Nice video. Agree the re-emergence of vinyl is puzzling. Having said that some vinyl reissues sound fantastic. The Rhino Doors LA Woman and also CSN&Y Deja Vu sound great. One of the best is Prefab Sprout Jordan The Comeback restored to double vinyl as it always should have been. One last comment though on CDs. I like the medium but do find one major difference is that you can crank the volume on vinyl and you get more detail. If you keep raising the volume on CD it becomes harsh and uncomfortable to listen to.

There is a point where the process is over thought to the extent that the enjoyment of music becomes secondary. I'm not going to get involved in the whats better debate because its boring and in most cases the feelings are too strong on either side to make any discussions rather fruitless. Just relax and enjoy the music however you listen to it and try to keep that always first.

One is eight times more expensive than the other and this is what really matters to people. The rest is audiophile fetichism.

Thankfully a lot of my cds are from last century, but I can't say I suffer when I listen to the modern discs at 90 dB, though I accept they are sometimes heavily compressed. My friends insist their vinyl sounds better too, but they would, wouldn't they? After buying into all of that faff you're not going to be unbiased, which is why vinyl lovers don't mind having to flip records mid-symphony, or listen to surface noise, or pay through the nose. My humble system sounds great to me, even the £2 cds I buy on eBay. I'd much rather be buying twenty cds a month than one piece of vinyl, for sure.

it might not be a coincidence that Dead Man's Shoes comes to mind.

I have a few albums on both vinyl and CD (original vinyl pressings and original non-remastered CD releases). Whilst the vinyl does sound good, the CD version consistently sounds better. That's true whether playing the original CD or a digital 'rip' from the disc played via a streamer (over the network, not Spotify etc). Albums I've compared like this include some of ABBA's later releases (Super Trouper, The Visitors etc), Chris De Burgh's "Flying Colours", Chris Rea "Dancing With Strangers", a couple of Carpenters albums, and even the 1987 vinyl and CD releases of Now 10. In general, if the original recording was analogue, the difference will be negligible. The CD sounds 'cleaner', no pops, clicks, surface noise or distortion, but the tonal balance is the same. However if the recording was 'tracked' digitally (eg 'The Visitors') the CD leaves the vinyl standing. For reference I'm using a Rega Planar 3 with Ortofon 510 cart and Pro-Ject Phono Box II for vinyl, and a Denon Blu-Ray player as a transport (BD and DVD players actually give a more stable digital output when playing a CD) or a Squeezebox Touch to play ripped CDs, both using the SPDIF digital output. These sources all run into an Arcam AVR360 receiver, powering Monitor Audio Silver RX6 speakers. (Actually the RX6 7.1 system.) I've compared in stereo direct mode as well as with the PLIIx Music surround mode. The digital source definitely sounds better. I hear zero difference between playing the CD on the Denon and playing the digital files ripped from that CD through the Squeezebox. This is to be expected - it's the same binary data being fed into the same DAC in the same receiver.

No " Little T & A "????

The best Doors album versions are probably the CD-SACD remixed versions, of which I have two (their 1st & last with Morrison). They eliminate the stereo master tape (which is a safety copy in the case of the 1st album) & some noise along with it. They sound very "immediate" to me.

I enjoyed your impressions. I'd argue the loudness wars had already kicked in a good few years before 2002...

I spy Germ Free Adolescents in the background. As a fellow 60 yo there was nothing germ free about my adolescence 😂

Gta scenes and style was from this film Geraldine moffat is the mother of the video makers sam and dan houser.

Some psychologist must know 'why' but vinyl is just so much more engaging than CDs or Streaming.

Realistically if you've a large physical music collection - how many times if you rotate your albums are you going to play an individual cd or vinyl whether it cost £10 or £80 ? The new MoFi vinyl pressing of Michael Jackson's Off the Wall is about £130 !!! 🤯

You nailed it with CDs causing tinnitus if you turn them up. AP records are wonderful. I have many now and I have no worries as to if they’ll be worth the extra when I order one.

You can copy a CD probably the biggest difference between Vinyl and CD. Remember long ago i toke two CDs from same artists and then erased the songs that were not to my taste and then made my own double cd into a single CD with only good songs. CDs open up windows to put effort into taking several version of the same album and then combining all the best song versions into a single CD. Ive often found Vinyl a very limiting format. Ofourse the copying ability is likely why collectors dont like CD, and why second hand CDs will likely never be worth anything

There are swings and roundabouts to both mediums but if CD had come along first no-one would have gone on to invent vinyl.....

I like this video and will add to my saves as; One must understand that a piece of media (recording) is a combination of all the ingredients, starting with the source. Even the best source can be ruined buy anything that follows. I will add that the MoFi issue in my opinion, is one of naivety, in that one must understand a master tape can be digital, analog, or a copy!! Not all Audiophile Pressings are better....

Listen to a CD on the new Exposure CD player and it’s usually superb for me. I had the analogue productions amused to death vinyl. I sold it to much surface noise much preferred the CBS mastersound CD gold…

As an American, this is one of my favorites

the police amazing band and a great cd box set. cheers from downunder

masterpiece. ihave 3 double albums 2 cd. like ur. story telling enjoy u down to earth approach im ur vintage. im going to sub u. from land downunder. dont make music like that no more cheers cd vs vunyl. i like both. but cd gets the nod. great music room

"In 1999 they started using compression"(On CDs). Is that a general fact?

You did a good job on the video! Thanks. There was a time many decades ago, when I just searched out recordings that had great sound and if they had good music that was great too. Of course it should be the other way around; and now it is. Probably the most impressive lps sonnically are the Direct To Disc lps, which had their heyday in the late 1970s to around 1990. Unlike half speed mastered lps, which were mastered from a tape recording, the direct discs were directly from the microphones to a cutting lathe; skipping the tape recorder and the compromises it brings to the sound. Many of these direct to disc lps can be found in used record stores with some difficulty, or on ebay or Discogs easily. Below, here are some of the better ones with great sound and good to great music. They will be a big improvement over your cds; at least until you can close the gap and get a really great cd player. Most. are direct discs but I threw in a few that aren't, but still great. *I've Got The Music In Me-Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker...Sheffield Lab 2. Make sure it is Lab 2 not The Treasury Series issue. * Straight From The Heart-John Klemmer....on Nautilus Super Disc. *Trackin'-Lew Tabackin....RCA Direct To Disc *Secret Of The Andes-Victor Feldman...on Nautilus Super Disc *Take The A Train....on Toshiba Pro Use *Blood Sweat And Tears Super Disk label. Not to be confused with Nautilus Super Disc. 2 different labels. *Aja-Steely Dan...the original ABC pressing *Hell Freezes Over-The Eagles. The lp and the cd both sound great. A cd with really great sound is the old Grammy Award winning recording Two Against Nature by Steely Dan The lps should be findable used or NOS on the internet for between $15 to $20 for used & near mint. More for still sealed. Enjoy.

Vinyl has turned into a scam. Fleecing people with garish coloured vinyls and "high quality". I am fairly sure many collectors never play the record at all.

...and CDs sound better, forever.

I can tell you when the vinyl is far more expensive than the CD I just get the CD.

No its not. Its not even the best Stones album. Sticky Fingers And Let it Bleed are better.

Public Eye shows what is completely wrong with drama on television these days. Endless detective by numbers dramas and insipid rubbish like Madame Blanc Mysteries and Father Brown. Drama commissioners are so obsessed with "yoof" and pushing forward awful actors like dreary Nicola Walker as an example. Public Eye at its height captured the day to day problems people were enduring in their lives. This might sound ridiculous but instead of doing Law & Order UK Bradley Walsh would have made a decent Frank Marker if there had been a serious attempt at a remake of the series. Walsh's portrayal of DS Ronnie Brooks reminded me at times of Frank Marker. Bradley Walsh would have been in his 40's when making Law & Order UK as was the case when Alfred Burke was in the Public Eye 1970's series. In all honesty can you imagine someone trying to pitch an idea to TV commissioners about a down at heel Enquiry Agent?

Wrong ending.

Thank you. I learned so much from this video. I'd fallen for the press portrayal of the break up. And it's sad to see that George does in subtle ways undermine the contributions of Andrew. But I wasn't there so who am I to judge. Still, great video.

Thank you. Finally a thoughtful and culturally nuanced deep dive into these films. I'll continue on to your other videos.

I'm not sure it's the best, but it's certainly a brilliant and unforgettable experience.

I'm sorry but i liked to old look better.

It's a lovely little house and reminded me so much of my sister's old rental in western France. They bought a fixer-upper just around the corner and have just finished the renovation. I don't really have any suggestions to make as I wouldn't make any changes. I wish you well with getting the house the way you like it.

The most interesting thing in Get Carter, is on the train up to Newcastle, his assassin is in the same carriage as Carter, you can see the ring, Carter was a dead man walking before he even got up north.

It looks like you have a winner here with all of that beautiful wood flooring, ceiling & trim! That's not easy to find, especially unpainted & reasonably cared for. I don't think I'd switch the kitchen/living rm. simply because of the utilities you'd have to put in to do so to have what is seemingly a smaller space for cooking, but I'm a big kitchen person as well. On the upstairs walls that bend inward, I did a very nice paint striping effect in a room I had with different shades of calm, blue, thick, horizontal striping with the darkest being at the base. It really livened up the room & it just took a few colors & painting tape/ruler to do the effect. Maybe consider that on the wall without the window and just use a nice solid on that lower block area of the wall where the window is.

This is a TINY house? It doesn't seem tiny.

Well, for the bathroom on the main floor, I would take down the wall that separates the to rooms, and make it one big bathroom and put your washer and dryer in there also. For the stairs, I would put plexiglass to inclose the steps. That way you still have lights shining through. And take your doors off that go into the living room and the dinning room/ kitchen.

I suggest changing your camera mode so that it doesn’t look like we’re in a fish bowl. Other than that, I think it’s a lovely house. I like the kitchen cabinets.

Brilliant movie. Everyone in the film is a despicable human being. Best line = "We won't be collecting our fees". Tragically, the U.K. is returning to being this dark and foreboding country where people want to die.

Amazing content! I love your videos and the creativity behind your ideas. I believe your thumbnails could take your channel to the next level and attract even more viewers. As a professional thumbnail designer, I'd be happy to create a custom sample for you. If you're interested, just let me know, and we can discuss how I can help elevate your channel's visuals

Your house looks really cosy. I think it's a great idea to swap your living room and kitchen around - especially if you put in those double doors, you'll be able to chill out on your sofa while looking out on your garden. Love your minimalist bedroom too !

Had the pleasure of showing one of my younger mates this the other night. To watch the awe on him. A real film with real people. An edge of violence not shown these days. Bleak and unrelenting. Understated and so well written

Petra Markham only had a few scenes as Doreen Carter, but what happened to her character was the key to everything which happened in the film. She played It brilliantly, especially the scene at the wake: quietly controlled grief exploding into rage at the offending mourner, hurling her drink in his face. Tony Beckley made a memorable flash gangster as Peter the Dutchman, and Ian Hendry gave his all as Eric. Credit also to John Osborne as Cyril Kinnear. A classic.

"Carter takes a train" 💎🎼💎

It's not Performance. Is it? Eh?

Couldnt agree more.

Raw and crude, British R&B evangelism at its finest. First heard this album as a 5-year-old, have always had a copy. Still a great listen.

I’ve watched it probably 20 times. Enjoyed it every time.

The main problem with this film is that it makes absolutely no sense. The central tenet is about Carter returning to his Geordie roots. But Caine's version of Carter is a quintessential Cockney. It might seem like a pedantic detail but actually it totally undermines the truth of almost every scene in the film.
