Just returned to music after 40+ years. What a rush. Ive got a 50 yr old turntable that is awesome. Ive got CD's and Cassette tapes as well so I well covered. Long may vinyl be around. Its like rolling a cigarette yourself, its not about just the finished product but the preparation and drama that goes beforehand. Every pop and crackle has a history and a story to tell. Everyone in the documentary showed a palpable enthusiasm and dare I say fondness for vinyl that I don't think can be mirrored across the other formats.
i think streaming is the worst invention as sound quality is passable where as cd vinyl and minidisc is far more superior sounding and i think vinyl will put streaming into the past
OMG I know this feeling. Ever watched the scene where she shoots the monster and 5' later it raises from the DEAD only to cut her to pieces ??? Well, it took Vinyl the Sonic Goo 30 yrs or more to do the same with music. We had left it for dead.. Now, we stab it with our digital knives but we just can't kill the Bea(s)t.. Dead by vinyl - I didn't know I'd live to see this..
Lies. I'll let you listen to 128kbs mp3 versus 320kbps mp3 (blind test). 90% of the time you would not hear the difference. Same with wave files versus 320kbps mp3 or FLAC.
Hey, music aficionados, can anyone tell me the song at roughly 1 hour 17 and again at about 1 hour 30 (female voice, kind of dream poppy)? Thanks in advance!
Kris....it is an absolute honor to know you and build your basses...your musical knowledge is astounding...this documentary is just a little slice of how monumental you are!!!.
I am a vinyl collector and the reason is: It is a warmer sound, the cover art size and the beautiful art, the ritual of playing the record, with friends over and the experience and conversations you have playing records, it is fun collecting it like a treasure hunt. There are so many good bands you forget about, especially through 65-79
Love it. Retirement can be freedom to some. They receive pensions, have free time, can try different things every day without worrying. What a lifestyle!
Here in my country, the Philippines, another thing that keeps retirees busy is taking care of their grandchildren. Having had experienced being cared & assisted by my grandparents growing up, I can easily understand now why they say it makes them feel young when they're with youngsters. I'm not yet a grandparent. But I have my nieces. Apparently, the said feeling seems real.
@@lot48films As an Asian, it is my view that this good, old practice is worth keeping. It keeps the strong bond between family members intergenerationally, cultivates openness, & the infusion of good values & wisdom from the old to the modern.
I can't listen to my vinyls right now because I don't have a turntable and even if I had a full setup, I live with people who don't like my taste in music. I have to listen to all my music on spotify either with headphones or in the car, but I'm still picking up new albums that I think are good enough to own and one day I shall listen to them properly.
"Idle minds are a playground for the devil," the old adage states. These senior entrepreneurs have busy minds. May their thoughts go not futile. Blessings on all seniorpreneurs! Lots of love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from my end--the Philippines!
My mom, after retirement, works with me now in our egg production agroventure. She sorts the eggs. Lots of love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from my end--the Philippines!
As a young person who just got into vinyl I found this film excellent. Personally it's less about the sound quality and more about the overall experience with the music and tangibility of the art. Can't wait to start collecting more!
Vinyl is now over priced, I will not pay todays prices for the music I love much as I want to. CD's provide me with the same music, clean without crackles and pops and stained covers. It started 2 years ago when prices went mad.
All the myths about CDs are just bs it's is the most convenient and highest quality physical media, true it thinks it's better to buy records of pre digital mastering era 70s and early 80s, since those were designed to sound a certain way
THE SHORTCOMINGS OF VINYL ARE THE VERY REASON CDS TOOK OFF IN THE 1980S. KIDS TODAY HAVE AN UNREALISTIC AND OVER ROMANTICISED VIEW OF VINYL AND THE HISTORY BEHIND IT. AS EVERYONE DID THAT GREW UP IN THE 1960S I COLLECTED VINYL. THAT WAS ALL WE HAD. WE LIVED WITH ISSUES. VIRTUAL NEW LPS THAT STILL SKIPPED AND WARPED EVEN HANDLED CAREFULLY. WE DEALT WITH COLLECTIONS STORED ON BUCKLING WALL SHELVES OR IN STORAGE CUBES. GREAT IF YOU LIVED IN A HOUSE WITH A SPARE ROOM. AS WE COULDN'T PLAY VINYL IN THE CAR WE HAD TO TAPE LPS FOR PORTABILITY WHEN CASSETTES BECAME AVAILABLE. AND JUST GOING FROM ONE TRACK TO ANOTHER INVOLVED DELICATELY LIFTING THE TONE ARM AND HOPING IT FOUND ITS MARK. NOT TO MENTION EVERY TIME AN LP IS PLAYED ITS GRADUALLY WORN AND DEGRADED CDS WERE A GIFT FROM HEAVEN. I HAD CHANGED FORMATS FROM VINYL TO TAPE BY THIS TIME BUT WAS READY TO FULLY EMBRACE A HUGE STEP UP. OVERALL BETTER AND CLEARER SOUND REGARDLESS OF THIS LUDITE ANALOG IS BETTER THAN DIGITAL ARGUMENT. NO WEAR FACTOR (I HAVE MANY CDS FROM THE MID 80S THAT SOUND LIKE NEW) EASY TRACKING AT HOME OR ON MY CAR CD PLAYER, NO NEED TO DUPLICATE ONTO TAPE OR FILES ,EASY STORAGE (1200 CDS ON 2 BOOK CASES VS SHELVING AND MILK CRATE ISSUES FOR 1200 LPS) AND AS COLLECTIBLE AS VINYL EVER WAS. THE LAST COLLECTIBLE FORMAT. IT NEVER GOT BETTER THAN CD. TRYING TO IMPROVE ON THE CD IS LIKE TRYING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL.VINYLS APPEAL IS MAINLY TO YOUNG PEOPLE WITH AN UNREALISTIC APPROACH TO THE ISSUES VINYL POSES,AND PROBABLY LIVING AT HOME WITH ROOM TO INDULGE OR LIVING IN CRAMPED QUARTERS BETWEEN THEIR CRATES OR SHELVES ,OR TO OLD VINYL LUDITES THAT LIVE FOR NOSTALGIA AND RITUAL.
Didn't have a record player as a child because my parents didn't have the money. I had seen a record player at an aunts house tho and was curious about it at the time but now as an adult I have a plan for a system and records too.
Yeah you can not beat a proper record because it's so the exact recording not like the cd this has a simulation of a record and the quality of a CD is not as good and yeah I ❤ going out to see and buy a record and getting it home and bung it on the deck and just listen to what I got that day.😊

Soy un nuevo fan absoluto del vinilo. Nací en los 80's, época del cassette, las radiocassetes mastodónticas, el walkman... Década en la que el vinilo transicionó-evolucionó hacia el CD. Lo gracioso es que tuvimos en casa un tocadiscos que prácticamente no usábamos. Digamos que el cassette fue el formato más popular en aquel momento porque te permitía lo que no te permitía el vinilo; llevarte la música a cualquier parte. Sin duda fue el formato que más disfrutamos los chicos y chicas de aquella época. Y fue una lástima, porque nos perdímos disfrutar lo maravilloso que era realmente poder escuchar música en un tocadiscos y de toda su liturgia tan única. Pienso que el viinilo ha de continuar evolucionando tecnológicamente para alcanzar la excelencia, mejorar el formato, el material o el proceso de grabado, que le permita romper con sus limitaciones técnicas y físicas sin tener que abandonar, eso sí, de toda su esencia ni de nuestros tocadiscos. Ojalá el futuro del vinilo se encuentre en el vinilo HD y podamos continuar disfrutando de esta maravilla durante muchos años más.
I don't hate records, I grew up with them, I was fortunate enough to have a "proper" turntable/magnetic cartridge since the age of 8 (while most kids had shitty record players with ghastly ceramic cartridges), and I still have a few of my old records. I vividly remember how awesome The Human League DARE sounded through my Sennheiser headphones back in '81. I have a high-quality turntable now - bought several years ago when Technics decided to cease production of the SL-1200, mostly use it professionally, for digitizing clients' records. Turntables look cool - well, some do, some don't! However, nothing is more infuriating than hearing people say it sounds better than digital. It doesn't. It has its charms, sure, but it's categorically and measurably inferior to digital. FACT! The number of times that the dreaded Crosley and its shite ceramic cartridge makes an appearance in this video is somewhat distressing, too! Dear God...no!! Send that thing back to the sweatshops of China, where it belongs.
I guess sounds "Better" is pretty subjective. Sounds warmer or clearer may be more in line with what was meant. I love listening to records and hearing new details that I never heard in the digital version. Van Morrison's Into the Mystic is a good example for me. There seems to be so much more depth to the record than the digital version. You may not like Crosley and tgheir lack of quality but it's hard to argue that they have done as much as anyone for the resurgence of vinyl in the past decade or so.
@@lot48films Well, there are perhaps individual instances where the vinyl version of a song sounds subjectively "better", but that's in spite of it being vinyl, not because of it being vinyl. Had that very same vinyl master tape been copied to CD, you'd still be hearing whatever it was you heard on the record (minus all the clicks, pops, surface noise etc.) Vinyl is SO variable - no two records sound exactly the same, records from different pressing plants sound different, phono cartridges vary enormously, stylus wear affects sound, etc etc. For me, that's not good enough. I remember very well buying new LPs in the 80s, and HOPING they sounded good. Many didn't! Never had that issue with CDs. Even with CDs and the "loudness war", the quality is still there, even if dynamic range is reduced. As for Crosley - well, they've made some efforts to "do better", but the basic mechanism and ceramic cartridge used in their most popular record players is a crime against audio. There is no excuse to be using ceramic cartridges in 2023. I just don't see the point in making something that sounds so bad, when for 20% more cost you could make it sound "ok". An inexpensive magnetic cartridge and better quality speakers could have made the "Crosley Cruiser" a far less "miserable" product. Anyway....
In the early 80's, I threw out all my vinyl and cassettes in favour of CD's. Had a pitstop with Minidisc. In early 10's, I threw out all my CD's in favour of lossless streaming. Fantastic. I can't help regarding vinyl collectors as seriously misguided. Surface sounds alone I find intolerable. Someone just said vinyl sounds warm. Music is not supposed to sound warm but crystal clear. Low-res MP3's and compact cassettes sound very warm because they're very bad.
I guess that was the whole point - and why it went away as the primary format for the industry. There is no doubt that nostalgia and history are huge parts of the return to vinyl for a lot of people. Don't let it frustrate you, friend - enjoy the ride!
@@njm1971nyc Whe have the choice so I find it not frustrating, more like incomprehensible. I also see the charm but mostly the inconvenience. Seeing someone proudly present his $50.000 turntable and yes, you can hear the cracks perfectly.
Too late to go back to using records. Vynils died when the quality of music decayed in the 1990s. Nevertheless, I like to collect records of past decades.
Alternate take: Vinyl takes up space, pollutes the environment when producing in large quantities. It's just another form of consumerism. It should be about the music, not the format. Who knows? I'm 19, I've never heard of any of the bands mentioned in this documentary. I like my music fast and disposable. I've never even seen a CD in real life and would die without Spotify. I guess what I'm saying is I rock, you don't.
Don't hate on the history man...if you weren't there, I understand why you don't get it. If we were to rephrase the wording in the film, the main point would likely be that the idea of "disposable" music is what the vinyl comeback is in response to. more so than "digital" music.
In the 1990s, CDs started to be mass produced, and CDs slowly started to outsell vinyl records. 2000-2010 was a dark age for vinyl records. Online shopping started diverting people from going to physical locations to buy things, and many record shops had to close because of it. Also, young people of this time cared more about iPods and iTunes than vinyl records. In the early 2010s, vinyl records start to make a gradual comeback. Movies and TV shows, such as “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Stranger Things,” popularize 1970s and 1980s pop culture; including vinyl records. As of 2023, vinyl records are high in demand with many record shops opening/re-opening. Department stores are also putting vinyl records back on their shelves.
Once i clean a used record, I put it on the turntable and ALSO have the computer recording WAV files of it. This phone has a micro SD card with a million songs, all from my vinyl
DUH VINYL SOUNDS BETTER....MAYBE who gives 2 shites about the shopping experience ? Dont be daft last I checked music was still about sound HELLO ! Shopping is for girls
Duh is right! It's OK to experience good things in life, too. And I would argue that music is and always has been about how it makes the listener feel. We wouldn't care about it otherwise.
Record industry people promoting vinyl for profit (artists were an afterthought, if you listen closely). This makes me even more against the vinyl record resurgence. Just wait until all these new kids learn how fun it is to have a huge collection of scratched records! I will stick mostly with the dying Compact Disc and lossless digital (rips, downloads, steams, what ever). I am that Boomer / Gen X (born on the borderline) tool who sees vinyl records as good for one thing: to frame and hang on the wall like movie posters. And this is coming from a fellow with a decent sound system including a Project Carbon turntable for when the nostalgic mood to spin a record strikes me. But above all, YOU should do what ever you want to do! What ever makes you happy.
I got into vinyl hesitatingly - i bought all the great audio equipment but was listening to digital - then I got into vinyl - the difference was immediate. folks, if you have a high end setup you need vinyl - digital is good but vinyl brings it home.
My 14 yo daughter loves Taylor Swift, big surprise! But the great thing is, TS production on vinyl is beautiful, but art and sound, and my daughter realizes this. She’s learned the value of owning the music, instead of renting it, and, she actually sits down, in a room and listens to the whole record. It’s so great to see this, it warms my heart.
