I think you have the best intro of all the VC channels. Fantastic albums. Herbie Hancock made some really good albums. My Favorite Things is my favorite John Coltrane albums.
+Vinyl Richie That's so good to hear my friend! I am glad that you like it. My favorite things is so enjoyable. Thanks for watching! Greetings all the way from Germany :) Armien
Great video! Watched it again and want to leave a comment...thanks for the time "Danke fuer die Zeit" it takes to make videos - would be nice to get an update to see how your collection is evolving! Alles, Gute! Larry
I have the Analogue Productions pressings of 'A Love Supreme' and 'Blues and the Abstract Truth' - undoubtedly two of the best albums I have ever heard on vinyl, thoroughly recommend!
Jazz may not be my thing but I can appreciate a huge stack of killer records, finding stuff you've been looking for forever and a 17/hr listening session without a shower! Sounds like it was a fantastic day, congrats on the new finds Armien always cool to see you diggin' the collection! - Lj
Hi Armien seeing your video is very refreshing, I´m a metalhead but I love jazz and with your video now I have to spin some jazz records when arrive home later. Have a nice week and thanks so much for sharing all these records.
+Rui Martins Listening to various genres at the same time can be really refreshing indeed. Good to hear that you like some Jazz from time to time. Have a good weekend my friend :) Armien
DUDE all classics right here. Great additions for sure. Have some of the vinyl you showed, but need some as well. Killer stuff, always happy to see your vids.
Mine is a late 70s / early 80s reissue as well. Unfortunately my copy is very noisy so I need to replace it at some point. The album is so good! A psych monster. Thanks for watching and commenting :) Armien
Glad to Armien! Wanted to ask, what would be your all time top 10 Jazz / Blues albums? Just getting into them and would appreciate your opinion! Thanks
Very hard to say for Jazz this would be "must haves": Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Collosus Dave Brubeck - Time Out Getz / Gilberto Sonny Clarke - Cool Struttin' For Blues I can highly recommend: Muddy Waters - Folk Singer John Lee Hooker - The Healer Willie Dixon With Memphis Slim - Willie's Blues Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign
Jazz is my primary vinyl focus, so I'm glad this video popped up in my search. Subscribed for sure. Interesting to see what people all over are spinning.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Jazz is a wonderful genre indeed. There is still so much to discover! Feel free to take a look at my video about my Blue Note collection. Greetings from Germany! Armien
hello armien you really scored some tremendous jazz lps there! every one of them is a winner. great classic jazz in its hay day with some of the greatest jazz musicians ever. the only one I have is the stan getz au go go which is great unto itself. I would love to have all the others you showed. really nice albums thanks for sharing these! rob
+robert balboni Hi Robert, good to hear that you own a copy of Getz Au Go Go! It's a fantastic record indeed. Thanks for watching my friend :) Greetings all the way from Germany! Armien
I am sure they are more than amazing! I would also get some titles of the new AP Contemporary series. Too bad they are really expensive here in Germany. Thanks for watching! Armien
Not much to add here buddy. All incredible albums. A nice variety of different pressings here. Out of the afternoon and abstract truth are up there on my impulse want list. Glad to see you are doing well. Take care. - Kieran.
Nice to see you found two more Stan Getz albums. I can not give you any advice on Brazillian Jazz, as my collection consists of popular Brazillian music from the 60' to 80', some Bossa Nova but mainly from the Tropicalia movement. Enjoy your free time listening to records.
Hi Martin, good to hear from you! The brazilian music is really fascinating. I was just reading the wikipedia article about it. There are so many sub genres. I couldn't believe it! Thanks for watching, buddy! The Buena Vista Social Club will be available in a few days! FINALLY ! Armien
The offical website said: Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original tapes. I got the Talking Timbuktu Reissue from the same series and I have to say that I have the feeling that the upcoming BVSC will be more than amazing. I am reeeeaaally looking forward :)

Hi Armien, some really great jazzalbums! I loved these Stan Getz-albums. That "Jazz samba" album is high on my wishlist. I have an EP from it and it sounds really good! Stan Getz actually lived here in Sweden för many years, even though it wasn't the easiest time of his life. I also love Art Pepper so that album looked really interesting! Great video! Take care!
+JörgenS I didn't know that Stan Getz lived in Sweden. Very interesting! I would love to hear more things about the swedish Jazz scene. It seems like there was a real "scene" in Stockholm for example. There is this fantastic album by Art Farmer called "To Sweden With Love". Its high on my want list. Thanks for watching :) Armien

AudiophileLaws BarackaPDub is also interested in the Swedish jazzscene, so i think i will do a video in the near future about my favourite swedish jazzalbums and musiscians! :)
Armien excellent finds I'm still after that Roy Haynes Quartet a hard to come by record in any pressing . John Coltrane A Love Supreme a monster those Japanese pressings are made so well. I agree with you on My favorite Things his Atlantic version is the best. I finally found A Music Matters Empryean Isles and its a killer. Stan Getz another great player I need get Great stuff cool ads video Armien
Thanks for tuning in, Lovell! So cool to hear that you got a Music Matters pressing of Empyrean Isles. It's a wonderful album. All the best my friend! Armien
Always nice to see your jazz collection..love the misc japanese pressings you showed. Ever thought about showing us your prog collection? I personally would love to see that friend. Enjoy ur last few days off. Cheers! -greg mattingly
Hello Greg, thanks for the kind words! I should show my prog section at some point but it's not that good actually. I also want to do a new vertigo Swirl video at some point. Thanks for watching - all the best! Armien
Man I just watch this I think. Great ALS, I need the AP as well. Gotta love the French Impulse ... I have 10 I think ! The US thick cover is a plus. Out Of The Afternoon is in my top 10 Impulse. Roland Kirk is crazy ... I have that Shelly Manne but I have distortion everywhere :'( Haan I saw Takin' Off at Hors-Série for 15€, I found the cover to be really nice. Have the Getz Au Go Go but I don't know the other one, will check ! My Favorite Things Coltrane did on "Selflessness" is great too, with Roy Haynes instead of Elvin Jones, and of course you have all the fierce ones in his later period. You killed it with the Japanese pressings haha, that's addictive. I'm also very satisfied with those Back To Black/OJC Fantasy (Prestige, New Jazz, etc.), those are the ones to get cheap !
Good to hear that man! I still need to expand my coltrane section. We already talked about it but I could imagine that AP will do a 33 version of ALS one day. We'll see! Thanks for watching! Armien
man that's a real rarity in these days! I was just telling a friend about it and we both were impressed since we didn't even know that such a pressing exists. Thanks for sharing :) Armien
Nice update Armien; I also would like to find an analogue prod on that Coltrane, I have an og mono, but it's probably vg or vg+ at best/I'm still looking for that oliver Nelson, I have 'more blues and abstract blues' which is the second part, also recommended but this one you're showing is amazing/ only have that haynes on cd, such a great impulse release/ I can recommend you 'focus' on verve if you like Getz, I love this record/ cheers
Hello Chris, Sounds good! I still need to pick up "More Blues And The.." I will give Focus by Getz a listen. I really like his stuff on Verve. Thanks for watching my friend :) Have a good weekend! Armien
Nice to see Empyrean Isles and Takin' Off. Essential Hancock. It was also good to see all of the Japanese pressings you managed to pick up so cheaply. The shipping from Japan is what kills us here. For every record, I have managed to pick up there, the minimum to ship to the States is on the order of 18 dollars. Lots of great Impulse titles and I had not seen that Paul Chambers album before. I'll be on the look out for that one based on your recommendation.
Hi Paul, actually it's the same here. Shipping kills me every time but it gets a little cheaper when you place a big order. Shipping to Germany is around 15$ and 4$ for each additional item. We Three is a fantastic album indeed! I am sure you would like it! Thanks for watching my friend! Armien
Nice assortment of Jazz. If you ever come across Gary McFarlane check his stuff out you may enjoy it. Also I remember you said you like David Sanborn. His vinyl sounds amazing. His long time guitarist Hiram Bullock has some very cool stuff which is hard to find on vinyl, try that also you will enjoy it if you can find some! Keep up the great videos and thanks for all the information. Kurt
+Kurt Kalapach So cool that you remembered that I am a big David Sanborn fan. His album straight to the heart is one of my all time favorites. Marcus Miller on bass - just a killer combination. I will definitely look up Hiram Bullock. Thanks for the recommendation. All the best! Armien
Cool. My local shop had some Sonny Rollins (The Bridge) and Wes Montgomery (Boss Guitar) Japanese pressings for about 40-80USD$. A bit over priced for me. If they were less, I would definitely get them. Some of them ony had 6-8 songs on them, which is another reason why I didn't go for them.
Hello Ross, yes, I agree. 40-80$ is way too much for them. A price around 25-35 would be fair imo. I have a classic records pressing of The Bridge which I got surprisingly cheap. Maybe you can find one as well. Thanks for watching :) Armien
I've been spinning "We Three"...Great album! I also recently discovered Dorothy Ashby, Found a sealed copy of her album "Hip Harp" Worth looking up if you're not familiar with her.
Hi Armien, you shoud check out other records by Art Pepper; AcousticSounds has some very good titles and pressings, especially their Contemporary reissues. I think that Roy DuNann is a very underrated soundengineer; those older Art Pepper titles sound amazing!
Hello Robert, thanks for the recommendation! I just read about the Contemporary series on Analog Planet. I would love to get some of the titles. Unfortunately they are really expensive here. Never the less I will listen to some other Art Pepper titles. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend :) Armien
Thanks for watching! The yellow card is an index card that I add to every album in my collection. It features things like: The date I bought it, price, year of release etc. Armien
hey armein i just got 5 john coltrane lp. and my favorite things lp is great. listening now. you did a great video. how many lps do u own now man :) mike
Hello Mike, My favorite things is such a beautiful album! Cool to hear that you found some Coltrane. I have around 1900 Records in the collection now. Thanks for watching :) Armien
hey man love the finds another question I'd love to get into vinyl but cartridge mounting and setting the tracking force kinda scare me idk why any tips
Mounting the cartridge is a really important part indeed. Setting the tracking force is really easy since you can buy a small gauge for it. Adjusting the cartridge is a little more difficult but there are a lot of helpers as well. You can buy one of those scales and then carefully adjust it. Another option would be to buy a preinstalled turntable or go to a hifi store and ask them to set it all up. Thanks for watching :) Armien
Listening to records for 17 hours sounds like a day well spent. I just found copies of Jazz Samba and Getz Au Go Go for $1 at a thrift store. A good cleaning and $2 made my night amazing and I will be on the lookout for more Getz and Latin Jazz. Wish some of these Impulse pressings were more affordable. Can never find them out and about and the prices on Discogs and eBay seem to be over the top. Cant wait for the next video. Maybe with the time off you have you can get another one up in a couple of days!-Stav
+Spinnin' Greek man those were some cool finds for Stan Getz. I also want to get more Latin Jazz. The Impulse stuff is really hard to find here in Germany. Normally those pressings never appear. I always have to pay a lot for the shipping. I just heard that there will be some official Impulse reissues by Universal Music. Some interesting titles are included. Maybe that will be a good way to go. Thanks for watching :) Armien
+kenji drake haha now that's funny that you ask since I bought it only 3 weeks ago. It's still in my "new income" crate so I haven't listened to it yet but I'll put it on soon. Thanks for watching! Armien
Hahah that is funny wow. :) But that's awesome. Yeah I really want to get it soon on vinyl, it sounds really good. Where did you get it because everywhere I see online in the states it's a pretty expensive record. I live in California btw. Btw how long have you been collecting records? You have a ton of records!
Your welcome man! I love watching other peoples record collection to see what records I don't have that interest me and you have a lot of records I want haha
Hello AudioPH: Im new about turntables. D you thing expensive turntable like VPI vs Audiotechnica 1240 make difference like price difference it is? Thanks
+luka ingo Oh yes there is a huge difference. The audiotechnica is a DJ turntable. It is direct driven and also has a cheap cartridge. To my mind it's a bad turntable. In this price ranger I would always go with a Pro Ject Debut, a Rega or something like that. Of course the VPI's are a complete other leauge. Thanks for watching :) Armien
Hi Armien, When you buy from abroad do you normally have to pay custom fees or taxes please?, ie when you buy from Japan or the USA. many thanks in advance.
+Snakebite Vinyl Oh yes, shipping and taxes are a pain in the ass! Shipping a single record from Japan to Europe is around 15-20 Dollar. When it arrives here you have to pay 19% taxes and if your order is over 150$ you have to pay 3% additional custom fees. I am glad that one of my favorite stores has a crate full of japanese pressings. Thanks for watching :) Armien
