I bought the original Funkadelic Hardcore jollies album second hand in excellent condition last year for 20 euros. It’s really not that rare, but it’s a great album for sure!
Keys? 3 way tie. Keith Emerson, Jordan Rudess and although the output wasn't nearly as high... based on Il Balletto Di Bronzo's YS - Gianni Leone is a MANIAC. Nice to see someone else nuts over some period in the Relapse catalog.
I rarely see Bob Seeger System records. I agree with you on surface noise: a little bit is OK with me. Very cool reissues. Wow, I haven't thought about Girl talk in years. Those look amazing 👍
They never went anywhere. Longtime collectors like me appreciate the affordability and portability of CDs. Many CD titles still don’t have a vinyl issue so they’re still worth grabbing.
Nice pickups. I have always been disappointed that higher quality disc formats never made it to the mainstream. Glad the sleeves worked out for you. I recently found and Audio Master + vinyl sampler, looking on Discogs there were on 25 vinyl releases in the series, almost all are jazz titles.
Hi Logan!!! yes those are great trilogies and so nice to see Venom and Slipknot, i can add to the list a couple of cool metal bands like 80's Maiden, late 70's Rush just ot name a few.... cheers and be well
RU-vid will add ads no matter what when you reach 4000 hours of watch time in the last 12 months. You can disable automatic chapters on your settings for sure. Love the Twitching Tongues 'skull' artwork. Congrats on the big milestone Logan! Ps: Oh youtube only pays when you reach US$100 worth of credits. Guz69
I'm with you on Monster. I first noticed them when Automatic for the People came out, when I was in high school and Monster still takes me back to that time, waiting for it to come out etc. The anniversary release was great. Disappointing that they did such bad anniversary issues with New Adventures and Up. Monster is almost a concept album. It holds together well as a whole piece. No weak spots. It gets a lot of hate, but it ages well for me...
Hey Logan! Nice video. CD lover here still, but I have way too many. I don’t know if I’ll ever ditch the trays but they do take up space. I’ve seen pics of re-sleeved CDs and Kallax storage units to store them, it looks so fresh. I’ve never seen that Jesus freak variant. I don’t know if my Harvest cd is hdcd there is no indication of it but sounds pretty amazing.. face to face is from here in California. They’re one of my favorite punk bands I still listen to from time to time.. God bless
Some very good picks Logan. I did remember your appreciation for some of them like REM, Earth and Kiss. REM's 'Automatic' and 'Document' were strong albums. The albums that you choose were soundtracks to your life in one way or another. It was cool to see which ones you choose~ Rob/Boston
Cry! Man what a song. Havent listened to that in decades. I bet it sounds huge on 12" nice pick up Logan! Im still missing that Plasmatics album. I love her solo stuff too.
Rockers vs. jazz/acoustic cats and Neil Young. 😂 CDs are objectively more accurate. Period. That’s literally why they were developed. The end of that argument is “RIAA curve”. CDs have something like 20db greater dynamic range than vinyl, and remember that db is logarithmic, so every 10db is twice as loud. Jazz and acoustic types live for SACD, etc. (Now, high bitrate digital,) because it’s the format that’s most able to reproduce the full acoustic range of a performance. You can hear fingers on strings. We like vinyl because it rounds the edges off in a pleasing way, doubly so when electric instruments are in play. To the point that people run Spotify through itty bitty tube amps because it rounds off the edges on compressed digital. Vinyl throws out data in a way that sounds good. (Arguably, the first thing we hear when humans grow ears is our mother’s body, which is mostly bass and midrange. We’re primed for that.) The interesting thing is that the early CDs with the disclaimer you mention all sounded “tinny” because they were mastered by people who only worked with tape and vinyl. And treble with tape and vinyl is tough to get. So the people mastering said discs cranked the top say 5k+ hertz like they would for a record, and then we’re in treble city. Treble is also the first to go when you’re an aging rocker, so the acts didn’t really have a problem with it. It’s apocryphal, but people thought CDs were 74 minutes because that’s what you need to fit Beethoven’s 9th on one disc. And admittedly, Albini was right, rest him. We still don’t have a truly archival digital medium like tape is a truly archival medium. (Assuming you conserve it properly and transfer it to a different reel every few years.) I have a peak 70s analog system, it sounds great for what I paid for it, but I wouldn’t mind a really nice SACD rig. The Flaming Lips DVDs are all mixed in “Zaireeka 5.1”. Not that Rolling Stones thing where there’s dry vocals in the center channel, for every video they produced, it’s all mixed with everything flying at you in all directions.
Oooh! And HDCD! Which actually isn’t snake oil. It’s a quest to do it, but you can actually rip and “unfold” HDCDs to 24 bit files. And then there’s Kranky and Touch and Go who are putting out actual AAA releases. Because Chicago is the analog city. 😄
Hi Logan!!! i still have some old cds so i will have to check them see if they are AAD pressings..... also my Tool "Lateralus", had no idea also about that FNM "Greatest Hits" mine i think it's the single disc. I also think i have just one SACD and it's the 30th?? edition of "the Dark Side...." cheers and be well
Its not that your subs don’t want talking videos it’s just that it’s not what they expect from you but if you have something to say, don’t not say it man. Just get to where people know you do a few different types. Thats what everyone does, sometimes they talk about a record they got, sometimes they’re out in wild recording themself hunting, sometimes it’s just a hot topic that’s interesting. Robert Fithen is the man when it comes to the blue print man
