Nice job on the video. I had a record store. I miss record stores. I made friends in record stores. CDs are convenient, but...(add all the "buts" you have ever heard and they are true.) Record floods - 1980 - had one ion a one stop I worked at. Toilet never stopped refilling at the end of the day. Boss showed up at 7 am and there was water pouring out from under the door. We had stacks of LPs in boxes all over the sales floor and they had all tipped over as the cardboard got wet. What a nightmare. My personal stash of stuff to buy was next to my desk..on the floor. I saved most of them and still have them. Sweet memories!
I go into the records stores in my area and unlike before, the staff doesn't know shit, except what they read online and the most customers have buds in their ears. I haven't heard yet one person ask when they hear what the store is playing, "Hey, who is that?"
June Records!! They just closed down in Toronto. They had a massive closing sale and ended up giving 30 or so boxes away for free, so naturally I snagged them! Filled up the entire SUV. Great shop.
This is great, I was 9 years old in 1967 and I used to visit friends in my neighborhood in Pensacola and there would be amazing music playing on LP by their parents that I did'nt hear on my little Panasonic round radio, it was Hendrix, The Allmans, Beatles, Cream, Creedence, nothing else in life brought as much Joy as music, my search for vinyl began in earnest a little later. At one time I went for the CD's and left Vinyl behind thinking they sounded so much better without the "bacon frying" (ha that's what my wife says about records), well I'm now back hard at finding great records, nothing like finding CLEAN copies of classic artists. I found you HAVE to have great gear to truely hear the fidelity, when I got my Marantz 2252 to go with my Bose speakers and Technics turntable, THAT was it, the heavens opened!
"In this edition of 'Hipsters Talk Out Of Their Asses', we explore why these people with 'Vinyls Collections' are far superior to you while they manhandle their records and play them on cheap pieces of crap!" Holy hell... do people over 20 who actually know what they're talking about not exist in your universe?
In Denver, there was a store downtown, called " Harmony Records " ; it was run by an Italian guy named Mike, which is my name too. I used to LOVE to spend Saturday afternoons with him, just listening to him talk about the 40's & the 50's. it was magic. ---------I had a fair collection, but sadly, I had to sell 2/3 of it when I moved from the Bay Area, to LA, --------That collector, was " Rowe's Rare Records " in San Jose. ----------------------I felt like Judas, selling my music--------my life . I cried when he left . ---------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
Feel your pain brother. I have a 50 year collection that I have to start selling, but I'm emotionally attached to them. My kids will just back up the dumpster when I'm gone....
I remember my mom was not happy with my Who's Next album ( the cover ) back in the early 70's. I said " mom this is going to be a classic!". She realized i was a lost cause! The Who on vinyl!
This is such bs,young hipsters trying to bring something back from the past which died 30 years ago.I was teen in the mid 80s all the kids truly loved music and would talk about their favourite bands,wear their t-shirts,argue which bands were better,stand in line at record stores on release days it's just something you did not because it was trendy it's just how the world was back then,now I feel like the millennial hipsters are going to record stores for the trend factor first, music factor way second,and paying way to much for second hand vinyl inflating prices.
@@daniellogansa8101me too! used to be able to find quality pressing plants for a 70 cents to a dollar a copy with a picture sleeve! Long gone are the days!
I like that alot of people are getting into records. I been DJ-ing for over 10 years and I get that same feeling everytime i get a new record on wax like the people in this video.
Vinyl sounds warmer and has depth.That's why the listener is drawn more towards listening to vinyl than to CD's. Cd's sound flat by comparison althogh they do have a wider dynamic range than records.....Approx 120 db compared to 70 db....Vinyl Rules!
1. Its called a Record Collection, not a "Vinyls Collection 2. Pyle is a pyle of crap, and those little computer speakers are embarrassing, how dare you call yourself an audiophile authority, clearly you don't even care about the quality of your music output, the source is meaningless when wired through absolute garbage
hadoenough : Although i do love vinyl records and i have about 100 maybe ? not so many i guess but CDs for me is what best to collect music . But what matters most for me is to injoy music 1st , either it comes from CDs or from LPs , good hi-fi audio gear and job is DONE . All the rest is BULSHIT and FUCK the TROLLS surfing in internet .
Vinyl sounds only as good as the equipment used to play it. Invest in quality gear and then you will start to hear the true sound of vinyl. These plastic little rigs can not justify the true sound of vinyl.
It's great that younger people are getting into records and discovering their magic; however, this documentary shows what is (unfortunately) wrong with record collecting today. To wit, young hipsters who love vinyl and and have driven up the price of old records into prices that have turned true collecting into simple adversity. Common records that 15 years ago were $5 are now being sold for around $20 to $25 for relatively worn copies that in 10 years will be greatly devalued, simply because the market is not really geared towards serious collectors but rather young purchasers. As an example, the mustachioed bedroom player pulls out Toto and Supertramp (Seriously??) as the two sole representatives of his collection (an attempt at irony? Please tell me that is the reason. But I have owned both records at various points) and proceeds to play them on a crappy Pyle USB turntable. Gone is the old time knowledge of record shop owners spending years in the music industry and sharing their unbeatable knowledge. I have been to the two stores in Toronto shown in the video, and not once was I greeted when I walked in, and when I asked the clerks about a couple of fairly common older collectible records, it was obvious that they had no clue as to what I was referring. I like the stores for the new vinyl, but I didn't feel any sense of community or more than a cursory knowledge outside of newer indie bands. There was one store where I felt welcomed and the owner could help me, but for the life of me I cannot remember the name. But a neat little video to watch. Thanks.
mr. snowball u know that part you spoke about listening to pink floyd on a decent size stereo , that u said was like a religious experience ... ,that was common place for anyone who grew up in the 70s , or 60 70s , or at least thru their teenage years. not off puny little computer speakers .A much more enriching music experience . that has got to contribute to the difference in quality in the music made in the 70s and the music made since then.
It's ironic that he pulls out Crisis what Crisis?I just tried to find this on U tube and only got live versions of "Another Man's Woman".Glad I own the vinyl!
I just can't stand when people say it's an experience or how they love the ritual of taking record out of sleeve dropping needle etc. I hate that. I love records and I collect every week. But I'm not the kind to take it too seriously. Records are cooler than CDs and digital and that's all you need to know lol
digital actually does ruin quality. this was also my concern about photography, i take pictures with my film camera and even if you have the cheapest and shitty film camera, the quality is still high. unlike digital, the pixels are so limited that when you zoom it too much the grain doesn't even look appealing
You know what's funny is some of the record store owners are completely clueless and haven't even heard of bands like "Magazine" for instance. So what are they gonna turn me onto?
Typical hipster talk. A lot of false claims that don't help you in a discussion, but whatever. I am a vinyl collector and love my records, don't like streaming, don't like CD´s, so these guys are my friends anyway.
I don't think that the discussion that vinyl is better than digital will help anyone. If we need arguments than not from people who play there records on cheap equipment and talk shit about digital distortion, it is obvious that they don't know what they are talking about. There is a difference, your taste should decide, try both, maybe use both and that's all. I am totally into vinyl, I don't like digital, but that is just me.
No need to get any Nazareth record just because it is vinyl. I think most record collectors would just because it is an LP and not really the music they want to listen to.
Always amazing to see these vinyl enthusiasts how they "carefully" take out the vinyl out of their sleeves...How dumb can you be? It´s not so hard to take it out WITHOUT touching the playing surface!
go into a record store and you can see the real artwork on the cover and see the posters on the wall and know yea this is what its like , but walk into a record store now and its all cds of junk endless junk no one wants or cares about and they want you to hurry up and buy that cd and get out , vs a record store they dont care if your there for hours , real digging is where its at thats the fun of it .........something s will never make it to cd just like the blu rays it will never see the light of day on the new format
So much bullcrap here....."like"....you can't play digital loud or else it will distort.....utter bullcrap....... "like" that won't happen with vinyl 🤩"like">>>>>4:44
Pretty effin close. It also depends on the quality of your rig. Speakers, TT, stereo, cartridge. If you take care of your stuff, your stuff will take care of you.
