Thanks! I made a video too about Criminal Records. 😁

@@janath9118 Awesome picks!

@BestRecordShops Thank you!

Thank you very much for your comment. I am also a CD-only guy (unless I see something I love that's never been released on CD). In that context, I did some great shopping at Jazz Messengers. However, nowadays, as with everything, you need to know what you are buying. While some labels do have crummy sound, others do try (and succeed) to give you good stuff. Plus, sometimes you get great bonus tracks. Check my video on "It's a great time to buy CD's". I never go to a record shop without checking options onlne on my phote. Is this the best version? Is it a remaster? Does it have bonus tracks? Did they just released a deluxe edition? This way, I make sure I always get the best that's available. This way I rarely get disappointed. Keep your music going! 😝

Hey... thanks for the comment! :-) This particular shop does NOT carry used records. However, take a look at my other videos, where I explore record shops with great used record collections. 🙂

Muito obrigado pelo feedback. Vou estar brevemente em mais países e cidades. É sempre um prazer visitar lojas de discos, descobrir discos novos e redescobrir clássicos. Os discos são nossos velhos amigos.

@@BestRecordShops espero pela tua visita à Grécia, à Polónia ou à (talvez não aconteça) Rússia. Depreendes daqui que o que mais me interessa é o folk (ou a dita world music). Se encontrares lojas com livros de música, dá-lhes também um destaque, passando a câmera pelas lombadas. É um mundo!

Thank you for watching. More record shops coming soon! 🙂

@BestRecordShops Thank you again for replying me! I will look forward to watch your coming videos!

@@Jokerman915 I would love to visit them!

@@stevencorsoe9575 I fully agree!

Thank you. The prices average 15-20 Euros. Some rarer albums go for 30+. Condition of all the albums I saw was very good. I did not see anything scratched or damaged. Of course, some covers show some ageing, which is normal, considering that some albums are 40+ years old. The management is very professional, and they WILL call out customers who don't hold the records with care.

Thank you very much

@@spiritwalker1988 It’s just a play name. The place is awesome and the people are very nice.

@@BestRecordShops Oh, sim, ok, take care.

@@BestRecordShops благодарю!

Which ones, Dorian?

@@BestRecordShops Just compare and contrast with originals. Even the artwork on titles that Chad Kassem is putting out isn't as good as OG's. Major label cd releases and reissues from boutique labels like Big Break, Cherry Red, and Funkytowngrooves have artwork that's much darker and less defined. Cd-r's have plagued the industry as well as they'll press them and not disclose. After Wounded Bird and One Way stopped doing reissues, the market suffered to a degree. Now the majors don't want to license to third party sellers and they only want to put it on streaming services with few options especially for those into music that's not that popular like soul music and jazz. I'm primarily into cds and whenever there were unique tracks issued, I always had enough income to buy. Now I'm getting multiple pressings of various collections on disc. It's like that HDH disc you mentioned. There were several iterations of it and a couple times it was listed as complete sessions. One things for sure; it's not coming back. Mainstream reissues on cd died about 15 years ago and for soul and jazz music it was about 8 years ago. Luckily I have all of the OJC's I need but the last few I sweated because Concord after purchasing Fantasy only wants to issue cd-r. But then they'll use Craft (their own side hustle) and press three titles a year. There's literally around 1,200 titles that were once in print on the Contemporary, Pablo, Riverside, and Prestige labels. The complete Wes Montgomery on Verve is another one with at least one track left off but it was included on a compilation. Mistakes and oversights happen but when it's on titles that just got reissued it's hard to fathom. As nice as the Motown boxes are that were put out by Hipo-select, there are at least 2 wrong versions on there. Bill Inglot did a good job remastering as he compared with known 45's and didn't go back what was written on the box holding the tape. Stuff gets mislabeled and companies were always kicking different mixes around. The golden days are long over! Even when it was solid, you never knew what mixes (mono v stereo) Motown was using on a given compilation. So many people compare Diamond Life by Sade UK vs US and they miss mentioning the spoken part on "Smooth operator" on the UK version. There's double tracked vocals as well. I originally came across this difference on a various artists cd I found. This is why I never get rid of compilations and search for rarely compiled tunes even if I already have them. Keith Barrow's "You know you want to be loved" was on various comps and when they reissued the album they used the single version and an alternate shorter version as bonus. The album version is nowhere to be found. The majors were involved in pulling the master tapes but nobody checked it against the Lp. Not comparing facts is a major issue that has gotten our society in huge trouble.

@@dottiemathews6853 it’s much bigger.

@@robertesparza8771 I loooove Donny!!!

Obrigado!

With the Doobies, one can never go wrong!

Great choices too! 🙂

Oh, I do have plenty of Moodies! 😊

​@@BestRecordShops Great, that's the only way to have them.

Yes, I've learned my lesson. 🙂

@@robertesparza8771 great memories

@@zerorez4960 None of my CD’s got harmed in the process. :-)

Thanks, Dorian. I'm a huge Teddy Wilson fan. I only showed a little of it. I am currently in the process of consolidating my collection. I'm having some additional shelves being made right now. Until then, the discs are all over the place. I will be talking about the issue soon.

That's great to know! Keep it up! 🙂

All the information about the shop, is on the video's description (under the video).

@@SamplersAndThings Have fun!😊
