Being an overly organized nerd when it comes to my collection my first instinct is to say "wow, look how sloppy his room is and how his collection is just thrown about"....but....the real thing to notice about this guy and and his record room is that he probably knows more indepth knowledge and understanding about every piece of music in that room then we could even imagine. That is pretty awesome!!

[@PAULLONDEN]

"Awesome"---indeed.......never mind about having a life........Liked The Bietels,,,,,,,,who bloddy didn't.....😙
Wonder who dusts his house......

[@TheBudgie29]

WOW!. That's Brilliant His favorite Album Is The Pentangle by Pentangle. My Dad gave this Album when I was 13. And said, "That Is the only Album You will ever need". Everything else Is just Superficial. I still have It today and 50,000 Singles Later I will still play that Album. Thanks for this.

Bottoms

[@jayyoung5423]

Can someone please tell me the artist or song from the opening.... sounded like the Kinks, sounds wonderful, I want to crank it up peace all.

[@DJWerkz]

This is brilliant, this is a proper collection spanning many genres. So fed up since relocating to the States and seeing the relentless duplication of the same old music among collector communities in the US on RUclips such as Vinyl Community (VC).

@@vuzkoth if you need some breaks do your own crate digging

[@bostonianreggie]

Film more of these private collection videos

[@bostonianreggie]

@Camden Gus No, I’m good

[@eugeniogutierrez4334]

I thought I saw the back of the Pentangle LP while he was browsing through them. So glad I decided to buy it for a steal, also because of the cover which reminded me a bit of Velvet Underground or something like that.

[@DorianPaige00]

Maxwell had a good mashup with the single version of "Ascnesion" utilizing the SOS Band's "Noone's gonna love you. Mary J Blige did a good remix of "Love no limit" with Kenni Burke's "Risin' to the top."

[@maxjrboii]

Amazing collection and a very interesting selection this guy chose for this segment but man oh man does that room give me anxiety

[@vinylkats6281]

Great collection there

[@djtrishm]

[@yakamarezlife]

You got some Cab Calloway in there I'm looking for records to send to universal to restore his collections

[@grock9263]

Love Aztec Cameras early postcard singles ,,, as you say not available on CD yet ,,guilty pleasures Dire Straits Brothers In Arms , if it said Bob Dylan on that cover us punk rockers wouldnt feel guilty at all ,,,

[@Jay_Tee2023]

It was at The Blue Note in Columbia, MO in 1987-1989 ish time frame

[@Jay_Tee2023]

I also was an Aztec Camera fan, saw them live or maybe it was Roddy Frame solo

[@d.thomasmoore3020]

Aztec Camera---Jump (loaded version) (12in)
is and always will be my favorite piece of vinyl.

[@PAULLONDEN]

Laura Branigan.....yup...remember that horny 80's video also......"definitely"a record to own......
.......had trouble with my own "self control" though...

[@djtrishm]

oh wow now this guys has a GUGE music collection!

[@tomzim992]

just like gold!!!! cmon

[@ariel1972]

That Laura Branigan song is a hot one. Kool dude.

[@ariel1972]

Shit, I even like Haddaway these days.

[@superiormusic]

+Ariel Brown I agree with "they're made of the same stuff". I love pop from the 90's and Branigan is one of the few from the 80's pop scene I like :)

[@iceWaterProductions1]

Ariel Brown she’s great. I love those 80s rock singer girls
