Welcome to Austin Mazzy and crew. I helped set up and create the very first Austin Record Convention way back in the day. Sold there for the first 5 years. Now I just shop. The fact thst its held up all these years and gotten bigger to boot is amazing.
I moved to Charlotte, NC from Everett, WA two years ago. I still have to pay a visit to Noble Records. Mas, Love the fedora, I have one similar. Good video.
Mazzy love the video so many cool VC members man very cool and I love that Air B N B you guys were staying at . That Austin Fair looked great the prices were reasonable. That Fair is on my bucket list to visit .
Mazzy, killer documentation of Austin trip. I was so overwhelmed by how big the convention is. So many records! I would definitely be hanging out in that stoner/doom/sludge bin for sure 👍 lol . I think Dillon was too star struck to talk on camera. Great VC gathering ! I look forward to more videos of the trip. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
Nice to hear you got Beck OG. Very happy I bought his first two major albums Mellow Gold and Odelay when they came out on Bong Load Records back in the day, right before his move to Geffen. Collection treasures!
Wow great show it look like it is. Larger then the ones I used to go to. But did great each time. Always fun when I went to record shows. And seeing the old dealers and people I knew when I went there and seeing them.
Enjoy the visit, Mazzy. I lived in Austin for 15 years before relocating to DC. Austin is a great city - excellent vibe, very friendly people (in general) and plenty of music. Looking forward to watching your videos!
Your original plan intrigues me. If I were flying all the way to Austin, Texas to a record convention, in my mind I would be purchasing a shit-ton of vinyl to make the journey worthwhile. Glad you found some worthy of your collection. I'm sure I would need Sherpas to aid me in carrying all mine back home.
Hi Mazzy - lovin the trip to Austin. Your record fairs over there are huge compared to ours in Australia. Lovin it though. You have a great group of friends there -enjoy. Cheers Doug (from Down Under)
Great video.. Love the pranksters. Mazzy love how you always ref Ella in Berlin.. My late Dad's fave. I finally got a few copies but my own gem is a UK mono.. Strange as it is..keep up the Vinyl education.
Great video. I need to drive up for the next Convention. Haven't been since the late 90's. Remember when Roky would sit at one of the local's booths and sign LPs. Glad he got it together soon afterward.
Wish I knew you were there. I just drove back to San Antonio from ARC. I picked up the Sugar Cubes debut, Chris Isaak’s debut, some Sade, Winehouse, Police and Throwing Muses. You need to dig to find the deals. Some of the pricing was Discog level, for sure. Hope Austin is treating you well!
They've been 'slabbing' comic books for years. People don't complain about that like they do vinyl LPs. Same concept, though. It preserves the integrity of physical product. And I believe that the price of 'slabbing' the vinyl is cheaper than what the CGC charges for comic books, but I'm not sure.
wow! it looks like half of the VC showed up in Droves. I wanted to thank you for the Lou Rawls album that came with the other records i received today Mazzy!
"The first thing I remember knowin'" Would be in the 1968 bin you know that Boss! "The Hag!"! In the early part of your vid was that a Mom's Apple Pie the Original before the Police showed up? Neat that you ran into NC Noble Records! Thank you for the way you film! Very interesting VMG discussion! Thank you Mazzy!
Massey. Enjoyed the videos to the Austin Record Fair. Have you ever considered showcasing Bruce Hornsby, chris rea and other artists which you have not touched upon. Really enjoy the blogs. Trevor Marshall, Londonderry, Northern Ireland
"We didn't start the fire" - - & that's true. Some freebies were gifted, & declared, & next thing they're burning Beatles records in Texas. But it's nice to see some VC people actually getting along. Never thought I'd see the day. Heartwarming. Records are an excuse for bonding & remembering, as you know. Some o those artifacts are actually people. It's the bonding, stoopid. But I didn't see anyone buying books. Surely, between Jose & *the Norman Maslov Public Library* somebody bought a book. Just raise the bar a bit would you? be a cut above.
Quick horror story….. I was at the mega record fair in Utrecht , Holland , and there was a dealer selling a rare Thailand copy of a various artists 45/EP that included the Sex Pistols . .Due to the constant humidity in Thailand most of the paper sleeves soon rot away to nothing and it didn’t sell that many anyway when it was released , consequently this particular 45 comes with a hefty asking price. The dealer had a xeroxed copy of it up on the display wall letting you know he had it for sale at €800 , so get chatting to him about it and where he had found it etc and he offered to let me see it , I did tell him that at €800 it was well out of my league for me to buy , but yes , it would be nice to see and hold it. He went to the back of his store front and picked up a 45 carry case which was extremely full of his rarer 45’s that he had bought to the fair. This case was so full you couldn’t have slipped a credit card into it , it was chockablock, anyway he dug it out and gave it to me to look at for a few minutes to admire and chat with him about it , then he took it back from me and still idly chatting away to me proceeded to try and put it back into the bulging 45 case , putting downward pressure on it to make it go back into the case when there was a god almighty “crack” sound as his precious €800 record snapped completely in half …….. After a few seconds of awkwardness between us I made my excuses and exited stage-left to leave him to beat himself up over his stupid clumsiness……poor man.
Yes there were some tables with 12” dj singles of various genres. Pretty much everything represented. My interests are rock, soul, jazz, folk, country & world.
@@mazzysmusic appreciate the reply! My collection is ~90% house, trance, techno DJ issues. The rest is “other”. While we may not agree on music tastes, no worries there, we agree on the magic of vinyl. FWIW, I’m in the Seattle area too and have loved your content Mazzy!
I can't believe you passed on that "Anyone Can Yodel" instructional record. You're gonna regret that someday when you're lost in the Cascades and need to communicate over to another ridge line.
Should've picked up that 6 ft Hick record at 12:24 Mazzy, the post it note describing it as garage blues was pretty apt, but back in their prime a killer live act, next level physical commitment!
Does the VC know that Nightfall of Diamonds has been out since the early 2000s on CD and is a famous 1989 show. What makes it bad, b/c it's from 1989? The Dead will release everything eventually and ya'll are still buying😂 And, no Deadhead would consider a single show release a box set😂
