It's not so bad if the digipaks have CD trays, although it's going to get worn and beaten up sliding in and out of the shelf over time. The worst thing are the digipaks/digibooks where the CD is loose in the cardboard/paper sleeve like a vinyl replica and you slide/pull it out. At least have a f'in plastic tray for the CD to sit in
"Old" digipaks were good at least to very good and excellent though. Quite often "limited editions" with elaborated/extended artwork, bonuses etc., and very good quality of paper/carton, plastic trays etc. Still more vulnerable to damages and different in sizes, so, have to keep them separately mostly 🙂
The recent K-pop trend would drive you bonkers. All the packing is different for each release. The scam is you get really elaborate packing but may 3-4 songs.
People who leave the shrink on are the same as grandparents who used to leave vinyl covers on their couch, or people who leave the plastic covers on their lampshades. Being a collector does not inherently imply this sort of madness. Some of us enjoy packaging and the music without being obsessive
I can relate so much to this video stream, I've so many cds I have to have them in alphabetical order just so I can find them or to check if I have a certain album by the band as not to buy a duplicate copy, which I have done on a few occasions. Anthony sounds like a good bloke, good to see him in streams.
I have 35,000 plus records and when the "A" section filled up, I had to move thousands to records.. At some point, I saw a video that changed my life. Now I have each record numbered and put in a database. Artist, Album Title, Year, Genre, Record Label and two columns for extra information. Now, when I bring home a bag of records, I just add them to the database, slip the corresponding number into the plastic outersleeve and add them to the end of the collection. It has saved me sooooo much time.
Love the shirt, Brendon. So cool!!! Apparently, Debbie used to cruise Union Blvd in Totowa with her friends back in the day. Right down the street from me. Now Union Blvd has become the Yellow Brick road to me. LOL!!!
For sorting, I have my studio albums in chronological order by year and have separated my jewel cases and my cardboard cases. I also have tried doing this with my compilation, soundtrack, singles, and live albums, but I just stopped as it's harder to figure out as I went for the earliest song of each artist, except for the soundtrack, singles, and live albums as they're easier to put in chronological order by year. My jewel case collection starts with Please Please Me and my cardboard case collection starts with Abbey Road. The only thing I've done differently with my cardboard cases is that I kept the compilations with my studios.
I sort mine A-Z no matter the genre. That way I can find what I am looking for. It is easier to locate if A-Z rather than is it here or there. Love it when Anthony is so animated on a topic. Yes, GNR and Skidrow is rock, Not Glam! I am with Anthony on this one. LOL I will say, They they had haystack hair for the first albums it was kinda looking like that was the Glam thing there for a sec.
Fun way of Bringing up the discussion Bizarreness how everyone of us record collectors or Music collectors however, you want to put a physical format. I have a little OCD every day.
Approx 1000cds, alphabetical and each artist chronological. Don’t save any hype stickers. Replace jewel cases when busted. No issues with digipacks. My vinyl is 99% from the 70’s and 80’s original presses , around 500 alphabetical and chronological by artist
Hey Kevin, as a collector of mostly used CD's, I rarely have to replace jewel cases anymore, unless broken, as I use Goo Gone to clean them and it works so well it even hides scratches on jewel cases as it lifts the dirt inside scratch, making it much less visible. Goo Gone works like a dream!
I find sometimes Rock Candy puts the sticker on the shrink wrap. Get a hairdryer and warm up the back of the sticker for an easy peel then on to the jewel case 👍🏻
All my CDS have to be facing the same way! My wife thinks that's stupid but I told her when I was younger I always knew when my sister borrowed a CD cause they wee always turned and not facing up!
Am I glad to see I'm not the only OCD record collector. I do like the idea of a "Wall of Wonder". Now, do the cd's on the wall rotate, I mean change from time to time?
Wow! I thought I was bad with OCD! I only listen to a few styles of music. Dance, Pop, Pop-rock, Yacht rock so it's not that hard for me to organize everything. I have all my LP's in alphabetical order by artist and then by release date within each artist. 12" singles are also arranged by release date right behind the parent album they were released from! LIVE albums are also included within each artist according to release date. An example would be Donna Summer's 1978 "Live & More" album is between her 1977 studio album "Once Upon A Time" and her 1979 studio album "Bad Girls". I really like keeping all releases by each artist together by release date.
That's exactly how I describe my collection, from ABBA to ZZ Top! I put soundtracks and compilation albums at the very front of my collection. Got about 9 thousand CD's, starved for more room now!
A lot of those 5 in 1 releases, especially from Europe, are using low quality MP3s as their source since they can't get genuine versions from the studios. I try to stay away from those as much as I can but a few have snuck into my collection.
They are usually the original master. The 5 in 1s are usually classic artists/bands from the 1960s/1970s/1980s, some are even branded as 'original series' because of this. The audio difference you are detecting is that you would usually be buying a CD reissue and ''remaster' when you buy the standalone CD, so the sound quality is usually more clear and fresh.
@@jimmycampbell78 It depends on what they use or who remastered, how loud, and if there are drop-outs. "Drop-outs" are unacceptable and when they remaster, anything is possible. Personally I wished they'd take the best cd and make a copy which would be identical. However, I've seen and heard many times where the wrong mix was used. There are working mixes, single mixes, remixes and unfinished versions that have emerged often by mistake and unmarked as such. There should be a comparison to the original which frequently does not happen. Motown and Stax are notorious for using unmarked mastering. Stereo, mono, extended, remix, fake-stereo all emerge without disclosure. Some albums came out in stereo while others were in mono. Some are in both and some are in an incorrectly marked sleeve. Much of this is era dependent like 1960's. Another issue is that indie labels often used the majors for single mixes and distribution but never got their single masters back. They'll typically remaster a single version using the album mix in attempt to make the single mix not realizing that it's the wrong version. They would need the stems which they likely don't have as either they don't care or they didn't accurately listen.
What do you do for instance with the albums "No Quarter" and "Coverdale-Page", I have them next to my Zeppelin albums cause I know right away where to find them. But do they belong there?
Smart idea, double sided tape! I use Goo Gone to remove sticky debris and dirt on jewel cases, shines them up incredibly well! I buy tons of used CDs, so Goo Gone is my go to for cleaning.
God, I just love you guys. Anyone who gets into music has to have some kind of OCD. I think though this type of OCD can be semi healthy. There are way worse things to be OCD about.
My wife definitely thinks I am, but I should show her this video so she knows my problem is minor. Many of the things you said bother me, too. I hate different sizes. I am a stickler for my filing system. I like to save the stickers. I will say this about live archival releases, I put them at the end of the artists collection and then organize them by date of show. This includes bootlegs as well. I had to do this for the Stones because I didn't like how the archival releases were disrupting the flow of their original catalog. That said, if the live album was released officially in that flow (Get Yer Ya Yas, Love You Live, Still Life, Flashpoint, etc.) I keep those with the rest of the studio albums because I believe that tells the story.
I bought Def Leppard's Hysteria the remastered on CD and bought Hysteria expanded deluxe 3 CD's set with comes with remastered of Hysteria and in the round in your Face (Live) so i guess i have some OCD!.
I need to have either a full cataloque from a band or a certain period of back to back albums. I cant have the first four albums for example, miss fifth and sixth and then buy the seventh. It`s either buy 5th,6th and 7th or dont buy the 7th all. It`s so stupid... :D
How do you file an artist like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, etc in a collection. Example, The Velvet Underground. Do you file Lou Reed's solo albums with the Velvet Underground or separately. But then you have in the mix, Lou Reed & Metallica's, Lulu. Do you file Lulu in Metallica or with Lou Red? Lou Reed also is also on several movie soundtracks. Do you file the soundtrack in the movie soundtrack or Lou Reed section? I keep the Velvet Underground separate from everything else with all the Lou Reed solo albums, collaborations, and movie soundtracks together. I like everything together as a completist. And I'm OCD and proud of it.
I am a A through Z guy, I can’t stand different size cd’s packaging. I will buy CD’s that are exclusive n the packaging is different size because of a poster or booklet, drive me nuts. Everything should just be in a jewel case! IMO
I can understand the OCD aspect , I have my collection around what I call my 1 meter boundary .., I wont let guests sit closer to that to it , kids put things near it , wife walk by it .., 1 meter away at all times please .., kinda like that Spinal Tap scene with the guitar ;)
The one that gets me a new CD comes out & it comes into formats Jewel case & Digipak with bonus tracks. So, I have to get the Digipak, so I get the bonus tracks, or you can only the bonus tracks on an import. why not just pot the bonus tracks on Jewel case Cd forget the Digipak all together.
It doesn't matter what you collect, vinyl records, hockey cards, action figures, Funko Pops, comic books, even stamps, anything in general, you will be OCD about your collection. It has to go in order at least with some sort of structure and not just be placed out in complete chaos of uncertainty. So I think all collectors are indeed OCD with their things.
I'm glad i finished my Bowie collection while they were still in CD jewel cases. The new 2021 remaster versions are small cardboard versions which many people have complained the CD's are too hard to pull out & put back in. It's too small & too tight so the CD causes ring ware on the packaging like vinyl.
I spend most of my CD shopping time and $ filling holes in my collection. I just completed my Thin Lizzy, except for the Box Sets, which I'm struggling to justify. They're hundreds of dollars on eBay and I can get them digitally. I also downsized from a house to a condo after my kids left the nest, so space is at a premium. Same for the UFO collection. I have the Live Sightings box, but the Strangers in the Night Box is excessive, although a "mere" $79. All those "Anniversary Deluxe Edition" CDs are a huge expense and I have to be VERY discriminating in which ones I get. I don't care about demos or alternate takes. If they have a live CD then that usually gets my attention. I store my CDs alphabetized by Artist name and then chronologically. No genre distinction. I will put legacy live releases with the album that the tour is associated with. KISS soundboards, for example. Thin Lizzy has had a few of those. Still Dangerous and UK Tour '75 come to mind. It's a great hobby, but it's also a cursed one... Great video, guys!
Just realized that Anthony strikes a resemblance to Reviewbrah from The Report of the Week! Anthony is just an older, cooler version, into music instead of fast food and doesn't wear the suits. Reviewbrah is a legend and has 2.84M subscribers on RUclips. Maybe you can have Reviewbrah on your channel and interview him about his musical interests!
Ok you guys may be OCD but not crazy like me. I organize my discs right to left rather than left to right because when I stand in front of my racks i tilt my head and go from top to bottom the way the writing on the spine sits rather than from either reading everything upside down or going from bottom to top..... I'm dure this makes no sense to anyone but me!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do the same with box sets and the same cds in the cd tower so I can keep the cds 💿 in a box set. I journey time I have the box set of the cds and I have the same cds 💿 in my cd 💿 tower so I can leave the cds 💿 in the box set.
I own over 5000 CDs. Currently I have them sorted by record company and numeric catalog with spines out so all if not most of my early pressing CD spines are uniformly displayed. Recently I have mistakenly purchased CDs that are already in my collection, lol, so I have bent toying with a crazy idea of sorting A-Z with standard genres. Albeit this will take a few minutes though. 🤪 Yeah, I know make an inventory list of what I own. Well a few years ago my computer and a secondary hard drive bit the dust, both had my list. So now I start writing an inventory list again!
My peeve is soundtracks - I collect soundtracks and I argue with myself about where to put my Prince soundtracks! Do they go with Prince the artist or do they go with my soundtrack collection?! I'm so torn!😢😅
I hate when the title of the album is printed before the artist name on the spine. Or if they usually put the artist name on the edge of the spine but then there's one random album where its in the middle and when you look at that artists discography on the shelf it doesn't perfectly line up.
All the records are alphabetical…. Solo artist goes in by last name. I don’t go as far as to breaking down the genres, everything is together. I do separate soundtracks and compilation type CDs and Christmas stuff also goes separate. Once I got them alpha’d it’s chronological, and that includes live records and when artists do best ofs or greatest hits. When the re-release or the expanded version or the anniversary comes out, I generally keep that to the year it was put out… example… Motley Crue re-released their catalog like 5 times…. I rebought each of them everytime… they’re all places in the wall at the year they were released. Live records of it’s a 2024 release of a 1984 show… goes under 2024. I absolutely do not shove band members solo stuff under the band… I LOATHE seeing that in record stores finding Slash in the GnR section, drives me nuts. If a solo artist puts out an album under said name and includes “band” in their name… it goes alpha as a band… like Alice Cooper Band goes under “A” while Alice Cooper goes under “C.” I not as OCD with the hype sticker. I used to be insane with the white sticker they’d often put on top of the disc as a security measure to keep people from popping open the packaging and robbing the disc. Box sets vs individual discs… I’ll buy both also. Box sets I do keep separate. If there is a regular jewel case and an expanded digi-pak… often I get both. I’ll also attempt to grab the imports if there is added or different tracks. Or different artwork. Effing absolutely music collectors are OCD!!!!
Amazon not adding enough protection to keep them from getting damaged during shipping is Amazon’s fault. It’s why it’s on them to take them back and provide a replacement when damage during shipping occurs.
I don’t see the point of putting the hype sticker loose in the packaging. I put them back on the front cover. I feel most don’t do this so it’s rare to see albums still with hype stickers on.
AM THANKFUL FOR THOSE DELUXE EDITIONS AC⚡DC THE BETWEENZ TO Z•Z TOP..... TRANSMISSION IMPOSSIBLE CDZ LIVE BBC SESSIONS STUFF TO READ AND PICTURES AS WELL Weed Me
I know you guys mean well, and I enjoyed the video, but please be careful about how you talk about OCD. Severe cases like I had can ruin lives, cause depression, anxiety, and other illnesses, and can lead to hospital stays and even suicide attempts. Imagine not being able to leave your house, for example, because you have irrational thoughts that someone might harm you, or that you might harm someone. Having things in order is not OCD, the illness basically ruined every aspect of my life until I fully understood it and found the right medication and therapy for it. But as said, it took me years to understand it, so I don't blame you guys for not either. Thanks
Nah. I think you’re being way too sensitive. Just because some people suffer with OCD in a serious way, it doesn’t mean those sufferers own full usage of the term. Please don’t police other people’s language.
@JLKeener77 Google OCD. In the west it will only be diagnosed as that if it interferes with your life for at least an hour a day and causes significant distress. It is identified as one of the top worst mental illnesses. Would you say you are a bit... 'insert another severe mental illness'.
Drive me nuts don't care what i bought for when i get home when i get home open it on cd or album I'm more vynil than u but lots of CDs cassetts but have marker of someone's initials or names on it you see at first i hate it especially it's in great shape especially you've. Been looking for a long time artist album finally found it
I'm Anal about my collection apabetical by artist all no matter what type of music they are. from the first album to the last archival albums are cataloged by when they came out not when they were made. the other thing I'M ANAl about and am trying very slowly to fix is rebuying the albums that are from a record club or a promo. I want all my albums as they would be if I purchased them in the store. my letter A is the only letter so far that I have completed. one last thing the only albums not in my collection abc order are buy complete collection of every Number one album on the billboard 200 from 1963 to the present (in order from 1963 to today) and my box sets that don't fit with the regular CD's. also my soundtracks are a to z by movie and my compilations are in two sections first the comps with newly recoded music a to z and then the comps with the previously released music a to z. if they have both whatever has more.
Anthony likes it dim so you don't see the scratches. (LOL) Do you have the "nice price" stickers too? How about more to play, less to pay? And when you play it, say it! (LOL)
The person who created the digipack should be arrested for crimes against humanity.
Agreed!! Look how terrible the AC/DC remasters look, those god awful cardboard cases
@@JohnDoe-uk8et I agree I hate them jewel cases are the best

Amen! 🙏🏻
Agree👍🏻

The Nazareth Salvo Remastered CDs from the 2010s or so.... Expect No Mercy, why in the fuck is it taller than the others ?? Who approved that ?
What bothers me are tab indentations on the CD booklet when people don't put it in the jewel case properly.
Same here goo gone is the way to go lol
@@thomaswery3087 goo gone takes out the indentations from the booklet?

I have both Skid Row and Guns N Roses in my glam/hair metal collection also.
I still have all the long boxes.
Yes I was indeed the audience member going “yea!! I know!!” Haha
Motley Crue “Motley Crue” is one of those cds with the spine printed upside down.

Dramarama was such a a great band - love every song they ever put out! Music lovers dream band!
Hey Brenden, where's your video showing how you open sealed vinyl? Cheers! 😎🤘🏼🤘🏼
Dose making a copy of a CD for my truck count? Or is it just a habit from when I used to record my albums to cassette for the same reason?

It has to go in order at least with some sort of structure and not just be placed out in complete chaos of uncertainty. So I think all collectors are indeed OCD with their things.
I have a SOAD album where the printing on the spine is upside down
I'm glad i finished my Bowie collection while they were still in CD jewel cases. The new 2021 remaster versions are small cardboard versions which many people have complained the CD's are too hard to pull out & put back in. It's too small & too tight so the CD causes ring ware on the packaging like vinyl.
The Curse Is Real
good video. i hate putting cd backwards.glad last 2 mellencamp cds are jewel case
I spend most of my CD shopping time and $ filling holes in my collection.
I just completed my Thin Lizzy, except for the Box Sets, which I'm struggling to justify. They're hundreds of dollars on eBay and I can get them digitally. I also downsized from a house to a condo after my kids left the nest, so space is at a premium. Same for the UFO collection. I have the Live Sightings box, but the Strangers in the Night Box is excessive, although a "mere" $79. All those "Anniversary Deluxe Edition" CDs are a huge expense and I have to be VERY discriminating in which ones I get. I don't care about demos or alternate takes. If they have a live CD then that usually gets my attention.
I store my CDs alphabetized by Artist name and then chronologically. No genre distinction. I will put legacy live releases with the album that the tour is associated with. KISS soundboards, for example. Thin Lizzy has had a few of those. Still Dangerous and UK Tour '75 come to mind. It's a great hobby, but it's also a cursed one...
Great video, guys!
Just realized that Anthony strikes a resemblance to Reviewbrah from The Report of the Week! Anthony is just an older, cooler version, into music instead of fast food and doesn't wear the suits. Reviewbrah is a legend and has 2.84M subscribers on RUclips. Maybe you can have Reviewbrah on your channel and interview him about his musical interests!
GNR Skid Row are sleaze metal
Thank you! 👊
No, they’re not.
Ok you guys may be OCD but not crazy like me. I organize my discs right to left rather than left to right because when I stand in front of my racks i tilt my head and go from top to bottom the way the writing on the spine sits rather than from either reading everything upside down or going from bottom to top.....
I'm dure this makes no sense to anyone but me!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do the same with box sets and the same cds in the cd tower so I can keep the cds 💿 in a box set. I journey time I have the box set of the cds and I have the same cds 💿 in my cd 💿 tower so I can leave the cds 💿 in the box set.
I own over 5000 CDs. Currently I have them sorted by record company and numeric catalog with spines out so all if not most of my early pressing CD spines are uniformly displayed.
Recently I have mistakenly purchased CDs that are already in my collection, lol, so I have bent toying with a crazy idea of sorting A-Z with standard genres. Albeit this will take a few minutes though. 🤪
Yeah, I know make an inventory list of what I own. Well a few years ago my computer and a secondary hard drive bit the dust, both had my list.
So now I start writing an inventory list again!
My peeve is soundtracks - I collect soundtracks and I argue with myself about where to put my Prince soundtracks! Do they go with Prince the artist or do they go with my soundtrack collection?! I'm so torn!😢😅
I hate when the title of the album is printed before the artist name on the spine. Or if they usually put the artist name on the edge of the spine but then there's one random album where its in the middle and when you look at that artists discography on the shelf it doesn't perfectly line up.
All the records are alphabetical…. Solo artist goes in by last name. I don’t go as far as to breaking down the genres, everything is together. I do separate soundtracks and compilation type CDs and Christmas stuff also goes separate.
Once I got them alpha’d it’s chronological, and that includes live records and when artists do best ofs or greatest hits. When the re-release or the expanded version or the anniversary comes out, I generally keep that to the year it was put out… example… Motley Crue re-released their catalog like 5 times…. I rebought each of them everytime… they’re all places in the wall at the year they were released. Live records of it’s a 2024 release of a 1984 show… goes under 2024. I absolutely do not shove band members solo stuff under the band… I LOATHE seeing that in record stores finding Slash in the GnR section, drives me nuts. If a solo artist puts out an album under said name and includes “band” in their name… it goes alpha as a band… like Alice Cooper Band goes under “A” while Alice Cooper goes under “C.” I not as OCD with the hype sticker. I used to be insane with the white sticker they’d often put on top of the disc as a security measure to keep people from popping open the packaging and robbing the disc. Box sets vs individual discs… I’ll buy both also. Box sets I do keep separate. If there is a regular jewel case and an expanded digi-pak… often I get both. I’ll also attempt to grab the imports if there is added or different tracks. Or different artwork. Effing absolutely music collectors are OCD!!!!
I don't think it's Amazon that messes up the cases it's the shipping. They should be more careful!
Amazon not adding enough protection to keep them from getting damaged during shipping is Amazon’s fault. It’s why it’s on them to take them back and provide a replacement when damage during shipping occurs.
@@BrendonSnyderthe last few brown packages from Amazon I've received lately have no white foam at all just a flimsy paper bag.

I don’t see the point of putting the hype sticker loose in the packaging. I put them back on the front cover. I feel most don’t do this so it’s rare to see albums still with hype stickers on.

I know you guys mean well, and I enjoyed the video, but please be careful about how you talk about OCD. Severe cases like I had can ruin lives, cause depression, anxiety, and other illnesses, and can lead to hospital stays and even suicide attempts. Imagine not being able to leave your house, for example, because you have irrational thoughts that someone might harm you, or that you might harm someone. Having things in order is not OCD, the illness basically ruined every aspect of my life until I fully understood it and found the right medication and therapy for it. But as said, it took me years to understand it, so I don't blame you guys for not either. Thanks
Nah. I think you’re being way too sensitive. Just because some people suffer with OCD in a serious way, it doesn’t mean those sufferers own full usage of the term. Please don’t police other people’s language.
@JLKeener77 Google OCD. In the west it will only be diagnosed as that if it interferes with your life for at least an hour a day and causes significant distress. It is identified as one of the top worst mental illnesses. Would you say you are a bit... 'insert another severe mental illness'.
Ohhh, look it’s a… K A R E N 🤣
Very well written, explained and communicated suartgilmour4540
Thank you for sharing your views on OCD, well written, explained , communicated, and shared well done , @suartgilmour4540
Skid row is NOT glam
Drive me nuts don't care what i bought for when i get home when i get home open it on cd or album I'm more vynil than u but lots of CDs cassetts but have marker of someone's initials or names on it you see at first i hate it especially it's in great shape especially you've. Been looking for a long time artist album finally found it
I'm Anal about my collection apabetical by artist all no matter what type of music they are. from the first album to the last archival albums are cataloged by when they came out not when they were made. the other thing I'M ANAl about and am trying very slowly to fix is rebuying the albums that are from a record club or a promo. I want all my albums as they would be if I purchased them in the store. my letter A is the only letter so far that I have completed. one last thing the only albums not in my collection abc order are buy complete collection of every Number one album on the billboard 200 from 1963 to the present (in order from 1963 to today) and my box sets that don't fit with the regular CD's.
also my soundtracks are a to z by movie and my compilations are in two sections first the comps with newly recoded music a to z and then the comps with the previously released music a to z. if they have both whatever has more.
I can’t stand shrink wrap. Has to go no matter what.
I’m A-Z asshole 😂
When the writing on the spine so small or in a colour that's impossible to read is a big irritation for me.
10" records are the absolute worst. Especially bands that release 2X10" instead of a 12" LP. Grrrr!
Boxsets of CDs that are not available for stand alone purchase. Do you buy two box sets just to have them available on your wall?
It's ocd when the collection is bad because you have no taste and can't vet. That's pathological.
Anthony likes it dim so you don't see the scratches. (LOL)
Do you have the "nice price" stickers too? How about more to play, less to pay? And when you play it, say it! (LOL)
