Wow, you have those Move albums on cd, fantastic. Roy Wood lived opposite me in the late 60's in Birmingham UK. We lived in a council house and he was still living with his parents on the fifth floor of an eight storey high block of council flats (apartments for you guys across the pond). I would have been very young but I can still remember going to get his autograph, we took the elevator to the fifth floor, knocked on the door and he answered and was the most humble, polite and nice guy you could imagine. He kept postcard size prints of him and the band (this was in about 1969) in a little kind of table with a drawer in it which he kept the photos, picked one out for each of us (me, my brother and a friend), signed each one and bid us good day. I did manage to meet him again about fifteen years later when I got to chatting to him and he told me he went to the same school as me, lovely bloke who wrote some fantastic stuff whilst in the Move.
Yes, he was eccentric but a real gentleman. Mates with Jasper Carrot and of course Bev Bevan. That’s a trio you would want to down a few Brew XI’s with!
This is why you are my favorite VC RUclipsr, Mazzy. You have a large vinyl collection as well as a large CD collection. CDs are not shitass... It's the music stupid!!!
I used to have five thousand albums. There are too many negatives with albums - poor pressings, warpage, scratches, surface noise, size. The only plus is the sound, obviously. I have over seven thousand cds 's and probably two hundred and fifty boxed sets.I have virtually no problems with cd's at all. There are some stupid designs, yes. But, for me, cd's are best.
Funny you did this video. For the first time in at least a year I pulled some cds 💿 today to listen! Just been all vinyl. I only have about 1500, not your collection.! I do love hitting thrifts and getting them for 25 cents to a buck! Think I’ll start listening to more of them in 2024. 10:57
I fell in love with CD's soon after they hit the U.S. shores. My first CD player was a Sony CDP-102 and my first CD was The Beatles "Abbey Road" from Japan on the Toshiba label. I still have the CD but UPS destroyed the CD player when shipping back to me after a warranty repair. The Sony warranty repair center neglected to insure it when they shipped it back to me. UPS gave me $100. and after a letter from my attorney, Sony paid me the balance on the next-gen replacement CD player I had purchased to replace my original one. OK, I may have loved the CD format when it came out but I never turned my back on records. I bought alot of CD's of the record albums I already had and lot's of "Best Of" CD's. Often I had to buy record albums because they weren't available on CD at the time. I already had a few hundred record albums and 45 rpm singles before I got into CD's, but I would still buy new and used records. I didn't give up on either format. When they started putting out record albums again(and frequently with bonus CD's of the album inside), I was overjoyed that all the new records were all pressed on vinyl, exclusively. No more styrene 45's! Because I still actively bought both CD's and records, my collections grew into the 1,000's. I've got over 10K 7" 45rpm records alone. With the huge and escalating increases in the prices of new records, I have to think really hard before buying them. Often, with the audiophile records, the prices are so high that I buy the SACD version instead for a fraction of the price of a record album. But, I am still buying both.
I bought that Dada CD when it came out. Man, I must have listened to it a thousand times. The sonics are superb. I'll have to dig it out. Thanks Mazzy.
Thanks Mazzy for showing some of your favorite cds, I too have a large collection of cds, deluxe sets and box sets. I hope you do more videos highlighting your cd collection. That Shazam album has always been a favorite of mine and my friends back in the seventies. It’s a really well produced album for its time, the drums and bass kick out of the speakers. I prefer this album over Jellyfish any day..😊✌️
As a former vinyl and CD collector, I enjoyed this video. I still purchase/acquire CDs - in fact, I travel all over the world, rummaging through exotic bins at exotic markets in search of discs - but I no longer collect them. I should do a video on that confusing principle alone LOL! - Red
I've been buying cds since Aug 1982, when they were first introduced. At the time, there were just a handful of titles, all imported from Europe or Japan. No U.S. manufacturing plants existed at the time. Most of my cd collection consists of a large swath of first edition Polygram titles, made in W Germany, from 1982 and 1983. When it comes to hardware, I'm a minimalist. I have six of Sony's flagship portable cd players from 1990 and 1991, all restored to factory performance. Pairing those players with Sony's best earphones, three MDR-E484s, and one MDR-E575. Still in factory performance after 34 years. Everything made in Japan. MZ, check out the just released New Order remastered (2023) Substance 1987, Rino Warner Music UK (Optima Germany). I have the four cd version. I believe this is also available on vinyl.
Couldn't agree more. I have thousands of CDs and the minute you drop one there go the hinges. Drives me nuts. I can't believe it took so.long to bring in cardboard covers
I got that Dada album when it came out. It was on a listening post in Virgin megastore in London. Great record. I was lucky enough to see them at the Canyon Club in Agoura CA about 5 years ago whilst I was on a work trip. Fantastic live band.
Its marvellous you do these cd videos, as many forget or ignore that cd WAS a huge part of music and it was the labels who started to withdraw vinyl,as they attempted to kill off vinyl Records, just like what is happening to cd now for streaming,so thank YOU Mazzy for still putting the spotlight on the compact disc. I've been a cd only buyer for 30 years,and the sound recreation on cd is the best its been, compared to the early cd releases. The Move"Shazam"expanded cd set is excellent, with some coral electric sitar on "Fields Of People"originally recorded by Ars Nova. The extras ARE fantastic as you quite rightly mentioned, The Move had never sounded as heavy as on this album!! CD box sets are usually great value for money,you can get a full catalogue plus bonus discs of demos,alternates etc for a reasonable price like Harry Nillsons,or the recent Beau Brummels Box set......i much prefer "Triangle"to"Bradleys Barn"but i also have that Rhino Handmade expanded cd, The Monkees Rhino Handmade expanded box sets were terrific, with luxurious packaging, and lots of extra stuff, with demos, different takes, and unreleased recordings,i only have the "HEAD"Rhino Handmade expanded set as i couldnt afford the others!! So thanks again for the cd video, there's not enough videos on cd unfortunately, so i'll wish YOU all the best Mazzy,i wish you good health and good times for 2024.🦋🌻
I love R.E.M. and they released some great CD albums. F.Y.I.- the album title, “Automatic For the People” was taken from a diner/ coffee shop in Athens, Georgia.
Hi Mazzy - love your CD collection and room. I was a teenager in the mid 60's so I / we soaked up all the great British / American bands and artists, The Move, Kinks, the list goes on. I notice on your CD rack, just above where your hat was hanging the 4CD set - "Woody Guthrie - Folk Songs". I managed to pick that up a while ago out here in sunny Adelaide, Australia for a few dollars - great stuff. Loved Arlo and everything else lolol. keep on rockin. Cya Doug PS The Beatles will always be No1 for me 🙂
Love the opening. Dada was one of those bands that slipped through the cracks. Jim White is sooooo great, too. Appreciate the heads up on MC Honky aka Eels.
Yes I was very similar to you as far as music......Vinyl/Cassette/CD and backto Vinyl.........It's been a long strange road/trip! Blind Faith/Merle Haggard!/Johnny Cash/ Dolly wow! Don't Forget Jerry Lee Lewis' version of Me and Bobby Mcgee! after all "It's about the Music ......stupid" sorry thank you for your past and future hard work! Happy new year! Thanks for turning me on to new/old "flavors"........... oh yeah I Finally got to see The drums An old single lus Gretsch set! I Love them!
I found the Move Shazam album as a freshman in college 1979-80. Long story. Great record, and band. Agree, CDs shouldn't be written off. I bought a bunch, though not at your density. But love hearing about these! As always great video. Ignore the haters, bother!
16 bit audio has improved so much over the years, the studio AD converters are incredibly improved! Of course it's still not to the quality of 24 bit or pure analogue, but it's certainly improved! Now if they can just lower the damn level on a lot of em!😊😅
16 bit only just shows the possible dynamic range of the medium which is theoretically the same for CD and vinyl. 24 bit is not necessary for playback but good to have in a professional environment while recording.
If you want to say “wankerish”, the adjective version we do actually use here in Scotland is “wanky”, as in “ that’s quite wanky CD packaging”. Happy New Year Mazzy !
@@lesley4996And confirmation also from the Netherlands that only a wanker would say wankerish 😊 Although wankish is also socially acceptable, wanky is much more commonly used. But never wankerish 😂
I LOVE that big hitters have cds. As a poor little church mouse, my fun is owning almost everything The Cure did. I have so many back catalogues of people I yearned for now. Poor people can own music! Woo hoo! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really enjoyed this wander thru the CD side of things, especially the random shifts with no cheesy segways : You like REM? Well you're gonna love Lorne Greene! (PS the adjective you were searching for is indeed "wanky" )
I didn’t go as crazy as you did on cd’s but I bought a quite a bit especially box sets. Had a honey Hole for ten years that filled my shelves with rock and country records. Still buy box sets of any Media today when I come across it. I love the gimmicky cd’s not in regular jewel cases.
Thanks for the tour and introduction to some artists that don't often get talked about much! I dig the 'This is Mc Honkey' album design, obviously inspired by a familiar 1964 Capitol album :) Will need to track down a copy. You mentioned your CD buying days mostly concluded in 2006. Did you ever get into the brief 'Dual Disc' era from about the same time? I did, but despite initially enjoying them, found they would often get stuck in assorted CD players and result in damaged discs. Fun concept with expanded album and video tracks, but short lived. Why some of those DD's fetch high prices on eBay, etc is beyond me. Cheers!
Enjoyed this video. There's an interesting story to be told on the development of CDs and the impact on the music industry, and this is a excellent contribution. Those Blind Boys of Alabama albums are great, aren't they? They appear on the Peter Gabriel live DVD 'Growing Up' singing 'Sky Blue' and it's jaw-droppingly good. I still buy CDs and although I find them less compelling to sit and concentrate on than vinyl, they're damn useful and enjoyable around the house.
That extra bonus track at the very end of the CD is known in the industry as the "hidden track." Many people thought that Nirvana's "Endless, Nameless" was the first hidden track on a CD, since it wasn't on original 1991 vinyl or cassette versions of "Nevermind", but I think the first hidden track on a vinyl album was The Beatles "Her Majesty" on "Abbey Road" long before CD's were ever created. Twenty seconds of silence followed "The End's" last notes, and it seems the end of the album, and then, WHAM! one loud note from the final note of "Mean Mr. Mustard", and then you have this silly little ditty closing out The Beatles final album. Nirvana may have not have been the first band to come up with the concept of a hidden track on an album, but many grunge bands (and some pop ones as well) copied the idea throughout the 1990's.
Happy new year, Mazzy. I always wanted those wanky R.E.M. special editions, but alas my meagre finances wouldn't stretch. That photo montage image by Doug and Mike Starn was used as the cover of the 25th Anniversary edition of Out Of Time...Which I do have. It's amazing how much of an effect the design of Cash's first American Recordings album had on the marketing of his contemporaries. Waylon, Willie, Kris, Merle, Porter Wagoner, George Jones and probably more all totally switched their album covers to match the gritty black & white and sepia of the American Recordings. Turns out you can teach old dogs new tricks. Cheers - Hed
Cool. Lots of stuff lost to history from the early 90s. Thinking Elastic Purejoy for one. Also, if you decide to get rid of it I’ll drop by and take that Byrd’s poster off your hands.
Oh man, I really agree with you about the seemingly endless silent period at the end of a record before the next, usually last song. Talk about Beatles connection, didn't they start that with Her Majesty? If I remember right, there was a silence between The End and Her Majesty. Anyway, great video, as usual.
Well done! I would argue that Kris Kristofferson’s most famous , at least his best, song is Help Me Make It Through The Night. Interesting fact, Kenny Rogers, Roger Miller and Gordon Lightfoot all recorded Me and Bobby McGee before Janis. Love all that Jim White stuff. Don’t forget to mention Dada’s fantastic drummer Phil Leavitt. Of course him and Joie are now 7Horse, another great band.
@cultsinger Hey Joie, saw you guys on a rainy afternoon in Lexington Ky. And also got to experience the fantastic Covid zoom concert, what a night. All the best in the coming year.
Well quite a while ago Punk band the Adverts debut album was issued on cd here in the UK! Problem to play the four extra tracks you had the cd load as normal to track 1! Then you press rewind and go back -1 -2 -3 - 4 stop then you can play the 4 tracks to track 1 utterly ridiculous!
I know there’s a surprising amount of metal where if you want to listen to it, there’s no record, and there’s no stream. You have to have the CD. I imagine other types of music are still similar, though I don’t know for sure I got rid of my cd player a few years ago, but I recently bought another
Mazzy, I will give you my secret to buying CDs from estate sales and garage sales. Pay no more than two dollars apiece. You would be surprised at some of the great stuff I have found for that price. 😮
Dug the intro music by DADA. Excellent pick. I am also a REM enthusiast and have most of their discography. Some of your special releases are really cool. I am a CD collector, by the way. Dug your music/CD room. Didn't know you're a player. Any good? Still play? I am subscribed to your channel and enjoy your content. Thanks!
I know what you mean about the dreaded hidden song, totally hate the concept. My favorite one is Counting Crows on Hard Candy, the hidden song is Big Yellow Taxi. The CD liner notes just say *May contain trace amounts of Joni Mitchell. Even Apple Music doesn't give it a track number, just an *.
Great video, always helpful while trying to deepen my CD collection. By the way what do you think about reissue/audiophile labels putting out a good amount of SACDs? 😁
I have a few dozen CD singles -the regular 5” format. Some were promos and some by artists I collected. Didn’t buy a lot. The really small 3” were stilly however I do have a bunch they released by the Beatles. Fun but silly. Imho
Janky is the adjective I would use to describe that REM cd and pretty much all jewel cases in general. Wanky or wankish more specifically attached to unsavory human behavior. Janky turntable. Wanky DJ.
Wankerish is absolutely fine in my book. Wankey if you're into the whole brevity thing. That's a fantastic looking Helmut Newton tome in your fly through. I suspect his fantastic photo of Dave Lee Roth confused a lot of young men 😂
I had never heard of the band, but based on your comment (big praise) and what I heard in this video, I have given them a listen. Very enjoyable and I will certainly keep a look out for their cds! Cheers to you and the band!
Alright!! The bass player, Thank You for making the album. I've gotten a good deal of pleasure from listening to it and sharing it with friends. Always get a "How did I miss this" reaction.@cultsinger
Great looking room! Say what’s that amp beside the AC15 it looks like Blues Jr but I thought it said Play Tone? Also I’ve not seen that other Vox on the left before. It’s very cool looking. I love an AC15. I actually have 2.
That is a Blues Jr amp. Tom Hanks production Co is called Playtone, named after the record label in his film, That Thing You Do. One Christmas they gave away a bunch of them to friends and clients with their own badge replacing Fender 🎸✌🏼
Cool. I’ve got one of those too. I kinda collect tube amps. Mostly Fender. Nothing vintage except an old 50s MojoTone. Great channel man! I’m just getting back into vinyl so I’m binge watching you and a few others. Thanks for the reply!
Wow, you have those Move albums on cd, fantastic. Roy Wood lived opposite me in the late 60's in Birmingham UK. We lived in a council house and he was still living with his parents on the fifth floor of an eight storey high block of council flats (apartments for you guys across the pond).
I would have been very young but I can still remember going to get his autograph, we took the elevator to the fifth floor, knocked on the door and he answered and was the most humble, polite and nice guy you could imagine. He kept postcard size prints of him and the band (this was in about 1969) in a little kind of table with a drawer in it which he kept the photos, picked one out for each of us (me, my brother and a friend), signed each one and bid us good day.
I did manage to meet him again about fifteen years later when I got to chatting to him and he told me he went to the same school as me, lovely bloke who wrote some fantastic stuff whilst in the Move.
Roy wood used to drink in my local in Four oaks in the 90’s - he used to drive round Erdington in the 70’s in his rolls Royce - great character
Yes, he was eccentric but a real gentleman. Mates with Jasper Carrot and of course Bev Bevan. That’s a trio you would want to down a few Brew XI’s with!
I’ve done vinyl, (almost) reel to reel, 8-Track, cassette, and CD. The compact disc forever. Thank you Discogs.
This is why you are my favorite VC RUclipsr, Mazzy. You have a large vinyl collection as well as a large CD collection. CDs are not shitass... It's the music stupid!!!
I used to have five thousand albums. There are too many negatives with albums - poor pressings, warpage, scratches, surface noise, size. The only plus is the sound, obviously. I have over seven thousand cds 's and probably two hundred and fifty boxed sets.I have virtually no problems with cd's at all. There are some stupid designs, yes. But, for me, cd's are best.
Right there with you.
I still collect lots of redbook Compact Discs & sacd's, I still love the format & still thick it has a lot to give, great video mazzi👍
Jeez You have The Best, Greatest Bachelor's Pad I've ever saw.
Funny you did this video. For the first time in at least a year I pulled some cds 💿 today to listen! Just been all vinyl. I only have about 1500, not your collection.! I do love hitting thrifts and getting them for 25 cents to a buck! Think I’ll start listening to more of them in 2024. 10:57
A great CD offers the attentive mind a multi-faceted, contextualized cultural landscape.
Not sure what you mean, but it sounds great!
I fell in love with CD's soon after they hit the U.S. shores. My first CD player was a Sony CDP-102 and my first CD was The Beatles "Abbey Road" from Japan on the Toshiba label. I still have the CD but UPS destroyed the CD player when shipping back to me after a warranty repair. The Sony warranty repair center neglected to insure it when they shipped it back to me.

I've been buying cds since Aug 1982, when they were first introduced. At the time, there were just a handful of titles, all imported from Europe or Japan. No U.S. manufacturing plants existed at the time. Most of my cd collection consists of a large swath of first edition Polygram titles, made in W Germany, from 1982 and 1983. When it comes to hardware, I'm a minimalist. I have six of Sony's flagship portable cd players from 1990 and 1991, all restored to factory performance. Pairing those players with Sony's best earphones, three MDR-E484s, and one MDR-E575. Still in factory performance after 34 years. Everything made in Japan.

Very cool. That an early start ✌🏼
Always love your vids!
And then there was the Mercury Rev CD where the last song's ending was cut into 90 one-second "songs."
Never in million years would I think I’d see a LAFMS box in one of your videos. Respect.
the worst thing about CDs was the work of the devil that is the double-CD jewel case which always broke as soon as you touched it
Couldn't agree more. I have thousands of CDs and the minute you drop one there go the hinges. Drives me nuts. I can't believe it took so.long to bring in cardboard covers
Or you had to destroy it to get the second CD out
I got that Dada album when it came out. It was on a listening post in Virgin megastore in London. Great record. I was lucky enough to see them at the Canyon Club in Agoura CA about 5 years ago whilst I was on a work trip. Fantastic live band.

Lovely video as usual. The cd collection is outstanding well done.
Nice one - You have just turned me on to Dada!
I put that Dada CD on IG before I saw your video 😂 It's a GREAT album! I really like Here Today, Gone Tomorrow.
It's so good! ✌🏼
CDs are rad! If it was recorded digitally, I prefer a quality CD.

Love the Blind Faith-album, I've got the Deluxe Edition and it's wonderful. Love the sounds and the playing on it.
Mazzy! Thank you for recommendation wonderful album's Dada Puzzle I am listening it whole day
Another excellent video Mazzy. Dada, The Move

As an English person (sorry), I also say Wanky
I think it’s just plain “wank” - as in this CD package is wank - and as I’m in the U.K. we are the experts on the whole wank phrases obviously
Are you sure you’re not Canadian? (sorry)
So there you have it Mazzy, definitive agreement from Scotland, England and Canada that the word is wanky.
@@lesley4996And confirmation also from the Netherlands that only a wanker would say wankerish 😊
Although wankish is also socially acceptable, wanky is much more commonly used. But never wankerish 😂
Incredible music collection. I would think that you have a great alarm system hooked up to protect everything.

Your knowledge is phenomenal maz . I will have to see if I can find some stuff shown today and
Pull up the vinyl I currently have
I would be in the same boat but exclusively cd purchasing 1991-2011 and its all about the music. I am format agnostic.

i love your interiour Mazzy,very inviting
I think I'm going to listen to that Dada CD this weekend Mazzy, lol. It's been too long.
Cool 🥁🎸✌🏼
Yet again you’ve educated and enlightened me. Thanks Mazzy.
Thank you for watching ✌🏼
Cds take up soo much space!
I like the Dizz Knee Land by Dada. Fun track. I have alot of vintage CDs.
The bonus tracks were a pull to buy CDs and the technology was new.
That extra bonus track at the very end of the CD is known in the industry as the "hidden track." Many people thought that Nirvana's "Endless, Nameless" was the first hidden track on a CD, since it wasn't on original 1991 vinyl or cassette versions of "Nevermind", but I think the first hidden track on a vinyl album was The Beatles "Her Majesty" on "Abbey Road" long before CD's were ever created. Twenty seconds of silence followed "The End's" last notes, and it seems the end of the album, and then, WHAM! one loud note from the final note of "Mean Mr. Mustard", and then you have this silly little ditty closing out The Beatles final album. Nirvana may have not have been the first band to come up with the concept of a hidden track on an album, but many grunge bands (and some pop ones as well) copied the idea throughout the 1990's.
Looks like you've got a nice collection there.
Thank you 🥁
I love Dada
Great alternative version of 'Its The Music Stupid!"
Lots of interesting music tips. I'm going to definitely check out MC Honky ✌🏼
Gave all my CDs to charity not that I had as many as you.
Anything I don’t have on vinyl I stream, saves a lot of space.
Very nice room!
I get cd fatigue after an hour. I can listen to vinyl for hours!😮
Happy new year, Mazzy.
I always wanted those wanky R.E.M. special editions, but alas my meagre finances wouldn't stretch.
That photo montage image by Doug and Mike Starn was used as the cover of the 25th Anniversary edition of Out Of Time...Which I do have.
It's amazing how much of an effect the design of Cash's first American Recordings album had on the marketing of his contemporaries. Waylon, Willie, Kris, Merle, Porter Wagoner, George Jones and probably more all totally switched their album covers to match the gritty black & white and sepia of the American Recordings. Turns out you can teach old dogs new tricks.

And what about Lorne Greene? 🤠
@@mazzysmusic I only have him on vinyl, not those little silver disco discs.
That Dada album is recorded insanely well, the strat tones sound fantastic.
The second dada album is also great.
Mazzy, find the dada CD Live Bootleg, you will really enjoy it, especially the track Ask The Dust.
Hi Mazzy, great intro, love the music room
Cool. Lots of stuff lost to history from the early 90s. Thinking Elastic Purejoy for one. Also, if you decide to get rid of it I’ll drop by and take that Byrd’s poster off your hands.
Many great cds by great artists are out of print and were never made into records.
Lorn Greene Western Classics, love it!
Wow! I didn't know Lorne Greene could sing. Some nice songs on his youtube catalogue .
Cool Beatles MMT figurines.
Oh man, I really agree with you about the seemingly endless silent period at the end of a record before the next, usually last song. Talk about Beatles connection, didn't they start that with Her Majesty? If I remember right, there was a silence between The End and Her Majesty. Anyway, great video, as usual.
Yes w Her Majesty. But wasn’t 10,15 minutes later, and you could see the grooved track 🤠.
I have that Helmut Newton book, nice camera collection.
Dada was a band from Britain on the island label in 1970. Made one great album.
Apparently the Brit version was more than a project than a full on band ✌🏼
Well done! I would argue that Kris Kristofferson’s most famous , at least his best, song is Help Me Make It Through The Night. Interesting fact, Kenny Rogers, Roger Miller and Gordon Lightfoot all recorded Me and Bobby McGee before Janis. Love all that Jim White stuff. Don’t forget to mention Dada’s fantastic drummer Phil Leavitt. Of course him and Joie are now 7Horse, another great band.
@cultsinger Hey Joie, saw you guys on a rainy afternoon in Lexington Ky. And also got to experience the fantastic Covid zoom concert, what a night. All the best in the coming year.
I Have MC Honky, the album and the single "Like A Duck" on CD, It's just E doing his E thing.
Well quite a while ago Punk band the Adverts debut album was issued on cd here in the UK! Problem to play the four extra tracks you had the cd load as normal to track 1! Then you press rewind and go back -1 -2 -3 - 4 stop then you can play the 4 tracks to track 1 utterly ridiculous!
Star Art book! Cool❤
A real boomer paradise you’ve got going there Mazzy.
I know there’s a surprising amount of metal where if you want to listen to it, there’s no record, and there’s no stream. You have to have the CD.
I imagine other types of music are still similar, though I don’t know for sure
I got rid of my cd player a few years ago, but I recently bought another
WHAT A ROOM!!!!
I’m going to Dizz Knee Land! Love it!
Now that's how you open a video!!
Never heard that band DADA, but i like it! Great song!👍
Yeah I’m getting into their 6 or 7 CDs
@@mazzysmusicI will have get that CD.
Thank you👍
so now i have to dig all those rubbermaid tubs full of cds back out?
Mazzy, I will give you my secret to buying CDs from estate sales and garage sales. Pay no more than two dollars apiece. You would be surprised at some of the great stuff I have found for that price. 😮
Very cool floor.
Good dusting on those shelves Mazzy- do you do your own or do you have a helper ?
Dug the intro music by DADA. Excellent pick. I am also a REM enthusiast and have most of their discography. Some of your special releases are really cool. I am a CD collector, by the way. Dug your music/CD room. Didn't know you're a player. Any good? Still play? I am subscribed to your channel and enjoy your content. Thanks!
Dada for sure.
Butterfly Jones is as great as dada, also.
I know what you mean about the dreaded hidden song, totally hate the concept. My favorite one is Counting Crows on Hard Candy, the hidden song is Big Yellow Taxi. The CD liner notes just say *May contain trace amounts of Joni Mitchell. Even Apple Music doesn't give it a track number, just an *.
Hi, enjoyed the video. Is your cd shelf custom built or something available commercially?
Custom ✌🏼
here in the UK we tend to say 'wanky' rather than 'wankerish' but whatever sound good to you
Great video, always helpful while trying to deepen my CD collection. By the way what do you think about reissue/audiophile labels putting out a good amount of SACDs? 😁
I have a handful of SACDs. Not many but I don’t buy many new ones. Have a few from MoFi and Intervention
R.E.M. looks like a dilapidated mini gift box, just awful. Although a VERY fine album.
Hey mazzy what do you think about cd45's I've got a handful of them a waste of money and plastic or kind of cool?
I have a few dozen CD singles -the regular 5” format. Some were promos and some by artists I collected. Didn’t buy a lot. The really small 3” were stilly however I do have a bunch they released by the Beatles. Fun but silly. Imho
Janky is the adjective I would use to describe that REM cd and pretty much all jewel cases in general. Wanky or wankish more specifically attached to unsavory human behavior. Janky turntable. Wanky DJ.
For example.
Wankerish is absolutely fine in my book. Wankey if you're into the whole brevity thing.
That's a fantastic looking Helmut Newton tome in your fly through. I suspect his fantastic photo of Dave Lee Roth confused a lot of young men 😂
Dada's debut album "Puzzle" is maybe the best album of the 90's.
I had never heard of the band, but based on your comment (big praise) and what I heard in this video, I have given them a listen. Very enjoyable and I will certainly keep a look out for their cds! Cheers to you and the band!
I discovered them by accident. Found Puzzle in a thrift shop for a buck and gave it a shot. WOW! What a buy that turned out to be.@@ashrobinson4604
Alright!! The bass player, Thank You for making the album. I've gotten a good deal of pleasure from listening to it and sharing it with friends. Always get a "How did I miss this" reaction.@cultsinger
Great looking room! Say what’s that amp beside the AC15 it looks like Blues Jr but I thought it said Play Tone? Also I’ve not seen that other Vox on the left before. It’s very cool looking. I love an AC15. I actually have 2.
That is a Blues Jr amp. Tom Hanks production Co is called Playtone, named after the record label in his film, That Thing You Do. One Christmas they gave away a bunch of them to friends and clients with their own badge replacing Fender 🎸✌🏼
Cool. I’ve got one of those too. I kinda collect tube amps. Mostly Fender. Nothing vintage except an old 50s MojoTone. Great channel man! I’m just getting back into vinyl so I’m binge watching you and a few others.
Thanks for the reply!
Great!!
here in Ireland at least, it's "wanky". or maybe that's just my circle.
The whole dada catalogue is worth owning
Where did you get your shelves?
I drew them up and someone build them in for me
