Today we meet Jess, who is an avid collector of Japanese pressings of records. Her collection spans just over 1500 at the time of making this video. In this video she not only gives us an exclusive glimpse into her collection but lots of info on Japanese records along the way.

What a knowledgeable and charming lady. Great collection as well.
Such a great video, Jessica is a fountain of knowledge on Japanese pressings and a galvanising force among us European collectors of Japanese vinyl. Very enjoyable interview Jake, but you should have taken those £5 albums yourself as a nice memory of a great day ;)
She is great isn't she! And she did in fact offer me the Yes first album after filming but I just couldn't :)
Great video. Jess’ passion for music and her collection is wonderful to see.
Something today’s streaming generation will never experience or understand
My pal Jess is an absolute expert on Japanese pressings. Incredible knowledge.
Yes enjoyable video- she has some nice items and has done well- obi information was rather limited so much more to know- most overseas collectors have not got a clue about obi's so a much deeper dive needed - most of the fakes that do appear are from Italy where she is buying- take care! Worthwhile in doing a part two later on and focusing on the really nice items-
Thanks for watching and for your comments. It is Jess here from the video. I talked to Jake a lot about the nuances of the obi and its variations, alongside promos and the general history of record production in Japan. Unfortunately, the video would have been too long if these aspects were included in greater detail. However, I hope to address this in a future video with the Vinyl Hunters. Watch this space!
A fascinating woman with a fascinating collection. Great video.
What a fantastic collection. She is a good, knowledgeable speaker, too.
Great video. I'm not a fan of most of the music, but I just love the dedication and the facts and the passion and the knowledge. Could listen to you guys all day.
I just love the Japanese strip on the covers, what a collection
They are mesmerising I agree!
Hello Jake,
Wow amazing Japanese Records, Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍
Well done on another fantastic video jake , I have seen this particular collection up close and it is mind blowing. Jess is awesome 😊
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed! It's an amazing collection and a great person
Wow l love Japanese pressings. Great collection l only have a couple but l do have a lot of Japanese SACD discs and Boxsets all with the OBI including a superb boxed Aphrodites Child 666 platinum SHM. Beautiful made and crafted Japanese media. Great video
Wow ! Jessica is such a lovely lady and an absolute wealth of knowledge . Thanks for posting Jake . Cheers mate ! 😎🇦🇺
Hi Jake, a superb informative video. Jess was very charming with a superb collection, and was very knowledgeable about Japanese pressings. I also have lots of Japanese pressings and they are becoming very expensive. I went to Japan recently in April but didn't even visit any record shops - I daren't! They certainly do sound superb as they are always well cared for, especially those early Pink Floyd Odeon label pressings. Once you delve in it becomes an obsession! There is one chap who did the record fairs a few years ago selling Japanese pressings but I haven't been for a while and he was finding it hard to get stock back then.
Cheers, Paul
Good to see a rabid female collector. Good on her!
She’s an amazing wealth of knowledge. I’m humbled.
I thought I nerd-ed out about vinyl.
Great video
Blimey "OBI" Wan Kenobi... what a fantastic collection !
Great video Jake, thanks for sharing.😀
Haha! "Obi" Wan Kenobi is definitely her nickname now 😂
Good evening, I have 300 vinyls. If I look at the CDs plus the videos of various films and the boxes, I would probably have bought hundreds of vinyls. Very nice collection.
Great vid. One of your best to date. Looks like another city I need to go digging in.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed :)
今では世界的にジャケを写す事も憚られるスコーピオンズの例のアルバムがあるな
Japanese pressings are just as awesome for the sound and that's another reason why they are as special besides the look of the records. What a phenomenal collection!
Hear! Hear!
I think you're confusing Japanese vinyl with Japanese CDs. Sound-wise, Japanese pressing are not known for being any better or worse than European or American pressings.
Nice collection ! : ) Like you i loved the Japanese records! they have something special (Usualy a bonus track or sticker or a t shirt etc...) even the CD's!
Many thanks Jessica and Jake✌️ so cool to see that obi storm
Such a nice, pretty young lady. She knows a lot about vinyl collecting. I enjoyed the UK pressing as much as the Japanese pressings! Great video. I watch this one more than most. And I love your Hawkwind shirt.
Excellent, what a beautiful collection, absolutely superb! I being trying to collect all Faces on vinyl with Obi first pressing’s! Red Wax, back in the 80’s found a Jeff Beck Truth, couldn’t afford it, so my mate bought it, damn!! Record shop was behind Virgin Megastore Oxford Street London..Right, let’s get collecting on my Faces collection! Fantastic video..👍🏻😎
The obi being still attached can multiply the price of a record in Japan by a lot, depending how rare and desired it is. Obi-less records are a dime a dozen over there, for the obvious reason that hype stickers are rare in the West - people just discarded them.
One example, I saw myself: Pink Floyd - The Wall: 10 times higher value with the Obi and the sticker, etc.
What a amazing Collection, thats so awesome. Wow, I love it
Nice trip to a wonderful collection of japanese pressings Jake. A charming owner of so many treasures that she showed you and therefore us. A celebration. Thanks from gemany Vinyl Ghost Ingo
p.s. do you asked her of japanse AR vinyls ?
Super cool video y’all. Jess’s collection is amazing.
Need to check under the obi. Back. Bottom right for play loud or hopefully Roud
HAHAHA! I was yelling at my screen! Look UNDER the OBI! 😅😂
Great video, and so well produced - also adding your tube and train journey was neat, and visiting those record shops was also cool, and then visiting Jess's Japanese record collection looks amazing ! and I have noticed how Japanese vinyl's seemed to have become more popular, which is probably what has pushed the prices up, and of course for UK buyers (all thanks to Brexit) - usually you have to pay an additional 20% VAT when importing from abroad, so that makes it an even more expensive hobby than it once was in times-past. I have about 10 Kate Bush Japanese albums and 12"s and 7"s which I bought at a local record fair over 20 years ago, and some from group Eighth Wonder, and all have obi's, but her collection is incredible. I look forward to seeing more like this from record collectors around the country, it's a great idea 🥰
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Yes, Japanese vinyl is skyrocketing at the moment but it seems for a lot of people it's worth it!
Awesome collection of records you have there Jessica!
I love going to Japan and have picked up some great pressings on my last trip including soundtracks, all near mint, they really do look after their records out there
They show the utmost respect to the art of vinyl. And for that, I give a deep bow to the Japanese. 🙇
Amazing ! Cool corection with Obi🎉! & suits you Hawks T-shirt❤❗️
That grand funk album was the first piece of physical media I ever bought. Back in about 1970
This video kicked my ass! Loved it! I have a weakness for Japanese vinyl!
I got diagnosed with stage 2 emphysema a few years back and sold off my $12,000 vinyl collection.
It was soul crushing.😐
I got $2500 at a Karma.😐
What a great video! Really enjoyed it and I don't even collect those genres. Keep up the good work.
Some people work for the money, others work for a record collection 😅
Very impressive collection !! 🎸🎸🎵🎵
Nice video, I’m from Stafford too, and Double Double Good is my local record shop, a great little place for that hard to find album. I also use the other places to buy my albums.
Awesome job finding, awesome vinyls. It's fun finding great Music 🎉
The most difficult to get are the Demo Japanese records. I sold a "Nightrain" GNR promo signed by Slash a few years ago for $150. And i also found 2 Acetates Original pressing vinyls of the Rolling Stones i sold too! Very rare !
The “Play Roud” on Maiden’s Live!! + one 1st pressing would have been under the Obi on the back bottom right cover. pays to look a little deeper. 🤘
I love these Japanese Pressings. Good Girl!
I lived in Stafford for a time in the mid-1970s so it was nice to revisit the place in such charming company. Japanese vinyl has always had such great appeal, unfortunately I don't own any but do have some interesting Japanese released CDs. The flea market stores are often an excellent place to buy second hand vinyl, I always do well in them and the prices are cheaper than the specialist shops. I have found some quality records in the £5 range.
We get a lot of Japanese vinyl in Chengdu, China. The majority of the 2nd hand copies are usually mint even the CDs. The Japanese really look after their old vinyl. A lot of the 70’s stuff even includes lyrics and guitar chords.
Jess, quality video, and love your wealth of knowledge. I have acquired quite a few Japanese jazz albums that I bought in the late 70s early 80s. Back then, they were £25 up woulds... Which i have kept and are in mint condition.. They sound awesome on a quality Hi Fi. 🎧 Love the sound quality on Japanese direct cut..
I used to collect too like 33 years ago but i stoped i still have a few Slayer signed as i met them since 1992. I also had a few GNR signed as i worked for them in 1993. I still have a few Faith No More signed too....
I also worked for Pink Floyd on the Division Bell tour in Lyon, France in 1994. David refused to signed my records LOL I was 22 years old. I worked as a local Crew for 10 years (El Dorado & co prod)
Blimey - I need to go to Stafford! Not that far away either - she has a fabulous collection- sure I’ve met her somewhere?
Great Video! Have over 300 OBI Japanese Pressings.Kiss is in big demand!!
I love her Hawkwind shirt!
Very cool video.. thanks for sharing your collection Jess 🙏.
Amazing Collection!
I simply must know where she got that warrior on the edge of time shirt
Amazing collection s. I'm Japanese collector and if you have a chance to come to Tokyo for digging, I will guide you.
crazy the prices on those motorhead albums. Though they are original. I'm usually not too bothered if I have an original or not. If it sounds good and isn't one with remastered mixes, then I'm happy. Though I do buy remastered versions if I have no choice and I really want the album on vinyl.
Man I have those Jimi Hendrix Japanese pressings! The puppet cover is so sweet!
I have the same copy of Band of Gypsys. Got it from Dillon at Noble Records.
Motorhead lol ! Lemmy signed a sketch portrait to me a long time ago...At one point i also collected all the Beastie Boys 45 RPM i even had the original Polly Wog stew.......Good old days.. records were cheap
Like. It's nice when young people, especially girls, are interested in classic rock. Gorgeous collection! I wish you health and the best! Thanks to the author of the video!
Sabbath, Hendrix and Pink Floyd are also my top 3. Man i sold a copy of master of reality with the original poster. was a u.s pressing. but as soon as I opened that poster my jaw dropped. i almost kept it. i probs sold it way to cheap. I didn't know the poster was so rare. it was mint
Great video!!
Play Roud on the Maiden ep is under the back of the OBI.
*The Land of The Rising Sun •* Home to the *VERY BEST* Hardcore / D-Beat / Crust / Noise / Punk / Metal bands of our time. As for the rest of the genres & bands, you can have em.’ 😋
When i lived in Montreal in 2002 to 2005, i loved a shop located in Ste Catherine street called Astro (the shop was like 3200 square feet) the guy has like 40000 records and in his home he had the same amount. For years he refused to pay his shop taxes the shop was huge filled with Tour posters juke boxes comic books sports cards records CD's etc... so one day the city came and threw everything in the trash outside !!! Trash bins were fulled and everybody took whatever they can....!!! ; ) The best is that i asked him a few years ago how much did he want for his shop as he wanted to sell the shop but he asked me 1 million Canadian Dollars! So i said "no!" And a few years ago he lost everything!!
i would never leave that room..
Just to let Jessica know, there's a Japanese Red Wax edition of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds. the album was first released in 1978, but I don't know when it was released in Japan. Interestingly, it's the only version I've seen with the "orange" Epic label.
That is interesting. Have you got a copy yourself? I can't find a red wax copy on Discogs, only a 1978 pressing limited to 2000 copies.
KILLER collection!
Face records in New York is pretty tiny. Nothing compared to the one in Tokyo.
Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sifters is my local record shop if it wasn't for Oasis he would of shut down years ago, sold my collection to him in the early 90s had my pants right down.
Speed, Glue and Shinku
Best Japanese band ever!
This was a cool video and Jess definetely knows her stuff but it always makes a bit sad that there's this obsession with japanese pressings, OBIs and other stuff and then you barely see any japanese bands or artists in their collections.
Japan is the 2nd biggest music industry in the world only behind the US, I'm not saying you have to only listen to japanese music but given how much variety it has and how much people salivate over their pressings it'd be nice to see that translated into at least some curiosity for the music scene beyond just the collection aspect.
Maybe Jess actually likes some japanese music and just didn't show it as a lot of people wouldn't recognize it but it is something that I wish peopled looked more into in general as someone who has a decent amount of japanese pressings but are mostly of japanese musicians and bands.
Great video thanks 👍👍👍🤓
Glad you enjoyed it!
good video thanks
Great vid
I have Master of Reality with the poster still in its plastic bag👍🏼
great collection, I was dying to see the listening room 🥲
I found some Japanese compilation albums of the Rolling Stones. Some aren't even listed on Discogs. At least the last time I looked they weren't. Edit, I just checked. They are now 😂
Brilliant - thanks for sharing
Really enjoyed that. What a lovely, interesting lady
Damn that is one hell of a collection! 😍
I know right! 😳
I am Japanese. But you have lots more Japanese records than I have ever owned
cool lady, cool collection, cool vid.
Need to visit this vinyl store I’m only about an hour away
Great video
Thanks Steve!
it would have been great to see where she plays her vinyl.
Just amazing
Wow, cool Motörhead Record
I like the young lady, she's cool.
I have too many Japanese records. But I collect shellac, not vinyl. Folk, dance, and geisha songs from the final years of pure Japanese tradition before the flood of Western culture.
I also love everything Japanese, except vinyl and CDs, I collect Japanese programs for films in cinemas - I have an impressive collection. I have always been in awe of the Land of the Rising Sun.)) It’s great that there are such interesting, smart and versatile girls in the world, I immediately wanted to meet her and make friends. What a pity that I live in Russia and that there is such a long distance between us. Inner beauty makes a person even more attractive on the outside. Thanks for the cool video!
I love watching these videos, but I love finding deals on vinyl. I would never spend over $50 US. I also don't care if it's a first press, or reissue.
Fantastic collection for a fantastic girl 💚
She's a Warrior on the edge vinyl
7:53 Zodiac Mindwarp Spotted.
I live in Australia and love collecting bob marley Japanese pressing have all his island albums on EMI as there the original pressing and nearly all the 1982 re issues but sadly sellers think the Reissues are worth more than the originals and sadly even worse I see lot marley on EMI going for high prices with the OBI missing they got no idea they think cause it's bob marley it's worth a fortune
Very hard to collect in Australia thankgod for discogs sometimes
Very interesting listening about the Japanese pressing my favourite by far
In Montreal in 2003 i met the biggest Beatles records collector in the world he had like 50000 at that time
Очень интересное видео. Спасибо.
japanese vinyl is quiet with good quality packaging and NO BASS inferior mastering
