Watching Michael go through record bins is almost as satisfying as doing it myself. I’ve been to Randy’s many times myself. I always carved out the time to go there when I was in Salt Lake.
so we don't have anything better to do than to watch a guy look at LP's...I need a life
Not just any guy
There s one for sale its the extended LP version 🤣👍
I'm streaming... no problem 😊
@thegrimyeaper indeed! A self absorbed narcissist! 😮
That Grant Green album is amazing. Glad you picked it up
Fun. More of these please.
Wouldn’t be a Fremer video without him mentioning Tron or being a Quincy Jones expert witness
HE DID WHAT 😂
of course! There are always new viewers....so vets can hit FF, which stands for either "fast forward" or "F...k Fremer"
@@trackingangle929 🤣 now that’s a good response
Love listening to Doug Sahm 🎸
Love that shop
Love these types of videos. Love your insight and background stories.
Great to see you out and about michael Cheers mate 🙂👍
Any store playing Doug Sahm can’t be bad.
This was fun!
I miss looking for records. And I don't even have a turntable
28:52 Such a genuine and wonderful Fremer moment.
LOL! "It doubles my pleasure. That you want it, and I have it."
It is so great to see that Fremer is still triggert the same as most collectors, he sees a nice copy, at a good price, and he HAS to buy it.
I heart Randy’s! I go every several years. Found a sealed OG Beneath The Planet Of The Apes on my last visit.
That's my local record store! I love Randy's. You never know what you might find in the "Newest to Be Filed" section. I have to be careful when I go there because I always find too many things to buy. I was hoping to see you go through the jazz section.
I have had great luck buying full LP collections. Keep the best dump the rest done this many times over the years. Most times you find gems in collections. If it hits the record store its been picked through and up priced.
I've seen the video of your music room. With so many records, I'm amazed that you remember which records you don't have.
Floating Points Elaenia is a fantastic record.
YES Michael, you need Sweet Dreams
I keep trying to explain that processing through vinyl forces analog compliance filtering to a digital file. No electronic filter can do the same thing.
I’ve been a customer of Randy’s Records for a few decades now, and I thoroughly enjoy perusing the record racks. As an avid audiophile, I need to be selective about the condition of used LP’s; I don’t want to hear the sound of a previous owner’s bad stylus/cartridge/turntable quality and improper setup.
I’ve also been a follower Fremer's writings in Stereophile, Tracking Angle and Absolute Sound. So I know he's a record collector, and very concerned about the quality of analog playback.
But I have to ask about two statements in this video:
1. (17:20) Bop Till You Drop. A great album, features David Lindley, Chaka Kahn, and several others. I bought it when it was first released in 1979; I thought it sounded good then and it still sounds good now. Recorded and mastered digitally, then released on LP. Seems just like any other MoFi LP released in the last several years…
2. (22:15) The “pissing of summer lawns.” Is he simply making an adolescent joke about the title of another great album, or was he really dismissive about this album, either because of its recording quality or the musical quality?

Everytime with The Tron Album.
"Every time I go to Salt Lake City I go to Randy's Records....this is my first time." :-D
Randy's is my local store and I have spent a ton of $$$ there. I enjoy my records and I will be shopping there again soon. With that said... CDs are the best format in my opinion. While there are a few records in my collection that I enjoy more on vinyl, for the most part, the CD sounds best to my ears. Sorry, Michael.
Great fun. But how could you pass on The Astronauts, a band that could have played at high school proms, with a major label record contract?
More Fremer digging videos, please.
Michael down with dubstep
Hey, when was this filmed, 2022? Michael talks about the Beatles Revolver as "it will be coming out soon". Fun Fact -"BILBO" in the dead wax is the same as Porky Prime cut - George Peckham.
Good catch. Yes this was filmed Fall of 2022.
Bilbo is Denis Blackham. Different guy.
@@georgepblair You are right! Thanks for the correction. Consider me informed.
I recognize Doug Sahm’s voice. I’m guessing this is his band the Texas Tornados .
You shouldve got that Cold Blood rekkid.
Here's that Beach House No Other Concert Michael says he wishes was recorded....it was.

Do we have to watch fremer?
It’s your choice.
I need to pick up a copy of that "Eurythmics" record!
10:30 Passing up, Chick Corea’s Children Songs because it’s a digital recording is absolutely ridiculous. It’s a fantastic work. Sounds wonderful and one should educate oneself before making such an impulsive judgment.
I mean he quite literally said right after that there are plenty of really good sounding digital recordings.
~ yeah, Fremer. Is it true that hat Marcus Garvey wore was in fact Toussaint Louverture's hat?
Well, if I ever went to that store I would stick to the cheap & sale sections - those prices were some of the highest I've ever seen in a record store. Yikes!
That Julien Baker Next to the Beatles is pretty good.
Please excuse me for questioning your terminology , but “crate digging” as I understand is really digging through great big boxes of bark and records which are usually on the floor in record stores. They are not sorted by genre they’re not in alphabetical order or just a mishmash and that’s where the treasure hunting is and why it’s called crate digging the man in the video is simply digging through very well organized and probably over priced record albums.
I won’t reveal my source but I found some great thrift shops to do great digging and they have hundreds of boxes of record albums on the floor. It can take you five or six hours to go through all of them but it’s worth it whether it’s for your personal collection or for high resale
Chick in front of him at start has great legs.
You sound like a great catch...O right, that's why you're alone.. SMH
I cringed when he blew past Can's "Monster Movie" like it was yesterday's garbage. To each his own I guess...
Glad that I have lost my ability to quick flip. And, I am only fifty-six.(Record Store 11:00 D.J. Is uninspiring )
A man should never discount his wages.
repeated
he's so full of himself. Saying the Daft Punk version of Tron wasn't good because he didn't work on it. Obviously, he doesn't know what French House music is, otherwise, he wouldn't have said that......but why would I expect an old man like him to know what French House is? He probably HATES EDM music with a passion because it's not "analog" enough for him.
You may feel he is a bit pompous, but he may be correct in his assertion. If we can assert that one pressing is better than another, I suspect he knows much better then we do, wouldn’t you say?
@@mden2490 He's in his late 60's. Would you expect a guy in his late 60's to like electronic music? I wouldn't. EDM music such as House and Trance are more what younger guys like. I highly doubt Michael has any Skrillex Deadmau5 or Tiesto in his collection, and those are just a few of the many EDM artists out there.
