@@3dimensionsofmusic3D I’ve always thought they were kind of stupid and yet here they are. I think about 75% of them were given to me and the ones I did buy were only because they were super cheap.
@@guitarzen7080 A classic. I think back to when it first came out and I was living in Cleveland and they overplayed it on the radio (and on MTV), but still…great song and really good album. It’ll be good to have the CD back in the old collection. Have a good one!
@@twofromthetrunk9932 It’s been a minute since I’ve found this many records, at a decent price, at an antique mall. I’m calling it a win. Thx for watching and cheers!
@@twofromthetrunk9932 Same here. 90% of my records were bought used or at a significant discount if used. But I am finding CDs at such cheap prices that it just makes financial sense to scoop them up. Average price of a new record at the second store I visited today was $40. Can’t swing that.
@@MortenAastad It’s so rare to find Vinyl, on Amazon, for under $25 US that I buy anything that comes up around $10. Disturbed at $11 seemed like a great deal and it’s a great record. As soon as I made this video a Hanoi Rocks CD came in the mail. A Japanese press. Good times of listening coming up. Have a great day!
Rick your exercise regimen is kicking butt. You look great 👍. You're disappearing before my eyes - or are you using a filter? 😅. Which is your favorite Gretta VF album.
@@3dimensionsofmusic3D Thx Greg. Down about 42lbs. I have no idea how to use filters, but I sure hope they’d take off another 20 if they did and maybe add some muscle. Lol. Favorite Greta album is definitely Anthem of the Peaceful Army. Do you have one?

@@hurricane_valence Nice list. Tears for Fears would make my list if I did it over again. Springfield’s Tao had success mostly because it was given away as part of promotions and prizes for other products and contests. I remember it being a prize in Wheel of Fortune or you could get it by mailing in box tops from certain cereals. It was everywhere. Pet Shop Boys West End Girls was a 45 I completely wore out back in the day. And Paul Young was of course great!
I also have that Balance album, it's the Bruce Kulick brother's band who also recorded with Kiss, WASP and Meat Loaf among others. It's hard to say that Balance is hard rock, but it has a very mellow, almost pop take on it. Cheers!
@@3dimensionsofmusic3D lol. I sound like I’m dying, but for the first time hitting those steps in 5 years I felt pretty good. Of course when I got home I couldn’t get my legs to get me out of the car.
Great entry Rick! Iggy I had no idea! Tom I think I found out when Inread up about him after seeing the movie Mystery Men again a while back? 🤔 Oh, and to those from countries lacking «singing Norwegians» go ahead and pick an American, Canadian or British Norwegian. There are more Americans of Norwegian descent than Norwegians IN Norway. Good luck Rick and really good! Cheers from Morten
Way more than I thought there would be. It was interesting to find out about. I believe I have a touch of Norwegian in me as well. According to a DNA search my ancestors are from about 90% of the European countries and a tad of Russia.
@@rickandrecords I tried to google finnish artist with norwegian roots - didn't find any so far. I haven't done DNA test, but I am mixed finnishswedish and northcarelian.
Hey Rick 👋. I subbed to Morten. Not the first or last time someone blanked on my channel name 😅. My wife's first impression was "that's a dumb name". 😊 She's right 👍 I think. Actually it's kinda like your vinylarium. I have 3 listening environments in the basement. Different types of speakers - (dimensions) you get it. FIFO 🎉. Greg
Sorry - I tried not to shout-out people who wouldn’t want to do an entry! I miscalculated, but I am glad to see your video. I really like that Cooper album.
Cheapest CDs around here are $1. I did pick up Hot August Night today - pleased with that. I’ve been signed up to my son’s Spotify but what if they close down? I still collect.
@@andersdottir1111 I’ve had streaming services lose my playlists and twice my iTunes account got wiped out. Can’t trust them. Plus you can sell or trade or lend physical copies. I just ordered a couple Fish CDs…paid more than I usually do for a CD, but when it’s something I’ve been hunting for and the price isn’t too crazy I don’t mind paying $10-ish dollars.
@@mixtheo2076 yeah, Talking about the vocals maturing from the falsetto-like. Or did I say vocalist? Probably did. I like the more mature sounding vocals. Then again Awaken was a killer album.
13! Unlucky. That picture of Alice is interesting in its own way - kinda a Kung fu, David Sylvian, dominator vibe. I honestly do not know msnybofvthesecrevords. Wow - look at that typing mess. That Riot cover is funny.
@@MortenAastad I didn’t discover pre-Bruce Maiden until 1990 and that discovery melted my face right off. Love Bruce, but discovering Paul doubled the awesomeness for me. I even dug Blaze on vocals. Anyway, looking forward to spinning these fast and furiously.
Blondie : Autoamerican 1980 Had so much going on Live It Up - a song about shooting herion Do The Dark - satanic disco song Faces - a sad jazz song about a homeless man's life T - Birds a song about female roller derby Rapture - introduced the planet to rap, also first rap song with original music (previous rap tracks were only minor local hits)
@@redcomusic Mot exactly the sort of thing I’d opt to get on vinyl, but I’d take it if handed to me. I wouldn’t want to pay much for Fun as they are, as far as I know, a one hit wonder band. If the Phillips CD is good I may upgrade to vinyl. Upgrade? Maybe linear grade? Certainly not a downgrade. :0
@@garagegeek4863 some of that was from my days of listening to nothing but Christian music. Had a 5-7 year span of that. Some good music in Christian genre and some really lousy too.
It’s raining here so it must be sunny where you are. I think I saw something like this on the original Star Trek. A universe where everything was the opposite.
Well said Rick. That Sabbath live album looks cool. Seen it out and about. Released without the knowledge and permission of the band. Not really a bootleg since it was legaly put out by their former manager, but I know a lot of Sabbath fans will have lots of oppinions aboiut it. Good ol’Stones trippy album with a rare rare Bill Wyman song on it 😊
@@MortenAastad Every time I play that Stones record a family member cringes and has a negative comment. It’s definitely different and while it’s far from my favorite by them I still kinda dig it. Maybe a listen with headphones on next time.
Great great great t-shirt Rick 😊 The Dingo ate my baby! Sorry, had to be said. Ah, one of relatively few Neil albums I don’t have. The first one. Nazareth was featured in my video about bands I have somehow never (knowingly) heard. That Nancy album cover. So iconic. But not enough to get a recurring role on Family Guy 😄 For a brief second I thought you had found that rarest of creature. A band from Colorado! Naming your band Mountain when you’re from Long Island? I feel violated 😫 Cool bunch of albums Rick. Thanks for the video.
@@MortenAastad LOL. I very nearly said that about the dingo. My Aussie accent needs work though. Hey, what about those guys in Asia? Not a single one looked even remotely Asian.

@@garagegeek4863 You could do a study on records from the 70s and 80s about songs that seem to condone statutory rape. It’s disturbing how many exist and yet very few seemed to care.
@@rickandrecords I’ve actually noted many already but not on video. And it’s not just in rock - it’s all over the place. Gigi won best picture and it’s about grooming! Soft rock 70s is bad though.
Man I love Bitches Brew too. Used to play a tape recording of it on my walkman walking around the city at night. Its so trippy and raw. Maybe his best album. Nice Mountain and Nazereth. Was a great Sunday over here too! Even visited the local beach. We needed a good day. Cheers man :)
@@LowNoiseJasonSkilz Cool. Glad your day was good and that you got a beach visit in. A beach would have made my wife a lot happier today. She wasn’t crazy about the steep trails we hiked yesterday, but at least she didn’t take it out on me. Lol
10c CDs?!! That's unheard of 😮. The jewel cases alone will cost you 25c each new. Well done Rick 👍. Even if they don't work out you can use the jewel cases for upgrades.
People who didn’t grow up with records don’t understand the thrill of the tactile experience of a record. In pre-internet days I only got to hear about contemporary musicians from the record notes, radio and maybe the odd magazine article (I couldn’t afford teen magazines or music magazines). My friends and I used to always play records on rainy afternoons.
@@andersdottir1111 on a few occasions when a girlfriend might be over or friends or even family way back record playing evolved into spontaneous acts of dancing. I also use it to workout to. It moves you and with records you get that little breather when you have to flip the record…another experience that most of us don’t mind.
Tell it like it is! It’s a hobby. Neighborhoods sounds like fun. I’ll try it. It’s fun. I think I’d like this after a few listens. I had Live at Last as a kid but hated it. I wonder why? I liked Sabbath in general. I don’t think you actually listen to these - it’s all posing. You’ll make 400 subs soon. Let’s get the word out.
Hi, this would be my top 10: Prefab Sprout Swoon/Steve McQueen( two wheels good), Simple Minds NGD, Big Country The Crossing, U2 War/ Joshua Tree, R.E.M Murmur/ Fables of the Reconstruction, Tears for Fears the hurting/ songs from big chair
Great list. U2 was huge, I know, but I just did not like them at the time. I am a much bigger fan now. Big Country was awesome and of course REM. They would make my list if I had to redo it. Thx for commenting. Good stuff!
It is getting much harder to find anything half decent at a good price. A lot of the stuff i'm now getting is on C.D. Also faults with vinyl annoy me, and arriving damaged. Good luck hunting for bargains Rick.
I ordered a record a month or so ago. Double LP. Sides 1, 2, 3 were fine. Side 4 sounded completely warped even though the record was pancake flat. Definitely a bad press. Another new record came in shrink but the vinyl was covered in dust and the edges were poorly cut with bits of jagged vinyl hanging off. Like you said…it’s annoying…we’re not getting our money’s worth.
I think I should maybe have added Scandal or maybe even Sting. Or maybe I should have made it a too 20 list instead of just 10. Oh well. Thx for watching.
Journey was unknown in Australia, a bit like Kansas. Australia followed English music in the 1980s, and out local bands tried to emulate them. US stuff (apart from the heavily promoted pop scene like MJ, Madonna etc) wasn't big here. What is interesting is the US (mostly) missed the ska movement of the late 70s / early 1980s but seemed to find it in the 1990s (Mighty Mighty Bosstones etc).
Ah…ska…it had a very short US lifespan; About a tenth as long as grunge which also wasn’t around terribly long. Weird how a band like Journey was huge in Japan in the early 80’s, but missed Australia.
