Hi Hanna , I enjoyed your epic video ! As usual you did well. I hope you are able to get 2 1981 classics Tom Verlaine " Dreamtime " & Echo & The Bunnymen " Heaven Up Here " ! That Kinks " Low Budget " is a great live album. I saw that tour & they opened with " You Really Got Me " Ray Davies proclaiming " This Is Our Fu**ing Song !! " The Kinks & Blur , 2 very 🇬🇧 Bands ! Get Happy 😊 & me , I'm all smiles I got my crocodiles.. 🎸
Hi David! Thanks for your kind words on my video, as always. I hold on tight to that Crocodiles LP I found! I hope I find Heaven Up Here at the Omaha June record show...if record shows will be up and running again then! Nobody knows at this point. I have Tom Verlaine's first solo album, but not any others. I was about to get Dreamtime at the Quimper store, but I was hoping to find it at a better price later on. I won't snooze next time! Hope you are well!
LOVE record store footage! Thanks for this, and stay safe & sound! / Jens
Thanks for watching, Jens! Glad you liked going into these record stores with me. It's something we're all missing dearly right now. Stay safe and well!
This makes me miss record stores so much! The Byrds in mono was a great find. I love all those 60's garage rock bands too. The t shirts you picked up were great. I can't wait for all this to be over so I can get back out there. Great video!
Thanks Melinda! Unbelievably I was able to pick up 3 mono Byrds albums on this last trip. I was so excited because all I had were stereo versions and had never even run across mono before! Yes, it really will be nice for things to get back to normal...hopefully in a few months. Catch ya later!
Great tour and showcase Hanna Wonderful you got this tour in before they all closed down for awhile. You’re stocked up for the time being with music. Plus those years of Shocking Blue songs 🤓😎. Love this one.
Thanks, Mazzy! Only time I was in Seattle for this visit was the airport. It was kind of a scary time to be there because that's when they were saying that was the epicenter of the virus. I'm indeed plenty stocked. You live in the best state for record shopping...hands down! Made it down to Portland, too. It's only a 2-hour drive from where Bo lives. That video will be soon. Stay well.
you got quite a good haul of records there, with being english i have followed the who for years and i recently picked up a copy of the who sell out album, i had been after it for a while.
Very cool, Nick! Glad you got your hands on a copy of Who Sell Out. I currently have 2 vinyl copies, as well as 2 CD editions. I kinda love it. Long live rock! Thanks for watching!
Hi Hannah !- Great video of many interesting record stores. I agree that The Who Sell Out is a great album, but for some reason it always gets over looked when great Who albums are mentioned. You said that it looked like Pete Townshend on the cover of Thunderclap Newman. I believe it's his brother Simon who played on the album. The Them lp Them Again, I was fortunate to pick up a tag sale, 6 or 7 years ago for $1. Sometimes tag sales have their advantages. Keep up the interesting videos and stay well.
Hi Alan! I'm not sure why Who Sell Out always gets the shaft. Maybe people don't like the jingles in between the songs. There are so many brilliant songs on it, though! Oh, is that Simon T. on the cover of that Thunderclap Newman? Would explain the resemblance to Pete! :-) Whoa, you got a killer deal on Them Again years ago! Those deals don't really exist anymore! Thank you for watching and be safe.
Who Sell Out is literally my favorite Who album. Love the jingles. Very creative work with elements of later work to come.
When you flip through the records in the record stores you visit, it's always interesting to see which German / German- language albums made the long way to the USA. In this video for example I discovered Alphaville's synthpop classic "Forever Young" and Falco's debut Einzelhaft.
Love that some of you look for specific albums and then find them in these flip-throughs! It's like I Spy! :-) Thanks for watching!
Who doesn’t love to look at the walls. Walls make us drool and wish. Walls make us safe for a trip and hope that we can score well. My last visit to a record store , beside my local guy, I spent $200 off the wall. So much good stuff. I was going to put some back but then thought I have not seen this in the wild in all my year so what the heck. I asked for a volume discount and got it. You definitely got a lot of stuff to enjoy.
Thanks, Steve. Yes, the walls...grails everywhere, along with drool! Hehe! Wow, I'd love to know what you spent $200 on off of a wall! Here's hoping we can get back to normalcy this summer...or some form of it. Keep spinning!
Just great. Such a gorgeous area!
Thanks, Dan! I absolutely love Washington. Win-win for scenery and records! Stay well.
Thanks for showing off those classic albums
from the 1960s.
The Troggs and
The Leaves.
Did you see the Standells, too? Love that 60s garage music! Stay well.
I've been hearing about you. Nice stuff. Get Happy for $2.98... Sweet. I like your store tours. Awesome! I look forward to more.
Thank you, Dean! Really appreciate you watching my channel! More videos soon! Rock on! ✌️
Hi hannah, glad to see you got some stiff little fingers.
Stay safe
Hi from Ireland
Thanks, Michael! I have you to credit for getting me into Stiff Little Fingers! Really love them! Take care in Ireland, my friend.
Hi Hannah from Wales. Thanks for another video. Certainly missing visiting record shops but gives us a chance to revisit old favourites. Stay safe.
Hi Stephen. Glad you enjoyed this digging video! Yeah, it's sad our favorite stores are closed right now, but it needed to be done. I hope they are all able to open again whenever it's safe to do so. I'll have another trip video soon. Stay well.
This video was just what the doctor ordered. I needed to flip through bins and check out walls! Thank you so much. So excited that you found Them Again. One of my fav records. I have it on my wall in my last video😎
The scenic videos at the end were also fantastic! I can’t wait to get out and go hiking.
Cheers,
Brian🍀
Hi Brian! Glad you checked this one out. Them Again was an amazing score! Pretty hard to find so I was stunned at the price! So pleased to hear you have it too! I’m behind on videos so I need to catch up on yours. I’m taking you to Portland stores next! I’m going hiking today! 🙌🎶 Cheers!
Right!? I needed the sensation too. Satisfaction garaunteed with hanna though...
Just enjoying your Washington record store vlog. Nicely done! Lazy Days looks amazing. I could spend all day in there. I have that New York Tendaberry LP. Take care, John.
Thanks, John! Was thrilled to find New York Tendaberry! Rainy Day is the best store ever! ✌️🎶🙌
Another Great Vid! Some Good Ones Fasure!!! 👌👀
Thanks so much! I'm still amazed at some of the vinyl I picked up on this last trip...and for those bargains! I appreciate you watching! Cheers!
Love the nature trail/mountain range video tagged onto the end 😊
Thank you! I love getting outdoors and Washington certainly has gorgeous scenery and I love to hike! Take care.
The Omaha Introvert ❤️ you take care too.
Fun tour Hanna! Love these kind of videos. Great Lake Swimmers was a cool find. There albums are getting hard to find as there not pressed in huge numbers. Love there sound.
Thanks for the fun video. Take care and stay safe.
Brad.
Hi Brad! Glad you like these type of videos. I'll be taking you to Portland, OR next! I figured that Great Lake Swimmers was a pretty unique find as I've never seen their vinyl before. They deserve more recognition and I can't wait to get more, whether on CD or vinyl. I hope you stay safe as well! Cheers!
Funnily enough, Bo was the one who generously sent me a copy of The Leaves album years ago. Nice to see you got a copy too...... I am keeping an eye on a copy of Wild Thing, by The Troggs, which is sitting at a record store over here. Now, I have to wait until I am able to go there again...... Cool t-shirt from Rainy Day....My eyes just did pop up when I saw The Bachs displayed at the Rainy Day store. Wow! Lots of goodies there.... Them Again, Sell Out stereo, Standells, wow!... Loved the record store footages too.... Amazing stuff, Hanna. Best, Nelio.
Hi Nelio! Oh very cool that Bo sent you that Leaves album! He's so kind and giving. I hope you are able to get the Troggs Wild Thing when stores reopen! Got lots of 60s goodies this trip! Thanks for being here and stay well.
Hi Hanna! Wow, this is very cool. I would love to do this; a road trip where I could go to several record shops :-) Great video my friend. Enjoy the spins!!
Thanks, Eve! Just love checking out as many record stores as I can in different states. It's the most fun adventure. Having good company helps, too! Hope you are doing well considering all that is going down. Peace.
Busy, busy, busy!
I love to keep busy! Thanks, Bennie!
Great video Hanna. The shops looked fantastic. Your pick ups were also excellent especially The Byrds and Them finds. Hope you are keeping well despite all this madness. Enjoy the Easter weekend. Steve
Thanks so much, Steve. Nice to see you pop in. Still can't believe I lucked out finding both of those Them LPs out in Washington! What great luck. Take care.
Best part of the trip? The guy at Mossy Bottom giving you the hard sell on Moby Grape because of the song Omaha. Despite the fact you already had the album. Lol. I had a blast. Thanks for popping over.
Earhead Six yeah, that guy. Lol!!!! Cool store. Now that I think about it, I think I forgot to show the Depeche Mode 7” I got from there! The trip was a mega fun time. Thank you for all you’ve done for me!
The Omaha Introvert we’ve done a lot for each other. But this trip was great.
Hi Hanna,
Thank goodness for these videos like people like you, Miss LadySoul and Mazzy to keep us amazed with their vinyl finds. Nice finds. I see that the video that showed the Dennis Wilson Pacific Ocean Blue. That is a desert island disc. If ever you have a chance to see it again grab it. It is awesome. Every song is gorgeous. Very talented.... and very much in the shadow of his genius brother Brian. The Byrds.... will need to pick up some Byrds for I own nothing. I had the chance to watch the documentary "Echo in the Canyon' and they are all over that doc. It is well done. You should check it out. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Please keep safe and enjoy all those new audio goodies.
Tino
Hey Tino! I would have loved to have picked up that Dennis Wilson album, but it was $50. It was probably an original copy. I have trouble spending that much on a single album. I'll get a reissue of it at some point! You definitely need some Byrds in your collection! I have seen Echo in the Canyon and it is a very well-done documentary. I am certainly enjoying all of this music. Hope you are doing well. Stay healthy!
Great video and finds. Stay safe.
Thanks! Great to see you pop in here, Dereck. Peace.
Excellent video Hanna. Enjoyed the stores. I seen a kinks LP one for the road. I love that one. Them Again is a great find👍. You got lots of great LP’s Hanna.
You reminded me that I need to get more Kinks on vinyl! I love the 2 Them albums I scored on this trip. I'm amazed! Washington rules! Be safe and take care!
The Omaha Introvert I would love to have all of there viynl in my library. Big fan here. There’s so much out there tho. Did u see that Dave Davies solo I uploaded a while back? Good stuff
So much to comment on this one but man, I loved the footage at the end and the background music you chose was awesome. Where did you find the tunes? Love the background to Rocket Records and Bobs. Man oh man, I would have liked hiking up around there but I bet it's not good after a good rain.
I still can't believe those 'Them' finds. I've never seen a 'Them' album in the wild and honestly, that's when I like Van Morrison the most. I definitely get why you like Rainy Day records so much. It seems like there's a lot of good stuff packed into a small space. Never heard of MagnaPop before. I didn't know that Tacoma had a Drastic Plastic. I thought that was strictly a Nebraska thing. I've never heard much from the Standells outside of Dirty Water. Nice pick up there. Hi-Voltage would have easily gotten me in trouble. Just some of the stuff you were flipping through had me drooling. Very nice DM single scores. I wouldn't have pass up on those either. And then you had to show the Byrds ;)
BTW - If you like that SInatra album, try Sinatra at the Sands. It's a great set with Count Basie as his backing band.
Hey Paul! Ah yes, I've been meaning to get Sinatra at the Sands. Thanks for reminding me! Glad you liked the backing music I chose. Honestly, I just found it in RUclips's audio library. When I first started doing the trip videos I was using music from bands/artists I loved, but that's proved to be more challenging with the copyright issues. Every time I wanted to use a song, it was blocked. It was taking too much time. So, now I just use ones I like from their audio library. I search for rock and usually find some decent ones.
I ran plenty in the rain on a nearby trail in Washington, but other trails in WA just get too muddy after rain.
I'm with you - I like Van in Them the most, too. This was the second time I've seen Them records. The first time was at a record show last fall in Washington, but it was a French or some foreign pressing of Them Again, I believe. It was $80!
When I first went to Drastic Plastic last year I was like, wait a minute! This is in Nebraska! I talked to the owner who assured me that his Drastic Plastic was first and he wasn't fond of the Omaha one stealing his name. I don't know what's true because I didn't look more into it. Now the Omaha Drastic Plastic is just a record label: www.drasticplasticonline.com. Mostly punk reissues.
Rainy Day is my #1 store. Simply incredible. Then Total Drag in Sioux Falls, SD is my #2! I'll take you to Portland, OR next! Thanks, Paul! :-)
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I'm going to have to look again at the RUclips library. I wrote it off a couple of years ago because I couldn't find anything I could really stand to use in a video. Sounds like they've got some new stuff out there that's on par with a premium audio library service.
If it wasn't for Omaha's Drastic Plastic, I wouldn't have copies of the Damned ;) It's a bummer their store went under.
Hiking the Olympic P in the late Spring and Summer is world class. Don't worry about the rain, tons of trails are Nike friendly and the trees are your umbrella if the rain cloud pushes through. They just make the waterfalls more lively.
Yeah. There's still tons of cheesy stuff on there, so it takes plenty of sampling of the songs they have in the library before you find some decent ones. I have Drastic Plastic's reissue of the Damned's Machine Gun Etiquette album. Man, it sounds terrible. Sorry, Drastic Plastic. Lol. Hopefully yours sound better.
Oh trust me, I love the PNW! I have only been there in late summer through December and then most recently a good chunk of March. I lucked out this past visit because it hardly rained when I was there almost 3 weeks in March!
Thanks for another great video, Hanna. Looks like you discovered some cool stores along the way. Especially a big fan of your Great Lake Swimmers, Bardo Pond, Pale Saints, Kitchens of Distinction, Depeche Mode finds. To name a few. Ha ha. Can't wait to see what all you picked up on your musical journey to Portland.
Hey there, Stephen! Man, you have superb taste in music! I already want to get more from the Great Lake Swimmers. Hope you've been spinning LOTS of music! I think I got lots more CDs in Portland, but I hope to work on that video in the next week! Peace, and stay healthy!
Hanna, some great video and cool finds. Love Rainey Day and High Voltage they are great stores I always hit when I am in the south end. Never been to Bobs, will have to check it out some day. Cheers😀
Hi Dana! Glad to hear you're a fan of Rainy Day and Hi-Voltage, too! Fantastic stores! I take it you're in the Seattle area? I didn't go to Seattle this time because we had a pretty full agenda, but my next record store video will be Portland, Oregon! Cheers!
Blimey.....just spotted you thumbing past a Nine Below Zero record,i would never of expected to have seen a british mod revival record over there in the states,totally amazed by that. Also saw The Jam and Madness albums too...….would dearly love to visit America someday and crate dig etc....
More of these type videos please,excellent stuff .
Hey there! It's amazing what records can be found in this area of the country. Speaking of the Jam...I still need to find their first on vinyl, but I picked it up on CD recently to hold me over while I wait! Glad you like these trip videos! I'm taking you to Portland, Oregon next, my friend! Stay tuned! Peace.
I love these tour videos. So cool. Port Townsend is such a cool little town. I was there on business a few years ago and just loved it. Great finds Hanna. Keep rocking!
Thanks, Brian! Very neat that you've been to Port Townsend, too. It's a cute, quaint town on the water. Just gorgeous! Stay well and see you soon!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Very cool little town. We stayed the night there and then took the fairy to Oak Harbor Naval base for work. They had a lovely coffee shop there with this three-piece band (I can't say the same about the band) playing very loudly. My boss was smoking a cigar and was told he can't smoke so close to the building. Very interesting. A nice bar too that we visited while there. We spent the next two nights in Tacoma before heading to Seattle. I visited a record store in Seattle that was mostly metal music (I wish I knew the name), but that was before I was collecting again and I picked up just one record (Metallica Garage Days Re-revisited). Anyway, good memories.
So many records within a 3-hour area! Just incredible! Thanks for sharing your memory!
Such an awesome video..take care!
✌️😎🎶
Thanks, my friend! I appreciate you watching!
It's so good to see all the shops I have heard about over the years. I believe Fontana is the other label the Troggs was put out on. Get Happy and My Aim Is True is all I really need/love from Elvis from start to finish. I've been listening to Thunderclap Newman a bit lately - it really is a great album. What a pretty park at the end of the video!
Kris, that Thunderclap Newman is so wonderful. Glad you've been spinning it lately as well! I think my essential EC albums are My Aim Is True, This Year's Model, and Imperial Bedroom. Washington will always be #1 to me for record digging. The stores and deals are just incredible. Take care!
Wow! Looking at all of those record stores makes the quarantine a little worse ha! I love staying in and spinning records but I also love finding them! So many Killer finds! The Who Sell Out is my favorite Who album as well! Them is always nice mono or stereo..wow. Ill have to check out The Knitters (I really dig X). Subscribed!
Hi Tim! I really appreciate you subscribing! I know seeing the footage makes us all wish the stores were open right now. I've been going a bit crazy with online purchases. I need to stop myself. I'm a music addict! Hehe. Definitely check out the Knitters since you like X! It's great to hear them play a different genre altogether...and they pull it off! High five that you also love Who Sell Out! Peace and stay well!
Oooo The Troggs, very nice! I keep being told I need to check out Elvis Costello! "Them Again!" awesome...I need to get that album myself! The Who "sell out" is one I need to hear one day too! Depeche Mode 12ins...oh those are cool! The Byrds too...that's nice...I need more of their works! Looks like you had a great time! I miss the record shopping too! Nice nature shots at the end! All the best!
Hey Mike! Definitely check out early Elvis Costello. I love his first, This Year's Model, and Imperial Bedroom the most! Oh, you definitely need to hear Who Sell out! I now have 2 CD versions of it and 2 vinyl versions. I'm a bit obsessed. Hehe! Hope all is well and that we can do that trade soon! Peace.
shops look great & missed at this time. I always loved Wax Trax in Denver
Hey Jon! I'd love to hit up all the shops in Denver someday...I miss record digging and record shows. :(
Hello Hannah, how are you?
I see that you've managed to find a vinyl copy of Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Crocodiles' album !!!!!
Nice one....
Good vlog. I enjoyed it.
Hi Tony! I'm well. Hope you are staying healthy, too. YES, I finally found Crocodiles at one of the record fairs out there. I was so excited! Next I'm after a copy of "Heaven Up Here." Happy Saturday!
Very good video, compliments from Italy!
Thank you very much! Really glad you enjoyed this one! Peace.
Awsome finds 😊
Thank you for watching, Ilija! Cheers!
Great video Hanna. Jim
Thank you, Jim! I’m so glad you liked it!
Ah ha...Cheap Trick debut in the background!...nice.
Thanks for providing 'eyes' to this, as it give us an opportunity to catch some stuff.
3:53
Love that Cheap Trick debut...all thanks to Emma for recently gifting that to me! Glad to hear you're a Leaves fan! I'm glad you were able to join me on this record store tour adventure! Hi Voltage is quite the store indeed! :-) Take care.
Lot's of great picks!! That Them album is a gem!! Loved the quick picks at the end, especially that nice copy of Village Green!! Keep it up!
Thanks so much! I was so excited to find an early press of Village Green on vinyl! Seriously! I appreciate you watching! Cheers!
about 4 years ago, they (HBO)did a R&R HoF event where Laura Nyro was inducted, and honored musically, and I watched it more than once. she was such a great songwriter. thanx for something to watch other than Corona news. I LOVE that first soundtrack music ! reminds me of Quicksilver MS ,a bit. the Townshend T is too cool for school. X's 'more fun in the new world' is a record I never get tired of, all the way thru.stay well, OI.
always loved the fact that the JAMES GANG and theJAM are right next to each other in record stores ,as they are 2 great power trios of different rock, and 2 of my own faves.
the STANDELLS were on the 'MUNSTERS' ! very cool of you to plug a store where u didn't buy anything, as the owners undoubtedly love it .this was really a lot of fun.
I still need to see that Munsters episode! I've heard about it before! I'll RUclips it! Oh yeah, most of the time these owners don't mind me filming as long as I don't film them! They appreciate the footage getting out for exposure. Peace!
Hey Tony! Oh man, I'd love to watch Nyro being inducted to the R&R HOF. I think I'll search for that later. X are a terrific band. I never get sick of them, either. The Knitters were a wonderful brief departure from their typical punk sound! Stay well, Tony!
Very cool
Thanks so much, Nicholas!
Thanks alot for the video! I am missing flipping through the racks right now so this was needed! Cool scores on the Troggs and Standells. Washington looks pretty...need to go there someday. Thanks for letting us know where to go!
Hi Glenn! I think we're all missing our favorite record stores right now. It's important to support them right now through online orders. I'm not sure all of them will survive from this horrible crisis. Definitely try to visit Washington in the future if you can. It's my favorite state for records so far! Peace.
You picked up a lot of good albums. Can't believe you left that Bananarama LP in the bin.
Thanks so much! Meh, Bananarama. When I have a huge Shocking Blue box set, what's the need for Bananarama? Hehe! Take care.
My favourite VC videos are the "road trip" ones . Great footage. Sad news about Adam Schlesinger
R.I.P. Adam. I was just listening to all my Fountains of Wayne CDs the other night when I heard the awful news. He contributed so much to modern rock. I'm glad you loved my trip video! I will be taking you to Portland, Oregon next! Stay well.
Hey Hanna. Always enjoy seeing the shops. I really dig that Leaves record. Hot Boxing is the only Magnapop album I own. I have not heard that Great Lake Swimmers album - I have a few older ones. Loved the nature footage at the end. Cheers!
Thanks, Sam. I've listened to this Great Lake Swimmers LP a few times now. I'm so glad I picked it up. I need to find Rubbing Doesn't Help from Magnapop. My burned disc of it won't survive much longer! Cheers, and hope you are doing well!
thankyou ,great video
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
Cool to see the Bach's album on the wall ar Rainy Day. I only have a 7 inch single of Thunderclap Newman. Great outdoor footage. Thanks, Chris
Thanks, Chris. I have a 7" of Thunderclap's Something in the Air, too. Isn't it cool seeing all the rare or higher dollar gems on the walls of these stores? Rainy Day is the best! Cheers. Stay healthy.
Nice Hannah! You practically get the vintage record smell coming through the screen when your flipping through the albums. I have her first two records but I need some more Laura Nyro.
I hope these record shops survive this pandemic. Amazing how fast the world goes to sh!t. Stay safe!
Hey Robert! I think I have about 4 Laura Nyro records at this point. I really hope these stores can survive, too. Sadly, some will probably have to fold up. It is strange how much the world has changed in just a few weeks. I'll take you to Portland, Oregon next. Stay well.
I wish I could go record shopping in America! All your record shops look awesome! :)
You should plan a trip when it is safe again and all the stores are back open! Several awesome record stores in every state here! Be well.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I would love to!!60s garage/psyche is what I would look for. Hope you are staying well and safe! :)
Hello Hanna; Good to see you. Rainy Day ( had original copies of SF Sorrow & Ogdens Nut Flake on the wall.... nice) The stores had nice layouts & wall displays. The Leaves & Standells are good garage records. Fontana was the main label for the first LP. The Atco LP is rarer. Good find on the Laura Nyro. Nice price on the Elvis Costello. Them Again good find. Nice Townsend T -shirt. The Who Sell Out is a good price.ThunderClap Newman a good LP. Good that you found The Byrds in mono.The Pop power pop for sure. Some very interesting CD & LP pick ups from the various stores. Looks like the trip was well worth the effort. Be well, stay healthy & safe. Take care. Tina & Pat!~
Hi Tina and Pat! Great to hear from you. Yes, Rainy Day's grail wall is SUPER impressive. A lady actually gave all those OGs to the store years ago on the condition that they could never sell them...only display the covers. So, there they are! Love these 60s garage records. I'm still stunned at the price on that OG Who Sell Out! always fun to go to Washington for some serious record digging. Thanks for joining me! Stay well!
Hi Hanna, great finds. I really like Marshall Crenshaw judging by his first album, but that's all I got at the moment. Love Laura Nyro but her records are like gold-dust in the UK. I don't know if you've ever read Dr Seuss books but there were two references from 'Green Eggs & Ham' in this video - first 'Try it' by the Standells, and also 'Could you, would you?'' by Them. Some very cool stores in this video. Cheers, James
Hi James! Marshall Crenshaw had a lot of great albums in the 80s...especially his first two. Laura Nyro records are pretty easy to find in the states...lots in the dollar bins. I didn't even realize that by chance there were Green Eggs and Ham references in my video. LOL! Haven't read the book since kindergarten, but that's funny! Hope you are well and safe. Cheers.
Hi, thanks for taking the time and effort to make and post this video. I always enjoy your collection updates and road trip footage but in these scary times your video brought a bit of welcome happiness into my life.
Just to let you know Depeche Mode are releasing their Violator 12" single boxset. It was due to be released in May but has been put back to possibly July. I know you haven`t purchased any of the previous 12" boxsets but i just thought i`d mention it because its a good way to bulk buy mint condition pressings.
After watching this video i checked out the group THEM. I`d heard their name before but never heard any of their music and i really like their sound especially the track Could You Would You that you mentioned. I just bought one of their compilations. Thanks for the recommendations.
Hope you stay safe and well. Cheers from England.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm so glad my record store video brought you a bit of happiness! I can't afford those DM 12" box sets. Some are going for over $100 right now. If they ever decrease in price significantly I would love to pick them up.
I'm so glad you checked out more from THEM! Could You Would You is a wonderful track, right? You will be pleased with a compilation from them! Cheers, my friend, and stay well.
Hi Hanna
Nice video. We are two weeks into lockdown here in the UK, and having record shop withdrawal symptoms. So thanks for the virtual record flicking. You got some classics, Troggs, Them, Leaves, Standells, Byrds and The Who at good prices, good stuff. I would have jumped on The Knitters LP, love them, I have some 45's and at least one CD but no LP's. Glad to see you bought a copy of Entertainment, Gang of Four, another classic. You hit a sweet spot with me with the Laura Nyro, I am a massive fan and have most of her stuff. I starting buying her LP's in the late 1960's when a was a young teenager. I can recommend 'Christmas and the Beads of Sweat ' her 5th LP. You are the only other one I know who has that LP by The Pop. I have two of theirs and like you bought them blind back in 80's. They are both good. You have a fine taste in music and your trips to various places checking out stores must be heaven. Stay safe , Gary
Hey there, Gary! Glad you liked this video! Glad I could provide some virtual store digging for ya! That was the first time I had seen that Knitters LP. I was so excited to get it. I haven't seen any 45s from them. Laura Nyro - timeless music. Wow, you have heard of the Pop as well - too cool! Extra points for you! I love that release. I would like to find their first LP in the future. Thank you for the compliments. You stay healthy, my friend.
Hello! Just subscribed. You have great taste in music and also a great presentation! I'll be binge-watching your record find vids now...
Hi Bill! I'm thrilled to have you here. Thanks for the sub! Glad you like my taste in music. Plenty of videos in my archives for you to catch up on and more in the future! Enjoy and be safe!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Already watched about 7 of them!
Woo hoo!!!! 🙌😄😄😄
Amazing haul you picked up, Hanna!! Probably the last one in a long while until the quarantine is over.
Yep, that's true. I have one more offering of these kind of videos, though. I'll be showing you stores in Portland, Oregon next! Thanks, Tony.
Great vid Hanna, I'm going through Record Store withdrawal... so it helped a bit. I dig your taste in music. I have a bunch of Bardo Ponds early records/90's albums... but not that later era one you showed... will try and pick it up. Stay safe.
Hi John! Thanks for joining me on this one. I figured we're all going through record store digging withdrawals so I'm glad my video helped a little bit! I would love to get more earlier material from Bardo Pond, but it's hard to find on both CD and vinyl formats. Their recent stuff is really good, too and easier to find. Definitely check out that Under the Pines album from them! Hope all is well with you! Cheers!
Great taste in music
Awww, thank you! Keep the music spinning!
Hey Hanna!
If you’re ever up in Vancouver BC record hunting, you should check out Neptune Records, Red Cat Records and Zulu Records. They are all awesome!
Cheers!
Love these type of videos Hanna. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a record store where you can buy some jeans and a leather jacket too lol. Saw the Dixie Dreggs who are from my hometown in one of the bins. Love that autographed Pearl Jam! Take care and enjoy the music. Andre’
Hi Andre! Oh, that was Bob's store that had some vintage clothing in it, too. That clothing part of the store is run by Bob's friend. Those autographed PJ records go for a pretty penny! Thanks, and hope you are staying safe and sane, Andre!
Great pick ups of those OG 60s albums (Who, Them, Standells, Troggs, Hollies, Human Beinz) from your Washington State trips. Also the 2nd Stiff Little Fingers album as well.
The only Who albums I have on the Decca label are Live At Leeds (including the insert copies of contracts, letters, etc.), Tommy (with the booklet), and Magic Bus - The Who On tour. I have the other Troggs album on the Fontana label (posing in a cave). I have the 2nd album from the other Northern Ireland punk/new wave band, Hypnotized by the Undertones, but no Stiff Little Fingers.
Only recently dug up my vinyl LP collection, after many years of inactivity...
Thanks, Terry! I really had amazing luck when I was in Washington! I'd love to go back someday just for a big record trip. So glad you have rediscovered your vinyl collection! It provides many hours of enjoyment!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Thanks, looking forward to rediscovering music on vinyl! Just need to set up my system and I'll be set. For starters, I just opened my new Sony turntable (PS-LX300USB) last night.
Like to get a copy of Them's first album on Parrot, either the version you picked up, the hype sticker version which adds "Gloria", or the redesigned cover which says "The Original Hit GLORIA". As you probably know, the Shadows of Knight had the nationwide hit version of that song in 1966 because they removed a line "... and then she comes into my room" that got the original Them version banned on most radio stations in the Midwest and the East Coast. But it was a hit in the West Coast and even #1 for a few weeks in Los Angeles in 1965. I never heard the SOK version until I got a CD of their first original album on Sundazed.
As always I am definitely tuned into the music that you listen to Hanna. Now was this the trip to Washington that you were talking about in one of the last two videos? I have watched you hit some amazing record stores but I forget what cities you hit. Now I swear to you that when I was looking at your description before the video started I thought that Port Townsend said Pete Townsend. So seeing you holding up the Port Townsend jersey from Quimper Sound Records with the one and only on the front was wild. Loved the look of Drastic Plastic. I love all Vintage Vinyl/Vintage Audio places. So I would have definitely hit up Bob's. Great to see you grabbed some Weller. Any of his solo albums are extremely tough to find around here. Except for all of the current reissues. Which sound great. Especially Stanley Road. Ah yes. A sealed J Richman Modern Lovers. Imagine they were selling it for $3.98 at Peaches. I would have bought them all at the time. Loved the outro. Enjoyed hanging with you Hanna. Actually I should change your name from the Omaha Introvert to the The Adventurous Digger. {smile} Talk soon~
Rob/Boston
Hi Rob! Yes, I finally got around to filming this video about my recent trip to Washington to go to record stores and shows with Bo. You saw the two videos I had posted on Adventures in Record Digging. Now I'm just recapping everything here. Oh yes, Pete Townshend apparently once visited Port Townsend, so I thought it was awesome and fitting they put him on a shirt! You would definitely love Bob's store. He's a British guy and really easy to talk to as well! I've never seen Weller's solo albums on vinyl. I will have to look into the reissues for sure. Awesome Jonathan Richman & Modern Lovers sealed copy, eh? Of course I had to break the seal right away because I gotta listen to it! I like your proposed name change for my channel! I'm actually thinking about that! Thanks for the idea, Rob. Be safe.
Digging and record store videos already feel like time capsules😭 enjoyed every second of this Hanna, so much good footage to help with my buying/ digging withdrawal, all the great music you flicked thru for us, and then brought back. Yeah, Rainy Day looked like a temple to music. Love the Port (Pete) Townshend t- shirt! Great batch of 60s garage with the Byrds, Leaves, The Music Machine (I think it was them?) and especially Them. That record would go for $100+ if you could find it here. Pale saints!! Will probably cave and get a copy of that. So many more records I'm forgetting! Love the nature footage at the end, looks like a beautiful (wet!) part of the world. I even enjoyed the flight footage as a mini plane geek! thanks for sharing this part of the trip, hope you're keeping well and safe :)
Yeah, a just a month ago I was having a heyday with record stores and even going to two record shows. It's crazy how everything had to shut down so quick. Rainy Day is the ultimate store! They are super fair and I even shipped all the my trades from Omaha out there because they give the best store credit for your stuff! Yeah, can't believe some of those 60s garage gems I found for those prices...Troggs, Standells, Leaves, Them...cheap! I recommend that Pale Saints reissue! I hope they reissue In Ribbons, too. Glad you enjoyed the nature footage at the end, too. Stay at home? That's no problem for me with all this music! Cheers, Dean!
Very cool video ! Love the Laura Nyro “New York Tendaberry” album you picked up. I went and listened to Great Lakes Swimmers and really dug it. The more I heard the better I liked it. “Don’t Leave Me Hanging “ and the title song are both amazing. I’m also going to give a listen to the Pale Saints album. Some beautiful footage at the end of the video too🦋
Hi John! I wonder if it was you who recommended New York Tendaberry to me. I'm glad I found it, and for $1! I'm so glad you sampled that Great Lake Swimmers album. So many amazing songs! I can't wait to get more of their albums. I hope you like the Pale Saints, too. Glad you enjoyed the nature footage. Washington is gorgeous! Take care.
The Omaha Introvert 👋🏻 Hey Hanna, I think it was me who recommended New York Tendaberry. Can’t beat that price!!!!
As usual interesting selection of albums and bands keep up the efforts omaha introvert.
Thanks so much, Shayne! Love going on digging adventures! Cheers!
Looks like you had a great time record digging. i have only a few stores around my area to shop for records.get most of mine online.
Thanks, Gary! We've all had to resort to buying online for the timebeing. It's so much more fun to get out and dig, though! I'll be taking you to Portland, Oregon next! Your turntable you sent is getting a workout. It sounds so wonderful. That room tour is taking me forever, I know. Stay well.
Hey Hanna.
Thanks for the tour of some really cool stores! Love Bardo Pond. And Magnapop!?! There's a name I haven't heard in a loong time. At the Quimper store, did you notice that they had Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion? Do you alreayd own it? It's agrail of mine on vinyl, but I never see it here.
Thanks - Jacob
Hi there, Jacob! Hope all is well with you! Thank you for checking out this video. Magnapop don't get any love anymore! What a shame because I love their music! Yeah, Bardo Pond. Their recent stuff is awesome, too! I actually have a reissue of DM's SOFAD. It's my favorite. If I run into an OG one day, I would really be tempted to buy it. It is my favorite album from them! Cheers!
HI Hanna what a great video and very nice Record stores i wish have something like that here i have Records Store's but not a lot and i was going to go this spring but with this shutdown it looks like i wont go sometime this summer i hope but for now i have to order them anyway have fun playing Reecords and stay safe out there.
Thanks, Curtis. I hope the record stores can reopen in the summer and the record shows get running again, too. As long as it's safe and according to the medical experts, that is. Enjoy lots of record listening at this time! Peace.
@@TheOmahaIntrovertso i guess for now ordering is the save thing to do for now..
Ace video thanks, i managed to pick up a copy of Angry young them a few months ago mono copy on DECCA for about three quid (4 bucks) great album too! Cheers
That's a killer score! Hold onto that one forever! I'm still amazed at what I found out in Washington! Cheers!
Great footage of the stores. Most of those stores seemed to have placed the records by genre only. I like them to be in alphabetical order as well. I was gonna say that there's a store here that has several Depeche Mode 12" singles until you mentioned the price. It seems the price is universal as they are here about 15€ too.
I just visited two record stores today. Our record stores seem to be open though in various shapes. Some are open through post Service only, some have pick up (you order and then pick up from the store), some deliver to your home and some are open to public shopping. And of course unfortunately at least one has already closed business.
Take Care Hanna.
Pasi
Hi Pasi. Glad you liked the Washington state footage. A lot of the stores had the records sorted by genre and then alphabetical within the genre. It worked for me. At this moment, stores here in the states are shut down for customer foot traffic, but some offer free shipping, free delivery, or pick up. I'm sure there will be many that close permanently due to this, which is quite unfortunate and sad. Hoping we come out of this soon. Be well.
Hi Hanna, I really enjoy these flipping through the records at various stores. How dare you casually flip past Mungo Jerry's fantastic debut album at Mossy Bottom! (just kidding). I always thought the US cover of EC's Get Happy was far better than the UK as we had the pretentious "ring wear" added to the sleeve. Nice to see the K-Tel Best Of Bowie in one of the stores and also Annabella Lwin's solo album (ex Bow Wow Wow) with some of the tracks produced by Jim Lea of Slade. All the best and keep safe, Richard
Thanks, Richard! I do love the US cover version of EC's Get Happy, too! Very cool you spotted some neat records in the stores! Good eye! Stay well and thank you for stopping by, my friend!
The Leaves are on
the Mira records label
The Troggs are on
the Atco records, 1960s.
Hiya again Hanna. Really cool video. Those record stores look amazing. Cool footage. Lots of cool 60’s finds. Aw the good old , carefree days before this %
Hey Robert! Yeah, this footage was all pre-shutdowns. Actually, we knew about the virus but it wasn't as serious as everyone thought and stores were still open then. I'll be doing a Portland record stores video soon, too. I miss everything you do, too. It's such a bizarre time. We will probably have to wear masks for another year until a vaccine comes out. Ugh. Be safe. I care about you.
Hanna, here in NYC if you don’t have a mask you won’t be allowed in the supermarket. We went to the pharmacy to but toothpaste, soap etc and only 3 persons are allowed at a time. We are going less and less to the supermarket. We are shopping I’m a small grocery store ? Two blocks away. I’m scared of someone coughing even with my mask. Strange, scary days. This is the norm for the rest of Speing, summer and perhaps Fall. Gee how will we handle more months on quarantine. I’m already getting frustrated. I miss so much. I was looking on Amazon to see if the films and vinyl I cancelled was available. Most items will take longer to arrive if I reorder. I’ll keep my eyes open for your video. Stay well Hanna. Good night.
Wonderful video. I live in Washington, so this video is very useful to me. Thanks! Has anybody ever told you that you look like Barbra Streisand?
Thanks for watching, Jimmy! Nope, haven't heard the Barbara Streisand comparison. Take care!
Great digging at 24 minutes - did you pass on kraftwerk tour de France? Good to see those two DM 12"s... Behind the wheel is on my want list. Well produced video!
Hi Johnny! Thanks for watching! Yes I passed on the Kraftwerk for now. I’m sure I’ll add it in the near future! Putting this out into the universe: you will find Behind the Wheel 12” this year! ✌️😃
I love Hi-Voltage in Tacoma!
I also love Rainy Day, but I hardly ever make it down to Oly :(
Right on! Rainy Day is my #1 favorite store of all time, followed by Total Drag in Sioux Falls South Dakota. Hi-Voltage has some true gems, although their prices are all over the place! Rock on!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I visited to Sioux Falls once...it was about 20 years ago!
I know this isn't really the place you'd go record hunting, but I made a video about the SubPop store in Seattle (before the pandemic emptied the airport out!) ruclips.net/video/tUyPOPXtWng/видео.html
another great vid! you passed on the Dennis Wilson album? hope you have it it is an amazing lp. watching this lets me pretend im record shopping.
Thanks for the comment, Ron! I had to pass on that Dennis Wilson LP because it was $50. Just couldn't pull the trigger. I have more footage to show from my Portland, Oregon trip, too!
I hope you took that R stevie moore home. I like the Bardo Pond with the lofi production. no no no. put everything back and get the whole Mt eerie rack,,lol
What album do you recommend I start with from Mount Eerie?
The Omaha Introvert the last microphones LP mount eerie, then mt eerie- no flashlight , is his most song based, bunch after that are noise/ ambient feeling his last two are about the death of his wife, I was only able to listen to each of those once then sold, so know that going in. Saddest music I’ve ever heard. The Microphones- the glow, is more Neutral milk hotel sounding, I’m sure you prob have heard that tho. He lives up there somewhere, so it’s possible those are special editions
Thank you for the recommendations. I will definitely start with the Last Microphone and No Flashlight. I'll stay away from the more ambient ones. Peace.
Dom - Edge of Time on the wall at Mossy Bottom. I need that record in my life.
Mossy Bottom had a good selection of MANY genres...punk, indie, local, classic rock, jazz. It was fun going in there! Thanks for stopping by!
The Omaha Introvert That was the best looking place. Mark Lanegan on the wall as well. I also saw a grail a friend is looking for at Rainy Day and directed him to give them a call. Thanks for the footage!
Right on! These stores really appreciate the phone calls for orders at this time! And if you're ever in Olympia, Rainy Day and Mossy Bottom are within walking distance of each other. ;-)
I thought you were going to pick up The Revillos as you flicked through and shown the Rezillos Can't Stand in a previous video, they are spin off from. The Revillos feature the two vocalist, Rev Up is a great album
Thanks, Peter. I need to sample the Revillos. Definitely love the Rezillos! Rock on!
You missed the two best stores in Tacoma - House of Records and Golden Oldies. Golden Oldies is very small, but the prices are very low. House of Records looks small from the outside, it but is wall to wall records inside and the owner is a very nice guy. Both are on 6th AVe
Hi Ron! I went to Golden Oldies last fall when I was staying in Washington for several months. I think I bought Talk Talk Talk from the Psychedelic Furs there, but other than that I didn't have luck. Just didn't go there again on my trip in March. Haven't even heard about House of Records. Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks Hannah. Bufo Alvarius is Bardo Pond in the beginning. If you find Amanita, that is their best, one of my favorites of all time. Under The Pines is great. (What song plays over your trip to Quimper Sound?)
Hey JJ! Yeah, I need to find Amanita from BP! Under the Pines has to be one of my favorite albums released in 2017. "Reverie" from Quincas Moreira is the backing music playing to the Quimper footage. Glad you liked it! Take care, JJ.
Another artist that never released a bum album, Laura Nyro. Our Night Lustre Goddess.
Yeeeessss! I have a good start on her albums but I'd love to find a few more.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Every Laura album is essential. I also own that double CD compilation from 1998 or so, she worked on it before she passed away, amazingly. Also the posthumous albums and live albums are all great. I wish I had seen her here years ago at The Bottom Line, but I was too young to have known her then. She would
do week long residencies there.
God, that would have been quite the experience to see her live. Seriously.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Without a doubt, I heard she always delivered the goods. I only saw one show at The Bottom Line before it closed, which was John Wesley Harding (the British folk rocker) solo! This was already 1994 or so. I heard The Smithereens once played there and blew the entire PA system out!!
Wadup kid? Record stores huh. I'll sit back and remember what the outside world looked like before the apocalypse.... LOL ... Wow the Troggs, love them. I just scored another of their 45s... On that "THEM AGAIN" album I really love Van doing "Turn on Your Love Light". That's a great album Hannah... and then another Them album near the end of the video. Nice. I was surprised to see that Frumpy album at the end. Is that mostly psyche that album? The sign about the Trail said "No Smoking"? LMAO, ridiculously asinine. I'd be fishing that water. LOL .... Boy O Boy will you look at all those Volcano's on your flight home, they weren't mountains they were volcanos. Bo lives up there, no thank you mam. I never did understand people living in flood plains, fault lines, volcanoes or Detroit. I mean, you can always move. LOL
Hey Bobby! How's it going? This is pre-pandemic record digging. Hehe. What the world WAS like hehe. Hopefully we'll get back to it after a few months, but things will never be the same. I'd say the Frumpy is mostly hard rock. It's worth seeking. Man, they rocked! Oh yes, you are a huge Them/Van fan, so I'm glad you liked seeing those 2 rare-ish records I found! You have great taste, Bobby. Washington is a beautiful state. I just love it! Stay safe.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Stay safe yourself Hanna. It's killing young people too....
Yes. Healthy, young people are also at risk. Scary for everyone.
Dude, you came all the way out here to Seattle and didn't visit Sonic Boom or Easy Street Records? Easy Street is a great place to grab breakfast as well.
So, when I lived briefly out near Olympia area, we didn't drive in Seattle. We ended up taking a ferry and then would Uber to different record stores there. Those were just two we didn't hit up. It seems like one of those had weird hours or were closed on the days we visited. Didn't a bunch of stores in Seattle close permanently because of the pandemic?
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I think only Bop Street Records closed in 2020. We still have the ones I've already mentioned, as well as Silver Platters, Daybreak and Everyday Records. Many are still around. Easy Street is out in West Seattle across the bridge. which is a bit out of the way from downtown, but well worth the trip. They have a cafe that serves very good breakfast.
Hey Hanna, anyway you can let me know the titles/bands of the songs you played throughout the video? Really dug these, but I don't think I know them. I recently got an OG of Pale Saints Comforts of Madness, but would have been happy to wait for the reissue which would have been cheaper. Some great bargains on this trip. I've got a few Troggs albums lately, Great 60's stuff. I only knew Wild Thing and Love Is All Around before that. Nice to see Great Lake Swimmers. I have several cds of theirs. Haven't heard them in a while. Seeing you show The Byrds reminds me of some Beau Brummels albums I've picked up recently. Check them out if you haven't.
Hey Lou. The songs featured are ones I found on RUclips's audio library. I'd rather use music from my favorite bands, but many are blocked and have copyrights which doesn't allow for use in videos. For the Quimper footage, the song playing is "Reverie" by Quincas Moreira. "Wise" by Silent Partner is playing to Mossy Bottom footage. "Modern Situations" by Unicorn Heads is playing to the Rainy Day footage. "Laccent" by Freedom Trail Studio is playing to Drastic Plastic's footage. "Dusty Fingers" by DJ Williams is playing to the Hi-Voltage footage. "To the Sun and Back" by TrackTribe is playing to Rocket Records footage. "Marrionette" by Letter Box is playing to Bob's footage. I think I need to explore the Beau Brummels. I know Bo has a few of their albums, too. Can't wait to get more from Great Lake Swimmers. Wow, you got an OG of Comforts of Madness? That's pretty cool. Bet it wasn't cheap! Catch ya later!
I wanna visit this shop soon dear😊but I have to save my salary 1st coz I know my self when I come there 20 records to buy it will not be enough so 50 records it will relaxing my mind,coz I’m crazy of vinyls since 80’s
I'm also crazy for vinyl! 50 records at a time..I hear that! Hehe! Be well, Ray.
The Omaha Introvert so I’m not alone now 😂
Not at all! We’re all vinyl freaks here!
The Omaha Introvert just recently I brought vinyl records for Rihanna,it’s really cool especially the sound better than CD.
There's nothing like these stores left in NY, that much I can tell you, don't even bother doing a NYC record store trip. There are a few indie shops left here on L.I., but
they basically all suck. It's a very sad situation. It seems that the west coast still boasts some serious record shops.
Damn, I'm telling you Washington state still holds my #1 spot for record shopping. It's the Mecca to me! I'd love to go back. Sucks that NYC sucks for record shopping now. Hmm.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Hey there! Somehow I only ran into your channel last night. Well, it's ironic since NYC used to be one of the finest places on Earth to go record shopping, of course. Now it's a ghost of itself. LI was never great, although in the 70s and 80s we did have some decent shops. All of that is gone. NJ still boasts a few good stores, apparently, here and there. Also Philadelphia I believe, stll has a few good shops, but I haven't been there in years.
One of my fave old NYC shops was Second Coming Records on Sullivan St., it was a small but funky shop, mainly all vinyl and some CDs, almost nothing mainstream or obvious, I recall some big bald biker looking guy running it, and I used to love this super tall, 60s mod-looking blond chick that ran the front desk and register, she looked like Nico or whatever. So hot! She didn't even speak, just like rang you up and you could just admire her. Ha! the shop later got busted by the Feds for selling bootlegs! It made the NY Times and all that.
There was one store in Omaha that sold CD bootlegs. I scooped up a bunch from the Damned, Smashing Pumpkins, Runaways, and Television!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I have run into maybe one or two stores in the NY area the past 10 years that still sometimes have some bootlegs, but it's very rare nowadays here on the east coast. I used to have a huge collection of like R.E.M., Pink Floyd, even Cure bootlegs and stuff like that, in the 80s, and then I sold my orig. vinyl in 2005, alas, and all of that stuff is now gone. I used to also go to these regular record shows in LI and NYC for years, since 1982 or so, they still have those, but I haven't been in a few years now. You'll find stuff like that there for sure.
The Blasters on clearance sale? Oh that's so wrong!
I was thinking the same thing!
@@TheOmahaIntrovert That was a steal for sure.
Yo oma, how're you finding staying inside and stuff now, since all this lockdown stuff started. And yo have you heard anything by Janis Joplin, like I heard her today, and her voice is like....😍
Hi there! At first I was really struggling with staying inside so much. I make sure to get outside and get my Vitamin D and run every day if the weather allows. That keeps me sane, along with listening to my records. Luckily I have tons to listen to and keep me busy for now! Hope you are keeping occupied and not going stir crazy! I love Janis. I have a CD box set of hers as well as her full length albums on vinyl! Gotta love her! Stay healthy!
The Omaha Introvert thanks you too
Hey any chance you could react to Bob Dylan's new masterpiece 'Murder Most Foul'?
Stay safe
Mark
Thanks for watching, Mark. I hear it's quite the listen at 14 minutes.
Do you have some kind of idea what you want before going into a record store or do you go in open minded ? Great video.👍
Thank you! I usually go in open minded, but I also have a mental list of a few grails that I will loom for, too! 😀😀
The Omaha Introvert I have a list of what I’m interested in,because if I go into a record store or record fair and see lots of great records,my mind goes blank.
That's true, but part of the fun is just going with it and being totally surprised and unexpected by what you find. :-)
The Omaha Introvert I do that when I go into charity shops (thrift stores). When you go into record stores or record fairs there’s more choice and you can get a pretty good choice as you know. And you spend a lot more time looking.👍
I love looking through EVERYTHING! Hehe, especially when I'm at record fairs. :-) Can't miss anything!
I have a $40k question for you: what are your favorite headphones for A. bass, pleasure fun listening and B. more analytical, monitoring, or "detail/nuance" listening? I was just wondering. Mine currently are the Sennheiser Urbanite XLs, for sheer bass and rock fun, and my Hifiman HE400Is, for sheer detail and upscale listening. I also have some Fostex RP40s planars that are good, as well,
but more for monitoring type stuff.
Honestly, I'm not up to speed with new headphones as I've had the same Grado Labs SR60s for at least ten years. I need to upgrade but these have been a helluva pair.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I've heard Grados are really, really good. I almost got 'em but was worried they lacked bass, for some reason. I think they are a case of what amp you run them through, and how you EQ them, just as my Hifimans are like that, the bass picks up if you amp 'em right. None are really high-efficiency phones. The Sennheiser Urbanites I got are super high-efficiency, and the bass is brain-eating!
How much are the Sennheiser Urbanites? I'll need to upgrade soon. That is if I can stop buying vinyl for a month or two (haha!)
@@TheOmahaIntrovert Sorry for delay, I was busy out spending more money on guitar gear..haha! (what else?) I got the Senn Urbanite XLs refurbed for maybe $85 tops on eBay recently. They have the mini ones too, but my goodness I love them!
To me they sound like if Beats were actually not bloated-bass sounding, and NOT thin, they are balanced and warm sounding with a solid, deep, tight bass response. And that's not even EQ'd. But the bass isn't bloated or annoying. The pads and fit are super comfortable, no tightness, for me anyway, the only issue is, the pads sometimes come loose...I used some
electricians tape to keep 'em secured,
and that's working for me. Grados
are probably better for detail and
audiophile applications, but of course,
they are all-around great as well. My Hifimans lack that deep, tight bass,
but they are in another class in terms of soundstage, detail, and nuance but they need a good amp and aren't that
portable.
@@TheOmahaIntrovert I confess to not buying tons of music anymore, here and there, and I cannot afford the reissue or audiophile pressings that most vinyl seems to be at these days. I also don't have a better turntable right now. I still buy CDs here and there, and box sets on rare occasion. Mainly I'm sitting here with my guitars playing along to stuff online,
taking lessons, and studying of late. I still have a substantial CD collection but it's mostly crated up here for now. Nobody buys CDs here so I am keeping it!
Also,do you have a budget/limit going into a record store?
Usually I do, but this trip I had a lot of freedom to go a bit crazy. :-)
Stay safe and sound,
Ma'am!
I am certainly doing as such! Thanks for watching and thanks for your concern, Toney! You stay healthy and safe as well!
