Seriously, this is the most underrated channel on RUclips. Top notch content
Ikr!
I really liked this episode. Interesting to learn about the man behind the suit.
I've been watching your videos for the best part of a year and never commented. But after watching this video I just wanted to share my voice; I love your videos man, keep it up :)
thank you James
Same here, big fan of what you're doing. You should start a Patreon...
I just found your channel and I love it. That 50's aesthetic works very well for talking about Vinyl. (It also makes it funny when you talk about stuff like Death Grips)
I know right? I love the juxtaposition
Y'know I had the same thing happen to me where I almost kinda dropped out and lost interest in vinyl since I really didn't ever have much money as a teenager, however someone recently bought me a new turn table for my birth day and that really re ignited my addiction to vinyl and making upgrades to the turn table. I forgot how much I loved this hobby and I'm glad to see that vinyl rewind is still around I watched you since my collecting journey started 7 years ago and now here I am scrubbing through all your videos. I still remember the day my parents broke out a crappy all in one turn table they bought for christmas to play their old records, and even just the mechanism, the way a turn table worked absolutely blew my mind when I was 8. I had only known of cassette tapes, cds, and the early years of mp3 players.
Great video, made me look back at my music journey, my first memory is my dad play the doors on his record player , by the time I was 5 I had my own Walkman listening to Elvis doors ,Beatles,ccr , and from there I never stopped looking for new music, to this day I’m still find new music from late sixths early 70s, it’s endless . Check out John Mayall - empty rooms , (ten years after) (Dust) (damnation of Adam blessing) (Bang)(hawkwind)(frijid Pink)(flamin groovies)(Demian)(Bedlam)(glass family)thanks for all the great videos I always look forward to them
Thanks for giving us more insight, about who you are and what got you into vinyl, etc.
So cool. Actual footage of your first music hit.
BTW, Tempest "Living in Fear" Check it out. Also Patto.
You've always reminded me of a 50's dude, haha! Keep up the amazing content. Best vinyl/music channel on RUclips!
Loving your videos. I'm in my early 40's and just bought my first record player as an adult, so I've been picking up some of my favorite albums to jumpstart my collection. I'll definitely be keeping up with watching your videos. Thanks for what you do!
One of the biggest mysteries is how this channel doesn't have over 100k subscribers, great video again man! Happy to support you in your journey!
Absolutely love your channel. It's very refreshing to see somebody into vinyl on YT that isn't all in your face and obnoxious. Keep it up.
I find it funny that I’m watching this video about your vinyl journey and I just started watching your videos! I started collecting vinyl two years ago, and I’m very happy with my collection. I adore the Blue Album by Weezer, and it’s helped me through many times. The Beatles have done this for me as well!
Also, if I could recommend a group it would be Steely Dan!
Steely Dan is great. I grew up with Aja
I love the stories a vinyl collection tells. The memories of the music. The memories of the record. How/where u found your copy of the album. I love it. Every album is a story. In many cases, every album is many stories. Collecting and listening to vinyl is the perfect hobby for me. Sucks it took me so long to discover.
This is my favorite channel on RUclips. You’ve created such a cool vibe, man!
This channel’s lovely, you’re lovely :)
I really enjoyed this vid man, I remember when I got my first vinyl I was 16-17 years old and my dad brought me Abby Road and the fact that I held the music physically blew my mind the rest is history for me
Now I want to recommend an album if you don't mind that Ive listened to and can't stop Ween The Mullask absolutely fantastic album
Great album to start with!
Thanks for the very entertaining bio. I have to say that as a record fan since the mid 1950's I left the vinyl music scene around 1993 or so. After seeing your enthusiasm for this format through your videos I have gotten back into collecting those albums I had tossed away in the 70's. BTW I lived in Santa Cruz for seven years in the 70's. Due to the lack of opportunity there I had to move to Seattle. I still love that Beach Town however. I heard Logo's is closing down. Bummer
Yeah, I was able to shop there one more time and I captured some footage before it closed. I'm planning to do a little tribute to it. Glad you got back into it.
Why doesn't this channel have more subscribers!? It blows my mind. This channel deserves way more attention.
I found you the other day and I absolutely loved it from the first moment! Hope you keep doing this!
Ughhh Why Are You Soooo UNDERRATED?!?😫❤️❤️
Hey Geek....thanks for sharing your vinyl journeys with us. Huge fan of yours and its people like yourself that reignited my love and hunger for collecting vinyl once again. Oh look...I found my copy of Santana's Abraxas :)
Great album
I love Enoch Light's music too. I enjoy Vinyl Rewind a lot. You have a nice way of presenting your music and your close connection to it.
Your best video to date, thank you for sharing. You are one of the reasons I went an retrieved my records from storage and started to keep better care of them. I can't thank you enough.
I hope that you continue till the cows come home singing the blues! or forever .....which ever comes first! God bless you!
Oh wow, that's awesome!
This channel is like a hidden gem to me and I really love and appreciate this stuff you're putting out. In the pile of shit that is RUclips this is a golden nugget.
Nice retrospective, loved it! Always good to learn more about the genesis of a channel.
You definitely have one of my favorite channels, appreciate all the great content over the years!
Really love this channel the style of the room is so 50s early 60s and the outfit is so 1950s. I love the style it really suits talking about music and is just cool.
The location for the cover shot on that Specials album (top right on your set) is a mear 500 yards from me. The actual spot is underwater again, as at that time in 1979 Coventry Canal basin had been drained for maintenance, a nearby plaque commemorates it.
I've been listening to records for over 60 years! There is just something about it that I find magical about playing records! A list of my go to records from the past!
1. Johnny Rivers *** Rewind *** The whole album in excellent both side!
2. Hall & Oats *** Abandoned luncheonette *** Side one excellent, side two sucks!
3. Bonnie Raitt *** Streetlights *** Both side excellent mellow album
4. Joe Cocker *** With a little help from my friends *** Most all of it excellent!
5. Ten years after *** A space in time *** A great album to be stone to!
6. Bob Dylan *** Blood on the tracks *** Whole album excellent!
7. Boz Scaggs *** Silk Degrees *** Both side excellent! It was over played a lot.
8. Bruce Cockburn *** Stealing Fire *** A cool album for upbeat folk music.
9. Gordon Lightfoot *** Sundown *** Both side excellent. If you want something mellow.
10. Patti Smith *** Easter *** Both side excellent! I believe her best album, start to finish!
11. War *** Live *** 3 out of 4 sides excellent! A great summer, party album!
12. Van Morrison *** No guru, no method, no teacher *** Excellent album.
I love the huge range of influences. I was right there too, sandwiched between my Motown siblings, classical father, easy listening mom and rock and pop loving friends. Glorious time for music :) love your channel!!
Thanks for opining up it was great to know I’m not alone. Keep up the good work.
Huge fan of the channel. Really like your personal stories with all the music. I have always not been a fan of hip hop music but after some friends and your top 2019 records video I have started listening to some. I listened to Malibu Ken, Igor, and circles. Really has shown me a new appreciation for the genre of music. Thanks for the nudge!
Thank you very much for your show ! It makes me feel happy. You do it very well, so proffessional, kind and with the right magic for a magic show, which gives good times sharing you with people, all your excellent coments, showing every detail of vinyls and music. The retro ambient of your living room is very good, every detail. I love it. Proffessor Watson is great, and your vintage drinks too. I am thanksful for your show. Congratulations !
Thank you
Aww love hearing his appreciation/ passion for music!!
Thanks to you and other VC RUclipsrs, I'm a 51 year old former DJ who got back into vinyl after 20plus years of no vinyl. I crate dig ever few weekends and search my local Charlotte, NC record shops. It's been a blast! Thanks for sharing your love and story, and good luck with the acting!
That's great to hear!
I haven't checked in for a while. This was a wonderful video. I loved the old childhood pics. Your journey is very cool. I hope you keep it going. Peace.
My favourite video of yours thus far. I love hearing about people's musical journeys. Amazing chanel top notch production!
Review your favorite ska and rockabilly albums! I miss seeing voodoo glow skulls at the showcase theatre in corona CA. Sadly the venue is closed but it was the best place to go on fridays as a kid. So many punk bands and hardcore bands and a lot of the California bands played and started there at that venue
This video was just beautiful geek, I still remember 2014 when you gave me shout out on the channel, I was at school and nothing could have made that day better, as always keep it up, gr8 moves and much love
Thank you! Man, 2014 was 3 years ago, time flies! Thanks for watching
Love your channel. Your high school photo made me smile. Not because you look weird or anything. But because I am on a different continent, thousands of miles away and probably a generation apart. However, the background in your high school photo is exactly the same as my high school photos. That cloudy, vague blue background is apparently universal. Anyway, thanks for the content. Great stuff!
Thanks for telling your story man, cool stuff 👍
The attention to detail is great.keep up the great work my friend
I just recently discovered your videos, and as a collector and audiophile, they are really entertaining to watch and see your perspective of some of my favorite albums. Keep up all the good work.
thank you
Very good video! It takes balls to share so much personal stuff in so much detail. You deserve a lot of kudos. Keep it up man, we're watching!!!
I love your story of music discovery and collecting. Very ernest and sincere. I lived in SC from 1994-2003 and know Logos well. I have a recommendation for you that I think will blow your mind and since it's difficult to track down it will give you a Holy Grail type quest. See if you can find every Oxford American Music issue with the music sampler CDs. It took me a few years to find to find them all. But those CDs have exposed me to some amazing stuff that I would never have heard before. Best of luck collecting.
Great video, Eric. Glad you kept and keep it up! All best from the E.U. -- Van.
Love your channel man, I'm a big music fan and collector myself and I think we're from the same era....every time you put a review you're so on point with your comments and that really show your passion for music. And I can't be more empathic with that feeling. Thanks for your passion man, I always enjoy having your point of view from those timeless classics!
Dad had great taste Eric! Love Clapton Allmans and Traffic
Your story is genuine and inspiring i know you'll reach huge success, never stop making vids man
It really pisses me off that this channel doesn't have more subscribers. It's a nice community, but it really deserves more recognition.
Thank you
when i show my mates a record and say "let me put it on", they sit and listen to it with me. I'm glad that my mates have that kinda respect for vinyls
Sir Illuminati That awkward moment when someone calls records and vinyl, "vinyls".
@@turntablesrockmyworld9315 That awkward moment when literally no one cares. If someone gets into a hobby, instead of telling them they're doing it wrong, maybe try and be a bit less of an asshole.
Traffic Fourty Thousand Headmen Knocking At The Door is my favorite for Traffic
Thank you for your channel ! I think you look how TV should be. Spending good time to talk about music in a nice room, we have a good time with a friend, you, behind the screen
Recently discovered your channel and It's a new favorite of mine. Keep it up ! We love it
Great story! That’s what’s amazing about music. Everyone has their own unique journey.
Thanks for telling us your vinyl collecting story. I started collecting in the 90's . I do have a few original pearl jam,offspring stone temple pilots,the rest are 80's records that were a dollar. I only had 30 records and did not play them for a long time as well. Now I am back into collecting,it's been a lot of fun.
That's great, I wish I had more original 90s pressings. Somehow I picked up an original Automatic For The People at a yard sale and only recently realized how valuable it is
Vinyl Rewind cool! I was able too buy that same record a couple of years ago for 10 dollars! I believe it's pressed in Germany. Don't know if it was new old stock or what. Definitely want more 90's R.EM. To complete the collection.
I came across the channel because of the wall videos and I was hooked
That hairdo would survive the apocalypse man! The Chris Isaac look well serves you well and your parents add great taste in music!
Still the best channel on RUclips! Thanks for sharing your journey and thanks for all the great work!!
I thoroughly enjoy watching your show. You strike me as a real fan of music in general; you're not just throwing something together for some views. It was nice to hear how you got into collecting.
I started collecting records in 2005 and I've now got a couple hundred. I, too, have fond memories of my parents' record collection when I was young. My dad, in particular, got me into music through the Beatles and I've been playing drums and guitar for over 20 years.
Keep up the good work, and G'day from Australia.
Yeah, if it was about the views, I'd be doing something else all together. 05 was a good time to get into it, you could probably still get some high dollar original pressings for a decent price. Where do most of the pressings come from that you find in Australia?
Depends on the age of the pressing. If it's older than, say 1990, it's probably an Australian pressing, otherwise it's most likely pressed somewhere in the EU. Also depends on what you're looking for. For a band like Girlschool from the UK it's easier to import a UK pressing than to find an AUS pressing as they weren't that popular out here.
Brilliant channel! Thanks for sharing your story
Yo listen to Manchester Orchestra
Keep up the fantastic work, man! I know you've got me into a lot of good music. I had to sell all my records recently to pay for some car repair, but I'm hoping to start again soon with a fresh collection. Definitely gonna pick up a bunch of stuff you recommended in your videos!
I'm sorry to hear but glad to hear you'll be starting again. Collect what you love
It's clear that this show is a lot of hard work as you say. Look at that setup! Also not sure if that's just how you dress/groom, but the whole elaborate, sophisticated aesthetic of the show makes it feel like something you'd watch on TV. Really well put together
What I like so much about your channel is how sincere and joyous you are every time you feature a an album you like. Your channel is awesome and you are awesome keep up the good work again you are awesome!
You're so God damn charming lol
How is this guy not famous? He has been on youtube for so long.
cheers brother its a pleasure watching these vids. its cool to have a friend that doesn't know you if you know what I mean
This is the only show about vinyl worth watching, great stuff!
Great video with some very personal history. Helps the viewers bond with you. Keep going!
Great video! Thanks for sharing, Bo Diddley has always been my favorite as far a rockabilly goes. Also, here are some random recommendations from me- Easter Everywhere (13th floor elevators), Da Capo (Love), East West (Paul Butterfield Blues Band), and Stand Up (Jethro Tull). Those are all old school recommends but maybe one or two of those will be new to you!
Great picks, thank you!
Love your videos ! And I always enjoy hearing about how people got into music.
I loved hearing your vinyl odyssey. I started collecting in HS as well- class of 98! and then went many, many years (a decade plus) of not, and now I'm getting back into it.
Oh wow, you are two years ahead of me. Welcome back
I am 34 and started collecting vinyl at 16. NO JOKE I got into vinyl cuz I found that very same Lynyard Skynard album in a thrift shop. I’ve been collecting ever since but also went into a “dark period” where I didn’t collect for a long time. And now I have over 1000 Records. Mostly 90s - current. I really enjoyed hearing your story man.
Wow, that's a crazy coincidence
I love this channel and this guy is great.
This dudes music upbringing was exactly mine.
This is definetly my favourite vinyl channel, keep it up man!
This channel is fantastic! Top class!
Love this
this dude mentioned Hum. coolest guy ever
Traffic was the first LP I purchased 1972
You are awesome..
Love the show VG, thank you for adding to the fun of Vinyl enthusiasm! 😃👍
I did exactly the same thing around 2011.... threw loads of records out. My criteria being that if it could be found on Spotify etc, it went. That's why I was left with sound effect albums and live comedy records. Perfect condition of Tubeway Army's Replicas just given away to a charity shop. And like you, I now own more records than I did before that purge!
Haha, funny how that happens
Well bro, I'm happy your here; love your content. :)
Wow I haven't seen the entrance to a warehouse music in over 20 years that brought back some serious nostalgia
Keep it up. Greetings from México
Great episode. So awesome to hear your journey. Very inspiring!
Hum!!! so awesome
Thanks so much for the show! As a collector of 40 plus years it’s been great to hear your insights !! Check out if you haven’t already XTC ,indelible murtzeps /spectrum ,Snakefinger,Badfinger,john martyn and glorious Kate Bush!! Thanks for the show !!!!
One of my favorite channels! Keep up the amazing work!
...what a cool dude! thx...
Your videos are world class. Keep it up. I always look forward to your content. It’s exceptional.
Nice video dude! We all have a story to tell about collecting and I enjoyed yours immensely. I felt bad when you mentioned that you got rid of a lot of your records but when the internet hit or when moving lots of people did the same thing. It seems like the older we are the more we appreciate the past, not just for nostalgia sake but in general. I was fortunate to have an older brother who passed down many of his records and told me never to get rid of them because some may be irreplaceable. I followed his advice and was grateful because he was right! There's always new music to explore and despite having immense collections I always wonder what the heck have I missed and will never get to hear in the future when I'm gone. You have a great channel and keep up the great work. Thanks again. My recommendation to explore is Be Bop Deluxe, that is if you don't already know! Cheers
Don't feel too bad, I didn't get rid of anything amazing. A lot of it was 80s stuff and random silly coverart records. Those were some wise words from your Brother, I'm glad you heeded them. I will check out Be-Bop Deluxe, thanks
Thank you for this very personal episode! Now we even got the chance to get to know you better. I'm growing to be a huge fan of your show! Always very funny and interesting reviews - with your channel there is so much music to explore! Keep it up, Vinyl Geek! ;)
P.S.: Did you ever heard of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly?
Great video. Glad I found this channel, I am a huge collector myself and have an obsession with music.
Love this channel and your style, art and design from the 50s is be favorite era.
Dude I really hope your channel becomes bigger because seriously, you are more creative than the youtubers that make videos about them buying dumb supreme shirts and doing dumb things because they are young and have a lot of fame. Best of luck!
Haha, thank you. I'm a filmmaker first, so I don't see why that can't exist more on RUclips
Awesome video, man! It was great to see how you came to appreciate music in your childhood. Many similarities to mine... so great to see your love for Weird Al! I totally relate
