You really added some great titles to your collection, Mark. I LOVE your turntable! That Tina Ike record is so great! No denying the outstanding contributions to Jazz Hampton Hawes provided us. In August 1963, Kennedy granted Hawes Executive Clemency. Hawes was doing a 10 year gig in prison on Heroin charges. Lucky for us. Really great prices for everything you picked up. Congrats buddy!

I never think to check out what vinyl might be available at the big box stores. Seems to me I'm missing out! Great stuff all around, and can never have enough Blue. 😎🎶

Congratulations on the Hampton Hawes find. Ramones on 8-track! Fantastic! Too bad about the RATM sound quality but it's cool you were able to get the two BF RSD records you were looking for. Thanks for showing the records!

Great haul. Love the Ramones 8 Track! Love it! Cheers

Love the sample from Fruciante/Klinghoffer record, very nice sound, one I will pick up now if I run across it. I have heard some Fruciante solo work before, but you are right, I didn't expect that sound. Very cool and dreamy. Love the 8-track of The Ramones. I've been tempted to pick up a few 8-tracks because of their rarity on certain albums, but they would be just for show since I have no intention of playing them. I grew up mostly in my teen years by playing some vinyl, but mostly 8-tracks. I wish I still had some of those. Nice score on the Joni Mitchell. That is one thing I miss about being closer to the US border is the sales some of these big box store would have on closeout items. I really need to make a trip down to Great Falls, MT soon. The big box stores won't sell vinyl in Canada for some reason. Some very awesome pick ups there. I used to have an original half-speed mastering of The Young Person's Guide to King Crimson and it had a beautiful sound to it. That was quite some time ago, I would imagine that one would be worth a lot now.

i have two of Frusciante’s solo albums. I like them but never dug any deeper. cool 8-track.

Dang, great prices at Target. I checked out a Walmart and they had almost no vinyl in stock. Just 5 feet devoted to it

Well damn, I saw that Fruscante album and didn’t buy it. It sounded fantastic.

Fantastic finds Mark. You’re going to make some friend very happy with those Blue stocking stuffers. Hope you didn’t get snowed under. Cheers.

The Lenny Kravitz albums are very good. Of course I bought them all on CD. I’ve never seen a Ramones 8-Track.

Nice finds. Agree with what you said on Lenny Kravitz, I need to find a copy of that with the bonus tracks

A Ramones 8-track! That is cool. The needle drop on A Sphere in the Heart of Silence was really intriguing. I might listen to some more of that. You got some excellent deals.

Hampton Hawes is so great and underappreciated ! Woah !! Joni Blue" I have a good copy, but.. I bet this sounds amazing, no way they're that cheap here out west. I love " California" JT on guitar and Joni on Dulcimer.

I apologize to those who viewed the previous version of this video. I am still adjusting to my new bifocals. 🤓 Please note that all edits were not completed before posting. Obviously, I failed miserably on the time constraint.

lol on R Kelly, no truer statement for him, well done Mark. Your shelf is filling up nicely. I always loved Dance Hall Days, but then I was always Cool on Craze. Some favorite songs in the old 45 box. I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving Mark

Great singles once again, all of those wonderful James Brown 45's, very nice. Love the Squeeze single, great find with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, love that band. Love "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver, beautiful song. Very cool Beach Boys on Sub Pop! Another great bunch of singles!

Awesome records, again. Hourglass is such a great track. Timbuk 3 brings back some memories. I do like BRMC. Buffalo Stance has been played enough times in the house now that my kids love it👍

Coffee in hand, and a great way to start my Thanksgiving morning, Mark 🦃. I re-read ' King Of The Queen City' this past summer while on vacation. The 45 shelves are filling up fast! I need to do some 45 storage reorganizing on my end: next year's vinyl project. 😎🎶

Digging those James Brown 45s, that sleeve is awesome! Props to the beastie boys for putting out true jukebox 45s that can be played in a jukebox. Anything Al Green on Hi is worth having. Great collection, Mark!

The 45's are a good change of pace from the onslaught of LPs shown in the vinyl community. BRMC and Kings Of Leon, pretty cool.. You have other all.. Almost !😊 Beach Boys " Wouldn't It Be Nice !

Mark-always enjoy your 45 videos. You have an awesome, well curated collection. How many 45s would you estimate are in your collection? How long have you been collecting 45s? Do you remember the first 45 you ever bought? For me, I have close to 12K of the little plastic gems....and counting! The first 45 I remember buying with my own money was the Beatles "Lady Madonna". I actually got it the day Martin Luther King Jr. was shot- we heard it on the radio that night as we were driving home. We were all shocked to hear this.

I go to a lot of the same places in the city, A 1 is the kind of shop you need to check out every so often if you’re near the city. I found some good records there but you need to play them at the store, they are a little over priced. They also don’t clean anything but they do put out some hard to find records sometimes. My favorite store in Manhattan is Academy on 12th street in the east village. I always find good records at that shop and good prices, much better than A 1. The days of good outdoor fairs in the city are over with, there’s very few. Back in the eighties and nineties it was the best.

Miles Ahead, Kid N Play (that fade!) Rappers Delight! Hardcore looking shop from the outside! 😮 Great Zeppelin ll check for that RL in the deadwax. Great Cale addition too! Lot of hardcore. Sweet Beasties! Beautiful tour! Thanks for taking us along, Mark!

typo, 18th

A1 is a dump. Ergot Records is where you want to go. Academy Records on West 19th has incredible deals on serious music. I bought the Haydn box complete symphonies Dorati and found inside 33 of the 48 discs were one offs of Phil Austin's remastering, probably his own personal set. Most were not released, one off test pressings with London's American label.

Honi Soit was a great find. The Reed and Warhol books look great. Beautiful library - interesting exhibits for sure. Sons of Kemet! Looks like you had a very successful visit!

Great finds. This is what I always want to see at estate sales but never see. Only good record I’ve ever found at an estate sale was Ultimate Spinach Behold and see in NM condition. That’s it.

Forever Changes for 5.00, even VG is a steal ! Nice to see the sights in NYC 😊

Nice job finding that LZ in nice condition. I've got a questionable copy of that and haven't been able to get a decent one yet, so I'm just using it as a placeholder for now. Sorry you didn't like the Love album, I do like that one, but I also got one that was in VG+ condition a while ago. John Cale is always worth picking up, he's one of those artists that I'll get anything from, even the bad albums. Love the selections on the wall at Generation Records, some good stuff there, but I couldn't tell what the prices were like. Beautiful Beastie Boys 12" albums there, very nice! That old bookstore looks just like the one in Edmonton that I love called "Wee Book Inn". It's not really what I would call a "wee bookstore" as it has two floors, but it has that old book smell that I love and the old wooden shelves and everything. I'm lucky because they sell a bit of vinyl there too, and I have picked up some great titles there, so I always love to look around in that store (found my $50 Neil Young box set there and also The Byrds box set (both CD's but that's okay) also got Living Colour and Social Distortion there). Great selection of all kinds of books, you would love it there too, I think. I love the section you put in this video of the Library, what a cool place! Emmylou Harris is such a wonderful artist, beautiful vocals, I always love her delivery and interpretation of songs, always so heartfelt. Amazing price on that particular album and on Lyle Lovett and all of the other ones you found. I've always loved to browse the records in Barnes & Noble, they always seem to have some great prices on many of their discounted records. Great video!

Wrecking Ball is one of my all time favorite albums. I love Joshua Judges Ruth, I can not believe the prices you go those for. I just checked mine and it pretty much sucked for albums on sale

That Warhol biography is fantastic. I know I paid a lot more for my copy haha. I am currently reading a biography on Marc Rothko. Loved that old book store. Also the footage of the library was fantastic, thank you for sharing that. Seems to me you drug your siblings all over the place.

Nice footage throughout. I have never heard that Love LP. It's probably not in my wheelhouse, though. I love Honi Soit (of course)! I went to the Strand on one trip to NYC. Nice looking Lou Reed book. You got some great deals on new records.

I won't make it back to Generation Records until January 2025, give or take. Very easy to get lost in there! That Lou Reed bio is fantastic: I bought that when it came out, and Will Hermes is an excellent writer. I'll be at Bryant Park the first weekend in Dec, so an easy detour into the NY Public Library, which I always love. Wrecking Ball - perfect. You packed in a lot, Mark!

damn how’d you flip right by Jimmie Walker Dyn-O-Mite!?!? Hahah. NYC used to be great for record stores. But these days I find it pretty I dunno kinda disappointing. The Fat Boy Slim version of Body Movin’ is best version of that song. I’m guessing it must be on that 12”.

Great trip to the city Mark. As well as being a vinyl addict I’m also addicted to books. Love bookstores, but restrict my book sources to our local public library. My records take up enough space, but if I did the same with books there would be no room to move. I live vicariously through book collections like yours. New York Public Library is on my list of places to visit on my next visit to NYC. Cheers.

Thank you for this list. I can really imagine how this selection of music can totally set the mood, or complement it. Btw. I recommend you get one of those Bluetooth Mics it doesn’t have to be an expensive one to really boost your quality

I need to check out Damien Rice. Never heard of him until now. Great music for a gathering. I wouldn’t want to leave lol. What do you play when you want people to go home? 😂

Congratulations, Mark! That’s a great find! There were some enjoyable titles in there.

You know we’re twins on that Beastie’s! So cool you picked up the OG companion record for it! Two great Smith records! Beautiful cars copy. I wonder if remastering can bring Steely to life. Those Anthology comps are fantastic! I love mine too! Great 7”! Nice buys, Mark!

Oh wonder why I don’t have dinner parties , people would be running away from me,y musical selections lol. Very cool list Mark, if I have a party I will call you first

Seems like a great program for the evening. I'm not familiar with Damien Rice. I'm with you on Astral Weeks for sure - so awesome. Enjoyed it Mark!

i woulda slipped Dead Milkmen Beelzebubba right in the middle to keep em on their toes 😂

Great selections for a casual party. I would love to do one of your parties, I can imagine just from your selections that they are quite enjoyable. Also, a great idea for a video!

Years back a friend would have guests pick the next song during gatherings, was a fun way to spent time together. People looked forward to sharing sounds

Intriguing video. I have seen that Damien Rice CD from time to time, but I am not familiar with his music at all. I guess I should have a listen!

Cool idea for a video, Mark. When I host and have friends over, I spend more time picking out the music to play than I do the food for my guests! But, they're used to that.😆 Jump In The Line! I've not seen that Coltrane/Hartman release before.

Great idea for a video Mark. Picking dinner music for people who are not as into it as we are is a delicate balance. Familiar is always best, quiet is better than loud. Cheers.

I should listen to my Damien Rice Cd " O" .. I've forgotten about it ! 😊

Good idea for a video, and some nice and easy music, for a change 🎵 Belefonte, Marvin, Sade and Aretha, the queen of soul, and everything else !

Nice find. I got OG copies of Meat Is Murder and their debut at my local shop about 5 years ago. I think I paid $30 for each.
