Absolutely beautiful tribute, Matt. RIP Jim. The part about him saying you taking the collection would really make things sink in for him...that hit. Will spin a record in his honor tonight.
My company just lost one of its favorite people. It was an operation she didn't come out of. She was a little older lady with a huge personality. Real acerbic wit. Always quick with a great joke. She was loved. We need to all remember to live. Because sometimes it's a surprise when you're gone. Cheers! ✊
I had the good fortune to work with Jim - he was a beloved teacher and colleague. I love learning more about his passion for music. He had a quiet, unassuming, humble presence that touched the lives of everyone who he served. I will definitely make my way to your store one day to honor him. Thank you for your beautiful tribute to Jim.
What a lovely tribute to a friend. Matt, let me tell you, it really comes through that your words are straight from the heart. Well done and good job - I know it wasn't easy. So nice to know the full story about Jim and his collection. I now own a couple records from it thanks to TMR and I will keep Jim's memory alive by thinking about him every time I listen to his copy of AIC Jar of Flies - and I listen to that album A LOT. R.I.P. Jim, and thank you.
Wow- wasn’t ready for this video. Beautiful tribute. A good reminder to all of us that none of this stuff really matters. Put down the phone, make memories, cherish loved ones. Unseal and spin a record for Jim today ❤
It's never an easy topic when losing someone, they seemed like an awesome guy. The Jim Bin is such a fitting tribute and yet another reason why I'd love to someday visit the store. RIP Jim.
That was such a lovely heartfelt tribute. Jim sounds like he was a great guy and his record collection is just amazing. You’ll definitely do it justice. RIP Jim. ❤
enjoyed watching this video and seeing all of the rare titles that will be going in the "Jim Bin" as someone else put it. you handled this video with real class and it was a great tribute to him. May Jim rest in peace.
RIP Jim. What a beautiful legacy he leaves behind. And over the coming years that legacy will be distributed out to hundreds if not thousands of music lovers. Not to mention, the shelter animals!
I’m really sorry for your loss. I could imagine that the opportunity to buy Jim’s records would’ve been kind of a bittersweet experience for you, without having the opportunity to meet him before he passed. At the very least you get to keep some of the records you treasure the most and have a tribute bin in his honour. Also having some money from the sales go to an animal shelter is a very honourable thing too. Beautiful tribute, RIP Jim.
RIP Jim. Such a beautiful tribute Matt. Even i'm from Belgium and probably won't be able to visit your store in m'y life, the collection couldn't go to a better store. Love your vidéos... Have a nice one 👍
Such an amazing tribute to a member of your community. You have really created a space for people to feel welcomed join the hobby. I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed your videos over the years. This video really shows that you value and cherish the people who participate in the hobby with you. Thanks for everything Matt!!
This is a beautiful tribute video. I wish that the two of you had met. It's a reminder that time is short and we have to appreciate every moment we have.
So sorry to hear about Jim. I remember him in the live streams fondly and as a fellow Sacramento record collector I’m sure he’ll be missed here. Seeing his face now, I feel like I saw him in lines at RSD a couple times. I wish I had known him as he seemed like a great guy. What a great collection and a wonderful legacy to pass on to you to help you with your new store. A true fan.
@@TooManyRecords It is crazy. What’s really weird is I remember waiting in line with someone who looking back now I feel must of been Jim ahead of me who told me he was there to pick up Alice In Chains Live Facelift. I can’t be totally sure it was him but my memory of that moment, it seems like it definitely could of been him. It’s a very small community here and not a lot of places do RSD.
Maybe my favorite video of the channel? This was a fantastic video and tribute to Jim's life and collection. What a wonderful collection to acquire. It will find great homes for sure. I look forward to seeing what records are left from the collection once I visit.
I lost my uncle 2 years ago and well he was one of my biggest supporters to my musical journey....the last thing to enter his grave was a cassette mixtape....he inspires me thru my music ands in everything i do i try to honor the good person he is.......spread that love and happiness music is the one thing that still connects us all no matter how divided the outside might be. They're never gone, may he rest in peace in Gods eternal Kingdom.... "My life may be short and soon ill be gone, but knowledge lives on and that is the power of flesh"- John Kevil of Warbringer (Divinity of Flesh) No matter if were not on this physical plane of existence the knowledge we pass down to others thru our love of music and Jim being a teacher is what sticks with us and inspires other people.
Everything about this video is beautiful. Thank you so much for putting this video out and honoring this man and his collection. Vinyl is truly a reflection of our artistic personality, and it's wonderful that so many people share in that hobby/lifestyle.
That moving tribute made me choke up a bit Matt. So sorry to hear about your friend and that you didn’t get to meet him in person but you’re right deep and meaningful relationships can develop with the i internet - it’s crazy but awesome. You are the perfect person to have gotten this collection. Glad to hear all the joy it is already bringing people. Take care friend, that video couldn’t have been easy to do. It tuned out perfectly because it was so heartfelt and honest.
GI Sanders made a video not too long ago in the topic of "what we want to happen to our collection after we die". Strangely enough I can no longer find it - maybe he took it off youtube for one reason or another. One of the first comments under the video was from Jim. I was shocked to see the lawdood moniker and read what he wrote describing his situation, as I remembered him from your livestreams and how you were always so happy to greet him. It's so cool how his memory will live on in the pieces of his collection in many-many other collections. RIP Jim! And my condolences to his family and friends.
I found the video and his comment is still there. It's on the NTX Vinyl RUclips channel and the video is called "What the #%$@! are we going to do with all these records when we die? Talking about records"
This was a wonderful video. I sure hope members of his family see this video and hear you talk about his collection and how much you thought of him. ♥️
RIP Jim Sanchez! 😢 great that you will have a bin in the shop as a tribute to him. And it would be nice that every record would have a little flier with his photo that can say Mr. Jim Sanchez collection. So that anyone that buys a record of his, knows it’s coming from his beloved collection.
One of your best videos, Matt. Thank you for this. On a side note, love how the eye is always drawn to Merriweather Post Pavilion in every record collection.
Wow, great collection. He did it the right way. Definitely not easy. I think that’s a beautiful way to get rid of the collection. Plus you donating to a local animal shelter.
Matt (and Jim)...this is a truly inspirational story. It's a bit weird since I'm not that old at 43, but still, occasionally I think about my records in the sense of - what's going to happen to them when I'm not here since I don't have an obvious heir. But this idea that records will and do outlive us, and that we're only keeping them for some time and they're not strictly tied to being "our posession"...and that you can pass them on to another person who will understand them and use them and enjoy them...that's a really nice thought and a really quite beautiful perspective. Cheers to both of you.
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. As a huge music fan across all genres and a new vinyl collector, who's purposly put off becoming a vinyl collector for a long time, I'll be sticking around for a while as a new subscriber. Great video and tribute to a long time dedicated collector and true affeciando of music
That’s really beautiful and touching and good to know there’s people like yourself that can be trusted to do the right thing. The animal shelter is also something my wife and I feel strongly about we have 2 rescue dogs. Would be honored to have anyone of the records in my collection as a memory and would certainly display it in a special place. A special hype sticker like the photo of Jim would be really special just a thought? Thank You
Wow, what a collection. RIP. Wish I wasn't on the other side of the country so I could dig. That Ben Folds Five is already tempting but that's gonna go quick I'm sure. Thanks for sharing the story.
Genuinely teared up watching this. As horrible as this moment is, I think we can all agree it’s moments like this that are exactly what we love about this channel and this community. you never expect a youtube channel to become such a legitimate part of your life (as it is for all of us who watch TMR), but to see his life become an enduring part of this channel and community is really incredible. Love all you guys ❤
Wow Matt, really nice tribute and video. Giving some for charity really seems what your videos shows about you, that you’re a really nice guy! Didn’t know you in person but come on really beautiful video! Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal. Best Tiago
Great video and tribute, even though we are on opposite sides of the continent, I hope I can find just the right record to purchase from you that was previously one of Jim's.
For those of you who don't know "out of state plates", check out 45 Sunblock segued into Maureen. That alone should make you want this album. This is like Bruce's 98 box set " tracks". You spend the whole experience wondering why these weren't on albums. I was an early Fountains fan, and I had all these on 7inch and UK CD singles back in the day, but spent 17 years wishing this CD collection would come on vinyl. I got Sky Full of Holes 2011 vinyl on clearance for $4 before the resurgence. It goes for slightly more now lol
It makes me sad to know that a lot of used vinyl I get, is because someone passed on. When thrifting, you can usually tell the difference between someone cleaning out the garage with unloved records they haven't played in decades versus pristine higher caliber stuff. I just got a ton of pristine promos at a thrift store, and I have the awful feeling that I benefited from this very situation. I feel it's better to go to a record nut like me, who has appreciation for it
Sorry for the loss of your friend. Nice collection, even better tribute. “Jim’s Jams” seems like an appropriate name for that bin in the store. ✌🏻PS - once upon a time you sold me your OG of that Guster record. #wampavinyl
Funny... during the rare section of the video I was saying "have it", "have it" "have it"... Songbook, Four, The Beautiful Letdown, Deluxe, Live Facelift... He had great musical taste.
I've been told by my step dad that I might be getting his 10,000+ records when he passes. Kinda makes me nervous to be honest with you lol still got a decade or two before that would even be close hopefully.
Why? What other options did he have, sell them on Discogs, Ebay, yard sales? Respect to Mazzy he seemed to be selling off quite a few vinyls at way over their market price! The 'Trump' of the VC!!

Rest and rock in peace, Jim ♥️

Thank goodness . I live in Vancouver Wa. I will visit your store.

A wonderful but heartbreaking video Matt. Looks like Jim lived and breathed music to the end! What a wondeful guy!
RIP Jim! Excellent collection!
Condolences to Jim's family. Thanks for making this video Matt. The record bin and charity donation is a brilliant idea.
Rip, sad but the collection will carry on with his spirit.
so sorry for your loss Matt, such an enduring beautiful tribute
This was a wonderful video. I sure hope members of his family see this video and hear you talk about his collection and how much you thought of him. ♥️
His brother commented below and I spoke to his sister-in-law and his mother today

Damn, rest in peace Jim. This sucks to hear but this is a beautiful tribute to him
Also if I had the money I'd take Four in a heartbeat
It goes to show that we must have an exit strategy for our collection, otherwise our passion will end up at a yard sale or in a thrift shop
RIP Jim.
i'm personally not leaving my records behind when I enter the void, but that's just me.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. Nice collection, even better tribute. “Jim’s Jams” seems like an appropriate name for that bin in the store. ✌🏻PS - once upon a time you sold me your OG of that Guster record. #wampavinyl
Jim's Jams!! Love that!!
Sad about Jim :(
Nothing better for Soul's of the Departed than helping out animal shelters .
Damn :( I saw that picture of the collection :0
Funny... during the rare section of the video I was saying "have it", "have it" "have it"... Songbook, Four, The Beautiful Letdown, Deluxe, Live Facelift... He had great musical taste.
RIP Jim but there ain’t such a thing as too many records as all us collectors know! But its a neat video show title.
😢
you are a good friend . My prayers and deep sympathy for your friend and family .. What is the name of your store ?
Too Many Records!
I'm in CT and want some of Jim's records for my collection. Will there be an identifier on your discogs store?
I haven't figured out the online sale aspect I haven't put anything up yet...
I've been told by my step dad that I might be getting his 10,000+ records when he passes. Kinda makes me nervous to be honest with you lol still got a decade or two before that would even be close hopefully.
Good job, you got me all emotional this morning!
I find it quite sad that people can collect thousands and thousands of records only to leave it all behind without listening to a majority of it.

Don't be like Ma$$y Maslof and after crying the blues about his lost friend , sells off his collection on you tube. A no-class move.
Why? What other options did he have, sell them on Discogs, Ebay, yard sales? Respect to Mazzy he seemed to be selling off quite a few vinyls at way over their market price! The 'Trump' of the VC!!
@@miketomlin6040 Yeah he's just like trump. Just like him. And, you are just like Ma$$y.
@@thesixthbeatle Thankfully, only when he's selling vinyls, as far as know. He may well have a tiny mushroom sized penis?
His family received money to be taken care of...you have a business and good luck....
