That's a great show. Love J Geils of course (and Peter Wolf solo too). That's an awesome double bill. Yea he's a great player, and oftentimes has the great songs to go with it, especially on the Wishes album - terrific stuff.
My favourite song of all time is Richard Thompson Vincent black lighting 1952. I'm a guitar fan electric or acoustic. I'm buying all vinyl at the moment all heavy rock. Great finds you got for great price.
Thanks mark. Funny I really like that song but it’s always surprised me that I’ve seen it show up at or near the top of Thompson’s songs polls. He has so many great songs and albums.
Thanks. He had every Joe Jackson album but I passed over many of the newer ones. Only so much I can buy and hopefully listen to. My backlog is already crazy.
Thanks so much - looking forward to giving it a good listen. That cover is so great. Made me want the album on its own but heard it's a great listen too.
Yea - thanks Steve. I passed on so much too - was crazy. My backlog is already out of control and running out of space as we've discussed. Thinking of buying those sleeves I've seen some videos on, and get rid of some jewel cases to save on space. It's getting crazy.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow i get it. ive seen the vids on those sleeves. if i ever did that i just know i’d regret it later…. or i’m pretty sure i would. tough call. but the struggle for space is real.
0f all the releases you’ve included in this excellent video, I’d most want to hear the “Jagger Richards Songbook.”I’m always keen to discover other artists’ interpretations of the music of my all-time favorite band. Next is “Thanks for the Dance.” I have no doubt that Adam Cohen would ensure that Leonard’s final studio album is an exquisite ending to his truly remarkable career. For anyone wanting a compilation representing the different phases of Eric Clapton’s professional paths, “Life In 12 Bars” is a very worthy summation. The haul you highlighted in this video is awesome in scope and almost unbelievable in value for the money. I’ve always thought that Joe Jackson deserves more widespread recognition than he’s gotten. I own a few of his CDs and find all of them chock full of “really, really good stuff.” If someone can only have one jazz artist in their music collection, I believe John Coltrane is the ultimate choice, though there are so many masters and masterful bands that I love in that genre - speaking of which (if you will), John Coltrane and Jean-Luc Ponty are my late-night/wee-hour-of-the-morning go-to jazz guys. When I saw Jeff Beck in concert in the 1970s, he had Jean-Luc playing with him. Yep, it was amazing! The rest of your finds - from Santana’s fabulous “Abraxas” and “Moonfire” releases to the interesting live release by Caravan to a few relatively obscure artists (at least to me), which I’d like to check out - have made for another very cool episode of The Alan Rosenberg Show.
Thanks so much. I think I’m gonna do a video on my jazz collection. It’s pretty small but good. But I’m a jazz novice and can use the help of recommendations from viewers more in the know.

Hi Alan 👋 I like Paul Simon , his music that he put out in the 1970s. I didn't like his album Graceland. Atlanta.Rhythm Section are good, their hits are cool. I have been listening to U2s album Joshua Tree lately, a classic recording. It's good when i find a good cd at charity stores for $ 2. I liked the Young Rascals and then they became just the Rascals. Their track Groovin from 1967 is excellent. Also their song Got to be Free. Joe Jackson is always worth a listen for me. I have a copy of his album Night & Day, which came out in the early 1980s. It featured the hit song Steppin Out. I had Santanas album Moonflower too back in 1977 on vinyl. It contained the cover of the Zombies song She's not There. Good haul Alan. Lots of listening.
Thanks Carl - the last time I was in London I spent a lot of time going to the charity shops. Very much like our thrift stores here. Love doing that and would often find some cheap used CD's. Thanks as always Carl.
I remember when it first came out, but I passed on it. Certainly was a great period - love Ragged Glory and Freedom is one of my all time favorite albums by anyone. I know there was also Arc but I think that was just noise / feedback if memory serves right. Thanks.
Nice eclectic haul ... now is a good time to be picking up CDs ... Karnataka are a great band .... saw them live at a wee bar in Aberdeen a few years back ... put on a great show and encored with a "full fat" version of Kashmir .... can't go wrong with Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, Joe Jackson ... you'll enjoy Jean Luc Ponty quite a bit I think (see if the CD has Bowing Bowing on it - great track) .... final suggestion ... if, like me, you have a lot of CDs then you might be beginning to run out of places to keep them (houses in Scotland don't have a basement) .... I saved a ton of space by eventually ditching the jewel cases for my single CDs and going for Panmer wallets that store CD, Booklet and, most importantly, inlay / inner. Got a room back ... and stiring, re-ordering, finding any CD in my collection (5,000+) is now SO much easier ... just a thought. Cool video again .... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland .... p.s. I used to be a DJ at the weekends from 1980 to 1985 ... although my home room at the time was Dylan, Young, Barclay James Harvest, Wishbone Ash, Whitesnake, UFO, Rainbow, Pat Travers etc etc, over time I got to really appreciate the supreme musicianship that went into creating the genuinely awesome dance music of the day - it started with Streetlife by the Crusaders (amazing), Nile Rogers guitar work, and .... Quincy Jones' production work (and session guys - Steve Lukather et al - doing their thing on Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and Thrillet albums) .... these are stellar albums and the tunes from that era just "work" ... from there it's a small hop to the amazing material of the Average White Band, Chaka Khan and Rufus etc etc ... exemplary playing with many of the real big hitting sesseion guys (Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Dean Parks, Jay Graydon) ... many of whom are the leading practitioners of "yacht rock" (Christopher Cross debut being a great example) ... so, in summary, pump out MJ's earlier solo stuff !! .... p.p.s. can send you photo of how I store CDs if interested. CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland
Thanks so much for your amazing comments and insight. I'm excited in that Bowing-Bowing is the first song on the CD. Looks pretty comprehensive - has 16 songs remastered on Rhino. You read my mind. I've been watching videos about replacing Jewel cases on at least some of my CD's - at least the commons. I've run out of room. I have a small house - the CD's are housed in my basement, which is also small. It's like a small record store with over 5000 CD's and vinyl. I think I have no choice but to start replacing the CD's with the sleeves. It seems like most who've done it, like you, and we have a similar sized collection - it's a fantastic alternative. Very cool you were a DJ and have such expertise. It's definitelty true the musicianship that those legendary studio players that show up sometimes when least expected. Nice mention of Christopher Cross and what an excellent player he actually is but you wouldn't know it, because they mix is guitar way down in the mix.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow re Christopher Cross ... I had been thinking of getting the signed, limited, box set for a while (since 2020!) but was always put off because of freight and customs costs to UK ... but, after his excellent interview with Rick Beato, I decided I'd check out even more of his catalougue ... and was absolutely hooked once I heard the Thinking of You album, his live CD sets and his 2 x Freedonia off-shoot releases (which are just great) ... so I contacted his web site folk (who were super helpful) and, in the end, I did buy the box set - which arrived 2 weeks later via a totally seamless and straightforward process with costs as expected ... they added the 2 x Freedonia CDs as freebies which was great ... the whole set is very well done ... Re CD sleeves - I did all my single CD jewel case CDs (c. 4,200) (but NOT fat boxes, digipaks, 2 / 3 CD sets, etc) ... took a few weeks ... I even had the willing help of Mrs McGregor who was keen to get a room back and to vacuum a carpet that had not seen the light of day in years .... now I've got that room to strum my guitars too. The wallets are stored in 75 x flatpack cardboard boxes I found from a Europen/ UK store (IKEA) that allowed me to store ALL my non box-set CDs (i.e. those in sleeves, digipacks, 2CD sets etc) in "all in" alphabetical order (no need to store different types of CDs in different packagung formats in different locations) ... such a boost ... it's great that these wallets now exist ... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland
@@calummcgregor3662 I know relatively little about Christopher Cross. Never took him seriously until I also watched something on him. And was shocked at his abilities and how the mixing hid his playing. I went and bought the classic debut and listened closely and it opened my eyes. It’s. All I have from him. Will have to continue and look for Thinking of You and more. Not familiar with the box you mentioned. Sounds incredible. Lol about your wife. Can totally relate. I have no choice. Gonna have to go to the sleeves. They look nice. Just a mental thing with jewel cases but no choice. Has to be done. Thanks as always.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow The album I meant was Take Me As I Am ... not Thinking of You (that's a disco tune by Sister Sledge ... must have been distracted thinking about DJ days .... sloppy!)
@@calummcgregor3662 I wouldn’t know the difference as yet. I only have snd own the first album. Still at work. Will look it up tonight. Thanks for the tip. And no Sister Sledge in my collection so I wouldn’t know the distance either.
I keep saying that this is the golden age of buying CD's - it's crazy. For me, my cars are old and have CD players. CD's are virtually indestructable - I've bought CD's that were heavily scratched and damn they still play perfectly. And the sound to me is the best. Some CD's (like many vinyl albums) don't sound great, but it's not the CD technology, it's the mastering. I could go on. And I lots of vinyl too, but nothing beats a great CD.
Thanks for the reply. I completely agree about the quality of CDs. The often repeated blanket statement is ‘vinyl sounds better than CDs’ and that is just not always true for many reasons. I need to search out some flea markets in my area!
For me they're so much fun - never know what you're gonna find. But always really cheap. My experience is that vinyl rarely sounds better than CD's. I have a very sold 1980's component system. It's good stuff. Now there are people with super high quality $10,000 turntables with springs - crazy stuff. I don't have that kind of money, nor would I ever spend it on a turntable if I had it. But for very good systems - a CD reproduces near perfect reproduction for the average human ear. Vinyl has severe physical limitations with the grooves, where on the vinyl record songs can be because bass response can only work well in certain areas of vinyl...etc. Plus vinyl has to be cleaned etc. Listen, I like vinyl, I've collected it since 1973. But I can plan an original first pressing on vinyl, and a new 180 pound gram vinyl and a digitally remastered CD of it (and I do this alot for friends and family) and do a blind listen. It's an eye opener in my house. Not once has the digitally remastered CD's not sounded the best. It's all about the mastering. The trend to brickwall the newer CD's is terrible - they're too loud and brittle. The original CD's sounded like ok Vinyl. But the middle ground of digitally remastered CD's are incredible. Their, I said it lol And the best is these younger "fad" vinyl buyers who play vinyl on these little turntables with speakers that sound like old transistor radios.....enough of my soapbox....lol did I mention I do like vinyl and have tons of it dating from back in 1973 when I first started buying....lol @@broshoe16
Thanks. It's true. This is the time...but time and space...creating a stressful (but fun stress) situation for me. lol Yea, don't know why I passed on Weld back in the day.
Thanks - psyched for that. He's so prolific. I have a lot of Richard Thompson but not everything. Hard to keep up with his output (like Neil Young..but not as bad..lol). I know three of the songs on it. yea - glad to have it. Thanks.
Love the cap Alan 😊 Oh that undercurrent album, CD, cover was pretty! I still can’t believe were not of similar minds about October! I love but also slightly hate those beautiful U2 deluxe sets. Why? Well, they are very pretty, but they don’t include Rattle & Hum and just stops. Achtung Baby is an entirely different style and… well, that’s what she wrote as they say… Neil Young, yeah, he sures does. I have 63 of his records not including CSNY and Buffalo Springfield! I’d have more but his stuff tends to cost 30% more new than other artists these days and they stay expensive until you find them on discogs I feel.
Thanks. Funny, the only time I wear a hat is in my videos but I thought it would be a fun thing to wear a different cap for videos, each give a little clue about things I like or places I've been. You have 63 Neil Young albums - wow. I thought I had a lot at 34. I can't keep up with him, just so prolific - he never stops. Interesting the price differences in different countries. I didn't really think about that. Well I'll be listening to October again as I take in that deluxe set. It's not that I don't like it, just not as much as the others, but perhaps it'll strike me different this time. Thanks as always..
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow for sure wear’em if you got them! I nearly asked about the new Stones album but then you mentioned it yourself. I just uploaded what I hope will be «my thing» Completion Time! First out, City Boy. Just joshing about October, I’ve yet to meet anyone who agrees with me. Love that album 😊
Alan, your wife has been texting me all day begging me to do something about all this shit you are bringing into her house. I told her I was powerless over your addiction. I have that Sandy Denny. You will enjoy it. I love Richard Thompson and love that album. Tear Stained Letter is a favorite. I have seen him solo, with a trio, a big electric band, etc. He's one of my favorite guitarists. Alan, while you were at the flea market, my ass was inside all day. We hit a new high temperature today. It was 105🥵 and very humid. A free sauna day.....
Lol - wow - you really must be speaking with her, because when I came back from the flea market - it was a shopping bag filled with the CD's and she wasn't happy - she's like you're not even listening to the other ones you bought. She's right. Impossible for me to keep up. phew - 105% brutal. Was hot here today, I was hot from the flea market, but no where in your league. Yea, literally have to stay in with A/C all day. But can catch up with listening I guess. Thanks David.
I know you do. Probably from Import CD's. I've never ever seen them out in the wild - not even at record show. Crazy that they were at the flea market. I still can't believe it. What's that other band that's similar....Panic Room? Didn't have that CD though. I do have Karnataka and Magenta already but only one album by each. (Strange Behavior which is incredible - LOVE IT and Magenta's Seven) - so this is like the switch - will now have Karnataka studio album and Magenta's double live CD.
@@thomaswery3087 this was truly a one in a million. I don’t even find Karnataka, Mostly Autumn or Magenta at record shows or stores. This was crazy luck. Thanks.
Is it? Wow - thanks. I don't know why I never picked it up. Only Joni I was missing from the studio releases, haven't picked up the new live release either. I wasn't a big fan of the two CD "Travelogue" release, maybe that's why. Thanks for the tip. Will listen to it this week. >
Is it? Like that brickwalled issue? Hmm - that will be disappointing. The 3 bonus live tracks from Royal Albert Hall look cool too. Thanks for the tip.
Many of my favourites there, I'm always surprised that you can pick up CD's by bands such as Karnataka and Magenta in the U.S. Funnily enough I picked up Body and Soul on Saturday for a good price.
Finding Karnataka, Magenta, and Mostly Autumn (who are my favorite of that "genre") are very hard, damn near impossible to find out in the wild. Never see them a record stores, flea markets etc. This was so lucky and incredibly rare. Have to buy those on Amazon or Import CD's. Body And Soul has such an incredibly great sound - I know it was digitally recorded. It sounds incredible. Enjoy if it's your first purchase of that great album.
Wings over America. McCartney's wingspan ,.69 each. Styx extended versions. Pete Townsend's deep end face to face. Styx equinox and cornerstone. Aztec camera the knife produced by mark knopler. Dylan bootleg series vol. 12 .
Wow. Where. That’s amazing. Deep end face to face. Is that with a dvd. The newer version from a couple of years ago. Never see that out there in the wild
You're not kidding. wow. I paid full price for that Townshend set, because I loved his original Deep End live CD so much. And you got a Dylan Bootleg Series for that cheap. And Wings Over America and Wingspan - fantasic compilation. My favorite McCartney comp. wow - nice going - congratulations - awesome.@@SpenceCurry
Just this morning, I was trying to recall the Stiff Records New Wave artists that I saw altogether on tour somewhere or other (the Roundhouse in London?). I got Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Graham Parker, Ian Dury, Larry Wallis and Reckless Eric, but there was one key guy missing. He was called Joe Somebody, I thought. Sharp shoes. Nope, couldn't remember. Then, this afternoon, you pulled out five Joe Jackson albums in your haul. Could you arrange to repeat this trick every time I can't remember someone's name? Thanks in advance.
Lol - that's awesome comment. Thanks. Joe somebody. That Joe somebody is really good. Have a lot of his albums, but those early ones are really good,. Not quite as up there as that Elvis...somebody......not Presley....Elvis.....Costello yea that was hit. He's really really good. Thanks my friend.
Well, I'm 69 and often names escape me. Strangely, usually the same one. I can never remember 'The Pretender' guy, you know, the one who lived under Don Henley in LA. I even have some kind of mnemonic to remember his name, and I can't remember that either. I've been to Winslow, Arizona, where there's a mural to 'Take it easy' and a statue of him. I have three of his albums. Worse, he is the cousin of a very good friend of ours and we have a standing invite to meet him at her annual New Year's Eve party. OK, I've finally got him without looking up 'The Pretender.' Jackson Browne. But it will be the same struggle next time. Apropos, a fun story. A retired diplomat met a woman at a party and he knew he had seen her somewhere, had even met her before, but couldn't quite remember who she was So, he stalled, said it was a pleasure to see her again, and how was she? Had she been doing anything interesting recently. And what was her husband up to nowadays? "Oh, he's still King," she replied. He was talking with the Queen of Denmark.
Yeah, that is awkward when it's people you know. "I know I should know you, but I just can't place you at the moment " "I'm your wife." My big fear is calling my wife by my first wife's name. I haven't done it yet in nearly twelve years but there have been some close calls. My dad always called my girlfriend, Katherine, Kathleen because he had a favorite sister called Kathleen. I would have made it easier for him as my wife is called Kathleen, but my dad died before I met her. The thing to remember is that, as every day goes by, you have 24 hours of stuff more to remember.
Dam man ,nice ...I'm out in Middle Island and there ain't no flea markets out here...are these from the one on Sunrise by Bellmore? I used to pass by there when i work out of the Five Towns ...Take care my man...
Yes it's the Bellmore Flea Market on Sunrise. More often than not it's the same old used CDs and millions of DVD's for dirt cheap. But every once in a while there will be a new vendor or someone has a new batch of CD's. This one I just showed was the best ever and super rare occasion, but it does happen. I go pretty much every Sunday and always find at least something if you have the patience to go through a lot of junk which is most of the stuff sometimes.
Yes i can see that patience pays..i saw on another guys channel the flea market...Ok this you won't believe.I do alot of walking and outside my development there is a old Astoria Saving Bank building its closed like 3 years now.i walk around the back lot and it leads,to the back way into my place .Well 2 weeks ago,under where the drive thru is ,were cds a pile of them alot of 80s rock and jazz .I grab like 10 and hurry and walk back to my place .Thinking what should i do ,drive back or get bags and carry them back.before some else ,finds them....I drive back, 150 cds of which i have 25 already...Nuts,you couldn't see them from the street it on an incline. BUT 150 cds ,lots of jazz ,blues ,only like 5 had broken cases.Just thrown in a pile .Some one just dumped them there.Unbelieveable but true,i thought i hit a Lottery. oh there were 2 Michael Jackson's LOL.....take care,my man...
@@limomangeno wow that’s an insane story. But a great summary of what’s going on with CDs. Crazy. People just dumping them. Like what happened with vinyl when CDs came out. Perhaps CDs will come back one day to the general public. Who knows. Hopefully. We will be sitting pretty.
Yes i was in Shock,but i get cds for 1.99 and 30% off on Tuesdays if your a Senior like me ,thats at Savers the one by me has,some good buys....so for 1.66 each you can get great buys. Double sets same price.i only buy ones in very good plus or no marks on the discs..Some people did take great care,of there stuff ,some are total garbage...have a great day my man.
Jagger Richard(s) Songbook CD. One song not owned by the Kleins? Silver Train. Eric C - Life 12 bars... Hard core collection: All songs before his "grieving" period 1971-73, except the last 3. 2 from 74 and Tears in Heaven. And Michael... 7 songs from Thriller and 8 from Bad... What else do you need... MJ was not a pedo, just gay like George M and Prince. Fruits? But what loss.. they all died much too young. MJ was/is Top 10 dancer of all time ... What a talent, he was. PS Do you really listen 5 times to all these albums (25) too, before you archive them?
Thanks so much. MJ certainly was an immense talent in his prime. Any new album to me yes I listen to at least five times. If I know the material like a best of compilation then no. And if it’s an upgrade and already own a previous different version then no. A box set no. Live album that I really know the stuff then no as well. But new studio album definitely. I have to feel that I know the material before it goes on my database and on the shelf. And not all of it makes it. Probably 20% don’t make the cut.
You’re right. I didn’t think of that but it’s all Klein stuff except Silver Train and it’s not the Johnny Winter version. I wonder if Klein has a piece of a silver strain as well.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow I tried to find out. Silver Train was not recorded in Jamaica, 1972 ... But first in 1970, and then in 1973 during mixing of GHS.
I know the Johnny Winter version came out first on Still Alive And Well which was early 1973. I just looked up Wikipedia that says this "Recording of the song had already begun in 1970 during sessions for Sticky Fingers" as you also just pointed out. So Silver Train is probably under Klein as well. I know some of Exile's songs are also under his ownership. @@FuturePast2019

Quincy Jones' production work (and session guys - Steve Lukather et al - doing their thing on Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and Thrillet albums) .... these are stellar albums and the tunes from that era just "work" ... from there it's a small hop to the amazing material of the Average White Band, Chaka Khan and Rufus etc etc ... exemplary playing with many of the real big hitting sesseion guys (Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Dean Parks, Jay Graydon) ... many of whom are the leading practitioners of "yacht rock" (Christopher Cross debut being a great example) ... so, in summary, pump out MJ's earlier solo stuff !! .... p.p.s. can send you photo of how I store CDs if interested.

Thanks so much for your amazing comments and insight. I'm excited in that Bowing-Bowing is the first song on the CD. Looks pretty comprehensive - has 16 songs remastered on Rhino. You read my mind. I've been watching videos about replacing Jewel cases on at least some of my CD's - at least the commons. I've run out of room. I have a small house - the CD's are housed in my basement, which is also small. It's like a small record store with over 5000 CD's and vinyl. I think I have no choice but to start replacing the CD's with the sleeves. It seems like most who've done it, like you, and we have a similar sized collection - it's a fantastic alternative. Very cool you were a DJ and have such expertise. It's definitelty true the musicianship that those legendary studio players that show up sometimes when least expected. Nice mention of Christopher Cross and what an excellent player he actually is but you wouldn't know it, because they mix is guitar way down in the mix.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow re Christopher Cross ... I had been thinking of getting the signed, limited, box set for a while (since 2020!) but was always put off because of freight and customs costs to UK ... but, after his excellent interview with Rick Beato, I decided I'd check out even more of his catalougue ... and was absolutely hooked once I heard the Thinking of You album, his live CD sets and his 2 x Freedonia off-shoot releases (which are just great) ... so I contacted his web site folk (who were super helpful) and, in the end, I did buy the box set - which arrived 2 weeks later via a totally seamless and straightforward process with costs as expected ... they added the 2 x Freedonia CDs as freebies which was great ... the whole set is very well done ...
Re CD sleeves - I did all my single CD jewel case CDs (c. 4,200) (but NOT fat boxes, digipaks, 2 / 3 CD sets, etc) ... took a few weeks ... I even had the willing help of Mrs McGregor who was keen to get a room back and to vacuum a carpet that had not seen the light of day in years .... now I've got that room to strum my guitars too. The wallets are stored in 75 x flatpack cardboard boxes I found from a Europen/ UK store (IKEA) that allowed me to store ALL my non box-set CDs (i.e. those in sleeves, digipacks, 2CD sets etc) in "all in" alphabetical order (no need to store different types of CDs in different packagung formats in different locations) ... such a boost ... it's great that these wallets now exist ...

@@calummcgregor3662 I know relatively little about Christopher Cross. Never took him seriously until I also watched something on him. And was shocked at his abilities and how the mixing hid his playing. I went and bought the classic debut and listened closely and it opened my eyes. It’s. All I have from him. Will have to continue and look for Thinking of You and more. Not familiar with the box you mentioned. Sounds incredible. Lol about your wife. Can totally relate. I have no choice. Gonna have to go to the sleeves. They look nice. Just a mental thing with jewel cases but no choice. Has to be done. Thanks as always.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow The album I meant was Take Me As I Am ... not Thinking of You (that's a disco tune by Sister Sledge ... must have been distracted thinking about DJ days .... sloppy!)
@@calummcgregor3662 I wouldn’t know the difference as yet. I only have snd own the first album. Still at work. Will look it up tonight. Thanks for the tip. And no Sister Sledge in my collection so I wouldn’t know the distance either.
You had me at ‘I prefer CDs’ 😊
I keep saying that this is the golden age of buying CD's - it's crazy. For me, my cars are old and have CD players. CD's are virtually indestructable - I've bought CD's that were heavily scratched and damn they still play perfectly. And the sound to me is the best. Some CD's (like many vinyl albums) don't sound great, but it's not the CD technology, it's the mastering. I could go on. And I lots of vinyl too, but nothing beats a great CD.
Thanks for the reply. I completely agree about the quality of CDs. The often repeated blanket statement is ‘vinyl sounds better than CDs’ and that is just not always true for many reasons. I need to search out some flea markets in my area!
For me they're so much fun - never know what you're gonna find. But always really cheap. My experience is that vinyl rarely sounds better than CD's. I have a very sold 1980's component system. It's good stuff. Now there are people with super high quality $10,000 turntables with springs - crazy stuff. I don't have that kind of money, nor would I ever spend it on a turntable if I had it. But for very good systems - a CD reproduces near perfect reproduction for the average human ear. Vinyl has severe physical limitations with the grooves, where on the vinyl record songs can be because bass response can only work well in certain areas of vinyl...etc. Plus vinyl has to be cleaned etc. Listen, I like vinyl, I've collected it since 1973. But I can plan an original first pressing on vinyl, and a new 180 pound gram vinyl and a digitally remastered CD of it (and I do this alot for friends and family) and do a blind listen. It's an eye opener in my house. Not once has the digitally remastered CD's not sounded the best. It's all about the mastering. The trend to brickwall the newer CD's is terrible - they're too loud and brittle. The original CD's sounded like ok Vinyl. But the middle ground of digitally remastered CD's are incredible. Their, I said it lol And the best is these younger "fad" vinyl buyers who play vinyl on these little turntables with speakers that sound like old transistor radios.....enough of my soapbox....lol did I mention I do like vinyl and have tons of it dating from back in 1973 when I first started buying....lol @@broshoe16
When they're practically giving CD's away, you have to take them. Weld by Neil Young is a great live album. One of my favorites.
Thanks. It's true. This is the time...but time and space...creating a stressful (but fun stress) situation for me. lol Yea, don't know why I passed on Weld back in the day.
Nice haul
Thanks so much.
Hand of Kindness is great.
Thanks - psyched for that. He's so prolific. I have a lot of Richard Thompson but not everything. Hard to keep up with his output (like Neil Young..but not as bad..lol). I know three of the songs on it. yea - glad to have it. Thanks.
Love the cap Alan 😊
Oh that undercurrent album, CD, cover was pretty!
I still can’t believe were not of similar minds about October!
I love but also slightly hate those beautiful U2 deluxe sets. Why? Well, they are very pretty, but they don’t include Rattle & Hum and just stops. Achtung Baby is an entirely different style and… well, that’s what she wrote as they say…
Neil Young, yeah, he sures does. I have 63 of his records not including CSNY and Buffalo Springfield! I’d have more but his stuff tends to cost 30% more new than other artists these days and they stay expensive until you find them on discogs I feel.
Thanks. Funny, the only time I wear a hat is in my videos but I thought it would be a fun thing to wear a different cap for videos, each give a little clue about things I like or places I've been. You have 63 Neil Young albums - wow. I thought I had a lot at 34. I can't keep up with him, just so prolific - he never stops. Interesting the price differences in different countries. I didn't really think about that. Well I'll be listening to October again as I take in that deluxe set. It's not that I don't like it, just not as much as the others, but perhaps it'll strike me different this time. Thanks as always..
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow for sure wear’em if you got them! I nearly asked about the new Stones album but then you mentioned it yourself.
I just uploaded what I hope will be «my thing» Completion Time! First out, City Boy.
Just joshing about October, I’ve yet to meet anyone who agrees with me. Love that album 😊
@@MortenAastad gonna catch up on your videos tonight hopefully.
Alan, your wife has been texting me all day begging me to do something about all this shit you are bringing into her house. I told her I was powerless over your addiction. I have that Sandy Denny. You will enjoy it. I love Richard Thompson and love that album. Tear Stained Letter is a favorite. I have seen him solo, with a trio, a big electric band, etc. He's one of my favorite guitarists. Alan, while you were at the flea market, my ass was inside all day. We hit a new high temperature today. It was 105🥵 and very humid. A free sauna day.....
Lol - wow - you really must be speaking with her, because when I came back from the flea market - it was a shopping bag filled with the CD's and she wasn't happy - she's like you're not even listening to the other ones you bought. She's right. Impossible for me to keep up. phew - 105% brutal. Was hot here today, I was hot from the flea market, but no where in your league. Yea, literally have to stay in with A/C all day. But can catch up with listening I guess. Thanks David.
Guess who also has Karnataka and Magenta lol.Nice haul Alan
I know you do. Probably from Import CD's. I've never ever seen them out in the wild - not even at record show. Crazy that they were at the flea market. I still can't believe it. What's that other band that's similar....Panic Room? Didn't have that CD though. I do have Karnataka and Magenta already but only one album by each. (Strange Behavior which is incredible - LOVE IT and Magenta's Seven) - so this is like the switch - will now have Karnataka studio album and Magenta's double live CD.
Panic Room is good.Still can't believe your prices that your getting.Go get them Alan@@TheAlanRosenbergShow
@@thomaswery3087 this was truly a one in a million. I don’t even find Karnataka, Mostly Autumn or Magenta at record shows or stores. This was crazy luck. Thanks.
Both Sides Now is great with a big band I think.
Is it? Wow - thanks. I don't know why I never picked it up. Only Joni I was missing from the studio releases, haven't picked up the new live release either. I wasn't a big fan of the two CD "Travelogue" release, maybe that's why. Thanks for the tip. Will listen to it this week.
>
I'd hang onto that other Abraxas, the new one is a little shrill.
Is it? Like that brickwalled issue? Hmm - that will be disappointing. The 3 bonus live tracks from Royal Albert Hall look cool too. Thanks for the tip.
Many of my favourites there, I'm always surprised that you can pick up CD's by bands such as Karnataka and Magenta in the U.S. Funnily enough I picked up Body and Soul on Saturday for a good price.
Finding Karnataka, Magenta, and Mostly Autumn (who are my favorite of that "genre") are very hard, damn near impossible to find out in the wild. Never see them a record stores, flea markets etc. This was so lucky and incredibly rare. Have to buy those on Amazon or Import CD's. Body And Soul has such an incredibly great sound - I know it was digitally recorded. It sounds incredible. Enjoy if it's your first purchase of that great album.
Wings over America. McCartney's wingspan ,.69 each. Styx extended versions. Pete Townsend's deep end face to face. Styx equinox and cornerstone. Aztec camera the knife produced by mark knopler. Dylan bootleg series vol. 12 .
Wow. Where. That’s amazing. Deep end face to face. Is that with a dvd. The newer version from a couple of years ago. Never see that out there in the wild
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow yes it is. In Bellingham WA. We have a hip college town and liberal residents. Have continued to pull amazing finds here cheap
You're not kidding. wow. I paid full price for that Townshend set, because I loved his original Deep End live CD so much. And you got a Dylan Bootleg Series for that cheap. And Wings Over America and Wingspan - fantasic compilation. My favorite McCartney comp. wow - nice going - congratulations - awesome.@@SpenceCurry
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow the key is getting out there in the wilderness and meeting the finds halfway.
@@SpenceCurry absolutely. Will be trying my luck in a couple of hours. So much fun.
Just this morning, I was trying to recall the Stiff Records New Wave artists that I saw altogether on tour somewhere or other (the Roundhouse in London?). I got Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Graham Parker, Ian Dury, Larry Wallis and Reckless Eric, but there was one key guy missing. He was called Joe Somebody, I thought. Sharp shoes. Nope, couldn't remember.
Then, this afternoon, you pulled out five Joe Jackson albums in your haul.
Could you arrange to repeat this trick every time I can't remember someone's name? Thanks in advance.
Lol - that's awesome comment. Thanks. Joe somebody. That Joe somebody is really good. Have a lot of his albums, but those early ones are really good,. Not quite as up there as that Elvis...somebody......not Presley....Elvis.....Costello yea that was hit. He's really really good. Thanks my friend.
Well, I'm 69 and often names escape me. Strangely, usually the same one. I can never remember 'The Pretender' guy, you know, the one who lived under Don Henley in LA. I even have some kind of mnemonic to remember his name, and I can't remember that either. I've been to Winslow, Arizona, where there's a mural to 'Take it easy' and a statue of him. I have three of his albums. Worse, he is the cousin of a very good friend of ours and we have a standing invite to meet him at her annual New Year's Eve party.
OK, I've finally got him without looking up 'The Pretender.' Jackson Browne. But it will be the same struggle next time.
Apropos, a fun story. A retired diplomat met a woman at a party and he knew he had seen her somewhere, had even met her before, but couldn't quite remember who she was
So, he stalled, said it was a pleasure to see her again, and how was she? Had she been doing anything interesting recently. And what was her husband up to nowadays?
"Oh, he's still King," she replied.
He was talking with the Queen of Denmark.
@@timhewtson6212 that’s awesome. Really funny. I’m 61 soon and I forget names too. But people I know. Not rock stars. That’s probably worse. Lol
Yeah, that is awkward when it's people you know.
"I know I should know you, but I just can't place you at the moment "
"I'm your wife."
My big fear is calling my wife by my first wife's name. I haven't done it yet in nearly twelve years but there have been some close calls.
My dad always called my girlfriend, Katherine, Kathleen because he had a favorite sister called Kathleen. I would have made it easier for him as my wife is called Kathleen, but my dad died before I met her.
The thing to remember is that, as every day goes by, you have 24 hours of stuff more to remember.
I'm hysterical. Thanks for the laughs and the truth behind them. @@timhewtson6212
Dam man ,nice ...I'm out in Middle Island and there ain't no flea markets out here...are these from the one on Sunrise by Bellmore? I used to pass by there when i work out of the Five Towns ...Take care my man...
Yes it's the Bellmore Flea Market on Sunrise. More often than not it's the same old used CDs and millions of DVD's for dirt cheap. But every once in a while there will be a new vendor or someone has a new batch of CD's. This one I just showed was the best ever and super rare occasion, but it does happen. I go pretty much every Sunday and always find at least something if you have the patience to go through a lot of junk which is most of the stuff sometimes.
Yes i can see that patience pays..i saw on another guys channel the flea market...Ok this you won't believe.I do alot of walking and outside my development there is a old Astoria Saving Bank building its closed like 3 years now.i walk around the back lot and it leads,to the back way into my place .Well 2 weeks ago,under where the drive thru is ,were cds a pile of them alot of 80s rock and jazz .I grab like 10 and hurry and walk back to my place .Thinking what should i do ,drive back or get bags and carry them back.before some else ,finds them....I drive back, 150 cds of which i have 25 already...Nuts,you couldn't see them from the street it on an incline. BUT 150 cds ,lots of jazz ,blues ,only like 5 had broken cases.Just thrown in a pile .Some one just dumped them there.Unbelieveable but true,i thought i hit a Lottery. oh there were 2 Michael Jackson's LOL.....take care,my man...
@@limomangeno wow that’s an insane story. But a great summary of what’s going on with CDs. Crazy. People just dumping them. Like what happened with vinyl when CDs came out. Perhaps CDs will come back one day to the general public. Who knows. Hopefully. We will be sitting pretty.
Yes i was in Shock,but i get cds for 1.99 and 30% off on Tuesdays if your a Senior like me ,thats at Savers the one by me has,some good buys....so for 1.66 each you can get great buys. Double sets same price.i only buy ones in very good plus or no marks on the discs..Some people did take great care,of there stuff ,some are total garbage...have a great day my man.
you too - great story - thanks for sharing@@limomangeno
Bob Dylan bootleg series
awesome - love it.
Jagger Richard(s) Songbook CD. One song not owned by the Kleins? Silver Train.
Eric C - Life 12 bars... Hard core collection: All songs before his "grieving" period 1971-73, except the last 3. 2 from 74 and Tears in Heaven.
And Michael... 7 songs from Thriller and 8 from Bad... What else do you need... MJ was not a pedo, just gay like George M and Prince. Fruits? But what loss.. they all died much too young. MJ was/is Top 10 dancer of all time ... What a talent, he was.
PS
Do you really listen 5 times to all these albums (25) too, before you archive them?
Thanks so much. MJ certainly was an immense talent in his prime. Any new album to me yes I listen to at least five times. If I know the material like a best of compilation then no. And if it’s an upgrade and already own a previous different version then no. A box set no. Live album that I really know the stuff then no as well. But new studio album definitely. I have to feel that I know the material before it goes on my database and on the shelf. And not all of it makes it. Probably 20% don’t make the cut.
You’re right. I didn’t think of that but it’s all Klein stuff except Silver Train and it’s not the Johnny Winter version. I wonder if Klein has a piece of a silver strain as well.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow I tried to find out. Silver Train was not recorded in Jamaica, 1972 ... But first in 1970, and then in 1973 during mixing of GHS.
I know the Johnny Winter version came out first on Still Alive And Well which was early 1973. I just looked up Wikipedia that says this "Recording of the song had already begun in 1970 during sessions for Sticky Fingers" as you also just pointed out. So Silver Train is probably under Klein as well. I know some of Exile's songs are also under his ownership. @@FuturePast2019
