Nothing quite like the feeling of spotting a crate full of records and the anticipation of flipping through them 1 by 1...And the excitement you feel when you spot a record you have been searching for. It's like the feeling you get when you're a little kid on Christmas morning. 🙌🎶🎁🕵️
I'm 20 and My first vinyl purchase was 3 records when I was 16 Nirvana - Nevermind Metallica - ride The lightning Metallica - the black album I now own a bit over 100 lps now
I had a lot of the records mentioned here over the course of my musical journey but the one I had before all the others? The Thrilling Chilling Sounds Of The Haunted House 👍😎
Haven't had a record player since the 80s, but I still buy albums to decorate my walls. First record? The Beatles Yellow Submarine / Elenor Rigby 45 single when the movie Yellow Submarine first came out (I was about 8). Still have it on my wall! First album? The Beatles 1962-1966 when it first came out (I was about 11). My dad bought me my own stereo for my room just so he wouldn't have to listen to The Beatles all the time on his console!
My first album was "K-Tel Records Rock '81" (1981) Best Rock songs released in 1981 Rush "limelight", Heart "straight on", XTC "life begins at the hop", Blondie "the tide is high", The Boomtown Rats "i don't like mondays"......etc.....
This is a really cool video. I was born in 1960. So, I had a very interesting sociological view of the music scene through the 60s and into the 70s. The problem was always to try to find a decent record because I couldn't waste small resources that I had to buy records. Luckily, I ran into a guy at my high school who was really into Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and of all people Todd Rundgren. I remember spending many an afternoon at his home sitting in front of his colossal stereo system with its massive wall of sound listening to the most ridiculously amazing music. I remember one Todd Rundgren tune that was particularly amusing for me. The lyrics went something like: " Why don't you love me? Is it my name?". I wondered how many girls didn't love me just because of MY name. Classic.
Great documentary! Love hearing others people's stories and their connections to the music. Even though each one's individual tale is different, we all have that same excitement and emotional response. Thank you for making this!
I would not hang around the salt-and-pepper female who doesn't like records. I saw LL COOL J on SOUL TRAIN one Saturday and later my youngest sister and I went to MUSIC STOP to buy his first album and I became a fan of his ever since.
I'VE BEEN COLLECTING, DIGGIN' WHATEVER HAVE U FOR A LONG TIME. I USED TO THINK I WAS GONNA GET ALL O.G. COPIES OF ANYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR....NOT. NOW MY LOVE FOR THIS HAS GROWN SO MUCH...I DON'T GIVE A F@#$ WHAT SHAPE OR COPIES I FIND, REISSUES OR ORIGINAL... I'LL BUY IT AND IN ANY DAMN SHAPE....NOW THAT'S HOW REAL IT'S GOTTEN TO BE.
watched this many times, one thing though, why have a woman, who is not a record collector in this doc. ? is she too cool not to collect records? with that said, I love this doc.
24:43 These are not Animal Liberation Front type organisation addresses on Conflict album. These are actually addresses and telephone numbers of Orkney seal hunters! 😆😆😆
AM radio, to FM to harder FM to Album Hippie FM radio. Cassette tape on pause waiting for good song on the radio to record. Then all commercial radio stations bought up by 2 companies. Bean counter accountants used "least objectionable principal" so people wouldn't change stations. . Generic drivel with no soul. At least people in what is left of the music people are the people there for the right reasons. Rap was way to wash drug money. Still is.
Im a glass is half full guy. If Records are Collecting Dust...thats one less Hipster who is Destroying the EP/LP face by trying to Scratch reverse/forward on Albums that deserve pristine almost Museum like Preservation. Every single amd LP i ever got in the early 70s-80s-and 90s all got the same Honorable treatment... I collected my Newspaper Delivery money, my thousands of Lawn mowed and Lifeguarding shifts to buy my favorite Album at about one a week. I meticulously cleaned the area..used a razor to cut the shrink wrap..used cloth gloves like i was handeling Plutonium, cleaned needles and used my stereo to record every album on audio cassette... Then I reshrink wrapped and nneatly boxed and store the albums so i could listen to the cassete, with my 1970s huge earphones while gazing at the album art and transported to wherever the art and music took me. I did this for decades, and almost never had to reopen any in my collection. I tried for either never opening(as sometimes i bought two..one tos store and collect and one to use)..but i can count on one hand those Albums I put the needle to more than once...and they were ALL DISNEY records(donald duck, davy crocket, sing-along-LP with story books)
Ha! Awesome. I did the same thing. Save up all my lawn mowing money and whatnot and my Mom would drive me to the record store. Bring the record home, staring at the cover while gently putting side A on. Recorded a majority of them to cassette and put the vinyl away for safe keeping. When people see my "punk" records a lot of them say "Dude! Did you ever play these!" Ha Ha!
Love the doc. Very interesting. A great deal of info I never new about music. Not a punk or alt type of guy but loved the film. Peace love and rock and roll ✌️
nothing like watching people who love records so much they are in a documentary about them and see them handle them like a football.. grabbing them all over with their hands and fingers... ugggg .. just awful to watch.. couldn't take it anymore and stopped watching
Sorry but all this record/vinyl documentaries are the same. Some guys talking about there records, talking about ancient times. Why does nobody has a different idea about making a film about records? This is boring, there are so many things you can bring to the table, are these film makers not more creative? Just talking about records, everybodys interview cut into pieces and thats enough? Not for me, thumbs down, I just waisted my time and not my money....so no damage done.
@@alanzweig5766 Hi Alan, I saw yours and in the beginning I did not know what to think about it. But I watched it about 5 times so far and now I can say I really like it. It makes me think about myself, what I am doing and that is a great thing, that is something I am looking for in a movie. I was into collecting tobacco pipes and I had one of the top collections in the world, but finally I quit smoking and sold everything, just to tell you I know what collecting is about and what it can do with you. My walls in my apartment where yellow:-) Now with records I don't want to do this again and movies like yours help me, it makes me look in the mirror. I have a wife and a house and a nice record collection, but nothing crazy. I am a professional musician all my live and so collecting music comes easy. Thank you for your movie, you did a great job and I will watch it again during the holidays. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
@@jasonblackmore4627 I saw the trailer for your Coachella record store dig documentary and it looked great. I always check out these vinyl docs because I made one and I'm making another one. And usually I don't think they're that great but yours looks like something much better. Congrats. If you ever have a link, I'd love to see it.
