#4 is interesting- I collect 90’s hip hop, which was released on CD, so the reissues are digitally sourced and often are double or even triple albums due to the amount of tracks contained on CD’s, and the vinyl can be over 50 euros, so why not collect the original CD for a fraction of the price in it’s originally intended format? You can collect 90’s hip hop singles of your favourite track’s although those are much harder to find but I do have fun hunting them Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
@vinylstockholm10 күн бұрын
Hi Dean, excellent point, that's my thought too. This mostly applies to records from the 90s, when CDs were standard. As you said, the artist started making longer albums, as the CD could hold more minutes, so the vinyl releases are often 2 LPs (and pressed from a digital source). So for me in these cases the original CD is better and much cheaper! Now, I'm just repeating what you said, but I totally agree. Good luck hunting those hiphop singles. Cheers!

I get the idea that you (and we) listen to music via different formats, but what is so important about having an original? Would that be an original in your country? Or an original from the artist's home country? Does it have to be a genuine first pressing?

Great video, lovely to see how sane vinyl enthusiasts collect. Your manifesto is an intelligent way to avoid you collection spiralling out of control. There's no way I could be so steadfast in abiding by rules. I'm a vinyl scavenger by nature. I don't know what I'm going to buy until I see it. Luckily I adhere to some of your rules by default. Many of the records I collect only had one pressing, so I don't have much choice in pressings. Yay! One of my favourite folky country albums from the 70s is by a group called The Flatlanders. The album was originally only released on 8-Track tape. I'm sorry, there's no way I'm seeking that out a good 8-Track player to play one 8-Track tape. Good luck on your quest. Cheers - Hedley

I should have commented on your previous vid but will do it here. I've no problem with your manifesto, it's your rules. I don't follow all of them but a few are similar to mine. I absolutely buy OGs and don't buy many reissues, one or two a year. To me there are enough OG records out there that I find in the real world that I blow my budget on which means I don't have to consider reissues. I love one trackers (library, OSTs, funky easy listening) but that's the only way to own those tracks. Others have said it here but the VC isn't really made up of Acid Archive/Galactic Ramble folk. They want the latest audiophile pressing or own 4 copies of a 70s AOR etc LP and know the LP inside out. Many would flick past a rare private press in a dollar bin. Not being disrespectful to those collectors, that's just the reality. I bought Acid Archives when the 1st edition came out and only concentrated on buying the cheap recommendations in the back of the book as that was where I was as a collector at that time. Most of us change as collectors over the years. Back in the 90s a VG record was fine but for the last 15 years or so it has to be EX/NM. BTW I noticed Mary-Ann Paterson pop up on your blog. Had the chance to buy an OG of that recently but was not convinced at all, even though the urge to own it was still there due to rarity. I passed it on to a friend instead. Cheers Nige

Hi Nigel. I 100% agree, of course you change as a collector over the years. Like pressings, condition and the type of music you look for. It would be strange to do the same thing over and over, I want to explore and find new (old) music. VC is new to me, so we'll see what happens. I still have the Mary-Anne "Me" LP. Got it a long time ago from Richard Morton Jack actually. It's one of those records that I might sell at some point, there are a few great songs, but I could use it in a trade to get something better. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers! /Jonas.

Good rules tailored to your personal collection, no doubt. Good for others too probably, as long as you don't take them too literally and pedantically! Just be aware that there are other approaches to collecting very different from your own. Once you seriously start collecting the records of a certain artist you particularly like, for instance, you WILL want later pressings and formats to complement the original, and you WILL want cheapo compilations that have a song of your collecting interest on them. Without "completists" there would be no discographies out there, as you need all the records to write a good one! And then there's historically motivated collecting, like assembling all issues by a certain label in numerical order to learn what they did at the time (a popular pastime with 45s), which WILL bring a lot of music into your house that you don't particularly like, and with it comes the risk of ignoring good music because "it is on the wrong label". In the end, many roads lead to Rome as they say! Any real collecting that is more than ticking off the Record Store Day list every year in the hope that the things raise in price, but is born of a love either for certain music, or a certain product from a bygone era, or both, is worth pursuing in a way that makes your personal life better every day :)

That was great stuff, Jonas. Of course, to each their own like you said. Rules are meant to be personal, not for a group. I am nearly exclusively a collector of originals for many of the same reasons as you. In general, I think everyone should have a manifesto or set of guidelines that informs their buying habits, otherwise you end up buying everything and often listening to nothing. A big 'limiter' for me is space; I have a certain amount of space that I am willing to dedicate to records, so I have to have guidelines, but mostly I enjoy the sounds of the way the album came out originally. I do have a few albums that came out on cassette originally and those are the formats I have hose albums in. Anyway, very enjoyable video and thank you for sharing. Cheers, Tom

I think you're okay. It may have felt like you were passing judgment on other collectors even though you weren't. In addition a sizable part of the VC is audiophiles and that market is largely fueled by reissues. Maybe a few audiophiles might be defensive about OG collectors always going on about the superiority of originals. Who knows? My only slight disagreement with your manifesto related to compilations. Throughout the Seventies several music labels would release these compilations of artists on that label. At the time it was an excellent way of introducing listeners to performers they wouldn't have heard otherwise. I actually find these fun but like I said this is a very minor point. Now I feel like I've gone on too long. Have a good one. Happy collecting.

I gotta say I disagree with half of your points but enjoyed the video and subbed. I had an original VU and Nico album that I stole when I was 13 but I don't have that anymore. I have a decent 2nd or 3rd press but 90% of the banana is missing. I AM the king of my collection!

YES you are the king of your collection! Yeah, most of the time the banana is peeled, but still you have 10% left, and that's great! And the music is the same. Thanks a lot for commenting and subscribing!

When I first started collecting, it was mostly 45s so I'm always interested. Jonas and 6inchpianist are giving me profound vinyl envy over their latest acquisitions. Thanks for introducing me to Favourite Sons. There aren't many British groups of that era I haven't heard of. And I think Jonas and Harris Pilton are my new favorite vinyl bromance. Great video.
Hi Joe! Bromance haha, I like that! Cool that I could introduce something new for you, Favourite Sons is a nice one. That's so great with collecting, you always discover new things. Cheers!
Nice video.
Many thanks!
Just stumbled across your channel. Interesting set of rules. We definitely collect differently, but that’s what makes this hobby this great! We all have our own preferences and can curate a collection that represents who we are. Enjoy the hunt! Hopefully I’ll see you in future videos 😉👍
Hi Latte, totally agree! I've just subbed to your channel, looks nice. Cheers!
@@vinylstockholm thanks mate! I appreciate the support! 💪
I always enjoy seeing 7” picture sleeves. That Cure single is awesome.
Agree, it's a killer! Cheers
Surprisingly the sample you played of the band from Kazakhstan sounded great. The album cover is very deceptive.
Hi Richie! Yes, that song is a psychedelic masterpiece. I'm still amazed that it was recorded in the mid-70s in Kazakhstan. I have a link to the full song in the description. The cover sure shows some psych heads in disguise. 😂
Found your channel from Vinyl Dood. (I'm a fellow VC content creator / memer nerd) them: "DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE! I HATE RULES!" meanwhile, them: "why do i have no record money? records are soo expensive :(" A wise man once said "your freedom ends where someone else's begins", and of course none of that is going on here. That's your whole point, & you put it so excellently. Collect! Enjoy! We all do that by default, anyway right? However, as an intelligent & better-educated community, it better serves us & others trying to collect- & thus adds to the enjoyment even more - when we can *curate*. Questlove talks a lot about curation, & I highly recommend him. Yeah man. Super appreciate you. Keep on groovin' your way & happy to be a new sub here! -mark
Hi Mark, thanks for tuning in. And well put, I think the word "curate" is spot on. That's what you should do with your collection, curate it for yourself. I'll check out Questlove. Thanks again, take care.
That’s a grail of mine! Came close to splashing out on a copy recently. Great video, Jonas!
Cheers Jack. Yes, it's a great album, you'll get it one day. Good luck!
this was great. The Scientists single is massive, I do have a reproduction single of that. Incredible song. Same goes for the Bardot track, incredible though I do not have. Wow, word is out on that Minders. "Build" is a secret dj track for me. Insanely catchy song. Enjoyed all of this, nice work
Haha, sorry for outing your secret DJ track! 😂 I know, it's an instantly catchy and cool track. I actually found out about it quite recently, and this is the best thing with collecting records, you'll find new stuff all the time. The source is endlessly deep. Cheers!
Millenials styled like Generation X
Hey Jonas, cheers for the mention!. BB;s 'Contact' was a big one for me, as it was the opening track on David Holmes 1998 Essential Mix compilation CD. Well worth checking the tracklist out for that, some fairly psychadelic sevemties stuff in that mix. Unfortunately never had a vinyl release.
Yeah, Contact is a very cool song. Thanks for the tip, I'll check out that David Holmes comp. Cheers!
Hey Jonas, what a great selection of records! I haven't heard of Dos-Mukasan before, but I really liked the little snippet that you played. I'll definitely need to have another listen to them. I like The Tall Dwarves but haven't heard that album before. I love Surf's Up... what a great album! The Wah Wah concerto album sounded really cool too. Look forward to diggin into your channel more and seeing what else you put out in the future! Cheers, Jack
Hi Jack! Thanks for tuning in. Yes, I'm blown away by Dos-Mukasan, very cool. I have a link in the description to the whole song. I've recently found your channel and I have started to check out your videos. I like what I have seen so far, so keep it up! Cheers /Jonas
Hey man. You say to go out and get those records like they're readily available and cheaply priced! C'mon man. I stay away from Best Of lps. I respect your opinion, but disagree on some points. Peace ✌ ☮ 🕊
Hey man! Haha, of course they are not always easy to find. Sometimes it takes many years before they turn up at the right price. But the hunt makes it more exciting. We all collect differently, but we all love the music. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Peace!
Cool selection of tracks Jonas, great video. Harris is the best chap in the vinyl community, no doubt.
Thanks a lot! Yes I agree, he seems like a very nice guy. Cheers!
You always have to remember....before vinyl made a huge comeback and before there was youtube there were guys with no friends who sat in their basement all day eating Mac N Cheese and playing records. Now that the internet has allowed them to "come out of the basement" and interact with people....and they have NO IDEA HOW!!! The great thing about this musical world is that you are NOT WRONG for how you collect, what you listen to, or how you choose to do it. My collecting habits are totally different than yours, but I can understand you are SHARING yourself with us, not preaching to us. Sorry for the crap you got from some!
Hi! Everyone collects in different ways, and I'm totally fine with that. Take care and thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Too bad the negative commentors didn’t also sub the channel, some people may get triggered by the word manifesto, who knows? Lol We all have mental manifestos as collectors you were just brave enough to share it
Hi again, yes I know, the word Manifesto is a bit provocative I guess. But it was fun to put my thoughts down in that format, and it sparked some healthy debate. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care!
#4 is interesting- I collect 90’s hip hop, which was released on CD, so the reissues are digitally sourced and often are double or even triple albums due to the amount of tracks contained on CD’s, and the vinyl can be over 50 euros, so why not collect the original CD for a fraction of the price in it’s originally intended format? You can collect 90’s hip hop singles of your favourite track’s although those are much harder to find but I do have fun hunting them Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Dean, excellent point, that's my thought too. This mostly applies to records from the 90s, when CDs were standard. As you said, the artist started making longer albums, as the CD could hold more minutes, so the vinyl releases are often 2 LPs (and pressed from a digital source). So for me in these cases the original CD is better and much cheaper! Now, I'm just repeating what you said, but I totally agree. Good luck hunting those hiphop singles. Cheers!
Singles could be fun to. The Mekons single here was really cool. Leaving here by Eddie Holland and the Who also did it. Thought manifestos was for terrorist ...
Yes right, Eddie Holland, I forgot when I shot the film. The Mekons song is just great, I love it. Haha, manifestos are for lunatics for sure. Take care!
I have the first 7" by Apples In Stereo when they were just The Apples. Nice. Flying Nun, 3Ds..yes to them. I've been working my way through my 45s/7" collection starting in 1950 and going forward. I'm in 1966 now and wow..what a year! Garage and soul! Psych entering the sound. I have thousands of 7" and I'm trying to decrease the number. Doubles, records that I don't need or not great sound quality are going out the door. Many will go to thrift stores and some to a guy who sells 45s of mine and gives me credit and lastly to a generous store that I visit a couple of times a year. I'm a long way from stores so discogs and eBay are my friends.
Very cool! I don't have the Tidal Wave EP by The Apples, but it's on my wantlist. I love their early stuff. Sounds like you have a huge collection of singles, must be a lot of fun going through them. And yes, 1966 was a great year for singles! Cheers!
I have a radio show on a local university radio station and singles are best for DJing as I don’t have to haul have LP’s or hunt for a track in the middle of side 1 and accidentally play the wrong one, especially hard with coloured vinyl. Singles are fun, I always had a small collection but it has recently grown into about 300, I especially love punk singles and indie rock bands from the 90’s because they were still sending out singles for airplay on radio stations. You should definitely do a part 2 & 3 to this video
I have around 300 singles myself. My love for these small records has grown over the years. And they are great for DJing. I will definitely do more videos about singles. Thanks for watching and commenting!
It was Harris Pilton's video that lead me to your channel. He is always worth watching.
Agreed! He seems like a really nice guy. Very entertaining videos.
I'm happy that the mild controversies that your manifesto stirred up brought the video to my KZread algorithm's attention. It was a joy to watch. Also, the manifesto was beautifully formatted. I enjoy time traveling with my records, too. Original pressings will take you to places that reissues and compilations can't reach. As someone who doesn't stream outside of KZread, I'm happy to listen to some reissues, but I will never love them. They will always feel somewhat cold and impersonal. Thanks, Jacob
Hi Jacob, many thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yes, I know the time travel analogy is pretty fuzzy, but i like it. Cool you like it too. Take care!
Subscribed, no need to explain why you collect the way you do its your life bollocks to the haters
Many thanks Malcolm! Cheers!
I get the idea that you (and we) listen to music via different formats, but what is so important about having an original? Would that be an original in your country? Or an original from the artist's home country? Does it have to be a genuine first pressing? Apologies if I missed your explanation (I didn't see your original video, just this second edition), but it seems like you're advocating collecting museum pieces.
Hi! I'm not advocating anything, I'm just sharing how I collect. I thought I explained quite well in the video why I only buy originals. I'm not that picky with county pressings, but generally I prefer a UK pressing for a UK band and so on, but it's not a must. And early second pressings are sometimes ok for me. Thanks for watching and commenting, take care!
Hello. This is Rick Saucedo, the writer. A fan purchased the CD directly from me, and let me know about your video.Thank you for showcasing this album. It was not well received by Elvis fans, however, it was very appreciated by the psychedelic fans. I will watch your videos as they are available.
Hi Rick! Very cool that you found this video, and very cool that someone who saw this video bought your cd. I'm a big fan of "Heaven Was Blue" and your LP is a jewel in my collection. Hope I got all the facts right, it's only based on my research online. Anyway, thanks for the great music! Peace and love /Jonas
1 - Ja, but you didn't explain why. 2 - Ja, obviously. 3 - Ja. 4 - Nej, hell no. 5 - Obviously, ja. 6 - absolut, ja, säljer på en gång om det funkar inte för mig. 7 - yes, the biggest of those rules. Finns band jag har över 100 releases av, helt Ok med at jag saknar 2-3, pga jag älskar inte dessa. 7 - Yes.
Hey Stunty, hoppas allt är bra! Thanks for commenting. We agree on most points then :) I did a follow-up video where I elaborate a little about it, especially about rule 1, if you're interested. Cheers!
@@vinylstockholm Ska kolla ^^6 dagar i Sunne just nu, där jag bokar en festival för Fredag- Lördagen
Oh, this is going to trigger a bunch of geriatric idiots in the VC. Which is 99% of it! Anyway, collect what you want and how you want. Rule 1 is law. Enjoyed!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
This sounds interesting. I’m definitely going to investigate further. Thanks. Just subbed too!
Awesome, yes do that. It's a very interesting album. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Hey Jonas, new subscriber thanks to HarrisPiltons shout out, some interesting takes you have there, I'm wondering the Beatles album you don't own, I'll guess either Beatles for sale or LIB? I have loads of Los Angles doowop comps that I love, actually I've just remembered some of those are on Swedish labels, but finding those on vinyl, I'd look and feel like Moses if by some miracle I happened to succeed, and as for completists, well I've an awful funny feeling I'm going to be a beach boys completist one day, which is absolutely nuts if you've heard anything at all about their later turkeys!! Cheers!
Hi John, great points. Some compilations are the only way to get some rare tracks on vinyl for sure. Don't know much about doowop, but I guess there are some very rare stuff there. Good guess, but I have both LIB and For Sale. I don't have Yellow Submarine and With the Beatles at the moment, but records come and go here. Being a completist of Beach Boys is a massive task, I wish you the best luck finding them all! Take care and thank for commenting. Cheers!
I have a Mind Games original! I don't restrict my collecting to originals, but equally there are some guys who buy the reissues, like the Beatles box sets, and then never play them! It takes all sorts to make a vinyl community!
Hi Mark, you are absolutely right about that! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Great video, lovely to see how sane vinyl enthusiasts collect. Your manifesto is an intelligent way to avoid you collection spiralling out of control. There's no way I could be so steadfast in abiding by rules. I'm a vinyl scavenger by nature. I don't know what I'm going to buy until I see it. Luckily I adhere to some of your rules by default. Many of the records I collect only had one pressing, so I don't have much choice in pressings. Yay! One of my favourite folky country albums from the 70s is by a group called The Flatlanders. The album was originally only released on 8-Track tape. I'm sorry, there's no way I'm seeking that out a good 8-Track player to play one 8-Track tape. Good luck on your quest. Cheers - Hedley
Hey Hedley! Don't know about that "sane" part though 😂 I haven't gotten so deep that I'm looking for 8 tracks, yet. But I have a friend here who collects 8 tracks, it's amazing how many obscure titles he's found, even old Swedish prog/psych releases. I have to check The Flatlanders, thanks for the tip. Take care and thanks for commenting!
I should have commented on your previous vid but will do it here. I've no problem with your manifesto, it's your rules. I don't follow all of them but a few are similar to mine. I absolutely buy OGs and don't buy many reissues, one or two a year. To me there are enough OG records out there that I find in the real world that I blow my budget on which means I don't have to consider reissues. I love one trackers (library, OSTs, funky easy listening) but that's the only way to own those tracks. Others have said it here but the VC isn't really made up of Acid Archive/Galactic Ramble folk. They want the latest audiophile pressing or own 4 copies of a 70s AOR etc LP and know the LP inside out. Many would flick past a rare private press in a dollar bin. Not being disrespectful to those collectors, that's just the reality. I bought Acid Archives when the 1st edition came out and only concentrated on buying the cheap recommendations in the back of the book as that was where I was as a collector at that time. Most of us change as collectors over the years. Back in the 90s a VG record was fine but for the last 15 years or so it has to be EX/NM. BTW I noticed Mary-Ann Paterson pop up on your blog. Had the chance to buy an OG of that recently but was not convinced at all, even though the urge to own it was still there due to rarity. I passed it on to a friend instead. Cheers Nige
Hi Nigel. I 100% agree, of course you change as a collector over the years. Like pressings, condition and the type of music you look for. It would be strange to do the same thing over and over, I want to explore and find new (old) music. VC is new to me, so we'll see what happens. I still have the Mary-Anne "Me" LP. Got it a long time ago from Richard Morton Jack actually. It's one of those records that I might sell at some point, there are a few great songs, but I could use it in a trade to get something better. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers! /Jonas.
Dos Mukasan is great find. I have tried to find psych, jazz rock Melodija titles from St. Petersburg without luck. Soviet grail series have great reissues of rare record like Sato or Gunesh. Too bad that world situation is what it is and can't support russian labels.
Yeah, the world is weird now, in so many ways. But anyway, I'm very happy with the Dos Mukasan LP, really cool one.
Maybe you should start a thread with this. "What are the first 5 rules in your music collecting manifesto?"
That's a good idea! This is obviously something engaging and I would love to hear what people have to say. We'll see. Thanks for commenting, take care!
You really did get quite a bunch of fury on your manifesto! Well, I've started to get some too. As you know, you can account for others tastes in what they do. Just yours. I really like having a set of rules specifically in that it controls your spending and keeps you on focus. Which can be a problem for me. Getting to much, and buying in too many ways means less enjoyment overall A more enjoyment to the records and music you love the most.
Yes, I believe that if your collection gets too big, you kinda loose contact with it. I've said it before, (for me) a healthy record collection is like a breathing organism, record in, records out. And for every breath it gets better and more groovy. Also, it keeps your spending from running wild. Selling and trading is the way forward for me. Good luck with your reissue sale. Cheers!
Don’t think you had to explain yourself, but I understand why you did, and you explained yourself really well! Good work, I’ve subscribed because of your t-shirt alone! Keep up the good work fella 😉
Many thanks! Yes, I know I didn't have to, but I wanted. And thanks for subscribing, that t-shirt is a sub magnet 😂
I liked your original video you really know what you want and that's what is important don't pay attention to all those negative comments if that's what you like its your choice
Thanks a lot! And no worries really, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Take care!
Good rules tailored to your personal collection, no doubt. Good for others too probably, as long as you don't take them too literally and pedantically! Just be aware that there are other approaches to collecting very different from your own. Once you seriously start collecting the records of a certain artist you particularly like, for instance, you WILL want later pressings and formats to complement the original, and you WILL want cheapo compilations that have a song of your collecting interest on them. Without "completists" there would be no discographies out there, as you need all the records to write a good one! And then there's historically motivated collecting, like assembling all issues by a certain label in numerical order to learn what they did at the time (a popular pastime with 45s), which WILL bring a lot of music into your house that you don't particularly like, and with it comes the risk of ignoring good music because "it is on the wrong label". In the end, many roads lead to Rome as they say! Any real collecting that is more than ticking off the Record Store Day list every year in the hope that the things raise in price, but is born of a love either for certain music, or a certain product from a bygone era, or both, is worth pursuing in a way that makes your personal life better every day :)
You're right, I'm fully aware that there are different approaches to collecting, and I embrace that, it's a good thing we collect differently. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happy collecting!
I got two of "ultimate holy grails" lasr year. Those were the top of pyramid of my collecting purposes. After I have been feeling little empty. Why I am collecting? I wish to be music lover again enjoying only music, not OG pressing... Anyway, what is your favorite record stores in Stockholm?
Haha, yes I can probably relate to that feeling. I think my favourite store here is An Ideal For Living, very close to where I live. In fact, I have ten minutes walking distans to around ten record stores. Still I find it hard to find the stuff I'm looking for.
@@vinylstockholm Thanks for tip. Next time when visiting Srockholm, I'll check the store.
Nice to find new Nordic vinyl channel. There us too few of us. I liked your list and I should do my own. My problem is I am interested so many genres and specially new music... so buying too many records/cassettes from bands from gigs.
Thanks Tommy! Yes, very nice to find more in the vs from the Nordics I've subscribed to your channel, looking forward to check it out. Cheers!
@@vinylstockholm Tack. Not sure how my channel interest you, 'because it's more in hardcore. Maybe video that is out later today could interest. There is top 50 most expensive finnish records, so 70s prog rock included. It's in finnish (I do in both languages), but easy to follow anyway.
I can accept that you only collect originals, but I cannot accept that you call it "vinyls." Kidding....sort of. Thanks for elaborating on what you meant. A lot of the vinyl community tends to act like streaming doesn't even exist.
😂 I blame it 100% on being Swedish and English is not my first language. I googled it and it seem to be a hot potato. So from now on I won't be this sloppy. Thanks for pointing it out. Cheers!
Dude, loved the manifesto! Showed your collecting personality and how you think, also saw the humor in it. Don’t listen to anyone who takes this too seriously!
Thanks for taking it the right way! It's not meant to be that serious 🙂 Take care!
Though I don't have so many stringent rules I follow when it comes to buying records for my own collection, I do have a life-long goal/project that I'm S-L-O-W-L-Y working towards, in that I want to own a 1st pressing copy, as close to mint as possible, of every record in the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die book. In that goal, the records HAVE to be 1st pressings, that is non-negotiable...as you can imagine I'm achieving this only incredibly slowly, with only around 50 of the records being accumulated so far
Wow, that's an amazing goal. But as you say, it will take a long time. Good luck with finding all those wonderful records! Thanks for commenting, take care!
For me it's about the nostalgia artwork and if it's coloured vinyl that's a bonus
Yes, the artworks are often great! Coloured vinyl is really not my thing though. Thanks for commenting, take care!
rules are made to be broken when I shop for records 1) do I want it? 2) can I afford it? when those two answers are yes = buy it simple rule many compilations are great never say never enjoy your music
Those are two really good rules! I know, some compilations are killer. But why take the easy way and buy a compilation when you can work hard to track down 10 singles instead? 😂 Thanks for commenting! Enjoy the music yourself.
What you do - and why you do it that way - makes 100% total sense to me. I also like a man that knows his own mind. And follows his own rules. Kudos 👍 And you just got another (yes, male) subscriber 😃
Thanks a lot Mike! Great comment😂 And thanks for subscribing, take care!
That was great stuff, Jonas. Of course, to each their own like you said. Rules are meant to be personal, not for a group. I am nearly exclusively a collector of originals for many of the same reasons as you. In general, I think everyone should have a manifesto or set of guidelines that informs their buying habits, otherwise you end up buying everything and often listening to nothing. A big 'limiter' for me is space; I have a certain amount of space that I am willing to dedicate to records, so I have to have guidelines, but mostly I enjoy the sounds of the way the album came out originally. I do have a few albums that came out on cassette originally and those are the formats I have hose albums in. Anyway, very enjoyable video and thank you for sharing. Cheers, Tom
Hi Tom! Sounds like we have similar view on collecting. Space is also an issue for me, and when a collection gets too large, you loose your connection to it. I think of a collection like a breathing organism. Records in, records out. But after each breath, the collection gets a little bit better. Now I'm spacing out a bit, but anyway. Thanks for sharing your views. Take care!
@@vinylstockholm We ARE alike! You refer to your collections as a 'breathing organism,' and I refer to mine as 'fluid' (I like your description better). I have no problem parting with albums that I don't want to listen to anymore. Killer over filler.
I think you're okay. It may have felt like you were passing judgment on other collectors even though you weren't. In addition a sizable part of the VC is audiophiles and that market is largely fueled by reissues. Maybe a few audiophiles might be defensive about OG collectors always going on about the superiority of originals. Who knows? My only slight disagreement with your manifesto related to compilations. Throughout the Seventies several music labels would release these compilations of artists on that label. At the time it was an excellent way of introducing listeners to performers they wouldn't have heard otherwise. I actually find these fun but like I said this is a very minor point. Now I feel like I've gone on too long. Have a good one. Happy collecting.
Thanks Joe! I agree about old label samplers, there are some cool compilations on Vertigo, Harvest etc. And sometimes when these compilations has unique material, even I go for it. Thanks for sharing your views!
I don't follow most of your rules but enjoyed discovering your channel. I think best of compilations are fine for certain commercially successful artists that don't have good deep tracks, and especially for stuff like collections of rare garage rock songs or music of a certain country/geographical area.
Thanks! Agreed, there are some excellent well curated garage/psych compilations for sure, and some of those singles are very hard to find. Great way to explore certain genres. Cheers!
What everyone is talking about is usuallly what I avoid. I have an original Mind Games and certainly don't need any new rendition of it. How, what or why people collect or don't should be nobody's business but their own. I have lots of records nobody but me would want. I like them and that's all that matters. People who put up hateful comments need to get a life!
I couldn't agree more! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
I gotta say I disagree with half of your points but enjoyed the video and subbed. I had an original VU and Nico album that I stole when I was 13 but I don't have that anymore. I have a decent 2nd or 3rd press but 90% of the banana is missing. I AM the king of my collection!
YES you are the king of your collection! Yeah, most of the time the banana is peeled, but still you have 10% left, and that's great! And the music is the same. Thanks a lot for commenting and subscribing!
