GATHERING GROOVES (2016) | Record Collecting Documentary featuring Carl Cox  

Cool documentary! Really good work! :D LONG LIVE VINYL!

RIP Peter Clifton...really cool guy who led an amazing life!

I also just recently got into vinyl about a year ago after my dad past away and he left me all his records now I'm hooked

As a 22 year old, I grew up with cassettes and CDs. When I turned 18 my best friend bought me a copy of Queen’s “A Night At The Opera”. And from that day on I’ve been hooked on vinyl. Forget CDs, and MP3s. My heart is forever with vinyl

The old man was so passionate

i started collecting jazz vinyl when i was fourteen in minneapolis in 1958 ..bill evans, miles davis, john coltrane. i remember buying coltranes giant steps. i thought the cover was so cool and the music like nothing i had heard of before. so mysterious! family moved to los angeles in 1961 and thats when the really serious collecting began.. ray averys rare records in hollywood at the time, and sams record store in the black area of los angeles. in later years in san francisco. vinyl is definitly the archival medium of choice...a great ride as they say!!!!

Awwww, gotta love Carl. His story at the end after the credits put a massive grin on my face. Lovely fella!

I think one of the best arguments for vinyl is the longevity o the medium itself. You can find records that are 80 years old now that still play well. I wonder if cd's/digital archiving will stand up to the test of time like vinyl has

Vinyls are glorious memories of music in the past.

I was born in the 2000's so I never knew the era of vinyl but damn I feel so greatful for this heritage and have so much respect for it.Hoping to have my own collection one day.Such a wonderful documentary!

This film is balanced so good, talking about emotional quality of vinyl and not sound quality which isn't really so important. Very impressive work.

What a darn good doc. i found out about this doc from reading replies from another sight and someone recommending it. Its nice to see and hear others appreciate vinyl.

Music has been big my whole life. At one time I had a massive Cd collection for a teenager. They were stolen. That was 20 yrs ago. And while I just recently(6mos) bought my first record and table, I never once bought a digital song or album. Ive just been streaming music from streaming sites like Pandora and Spotify. I live that records are tactile, tangible and oh so exciting. I feel an immediate connection with a record. It brings back that magic u felt at 15 buying a Cd and looking at the album notes until u got home to listen to it because cars dint really have Cd players back then.

I loved vinyl records.

Carl was hitting up Beanos in Croydon (RIP) used to see him there!!

Very good documentary. Enjoyed watching. I still mix with vinyl and have a growing collection. Nothing compares to a mix with vinyl. Thx for the share !

When you buy a song from iTunes, you do not own the music. What you own is the license to play the song. And the license is not even transferable. You cannot give your iTunes "collection" to anyone if you abide by their TOS. That's one thing that I like about vinyl, though it also holds true for CD's or cassettes. But, it's something you can hold and when you pass away it can be handed down to your kids. If they want them. :)

Fascinating and uplifting! Looking through my vinyl collection recently I found an album which looked and played mint. It was 53 years old! The same day I went through my CD collection and discovered a disc which was less than 10 years old. The aluminium backed medium had stared to break down and it wouldn't play. That was an eye opener. I use a record cleaning machine and can't over stress the importance of keeping your LPs clean. It preserves them and preserves the life of your stylus. Well worth the investment. Long live vinyl! It's such a tangible treasure and for me is worth its weight in gold.

Because of the title, this video was off my radar. I only found it because of your comment on Vinyl Eyezz comment. Very well done!

The single best reason to collect records is that it is the most efficient way to discover new music, place it in historical context, and thereby gain the greatest satisfaction from the consumption of music.

That story at 8:56!!! Wow!! Most of us will never get to tell a story like that EVER!! LOL. Reminds me of the time I met David Porter (who wrote for Stax records). I had a chance to chat with him for a long time and he was telling stories about working on Sittin On the Dock Of Bay, Soulfinger, Hold On I'm Comin', and all those classic R&B hits. As he is sharing these stories it just kind of hits me about 20 mins in....every time he say "Otis this.." or "Issac this.." Dammit he is talking about Otis Redding and Issac Hayes lol!! It totally blew my mind when I actually paid attention to that fact. I bet listening to this guys stories would pretty darn awesome as well. To have a story that involves Paige and Richards is just amazing!

Your lovely film captures that indefinable thing that makes owning records so much more special than digital recordings I wish you would make one of 78 record collecting as its a genre of collecting recordings that are often unavailable in any other format.

This Documentary is amazing !!!!!

nicely done documentary about the great world of vinyl record collecting!

Great Docu. I start collecting Vinyl at this Time and I search for Videos. Thank you for making this great Film

I love that you chose this for your Honours project. How bloody cool! I really enjoyed watching the doco - the people you included in it are really interesting as are the reasons for their collections. How cool is that Rolling Stones tour case !! I am a child of the 70s and stopped buying vinyl when CDs overtook and eclipsed everything. Fortunately, I kept my collection and as of recently have gotten back into collecting vinyl records. Rather than going for numerous records, I prefer to research the album I want as extensively as possible and go for the best sounding (audiophile) pressing. These records are more expensive than regular reissues however, if chosen wisely they are a tangible investment with the value only going up if kept and stored well. Thank you for your film - fantastic stuff!

Very enjoyable doc. Thank you. First record bought: The Beatles Blue Album 1967-1970 , bought at outdoor swap meet in 1978 and still own. Most recent album purchased: Neil Young "Tonight's the Night" first pressing on ebay. Dec. 2022.......and a whole lot in between. I also enjoy cassettes and cd's, also have tera-bites of digital music. Life is a soundtrack.

Really good little documentary.Captured the essence what it feels like & means 2 B a vinyl collector. It was so funny noticing records that I own, or have wanted 2 buy.

great doco. just came back from a today in the UK and added about 25 to my collection from markets and stores. Such a gold range there. Now have nearly 50 of my all time favourite artists/albums. I'm hooked on listening!

Peter Clifton's insight is fantastic. Great short and free doco but definitely needed some female input in what (from the outside looking in) feels like a male-dominated world

What a cute documentary! I had fun watching! Thak you!

Great video, so many different ways of looking at vinyl and this is a good approach

Still such a great doco! Thanks for the interview - was so fun. Great memories!

Dude got a 100 records, WOWWWWW! LLS!

Really love this take on vinyl collectors!

26:33 VERY nice picture !

people make a mistake depending on streaming platforms 100%! any album from streaming can get pulled and go out of print at anytime! for example nuclear assault's "survive" Album went out of print and pulled, just recently Whitesnake's Album's "self title" and "slide it in" and one other was pulled because of copyright disputes! if you would have bought the record or CD you would always have it!

6:06 The Return Of Bruno by Bruce Willis... I've got that! Very underrated album, I got it for Under The Boardwalk, but discovered some amazing groovy tracks playing the rest of the album. I wouldn't get that if I simply got the MP3... great documentary, well done - Duncan aka diDprojects...

Amazing. Really glad I watched this congrats.

Nicely done. Really enjoyed watching this.

Trying to fight the urge to purge my thousands of records. This helped a bit. I can;t say I've played any of them in several years, d/t work and kids. I think I'll have a listen tonight and see if my feelings towards them have changed.

A good production here and excellent content

i love mancini's song lujon! great video!!!

This was great man, found it whilst doing research for my own short doc (only a couple of mins) on a similar topic

Great doco mate. Nice to hear some Aussie perspectives.

Absolutely fantastic documentary, loved the views/experiences told by both young and old fans of vinyl. You just can't beat music on physical formats, Vinyls, Cassettes, CD's are far better than a digital file that evokes no feeling or memories etc.. 💜

If that old dude thinks concept albums are dead, he needs to be shown some prog metal. Vektor, Voivod, Ayreon, Dream Theater, Mastodon, Opeth etc all have made fantastic concept albums but you gotta dig a little bit deeper to find them. Can't really be mad at him though, he is so sweet and passionate about records :D

Very interesting to watch and listen to, cheers

...I really need to know where Carl Cox is picking up these '45inch' singles.... also what he's playing them on

Very enjoyable docu.

Living in Australia makes it really hard to get new records, especially underground stuff at decent prices but damn it we do it anyway!

#Vinyljunkiesunite✊ Vinyl shall live forever!

Appreciate the support from everyone. Never thought this would get 100k views 🙌

Awesome Doco man!

Great documentary

Wow that's really well made!

Old guy had some great records.

Nice job! I collect vinyl... thinking about starting a show soon on it. Thanks! Subbed!

1:50 the doc shows an AT-95e combo riding with so much VTF. Please contact that "Collector" and tell them to watch the simple RU-vid video on VTF adjustment. VInyl listening is a labor of love and requires knowledge to ensure your collection is viable in 5 years.

Nice work mang.

Great commentary! you told it like it is. Cheers

this is a professionally made documentary 🔥 very interesting

It's in the name "RECORD" a time capsule a recalll, once is press up ,it a memory for as long as you own it.

Motown is the best genre on any media.

Nice documentary, thanks for sharing. Always interested in this subject and seeing people’s collection with a story. Anyone know what that record at 6:23 Steve pulls out - looks pretty special with the colour comic art.

GODDAMMIT STOP TOUCHING THE RECORDS ALL OVER!

Nice. Some good interviews worth watching here. Also, your intro record playing doesn't have a woolly mammoth stuck in the stylus - bonus.

cool video. I like to do one like yours someday. great camera work. I just subscribed.

Holy cow, I skipped most of this video until the interview at the 15:00 minute mark and guessed he was gonna pick Stevie Wonder.

Is that an SL-23 in the beginning shot? Heh. I just got to the Steve Kuota interview. It's his turntable, and yes, it looks to be a Technics SL-23...

if you uploaded daily or hell of a lot your channel could blow up awesome editing

7:40 Around 150k pieces? That's like 8.5 years of music.

waaww 100 albums waww one in hebrew!! this guys a collectaaaa

Wait, a Bruce Willis record at 6:08? WTF I gotta google that right now......

What is the name of the instrumental music at the very beginning of this video?

I would love to hear this video...odd that the audio sucks on a vid about audio.

0:20 Where can I get one of these?. A Gorgeous Girl Who likes Records, Wow. Everything I bought home wanted Me to throw the Lot out. So I threw them out Instead. 3:10 the Acetate Is Not what Is used to press the Records from. It Is a Pre-Demo of the Unfinished LP or Single. Like a Pr-Cuser to the Finished Record. Elvis Presley would have a Box of Acetates (Worth a Fortune Now) And he would play them when traveling on Early version of a Crosley, So He could learn them, and also Listen to new Material for Him to consider to Record Himself. Quite a lot of the other big groups did this as well. I bought the Entire 75 chart singles over three days with the Bonus money from My first Proper Job. In the End of December start of January, When the Chart stalls for a week with no new entries In 1973-74, And I have added every New entry since Now 2020 and I am a Vintage Video DJ. And still have them all like Carl Cox here, and still play them when I can. The only thing that gets Me Is when they say, "You can get anything You want on MP3 or Streaming" Nooooooooooooooooo You can't! there Is Thousands of Tracks that Is Only available On Vinyl. I am Digitally doing transfers to MP3 or CD's Because People want those tracks but cannot find them. I even Do them for Radio Stations Who struggle to fill In Requests.

does anyone know what the album is at 18:58 that Ryan is holding up??

I went from 1 to 3 to about 100 now..... I bought 6, then the rest at garage sale. Total 35, from there 120 for 40, and I'm at around 3-400 now. And more coming

6:15 that cartridge looks awfully close to the record

Among the many films about record collecting that I found on RU-vid, this has to be one of the nicest! Your choice of interviewees is excellent, each giving different angles on the subject. I enjoyed it very much - thank you! For a more morbid look at the sometimes funny, sometimes sad underbelly of record collecting addiction, may I suggest taking a look at "Alan Zweig's Vinyl": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nkCMSrvOTAo.html

What record has everyone been playing in #quarantine?

What's everyone's favourite record of all time? #VinylRecords

How did you get Peter Clifton on this documentary - and where is the rest of the interview? :-)

Good documentary. Nice mix of ages. No girls?

Someone buy him some outer sleeves

28:28 sums it up

is vinyl making a comeback in Australia?

Anyone know the name of the intro track???

По словесному портрету описания пластинку виниловой найти можно ?

Did I sample that intro? DOOM!

you can manipulate the head of the record player and just drop it on your favorite track ..cut.. Dope Lemon??? UPTOWN FOLKS THEN!

A video on audio and I can't hear it!!!!

This is an old video but how can you call yourself a collector if you have only 100 pcs in your collection?

"CD self-destructs...".....what is that bloke smokin'? :)))

Any record collectors looking for a new 'Alternative Folk Blues Angst' album? Folk Dope LP Pledge here: qrates.com/artists/13189/items/14700 Many thanks

You can't roll a joint on an mp3.

6:11- come on now, would you buy a Bruce Willis record if you stumbled onto the CD pressing of that at a yard sale for a dollar? Is it just because it's on vinyl that people will buy all types of music and crazy records that they would NEVER listen to on any other medium?

just me or this guy's needle is busted? 1:52
