Playing a record is definitely an event, and I think that's why our collections are so important to us because we are actively choosing to labour to hear the music so the music has to be good. Streaming is lovely for discovering new artists but ultimately when you find something that you like it's made that much more special by committing to the physical format as something you want to own and work to hear. Records, are a tribue, a trophy to the artist, to say you win I've brought you into my home.
the amount of work that goes into making ONE vinyl is sooooo much work as for limited edition printed vinyls is mind boggling i love vinyls and really love printed ones the music sounds amazing its an amazing hobby!! and they're so beautiful to look at :)
vinyl is not just only the sound of it, also the experience of just going to true bins and finding cool stuff for a few euros, not being able to skip tracks as easy so you tend to listen full albums again and sometimes the cover alone can keep you busy. i remember pre internet days as a child i played hours of music and just stare at the ceiling dreaming away (and just let the music play ;) ), with the internet i stopped doing that and just click true the albums, not check out new/other stuff, getting back into vinyl changed that all back again. now i can really listen to music again.
By every measure (distortion, dynamic range, frequency response, etc...), digital audio is superior to analog (as long as it is lossless). But emotionally its weaker. Vinyl rocks
TwonkDisco It's funny...I totally agree. But then again if I play a song off a CD and glance at my equalizer (a good one), then play the same exact song on vinyl....you have your answer. There's just no comparing the two. The vinyl copy takes up the whole band on the equalizer, sounds warm and the bass incredible, whereas the digital only takes up 3/4 (again this is a studio-quality equalizer I bought from a guy selling off his studio equipment as he was addicted to crack or something) of the band and sounds "tinny" compared to the vinyl copy (providing it's not trashed and you have a decent turntable). With MP3's (which I make off of rare vinyl I own that's never going to see a proper digital release) I eventually have to convert them to at least 320kbps and higher to get them to sound anywhere near as good as the original vinyl copy. And i'm burning these onto CD directly from a Denon DP-DJ151 direct drive w/ Ortofon cartridge (digital pre outs) right into a Philips CDR 778 with said equalizer.
This comment is so incorrect lmao. Digital music is so damn compressed compared to an original analog pressed vinyl record. Hope you realize most records are mixed and mastered for vinyl separately
I am proud to have sold vinyl to The USA museum of art and thinking it is now cataloged to be a part of Musics history!! It was a Massive Attack 12" Safe From Harm, they certainly got taste!!
I found Tom's story about still opening certain records from his Dad's collection and finding notes from him really moving. John Peel was so important to me becoming the music fan and collector I am today. I know how much I and many other fans miss him so can't imagine how much his family do.
As a kid in the eighties, I preferred cassette over vinyl for convenience as well as CD as I got older " and more affordable" . I really was not familiar with the sound of vinyl being too young listening to my dads records in the late 70's. As I got older, I am really impressed with the sound and cannot help but frequent junk stores and record shops looking for a good deal to add to my collection!
The CD killed album artwork, which a big reason I love having a music 'wank' session. Taking the time too just stop and listen too an entire record with the artwork in your hands without out skipping is a true pleasure. Dean
Great little clip. I myself have about 5,000 records. 98% of them are 12' singles. I literally have 100's of rave 12' singles from the late 80's early 90's. Lots of white label stuff. Mr. Tom Ravenscroft, I'm sure I have a lot of the records you're looking for. I myself used to buy Frankie Bones mix tapes. I would then find the records from the mix tapes and re-do them with my 2 Technics Turntables and Numark mixer. Lots of fun. Brings back the memories.
For me vinyl represent's everything good about music large artwork giving the band/artist a chance to give their audience something new and interesting to look at while promoting a unique image for themselves something digital distribution can not achieve.
Vinyl (LP's) are great, no doubt. I grew up in the 60's and 70's, listening to nothing but records (i'm 53). BUT a well recorded and mastered redbook (conventional) CD, SACD, or HDCD sounds amazing, especially if you have a tubed preamp, amp, or both in the playback chain. Of course, your CD player has to have a quality internal DAC, or you can go with an external DAC. I still play vinyl from my vast collection, but I cannot get over the 'crackles' and 'static' sound when I play many of them.
AudiophileTubes I personally love the crackle you get with older records. I'll spin the classic Bealtes vinyl that my grandparents get me and love the static between tracks, but to each their own.
I was watching a video hear on yt explaining how a deep wet clean of records would prevent static for a year and eliminate the crackle for some time (because the crackles are mostly caused by dust particles). It was amazing to me that the record after the wet clean sounded just like a CD. If you prefer the sound of the CD but prefer the mastering of a particular record, you may want to consider doing a wet clean of that record and using a usb record player to convert it into a digital wav file. Then you can have a hi-fi version of your record forever with no static or crackle!
Great video!!!! What a amazing collection. When you have that large of a collection, you don't really know what albums you have and what albums you don't have. But, I agree, There is a magic about vinyl that the other formats don't have.
Richard White It's funny, you would think we wouldn't know but...at least I do. And I have close to 10,000 albums. You get to know what you have and what you don't. What I do keep track of (thanks to a dry erase board) is what copies are beat, end up cracked or whatever and need replacing). Then I just take a picture of the list w/ my phone before I go out to any record stores. The absolute *worst* part of owning so much vinyl? Filing copies that "people..friends/family" pull out to look out and leave them in piles or on my office chair. Filing takes forever. I always say..."pull the next copy out an inch so when filing I have a marker" but...no one listens.
@ Troy Johnson , I sold everything that I had at the time, but right now I have a double of touché amore latest record as well as some releases from Deathwish inc
I like turning off the amp and listening to the record directly by the needle vibrations. I always thought that was neat. When I was a kid I had a large collection of kid's records that told a story and had music. But my first real record was Chicago, which I got for Christmas when I was like 8 years old.
Great !!! those of us born 30 BCD get it. it's a ritual, an experience. It's enjoyable even with the occasional pop or click. and it does not induce "digital ear"
It wasn't so long ago that I said to someone at work "oh yes I like that record". He said "record? you mean song". I had a habit of calling songs "records" as I remember them from the 60s & 70s and always referred to them as such but now I just reply " Yes, vinyl record they're coming back, keep up with the times!"
It's very true , the artwork , size , involvement of an LP is very appealing but on a properly set up turntable , the sound quality exceeds anything enjoyed in your home. The only people that criticise it are people that have never heard the format properly
vinyl rules, you can debate the sound differences of vinyl and digital till you are blue in the face, but when dj's used vinyl you could be sure that the dj had a passion for music being prepared to spend his hard earned cash and his time spent rooting through the record shops searching for that illusive piece of wax not to mention the buzz when you finally found it, digital has killed off the dj when the whole world and his mother can go download every song in existance if they like for free stick it on an ipod and create a run of the mill this is what the media rams down our throats constantly playlist where a good professional dj can dig out those long forgotten classics and new alternatives to the manufactured crap that is constantly rammed down our throats when songs get airplay when they pay for the air play rather than on the merits of the quality of music, digital has took out the alternative in music and the individualism and enabled any tom dick or harry to become a dj overnight whilst also being able to under cut any true professional with a real passion for music, digital has killed the industry entirely and made it stale and stagnant cheesey crap coming from the likes of simon cowel enabling the rich to make music and the talented to be easily swept aside
oldskoolhead0 If I was to ever add up how many hours i've spent in record stores looking for things, i'm sure it would be years of my life. I wouldn't change a thing. I started collecting when I was a kid. A young kid. Things like Kinks singles and Hollies, Beatles, Stooges, etc. I would go to England and map out what record stores to hit and how to get there by train. Then it went outta control around early 80's as I got a job as a DJ at a local station. Then all hell broke loose. Storage is a major problem. My basement from floor to ceiling are albums. Filing/keeping things in alphabetical order is a nightmare. Filing even around 10-15 albums is like an hour. At any given time I have around 300 LP's out of file and about two white long boxes of 45's (from Bags Unlimited) out of file. Nightmare. And if something gets mis-filed? Forget it. There goes Months. I have around 26 white long boxes from "Bags' of just 45's.... :Sigh:
yes its where the phrase "easy come easy go" comes in, that is why music today is just manufactured disposable crap, its easily produced and easily destroyed, easily obtained and easily lost, easily heared and.......... easily forgotton
Ischi Vezon: I don't want to know how much time i've wasted converting rare vinyl to digital format (that's not already available on MP3). And it's not with a computer. It eventually gets downloaded to a computer, but it's originally recorded from a Denon DP-DJ151 Digital output turntable w/ an Ortophon "Night Club E" stylus plugged directly into a Philips CDR-778 with an old studio equalizer into a Behringer mixer. :Sigh:
The funny part is...first and foremost i'm a complete vinyl junkie. To the core. The bass sounds better, etc. It just sounds/feels better. I bought a lot of equipment from a recording studio that was being broken up and sold off as the owner was dead and the other being prosecuted for cocaine distribution. Whatever. What I quickly figured out upon bringing this stuff home and having my engineer hitch stuff up was...I have this huge equalizer (you could probably get one of the old Radio Shack/Realistic one's and it'll do the same, and when I play something on CD it only takes up 3/4 (if that) of the spectrum. If I play the vinyl version on a decent turntable (a Technics Sl-1200 will do nicely with a halfway decent cartridge)...it fills up the entire spectrum with all kinds of bass. You tell me what's happening? You're ears have been tricked people. I can bury those tinny CD's with a good turntable and amp (and decent speakers). So if you're using cheap equipment, I guess it doesn't matter. Otherwise...big difference.
The 33 1/3 vinyl LP phonograph record was invented by Columbia Records in 1948. RCA invented the 45 rpm disk. Western Electric division of AT&T invented the cutter for making stereo phonic records in 1957. I have no idea what Philips had to do with it.
Surely you jest? In 1931, RCA Victor launched the first commercially available vinyl long-playing record, marketed as program-transcription discs. My father has experienced 80 years of vinyl so far . . . .
Just having a look thorough these comments here. This is the peel collection. Do any of you people know who he is? Google John peel now and learn something today.
Absolutely - a bunch of 'johnny-cum-lately' band-wagon jumpers who honestly believe that they were the first to discover the mystique of vinyl! I really despise these London-based docus that do a great disservice to the real 'vinyl masters' - people like the late Steve Glover (who possessed the single largest collection of demo - white label - UK 45 releases) Dave Godin who introduced Tamla-Motown to the British and created the epochal Soul City label and John Manship to name just three.
@bebe_ ...Oh hum...yet another misinformed and argumentative troll. I have probably forgotten more about vinyl/music than you will ever know! PS - try to LEARN English before posting, cretin!
@@thesoultwins72 I bet own a satchel and stand outside record shops waiting for them to open. Scowling at anyone who dares to come in while you're there. People laugh at you, you know that don't you?
Why would you click on this video and leave that useless comment in the first place? Wasting your time and clicking videos on youtube that you don't enjoy and trying to convince people that what they like is stupid is pretty fucking stupid. You couldn't even come up with a valid argument. Many people are super passionate about music and vinyl. Vinyl has a rich history. People romantisize it for various reasons. Holding the LP in your hand, looking at the artwork, reading the liner notes etc.
What's so special about the 90's ? Apart from some Drum & Bass where quality music was hoping to break through again, that glimmer was snuffed-out by the mainstream radio stations as usual like Prog that wouldn't get played in the early 70's, very little else was worth listening to. Record collectors like me who started in the mid 70's became so by remembering anything on shellac or the 50's & 60's and how much is noticed by the deterioration of quality music in the charts by 1975 onwards which have probably become regarded as masters of music by the present young who know everything, utter tosh. Loving or admiring the vinyl is something different to actually getting elated by the music on the disc. Anyway the real golden age of music was and still is best before 1977 as before then the world was enjoying the best of, pop, northern soul, psychedelic, jazz, prog, 1930's dance bands, rock & roll etc Just a extra note: The punk explosion was definitely not welcome by the main labels in '76 which were doing fine with their sales of disco /soft rock and so this spawned about 160 new record labels to cater for the new sounds, most tried their luck and went bust, but what this also done was lowered the standards of music a notch but kind of recovered by '81. I think the best bands in the early 80's were The Police & New Musik-far ahead of their time. Rare 45s of non-hits also included, this is where good quality music wasn't getting played as it didn't get promoted cos the "indie" labels could not afford or gamble paying the stations, so the record didn't sell. Big damage was done here as most bands just gave up. Chart music governed by x-factor type rubbish these days has truly hit the fans. My answer to all this is, As music is supposed to be an art-form, lottery funds should be directed offered to fund a special college or classes re-creating top quality song writing studies to anyone interested & enthusiast enough to prove themselves, because it is the songwriter who is the most important often invisible member of the bands.
I used vinyl records for about 7 years but once the vinyl record player broke, i leaved those vinyl records down in the dust for aabout 18 years, but anno 2016 once my mother bought me a vinyl record player, i now see high value collecting vinyl records, a kids dream from the past has became reality,modern music and nintendo & sega music are now on finyl,such as pokemon blue & red;streets of rage redbound etc,,, if had this as a kid, i would,ve shit my pants. Also i wish i know backthem that jerry buckner & garcia from 1982 were on vinyl with computer hits like pacman fever and do the donkeykong,because at the time i would,ve jump a gap in the ceiling ,haha lol.

Wanna know how i organize my music organize those suckers by the year they came out do that and when you want an album just search that section that year and it wont take you long Lol
I am finding that I like the 80s music- especially Madonna- I wouldn't listen to it when I was younger now I cant get enough of it. We were taught it was not good for you- it actually saved Russia from communism- something politicians and Bishops could not accomplish.
"Even in the digital age, vinyl sales are STILL increasing..." A bit of a propped up line, ya think? Keep in mind when comparing LP to CD, you're always hearing two different mastering jobs (a mystery word for EQ settings, in my book). Yes, playback equipment being no object, vinyl muy mo betta.
Playing a record is definitely an event, and I think that's why our collections are so important to us because we are actively choosing to labour to hear the music so the music has to be good.
Streaming is lovely for discovering new artists but ultimately when you find something that you like it's made that much more special by committing to the physical format as something you want to own and work to hear.
Records, are a tribue, a trophy to the artist, to say you win I've brought you into my home.
the amount of work that goes into making ONE vinyl is sooooo much work as for limited edition printed vinyls is mind boggling i love vinyls and really love printed ones the music sounds amazing its an amazing hobby!! and they're so beautiful to look at :)
vinyl is not just only the sound of it, also the experience of just going to true bins and finding cool stuff for a few euros, not being able to skip tracks as easy so you tend to listen full albums again and sometimes the cover alone can keep you busy.

By every measure (distortion, dynamic range, frequency response, etc...), digital audio is superior to analog (as long as it is lossless). But emotionally its weaker. Vinyl rocks

TwonkDisco analog resonates closer to the sound of real music, even if it loses detail.

You still need to get a good press though, right? Sometines new vinyl has some non-fills and other issues even if it's new

you can't beat vinyl!
You can’t beat vinyl, mate, if anyone can.
you can, just touch the surface every single day
Great Video! Gives me a new appreciation for the vinyl format.
It's an authentic form of music, tactile and interactive. Records will forever be made and sold, at least I hope!
The CD killed album artwork, which a big reason I love having a music 'wank' session. Taking the time too just stop and listen too an entire record with the artwork in your hands without out skipping is a true pleasure. Dean
Yes it is a lot of fun playing with vinyl
There are few better sights than seeing a piece of vinyl rotate on an SL1210.

I guess it's kinda off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online?
Interesting. Thanks for telling me! I might try listening to vinyl sometime. Sounds kinda cool.

Josh Thomson Cool. 'To each his/her own', as the saying goes. The static and crackles can be nostalgic and appealing, no doubt.
AudiophileTubes try an audio technica mla 440
AudiophileTubes it tracks deeper in the groove so you don't hear the crackles as much
I was watching a video hear on yt explaining how a deep wet clean of records would prevent static for a year and eliminate the crackle for some time (because the crackles are mostly caused by dust particles).

Hi, My name is GMD and i'm a vinyl addict.. :(
awesome
Great video
Hopefully portable plastic record players will be destroyed on sight before they get anywhere near the British Libraries record collection.
Glpi lpi You would be referring to the "pitiful portable picnic player" to play your fuzzy warbles on from A Clockwork Orange.
Yes, i agree with you those shity cr*sley players need to be destroyed in the same way as they scratch and damage records
Every time I hear someone wine about a cheap turntable I play my Mo-Fi Dark Side of the Moon LP on a Crosley Cruiser Deluxe.
Well, those are the only ones i can afford as a 17 year old so ...
I don't want to die, I'm not afraid but I'm going to miss music.
so many passionate music lovers.
Crazy collection I have a two story house full of vinyl but nothing like this !!
A nice find is the FIRST RSD compilation LP. Pearl Jam track is great!!!
Great !!! those of us born 30 BCD get it. it's a ritual, an experience. It's enjoyable even with the occasional pop or click. and it does not induce "digital ear"

Shame that the only shop is around 50 minutes away from me and I can't drive yet : (
Nice video
Could someone tell me a website where most of the classic rock vinyl covers appear in real size?
Did I just see him *slam* that original copy of "Bleach" back into the shelf? That hurt... A LOT.

Is that vinyl place in the British Library off limits?
THIS COLLECTION IS CRAZY SUMTHIN LIKE MINE
Nirvana!!!
The 33 1/3 vinyl LP phonograph record was invented by Columbia Records in 1948. RCA invented the 45 rpm disk. Western Electric division of AT&T invented the cutter for making stereo phonic records in 1957. I have no idea what Philips had to do with it.
A Short Commercial for Philip's
fixed it
A film about young trend eaters who were not alive for vinyl's first 80 years.
No one alive experienced the first 80 years of vinyl
Surely you jest? In 1931, RCA Victor launched the first commercially available vinyl long-playing record, marketed as program-transcription discs. My father has experienced 80 years of vinyl so far . . . .
A collectors dream
Just having a look thorough these comments here. This is the peel collection. Do any of you people know who he is?
Google John peel now and learn something today.
Strange. I Didn't Need To Hear Any Of This.
Absolutely - a bunch of 'johnny-cum-lately' band-wagon jumpers who honestly believe that they were the first to discover the mystique of vinyl! I really despise these London-based docus that do a great disservice to the real 'vinyl masters' - people like the late Steve Glover (who possessed the single largest collection of demo - white label - UK 45 releases) Dave Godin who introduced Tamla-Motown to the British and created the epochal Soul City label and John Manship to name just three.
Yeah, neither did I.
@bebe_ ...Oh hum...yet another misinformed and argumentative troll. I have probably forgotten more about vinyl/music than you will ever know! PS - try to LEARN English before posting, cretin!
TheSoulTwins lmao do you usually write paragraphs in response to strangers?
@@thesoultwins72 I bet own a satchel and stand outside record shops waiting for them to open. Scowling at anyone who dares to come in while you're there. People laugh at you, you know that don't you?
That was a pretty good commercial.
4:30 Residents!
BLEACH. Yes. Hope you listen to the Melvins, too. There would be no Bleach if it weren't for the Melvins. ROCK. Great video. Thanks.
I Have Already Shrunk My Vynal Collection Down Digitaly!!!!!!
I Did It For Portable Use cause Some Of The Older Vinyl Is Hard To Find. I Also Like The Sound Of Vinyl When I'm Recording.
Why would you click on this video and leave that useless comment in the first place? Wasting your time and clicking videos on youtube that you don't enjoy and trying to convince people that what they like is stupid is pretty fucking stupid. You couldn't even come up with a valid argument.
Many people are super passionate about music and vinyl. Vinyl has a rich history. People romantisize it for various reasons. Holding the LP in your hand, looking at the artwork, reading the liner notes etc.
0:05 iron maiden Vinyl :)
ok boomer
What's the song starting at 4:13?
+Ester Samuels Darude - Sandstorm
Floating points at 5:13??
so, it's okay ?!
Awe-some
What's so special about the 90's ? Apart from some Drum & Bass where quality music was hoping to break through again, that glimmer was snuffed-out by the mainstream radio stations as usual like Prog that wouldn't get played in the early 70's, very little else was worth listening to. Record collectors like me who started in the mid 70's became so by remembering anything on shellac or the 50's & 60's and how much is noticed by the deterioration of quality music in the charts by 1975 onwards which have probably become regarded as masters of music by the present young who know everything, utter tosh. Loving or admiring the vinyl is something different to actually getting elated by the music on the disc.
Anyway the real golden age of music was and still is best before 1977 as before then the world was enjoying the best of, pop, northern soul, psychedelic, jazz, prog, 1930's dance bands, rock & roll etc
Just a extra note: The punk explosion was definitely not welcome by the main labels in '76 which were doing fine with their sales of disco /soft rock and so this spawned about 160 new record labels to cater for the new sounds, most tried their luck and went bust, but what this also done was lowered the standards of music a notch but kind of recovered by '81. I think the best bands in the early 80's were The Police & New Musik-far ahead of their time. Rare 45s of non-hits also included, this is where good quality music wasn't getting played as it didn't get promoted cos the "indie" labels could not afford or gamble paying the stations, so the record didn't sell. Big damage was done here as most bands just gave up.
Chart music governed by x-factor type rubbish these days has truly hit the fans.
My answer to all this is, As music is supposed to be an art-form, lottery funds should be directed offered to fund a special college or classes re-creating top quality song writing studies to anyone interested & enthusiast enough to prove themselves, because it is the songwriter who is the most important often invisible member of the bands.
I used vinyl records for about 7 years but once the vinyl record player broke, i leaved those vinyl records down in the dust for aabout 18 years, but anno 2016 once my mother bought me a vinyl record player, i now see high value collecting vinyl records, a kids dream from the past has became reality,modern music and nintendo & sega music are now on finyl,such as pokemon blue & red;streets of rage redbound etc,,, if had this as a kid, i would,ve shit my pants.
Also i wish i know backthem that jerry buckner & garcia from 1982 were on vinyl with computer hits like pacman fever and do the donkeykong,because at the time i would,ve jump a gap in the ceiling ,haha lol.
& I thought my 3,000 + Lp collection was a lot I need to buy a house, Very nice. wish it was me..
if only we could accurately describe the main electrical difference between vinyl and digital in one easy to grasp graph... oh wait I can do that

Sometimes I get out my hipster plastic slabs of aphex twin plastic and sniff them, I once licked a merzbow lp pressed on green vynil.
song 1:45?
Wanna know how i organize my music organize those suckers by the year they came out do that and when you want an album just search that section that year and it wont take you long Lol
I am finding that I like the 80s music- especially Madonna- I wouldn't listen to it when I was younger now I cant get enough of it. We were taught it was not good for you- it actually saved Russia from communism- something politicians and Bishops could not accomplish.
"Even in the digital age, vinyl sales are STILL increasing..." A bit of a propped up line, ya think? Keep in mind when comparing LP to CD, you're always hearing two different mastering jobs (a mystery word for EQ settings, in my book). Yes, playback equipment being no object, vinyl muy mo betta.
Who were the two people speaking?
Next week it will be tapes
COMPACT DISCS FOREVER!!!!!
Compact disks AND vinyl forever...
RIP Peely
