Great video, Melinda, you so perfectly explained why vinyl fanatics like me love vinyl!👍👍👍👍👍 The only thing I can disagree with you on is what artists are worthy of attention. Due to personal tastes, there really isn't a right or wrong answer to that one.

It all begins with a love of music, and then it really depends on your personality. I've pursued excellence and quality in everything I've done in my life. It was natural for me to become a vinyl enthusiast for the highest quality sound more than anything else. I like to hear music in all its glory and how the artists intended for it to be heard. I want the music I hear to be fully revealed.

You don't have to own the best pressings and own a ton of records to be happy with music. You can listen to vinyl records at any price point you can afford and still very much enjoy the music. As you said, setting limits for yourself is important. It is better to focus on quality, not quantity in what you love about vinyl records the most.

I declare myself to be an audiophile. It is a truly sweeping kind of person to be. I love just about every genre of music you can think of, classical to heavy metal. Music nourishes and soothes the soul; it has such deep emotional appeal. It is the greatest form of human expression and art. Vinyl is the complete musical experience, everything from the best sound to the album art work and a celebration of the artist's music with things like special packaging, special releases, picture discs, colored vinyl, posters, lyrics, and liner notes. Other than actually making music or attending a well staged concert, there is no better musical experience than listening to quality vinyl records.

I have one question for you. Why did you grimace or look embarrassed about why you own more than one copy of an album? There is no shame in that. For favorite artists and albums, that's just so natural for me. Owning multiple copies of the same album is a voyage of discovery on what pressings sound the best to me and a celebration of the different forms of the album.

Take care and be safe!👍💖🎸😎

Wow i love your videos, you got a lot of great stuff, i got a question for you, :what’s the most you have payed for an original record? What do you now about a band named MU from the early 70’s , i got a rare copy of their debut album but the only thing i have os from discogs sales, take care

Westley Clayton

@Aaron Jayden definitely, been using Flixzone} for since december myself =)

Aaron Jayden

Pro tip: watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

Koky Sand

I so love your replies, the most I know according to Discogs is that a copy sold for 450, that 359 people have it on their wish list, and that the 1971 release there are non for sale, but I don’t know much about the band itself, it was a great buy for .50 cents, 😃 keep up that enthusiasm

Melinda Murphy

I'm not familiar with MU. I wish I knew something to tell you about them. The most I have paid for an original album is $175. I know that is a crazy amount of money but it was for an album by my favorite band Van Halen. Their later albums are incredibly pricey. Best wishes on finding something out about MU. It would be really cool if it is something very rare and valuable. 😄

Hey Melinda. Cool vid! I grew up with cassettes and CDs. I actually find myself buying more CDs now...but I'm trying to save money, too! Some of my CDs sound better than vinyl, I'm finding. It all depends on many factors, the vinyl pressing, etc, of course. I was stunned to find the VC a few years ago as well. I think I was just looking for a review of an album I loved and some VC videos popped up. I don't really consider myself a part of the vinyl community anymore because I show plenty of CDs and my music genre taste is off the beaten path and more obscure for most, but I digress...
Just got Ram in a free collection last week. Thrilled to have it. That Tom Petty set is amazing! Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme is my favorite S&G LP and that's a gorgeous pressing, of course! Baby steps with jazz for me. I'm trying, I'm trying! Enjoy the rest of your week.

audiophile man

@The Omaha Introvert Everyone has their reasons for choosing the format that they choose. I remember the days of budgets. I just bought less and the best stuff. People who like digital music prefer the convenience. If you are a musician, then you understand how software can be used to build a song and edit it. Analogue is about pure sound and all of it. Hearing less than what was originally intended by the artist can really change how you perceive and enjoy the music. A good example would be Pink Floyd The Wall. As I've acquired better sounding vinyl versions, I've heard things I never heard before, and the album comes to life. There's a lot to be said for the best sound, but I have a large collection of CD's from the days when CD's ruled and I sometimes buy CD's to match favorite vinyl albums I have. For instance I recently bought an out of print copy of Larkin Poe's Kin album in both original first press vinyl and in original first issue CD. I've played the vinyl record, but haven't opened the CD, still in its shrink. By the way, I've paid less than a dollar for some really nice vinyl albums. If you like CD's, then good for you. In the end, it's what you like and can afford that matters. We're also living in times when saving money is important. When I can't afford records, I just listen to the many vinyl albums and CD's I have; it's fun to start with one and listen to them all. In my case, that takes a long time. Take care and be safe.👍🎸😎

Melinda Murphy

CD's are definitely the better bargain. There are alot of music that's available on CD but not on vinyl. I'll be listening to CD's alot more now. Take care.

audiophile man I’m not an audiophile. It’s all about the music for me. However the music reaches my ears, whether it be CD, vinyl, radio, Spotify, etc. is all that matters to me. Sure, a MOFI or similar quality pressing is the ultimate, but I’m on a budget...have a good day.

audiophile man

I understand that we're entering difficult economic times. There's budget vinyl out there. I must disagree with you on digital sounding better than vinyl, unless the vinyl wasn't manufactured properly or the source material is digital or just garbage. There is so much loss with digital and the full sound spectrum isn't there. What kind of CD's are you listening to? You'd be better off going with something like High Res. Want to completely blow your mind on how good vinyl can sound? Try listening to a Direct to Disc (D2D) recording. You can find these at Acoustic Sound's website. Some are really pretty affordable, but they are limited to special artists, because the recording process is more difficult. The sound is positively stunning! They even beat first presses from the original source tapes!!👍🎸😎

You are so sweet! Thank you. I will be listening to alot more CD's in the future. Have a great evening.

Your obvious love for collecting & passion for music in general is very inspiring. I don't consider myself an audiophile, but have been a working musician for 35 years & there's just something about listening to vinyl that makes me feel far more present & aware . CD's are perfectly fine & I honestly wouldn't have a career without them-but in a perfect world I'd choose vinyl everytime!

Melinda Murphy

I agree with you completely. I have nothing against CD's, I just prefer vinyl. Thank you so much and take care.

Thanks for this post. I love coloured vinyl as well. Getting ready to purchase the new ABBA coloured vinyl boxed set of their studio recordings. Recently ordered the 40th anniversary coloured vinyl pressing of KISS' "Dynasty" album and a coloured vinyl version of INXS's album "The Swing" Can't wait to get them. Great post as always Melinda!

Ram is my favorite PM album! ... I’m a vinyl collector who loves CD’s for price and convenience, my local record shop has hundreds of dollar CD’s, they sound great in my car!

Melinda Murphy

Ram is great. I get what you are saying about cd's. You can't best the price and you can get so many titles that aren't available on vinyl. CD's do sound great in a car.

jmad627

"Ram" which I’ve had since it came out, is rather underrated.

I feel guilty around Vinyl Collectors because, yes, back in the day I was a Serial Mixed Tape Creator.

Sadly, I exchanged, swapped and disrespected vinyl. It was merely a tool, a pawn, a means to an end. It was not my fault (he states sheepishly). I blame Maxell, Fuji and Denon with their endless and seductive array of blank cassette tapes. I blame inconsistent quality of bootleg records. I blame new wave compilations which contained only 2 songs that I needed. I blame my previous need to condense a band to its best 90 minutes of songs.

And most of all I blame the addiction to a girl's smile when handing to her the perfectly crafted mixed tape. Gotta love the 80's.

Melinda Murphy

Haha! Blame it on the girls smile! 😉

Hi Melinda , You can't go wrong with vintage Blue Note , especially Lee Morgan & Hank Mobley. My favorite Tom Petty LP is " You're Gonna Get It " it's 30 minutes of brilliance ! What's yours ? The Live Box is awesome. Very well curated by Tom himself ! See Ya.

I love that Tom Petty album too. I might give the edge to Torpedoes but it depends on the day you ask me. Lol.

You are absolutely correct Melinda. Never make the passion of collecting vinyl into a stressful pursuit. Some of my rarest albums I came across without actually looking for them. Various record fairs here and there and simply browsing have seen fantastic finds. Rare Japanese coloured vinyl issues and original 60s and 70s records in great condition. I brought an original 1966 issue of Revolver from a record store in Liverpool. Then went on a Beatles tour of the famous landmarks in Liverpool such as their childhood homes and Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane etc. I even met Allan Williams who was their manager before Brian Epstein...He was full of great stories of the early days. I love vintage vinyl stores which are few and far between these days. They are a real Aladdin's Cave. You never quite sure what you may find. I found an original 1974 vinyl issue of Diamond Dogs by Bowie. Fantastic gatefold artwork. Perhaps my favourite Bowie album. Vinyl addicts should be a protected breed and to have channels such as yours is fantastic. A classy channel from a classy lady. Well done.

Melinda Murphy

It sounds like you have had wonderful times at record stores and being able to see those iconic Beatles places must have been wonderful. The Diamond Dogs album was a killer find. Take care.

Hey Melinda, great idea for a video. Really enjoyed this. Also good to see you have another Judas Priest album in the collection. :) Thanks for the shout out. I'm always honored and humbled to think I had even the smallest part in you starting your channel. I love that Tigers eye vinyl Townes comp. Just an absolute beauty! That Tom Petty box set binder is pretty sweet. I think it's healthy to have so many genres that you enjoy and always expanding your listening variety. You do a great job of that. Great advice for young or new collectors. Take care, Billy-

The Record Spinner

Hey Melinda! I can gravitate towards CDs for the sake of having things compact, I can bring them in my car and rip them to my digital music library but its now getting to a point where if I seek out new music or I get a new release, I always end up getting it on vinyl. Its interesting because I have a Ghost record that was marketed as being on "tigers eye" vinyl and it looks completely identical to the one you showed! Ive seen the tricolor Bob Marley comp pop up from time to time and it looks stunning and fitting! When it comes to multiple copies of albums for me, its all about mix variations (stereo, mono, stereo remix), things of that sort. Its always fun doing A-B comparisons. That Petty box does look amazing. Speaking of box sets, just pulled the trigger on the VH Japanese Singles box from Popmarket for a smoooooooth $37! Any artist that have so many releases and variants on the market are fun to collect. The Bowie camp (not sure how much of it is for pure posthumous greed) always put out all kinds of releases (demo 7" box sets, indie colored variants, RSD) that almost make it like a manhunt to get. Awesome video! Cheers and stay safe!

Melinda Murphy

I got the red vinyl version of the Van Halen box set but it was alot more expensive. What a price! Bowie definitely has alot of great releases and box sets. I need more of his music. I love his voice and the older he got the deeper it got. I loved his deeper voice. Take care!

oce77

Great and informative video. I was never a fan of jazz until I started collecting vinyl a few years ago. Now it comprises a majority of the albums I collect and also a greater appreciation of the older music from the 50's and 60's that I never took the time to listen to when I was in my teens. Blue Note, Prestige, CTI, and Riverside are some of my favorite jazz labels from that era. I really enjoy your channel and it has given me plenty of ideas on how to expand my collection especially with classic rock. Thank you for being an awesome part of the vinyl community.

Melinda Murphy

4y↑1

Thank you so much. You are too kind. I have a hard time finding older jazz albums on those amazing labels. I have been relying heavily on reissues for my jazz collection. I have yet to be disappointed. Take care.

Hi Melinda, I collect both CD's from the 90's, 2000's and 2010's and vinyl from the 60's, 70's and 80's so there is no overlap. I just try to get the original format when LP's or CD's were the main format depending on the decade. I use something like 70 genres to sort both my CD and LP' collection, one of those is British Invasion and that is where the Beatles are but some people use Beatles and Beatles related as a genre, so yes that is a genre as well. I think for example Zappa could be a genre because I have so much Zappa it is his own genre. Other one could be Prince and Prince related cause there are so many records in the Prince world that don't have the Prince name on it.

Melinda Murphy

3y↑1

I think that is a smart way of collecting. Having the analog recordings on vinyl and the digital on CD sounds very sensible to me. 😀 You made a great point about how Prince and Zappa had alot of artists under their umbrellas. They all had great exposure because of their connection to those legends. 😀 Have a great weekend.

MamaBear Vinyl

Another great video, Melinda. Really liked your advice for beginners wanting to collect vinyl. It’s easy to get caught up in buying. Starting out with albums you really love ensures you’ll listen to your collection and grow your collection in a way that suits your listening taste. That Tom Petty box set is amazing. Love how it looks like the old 78 album sets. So many wonderful tips, stories and Awesome albums shared. Have a great weekend.

Melinda Murphy

You're right. The Tom Petty album is like the old 78's albums. I should have thought of that for the video. Lol. Thank you Cindy. I hope you have some great plans for the weekend.

Steve W

Hey Melinda! Your complete monologue is darn near word for word on why I also collect vinyl,as opposed to cds and cassettes. Always enjoy seeing your videos,I love your pride and enthusiasm in your collection and your views in the way you present. (also have to comment on the Kansas album lying in wait in the background,..nice! ). Quite a few of your videos have helped my collection grow as well,you've given me some good ideas and interests.

I like Vinyl for the nostalgia (some of it sounds amazing too). It really varies. I still collect CDs and some of them can challenge vinyl for warmth and sound stage. That Tiger's Eye vinyl is gorgeous. Those McCartney Archive editions are nice. That's a beautiful Tom Petty box too. Beatles for the win! Great video, Melinda ❤️

Hello Melinda; Hope you are well. Nice T -shirt. Kansas waiting at the turntable, At the Point of No Return. Vinyl has a breathable quality to its texture. Good to start a VC channel sharing vinyl finds, thoughts & opinions with like minded people ( hopefully ). Nice vinyl color on the LP's shown. Multiple copies can be an expensive endeavor, unless you need to upgrade an existing LP. Box sets always depend on how they are packaged. The Tom Petty was done well. Stereo equipment is purchased on what you can afford & sounds good to you. Multi genre collecting can be expensive. I limit the music genre's to two, rock & blues. Of course this depends on what one can afford. Good video. Take care. Tina & Pat!~

Melinda Murphy

A few people notice what I have been playing on my turntable. I finally found a good copy of Point Of No Return by Kansas. I just found it last weekend on my first adventure out since Covid hit. Maybe someday I can upgrade more of my equipment but we have had other expenses lately. It's great to hear from you! Take care.

Sean Jennings

Good video, as always. I prefer vinyl, over CDs, for the warmth, and album covers,and inserts. I have a massive vinyl collection, i must have 3.750 to 4,000 vinyl records up to now. I've cut back on buying music recently, due to running out of space. After saying that i do have a huge C.D collection, must have 1200+ C.Ds now. My fav box set, is an 8 album collection of British music, from the late 50s up to the early 80s, made by Readers Digest, which was a Mail Order Only company, in the70s, and 80s, in England, called Pop Jubilee, in customised sleeves. Which i bought yrs ago, at a carboot sale, for a few pounds. Just dug it out, playing it now, some great old 60s, early 70s classics, on it, Amen Corner, Thunder Clap Newman, Moody Blues, Julie Driscoll, The Stones, Jethro Tull. Might put the 80s album on later, some classics, the Police, Hazel "O" Conner, Chas & Dave lol, Roxy Music etc.

I upgraded my S&G BOTW Album, recently, i had an old original pressing, all crackles, and scratches. I picked up a 180grm re-issue, on Gold Vinyl, i've never got round to playing it, though i got a download code with it, and downloaded and listened to that, on my P.C. Great Album. All the Best Sean.

Melinda Murphy

I just ordered the Sundazed version of Bridge Over Troubled Water. The gold vinyl version looks beautiful. I had no idea which copy would be better. Let me know how it sounds if you do decide to play it. Thank you!

OMG Melinda, we have a lot in common. Growing up my mom had a record player given to her, with records of Mexican music. I enjoyed listening to those records, but being a teen I wanted to listen to English music. She was a single mom, she didn’t have money to indulge my music taste, so she never bought me a record. By the time I got my first job CD’s were replacing records, so I bought CDs. Last year I noticed Target started to carry records, I thought no way are records coming back. So during the holidays while shopping with my kids, I told them the story of my love of records, and how I never got the chance to buy any as a teen. The nostalgia got to me, next thing I knew I was buying a record player on Amazon, and hunting down records on eBay. 😂 It felt wonderful to play my very first record, but I had no one to share the joy with. My family and friends didn’t get it, they didn’t understand why downloading the songs wasn’t enough. I turned to YouTube to see if anyone else had this awesome hobby. Sure enough I found you and others, sharing wonderful collections, giving tips, and recommendations. I enjoy watching your videos because of the stories you share. So thank you for your work, and please keep making videos.

True Audiofiles

Another great video Melinda!
When it comes to records I actually stopped buying records when CDs came out. I definitely appreciated the quiet backgrounds of CDs and the more “perfect” aspect of the manufacturing. But I went back to vinyl maybe 10 years ago because of the nostalgia aspect and the larger artwork and in some cases the sound quality.

I really can relate to your reasoning for starting your channel as I have no one that lives near me that is in to records and music as much as I am that I hang out with. I have several FaceBook friends I have spent time with when on business trips but no one nearby. The vinyl community is a great little escape for a few minutes a day. You are one of my favorites of that community so keep up the great work!

I really enjoy your videos. I had to sell all my vinyl (~300 or so) a few years ago due to downsizing etc. I do still collect some CD’s. I sold a lot but still have around 750. I like collecting hard to find and signed CDs and love to collect live albums. I like Blue Öyster Cult, Deep Purple, KISS, Rush, Robin Trower, SRV, ZZ Top among so many others. Love jazz also. Please look for Al Dimeola - Elegant Gypsy. Definitely one of my favs. Pat Metheny - Trio is excellent. And Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue is good also. That is a cool KISS shirt - and looks great on you! Take care and enjoy.👍🏻🎸

Love that album by Priest! Killer shirt! I love cds and vinyl for both of their strengths. I prefer vinyl but I've trained my ear to love the sound of cds.

Just got an Ortofon Blue.. :) Putting it on today..Great video Melinda. Great point on not getting into a financial bind, either. I was lucky in buying a lot of grail pieces back in the 90s when I was in high school and college. I had a buddy who collected baseball cards and what I got from him was the collectability aspect, condition, pride of ownership..So I held onto all my albums. I spent years not getting any vinyl or memorabilia until I bought my first house /condo. After I got that taken care of and started my own retirement account along with a safety fund, I felt free (and felt I earned it!) to start collecting regularly about 10 years ago. (I don't have kids and I'm single) so it was a little easier for me than most that have higher priorities. I also like the fact you mentioned patience. It really does take time, and that's the joy and fun. The research, the hunt, the fun of meeting fellow collectors, building relationships with store owners. It really is a rewarding hobby. You have a great collection! I thought of you when Brian Howe passed a couple weeks ago. I was in jr high when "Holy Water" came out and have great memories of rock radio when that was out. I went to Sturgis in 2011 and after days of driving from Ca, I parked my truck at the camp site, walked to Main Street and walked into the first bar I saw. Just when I walked in, "Holy Water" by Bad Company started up. Really set the tone for a wild, fun week!

Ira Krivit

Think of it this way: in order to get vinyl to sound like Red-Book CD Audio, you need at a minimum, an extra component: a pre-amp along with extra interconnect cables, etc. And, depending on the price point and capabilities of the pre-amp, you still may not approach even close to the audiophile quietness of a CD with its digital format. There are ways to make vinyl sound decent (assuming you're willing to deal with the low-level noise/sound of the needle scraping the acetate, and the pain of hearing only three songs before you have to get your ass up off the couch) but vinyl is riddled with inconveniences. But, hey, that's just me ;-)... the reality is that there are Sooo many ways for recordings to sound good or bad, its more important that you spend time listening and not arguing about formats. Let's look forward to the day when we can stand in a room with 18,000 like-minded fans, or 220 like-minded fans and see our beloved artists perform live. To the music gods, wherever they may be: play on...

Melinda Murphy

I agree that music can sound great on any format and we all have our preferences. I have nothing but respect for people who are really into CD's. In the end, it's all about the music. I am hoping for some concerts soon too. I look forward to that day.

Hey Melinda!
Great video again. I grew up on vinyl also. Playing my first records on my parent's old console. Then my dad bought me an all in one tuner/turntable system. It wasn't anything special aa it was made of plastic. But I loved it. And as I grew up and got married and raised my kids I was fortunate enough to safely keep my lps and 45s.
I'll have to keep a look out for that Bob Marley album!!! Awesome
I have my first order coming from Vinyl Storage Solutions. It's an assortment of 4ml and 2 ml outer sleeves and inner sleeves too.
Keep up the good work!

Jim B

@Melinda Murphy thank you!

Melinda Murphy

I think you will be really happy with the record sleeves. I love them. The Marley album is so cool to look at and I put it on when I need a pick me up. Vinyl has been a part of your life the way it has a part of mine. That's so cool. Take care!

Paul Hunter

It's easier to get great sound from a CD, but anyone with a reasonably good vinyl rig knows that vinyl can often sound better. My earliest CDs were Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms and Donald Fagan-The Nightfly. Both great albums but thin sterile sound. People like me in their 50s tend to buy and trade used vinyl. It's the young who are leading the current success of new vinyl sales. The prices though are far too high. The record companies will end up killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Kids will give up and go back to their downloads.

Paul Hunter

@Melinda Murphy
Thanks for your reply. I'll try to sus out an early vinyl copy of The Nightfly. My 1984 German CD is really poor.

Melinda Murphy

I'm with you and tend to buy more used vinyl. Reissues are nice but the price of new vinyl is pretty crazy. I hope the vinyl craze lasts a bit longer though. There are so many albums that I want reissued. Donald Fagan The Nightfly was meant for vinyl. Take care!

Livinafter Midnight

I had the same feeling about the first couple discs I bought on CD. Bostons Debut and Rush Moving Pictures. Neither sounded anywhere near as good as the vinyl copy.

Richie Rollo

I so agree with you about the difference between CD and vinyl. I remember going to my friends house who had just got the latest CD player and was raving about it. I was a vinyl addict and I was not impressed at all. It was not warm it seemed to be all high end and I said...never...well I am more a music collector and as time went on I could more easily get stuff on CD. A long story goes on but watching you reminds me of my days on that vinyl road.
Keep up the great work.

Melinda Murphy

We definitely agree on this. Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

@Melinda Murphy Sure, you're welcome, Melinda. 👍 It's always nice sharing vinyl experiences with true vinyl fans like you. 😊 By the way, there is another reason to have multiple copies of a vinyl album. By playing multiple copies, you reduce the potential for wear. You may wish to play that first pressing on rare, special occasions, so you have the reissues and foreign pressings to play and enjoy.👍💖🎸😎

I loved what you had to say about vinyl. I'm listening to an amazing album after a really hard day and it truly helps me relax and let go of my troubles. I agree that music from any format and price point can be enjoyed.
I'm not really embarrassed by having multiple copies of the same album but I know how it looks to some people. Lol. It is fun and nice but not necessary. 😃 Oh well. Thank you for your comments. I always appreciate what you have to say.

I spend enough of my own money. I really shouldn't start spending other people's too. Lol. Honestly, I just think it is so unique and beautiful. You will love it. Thank you!

Mark Frantz

Great video! I have been using a nail brush (that is what my wife calls it) with the spin cleaner fluid and scrubbing with the grooves of the record. I then spray some distilled water on the record to wash away the trash that i hopefully pick up. I then spin wash it and dry. I have been able to take very bad popping records to having no pops. It seems to work

Melinda Murphy

If it is giving you great results than that sounds great. I'm glad to hear it. 😃

Hi Melinda,

Great video. Nice records. Vinyl rules. Nobody will really understand our obsession unless they were there back then when it was the major format for listening to music. I did purchase cassettes if I could not find the Lp right away, but also to listen in the car. I actually still have them.

Melinda Murphy

It's smart to keep what you have. Some cassettes and 8 tracks are very valuable. Have a great weekend!

Hi Melinda, I enjoy watching your videos about your impressive vinyl collection. Something stuck with me watching this particular video where you talked about one of your favourite albums. The woman designed on the cover of Layla And Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos looks very much like you. Look at the hair curve, eyebrow line, eye shape and lips. It's as if you're showing a painting of yourself. No wonder you like the music on it. It probably mirrors your personality as well. Kind regards.

Melinda Murphy

I never thought about that. I love the lady on the cover so I am going to take it as a compliment. Thank you so much.

And I like your tastes in music Man...I remember finding Mrhoffame in 2009, learned a lot from him, hopefully shared some knowledge as well😂 yes, I remember the days when NO ONE cared for records.dark times, but the prices were great! Awesome 13th Floor Elevators, I need that.Melinda, do you have the Leathur pressing of Too Fast for Love? It's eluded me for years.great Petty box!! Wow man, sealed CD's, awesome friend.that A.B.B. looks so cool.another one that's eluded me is the 12 inch Looney Tunes sampler from Van Halen! Enjoyed the video very much, thanks and take care!

Melinda Murphy

I don't have the VH Looney Tunes bootleg . It would be fun to listen to. I have an early Electra pressing of Too Fast but not the Leathur label. That one would be a cool one to find.

Thank you. I use Vinyl Storage Solutions for my records. They make them look beautiful! 😀 I'm still thrilled to have the red and blue albums in my collection.

RO GRA

Hi Melinda, Yet another great post! I luv vinyl sound too. When you mentioned that cd's and sound deficiency. ..how do you feel about tube amps, or dac sound processing? I ve only recently started learning if those devices can 'warm' up the sound or not? Have a wonderful week and hope to enjoy some of your cool channel ♡♡♡♡! Kind regards☆☆☆☆☆+

Melinda Murphy

I just started to listen to CD's again. I'm not really sure how to get a warmer sound. I just going to enjoy them and their clean sound. 😃

Jacob Frey

Wow, that Tom Petty Live Anthology is beautiful. What a treasure! I happen to own it on the 4 CD set because it was only $16.11 on Amazon (about 2 years ago.). Certainly not quite the same treasure on CD, but I love the music and I have a feeling the vinyl set would cost me 2 arms and a leg!

Melinda Murphy

The CD would be great to have. The music is more important than the format. Thank you for the compliment. I loved the way they packaged it. Take care.

Peter Xuereb

Hey Melinda. Great video. I love that Tom Petty boxed set. I would also love a Beatles butcher cover in any state though 3rd preferably. That's probably my biggest 'grail item'.
I am a collector with multiple copies of Beatles LP's (& 45's), generally stereo & mono originals, reissues, remasters & remixes, boxed sets, different nationalities etc as well as on CD's. It can get out of hand (I have 20+ Sgt. Peppers lol 🙄🙄). Sometimes something will catch my eye.
I have a large-ish LP, 45's & CD collection. When CD's arrived it started as a novelty for me. My original plan was to just get favourite albums & 'retire' - keep, not sell or discard - the LP, new releases and best of/greatest hits career overview compliations. This is where I also fell in love with CD boxed sets. However I bought a lot of 'favourite' albums and even whole back catalogues of artists on CD of artists I didn't own on LP, such as Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters & The Band (who I subsequently also bought their Capitol LP back catalogue... go figure lol) etc. Some I stopped on LP and continued (and or duplicated) on CD such a Deep Purple, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Rush, The Monkees and the Rolling Stones. The CD boxes were great value for record label history overviews such as for Motown, Chess, Atlantic, Stax/Volt, Elektra & Cameo Parkway etc, especially from Rhino Records (and Bear Family in Germany). I didn't play my vinyl much at all for a long time. However in the past few years, my love for LP's has had a renaissance of sorts and now my CD collection isn't feeling as much love. I have the 2 separate mono & stereo TT's for example within a distinct audio only setup, separated from my 5.1 home theatre arrangement. I can thank an audiophile friend of mine for this idea.
I'm sure we all start our record (or CD) collections humbly, with no real intentions of amassing great numbers. It really just happens. Before you know it you have big shelves of them and your life can revolve around it. But music is a personal thing and its not about the number of records in your collection. That's what makes our respective collections unique.
(I'm sorry this comment got very long, but there's no short answers with me. I'm quite sure we could talk each other's ears off about collecting lol 😊). Cheers Melinda. Keep up the great work 😘

Anthony Candaele

I got into vinyl by watching vinyl unboxing video's on Youtube. I like these a lot, so I decided to brush up the vinyl records from my youth. I also started watching videos on high end gear and following channels by Michael Fremer and Michael Ludwig. Before I knew it, I spend al my money buying records on audiophile labels like Analogue Productions and Mobile Fidelity.

Melinda Murphy

3y↑1

I totally get it and I'm right there with you. 😍Analog Productions & Mobile Fidelity is awesome. ❤️

Daniel Geiger

You talk a lot about pops and crackles. Do you have a wet vinyl cleaning option? I have a ProJect VC, but might rather go with the VPI version now (as I also have a VPI TT). Wet cleaning can make a ton of difference in the noise. I have not gone ultrasonic myself as wet vacuum seems to work just fine for me.

Melinda Murphy

I use the Vinyl Vac. It is a wet cleaning method that suctions the dirt right out of the grooves. It has made a huge difference in the sound quality of my records. Thank you and take care!

Nick Bitten

Evening Melinda from a very hot/ sunny England. Great video as usual- and some killer albums there. Any jazz albums on Bluenote, Impulse or Verve are probably worth a listen. Not bought any albums since ' lockdown' but enjoying listening to what i have. Keep up the good work now.

Super video Melinda! I have the Beatles colored vinyl you showed, but sealed, along with the White on White. Nice to see them. Was betting Odessey and Oracle for best cover. Wrong! Nice friend giving you those cd's. Thanks for your fabulous videos. Question 11. How many final tours has Kiss had?😉

Kiss has been on a final tour since around 2000. Lol. Who knows when they will be over. I do love the cover of Odessey and Oracle too.

Thomas Lytle

Hi Melinda, I have the Ortifon 2m Red and tbh, I just don’t see why an upgrade to the doubly expensive 2m Blue is even necessary. I have pretty serious doubts that the difference would be worthy of such a high cost. Wondering what makes the 2m blue worth the cost going from the 2m Red, because I’m definitely highly impressed and happy with what I have already. Additionally, I’ve read that the Blue is actually TOO accurate, meaning it really accentuates the flaws and/or noise on less than perfect records. I definitely don’t want that. I find the Red very surprisingly forgiving in this department. Thoughts?

Melinda Murphy

4y↑1

I really like the upgrade. That certainly doesn't mean that I didn't like the Ortofon Red. It is great too. There is enough of a difference to make it worth it for me personally. Thank you and take care.

Great video Melinda nice when you share your thoughts on why you like the vinyl format. Cool answers too. Oh and I wish I could find that Bob Marley record love it. Ill plug vinyl storage solutions as well cost a bit xtra to ship here to Australia but they really are amazingly good and well worth it to protect our cherished records.

I am with you on Vinyl Storage Solutions. They are worth the extra money. They are wonderful.

Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East...one of the BEST live albums ever.

Melinda Murphy

Agreed!

Furax02

Think of it this way - in order to get a CD to sound like vinyl, you need - at a minimum, an extra component - a Digital to Analog converter (DAC) along with extra interconnect cables, etc. And, depending on the price point and capabilities of the DAC, you still may not approach even an entry level audiophile turntable and a decent phono cartridge. There are ways to make digital sound decent without a DAC, but it still needs either an extra component or an amplifier with a tube buffer, which is, essentially, another component in the audio stream.

Furax02

@Melinda Murphy My pleasure. I know you're not necessarily ready to upgrade anything right now, but if you're looking to upgrade your turntable, cartridge and/or want to go the full digital route, I'd be honored to help. Keep it cost effective and focus on value for the bucks. Keep on doing what you're doing!

Melinda Murphy

Wow. You know way more about it than I do. I just know that I love the analog sound on vinyl more than I like digital. There are some great sounding digital releases though. Take care and thank you so much for the explanation. Very interesting!!!

Richard White

Hi Melinda, I think I saw this video before, but I enjoy it. I agree with you. I think CD's are great and they are great to play in the car, but I love vinyl, since I was a kid, Vinyl is so much more of a music experience then a CD will ever be. A beautiful front and back cover to look at and liner notes on the insert or the inner sleeve on the album. Do you ever go to Flea Market's to buy records or not? I do go a few times in the summer, but I don't have as much luck at the flea market anymore which is I think because there are so many people looking for records and they buy the good stuff before I get there which is okay. Maybe it means I have to many records. haha. Take care,

Melinda Murphy

3y↑1

Hi! I share the love of vinyl with you. I have found alot of great records from flea markets. As I get further into collecting, I find less of what I'm looking for at flea markets. It's still fun to dig though. Thank you and take care.

For me vinyl is more tactile and you interact with the album art and liner notes. Something missing with cd and streaming. Having said that I really enjoy the experience of bluetooth technology and streaming music.

kvfrank

Hey Melinda, great video as usual. You may not have these two Beatles albums in your collection but I would highly recommend "Rubber Sour" and "Revolver" to augment what you have. You can clearly hear the transition from "Soul" to "Revolver" culminating with "Sgt. Peppers". When Peppers was released my friends and I sat and listened and asked each other WTH is this? Once you understand the history behind a few songs, and how they and George Martin created that masterpiece, you will hear the progression. "Layla and other assorted love songs" is an absolute CLASSIC! I have it also in the MOFI mastering. Listen to "Layla" (which when Patti first heard it on a cassette Eric had played for her, she told Eric "you cannot release that"!! "Everyone will know it's me". After you listen to the original with Duane Allman backing Eric, you can hear the cry of pain in his voice. Then listen to the "Unplugged" version of Layla, and it's as if he is saying--I've been there, done that and am not ashamed. Keep on putting your videos out==they are very good. Oh and BTW--love the dog walking up behind you and laying down.

Melinda Murphy

You are so right. I do have Rubber Soul and Revolver. They are must haves for my collection. Revolver is what led me to become a huge Beatles fan.

Sharpdressedvan

CD's were convenient and had a decent sound; but the trade off was the artwork that came with vinyl. I had more fun reading liner notes and learning about the recording, looking at the photographs on vinyl copies etc. than from trying to read the tiny print on a plastic CD case. So I've collected tons of vinyl in the past few months; have you found a deterioration in colored vinyl versus regular vinyl (excluding Paul McCartney)?

Melinda Murphy

I don't really notice a huge difference with colored vinyl that is made today. If it sounds good on black vinyl it will usually song good on the colored vinyl as well. That's just what I have learned from my collecting. Thank you!

Del Rivers

PalosRob: TMRC

Hey, how are you doing? I subscribe to several members of the vinyl communityand they are increasingly starting to mention you as an influencer in the vinyl community. So that's very good for you and it means your influence is growing.I know you have mentioned that I believe, you were born in Indiana.I have many cousins who are from Indianapolis and they have what I would consider from Chicago a southern accent.yours is more pronounced so do you think where you live now has increased your southern accent? I've always been interested in how people speak compared to where they grew up in so that's why I'm asking.

PalosRob: TMRC

Mrhalloffame thinks highly of you. And several others. Good for you.

Melinda Murphy

I have been in Kentucky for a very long time now so it may have had an affect on my accent. I was from southern Indiana though. That's very nice that other VC members discuss my channel sometimes. That's very humbling. There are some amazing people in the VC. Thank you and take care.

Wolfgang Pointner

Like your videos, I think you are the right person to do videos. Always open, always friendly. I was the same with CD´s, it just took me longer to come back to vinyl, I had no time, I had to make music all my live so there was not much time left to listen to music. But now I am back and my collection is growing like cancer....crazy, vinyl crazy :-) happy 2021.

Loughton Folk Club

Hi Melinda
Its so great to see someone who takes so much care and love for their vinyl collection. You are right, its fun to collect vinyl and should never be a competition. I started like yourself at an early age because my Dad was a big collector of Jazz, Blues, folk and Country, he died last year aged 95 and I am proud owner of his collection. That Tom Petty box set is a thing of beauty such a great thing to own. I think Townes Van Zandt would have loved that coloured vinyl, he was a man of wry humour. One question. In the UK vinyl collecting is a very male thing, why do think that females are not big vinyl collectors. Is it the same in the USA?.
Thank you for another excellent video full of information and advice. Gary

Melinda Murphy

You ask a great question and as an enthusiastic female vinyl collector, I can't image why there aren't more women into it. I am starting to see more women flipping through records so that is a good thing.

Arturo Almazan

Nothing like vinyl. The sound, cover art, inserts, etc. And no doubt nostalgia plays a big part. I tend to prefer originals over new or reissues.

I bought the Beatles Revolver CD first along with Crowded House's debut album on CD July 1987 when I got my first CD player, it was a step up because my turntable at the time was a 50.00 Craig that I got when I was a teen lol. great memories there,

Melinda Murphy

Revolver was a great choice and I always loved the song Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House. I still do.

6758pasi

I have found it odd that i have very little interest for cassette's even though it was my first way of enjoying music. We did have reel to reel player before that, it wasn't really my thing. Your friend gave you greatcd's, Jimi Hendrix's BBC Sessions is my fave Hendrix record. Again oddly enough, i don't use the Word collect when talking about my records. Even though i do talk about my record collection. I use the word collect when talking about singles. I don't really know what the difference even is. Nice Kiss shirt.
Pasi

Melinda Murphy

Hi Pasi. I sometimes feel weird calling my records a collection too. I love listening to them and it feels weird to say I collect something that I use. Lol. Cassettes were good back in the day but I have no interest in revisiting them. Vinyl is so much better in so many ways. CD's are a different story. I am thrilled to have a new little collection of them. I am looking forward to checking out the Jimi Hendrix one. Take care.

Vinyl is unique and so is the sound it’s amazing considering it is basically a plastic disc. Once you fall for vinyl as most of us older people will have then it is a life long love. Technology changes but vinyl endures. I have cds and downloads on my I tunes I’m close to 50,000 tracks but that’s just for convenience as vinyl has to be changed but downloads just goes on and on. I know exactly why you buy multiple copies of same vinyl I have 24 copies of sex pistols nevermind the .... difference between them is labels and covers or misprints and wrong listings. Brilliant video thank you 😊

Melinda Murphy

4y↑1

Wow! You have 24 copies of the same album. No judgement here. There are many unique variations of that album. Vinyl sounds amazing and has been a part of my life since I was very young. I hope it's always a part of my life. Take care.

PeteLaRussa28

Hi Melinda, fellow life long KISS fan here who spun “Unmasked” today to honor today being the 40th Anniversary of its release. Also, crazy timing. I just added that 30th Anniversary Bob Marley Tri-Color “Legend” set last week. It quickly became one of my favorites of all of my colored vinyl. Not only does it look great but it sounds incredible even with my weathered Ortofon Red (which I’m upgrading to Blue next week on my Audio Technica AT-LP 120). And on the subject of a YT channel, I’ve been thinking of using my current profile here to start one to go along with my podcast (I Am Vinyl) because of channels like yours and others I’ve viewed that happened to begin coming up on my recommended earlier this year just from searching for “Vinyl posts”. By the way, pop market is currently selling the Van Halen Japanese Singles boxset for only $37 ($100 Off). I’ve got one on the way to me. From past videos I thought you may want to know that. Keep em’ spinnin! 🤘

PeteLaRussa28

Melinda Murphy Well, “Music From The Elder” is in my Top 5 favorite Kiss albums and they were certainly not known for concept albums such as that one prior to its release. It’s all a part of what makes their discography remain interesting to me not only as a fan of the band for 40 years but just as a music fan in general. 😁

Melinda Murphy

I actually really like Unmasked for a pop album. It isn't what Kinda as is famous for but it really is pretty good. 😃

wow I love those gatefold album cover bags!
I'm still not sure I agree with keeping records outside of the cardboard cover...

@Melinda Murphy I do love the look of those ultra-clear inner bags, if I can find some of them then maybe with my coloured vinyl I will place them outside the cover, for display :-)

Melinda Murphy

3y↑1

It's a personal preference. The thought is that keeping the record on the outside will keep album covers from getting ring wear. My records are kept safe in anti static inner sleeves as well as 3 mil thick outer sleeves. They are well protected. Thank you and take care.

Hi Melinda! I recently got a killer deal on some records from a guy who buys big lots of records and sells them. I ended up getting around 85 records including a whole Elvis collection for $35! The best part is that he has more stuff that wasn't in the garage he was selling it out of so I'll be going back. Hope you've been getting some great deals as well!

SkyTheGuy04

@Melinda Murphy thanks for the reply! I actually found a copy of phenomenon by UFO which is a great album which I had been looking for and I also found some iron butterfly which was awesome! I might start doing some videos on vinyl as you've started to inspire me to start doing it. Hoping you can get some grails!

I sure wish that would happen to me. That must be so much fun! I'm very happy for you. Enjoy your new finds. You got an amazing deal on some great vinyl.

Part of me thinks it makes the most sense to just keep the version of the album you think sounds best but I understand the multiple copy thing as well if one edition or pressing has great bonus material, exclusive packaging or a unique or interesting mix variation that brings out different elements in the music.

It's a struggle. Lol. I would have a hard time parting with any of them. 😮

Agree, vinyl has a apecial feeling to it. For records that i really like i also buy a CD version so i would not worry about wearing out vinyl grooves from playing them often. I recently decided to downsize my collection to 200 Vinyl & 200 Cds, only keep what i listen to most.

That is a great way to do it. Keep only what you will listen to. I like listening to everything I have but I have so any that there is no time to listen to them all. Lol.

I have some of the other McCartney colored releases that came out the same time the Ram yellow did. You should check out McCartney, Band on the Run,Venus and Mars among others. I've never heard a difference berween colored and black vinyl. From what I understand, they're actually made the same way. Picture Discs are another story because they're made differently and most times sound awful. Keep up the good work on your channel.

Melinda Murphy

I don't have Venus And Mars sadly. That one is the coolest of them all imo. I do have McCartney and Band On the Run on white vinyl. 😃 The colored vinyl sounds great on those releases.

That Townes record is very cool. A lot of people have no idea who he is. I only discovered him a little over a year ago. Beautiful vinyl, as well as a sharp album cover.
