- "Re-Vinylized" is a 30-minute documentary about independent record stores in Chicago. The film celebrates the culture of independent record stores while examining the effects of downloading and the recent resurgence of vinyl record sales. The documentary profiles a number of Chicago's independent record stores, and features interviews with store owners, employees and customers as well as insightful commentary from national music critics Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot (of National Public Radio's "Sound Opinions" program). The film was an official selection of the 2012 Chicago International Reel Shorts Film Festival.
im 14, and i have a record collection of 42! walking into a record store is always the best feeling
i still have every vinyl album and 45 i ever bought. never threw anything away. and im now going on 62 years old.
Support your local independent records store.
+James Klatt and your local drug dealer
+matchek broski every neighbourhood has one!
22 caliber
Does anyone have a non-local drug dealer?
Matchek Broski I do both.
Non-hipster People who genuinely listen to vinyl are a different breed of humanity that think different. And I’m proud to be associated with them.
Me too
Hipsters helped keep some record stores in business to be completely fair.
I don't care what category you try to wedge me in. I just plain love music. I do find it lamentable though that the popular taste is what it is.
I'm young-ish (30 years old), so I only started collecting records about 5 years ago. After getting my first player, the first album I bought was Caro Emerald's Deleted Scenes From the Cutting Room Floor.
I just inherited a bunch of records from my parents. There are about 150 LPs and about 25 singles. My parents just had them in storage, but they knew I'd appreciate having them. Some of them were originally owned by my parents when they were younger, some of them were originally owned by my grandparents (which were eventually passed on to my parents), and some of them were originally owned by my great-grandmother (which were passed on to my grandparents and then to my parents). So there are three generations worth of records here passed on to the fourth. On many of my grandparents' and great-grandmother's records, they even wrote on the back of the jacket the exact date they bought it. It's like a family time capsule. Each one is a memory, not just of the music, but of the person who owned it. So I'm really enjoying going through them. I'm cleaning them up and recording each one. I plan to put all of the recordings on an mp3 player to give to my dad. Both my grandparents (my dad's parents) recently passed away. I want to give my dad a way to still listen to his parents' and grandparents' music. I think he'll really like that.
Seems Dated. It's 2019 Vinyl has made a big come back! You should do a part 2!
I feel like vinyl is on a 7 year cycle for the last 25 -30 years of being 'dead' and then making a comeback
Did you not watch the second half of the video? Pretty much all the talk about is they return of vinyl and it's popularity.
yea its so addictive especially if you experiment with them.. i never use them to scratch but sometimes sample . im a artist/producer and record collector.. i have approx 5,000 records and i make beats as well as episodes and such.. took a break behind the scenes over the last little while and about to relaunch here are just some samples of records i have i hope you enjoy .first and foremost i do it for passion since a kid. 1 love to everyone enjoying records.. maybe alot of you have the same ones..

agreed man...
FLAC and dsd also kills' mp3's short cummings...and i got a new record this week it was compressed!
The pandemic teaches me to loved music especially the old ones and now im very obssessed to vinyl record.
Here we are 7 years later and vinyl is alive and well, some would say it's actually booming. I live in a city in northern Canada with a population of about a 1,000,000 people. There certainly is no shortage of new and used record stores in my city. I can't possibly begin to afford all of the great vinyl that's available on the market today.
4 years later and vinyl is the most sold physical media. In Japan, the medium never died out.
I lost about 20 records that I lost in a house fire,in 1993. I started my search,to replace the albums that I lost. I stopped counting at 1000,and that was quite awhile ago....... I own a lot of cassettes,and cd's......... but vinyl albums,is where it's at for me.
Playing and listening to a vinyl album was like a ceremony. Pulling the record out the record, placing it on the turntable. Using a Disc Washer and a Dust Bug setup. listening to the album, reading the lyrics, liner notes and checking out the artwork of the jacket and sometimes the record sleeve. Those things presented the full artistic experience.
Agreed. It's like smoking a pipe, vs. smoking a cigarette. The former is a ritual, with skills to be learned and apparatus to be used. The latter is just a flitting experience.
Nah I would never put any fluid cleaner on a disc , you will ruin it. Carbon fibre brush only.
@@factorylad5071 haha, what a silly way of thinking! homemade solutions can work wonders
Absolutely loved this documentary. I work a "sensible" job that sucks the soul from my body on a daily basis. I catch myself fantasizing about which album I'll pick up next several times throughout each day... And when I am forced to recognize the inescapable truth which is that my time on this earth is finite, I know that each moment I'm not running a record store is a sin. Thanks for further inspiration to lead a life of passion.
So are you running a record shop now
My home is decorated with framed albums that were pivotal to my youth. EVERYBODY who comes to my house spends a great amount if time just browsing the walls. Amazing how many people find that special one that calls to them. They'll pause and just stare at it smiling. Reach up and are compelled to touch it. Even though its behind glass you'll catch em running their fingers all over it without even realizing it. Had people stop themselves and say "Sorry man"! I just laugh and say "Hey that's not only what they're there for. That's WHY they're there".
I'm 14, I started a vinyl collection about a year ago, and my first record that I got was Queen's the Game. I have maybe 20 records now and some of the records shown in the documentary, I own. Like the first American Beatles album, the Rolling Stones album with the zipper, and London Calling by the clash.
What are you up to now Fletch
the vinyl is back, in fact it never left, just took a breath to come back with more strength, like if you are agree,
it left the ´´reel rich´´ ? ?xD üno n inö id suxD only the others do ´´möre´´ ^ ^
Vinyl will never die !
but it will melt.... lol
Don't I know it, when I was a kid I kept my records on my bedroom windowsill, until one particularly hot summer when I found they all changed shape, lol, lesson learned.
i hope
HOPKIRK : Thanksfully i hope so and all analog tech together :-)
Much respect to all the shops that held on and are thriving in 2021.
Thanks WhiskeyBender for uploading this mini doc: about the the of buying music
albums on Vinyl,CD's and MP3's.I'm old school with my music.I buy Vinyl & CD's
and record them on to tape cassettes. Peace.
I love turning people onto bands they've never heard before and them loving it and wanting it
"It's just knowing it's there. That's the most important thing."
Amen.
Idk why YT recommended this old video but I still enjoyed it
a visit to a "real" record store is always a treat.you can get lost in the records for hours and the whole time someone is asking to hear an album that you've never heard and you become educated to a whole different type of music you never had in your music world.you buy that LP and now your enjoying a new experience.so then you go back to look for more of that artist/music type and then someone is sampling another LP you just can't live w/o.It's insane,I love it!
If i ever ended up walking into one of those record stores i would end up broke, i just can't help myself with vinyl, its so beautiful.
Steve X
They are pretty and shiny
Truth!!!
this film is both relevant, and awesome all at the same time. long live vinyl.
Nice doc. I'm 58 and have been buying vinyl since 1971. I've seen it all come full circle. I had reel to reels, 8 tracks, cassettes, vinyl, cd, & mp3's. I had one full collection that I sold back in 2001 all vinyl probably close to 3000. Over the last 10 years I have been buying and reacquiring alot of what I had in my 1st collection. I buy alot of new vinyl and buy alot of used vinyl online on and in used shops around here. It is very refreshing to see vinyl come back. The negatives are the prices but if I want it I buy it.
Going on 7 years later and it's getting bigger. People are getting sick of digital copies' problems.
The current prices aren't "bad", compared to the madness of the late 90s/early 00s. CDs were easily 25 and going up to 40. And even at that point, despite being touted initially as being incredibly long lived as archival storage, people were already noticing the foil breaking down and the CD itself becoming worn from use. Vinyl is still a better archival format which is why I have a small collection from my favourite bands.
What/where were you buying?!? I was in high school at the time & buying tons of music. I remember average cds being USD $16-18, more expensive ones ~20. Cheaper ones 12. Used 4-10. I can't recall ever paying >25 for a single CD. LPs could be $16-18 but I remember most being $12. 7"s were almost always $4 new.
Ignoring inflation, I don't think the price of cds has changed much at all. Records however have become a niche special collector commodity & the price has jumped up significantly. The industry knew not as many people would buy but if they made tangible music feel more special (vinyl, box sets etc) they could charge more to a smaller niche crowd.
How do CDs become "worn" from use? Nothing touches the CD...you do know that right? I have hundreds of CDs, many are from the early 90s,never have i had one "wear" out or had "the foil" break down. I have never had one skip or not play.
@@sharonsmith2771 lucky you. Good job on taking care of them. But plenty of.people have had this experience with CDs. It was a common thing.
@@Jay_Kayy you didnt answer my question though, how do CDs become worn from use? There is no stylus to wear out the CD,so please explain. I just realised you didnt make the original comment. I was actually asking "volatile Sky" who did not respond.
I used to play my parents records all the time so they bought me my own record player when I was 9 years old, I guess so I would live their stereo alone, this was in 1968. I went out and purchased my first record that day, Vladimir Horowitz Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.2, that started my collection, never cared for CD’s, only to play them in the car maybe. Today my collection has grown to over 15 thousand albums; it includes all genres, from classical to jazz, rock, vintage Cuban orchestras from the 1930’s, 40’s & 50’s to Big Band and beyond on 33, 45 and rare 78's. I still have my first record. I’ll never change my records for anything other format.
My favourite record store employee is a Jedi knight, a mentor, and a best friend. I couldn’t imagine music without him.
Sometimes I become sentimental when I look back in time, seeing older movies, seeing old documentaries and so on. In this case not, we have 2020 and all this changed. Vinyl is back and when you look back 8 years you see how good this is.
and after covid pandemic... vinyl records are here to stay for over other formats! Great!
As a vinyl collector myself I enjoyed this video, Thank you.
I used to work in 2 record shops back in the 80’s and it was a dream job!!!!
I grew up with vinyl in the early 80s and just started getting back into it. It's feels so much more special to listen to a record than listening to music digitally. Something about a vinyl that I just love so much.
The first vinyl that i evr bought or received was just two years ago. I always was intrigued to listen to vinyls and the turntable that we had has been broken for more than 10 years so my parents bougth me and my brothers a turntable and they gave me my first record which was the Minor Threat LP.
that's a great album!
It’s mental how records are coming back
Seems like everyday its picking up more and more. I just hope the new generation sticks with it and doesn't treat it as a fad.
I just don’t understand the people who could possibly give this a thumbs down. I simply don’t. You have obviously never owned nor formed a relationship with music through a record shop. And!.. vinyl is doing very well as it is by far the best selling physical medium for music. You can buy it from Walmart and drug stores! (Buy from smaller shops as they are the true vanguards.) Regardless, this is all about the beauty of vinyl, record stores, and how much better music is when you buy it from a brick and mortar record shop. It’s the best. I could have a long, passionate conversation with absolutely everyone in this mini documentary because we all belong to the same sub culture & community.
First album is the American version of High Voltage by AC/DC, but I bought it on CD. First album on vinyl was Band of Gypsies by Jimi Hendrix.
What has drawn me towards vinyls is Christmas, that old school, small town christmas feel! Yet to buy my first Record Player
I wish new vinyl prices were the same as CDs! But i'll go broke anyway lol
True
I love vinyl. I can remember as a kid I grew up listening to my parents record collections. My mum's was stuff like Isley Brothers, Charlie Rich, Shadows, and my dad's was Elvis Presley. My dad got me into Elvis in a big way and I'm now a big Elvis fan. Cd's are good but once you've popped a disc into the player and press play, that's it really. With vinyl there's just something about taking a record out of the sleeve, placing it on the turntable and hearing that click as the needle goes into the groove. And after about 20 minutes you get up and flip the record over, but that adds to the fun of playing records. You just don't get that with CDs. Long live vinyl.
I bought a few Dolly Parton Vinyls a few months ago and now I am hooked!
I'm a 90s kid. I loved going to the music store. Used to have such a great CD collection, sadly I sold off over half of it over the years. Still have close to 200. Just put together a new stereo together this year and got my first turntable. Now that you can convert vinyl to mp3s I started collecting vinyl. Just got about 300 hand me down albums so I'm well on my way to having a nice collection. I really do wish there were more stores around but I live in the rurals so only thing I got is wall Mart. Still every grocery shopping day I stop and look through the vinyl.
There's no substitute for a well run local recordstore with high quality, knowledge and customer service.
I feel very fortunate to have experienced the fun of going into independent record stores and finding some gems I was looking for and also the surprises that awaited.
Yes, @ 17:50 . The Kinks Muswell Hillbillies. First reissue I bought when I got back into vinyl a few years ago. What a brilliant record.
Record stores should be put in a historical protective act. by the time i'm 30 in 15 years most of these places will sadly die and i love my records the music you can't explain to someone who uses mp3s.
Records are like works of art and some people collect them for the artwork on the covers as much as for the music and part of the appeal is also the tactile aspect of owning them. It's so good to see young folk getting into it for the first time. That's what'll keep it going.
In 2020 albums reached the highest sales albums have ever achieved
"weird guy from sweden" WHY THEY CALLIN ME OUT LIKE THAT!??
My first record was Johnny Cash on a Sun label record. I bought it because of the song-I Walk the Line. Still have that record :)
This is 2020, and I am glad to say that Vinyls are back!
We need a 2024 update. Countries like Japan where the medium didnt die and even now where vinyl is the most sold physical medium once again.
i love the feeling when your searching through a bunch of records and you find that one record you were not expecting to find and your just like oh shit i gotta have this.
I have a HUGE vinyl collection...Buying them since I was a teenager in the 70s...one time I bought a CD of a record I already had so that I could play it in my car...but it sounded flat...I was gravely disappointed...so I recorded my vinyl record to a CD...it was better, but still didn't have all the ups and downs that the vinyl did...
Nothing can ever replace that awesome feeling of flipping through stacks & boxes & piles of records...The smell of the vinyl. That feeling you get when your flipping through & spot that 1 record you have been looking for. 🙌📻🎶
It's coming back in my era 21 century ❤️🤘🤘🤘
The last comment says it all..."It's just knowing it's there...it's the most important thing". I cherish my 5000 LP collection, which I started collecting about 1968....and it grew to about 20,000 at one point...sold a lot of it on Ebay, which I do regret at times, but at the same time, I know those records went to good homes, and I know someone is still enjoying them. And, I still have enough LPs to listen to!!! CDs and MP3s are okay for the car or computer, but like it's said in this film, "There's just something about putting on a Vinyl LP and listening to it, flipping it over after 20 minutes, and just enjoying the warmth and sound of the music." Just not too much that's better than that!! I always hope there will be records stores to go to!!
DamGreek
I was up there too
About 10,000
Let them all go, big mistake
20,000? Good god! How long did it take you to amass that amount? Buying 500 records a year would take 40 years! I'm curious.
@@ralex3697 No it's not. 10,000 or 20,000 is just too many.
Reeeecords - I love them for 40 years!
Thanks for putting this on. As the former owner of Blasters in Kissimmee, FL, I applaud any one that has owned or supported any independent Record Store from Providence RI to South Beach Miami. And much respect to the Winter Music Conference for also keeping vinyl alive. Peace.
This was a blast to watch! I'm a Chicago record store supporter. Something I truly love is the willingness to help a customer, whether the store gets the sale or not. I stopped into Logan Hardware in search of an album, and they searched their database to find out that Dusty Groove on Ashland had a copy. I called Dusty Groove to verify, asked for a few more titles, and they were bagged up and ready for me when I walked in.
I inherited my fathers record collection and it kick started everything for me. Spent several days going through the collection, cleaning and re-sleeving 100's of records. I was hooked. My happiest moments are discovering records stores and going in to find my next grail album.
Before the internet killed the art of record hunting I used to visit America from the UK. I would pick a city get a transit pass and a map on which I would mark the record shops then trawl through them all. Chicago was the best! I mean cheap and loads of variety. Last time I went was about 1995 I think. Happy days.
Hipsters or not, record stores will always be around because once you form a relationship with vinyl through a record shop, you will always be back.
First records I bought were the red singles album by The Beatles and More Hot Rocks by The Rolling Stones. Didn't even own a record player till about a year later but I would just read the covers and like the feel of the vinyl. Two years later now and I've recently hit 200 records in my collection!
Second Hand Tunes, Val’s Halla, Dr. Wax (Hyde Park) JR’s, Jimmy’s (87th Ashland) all got a lot of my money!!! I still love going to physical stores...you can stumble upon some real gems.
I grew up in the 1960s - 1970s, so in my early years of course records were The medium for music.
I never gave up on them, never got rid of them, and I still buy them at estate sales and thrift stores to get odd stuff on the cheap.
But --- CDs beat the hell out of records for sound quality, and I will buy material on them preferentially.
The experience of flipping through the bins at stores is a priceless part of life,
and is much missed in these days when there aren't so many stores to visit.
the first three records i bought were John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" and "Blue Train", and Chet Baker's "Chet Baker Plays and Sings".
Awesome Doc
Long Live Vinyl
My first LP was “The Monkees Headquarters on Colgems Records in 1967. My mother got me my first record player that year with Frontier trading stamp she collected from the grocery store. That started a lifetime hobby of buying records, then 8 track and cassette tapes and compact discs. The past three years I bought a turntable and stated record collecting again. Like others I sold my original record collection when I lost interest in records and bought CD’s. I sure wish I hadn’t sold my records because I had a collection that could never be replaced.
the first lp for me was merely by accident, because that day i did not have enough money " like many teens" for a cd, but then i stumbled upon the allman brothers band idle wild south. i thought it was cool and wallah i began collecting and developing a deep sense of appreciation for the art and format of the vinyl LP, and now just a couple years later i have thousands of records. It's addictive.
"Anything truly good in life requires some effort." That quote is by me. It's what I've come up with to help explain to those who can't understand why people still listen to vinyl or CDs or tapes. The physical music format is a big part of the listening experience. I do have Spotify premium and I use it as a means of listening to new artists and if I like what I hear, I track down a means to purchase a physical copy. So the effort I speak of is, finding that artist online, purchasing the physical copy, and playing it through your stereo. Even just playing it on your stereo is a ritual in itself. And it's enjoyable as hell.
In An Aeroplane Over the Sea was the first record I bought. No regrets.
First record I bought was when I was 14 in 2008, it was Rumours by Fleetwood Mac for 1$
michael carrigan Go and try to buy the same record today, it will cost you 40 bucks for new one.
how can it be 1$ in 2008, that's recently
@@tranhoanghieu4576 surely not new
michael carrigan
I bought that in 1977 release day
Timeless record
Michail Zorné it's £15.99 everywhere I've looked
one of the best documentary's on music i have seen in years, thank you:-D
really nice documentary, I buy vinyl & cd by internet (amazon, ebay, distros) but the experience of being on a Record Store, mainly the small and specialized record stores , the talk, the search, has no fuckin´ price, I buy records since 1986 and I can still remember all my afternoons saturday in No Limits Records, listening and listening music and bands, just to buy one vinyl or cassette. Ten years ago I opened my own record store "Undeground and Below" pure Metal, were a couple of the Best years of my life. Thanks for so many to the music, the physical format, the passion. Long life to vinyl ! :)
My first record was SLAYER REIGN IN BLOOD!
Slayyyerrr
I still gotta get that one
You know
Great documentary I owned Blue Note Records in North Miami Beach for 25 years and can totally relate. Long live the indi record shops. My first 45 was Jerry Lee Lewis "High school Confidential" and the 1st LP was Bob Dylan/Bob Dylan..
I Am A Vinyl Junkie!!! There, I've said it!! Love this documentary!! Love my vinyl!! Okay, newcomers, it's time to jump on the bandwagon!!
Fantastic documentary! Thanks for making.
Awesome documentary I really miss going to a record store and holding an lp and speaking to the owner or employees I hope they do make a comeback.
Great documentary on LPs.
I always visit my local record stores with my coffee and immerse myself. When I go I usually do my hw or know what I want to purchase. Sometimes I just go in because my passion is music and I want to see the physical artwork.
Unfortunately the new generation was instant gratification and cannot fathom the idea of something physically created by a human being. I mean it must be so hard to physically move ones ass to change a LP much less putting in a CD.
I had the experience of hearing cd and vinyl heard on a high end $400k club system. The dj played all vinyl except for one track that hadnt hit stores yet. The sound was like night and day. Its why i still buy vinyl to this day. Great memories. Monday i was at the record stores hunting the new releases i had heard at that club in the weekend. What alot of people dont realise is cds have the frequency levels capped in the top and bottom end to accommodate the total time limits of the cd (usually around 74 mins) The mastering engineer could record full frequency to the cd but it would have limiting factors so the amount of potential tracks that would fit would not align with industry requirements.The same concept is the mp3, compress the file by losing data to fit more tracks on the available space. The trade off is diminishing sound quality. Others may want to elaborate. Chime in by all means.
The first record I bought (actually my Grandma gave me the money to buy it)
was when I was a 2nd grader in 1985, it was "The TV Theme Song Sing-Along Album", purchased at the local K-Mart. I still have it to this day...
Terry Jacks Seasons in the sun and have no idea how old I was.I am 54 now and was a kid then. My parents had records and I played mine on their record player. I now have all their records plus about 1000 more..
Almost 17 getting a record player for christmas and records for my birth day. Cant get enough of this music. its expensive though.$20 - $50 for a new album.
find records used it's much cheaper that way
Just make sure they're in really good condition.
Waste of money but of that's your thing ...have at it
Rhythm nation records, Doncaster, England RIP. Spent every Saturday in there between 1999 & 2003
5:06 “You’ve got a generation that doesn’t even know what the experience of going to a record store is like.”
Hey! I’m 21 and I love collecting records! But you have a point. I didn’t grow up going to record stores. I’ve mostly gotten CD’s or downloaded. But then after a while I realized you can lose your downloads. It’s better to have a physical copy. For the past 6 years I’ve been going every other weekend to my local record store. I have at least a couple hundred vinyl albums or 45 singles. I mostly get 80’s pop. 💕
Plus a lot of artists nowadays are releasing all or many their albums on Vinyl plus a digital download code included inside.
that's funny he said "people wouldn't pay that much for a cd" my brother buys vinyl sometimes, but he rarely buys new because of the price, I just love vinyl for every reason every one else who loves vinyl does. job well done on this doc
well what I think the major problems with record sales is these days whether they be CD's or vinyl is, is that many records aren't cheap anymore and no one has much spare money to just buy anything other than exactly what they're looking for and if they wanna discover more things they want they'll go to the internet and check out new music themselves and most likely buy online if they know they can get a better deal there or a reasonable one if they can't stop in. Another thing is, is that music just gets more and more difficult to get into with so much available and anyone that isn't heavily into music in general or just starting off without an access point into any kind of music is just left overwhelmed and confused by it all in a giant information overload they can't even begin to comprehend so they just write it all off as garbage they don't want without knowing anything and throw the idea out the window. That last reason is very evident with my father for example, he's a shining example of someone who just can't get into any new music because he's just confused by it. He'll sometimes buy a greatest hits CD or something from Best Buy or some other big name store that has the worst selection on earth. And he'll only listen to what he already knows anything else just isn't "the good stuff" to him. Being passionate about what I am in music, it's so frustrating but that's what has happened over the years. Many have become alienated by it, don't understand it, don't have the money, and don't have the passion. There's you're reason right there why most people aren't making much from physical sales anymore and it's gone under to almost everyone but those in more niche markets.
chris lows, you are spot-on about a number of things. Unless something tangible like vinyl is sold, as was said, you have nothing in your hand, and if the software changes enough in the future, older, legacy mp3s may no longer be supported. Computer & Software companies are notorious for this. All it takes is a line of protocol or other code to wipe out thousands of songs....unless you choose not to upgrade, then you cannot use the new files...someday it will come.
Perhaps it is because of too many causal listeners and music fans, but its back, back, back to the 50's, in that it is a Singles market, aside from those of us that invest in vinyl LPs.
-Cheers
Actually, this is something I've always been vocal about with iTunes... yes, I've bought a LOT of music via iTunes and their selection is MASSIVE (Despite that I've lost more than a few albums because they no longer carry it and take it out of my library, but I digress) but the thing about it is that if I don't know what I'm looking for, I'm not going to find it. It's very specific when looking for an album and unless I know what specific album I'm looking for, I'm not going to find it. Yea... I hope that makes sense.
The guy with the guitar looks like the classic definition of a modern hipster!
Vinyl for the audiophiles that love nostalgia.
Great Documentary!
I love Vinyls, cassetes, CD's I'm a collector keep it up 👍🏼😉
This is a very well-made documentary. It's informative and entertaining. Good stuff!
"It's just knowing it's there." Haha! This was great, but too short!
I picked up 3 45's " Time Of The Season " , " Spill The Wine " & "Long Cool Woman In A Black 👗 " For a kid , I had good taste ! Wish I had picked up Big 🌟 as a cutout !
This makes me very sad. I can remember going to my local record shop (which closed a few years ago) to choose a recording of Das Lied von der Erde. To start with it was just the owner and myself, but after a while some other customers wandered over and gave me their opinion. They even recommended options that we had not thought of. There was a social aspect to buying music and to listening to it which has now disappeared. It is a great shame.
im 13, my first buy was when i was ten, The Beach Boys Pet Sounds. In my opinion, its the greatest album ever performed. The shear fact of that it was all the music was all the work of the genius brian wilson it makes it so much better. God bless the vinyl. I then bought Odessey Oracle. I now have a record collection of over 50 lps and singles
With vinyl you literally own art, with the album covers being a huge part , it's the only format that you get a displayable piece of art , sure you have CD album art but you just can't beat the look of a record album cover
Great job. Really enjoyed the documentary.
Fine video to watch!!! I have many albums from the 70s. I miss that time of good music.
Greetings from Holland!
it is so cool to see young and middle age pepole getting on so well!
