I'm a regular customer at Vinyl Experience. Phil's a great guy. I refurbished all the 8-tracks he's selling in that store. There's another pretty good shop that recently opened up in Winkler which is also worth checking out.
Very cool. I had no idea Winkler has a record store... I've never been to that part of the province. I'll have to go one of these days. Is that where the drive in theatre is as well?
Another WINNER here Frank. I Love Black Vinyl better myself but I actually like some records with color like they make them these days but overall black vinyl is my favorite color for records. Thanks for making my Friday Night even better than what it was & that record store Vinyl Experience is Awesome. I really Love the entrance. It is so cool. Another killer video ( as always ) & I can't wait to see your next video on Sunday Night. You take care & I'll Keep on Spinning Frank. 👍🏻🪙👍🏻
Absolutely... I love it as well. A couple new record stores have opened in town over the past couple of months. I look forward to checking them out for the same reason.
Hi Frank. Awesome CSNY album have to get myself of course I like what I hear of it online. YES have the album CD got for $2 at record store of some special discounts for the few days certain CDS were on sale. Use to have Fragile on vinyl back at the time. WAR yes well aware of them growing up and noticing them. Have a greatest hits cassette I think. And they worked with Eric Burdon at one point for few albums, Eric Burdon and War. Saw a line up of War one year for a 4th of July holiday in town for free. Late 90s or something captured pictures of them with camera then. TC
I noticed the new Live CSNY featured behind you to the top left of your vinyl shelves and was wondering if/when you'd discuss / feature it. Thanks for doing so today. Their Déja Vu album is largely responsible for expanding my horizons beyond the trappings of my 80s metal high school years and it remains a "desert island disc". I look forward to eventually picking up this new live release. Cheers!
Hey Frank, I'd watch Friday Night Vinyl for the intro alone! Appreciated the reviews of those albums. Yes, Roundabout, Close to the Edge, Fragile and Relayer were already on my wish list. Now the CSNY and War album are too! Have a great weekend and "keep on spinnin"
$35 for that Pioneer?!? Great score. Cool store. I would love to go record shopping in Canada and get out of the U.S. for a while.... say, like for 4 years :)
Ok Frank. I have to add a new "honorable mention." TOP 5 ST "Romeo and Juliet" (1968) ST "Oliver Twist" (1968) ST "Saturday Night Fever" (1977) "Disco Mickey Mouse" (1979) , and "Cats" (1983) . And 3 HONORABLE MENTIONS that didn't quite make the list. "Men of the Mall" (1959) , JUDY COLLINS "Recollections" (1972) , and ST "Arthur" (1981) . Well, don't underestimate the small. I used to rely partially on a small store in a strip mall that sold CDs. 📀
I keep thinking of my friend Larry, who moved from L.A. county to Sturgeon Falls, Ont. for high school-- "All these signs say 'Chinese & Canadian food' but where's the Mexican food?" Your new additions are tops, Frank. I have a 5.1 surround of Yes *Fragile* (mixed by Tim Wiedner) which is quite cool & I know Rhino have the quadriphonic version of *The World is a Ghetto* but I haven't heard it.
Yes, good (real) Mexican food is really lacking around here.... time for me to think about another trip down south soon... Thanks for the heads up about the quad version of The World is a Ghetto. Frank
1:35 Hey, Frank. That's a cool record store for sure and I noticed on the righthand side of the screen that there is a 'The Music of Cleopatra on the Nile' record for sale. I have that record already and even though it has an image of Elizabeth Taylor from 20th Century Fox's 'Cleopatra' (1963) which is an epic movie well worth seeing (also starring Richard Taylor, Roddy McDowall, Martin Landau, and London, Ontario's very own Hume Cronyn), that is not a soundtrack or score at all; not even an homage to the movie. It is in fact, an album featuring a really great Egyptian or Middle Eastern instrumental band from the 1950s with a lot of cool, exotic music with lively tempos and even some "mysterious" tracks here and there. So, if that is cheap enough, it's worth scooping up (Check out tracks online) and in any case, it's quite collectable for fans of exotica or world music. I just thought I'd mention it. :)
I’ve been meaning to pick up that Ziggy Stardust record too! Lately I’ve been grabbing it, finding another album, and then putting it back. Lol I’ll get it eventually lol
Coll record shop Frank... but you got me thinking about your recent golden rules of buying vinyl. I have a rule that applies to second hand records, like the Sabbath album you found in the bargain bin. They say never judge a book by its cover... but I do with every second hand album. If the sleeve is battered, it tends to mean that the record is not going to be in great condition as well. In fact sometimes, after looking at the cover.....I never check the record because it will be in the say condition. Have a great weekend Frank !!!!
The Yes Fragile album is my fave album by them. It's not the majority of the fans' fave, though. That is the next album called Close to the Edge. The title track is on one side, and two tracks are on the other side. The original release of Fragile had the booklet stapled on the inside of the gatefold. Shame on Rhino not to emulate the original. Good buy, though, Frank. All the Yes albums from 71 to 80 are great except Tormato from 78 that is pants.
I had an LP of *Fragile* from the '70's on Atlantic & the booklet was definitely separate. I'm a fan of *Tormato* for sure-- "Don't Kill the Whale, Dig it!"
@patbarr1351 I live in the UK. Maybe it was or wasn't stapled. It was in the late 70s when I saw it. I've never owned a vinyl copy. The CD re-issue of Tormato has additional tracks that help improve the album. Maybe Rick Wakeman should have stuck to playing and writing instead of throwing peanuts at other band members in disdain. I've read his first book, Grumpy Old Rock Star. It's a very funny book. I've not read the second one as it is supposed to be not as good. The first book has details about his heart attack, which was very serious, especially for someone in his late twenties. If you haven't read it, it's a great read.
Hey Frank...i know you didn't talk about them on this video, but because you mentioned 'Warner' i noticed something shady on their part....it looks like the Tony Martin vinyls have been put out separately from the box set...ok...but now they all of a sudden have the bonus tracks that were only on the CD version of the box set...so obviously they could have fit them on the vinyl and didn't. I grabbed the box, but when i saw that, i had one of those 'you gotta be kidding me!!! moments...i love Sabbath...but, low move guys on albums you couldn't even give away in the past.
Not the most imaginative name for a record store, but glad you guys had fun there! Even here in rural Germany we have Mexican food! Not great, but it’ll do. Very expensive though cuz it’s so rare and exclusive! Did you call that Yes song “Runabout?” It’s “Roundabout,” isn’t it? 😊
Hey Frank, that is cool you got another spot to check out occasionally. I would definitely start a record store when i retire. Ten more years till i retire at 55
@Channel33RPM I've recently decided to stay working on some new goals, move overseas, retire early, open a record store, drive fast cars and comfy trucks, season tickets and enjoy life.
Hi Frank, been a War fan since I was a kid back in the 1970s, picked up both the original box set and the later one with the Eric Burdon stuff - top notch pressings and great sound. New one coming out Black Friday I'm thinking about, but it's a bit pricey and of the later stuff that's not so well known, we'll see. Love that store, looks very cool! Have a great weekend!
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't really know much about War until recently, but man... this album is killer. I'm going to keep exploring the catalog. Cool to hear you are a fan! Frank
Cool records! I love War (the band, not the real thing.) If you want to hear some interesting stuff check out their collaboration with Eric Burdon, former singer of The Animals. Spill the Wine is a great song!
Wow I have not seen an album like Paranoid anywhere near a 2-3 bin. These days record stores near me that would have been around 12. Also regarding scratches, I have found scratches that run parallel to the grooves are worse than the ones across them.
Check the Midnight Special youtube channel for some killer live War jams especially the episode that they hosted. Midnight special has been running all of their original episodes in order every friday for the last year or so, and they've covered '73 and '74, which is both a period where 100% of the black soul and funk groups are at their peak (they have my fave Curtis Mayfield on a lot), and some the rock groups are still good and raw, with weird progrock bands and early footage of hard rock legends. Every friday full episode is worth seeing in my opinion (and I'm old enough that I saw most of these when they first aired), sometimes there's a lot of mainstream pop to wade through, but usually there's something worth seeing, but you should def. look for that War episode, it's killer. ruclips.net/video/aeELnIGjiMg/видео.html
@@Channel33RPM Tonights episode is gonna be killer... The Ojay's hosting with James Brown doing seven songs!!! 5PM pacific time... ruclips.net/video/WFpjWopl3HY/видео.html

That CSNY Live is awesome 👌 as is the Atlantic 75th anniversary pressings of Yes & .. The Price Was Right ✅️ !
War was one of my favorite bands growing up but I did not own a lot of their albums
Another WINNER here Frank.
I Love Black Vinyl better myself but I actually like some records with color like they make them these days but overall black vinyl is my favorite color for records.

Much appreciated, David. See ya on Sunday!
Great episode Frank! Glad you got to check out Vinyl Experience. May have to snag that CSNY Fillmore release!🙏🏻🎧
I love visiting a new record store. I always find a few gems.
Yes, it's the thrill of the hunt. :)
Absolutely... I love it as well. A couple new record stores have opened in town over the past couple of months. I look forward to checking them out for the same reason.
I'm happy for you that you finally have Fragile by Yes in your collection.
In my opinion it is the band's best album.
Thanks! I've been meaning to get it for awhile. Glad to finally have it.
I have that Bowie pressing and love it. 👊🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Seen Yes record on your shelf last week . "South Side Of The Sky", really Cool 😎 tune when you're Buzzed
Working on it... :)
Thanks, Frank for delving into the music that I grew up with. It was a pleasant surprise. Now I’m going to be buying that CSNY album
Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for tuning in!
5:25 foil stamping 🤘🏽
Yes! Thank you.

Awesome video bro
Appreciate it
$35 for that Pioneer?!? Great score. Cool store. I would love to go record shopping in Canada and get out of the U.S. for a while.... say, like for 4 years :)
Looks like a Pioneer, but it's a Sony. Still a killer deal.
@Channel33RPM oh yeah. Totally!!
With WAR, you're in for a treat....
Not the biggest fan of CSNY, but I might that live record. I'll probably stream it first to make sure.
I'm really digging War and looking forward to diving into the catalog.
Thanks to A Christmas Story, whenever I see that Yes album, I have to stop myself from saying FRA-GEE-LAY.
Ha! I tend to do that as well, when I see the word fragile anywhere.
never has a joke made my parents laugh so hard. We actually saw it in a movie theater when it came out.
Ok Frank. I have to add a new "honorable mention." TOP 5 ST "Romeo and Juliet" (1968) ST "Oliver Twist" (1968) ST "Saturday Night Fever" (1977) "Disco Mickey Mouse" (1979) , and "Cats" (1983) . And 3 HONORABLE MENTIONS that didn't quite make the list. "Men of the Mall" (1959) , JUDY COLLINS "Recollections" (1972) , and ST "Arthur" (1981) . Well, don't underestimate the small.

Frank you see a Thin Lizzy album you buy it. I used to have that whole CSNY show as a bootleg
If you liked War's "The World is a Ghetto", you should check out Eric Burdon & War's track "Spill The Wine"...it's an insane groove!
Sounds cool. I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.
I keep thinking of my friend Larry, who moved from L.A. county to Sturgeon Falls, Ont. for high school-- "All these signs say 'Chinese & Canadian food' but where's the Mexican food?"

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I did not notice that record.
I meant to write "also starring Richard Burton" not "Richard Taylor". That's what happens when one types too fast. :)
I’ve been meaning to pick up that Ziggy Stardust record too! Lately I’ve been grabbing it, finding another album, and then putting it back. Lol I’ll get it eventually lol
That's kinda what I was going too... It's not a rarity, so I was always putting it off.

Hi Graham. I too am often guilty of judging a record based solely on its cover.
Speaking of War. How bout the Meters? Great funky, soul stuff.
Oh yeah! I have Struttin but need to explore more of their catalog.

Isn't dark side the most selling album of 73?
If ya know the song "Why can't we be friends" that's a War song
I do - great song.
Low Rider also, known from the Up In Smoke movie with Cheech and Chong.
Did the owner of the record store recognise you?
No, I don't think so.
Shouldn't be watching you.. now i wanna go home and spin the platters and pretend I'm a dj for the family. 😇
Sorry, not sorry :)

only in Manitoba would 17000 be considered a city. And they probably vote conservative...
