extremely picky about what albums I like and want?

@@lonewolf8667 You've got to be willing to keep expanding your horizons. I've been alive for a pretty long time and I've seen a lot of live bands and listened to a lot of records. I have a ton of friends who know a lot about music and share their knowledge with me while I keep seeking out music I have not heard yet.

@@giantorangerecords Thanks to Tidal, Bandcamp and RUclips music I listen to new music everyday. Before I got streaming service (very late, 2023) I used to blind buy cds at thrift shops. For me just relaying on streaming services have been more efficient way to find music I like. I used to go to concerts, but it had to be bands artists I knew I liked because for my income concerts are expensive.

@@ThiKu good thinking!

That's a smart thing to do. I'm about in the same boat, though I do tend to listen to most of the records within a day or two of going to a record store. But then I forget about them because of all the new records.

@@Pluralofvinylisvinyls Karma is going to get you for that!

I like my gear. What's wrong with a Technics Sl-1200 TT and a Kenwood KA-2500 (with two dedicated phono inputs) and some Energy tower speakers? It sounds pretty good to me, especially for what it cost, but if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

That’s an absurd premise! I’m 42 been collecting since I was 15 years old. My record collection now has med value of around $50,000 and almost 90’000 plus on the high end. My gear is extremely modest. I’ve probably spent less than $1000 on it total in my life . For me first and foremost it’s always been about music. The gear is secondary. I have a decent micro line stylus but other than it’s basic. And I’m very happy. One day I may upgrade.

@@bigsweetc6 getting decent hifi equipment def sounds good, but I've found that I don't have to break the bank. My gear prob adds up to $500 give or take. It sounds good to me. Could it sound better? Maybe? But that's not a major concern for me right now.

Nah, once your set-up is good sounding to you, the records are more important after that. Usually the people that are more concerned about their gear, have the lamest collections.

@@pauly1013 you can be certain they’ll have multiple copies of Steely Dan… 😂

@@theobald_tiger it’s a strange phenomenon and I have to slow down before it gets worse. Thanks for watching!

I have a Discwasher, and I generally grab them by the outer edge and center label, not on the grooves. Maybe I need to get some nitrile gloves and a lab coat.

I showed another Stooges album, I guess I could've shown all three, but I gotta save something fort Part 2! And I just don't like The Sex Pistols that much, so I don't have them on vinyl.
