I'm excited to share my Prince and associate artists CD collection. I love compact discs and the music of Prince, so this is a natural video for me to share. It's the follow-up to my Prince 12" vinyl record collection video. My CD collection is not complete by any means, it keeps growing, but it's very special to me and has taken many years to collect. Please Let me know what you think of my co...

Normally I would post a travel video, but since we're stuck at home this week, I thought it would be a good time to share my Prince 12" record collection. It's not complete by any means and I may have gotten some details incorrect, but it's very special to me and has taken some time to collect. Please Let me know what you think and if you'd like me to share anything else from my Prince collecti...

Does this bleached oil darken with time?
What a fun , cute moment you had with Prince !!
Wow, great video! I’ve bought that book too. Can you make a video while you show the freezer method process?
high quality content
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Loved watching your collection. I did not see the promo singles for Partyman and Scandalous with the bats on the cd
That was fun. I watched it all! I enjoy seeing other's Prince collections!
Thanks Dan! Coming from you, that’s a big compliment
That’s one heck of a lasagna!
Hahaha!
Louis R Velazquez is the man! He should be credited for reviving this method thanks for acknowledging it!
You can take your initial oil, let air run through it and while it polymerizes it will get crystal clear as well. The initial color is fleeting and is NOT what causes the yellowing. That comes from the fatty acids that polymerize in the oil. Linseed oil has a specific setup, that causes quite a strong yellowing. Mixing it 50/50 with Walnut oil creates a much better mix of these acids, causing a LOT less yellowing. All your processing will not keep your linseed oil from yellowing. Paint a piece of toilet paper with it. Let it dry where you like, even in the sun. Then put it in a drawer for 2-3 Weeks. Observer the paper gets an ugly, strong yellow tint. There is no way to get rid of the yellowing so far. If someone finds it: Please tell us.
Some people in the past used urina to clean raw linseed oil.
PORTERVILLELOUIS SAID: For the sake of readers who want the truth. Here I give the English translation of Pacheco’s METHOD and RECIPE on how he removed the mucilage from his raw unrefined linseed oil: PACHECO: ARTE DE LA PINTURA;Su antigüedad y grandezas’ Lib. 2, cup. 9. segundo libro : ME: The art of Painting ; its antiquity and grandeur ‘ Book 2, Chapter 9 .

I warn all users to wear goggles when looking into the flask . The high potent ethanol mixes with the lavender flowers and creates a powerful vapor that is injurious to the human eyes.

Where did you get the rock and roll hall Of fame from
Where do I preorder from? I don’t see a link.
Fascinating, thanks!
To be honest, I'm surprised that you managed to clean it this way, the alcohol must have evaporated on the first day so it didn't matter anymore. Well, I clean the oil in a bottle. I dilute the alcohol in distilled water to about 70% and shake it, then everything bad falls to the bottom. Sometimes I give some Plantago afra husks, but only a teaspoon, because it swells a lot. But the initial procedure is cleaning in salt water with sand. I will leave the thickening for next season. I was also looking for lead vessels, but it was hard to find anything. BTW, store-bought oil is probably adulterated in some way, with all cleaning process leaving 10%. With local factory oil, about 50% remains.
PAWEYYY3338 SAID: To be honest, l'm surprised that you managed to clean it this way, the alcohol must have evaporated on the first day so it didn't matter anymore. PORTERVILLELOUIS,SAID: You are flat wrong with guessing, and misleading others. My 30 year old CSO recipe calls for 6 fluid ounces of common spirit liquor of 80 proof ethanol which is equal to 40% ethanol . Six times this equals 2.40 ounces ethanol. Pacheco used 3 fluid ounces of 174 proof= 87% ethanol ( times 3 equals 2.61 ounces ethanol. Pacheco’s spirit liquor which he called “ agua ardiente de cabeza” ( meaning “ the head” ,was the first part of the distillation and had 87 % ethanol). The second part had much less ethanol and is called “ del medio” ( the middle), and the final portion is called “ la cola” ( the tail) which had much less ethanol “ . NEITHER the ethanol portion of the spirit liquor -nor- the water portion evaporate as you erroneously claim. Please read my books and do my tests. The proof is in the pudding PAWEYYY3338 SAID: Well, I clean the oil in a bottle. I dilute the alcohol in distilled water to about 70% and shake it, then everything bad falls to the bottom.

PORTERVILLELOUIS SAID: You don’t need lead containers for the thickening . Read my latest book” Rembrandts superior oil and how to make it” it will teach you my 4 safe CSO quick methods including one that will cleanse and thicken your oil in 4 days. Peace.
@@portervillelouis "Pacheco’s spirit liquor which he called “ agua ardiente de cabeza” had 87 % ethanol" - really? why not 88,8% ? Alcohol will always evaporate BTW Pacheco distilled the oil in a closed bottle.

All these peeps using name-brand gin, while I'm here crying while I use the cheapest vodka I can find...
Some people in the past used urina to clean raw linseed oil.
@@GEOGigalot That (or ammonia) might be worth a try, I've currently got about 2L finished so I won't be trying that for a while though.
Excellent Collection!
Hello, I live in Germany and don't have a garden as nice as yours, can I buy the oil from Kremer or from them?
Kremer sells genuine Sun thickened oil....but it's expensive.
this is similar to the Chelsea Classical Studios Lavender scented Linseed oil
maybe you should become a oil medium manufacturer
Yes!
HELLO AGAIN: Rembrandt’s sun thickened oil was very viscous! He added two STABILIZING ingredients to his oil paint in order to control the excessive flow of his thickened viscous oil. (A) One was Calcium Carbonate powder that is 99% transparent when mixed with oil -and- (B) the second is Egg white Glair . Both create what Dr. Van De Wettering called THIXOTROPY. This means that the oil paint is fluid as long as the artist moves the brush, but when the brush stops moving , the oil paint also STOPS moving. Additionally, the oil paint retains its every brush marks and shape, without slumping, leveling or flowing. NOTE: I have tested the three conditions of the egg; the Clear Glair, the Yolk, and the whole egg scrambled. Of the three , GLAIR is the best because it is sticky ALBUMEN and has NO OIL. The yolk is pure egg oil and it is a very weak oil . The whole egg has the worst and best of both. Best wishes, Louis R. Velasquez; Calcite Sun Oil . please see my books on Amazon and videos on TH-cam .
The problem with this process for cleaning Flax oil and the further process of "sun thickening" is many people don't live in warm climes. I live in England...I'd say that I'd have to wait for June-Aug to find weather that would be sunny and dry enough , and even then there's no guarantee that it won't rain. I've read the air pump method...I might try that.
Of course You live in Albion....since You are a plantagenant.....😊
@@romulusbuta9318 What????????
Hello- my recent book’ Rembrandts superior oil and how to make it’, gives my 3 standard CSO methods. Each easy to do (1) the CSO Alcohol psyllium husk method (2) the CSO Air pump method (3) the water freeze method AND for you in wet cold England is the newest using modern electrical equipment that can cleanse and thicken the oil within 4-9 days Best wishes
@@portervillelouis I have bought a copy of "Rembrandts superior oil.."...Will get an air pump and give it a go!
Hi, thank you for your video. Well done and clearly expressed. Like you, I also have dedicated my efforts to educate artists around the world, of the wonderful qualities of Rembrandt’s superior oil as he and the Old masters used. Thank you for your efforts. As you know, I created CSO ( my recreation of Rembrandt’s paint binder) from 1 part of superior oil mixed with 3 parts of Calcium Carbonate chalk . The CSO is mixed 50/50 with tube oil paints and results in the Old masters oil paint. .... please know that Rembrandt and the others of his era used an emulsion made of 3 parts of the superior oil mixed with two parts of GLAIR ( glair is egg white that is frothed and allowed to settle. -- this Emulsion will give artists complete mastery of the flow of the oil. Please read my books and watch my free TH-cam videos. I would be honored if you make videos on making and using Rembrandt’s Emulsions. Also. Look up Oscar Econome’s TH-cam video “ refining home made artists linseed oil” . It is excellent, as yours is also. The more artists that share this wonderful ancient knowledge that is completely safe and non hazardous, the better for us all. . UPDATE. ON October 2 , 2023 I discovered CGM. PLEASE see the six brief TH-cam videos I posted. This is a most powerful evolution of my CSO. SEARCH. CSO VELASQUEZ CGM oil paint medium. Best of luck and thank you from all my CSO / CGM artists across the planet . Louis R Velasquez
Hi Louis, thanks for watching and commenting. It means a lot to me that you approve of this video. I’m looking forward to trying the new CGM and hope to post a new video soon on the process of making Glair. Thank-you for continuing to share your discoveries. All the best, Jordin
Would surgical grade rubbing alcohol work?
I haven’t tried using isopropyl alcohol. It contains denaturants, which smell bad, and may interfere with the mucilage separation process - not sure. Pacheco mixed his linseed oil with a powerful liquor, containing 87% ethanol and 13% water, then mixed it with the buds of lavender flowers. If you try it, let me know how it works out.
@jordinmimran i actually found someone's research and they said isopropyl was stronger so the 70 proof was better used. The research was done by Tad Spurgeon in his book Living Craft. Page is 253.
Thanks for your comment. I’m familiar with the Living Craft book and just looked at page 253. He’s using it in a traditional washing method to remove the mucilage. If you try using a petroleum based isopropyl alcohol in combination with psyllium husk, please let me know how it goes for you… for sure methanol or any alcohol with sugars won’t work well.
@jordinmimran I don't know my chemistry, barely passed over 20 years ago. Isopropyl has 3 carbon atoms, ethyl has 2. What do they bind to? Would I need to halve the amount of alchohol?
@@hookedbycrafting5348 sounds like you’re better at chemistry than me haha! My guess would be to follow the recipe as is (same proportions) but please keep me posted if you try it out :-)
Dude! Everyone I know says I’m the biggest Prince fan they know. You may change their minds! Ha! Love watching this and your vinyl collection videos. Always great to see someone who loves his work as much as I. Thanks for the videos! Shannon - Baltimore, MD
Thanks so much for watching and commenting… keep up the good work Shannon!
Love this. Love the clip at the beginning. You have a great collection. Thank you for sharing
Hey Brandy, Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have the 3” CD single Partyman which includes the long version of Feel U Up.
I got all my Prince 12” records from the ‘80s. Just found the Mazarati LP on vinyl! I also have original CDs of Vanity 6, The Family, Jill Jones and Madhouse. 👍😎💙
Cool, thanks for commenting. Have you seen my Prince CD video? Check it out. I have a red vinyl 12” of Modernaire, which I believe is pretty rare. Should I do a video on my associate artist record collection?
Yeah, some projects produced excellent results! The Family album is probably the best. I think fans would like to see your vinyl from these as well. I would. I recently found the vinyl Vanity 6 album. I like the different label designs and logos for the artist names. I have the German CD singles that included the extended versions of Erotic City, Kiss, Little Red Corvette and I Would Die 4 U.
Awesome collection of the 🐐.
NICE. I LOVE IT, GREAT COLLECTION, SIR.

Hi from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
As a Minnesotan, it is hard to find any of Prince’s main popular albums outside of Purple Rain, due to the “Prince-flation” or the fact that everything sells out right away. On the bright side, my collection is growing small but surely. I have 1999, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Parade, and Welcome 2 America. I hope to find Prince and For You this year! That is the goal! Also, Prince’s inspiration for the name “Grafitti Bridge” came from an old bridge that was demolished from my hometown that was nicknamed that for years! Prince obviously lived near that area of course!
I'm Jealous. This collection is totally trumendous
Love ❤ 12” Collection
There is someone on here that has about e very Prince variation and album.
I have the long version of “17 Days” with Brenda’s spoken word.
Never heard that version!
where in the hell was sign o the times?
Maybe you missed it?
nelson, is this pertaining to me getting down there to hear those dance mixes?
I have no idea what you mean
WOW! Standing ovation for your Prince discography knowledge and your magnificent collection that I’m Literally lusting over. Life would be so nice If my little Prince Collection grows to even half of what own.
I love your collection
My all-time favorite black male pop singers are Michael Jackson Prince Tevin Campbell and Bobby Brown
Great collection mate. Planning to do my own one as well. I recognise you from MTV when Prince checked you out and saying to you: “you fit the profile of a bootlegger” 🤣🤣
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your collection. Have been planning a CD collection video as well where I touch on the MuchMoreMusic interview… hope to have it up soon 🤞
love it.
Thanks man!
@@jordinmimran welcome. I've been a Prince Fan since 1982. The Philippines released only 6 Full Albums on Vinyl - 1999 (1 disc) to Love Sexy Albums only, others 7" , 12" EPs and Cassettes. :-)
I've been thinking of doing this with my Prince 12" singles. Love this video!
Thanks, I’ve seen your posts on the Facebook Prince vinyl collecting group. You have a nice collection. I’m working on a CD video
Better open those sealed ones. They can't breathe. Causes warps . I've gotta disagree with u on that though. What would a sealed wrapped album be worth? You've got some fantastic pieces. What some of them cost to get today just wouldn't be worth it. Its not that deep lol. But I actually know a guy. A couple of them on here. Hsd everything Prince has ever done.
I know you said you can’t collect everything , but do you have Crystal Ball on Vinyl ?
Hey! Thanks for the question. I don’t have Crystal Ball on vinyl because it was never officially released on that format. I have a few of the CD variations including the 4-disc puck and the fatbox CD version. Hopefully the estate will re-release it as a legacy version. I assumed that was forthcoming when they came out with The Truth Album on vinyl for RSD2021
You have an amazing Prince vinyl collection! Love the ball cap by the way! I have a pretty good size Prince collection myself. I have all the 80's albums on vinyl. I'm missing a lot from the 90's and 00's. I have managed to pick up some of the more recent vinyl reissues. I bought "Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic" "Planet Earth" "Originals" and just yesterday I picked up a copy of the Target exclusive album on clear vinyl "Coming 2 America"!
Nice one. Your collection seems similar to mine, except that yours has more of the singles, and I definitely don’t have a Strange Tales From The Rain. XD My copies of Come and TGE are the promo versions. Hoping for the ‘91 to ‘95 run of albums to be reissued on vinyl before too long.
Hey! Thanks for the comment. It’s great to hear from other Prince record collectors. Love the ‘95 era stuff... not sure we’ll ever see a true gold experience reissue because of TMBGITW. But Come reissue might happen! :) I understand the promo 12” album is a great pressing!
Yeah, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I do slightly regret not nabbing 4Ever when it was in-print and affordable (made the mistake of thinking that because it was a hits compilation, it would be a bit like Purple Rain in the sense of staying in print forever... lol). Although compilations weren’t high on my collecting priority list for a while anyway, so bleh. XD
And sorry for the multiple replies. Blaming my phone. LOL
Prince is definitely one of my favorite artists ever, I think he's better than michael jackson this might be controversial to some people but I think prince is way better anyday
Agree!
Nice look at your collection. Its interesting commentary and very nice to see artwork. I was able to go to the Prince shop in Camden in the early 90s but bought nothing! That's how stupid I was.
Hey Water Bearer! Thanks for watching and commenting. I’d love to have seen the shop in Camden.
