Next, whether you are starting a new collection or are already a seasoned collector, check out some top tips for sorting your collection in my 10 Ways to Organize Your Vinyl Record Collection video. Some of them are ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! Watch that next here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGxm2sdvoLmzf7w.html

Buy what you love, (from start to end) stream everything first and test listen first. I LOVE the hobby, crazy expensive, pain in the arse, inconsistent quality... love it

I grew up before CDs, and remember Tower records even before cassettes. But I am retired in Northern Thailand and I love music. I live in a hotel room and so I have 15 mp3 players with thousands of hours of downloaded music. Listened to three Bob Dylan albums this morning. Sounded great.

Being passionate about music and vinyl records is important. If you don’t have the passion, just forget it. It’s a labor of love. You have a vast knowledge of music. Ain’t nothing better than crate digging and talking with the other patrons in a record store about music. Punk, 90s gangsta rap/hip hop and metal have the best cover artwork. Great Non MALT LIQUOR Video.

so true

I mostly collect videogame music vinyls, and you might be surprised on how big and engaging that community is. i was pleasantly surprised by it. however pressings are really limited

I suffer from OCD so for me playing new vinyls that I had just bought made for a very stressful experience. At some point for that and other reasons I fully embraced the digital format. No worries there and just pure fun listening to music. I think vinyl is great, its just not for me for obvious reasons.

Favourite Vinyl channel discovery. Look forward to digging back through your uploads. I sold all my vinyl back in the late 8os and went all in on CDs. Getting back into vinyl has given me a lot of joy during a tough time in my life. Nostalgia definitely but for me it has also been discovering genres and new avenues of music through the passions of a vibrant vinyl community which I'd lost faith in during the Spotify era. Great video

@@AndyFenstermaker Andy Shauf is a very whimsical singer songwriter I've been listening to a lot It's pretty simple writing but I like some of the instrumental flourishes he incorporates like dropping in a clarinet here and there and his voice is earnest and relatable and he knows his way around a melody. On the heavier side of things the new Bully record is just a great 90's era rock record for lovers of Veruca Salt. Picked up Jonothan Wilson Dixie Blur quite cheaply on Amazon. Have appreciated him the past without loving his stuff but to me this is head and shoulders above his previous releases and sounds fantastic on vinyl (like most of his stuff)

@andrewarmstrong4741 I’m familiar with Bully and Shauf, but not sure about Wilson - will have to check it out!

I have stayed away from Vinyl because i know I have an addictive personality and i would get carried away with it. But it is my 40th this year and my parents wanted to get me something that i have always wanted and couldn't keep. So i have decided to get a player. But i still collect cds at the moment (recently picked up 4 albums for the cost if a coffee) so i reckon i am just gonna get my favorite albums on Vinyl not every album i want to buy............but that will probably change 😂 Interesting video mate.

Just as an update to this statement. It has been a month and I'm up to 62 records 😂. Wish I had never started 😏

Great stuff, agree with all your points.

Great video. I'm just getting back into vinyl ... I had no idea why I'm suddenly drawn to it now, but I realised i seem to really enjoy the thrill of the hunt and the large selection of artwork on album covers. But it's also relaxing to close the world out, put on a vinyl, and just decompress after a long day at work.

@AndyFenstermaker I listen to mainstream stuff really, but I've asked for a bunch of LP's off Santa this year such as Toto, Hendricks, Funkadelic and Van Halen. Can't wait to spin those!

thanks for video ...Thumb UP

I have vinyl and cd and even cassette player

Analogue playback devices do not deliver sonic nuance. Source: me. After listening to vinyl records for 50 years and being a collector for 45, I'm allowed to say this. You can get used to vinyl, you can find it comforting, tactile, pleasing, fun to read the cover, sleeve notes, but don't talk about nuance. A properly mastered CD will deliver all the frequency response and dynamic range of the original master recording. Any vinyl playback will have surface noise, rumble, and even feedback if you turn it up too much. It doesn't matter how clean or pristine it is. And that gets in the way. But I love my LP's. I love cleaning them on my Spin Clean and assessing their condition. Compact cassettes delivered convenience and custom programming. Then iPods came along and it was glorious. Ten thousand songs in your pocket! Now Spotify delivers everything. Everything that is except the audiophile experience on proper home audio systems. For that, I go back to CD's when I need respite.

I keep wanting to get into vinyl for a while. I don't think I'm able to tell the difference between vinyl and digital, but I've always been fascinated by the "analogueness" of it. (similar to film cameras) I watched both your videos (Should and Shouldn't) and I'm so conflicted. Space is indeed an issue, but I also don't plan on building some huge collection, more like a few albums I really enjoy. But then my music taste is the real problem. It changes a lot, and I listen to some niche music a lot of the time. So I wonder if I should spend on a turntable for the few records that I want and can find at a reasonable price. I'm not really expecting an answer, just putting my thoughts out there.

Totally understand! It’s one of those things that you have to commit to if you go all in. The cost of a solid system, the increased cost of vinyl, it all adds up. If you do, I’d say ONLY go for the ones you TRULY love through and through. If it’s a record you enjoy start to finish and have loved the album for years, you’re more likely to keep it and not get tired of it…

Nice

Sadly I do not. 74 … impressive collection!!!

If you have lots of money go vinyl, if you like; if you are on a fixed income (like me), or low income, go CD, I rip my CD's to play on my Sony (Flash, and 8GB) MP3 Players.

CDs, though smaller in size, also have visual appeal. And have to be taken out of their cases and inserted in a player. Likewise the LPs.

Your reasons against were fairly objective. You reasons for are definitely subjective, as well as repetitive and specious. Methinketh that the current worship of records is a product of communal marketing and pretentious emulation of the so-called cool guys.

Fix the acustic in you'r room... sound terrible...

thats a personal choice. there are pros and cons for anything.

The vinyl community need noobs to increase the number of consumers and inflate the prices of records.

Because you like vinyl records???

Here you are again. We got your point and we are not interested just sell your records and stop making clips antagonizing others.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂in a viedo you giv reasons not to collect vinyals a d here you tak something different. So actually what is it

Vinyl overpriced and overhyped and still wears out over time and still sucks.If u like pops and ticks and distortion and crackling and wow and flutter and warping then you can have it.
