Love the story of Gold Rush '79! I enjoy your channel because it's clear how sincerely you care about the music. Can't wait to dig into some more of your videos. Vinyl forever!
Thank you so much. 🤗♥️
All great choices! Monk’s dream is a gem I’ve just discovered
It's a very upbeat record. I love his piano playing. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Great stuff Melinda 👍
Thank you 😁! Have a great weekend.
I thought I was alone in my love of Chet Baker Sings, my rock friends all look at me strangely when I mention him. Then
I saw others made comments about it in their reviews to other ‘records I listen to’. He had a superb voice, all that
talent and one of the best trumpet players ever. When I listen to his music I can’t help but think of his tragic end.
BTW you look amazing and a welcome change to the other old guys doing such collections.
Thank you for the kind words 🤗♥️ Chet Baker was so talented. A lot of people in our vinyl community love him. He did have a tragic life. Thank you and have a great week.
Great highlight Melinda! Loved the story about your mom. Music is all about place and time, and the ability to transport you back. Love your channel, very down to earth and earnest. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗 I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
❤ I couldn't have said it better. Music takes me through wonderful memories. I really enjoyed your choices!
K-Tel records were an iconic part of 70's pop culture. I love that one of your top-played records is one of those records. Also, that Duran Duran cover features art from iconic 80's artist Patrick Nagel. It's a shame that he died so young. Beautiful art!
I agree. The Duran Duran album cover is iconic. ♥️ I love the K-tel records. They bring back such wonderful memories. Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphyI used to collect the K-Tel albums as a kid, the first one I ever got, "Rock 80" influenced & changed my musical taste as a 12 year old...it's got an amazing tracklisting still...it introduced me to some of my fave bands like the Ramones & Cheap Trick, Nick Lowe & more...it's full of powerpop, punk & new wave...your fave records are cool...at least no Van Halen ;) ;) ;) be well...
Can I just say that I love my vinyl copy of Yacht Rock!😂
Do you think there's a chance that K-tel albums from the '70's may ever get released on CD with the exact same number of tracks as the vinyl version of those exact same albums? Thank you!😀
Yea those compilation hits albums were some of the first records I ever had,maybe not K tell but similar, the first ones I had were Aussie comps Fantastic! and Explosive hits 74 they had some great Aussie bands like the La de das ( an excellent OZ blues rock band) Hush( great OZ glam rock) Matt Taylor (more OZ blues) Rick Springfield ( some bloke from OZ who used to be in theZoot,lol) Thorpie( Billy Thorpe ex Aztecs), as well as overseas artists like Free Elton John, zz top, Blue Suede(lol) Alvin stardust etc, I still love all tha70s music. Love Desire as well,but probably play new morning and blood on the tracks more.take it easy
Great top 10 list. Watched others and thelr titles/artists listed, I can’t relate. Yours is the first of these kinds of videos I watched til the end. Thank you.
K-Tel. Love it.
Wow! I'm honored. Thank you very much. Have a terrific weekend. ♥️🤗
I appreciate the stories you share behind these albums Melinda 😌 Like with Gold Rush 8 Track in your moms Pinto. Music has a profound impact on us and it's cool to hear the 'why' with each of your picks 😃👍
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🤗♥️ Have a wonderful weekend!
Love that Duran Duran record I need to get a hold of it and I knew the zombies would make it in the top 10 for sure I had both my parents and they were both wonderful but we had the same type of childhood I never went to a beach until I was grown we didn't know about Disneyland or any of that type stuff we just had a wonderful loving close family 7 of us and a great childhood thanks for sharing
@@RocknRonni I guess we don't really need all of those fancy things as kids. I also had a great childhood. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
Great sharing this. I think we all have some records that other people would laugh of. But growing older - others peoples oppinons are theirs. Not ours. Thats ok. Enjoy yout own diamonds and pearls. They are the carriers of our culture.
Sketches of Spain, Dusty in Memphis, and the revolver boxset have been on my turntable a lot this week. I just love the mood of Sketches of Spain so much. It’s a light a candle, drop the needle and watch the sun go down kind of album.
I agree. Sketches of Spain is a wonderful album. ♥️🤗 I love that Dusty record too. Have a great weekend!
Dusty in Memphis is a beautiful record and one of my favourites. 'I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore' is just such an amazing song. Lyricism at its absolute finest.
Melinda, Such a sweet commentary about your K-Tel 79 Gold Rush LP. Music carries so many personal memories for each of us. Thank You for letting us take a peak inside of your heart and why you enjoy this particular Top 10 Choice.
Thanks for listening! Have a wonderful weekend! ♥️🤗
Hi Melinda
You hit every heart string...❤
I have great memories....
Thanks for sharing.. needed to hear such a wonderful heartfelt story...❤
Aww! Thank you so much! 🤗♥️
That is what I admire about you Melinda, you are grounded and genuine. You went thru rough economic times growing up, but turned out alright.
We didn't have any money but I had a great childhood. ♥️ I am grateful. Thank you and take care.
Nice to see an honest, heartfelt review. A lot of VC show what they think should be shown.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much! 🤗♥️
Great selection of Chet Baker Sings among your top 10. He was a wonderful musician with a great voice. I can hear him sing every day.
I agree. I adore that record. 🤗♥️
Great stuff. Brothers In Arms is an amazing recording, all digital. It proves that recording, engineering, and mastering are the most important things in music reproduction. Sounds amazing on cassette, CD, SACD, and vinyl. Thanks again.
It does sound amazing. That was digital recording done right. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Great content!! Love it!!
Glad you enjoy it! Have a wonderful weekend! 🤗♥️
Great choices! Thanks!
Thank you! ♥️🤗 Have a great day.
Wonderful video (as usual, of course, lol) and excellent selections! You gave me some titles for my shopping list! Linda Ronstadt is always a top pick for me as well! 😊 😎🤘
She is amazing. Her music is timeless. Thank you and have a great weekend. 🤗♥️
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You are a great story-teller. When you reminisce about your childhood and the records that take you back, you take us along right there with you.
Wow! That's so sweet! ♥️ Thank you so much. 🤗
@@MelindaMurphy 🤗🤗🤗
When I was a little kid, my parents had a brown Pinto, and the smell of ether to get it started every morning. Crap car, great memories. I love the Rio album too with that iconic Patrick Nagel artwork. A bunch of those records are in my collection, that definitely don’t get ignored. Thanks, Melinda. I hadn’t thought about that Pinto in years. 🔊😊🎶
I'm glad I brought back some memories of a very dangerous car. Lol. ♥️🤗 Have a great weekend!
@@MelindaMurphy Haha 😂 Have a great weekend too, Melinda 🔊😊🎶
I have a K-tel album I love too from my childhood. Had KISS on it, and then a Disco version of the Star Wars theme (!!!), Diana Ross, Lipps Inc, etc.. .It’s a crazy selection of awesome radio hits
Wow! That would be a great record to have. Now I have to go listen to the disco version of Star Wars. 😃 Thank you and take care.
Enjoyed your part of this thread. I’m glad to see Linda Ronstadt made your list. Dire Strait’s Brothers in Arms is such a fantastic album. When friends want to hear my stereo I put that album on. Well done.
Brothers In Arms is an experience. ♥️🤗 So good. Thank you so much. Have a great weekend!
Your story about never being able to go back to that Red Pinto with your Mom made me actually cry as it was SOOO bittersweet and your quiet emotions said SO much. I was truly touched, and for what it's worth, I will honestly NEVER forget your story --- truly.
In reference to your story, below is one of my favorite quotes that always echoes inside me when I think about memories of my own Mom and others I've loved & lost in this lifetime & it goes:
" You Know That Place Between Asleep and Awake, the Place Where You Can still Remember Dreaming?? --- That's Where I'll Always Love You --- That's Where I'll Be Waiting ".
I LOVE that quote --- and I am sure that your Mom is in THAT place loving you as much as ever and is always there waiting for you with a BIG smile in that Red Pinto and with GoldRush 79 Volume One blasting on the 8 track :) --- Thank you SO much again for sharing your touching story and may God Bless you & yours always !!
Beautiful quote! Thank you for sharing. ♥️
We all spend money on the things we think are important but the times I cherish the most are the mundane ones. Something simple like riding in the car with my mom means more than any trip to the beach. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
I really love your videos. You are an important voice in The world of the vinyl community.
Wow, thank you!! I really appreciate it. 🤗♥️
Another lovely video.
Thank you so much! 🤗♥️
Hey Melinda , love your channel ! Really enjoyed this episode and the story about the red Pinto and the 8-track ! Hot Child in the City is one of my favorite songs ! Got it on a 45 !
Thanks so much! Music can bring back so many memories. ♥️🤗 Have a wonderful week!
I looooooooooove GOLD RUSH '79!! (And I love why it's so special to you!)
Thank you! ♥️🤗
I had always heard that The Zombies "Odessey & Oracle" is an album that one should definitely have in their record collection. Having never heard it (except for Time of the season) i recently came across a brand new reissue from Varese Sarabande Records (2015) i purchased for only $15. I went home and put it on my turntable and have not taken it off for 2 months now. I absolutely love it! I can see why it is one of your most listened to records . And as a bonus i just bought tickets to see the Zombies live as they will be touring North America this fall.
That's awesome! It's such a beautiful record. It's a 60's masterpiece. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Zombies kill it! Great, fantastic band with unique style, no other band can do there sound!
I must be a dinosaur, saw them live ‘back in the day’. Might I also suggest you give a listen to Colin Blunstone’s first
album ‘One Year’ released on the Epic label in 1971. The track Misty Roses is just perfect for his voice.
Hey Melinda, such a wonderfully personal video. Our favourite albums evoke unique memories that only we hold personally. ❤
Your story about "Gold Rush '79" is so bittersweet. The songs on that LP are tied to your experiences with your dear Mum and her red Pinto, which was clearly a significant happy place for you. 😊 Those songs on that cartridge are permanently etched in your DNA. I could see on your face what those moments mean to you. ❤❤ Funny you mentioned the Baby's as I recently bought 2 used Babys LP's including "Broken Heart" which features "Isn't It Time". I know what you mean about John Waite's voice in that moment. 😊 Some other nice choices. The Zombies album was an obvious one though I'm surprised that your Harry Styles or a Gil Evans didn't make the cut.
In my humble opinion, some of your best videos are when you speak from the heart. I suspect that ironically, maybe they're also maybe your most difficult to make in a way? Does that sound accurate? In any case your beautiful smile pushes through because ultimately the music ties all those wonderful times together. Speaking from experience I can relate to this. Music is The Doctor. 😊😊 As always love your work. Take care Melinda. Cheers ❤❤😊😊
Thank you for the kind words. Some memories can be hard to talk about and I run the risk of "over sharing." 🤗 Those songs do mean a lot to me and take me back to those special times growing up. ♥️ Music is the doctor. Thank you and take care.
Great video again. Very personal and insightful. P.S. I literally was listening to my US original pressing of The Rolling Stones 'Majesties...' the same day you put😊😊😊 this video out and I too really like it. Who cares what the critics, hard core fans and Stones themselves think of it, hey! It's adventurous, eclectic, interesting, kooky, dark and light, plus sounds good too!😊
I love that Rolling Stones record. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Wonderful video,my favourite one of this thread so far.
Your words with ref to your childhood etc... and then your mother,were heart warming.
I know from watching other videos of yours that you're a Van Halen fan,so i was kind of expecting to see one of their LPs .
If there is one thing I've picked ip from this thread,then it's expect the unexpected 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the amazing compliment. ♥️ I really appreciate it.
I do listen to VH often but I decided to showcase records that get just as much airplay but aren't in the spotlight as much. Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend. ♥️🤗
Really enjoy these videos! Your sense of humor is terrific!
Thanks so much!🤗♥️
Terrific video,great memory jogger for me.Good luck please keep videos coming.
Thanks, will do! 🤗♥️
Very powerful recounting of time with your Mom in the Red Pinto. Such a blessing that music can keep memories vivid. Thanks for sharing.
I agree. Music is a tremendous blessing. It's so enjoyable in so many ways. ♥️🤗 Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.
i don't think i've ever listened to one of the albums more than once but it's fantastic you have this appreciation of music. Enjoyed the list and your presentation. thank you for the listening ideas.
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗 Take care.
Nice selection Melinda. Yeah that Zombies is always a fun listen. 😎
It's a wonderful record. Thank you Mazzy. Have a great weekend! 🤗♥️
Happy friday. Cheers and everyone. I welcome this weekend. Looking forward to some records tomorrow night.
I hope you have a terrific weekend! Thank you and take care.
I just got that Blue Note Chet Baker Sings and it sounds sooooo clean and crisp! Thanks for sharing your favorite records and drawing attention to that fact that vinyl collecting is not just about what sounds best or is the most sought after record but it's also largely about nostalgia. A few of my favorites are very nice sounding reissues of 90s albums I listened to in Junior High/HS including Little Earthquakes, Core, Absolute Torch and Twang (original 89 pressing), Formica Blues. Of course it's hard to pick a favorite but those are a few I play more often.
That Chet Baker record is excellent. I'm glad to have my older pressing and now the Tone Poet. ♥️
Sometimes I am in a nostalgic mood and I love putting on records that remind me of a time in my past. I fondly remember my childhood and the music just takes me back. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
My favorite Linda Ronstadt, Zombies, & Chet Baker LPs. Cool. Ass. List. 😎
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Have a great week! 😃
Great video love the story of the k-tel CLICK 8-track 😂
Thank you Harry! I still hear it in my head every time I hear that song. ♥️🤗
Love the list! Envious of the Mobile Fidelity Stardust. Sooooo good.
Thank you! The MoFi versions are still in stock at Music Direct (I think). 🤗♥️ It's a wonderful record. Thank you and take care.
Save a prayer is my favorite Duran Duran song!
I love it too. Thank you!
Crank up “Come Undone” and then tell me it’s not the best Duran Duran song.
I dare ya……
The Chauffeur is my favorite
"Lonely in Your Nightmare" is my favorite Duran Duran song. RIO is such a cool album, and 'Lonely' is a beautiful, overlooked track.
...and The Zombies album is just Fantastic!
@@zeprlsI did and it isn't...
I really enjoyed your entertaining video list. Some cool picks. The more I think about it, I'd need to do a top 20 😊,
Thank you! This was a fun video to make. ♥️🤗 Have a great weekend.
Great list. Very nice to hear your memories of your mom with music. I also have childhood memories listening to music with my parents.
With my dad it was with a lot of Cassettes in my dad's car (he died more than 20 years ago, we are old now). I remember he had two shoe boxes full of cassettes under the driver's seat, many white shell and some 8-Track cartridges, with albums from The Rolling Stones ("Sticky Fingers", "Let It Bleed", "Hot Rocks"), Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Santana, KISS, ZZ Top, Rainbow, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, James Brown, and some other Classic Rock stuff like that.
With my mom it was with Vinyls, CDs, Videos and VHS movies of bands and concerts like Woodstock 1969 and 1994, Monterey Pop Festival, Live Aids, The Wall (Pink Floyd), The Song Remains The Same (Led Zeppelin), Tommy and Quadrophenia (The Who), Casey Kasem's Rock n' Roll Goldmine series, etc, and a lot of The Beatles. Also with her I used to listen to Fleetwood Mac, Heart, The Mamas & the Papas, ABBA, The Monkees, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Queen, Bee Gees, The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Rush, Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Frank Zappa, CSN&Y, David Bowie, Iggy Pop / The Stooges, The Velvet Underground / Lou Reed, T.Rex, War, Kool & The Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, Neil Diamond, Dire Straits, Supertramp, Journey, Carole King, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, MC5, early Ramones, The Clash, Blondie, Patti Smith, Talking Heads and The Cars.
Wow! Both of your parents had excellent taste in music! The Casey Kasem series would be amazing to have. ♥️ Thank you and enjoy your weekend.
I agree and you have such a pleasant voice and presentation. You have a wonderful collection. I hope you have someone who loves it as much as you to leave it to.
Thank you for the sweet words. ♥️🤗 My daughter likes vinyl too and will probably keep some of my records. Thank you and take care.
These are great, thanks. I so appreciated your story of your mom and the memories of Gold Rush 79. Music and memories. Sweet. (And Rafferty's 'Right On Down the Line' is fantastic!)
Thank you! Right Down the Line is a beautiful 70's classic. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
1. Rare Earth Get Ready
I will never get tired of listening to this title especially the 22-minute version.
2. Joe cocker sheffield steel.
3. Eagles the long run.
4. Pink floyd wish you were here.
5. Jetro thull aqualung.
6. Supertramp Crisis? what crisis?
7. Eric clapton just one night.
8. Fleetwood mac rumours.
9. Crosby stills nash & young déjà vu.
10. The Beatles 1962-1966.
Of course there are others and it's very difficult to choose 10 albums that we like to listen to often but I would say that almost 60% of the records I prefer to listen to and listen to several times.
That's a great list. I love that The Long Run is included. ♥️🔥 Thank you and have a great weekend.
I enjoyed the personal connection you have with the Gold Rush 79 so much that I will be on the lookout for my own copy.
It holds a great memory for me. 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.
Brothers in Arms, nice album. The quality in sound is amazing. Saw them in concert in 1986 and 1991. Great songs on that album. So far away and ride across the river, 2 great songs.
Agree. Great music and incredible sound quality. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
These videos are always always educational and entertaining Thank You
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. 🤗♥️ Enjoy your weekend!
@@MelindaMurphy you too and K-tel funny as they are made the big companies mad cause K-tell was making money on has been artists that the big ones no longer wanted.

@@MelindaMurphy Thanks a lot Melinda. I appreciate your reaction and please give the Gong album some of your precious time you will not regret it. I wish you too a great week with loads of good music.
Great records Melinda. I've been getting into Thelonious Monk a bit lately. There's great songs on that Gold Rush 79 too. and it's great it takes you back to good driving times with your Mom too.
I enjoy the music and the memories. ♥️ Thank you and enjoy your weekend!
First time viewer here Melinda. Loved your video, both style and content!
The story of your childhood, your mon, the red Pinto . . . . yes, music really brings us back in time where we can really FEEL the music. I too have so many early memories that involve music. It's a great feeling when you hear a song and can remember back to exactly where you were, or the first time you heard a song, or can recall your age or where you lived, etc.. Music helps us connect to our past and can bring us great joy, even when those times were not joyful, but the music helped us get through!
You said it perfectly. I listen with my heart most of the time. ♥️ I spent a lot of time with my mom in the car doing the mundane things in life. So many songs remind me of the advice, conversations, and fun we had together. I treasure that now and I'm so grateful to have that musical connection. Thank you so much for saying hello. Take care.
People usually see lists and their first thought is to disagree and to share their own. I usually see lists as a reflection of one’s feelings, taste. Great picks. I’ll have to pull out my Monk one step from the shelf tonight. Btw, I’m in a jazz channel, but I love early electronic and 80s hip hop. It’s all about the music. Loved the video.
Hope you liked the new classic releases announced
I still need to see what the new releases are. I'm sure they are good. This series has been spectacular. Thank you and take care.
Those were wonderful honest and very interesting and eclectic choices
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗
Duran Duran Rio would be on my list too. Hold Back the Rain and Last Chance On the Stairway are my favorites. I like every song on this album. 😊
I hope you find that 8 track.
Here's a few of my picks:
1. Cat Stevens- Teaser and the Firecat
2. Elton John debut 1969
3. Sting Dream Of the Blue Turtles
4. Bruce Hornsby and the Range- The Way It Is
5. John Denver Rocky Mountain High Collection CD box set
6. B- 52s Wild Planet ( need some party music)
7. Duran Duran Rio
8. Beatles Rubber Soul
9. Paul Simon Graceland
10. Tom Petty Full Moon Fever.
Beautiful list! I love that Sting made your top 10. ♥️ Thank you and enjoy your weekend.
Nice selection of titles. Enjoyed the stories.
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗

Gaucho, Steely Dan
Lovely Day, Bill Withers

Tell your husband it's mine too. I have the gold vinyl reissue. First had it on CD when it was first released. Grover Washington.❤
I was in tears listening to you describe what Gold Rush 79 means to you. And I love that Baby's song too
Awww! Thank you! Those memories mean so much to me. ♥️ Have a wonderful weekend.
Great review will look to pickup the Willie Nelson Stardust. Curious about the colored record tabs in the background Lol Thank You
Stardust is definitely one to own. The MoFi version is fantastic. The colored tabs are my MoFi record spines. 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.
Melinda, no need to apologize for owning and loving a K-tel record. I just went on a K-tel binge on Discogs, picking up a dozen or so K-tel records from *the 80's* that I had on cassette as a kid! So many memories attached to those tapes and songs. Take care.
They do hold great memories. I hope you enjoy your new purchases. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Just want to say thank you for the memories me &my sister would be talking about music all the time she's gone now 20 years now but don't feel bad keep up the good work I like getting inspired by your channel.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister. Thank you for the kind words. Have a great weekend. 🤗♥️
Red Pinto? My mother had a Red Ford Pinto with black interior which we used to get around in! She loved that little Buggy. What we found out later is the car had a gas tank flaw. A lot of them would explode on impact. We were lucky that we had no clue or didn’t care at the time. Isn’t that crazy? I’m glad you survived, too!
Ah, memories.
Our interior was black as well and wow, didn't it get hot in the summer. Lol. 🔥
We were never in a wreck either and I remember that car fondly. Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy It was a fun car to ride around in. Wasn’t it? Low to the ground and it zipped around. It actually wasn’t that safe looking back on it now. We could have easily been crushed or flipped over. But we were carefree for some strange reason and didn’t think about the hazards.
I remember she drove me to Madison Wisconsin to see the Capital building for the first time. It’s about a 100 miles west. That car was reliable overall from what I remember. She loved that car because it was freedom. We used it up over 5 years driving every where back then.
Telling people now you owned a Ford Pinto is like telling them you owned an AMC piece of junk. People laugh!
you show great and varied taste melinda, love n peace...................jpj
Thank you so much! 🤗♥️
Great picks! I need that Chet Baker and loved Linda Ronstadt when I was a teenager.
Get the Chet Baker while it's in stock. You won't regret it. Thank you and enjoy your weekend. 🤗♥️
Great video Melinda! The K-Tel albums bring back so many great memories. When ever I hear " Baker Street" it brings back childhood memories. I love Duran Duran and Rio is an awesome album. I also love The Zombies. I am a big 60's and 70's fan, along with my 80's Glam Metal haha. Dire Straits great band too! Love The Stones! Have a great weekend! Love your channel! 😃
Thank you! When I hear Baker Street, It literally feels like I'm going back in time. ♥️🤗 Have a great weekend!
@@MelindaMurphy Love the sax! Thank you!
Nice video, no need to apologize about the Gold Rush 79 album, I wish I still had my KTel and Ronco hits albums from when I was a kid, I played those all the time. Thanks for the Monk one also, been looking for a place to start with him. Cheers
That's a great place to start for Thelonious Monk. ♥️ I no longer have my K-tel records from childhood. I had to rebuy them. Lol. Thank you and take care.
I chose Street Legal as my Bob record but Desire was the other one I considered. I think Desire was the first Dylan record I really got into. I also have a memory of backpacking in Greece in 1981 and there was a bar that had Hurricane on the jukebox. The song, being a long one, was split in 2 (Side A and B). We’d play that single over and over at Jonas’ Electric Bar which was the inspiration for the name of my channel. Thanks for sharing your top 10!
I have that 45 of The Hurricane.😃 Lol. What a great album. You have a wonderful experience to tie it to as well. ♥️🤗 Thank you!
Awesome video great idea
Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend!
great lps 10/10 all of them! would you consider doing a video of your collection? ( how you have it organized etc ) im always curious of the lps over your right shoulder on top. cheers!
I will definitely give it some thought. If I can figure out a good way to do it, I will. ♥️🤗 Thank you and have a great weekend.
I have several K-Tel's albums I think they're great! My top 10 - Jouney - Escape, AC/DC - Back in Black, Boston, Blues Brothers- Suit Case Full of Blues, The Romantics- In Heat, Peter Frampton - Live, Dire Straights - Brother in Arms, Fleetwood Mac - Greatest Hits, Greta Van Fleet - Battle at Gardens Gate, and another Greta Van Fleet - Starcatcher. Its hard picking just 10 like you said its more like 25 or 30 in regular rotation. If you haven't listened to Greta Van Fleet before you definitely have to check them out. They have an old school 70s sound. Very talented musicians. Thanks Melinda, great video!
You are great Melinda! Love your channel! I play Moody Blues a lot and other classic rock mostly. Keep doing what your doing, am a fan. Let us know how your stereo system is doing , I know you upgraded a year or so ago.
The stereo system is great. I am possibly considering upgrading my speakers but no decision has been made yet. 🤗♥️
Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Take care.
Loved the red Pinto story, and the 8-track memory too. I remember battling with my 8-track player in MY Pinto, LOL, yes I had a Pinto in the 70's, lots of Pinto jokes out there.😆
I remember thinking our Pinto was cool. ♥️🤗 Thank you and have a great week!
Thank you for sharing your top listened to albums, such a lovely variety. The harder rock albums didn’t make an appearance here but I know your love of Kiss is real! It would be fun to hear your top 10 covers you enjoy displaying from your collection - even though you hide some of your records I am sure that there are some that you can’t help displaying.
I have a few framed. I have a signed copy of Odyssey and Oracle by The Zombies and I have an old copy of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan just because I love the cover so much! Thank you and take care.
You got an amazing record collection Melissa, and a groovy channel! And yes you got yourself a new subscriber 😃! Can i give you a compliment?? You have such beautiful hair 😍
Thank you so much for all of the kind words. I really appreciate it. Take care. ♥️🤗
I have Linda ,Willie and Dire Straights!!!! Great video
Great choices! Thank you! 😃
Hi Melinda, there are some fantastic tracks on that Gold Rush album, and probably the P8 can only do so much with a compilation album! Gilder, Rafferty, Blondie, Dr Hook and so on. Another good video Melinda! Cheers
It sounds decent for a K-tel record and the songs are terrific. Thank you and take care.
Hi 👋 Melinda. I like music from the 1970s. I was in my teens then. Like you i liked that Baby's song Every time i think of You from 1979 . It's one of my favorites of the 1970s.
It's a great song. I still like listening to it loud. 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy There is a quality video of the performing the song on RUclips. I like listening to it still. I have a cd of the Baby's hits.
Sweet story about the K-Tel Record ; no need to be the least bit embarrassed. Rock on !!
Thank you so much! ♥️🤗
I have so many top ten favorites in Jazz, Rock, R & B, Country and Pop. I don’t think I could ever pick out just ten. Nothing wrong with that K-Tel album of your either! I have many of them! K-Tel was the “Now That’s What I Call Music” back in the day! At the beginning of this video, I thought to myself, she’s going to show that Odessey & Oracle album by the Zombies. Sure enough, I was correct! Then again, I was expecting to see Van Halen, which you did not pick. Regardless, enjoy your favorites, and I’ll enjoy mine. The joy of music! A fun video Melinda, and fun to watch! 😁👏
Odyssey and Oracle is my favorite album of all time. I had to pick that one. ♥️ Everyone knows I play a lot of Van Halen. I didn't want to be too predictable. Thank you and enjoy your weekend.
fine selection, my top 10 : danger danger s/t, the storm s/t, tyketto don't come easy,
silent rage rebel with, dokken under lock, voodoo x the awakenig, Bon Jovi slippery,
fair warning 4, keel lay down the law, journey raised on Radio 😊👍
Great list. I'm glad to see Dokken on it! ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
saw them with John norum,
also get a guitar pick 👍
Did NOT expect Melinda to be a Rio Lady. Great record. A definite classic. I remember I borrowed my buddy's white cassette of it. Weird because most cassettes back then were black. Never gave that cassette back. Sorry, Tommy. 😂
Great picks. That tracklisting on Gold Rush '79 is, as they say, "Gold!"
Enjoyed! Looking forward to joining the Top 10 Records video ranks! 😁
Letting someone borrow your cassette was the kiss of death back then. Lol. Thank you for the kind words. I will consider your suggestion. ♥️🤗 Have a great weekend!
Thanks Melinda for your favorite albums that you play the most I know some is easy and some is hard I can tell you take your time with your top 10 list of albums you love the most the 2 I love out of this list is chet baker album great artist and the jazz legend thelonious monk monk's dream that's my favorite jazz album of all time I play that album on RUclips I got to get that album on vinyl and cd myself this is amazing Melinda have a blessed Friday weekend keep the great videos going vinyl records forever always
Thank you so much! I do enjoy Chet Baker and Thelonious Monk. They were jazz legends. Have a wonderful weekend.
Great video. Of all the top ten lists I've viewed recently my tastes come closest in agreement to yours, although over the years I think my list would tend to change. The Desire album I took in the late 70's to a Sunday night coffee house that was held at a religious sisters convent near where I was going to school at the time. That album was well loved and I lent it to the use of Sister Peggy. Gives me fond memories of those days.
That's what music can do - bring back wonderful memories. 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.
I don’t know why people hate so much on compilations, I love making playlists of songs from periods in time that take me back to older (better?) times! Love your stories & choices even if they’re not always my taste 👅🤷♀️😉😊
Thank you for the kind words. I agree, it's great to have a compilation album filled with great music. ♥️ Take care.
I appreciate you telling us the story of why you love the Gold Rush album. Keep it close to your heart.
Thank you! Will do. ♥️
Thanks for the recommendations Melinda! I really enjoyed your stories to go with songs it really brought me to the place you are coming from. I was a 70s child so I remember listening to all that music. You are a rare woman that is into vinyl . I wonder if your husband is an audio enthusiast . It's usually the man that has the vintage stereo equipment. I designed some old school style hardwood floor standing speakers that look like furniture grade high end 70s speakers . Thank you beautiful Lady
Thank you for the kind words. ♥️ My husband has zero interest in any of this. Lol. He's more of a movie guy and has built a beautiful home theater in our home. Have a wonderful weekend. ♥️🤗
@MelindaMurphy Thank you very much and I ended listening to alot of the songs you recommended. You have good weekend yourself.
Great video Melinda . FYI the Peter Frampton vinyl box hit my turntable this weekend and it’s tremendous. Limited to 2500 so I had to grab it. Intervention Records is the benchmark for vinyl quality.
I agree! Intervention is a great label. I buy from them with complete confidence. I'm glad you are happy with your Peter Frampton box set. Thank you and take care.
Melinda, you should never apologise for showing a K-Tel release on your videos.
Collecting records isn't just about the sound quality of the vinyl, the aesthetics of the sleeve, the feeling of holding a record in your hand. A big part of collecting records for me is the memories that they can evoke. You clearly have good memories of your mum and your childhood through the lens of Gold Rush 79 and it shines through in your video. Thank you for putting that in there.
I, too, did something similar in one of my very early attempts at a vinyl video during the 2020 lockdown. I hope you don't mind, but I will leave a link here for anyone who may want to watch. Skip to the 16 minute mark to see my favourite record from my entire collection (and my lockdown hair!). And it certainly isn't my favourite record for the music!

Appreciate the K Tel story!
Agree with the Stones lp. Sounds great and always fun to search for the Beatles in the 3D cover.
If you ever come across any lps by Be Bop Deluxe Camel or City Boy i think they may make this list🤔 or top 20!
Oh and great you mentioning the Zombies!
I definitely need to check out Camel. ♥️🤗 Thank you for the kind words. Have a great weekend!
I think my favorite here is the K-Tel. I've never heard it but I appreciate the nostalgia and its value for you. Great list!
Thank you! It's nostalgic and I do enjoy the songs. Take care.
That's a great list, and thinking that way always makes me appreciate my favorites too! I've got a K-Tel as well that we had as an 8-track back then, but ours was "Sundown". It has "All the gold in California", and "Devil went down to Georgia" uncensored with the S.O.B. line that I really got a kick out of when I was 6. My favorite music comes from back then, even though I don't remember much of it from that time. I just don't think the good stuff made it onto the radio in my small town, you know? We didn't even figure out how to get channel 18 (MTV) on the TV until mid-1985 if I remember correctly, as it only had buttons for 2-13 on the front. Anyway, sometime between when disco died and shoulder pads took over, Falco made "Junge Roemer" and I play it all the time now.
It sounds like you had a southern rock compilation. ♥️🤗 We never had cable so I never had MTV. How crazy is that? We discovered FM radio once I got into middle school. That's where the cool music was. Thank you and enjoy your weekend.
Nice top 10! Question….. do you have a streamer and if so, how does it compare sound wise to vinyl? I ordered an Eversolo streamer and will be using it with one of the high rez services. I’m hoping it will provide the same sound quality I get from vinyl (not replace vinyl) so I can enjoy some albums without paying some of the higher prices for good pressings are hard to find albums.
I have Amazon music. The music sounds ok but not as good as most of my vinyl records. Thank you and take care.
I want to cogratulate you on your excellent presentation. I enjoyed your relaxed stle of presenting. You are very clear in your presentation and you speak with confidence. I didn't have to backtrack and figure out, "Now what did the person say?"Don't feel ashamed about the Ktel record. A good record is a good record. And 'Heart of Glass' was a great song as well as the other songs. I remember them well. It was a great time for radio. And I'm old enough, I'm afraid, to remember those Pintoes. The Willie Nelson album was my best college friend's favorite. He used to play it when we went off campus in his car. I have or had the Linda Ronstadt album. I recently gave it to my 24-25 year-old niece. I nearly dropped to the floor when you pulled out Odessey and Oracle from the Zombies, one of my favorie groups behind The Beatles. I don't have it and must get it. I only have their Greatest Hits or whatever it is called. The only Mobile Fidelity record I have is of the Beatles's Abbey Road. I got it brand new and only played it a few times and recorded onto cassette so I wouldn't wear it down. I only had so much time and so much money in college and graduate school. Ineed to get back to listening more if I can. I'm the kind of person who likes to sit down and do nothing but give my full-devoted attention to the music when I'm listening, so it can be hard to work in the time.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad to hear from someone that remembers the Ford Pinto and these terrific albums. ♥️ I have a soft spot for 70's rock radio.
I love sitting down and giving my full attention to my records as well. I do play my more common records when I'm cleaning the house and things like that. Thank you and enjoy your weekend.
I also had "Brothers In Arms" on cassette when I was a teenager. I now have the remastered issue CD. I have alot of good memories of alot of songs while in the car with my parents my mom mostly. No Van Halen in your top 10 ?
I listen to Van Halen often but everyone already knows that. Lol. I wanted to show records I listen to just as often that would be a surprise. Thank you and take care.
That's what music is about memories and escapism great video Melinda
Thank you so much! ♥️♥️
Great 10 M. 3 of them I expected, 2 were like....I had NO IDEA lol!
Thank you! I didn't want to be too predictable. I picked one I listen too often but rarely show on my channel. Have a great week!
Hey Melinda, You picked some really good ones ! I totally get why you picked the K-Tel album,such great memories for you. "Desire" is my very favorite Dylan album(Black Diamond Bay,that violin of Scarlett Rivera !). "Heart Like A Wheel is my favorite Linda Ronstadt album,I love "Satanic Majesty's Request" the songs are so dreamy/cosmic ! The Zombies are part of my teenage years,love them ! have a great weekend ! Cindy
Thank you so much! Heart Like A Wheel is amazing too. ♥️ The violin on the Desire album is wonderful. Thank you and take care.
YUSSS! Justice for Satanic Majesties Request! 🙌🏽 My favorite Stones album! I'm thrilled it's finally getting the attention it deserves!
It's awesome! ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Hey uptown girl! Yeah, those are some great titles. And yes, I have several of the Duran Duran albums and they are great. Of course I love dire straits! I’m like your husband haven’t been able to get into Bob Dylan except for his songwriting! If you love Linda Ronstadt, you have to check out Karla Boniff! She actually wrote many of Linda Ronstadt’s biggest hits! I have all of her albums, and they are heavenly! Great video, Melinda🎉
Agree re Karla Bonoff ! Her first Self Titled is just fantastic , a very worn cover when it came into my possession, I can see why .
@@m.j.l.abulle9107 Wild Heart of the young is still such a favorite! I think what I like so much about her music is she is very strong, but shows her weakness as well, which makes her very appealing! None of that modern girl empowerment crap! She is feminine and at times innocent and that’s what is missing definitely in the dating pool These days!
I'm familiar with the Karla Boniff song "Personally." I have an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 box set with that song on it. ♥️🤗 Good eye on noticing the Uptown Girl shirt. Thank you and have a great weekend.
@@MelindaMurphy another artist, you should check out is Lani Hall! She’s married to Herb Alpert! She was the singer for Brazil 66 and then went on to a solo career! She has some great albums, but my favorite one is called Blush! You would love it 🥰
Interesting comments , thankyou . Some more to research now , will start with Y T then home in to find the vinyl where possible .
