  • With this video, I introduce myself to the vinyl community and offer a tour of my San Francisco apartment including the "record room" and some of the vintage stereos I currently have set up.
    Songs played in this video:
    I Hired The Girl - The Geminis
    Looking For Trouble - The Charmers
    Love Bound - The Universals
    I'll Cry - Judy White
    I do not own the copyrights for these recordings. No copyright infringement is intended. If you have a copyright claim, please contact me and I will switch out the song in question with some fine royalty-free muzak. And your world will be right again.

    Very impressive. You brought back some cool memories for me. So many of these items were in my youth, I enjoyed the whole tour...my fave is the two TVs, those are awesome!

    Now THAT is living my friend!!! I just love a home/space that really expresses the owner's personality and in so many cases grasping the childhood they wish they had lol. We spend so much time in "our homes" over our lifetimes that I believe you should make them a place that really makes you SMILE every time you wake up in it or return to it.

    We have a similar collection (numbers-wise) and there are cubes all over our tiny SF flat. I've been scared to put more cubes on top of our two 4x2s -- did you anchor anything in the wall? Magic voodoo? Crossed-fingers and a prayer?
    I used to know a guy that had a huge collection of 45's -- he and his better half moved to Hawaii. The best part, he said, was being able to afford a house where they were not surrounded by records where he was sleeping, always hoping the 'big one' wouldn't hit. (Although if you gotta go, killed by your own 45s sounds okay, as far as such things go.)
    Anyway, thank you for the walk through, and happy hunting (I assume you are around Hayes and Fillmore from time to time, at least on Saturday).

Some of the bands i like go from Amon Dull,,Gong,Hawkwind, King crimson,yes..Etc. I notice You had a fillmore Jefferson Airplane poster so you apparently like psych? I also colllect Vintage audio peices mainly from the likes of Harman kardon an Denon. If youre in the North Bay ( Novato) Should check out Watts music Down Grant av a nice Music store!
