The Partridge Family Album - absolutely no embarrassment here! It was the first record I ever owned and I still have it. Interestingly, my purchasing of music continues to this day, and it all started here. Because this album was "ground zero" for me, I now have it framed and on my wall. Yes, I am proud to own it!
Understood your point regarding embarrassing record albums. Never embarrassed to show any of my albums in my collection whatsoever!!!! Love all types of music and genres. New subscriber to your channel.
The Partridge Family? The Archies? The Osmonds? Andy Gibb? Just some of the greatest pop music of all time. The P-Fam's "Sound Magazine" is one of my favorite albums of all time. The Osmonds had 3 classic albums in a row: "Phase III", "Crazy Horses" and "The Plan". By the Archies I also love "Bang-Shang-A-Lang" and Andy Gibb's "Me (Without You)" never fails to move me. I used to take a lot of flak from friends who would thumb through my LPs and laugh that Captain and Tennille, Andy Williams, Andre Kostelanetz and Mariachi Brass that was mixed in with the Doors, Deep Purple, Peter Gabriel and Talking Heads.
I bought some Eminem thing on vinyl that has four different versions of something called "Slim Shady" on it.They only wanted $5 for it (unopened) back in a time when not much Rap was on vinyl.Bought it just to say i have it as it'll NEVER see my turntables.
Guilty! But hey, The Partridge Family albums WERE good. The combination of some of the best studio musicians of the time, catchy tunes and… be honest… David Cassidy really did have legit pop star talent. So yeah, I admit it. I played those albums a lot longer than I care to admit.
@MusicMeanderings I listened to it once and thought, hmm that was interesting. No recollection of what I heard. I just remember him being one of the many pop culture phenomenons of the 90s like Riverdance, the Gregorian chant cd, Salsa dancing, the Swing revival, etc..
Hi 👋 im viewing from New Zealand. I have a large music collection from the 1960s to the early 2000s. My mother liked Engelbert Humperdink in the 1960s. She bought his records and the home was filled with his songs. I liked the The Archie's and i enjoyed their TV 📺 show. I bought their comics too. I was into American Bubblegum pop music in the late 1960s. The 1910 Fruitgum Co was one group with their song titled 1, 2 , 3 Red Light. Also the Ohio Express , and the Cowsills were favorite bands of mine too.
Hello, I enjoyed your video! I could not care less what people think if any of my vast diverse big records collection. I have a dozen Engelbert Humperdinck albums. He was named after the classical composer. I buy anything Osmonds, Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees, The Archies and The Partridge Family. “Osmonds” was not their debut album; it was their 8th. Their debut album was “Songs We Sang on the Andy Williams Show.” . “Sweet and Innocent” was also on “The Donny Osmond Album.” I have all Partridge Family albums on CD. I buy anything Sir Mix-a-Lot except “Baby Got Back.”
Cool video! I actually have all the "Partridge Family" LPs except the Christmas LP. I got another one for ya, The Brady Bunch LP. Say what you like about The Partridge Family but, the songs hold up but, the Brady bunch, well... not so much. I also have 1910 Fruit gum co. entire collection as well as most of Ohio Express's LPs. I am 62 and I don't care anymore what someone would think. Good on you for owning up to these guilty pleasures.
My big three that friends always say out loud when looking through my collection are from Cher, Bobby Vinton, and Barry Manilow. They are all greatest hit type albums. Yep, I enjoy them. 👍
Note on the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar": It's a classic pop song, co-written by Brill Building songwriter Jeff Barry (known for his collaborations with Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector: "River Deep, Mountain High," "Be My Baby," "Chapel of Love," "Do Wah Diddy Diddy," "Da Doo Ron Ron"...) and Andy Kim (who co-wrote the Ronettes' "Baby I Love You"). This stuff is gold!
Thanks to my siblings' record collection, I was an early fan of bubblegum rock. We had some Osmond 45s. I got the Paper Roses LP. I even once owned an Osmonds lunchbox. It'd be worth something now. They also had some Monkee records. So I was a fan during their dark years. Who ever thought they'd be popular again? You can get downloads of Archie and Patridge Family albums on the Freegal database. Check your local library. I once wrote Ron Dante and got a reply. One of my children albums was the Pickwick Children's Chorus singing songs by the Archies, Sesame Street, Bozo, and Pufnstuf (the movie). Our old record collection got destroyed in a trailer fire. Thanks to garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, and eBay, I was able to get some of them back. My favorite singer is Ray Stevens. While I like the comedy songs, I'm actually partial to his serious songs. Who else had some disco records in their collection? Perhaps the most shocking thing I ever bought was a Taylor Swift album. Amazon had the download on sale.
I have all the Carpenters albums and :- 1 Helen Reddy, best of 2 Abba Waterloo 3 Sex Pistols, The Great Rock n Roll Swindle 4 Kid Creole Hits 5 The Sound of Music soundtrack. These I admit too, but I have many more embarassments of the same. I am of course deeply ashamed and strangely fond of them, at the same time.
Of the things you list, I might find the "Sound of Music" soundtrack most unlistenable (I have the Kid Creole and Sex Pistols, too) -- but it's nothing to be embarrassed about!
I find the more I accumulate the more I say why not to . I have pretty much all those artists you mentioned and many of the records you featured . One bad Apple by the Osmonds could very easily be a Jackson Five song same general vibe . As for things I own that I used to mock I have some Jim Nabors, Boxcar Willie, Slim Whitman pretty much everyone that was part of a special TV offer . I do try to avoid the comps where Drew’s party singers of someone like that covers “ today’s hits” but I’m fine with buying an instrumental comp from someone like that .
I have both of Mary Kay Place's Loretta Haggers albums (from "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman": "Tonite! At the Capri Lounge" and "Aimin' to Please") and I treasure 'em! MKP also has a track ("Blue Moon") on the mostly Kander & Ebb soundtrack double album for Martin Scorsese's "New York, New York." Love her.
@@bacarandii I only have the Tonite! At The Capri Lounge Loretta Haggars album. Mom only got her copy when watching Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Apparently Baby Boy made the hit charts back in the day. LOL
I'm glad I caught this channel. A couple of things. No one should be embarrassed by the music they collect. Taste is what makes the world go round. Everyone likes something different and thats a good thing. As for a few of your selections. 1: The partridge Family. These golden albums wee written by some of the best songwriters of the day and featured the Wrecking Crew. David has one off the best and most emotive pop voices in history. I'm a metal singer and David was my first vocal influence. 2. englebert. Hes one of the most successful solo artist of all time with over 100 million records sold. While he was never as cool as his contemporary, "Tom Jones" he certainly had the voice and the hits. Really cool topic. Keep it up. Subscribed.
When I was younger, I would buy at least one album a week from the local record shop. Sometimes there wasn’t anything that I would normally buy or a record I was expecting to be released was delayed so I would buy something that I may later consider embarrassing. Now, 40 or so years later, I stand by my decisions and am not embarrassed at all. Everyone’s taste is different and most of these albums made it into the charts so I can’t have been the only one to have bought them.
The fact I have several Rolf Harris and Bill Cosby albums, maybe I should be embarrassed but not necessarily for the content of those records. My mate thinks I should throw them away, but I still like I've Lost My Mummy, Sun Arise and Jake The Peg. As far as the Bill Cosby albums go, I have great memories of sitting down laughing at them with my late mother so, no, I'm not getting rid of them.
I understand your ambivalence, but the Cosby albums themselves are still the same as they were when you were a kid. Only the context has changed. I felt the same qualms about having Herbie Hancock's "Fat Albert Rotunda" (1969), with pieces written for Cosby's cartoon TV series. I got over it.
Engelbert Humperdinck has secured his place in history because he beat The Beatles in 1967, when his single "Release Me" kept "Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane" off the top at UK #2.
That was an early album in my collection starting with Close To You in 1970. TPF as it turned out was a Wrecking Crew album and the reason it sounded as good as it did. I haven’t watched yet. Will do so presently. joe
Good fun video sir. I too have that Osmonds lp plus the P Family Album you showed. Never met anyone who owns them as well until now. Couple zingers I also have are MC Hammer and a Liberace album from my parents old collection. Used to have the infamous Milli Vanilli debut yrs ago and after the news of they being fakes I got rid of it. Apparently it is worth a lot now so that may have been a dumb thing to do. Cheers and God bless till next time. 😊.
Probably the most embarrassing thing I have is I have a basically near complete collection of Herman’s Hermits US LPs, it started as a in joke but now I think I have all but one.
As a pre teen boy in 1970 thru 1973 I had all of the Partridge Family albums (and one David Cassidy solo album). I threw them all out once I discovered Elton John in 1973. LOL I wouldnt be embarrassed to admit having Andy Gibbs albums. He was just an extension of the Bee Gees. Had he not passed the plan was for him to join his brothers.
The only record in my collection that has raised eyebrows is when we all fall asleep where do we go by Billie Eilish. All I can say is I like what I like!
The Archies Lps are F-ing great. Brilliant sunshine pop, excellent songwriters and top session musicians. Their 5 albums (1968-1971) are pure teen sunshine pop. Truly addictive. I didn't follow the comics and cartoons, but if you're a fan of groovy sunshine pop, get their 5 albums - you will not be disappointed. All hail Ron Dante!!! 🌞👩❤👨
At the ripe old age of 67, I think I've outgrown the capability to be "embarrassed" by any record. Even if my tastes evolved or I never really thought a certain LP was particularly good, I've learned from experience that, maybe once every 10 or 20 years, there will come a moment when I want to play that record and I'll miss it if I've purged it. (In my way of looking at it, once you have record shelves set up, each additional single LP takes up roughly 1/8" to 3/16", so it's not taking up a significant amount of space.) At various times in the last 60 years I was embarrassed about having the early Monkees albums, the early Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass albums, Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Water," Three Dog Night's "One," the "Easy Rider" soundtrack, The Rolling Stones' "Dirty Work," Dire Straits' debut album, Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians' "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars," Neil Diamond's "Stones" and "Moods" (never grew tired of the earlier stuff, though), Suzanne Vega's "Solitude Standing," the first three Police albums... and many others that I eventually wound up re-purchasing on LP or CD. Retroactively, I can't stand Natalie Merchant's voice, but I can't say I'm embarrassed to still have (on CD) the first three 10,000 Maniacs albums. I'm just unlikely to listen to them again for many, many years. Heck, I still have the first two Don Henley solo records (with "Dirty Laundry" and "Boys of Summer" -- which are damn good singles, even if the guy himself is a prig). I make no apologies for anything!
Have the Archie’s lps KES-101 through 106. Bobby Sherman with little woman on it. Killer joes international discotheque-killer Joe piro, the poppy family, mouth and McNeal for the long version of how do you do, and Mac and Kati Kasoon for the stereo version of chirpy chirpy cheep cheep. I am 65, have been collecting music since age 10.
IN some lots of records that came my way are rock records in German and French language. By unknowns. I tried to listen a bit and quite off putting. But I have not thrown them away. Somehow I might give them away on the rare chance someone might want them. Hate to throw away nice vinyl. I also have Command records of music that sounds like stereo demonstration music or corny stuff but I keep them because of the astounding sound of the 35 MM tape masters transferred to the excellent pressings.
It's no longer in my collection, but I confess to buying the debut album of Big Brother & Holding Co. (featuring Janis Joplin) on release in 1967. It was pretty dire - & lasted a mere 22 minutes! (My excuse is that there were so many great bands emerging from America's West Coast at that time, I didn't think I could go wrong - I was wrong!) Also, along with many thousands of others, I bought the Blind Faith album in 1969 (or was it 1970?). For years afterwards, it would appear in second-hand shops across the land!
That borderline kiddie-porn Blind Faith album cover would never be allowed today (for obvious reasons), so it might be something of a collector's item in that respect...
None of the albums mentioned here are ones I'd be embarrassed to have - but my collection includes the Smothers Brothers (before the TV show), Spike Jones, P.D.Q. Bach and the Beatles' 45 of "My Bonnie"!
Golden Throats-The Great Celebrity Sing Off A bunch of actors and TV stars sing modern rock classics. I laughed a lot at William Shatner on Mr. Tambourine Man and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. Sebastian Cabot recites Bob Dylan songs. Others like Mae West (Twist And Shout), Leonard Nimoy (Proud Mary) embarrass themselves. I can't bring myself to listen to it again.
RUclips used to have a high quality video of their entire 1972 show from the Ohio State Fair and it was fantastic! All I can find now is clips from it.
....THESE, are your 'embarrassments'!??? ..... *HAH!!!* ....I'LL give you, 'embarrassing'.....my LIST.....(cont.) Girl You Know It's True - Milli Vanilli Spiceworld - Spice Girls Step By Step - New Kids On The Block In The Zone - Britney Spears Spellbound - Paula Abdul Kylie - Kylie Minogue The Sign - Ace Of Base Sesame Street Disco Fever - Sesame Street Gang Xanadu Soundtrack -Olivia & ELO all of Johnny Mathis' Albums......ALL of them..... The Susan Boyle Christmas Album POP! - Erasure's Greatest Hits Love & Kisses - Danni (Minogue, Kylie's Sis) .....all of these, on *CD!!!* ....Oh, did I tell you, that I'm *SIXTY-TWO!???* ....ha-HAA!!
Mine would be Barry Manilow greatest hits shawn cassidy carpenter's greatest hits The brady bunch album partridge family would be there have a few of there's i would also say the osmonds love the crazy horeses album
all of my records could be embarrassing. I don't have a single Beatles or Rolling Stones record in my collection. I love Children's Records. I collect Disney Sesame Street Raffi. I Love Polka Records. I have every Brady Bunch Record. I don't care what anybody thinks.
It was actually “Crazy Horses” by The Osmonds…Wild Horses was The Rolling Stones. (And, with that entire album, The Osmonds proved that they could ROCK with the best of them - they could beat both Black Sabbath AND Led Zeppelin with the hard rock sound. The album even impressed most Headbangers! So, nothing wrong with that!)
Nope none. Why would you keep them if they embarrassed you. Who am i gonna impress by only having what everyone else likes. I have artists like Air supply, Larry Gatlin, Menudo, Andy Gibb, Kenny Rogers....but i also have Metallica, The Cure, Jason Aldean, Madonna and so on. If im in a cetain mood, these albums either remind me of my childhood, my parents, a good or bad time, so on. So just enjoy your weird tastes and dont give a damn what others think.
Michael Omartian may be an amazing musician & producer himself, but Sailing is a VERY boring song! (Though I do like "The Best You Can Do" from the Arthur movie soundtrack....)
Maybe the other 5, but why would you be embarrassed to have the Andy Gibb record when he probably was the MOST talented of the 4 brothers (besides Barry)????
It was Maurice - he played everything - piano, drums, bass, guitar, songwriter, singer, produced other bands etc. It's a damn shame his LP "The Loner" from 1970 is STILL unreleased. He plays nearly everything on this LP. It's floating around on the internet as a bootleg CD - nab it if you can.

Captain & Tenille the one with Muskrat Love on it. Can’t remember the album name.🫣
It's no longer in my collection, but I confess to buying the debut album of Big Brother & Holding Co. (featuring Janis Joplin) on release in 1967. It was pretty dire - & lasted a mere 22 minutes! (My excuse is that there were so many great bands emerging from America's West Coast at that time, I didn't think I could go wrong - I was wrong!) Also, along with many thousands of others, I bought the Blind Faith album in 1969 (or was it 1970?). For years afterwards, it would appear in second-hand shops across the land!
That borderline kiddie-porn Blind Faith album cover would never be allowed today (for obvious reasons), so it might be something of a collector's item in that respect...
@@bacarandiiThey're still printing it.
Milli Vanilli on cassette but I threw it out years ago!
DO WHAT?? I don't have any, I wouldn't buy any albums I'd be embarrassed to have!!
Why would anybody do that!!
Not embarrassed, but I have some bubble gum rock. Monkees , Partridge Family, and yes the Archies. I like Sugar, Sugar. Be proud.
Nothing to be embarrassed about. All about growing up and the beginnings of our musical education.
The New Christy Minstrels ! Love them !
So sayeth the PETE!
Englebert Humperdinck, German classical composer, 01-09-1854 to 27-09-1921. Obviously, that's where the weird stage name came from.
😂Mary McGregger Torn Between Two Lovers on 8 track.
None of the albums mentioned here are ones I'd be embarrassed to have - but my collection includes the Smothers Brothers (before the TV show), Spike Jones, P.D.Q. Bach and the Beatles' 45 of "My Bonnie"!
How could anyone possibly be embarrassed by "Iphigenia in Brooklyn" or "Concerto for Horn & Hardart"?
My parents had Smothers Bros. @Purple Onion, Curb Your Tongue, Knave and Best of Spike Jones. They were great! I own them on cd now.
I have my late mums Jim Reeves albums
Golden Throats-The Great Celebrity Sing Off
A bunch of actors and TV stars sing modern rock classics.
I laughed a lot at William Shatner on Mr. Tambourine Man and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
Sebastian Cabot recites Bob Dylan songs.
Others like Mae West (Twist And Shout), Leonard Nimoy (Proud Mary) embarrass themselves.
I can't bring myself to listen to it again.
I have Ed Ames albums here in my house but they belonged to my mother in law. If anyone wants ‘em let me know.
I've seen Englebert... lol
The Osmonds were great performers
RUclips used to have a high quality video of their entire 1972 show from the Ohio State Fair and it was fantastic! All I can find now is clips from it.
Harry Hibbs at the Caribou Club....
ok....ok.......partridge family greatest hits.........yup.........
Hey thete's some good tunes on there. "How Long Is Too Long?"... "I Can Feel Your Heartbeat" is a jam!
As a grown adult, I’m not embarrassed about anything in my music collection.
Why would one be embarrassed of what one has in ones collection? I don't understand it.
Anyone remember Kajagoogoo and Limahl ?🤔
Too Shy!

@@MusicMeanderings Kidding.
Mine would be Barry Manilow greatest hits shawn cassidy carpenter's greatest hits The brady bunch album partridge family would be there have a few of there's i would also say the osmonds love the crazy horeses album
None. But then I don't own any Englebert albums. 😂
None. If I like it, why should I be embarrassed by it? No one should. Enjoy what you like, and don't let anyone tell you its wrong.
all of my records could be embarrassing. I don't have a single Beatles or Rolling Stones record in my collection. I love Children's Records. I collect Disney Sesame Street Raffi. I Love Polka Records. I have every Brady Bunch Record. I don't care what anybody thinks.
Issues
I'd have to say Bo Donaldson Billy don't be a hero
I have the album. lol
Buckner And Garcia - Pac-Man Fever. Their work with Waffle Records is way better!
It was actually “Crazy Horses” by The Osmonds…Wild Horses was The Rolling Stones. (And, with that entire album, The Osmonds proved that they could ROCK with the best of them - they could beat both Black Sabbath AND Led Zeppelin with the hard rock sound. The album even impressed most Headbangers! So, nothing wrong with that!)
@@georgeprice4212 THANK YOU for the correction! Can't believe I messed that one up, I actually used to own the 45. lol 😁
Nope none. Why would you keep them if they embarrassed you. Who am i gonna impress by only having what everyone else likes. I have artists like Air supply, Larry Gatlin, Menudo, Andy Gibb, Kenny Rogers....but i also have Metallica, The Cure, Jason Aldean, Madonna and so on. If im in a cetain mood, these albums either remind me of my childhood, my parents, a good or bad time, so on. So just enjoy your weird tastes and dont give a damn what others think.
Tom Jones lol
Shaun Cassidy wasp
🤭lol
That pink flamingo Christopher Cross' LP... Baaad.
Michael Omartian may be an amazing musician & producer himself, but Sailing is a VERY boring song! (Though I do like "The Best You Can Do" from the Arthur movie soundtrack....)
Embarrassed to have Thriller White album,Pink Floyd Dark Side of the moon.
Huh?
Maybe the other 5, but why would you be embarrassed to have the Andy Gibb record when he probably was the MOST talented of the 4 brothers (besides Barry)????
It was Maurice - he played everything - piano, drums, bass, guitar, songwriter, singer, produced other bands etc. It's a damn shame his LP "The Loner" from 1970 is STILL unreleased. He plays nearly everything on this LP. It's floating around on the internet as a bootleg CD - nab it if you can.
THOR 🎤 KEEP THE DOG'S AWAY .. MY BEST WORST LP
