May I play devils advocate and compare the fan base of the beatles back in the early 60s to the fan base of Taylor swift right now? They seem super similar to me
I'm a music fan, pretty traditional stuff, have all the usuals, full LP catalogs of Zep, Beatles, Who, Stones, Floyd, Steely Dan, Clapton, Cream, Weezer, Purple, Bowie, Reed and on and on. Plus jazz, Sinatra etc. But to be fair Taylor is something special and connects meaningfully with millions of her generation and younger. Do I listen to her, no. Do I get annoyed by her, no. I appreciate her talent and she means a lot and is important to my daughter, a young adult and I know how she connects to her. Nice to see.
Nice group of RSD pick ups, and the Pink Floyd 50th anniversary reissues look very cool. RSD this year was a blast, so much fun watching our hobby grow. Thanks as always for sharing, have a great week!
Great call on a reissue of Let It Be Naked - one of my favorite Beatles releases for sure. And on Discogs - 6,000 have it and 2,800 people want it, making it one of the most-wanted Beatles album on Discogs, even over any of the 2012 Beatles Mono pressings.
I totally agree with you on the Bowie RSD. I already have the naked Beatles vinyl, I want the Butcher Cover as a RSD reissue with a good quality pic of Butcher Cover.
Wow, after a morning of watching some negative YT videos this one was such a breath of sunshine! It was so nice seeing you enthusiastic and smiling and show and telling your haul. Keep the positive vibes coming! Love ya, Melinda! -Glen
She’s bought records from a store I frequent…McKay’s in Nashville, at least I assume Nashville because there are others and a new one opening somewhere.
Really great pick ups! I ended up getting the Bowie record and the Ramones. Unfortunately my local store did not get very much inventory. But it was still a great RSD.
The Bowie RSD relesease was a disappointment to me. I was expecting demo versions from the Spiders from Mars album. (or at least different versions of the songs) … Seems like a Bowie estate cash grab.
I wasn't sure if the songs were going to be alternate takes but I did enjoy the songs that aren't on the album. It was great to hear something new. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
Rachel ghost channel just bought let it be naked for over 200 dollars. Keep talking about this and they will release lp again. I heard this at the daily three hour plus livestreams❤
I agree with you on The Beatles LET IT BE...NAKED. It is the perfect time with Disney+ about to re-release LET IT BE documentary next month. I'd also like to see a release of GET BACK (THE ROOFTOP PERFORMANCE) which The Beatles placed on streaming services last year but have not released a physical copy (yet?).
Great stuff! But I'm with Michael Fremer that vinyl doesn't wear if it's kept clean and played on light tracking cartridges and played properly! These things are tuff heirlooms! I've bought quite a few old records I'm sure were played on changers over and over and still sound "decent"! I've seen your equipment, you have nothing to worry about with wear! 😊
You're probably right. My stylus shouldn't hurt a record. I do enjoy playing different versions although I will probably never wear one copy out. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
Nice to hear you took your time to get to RSD and still got two releases! I admit I haven’t heard dark side to the moon, that anniversary record looks awesome. great record review, can’t believe you film this all in one take!!
Thank you very much. My husband helps me edit my videos so I try to keep things simple. I do have to edit sometimes. Lol. I highly recommend that you give Dark Side a listen. ❤️ Thank you and take care.
I would have been standing in line in the cold for a chance to get Let It Be Naked. "I've Got a Feeling" has moved up my list in recent years of best Beatles songs. Paul has done it on his last two American tours.
So glad you bought The Amboy Dukes "Journey To The Centre Of Your Mind" it is the quintessential psychedelic LP of the Swingin' 60's - crank it up and let's Do The Swirl...haha - My brother got me The Bowie Collection which is fantastic "Velvet Goldmine' is my new favorite Bowie song...what a music master he was - The Dark Side Of The Moon was pricey so I passed on it and having heard every other version I could live without it - I'm so glad you were able to participate in RSD at a record store I really miss it - thanks for a great video Melinda❤See you next week!
The Amboy Dukes album is great. The sound quality is fantastic and the guitar playing and vocals are incredible. 🔥🔥🔥 Velvet Goldmine is my favorite of the unreleased tracks as well. ❤️ Thank you and take care.
YES! Let It Be Naked would be a great choice! I would get up even earlier than I normally do for that one. I would also suggest “A Different Kind Of Truth” by Van Halen as an RSD release
Every time I watch your videos I want to use vinyl.... but my disability makes it virtually impossible. (but I have bought the DSOTM clear vinyl LP anyhow 🤦🏼♂😂😂😂😂😂)
Definitely recommend it, just got Hergest Rige demo vinyl at RSD, really good but if you like Mike Oldfield, look out for Return to Ommadawn, excellent, put it on n close your eyes and drift .
I live in Louisville, and a few months ago I went to Bowling Green for a visit and stopped by Hard Copies and picked up a Jimmy Smith Blue note. Petty cool record store.
The Bowie does sound incredible. Parlaphone have been doing half speed masters from ziggy up to diamond dogs. The aladdin sane in particular sounds incredible.
Yeah, that Let It Be would've been awesome! The 3 inch thing is a cool novelty, but it's not really something I'm interested in. Awesome for the people that do like the 3 inch stuff though!
Hey Melinda, my ladyfriend and I totally scored on RSD! She was so worried about not getting the Beatles turntable set since our appt time was set at 10:40 am and the store opened at 8 am. She got it, and Elton John's Caribou, and she was thrilled! I picked up the two Cannonball Adderley's, Yusef Lateef, David Bowie, Snarky Puppy, and Jim Croce. Im going to get Chet Baker and Nancy Sinatra in thr next day or two. I had a blast chatting with fellow vinyl lovers and mentioning to them that they should be watching your channel!❤❤Thanks again and hope all is well!😊
Oh wow! You did have an awesome day. I'm glad she got the turntable. They must have had several of them. ♥️ I hope you have been enjoying your new finds. Take care.
You are the first person besides myself, who I have seen show Amboy Dukes. I always go to RSD but I’ve yet to get there early. Yes! I totally think they should have released Let It Be Naked. That vinyl for DSOTM looks extremely cool. Glad you got a nice copy of Tubular Bells. Very cool RSD recap Melinda. Thanks for the video and have a wonderful week!
I haven't seen anybody else show Amboy Dukes either. They are missing out on a killer album. 🤗❤️ The closest record store is an hour and a half away and as a woman, I don't feel safe getting up and driving in the middle of the night. So far, I have never missed out on something that I couldn't get later on. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your week. ❤️🤗
I got there at 3 am and hung with same people i did last year. They were first 5 in line and brought the 87 Vw hippy camping van with pop up top tent sleeping area with fridge, stove and record player and all. I was 6th in line. By the time store opened it was about 100 or so people in line. I got the 2 i wanted. The Orca Soundtrack by Morricone and the Lost in Translation Soundtrack. I went that early because they only got 2 of the Orca.
The opening and closing themes to the Orca soundtrack are some of the best music melodies/ orchestration from any soundtrack I've ever heard... it's mind blowing how incredible it is!!!
I would perfer the mini record player. I like the way the original Let It Be sounds better than Naked. I have 2 mini record players. I do some work with kids and I use them to show how DJs used to play music in the days before the MP3.
Great video as always Melinda! I love how you told the story how you went to Hard Copies since you were a child. It brought back great memories for me when I went to World Records in my home town of Albany, NY. They had everything! They were the nicest guys and always gave me cool rock posters for my room. Unfortunately that store is no longer around. But I always think of the great times there. Hope all is well with you and family Melinda! Keep rocking like always! 😃♥🤘🤘
It is sad to lose our record stores. 🥲 The memories are always there. The owner of Hard Copies is a good friend and I'm so glad he is successful in his new location. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
About the Bowie: The Bowie estate owns the albums that used to be on RCA and licenses them to Parlophone/Warners. The label design replacing the label logo "RCA" with the stylized name "Bowie" was the decision of those who put together this compilation, which is basically a version of Ziggy Stardust that didn't make the cut. The songs that were not on Ziggy have been released elsewhere, and the versions of the songs from Ziggy are the same as the original album. Hard pass for me, I prefer the original. Nice that you enjoyed it, though.
On my podcast we were discussing how many Dark Side albums does a person need. lol. Yes I bought it and now all these other classic rock group can do this same thing with their albums and charge you for two, just you wait and see. I have no understanding on the Beatles 3”, would you actually listen to that over a record? Another open door for more RSD 3” releases. I did just trade in my OG of that Amboy Dukes album. Always a pleasure to hang out with you Melinda. All the stuff should be arriving this weekend. I have never seen the Exorcist, I just can’t watch demon possession movies, nope, can’t do it
Yes, we will see more releases like Dark Side and the 3" singles. Lol. I think most people will just display the little turntable and records. I doubt they get played a lot. The takeaway from The Exorcist is that good defeated evil. I couldn't have watched it when I was young. It would have been too much. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️
Great finds , Melinda David Bowie album I wish I would’ve found that one and I couldn’t agree with you more on the Beatles. Let it be naked album I have that album and honestly it is the best sounding Beatles album in my collection. I don’t have a huge Beatles collection, but nonetheless, it sounds amazing. Thank you Melinda!!!
I hope you will find the Bowie album. It's a great companion album to Ziggy Stardust. You did score some great albums though. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
Hi Melinda... Future Beatles record store day releases would be good if they reissued The Beatles Yesterday and Today with the Butcher cover and the original "Dexterisation", or A Collection of Beatles Oldies but Goldies
I was hoping you would get that Beatles turntable. I found the record I wanted online which was the bottle rockets the Brooklyn side which has never been on vinyl and was too hard to find years ago. I had borrowed a friend’s cd so I remember it but it has been years since I heard it and I’m looking forward to getting it soon. I have last year’s rsd by them too. That Pink Floyd sure looks cool. I kinda wanted that Eric Carr box but I saved my money instead. Thanks Melinda. God Bless You and Your Family.❤
I agree that the 3 inch Beatles record was a money grab. For me, as a Beatles' fan, it is a glorified toy and it was missing THE first song the Beatles performed that night on Ed Sullivan (All My Loving) which makes no sense to me. I also felt the George Harrison picture discs were a money grab too and wanted no part of it on George's two least loved albums. Was happy to get the John Lennon EP and the Ringo EP (new material for him - which recently he has been producing some pretty sound pop songs lately). Thank you for your words on Dark Side of the Moon - I was drawn to the pretty artwork on the record but think I am wise to save my money (as I have the 30th anniversary pressing and many others). With regards to Naked...for one who bought it when it was released, it was a disappointment for me. I think a reissue is definitely overdue, but so is the Anthology sets on record. I would bite on a second pressing of "Naked" (especially with the Let it Be movie coming to Disney + next month). And I did snag the Bowie too - have yet to open it lol Hoping you are well, my friend! :)
The Beatles turntable was a very popular item that a lot of people were happy to buy but I think Let It Be Naked would have been a better choice. I also prefer the Spector mixes but it's nice to have both versions. The Bowie release is so good. I hope you enjoy it too. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
The store I went to had only 30 Lps left over from RSD the day after. They were a few more $$ over comps, but not as much as all the high prices online. So I bought nothing RSD, just a Smiths LP Reissue. Someone found a decent DSOTM copy at a Goodwill and I found an empty cover. I happened to find the record in another part of the store and spent only $1.29 last year.
Hi Melinda ! William Friedkin who Directed The Exorcist is my favorite Director & I prefer The French Connection , To Live & Die In LA & Sorcerer over it. Tangerine 🍊 Dream do an excellent soundtrack to Sorcerer a remake of a French film The Wages Of Fear. RSD was great & stores were busy ! So happy for the independent retailers 😊
I'll have to check out more of Friedkin's work. The Exorcist must have been extremely disturbing in its time. The storyline is still frightening. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
I had noticed the 50th anniversary Dark Side, but hadn't paid any attention as to what it was. Looks nice, especially the poster. Imo Let It Be....Naked would've been better. Those singles seem like a gimmick more than anything worth while. I just listened to Tubular Bells a couple of weeks ago. It's a great record, so many details to get into. I have my rsd video up if you would like to watch it. Pasi
I will definitely check out your video. The 50th anniversary Dark Side sounds good with great packaging. The poster is very cool. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
I've got a 70s Japanese LP of DSotM, and an SACD with the 5.1 mix, I'm good with that album! Tired of seeing the same old warhorses get rehashed over and over again when other deserving titles are neglected or released in substandard copies.
Hi friend. I totally agree about Naked. Would love to see a new release of the vinyl. I have it on a CD but I want it on vinyl. Wahhhhh. I have the 30th anniversary of DSOTM, but still got the new version because I have no restraint. I did pick up on RSD: Caribou, Bowie, Foghat, Talking Heads, G Love, Television, Chris Isaac, Cranberries, and Poppin’ in Paris the next day on line from In Groove. And yes, I settled for the Beatles box, even though I probably won’t open it. Again, no self control (like the Eddie Money song). Thanks for the video.
This RSD was a first for me, for the past ten years or so, I’ve had my go to store, as I mentioned previously my store closed after 40 years, earlier this year. Loved that store, was guaranteed to get anything I wanted for RSD. I think there were only maybe four titles that I couldn’t get since RSD started. So I had to go elsewhere. I went to another store, got up early, had to stand in line (even an hour after they opened) but they didn’t have anything I was looking for. So I was watching the Toad Hall live stream and tried my chances there. At about 3 in the afternoon I was able to get thru on the phone and got my order placed. So that was good, but I found my old record store REALLY spoiled me for other stores. As for Tubular Bells, I have this, got it a few years ago for $3. I wasn’t impressed after the first spin, in fact it’s in my trade pile now. I think I should maybe give it another shot before I trade or sell it off!!
I was spoiled when I had a record store where I lived. It was inside a mall which meant on those cold nights, we were able to wait inside the warm mall. 🥰 Tubular Bells is a classic. That doesn't mean you have to like it. Give it another listen if you want to but if it doesn't strike you that's ok. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
Melinda...since you like Tubular Bells, I highly recommend you check out Mike's next two albums...Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn. Both are masterpieces as well.
I'm so glad you finally acquired an original copy of Tubular Bells. I have 2 originals and a reissue of the remix (not as good). As for it being associated with that movie, I don't care. I forget about that and enjoy the album on its own merit. It's one of the greatest albums of all time. Enjoy!
Hi Melinda! I agree with your "Let It Be...Naked" comment. That is the only Beatles album that I do not own on vinyl and I'm patiently waiting for a reissue. I refuse to pay $200 for a copy on eBay. Did Capitol ever release a vinyl edition in the USA? All of the ones I'm aware of are imports. On RSD, I picked up John Lennon's Mind Games EP in glow-in-the-dark vinyl, Ringo's Crooked Boy in B&W marble vinyl, George Harrison's Wonderwall and Electronic Sound picture discs; and The Doors live in Konserthuset, Stockholm on blue vinyl. Oh, and Ommadawn is another good Mike Oldfield album.
I don't think Capital ever released Let It Be Naked. The originals are way too expensive. You picked up some great records including The Doors. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
The Beatles thing is just dumb in my opinion. A pure money grab for those afflicted with the Beatle's disease. I picked up The Rolling Stones, Collective Soul, Bill Evans, Elton John, Talking Heads, Pearl Jam, The Who, Charles Mingus, UB40, & Chet Baker. The Chris Isaak was the only one I did not get I wanted. The Talking Heads and Elton John sound amazing.
I regret not being able to get the Elton John record. I also would have loved to have had the Chris Isaak one but that's ok. I'm so glad you got so many great albums. That Rolling Stones record was also very tempting. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
Terrific video, Melinda! If I may make an unsolicited recommendation? The AP Atlantic 75 double 45 RPM of Abandoned Luncheonette by Hall and Oates sounds phenomenal. Many of my friends and I agree it's equal to just about any UHQR or MFSL One Step we've ever heard. "She's Gone" sounds so live, I'm convinced my girlfriend actually just left me even though she's sitting right beside me. You won't be disappointed! :-)
Not many RSD finds for me. I’m not impressed with the quality of the pressings. Lacklustre I prefer Analogue Productions. They usually knock it out of the park.
I understand. There is a risk with RSD pressings. I have had a couple of lemons in the past as well. Analog Productions is a great company. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
In case you are wondering, Tinted Windows, who originally released this lone album in 2009, consisted of Bun E Carlos (drums, Cheap Trick), James Iha (guitar, Smashing Pumpkins), the late Adam Schesinger (bass, Fountains of Wayne & Ivy) & Taylor Hanson (lead vocals, yes him from Hanson), superb classic, timeless, catchy as hell powerpop, still fresh as a daisy, and this red & black split coloured vinyl for RSD has 2 bonus tracks, so a must buy for me, i saw my local Newbury Comics had like 5 copies on Saturday afternoon, so I'm sure there will be some left...
Oh cool. I didn't know that. Some of the releases were so creative and well thought out. They really are releases we wouldn't get at any other time. Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. Take care. ♥️🤗
If you really want to go back in time & listen to an lp in ANALOG format from that era then, buy the original lp. BEST EVER!!! Why buy any re-released lp today? That is insane. Recycled music to make more money again in 2024. Today for the most part lp`s are digitaly recorded in a DDD format. While the same album can be found in the same format for a lot less money on a CD with a better sound quality. Your choice. Stop giving your money for nothing!!!
I went into RSD thinking I would only get 1 or two releases. But like usual after shopping on Saturday and then again Sunday $300 on Amboy Dukes Dr John Ramones Talking Heads Bill Evans Todd Electrafiction Doors n ordered Gene Clark. Urghhhhhhh!
I understand completely. It's easy to overspend but you did pick up some great titles that you may not have the optim to buy later. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️
I'm no Beatles fan, but...yeah...Naked would have been tons better than all the gimmicky bs...imo. When I collected records, all I cared about-with one exception-was the music and sound quality. Never cared for colored vinyl, posters, any of the marketing distractions. I guess I made my life easier. Dark Side & Tubular Bells...hell, yeah...great stuff. Tubular has been remastered over the years but the first is still the best to my ears.
I'm so glad to have Tubular Bells now. It's a fantastic record. The little turntable is very cute but Let It Be Naked would have been a solid choice. I hope they consider it someday. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️
As always, a thrill to watch! Having just written a book about progressive rock, I welcomed your comments on Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield! Thanks for your opinions: they are always a "no nonsense, much fun" option! I agree with your comments on the 30th anniv edition of Pink Floyd's DSOTM. I found a sealed copy of it at a local thrift store for $2.99 and couldn't believe my eyes! Needless to say, it came home with me and has been by my side since.
My RSD finds. I picked up John Lennon Mind Games Release which is a glow in the Dark Vinyl, David Bowie EP The Next Day Extra, A Yardbirds Five Live LP in Red Vinyl that has live performances from 1964 that has never been rereleased and available until now
Hi Melinda, thank you for your posts; I really enjoy them. I would like to make a suggestion for you to consider: Have you considered listening to some Adult Alternative Rock? Thanks to my wife’s musical taste, I have learned about artists like John Hiatt, Crowded House, Cheryl Wheeler, Josh Rouse and some of the more recent albums by singer/songwriter Nick Lowe. If you Google Adult Alternative Rock, you see the names of many more artists to discover, ❤you can always check them out by streaming or by finding their music on TH-cam. Just a thought. Keep enjoying the music, and have a great day!
Hello, like your Beatles suggestion. Bought two albums on RSD. One was the new Neil Young with Horse. All old songs with totally new titles!! Have any artist made such things before...takecare....
I agree with you about Let It Be... Naked. That album should have stayed in print or at least get a re-issue. It would have been perfect as an RSD 2024 release, a few weeks before the original Let It Be movie cleaned up by Peter Jackson's team debuts on Disney+. A missed perfect tie-in. Are you reading this Apple Corps.?
Ok.Agree with you about The Beatles record,but I suggest Apple marketing are holding it for a future splash.Really happy you got Tubular Bells.I think it's a great stand alone record and MO should have moved to other projects and not spent 10 years trying to follow TB.Really nice the've reproduced the original cover and label.Commonly thought this established Virgin Rrcords as a viable label.The guy who announces is Viv Stanshall,a great Britih eccentric and buddy of Keith Moon.
Tubular Bells was an incredible success and I could only imagine the pressure Mike Oldfield must have felt. I hope you're right about Let It Be Naked. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Its great to see The Beatles are back in Record Store Day since 2011 maybe with the new Let It Be out this May on Disney + there could be possibillities for a Naked mix I would like to see the original Beatles Capitol U.S. albums LP box set out for a release its been ten years now since the CD box set was released now its time for a Vinyl box set along with the Yesterday and Today Butcher cover it took Abkco 34 years to finally put out two Rolling Stones Singles 7 inch box sets of their London and Decca years a better choice than Abkco's 1989 The Rolling Stones Singles Collection The London Years Capitol Records did one time released 200 limited copies of the Butcher cover in 1976 for the 10th anniversary of Yesterday and Today ''' so anything for Record Store Day is possible take care .
You never know. If they think they can make some money, they will do it. 😀 I do think there is a demand for a reissue of Let It Be Naked. I hope it happens. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
The Beatles 3” tracks should have been the actual Ed Sullivan performances, not the studio recordings. Universal continues to be the most expensive of the majors, offering the least value for the money. The Mind Games EP is one of tbe Get-It-Or-Regret-It titles, and flippers have getting triple the original price for the glow-in- the-dark edition.
The Sullivan performances would have been unique. ♥️ I didn't see how much the John Lennon release was. The glow in the dark version is pretty cool. Thank you and take care.
I got Nat King Cole live at the Blue Note, The Vince Guaraldi Its a Short Summer Charlie Brown, Chet Baker & Jack Sheldon, Black Girl soundtrack, and picked up a variant Taylor Swift vinyl to surprise my daughter
Naked would have been a much better choice. I was poor when it came out and I happened upon a used copy on CD. I listen to it more than any other Beatles save Beatles 65 which is still my favorite. Let It Be-Naked is a great way to see how they built on earlier takes to improve or change them to their liking. Phil Spector's stamp on it changed it from a Beatles album to a "Wall Of Sound" album and a big and not always good step away from George Martin's work with the fab 4. Do you own a copy of Avalon - Roxy Music? That would be my number one recommendation if you don't. It's their masterpiece!
I do have Avalon. It's a terrific record and the sound quality is wonderful. 🤗❤️ I hope LIBN does get a reissue regardless of RSD. It's a big want for so many Beatles fans. Thank you and take care.
I've played that DSOTM "picture disc" and it sounds very good indeed (its so quiet!), I also have the 30th version and it compares very favourably - really not that much in it played on my modest equipment. Its a beautiful record too and every PF fan should get one while they can. And as you say it a good intro for someone who doesn't own any DSOTM on vinyl. I paid about £65 and its a good investment, I predict it being in 3 figures in a couple of years - not that I buy to sell or make money. A bit off topic now, but I'd like to get your take on Taylor Swift's new album one day.
The new Dark Side is pretty good. I wasn't disappointed and the records are gorgeous. The 30th anniversary version is still my favorite but this is a good way to go. If I listen to the new Taylor Swift record, I will share my thoughts. So far, the reviews are a little mixed. Thank you and take care.
Limited release of anything Beatles related is a bad idea because of the power of their brand. I’d rather the cock-a-mamie cheesy concepts like the 3” discs with the little player be the RSD release than something actually worth getting, like an actual LP. An LP release would be gobbled up quickly then flipped onto eBay immediately and be for hundreds of dollars. RSD is better for less popular, more obscure albums, but are still interesting. The Howlin Wolf and various jazz albums this year were nice and I wouldn’t mind having, if I were able to buy it.
I have a question. My personal preference for Dark Side of the Moon is the A3 B3 pressing. It sounds incredible and I'm so happy I own one. However I'm looking for a secondary copy so my A3-B3 doesn't deteriorate as quickly. Would you recommend this version as a good one to own on the side? :)
This copy would be nice and it has special packaging. It won't sound as good as what you have but as a copy you can play while moving around the house, this will work very well. If money isn't an issue, I would go for the 30th anniversary version. Thank you and take care.
I was surprised when you mentioned that you never had Tubular Bells in your collection, up until now! I have an original copy, and also a 50th Anniversary copy that I special ordered. Tubular Bells is an absolute musical masterpiece in my opinion. You are now officially a member of the owner’s club now! I do hope you enjoy it! Regarding your comments on Record Store Day Fail, I am with you 100%. As always, your video presentation here was excellent! Your kind and caring personality always shine through, and that carries well with all of your viewers! Melinda you’re the best! 💯
Thank you so much for the kind words. ♥️🤗 Tubular Bells is usually one of the first albums people add to their collection. Lol. For some reason, that album alluded me. It was worth the wait. 🤗 Thank you and take care.
I thought it was a big turn-out this RSD (though I sat it out). However, I'm more excited about an Elemental label release next month (that I discovered from Mazzy).
I didn't go out for RSD this time, had to work late morning and wanted to sleep in. My record store I normally go to for RSD will put left over titles online at noon the following day. I was able to snag the last copy of the Amboy Dukes album and I agree it sound great. I also have, from a preorder, the Pink Floyd DSOTM 50th.
My record store didn't even know who the Amboy Dukes were,they didn't have anything I wanted and when I asked was told not an RSD release but a First Release so they didn't carry it. Felt like saying Dude that's what RSD is supposed to be all about. It was so frustrating. Next year I'll check out a different brick and mortar.
I am not a fan of "Let It Be: Naked". To me it's nothing more than McCartney's self-indulgence. To my ears Phil Spector made a silk purse out of a sow's ear. He was presented with a challenge to make something release quality out of miles of recording tape. The songs had an unfinished feel to them, most borderline rehearsal versions. Spector was able to enhance these recordings with nice orchestration and embellishments the songs so desperately needed. "Let It Be: Naked" sounds like the songs are empty and in need of sweetening. Just like they did before Spector improved them. Additionally McCartney mixed his bass parts up several notches so most of the songs are bass heavy.
Best "new" Beatles record would be a 12" collection of all the fan club singles, Happy Christmas singles, etc that the Beatles recorded in the early days for the Beatles fan club. These are mostly forgotten but are very funny and interesting and Beatles fans and collectors would scoop that up by the 10s of thousands, or more. Melinda I bet you don't even know what I'm talking about.
I had a bootleg album of those 45's on red vinyl. It is a lot of fun. There was a nice box set that got released many years ago. The cool ones to have are the original fan club versions. 🤗❤️🔥 Thank you and take care.
hi melinda, glad you had success at RSD. I didnt get what i really wanted (Death cab for cutie Live @ showbox) but while i was shopping i was thinking should i just buy some of these pressings that i see that i know will be gone and going for 2x 3x or more on the secondary market. In the end i did not decide to buy or flip and i was almost dissapointed at myself for even thinking to do so. Its a touchy subject for sure (flipping) anyway enjoy your video as always and as always the curls are on point! Cheers. Brian in NC
I understand! It would be a tempting way to make a few dollars and pay for your hobby. I haven't done it but I do understand why others do. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
I went to one store on RSD. I didn’t see the record I wanted so I didn’t buy anything. But I did buy two records from Walmart and ordered two records online past weekend.
I didn’t go because the one song I wanted was the number one pick for everybody this year. The Noah Kahan Olivia Rodrigo Stick Season 45rpm record and I didn’t feel like standing out in the cold for 5 hours before the store opened to get one of the 5 45’s the store had. I did want the Elton John Caribou..but, so did everyone else.
Have to admit I don't get the hype about Tubular Bells. Listened to it once and was so bored I almost stopped playing it before it was over - and I NEVER do that. I kinda felt the same way about Ziggy Stardust, to be honest - though I do need to revisit it before I come to a final judgment about it. Lol
I grabbed a Morrissey 12” I wanted and a Sonic Youth one release, I’m actually getting a bit fed up with it and particularly the pricing - it seems they make the prices up as they go along!
Don’t be mad at me, but I don’t do record day anymore. I will go if the records that are being displayed our better sound quality, Atmos versions or albums/CDs with bonus tracks and rare mixes. I really don’t need the same albums over and over again, but only in colored vinyl or splatter vomitstyle vinyl. I don’t need it. I don’t want it.
Yes! Let It Be Naked would be an awesome RSD release. And now with the Get Back Doc Series from 2 years ago and the Let It Be movie coming. Maybe for RSD Black Friday... But maybe with a little twist, by including the coda to the Get Back song and expanding the miserable 20 minutes of the second disc. Great idea Melinda!
The 20 minute 2nd CD on LIBN was the equivalent of the bonus "Fly On The Wall" single /EP that came with the LP and that ran at 33. Not too dissimilar to what they did with the 12" EP equivalent on the remixed Let It Be CD box. They could have included those 4 tracks onto another disc instead. Actually the 'Fly' contents could have been put at the end of the main LIBN CD too.
I had my sights set on the Let It Be Naked vinyl, until I randomly stumbled upon a minty CD copy of it at Goodwill, at which time I decided, if only just for now, to be content with that version of it 😎
Glad you were able to get what you were looking for. I need to check out Amboy Dukes. The Records Store Day Beatles release I thought you were going to recommend was the butcher cover version of Yesterday . . . and Today. You look good in the T-shirt.
Hey Melinda, I don't know if you have it or if anyone has recommended it yet, but if you want to give you subs a workout try There and Back by Jeff Beck.
Hi Melinda. "Let it be... Naked" would have been a 1000 times better idea than the 3" discs, which are just gimmicks. (Have had "...Naked" for some years now). "...Naked" is how the album should have been released in the first place - so much more in line with what The Beatles were trying to "Get Back" to at the time (not Spector's millions of violins etc....) .
I actually like both versions of the album very much. I agree that this is more of what The Beatles would have done. It's definitely what Paul preferred. Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. Take care. 🤗♥️
@@MelindaMurphy Thanks for your reply (yes - definitely Paul's project though George, Ringe and Yoko Ono agreed). I fully understand that w. 30k followers and +400 comments you can't reply from day-to-day. BUT it's such good style that you do it - other YT'ers could learn from this 😊
I don't get the 3" single Beatles releases. I would like to see the Ed Sullivan performances on a nice gatefold release with awesome photos and quality sound. Oh well.
To a degree i agree and disagree..... i think we all would have enjoyed let it be naked but i also know that this "installment" of the 3 inch stuff is what it is, another piece in the puzzle for collectors that started buying these novelty players and singles several rsd 's ago. I think it kind of gives the new generation a view behind the curtain when 45s were the way music was released until 33 1/3 long players became the norm. Not many other artist have 45 box sets sure the stones do and very limited other artist as well but not alot for sure. Some could say with Love closing in vegas this year that it would have been a nice reissue as well. Or anthology for that matter, beatl3 fans are foaming at the mouth for rubber soul box sets and earlier stuff too. Not to mention a REAL Magical mystery tour,( that german one that is raved about would be so awesome).i guess what i am trying to imply is there are tons of beatles stuff that requires proper re releases or releases, and id rather they gave the hokey stuff to rsd just to have content there , and save let it be naked, love, anthology and all others for stand alone releases. Not to mention sony would make more not having share revenue with other releases of the day. Therefore charging more and not getting stuck with product left over in the end. Let it be box set is extremely discounted due to not enough sold. Above all this point was proven with the red and blue box set deluxe edition in colored vinyl, it had to be repressed several times and mine was a month late and i ordered it the day it was available for pre order whilst i watch others open theirs ahead of me on you tube. The good stuff will come i just hope it isnt cheapened up by releasing it on rsd dates. Let them have the 3 inch players and singles for their nostalgia, while serious collectors like ourselves wait for the good stuff.
You make a great argument and the turntable had universal appeal because it's collectible and extremely cute. What you said does make sense to me. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
You know Melinda, although I don't really listen to much of the same music as you do or collect the same vinyl as you do, I still love watching your videos because you have such a warm, calm and welcoming feeling to the way you talk and the stories you tell, and are clearly very passionate about this stuff. I've been collecting records again only for a handful of months so far and the collection is growing much faster than I intended 😅 went from 1 to 31 records in a month and a half.
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🤗♥️ I appreciate the encouragement so much. I understand how quickly a record collection can grow. I have been there. Lol. That's part of the fun. Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. Take care.
Unfortunately I could not visit the stores in the morning on RSD. It’s kind of sad to see gougers putting the RSD editions on eBay almost the same day…
What a coincidence I was just streaming tubular bells last night and was considering getting it on vinyl. I have a multichannel version of Dark Side of the Moon on SACD that is mind blowing but I do not have a vinyl version. I love that poster. Always enjoy your reviews and suggestions take care Melinda!
I have the SACD too. I have a great collection of SACDs. Some are single layer, some are double layer. You know the ones with a regular CD 💿 or it. I should play them more. I have the Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick dual disc. It sounds wonderful.
Didn’t get anything on Recore day as I didn’t have a chance, but now you’ve got tubular bells you need for 50th anniversary edition it’s a lot more detailed and it’s half master speed
Here's some advice, don't talk about taylor swift and The Beatles in the same sentence.😂
Haha! I will try not to. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
Absolutely
May I play devils advocate and compare the fan base of the beatles back in the early 60s to the fan base of Taylor swift right now? They seem super similar to me
@rosecohen6597 Record store day 2024 had 5 Beatles releases while madonna had 0 releases. So much for taylor swift's future.😂
I'm a music fan, pretty traditional stuff, have all the usuals, full LP catalogs of Zep, Beatles, Who, Stones, Floyd, Steely Dan, Clapton, Cream, Weezer, Purple, Bowie, Reed and on and on. Plus jazz, Sinatra etc. But to be fair Taylor is something special and connects meaningfully with millions of her generation and younger. Do I listen to her, no. Do I get annoyed by her, no. I appreciate her talent and she means a lot and is important to my daughter, a young adult and I know how she connects to her. Nice to see.
Nice group of RSD pick ups, and the Pink Floyd 50th anniversary reissues look very cool. RSD this year was a blast, so much fun watching our hobby grow. Thanks as always for sharing, have a great week!
I got a late start but I enjoyed RSD as well. ❤️🤗 Thank you Mike!
Great call on a reissue of Let It Be Naked - one of my favorite Beatles releases for sure. And on Discogs - 6,000 have it and 2,800 people want it, making it one of the most-wanted Beatles album on Discogs, even over any of the 2012 Beatles Mono pressings.
It would be such a no-brainer. That would be a great RSD release. Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. Take care.
Ooo Tubular Bells - side 1 is 25 mins of perfection- all together now “grand piano” “slightly distorted guitar” “mandolin!” Etc good old viv stanshall
I agree! A beautiful listen. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
viv uncut s few months ago hsd a good interview
I totally agree with you on the Bowie RSD. I already have the naked Beatles vinyl, I want the Butcher Cover as a RSD reissue with a good quality pic of Butcher Cover.
A version of the butcher cover would be a cool release. 🤗❤️ They should do both. Thank you and take care.
Wow, after a morning of watching some negative YT videos this one was such a breath of sunshine! It was so nice seeing you enthusiastic and smiling and show and telling your haul. Keep the positive vibes coming! Love ya, Melinda! -Glen
Wow! Thank you very much. 🤗❤️ I appreciate the encouragement. Have a great day!
Cool. You’re in KY too. I’m from the Henderson area.
We are very close to each other. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
She’s bought records from a store I frequent…McKay’s in Nashville, at least I assume Nashville because there are others and a new one opening somewhere.
Really great pick ups! I ended up getting the Bowie record and the Ramones. Unfortunately my local store did not get very much inventory. But it was still a great RSD.
I'm glad you were able to get two of your top picks. The Bowie album is great. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
The Bowie RSD relesease
was a disappointment to me.
I was expecting demo versions
from the Spiders from Mars album. (or at least different versions of the songs) … Seems like a Bowie estate cash grab.
I wasn't sure if the songs were going to be alternate takes but I did enjoy the songs that aren't on the album. It was great to hear something new. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
Rachel ghost channel just bought let it be naked for over 200 dollars. Keep talking about this and they will release lp again. I heard this at the daily three hour plus livestreams❤
Oh wow! Rachel has been wanting that record for a long time. That's wonderful. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
I agree with you on The Beatles LET IT BE...NAKED. It is the perfect time with Disney+ about to re-release LET IT BE documentary next month. I'd also like to see a release of GET BACK (THE ROOFTOP PERFORMANCE) which The Beatles placed on streaming services last year but have not released a physical copy (yet?).
I wish they would reissue Let It Be Naked. It would be a huge seller and you're right, now is the time. Thank you and take care.
Great stuff! But I'm with Michael Fremer that vinyl doesn't wear if it's kept clean and played on light tracking cartridges and played properly! These things are tuff heirlooms! I've bought quite a few old records I'm sure were played on changers over and over and still sound "decent"! I've seen your equipment, you have nothing to worry about with wear! 😊
You're probably right. My stylus shouldn't hurt a record. I do enjoy playing different versions although I will probably never wear one copy out. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
Nice to hear you took your time to get to RSD and still got two releases! I admit I haven’t heard dark side to the moon, that anniversary record looks awesome. great record review, can’t believe you film this all in one take!!
Thank you very much. My husband helps me edit my videos so I try to keep things simple. I do have to edit sometimes. Lol.
I highly recommend that you give Dark Side a listen. ❤️ Thank you and take care.
I would have been standing in line in the cold for a chance to get Let It Be Naked. "I've Got a Feeling" has moved up my list in recent years of best Beatles songs. Paul has done it on his last two American tours.
Yes, I think Let It Be Naked would be a huge success. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
So glad you bought The Amboy Dukes "Journey To The Centre Of Your Mind" it is the quintessential psychedelic LP of the Swingin' 60's - crank it up and let's Do The Swirl...haha - My brother got me The Bowie Collection which is fantastic "Velvet Goldmine' is my new favorite Bowie song...what a music master he was - The Dark Side Of The Moon was pricey so I passed on it and having heard every other version I could live without it - I'm so glad you were able to participate in RSD at a record store I really miss it - thanks for a great video Melinda❤See you next week!
The Amboy Dukes album is great. The sound quality is fantastic and the guitar playing and vocals are incredible. 🔥🔥🔥
Velvet Goldmine is my favorite of the unreleased tracks as well. ❤️ Thank you and take care.
YES! Let It Be Naked would be a great choice! I would get up even earlier than I normally do for that one. I would also suggest “A Different Kind Of Truth” by Van Halen as an RSD release
Both would be fantastic RSD releases. 🔥 Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. 🤗♥️
Every time I watch your videos I want to use vinyl.... but my disability makes it virtually impossible. (but I have bought the DSOTM clear vinyl LP anyhow 🤦🏼♂😂😂😂😂😂)
The 20th anniversary version is THE best
It's beautiful if only just to look at. 🤗❤️ Thank you for the kind words. Take care.
@@MelindaMurphy But you MUST get 'DSOTM: Live at Wembley'.
Try 50th Anniversary of Tubular Bells, recommended 👌
Thank you for the recommendation. I was wondering if it was a good pressing. 🤗❤️
Definitely recommend it, just got Hergest Rige demo vinyl at RSD, really good but if you like Mike Oldfield, look out for Return to Ommadawn, excellent, put it on n close your eyes and drift .
I live in Louisville, and a few months ago I went to Bowling Green for a visit and stopped by Hard Copies and picked up a Jimmy Smith Blue note. Petty cool record store.
Very cool! The t-shirt selection is extremely impressive and Doug, the owner, is so nice. 🤗♥️ Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response.
The Bowie does sound incredible. Parlaphone have been doing half speed masters from ziggy up to diamond dogs. The aladdin sane in particular sounds incredible.
I'm extremely happy with this release. ❤️🔥 Thank you and take care.
Yeah, that Let It Be would've been awesome! The 3 inch thing is a cool novelty, but it's not really something I'm interested in. Awesome for the people that do like the 3 inch stuff though!
Let It Be Naked would be a huge RSD release. We could all hope. 🥰 Thank you and take care.
Yeah 3" ain't satisfying anyone.
Hey Melinda, my ladyfriend and I totally scored on RSD! She was so worried about not getting the Beatles turntable set since our appt time was set at 10:40 am and the store opened at 8 am. She got it, and Elton John's Caribou, and she was thrilled! I picked up the two Cannonball Adderley's, Yusef Lateef, David Bowie, Snarky Puppy, and Jim Croce. Im going to get Chet Baker and Nancy Sinatra in thr next day or two. I had a blast chatting with fellow vinyl lovers and mentioning to them that they should be watching your channel!❤❤Thanks again and hope all is well!😊
Oh wow! You did have an awesome day. I'm glad she got the turntable. They must have had several of them. ♥️ I hope you have been enjoying your new finds. Take care.
The whole Album is available in TH-cam.
You are the first person besides myself, who I have seen show Amboy Dukes. I always go to RSD but I’ve yet to get there early. Yes! I totally think they should have released Let It Be Naked. That vinyl for DSOTM looks extremely cool. Glad you got a nice copy of Tubular Bells. Very cool RSD recap Melinda. Thanks for the video and have a wonderful week!
I haven't seen anybody else show Amboy Dukes either. They are missing out on a killer album. 🤗❤️ The closest record store is an hour and a half away and as a woman, I don't feel safe getting up and driving in the middle of the night. So far, I have never missed out on something that I couldn't get later on. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your week. ❤️🤗
I got there at 3 am and hung with same people i did last year. They were first 5 in line and brought the 87 Vw hippy camping van with pop up top tent sleeping area with fridge, stove and record player and all. I was 6th in line. By the time store opened it was about 100 or so people in line. I got the 2 i wanted. The Orca Soundtrack by Morricone and the Lost in Translation Soundtrack. I went that early because they only got 2 of the Orca.
Oh wow! It sounds like you made the most out of it. Very cool. I'm glad you were able to get what you wanted. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
The opening and closing themes to the Orca soundtrack are some of the best music melodies/ orchestration from any soundtrack I've ever heard... it's mind blowing how incredible it is!!!
Solo Beatles always been my favorites❤
I enjoy their solo work too, especially Paul. Thank you and take care.
I would perfer the mini record player. I like the way the original Let It Be sounds better than Naked. I have 2 mini record players. I do some work with kids and I use them to show how DJs used to play music in the days before the MP3.
Great video as always Melinda! I love how you told the story how you went to Hard Copies since you were a child. It brought back great memories for me when I went to World Records in my home town of Albany, NY. They had everything! They were the nicest guys and always gave me cool rock posters for my room. Unfortunately that store is no longer around. But I always think of the great times there. Hope all is well with you and family Melinda! Keep rocking like always! 😃♥🤘🤘
It is sad to lose our record stores. 🥲 The memories are always there. The owner of Hard Copies is a good friend and I'm so glad he is successful in his new location. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
@@MelindaMurphy That is so awesome he still has his business. Hope you and family are having a great weekend! 😃♥
Really great video, Melinda, as usual…I really enjoy these.
Thank you very much! ❤️🤗
I love the Book of Love version of Tubular Bells. I have a 14 minute version of it. Very good version.
About the Bowie: The Bowie estate owns the albums that used to be on RCA and licenses them to Parlophone/Warners. The label design replacing the label logo "RCA" with the stylized name "Bowie" was the decision of those who put together this compilation, which is basically a version of Ziggy Stardust that didn't make the cut. The songs that were not on Ziggy have been released elsewhere, and the versions of the songs from Ziggy are the same as the original album. Hard pass for me, I prefer the original. Nice that you enjoyed it, though.
Nothing can beat the original. This makes a nice companion piece though. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
On my podcast we were discussing how many Dark Side albums does a person need. lol. Yes I bought it and now all these other classic rock group can do this same thing with their albums and charge you for two, just you wait and see. I have no understanding on the Beatles 3”, would you actually listen to that over a record? Another open door for more RSD 3” releases. I did just trade in my OG of that Amboy Dukes album. Always a pleasure to hang out with you Melinda. All the stuff should be arriving this weekend. I have never seen the Exorcist, I just can’t watch demon possession movies, nope, can’t do it
Yes, we will see more releases like Dark Side and the 3" singles. Lol. I think most people will just display the little turntable and records. I doubt they get played a lot.
The takeaway from The Exorcist is that good defeated evil. I couldn't have watched it when I was young. It would have been too much. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️
Great finds , Melinda David Bowie album I wish I would’ve found that one and I couldn’t agree with you more on the Beatles. Let it be naked album I have that album and honestly it is the best sounding Beatles album in my collection. I don’t have a huge Beatles collection, but nonetheless, it sounds amazing. Thank you Melinda!!!
I hope you will find the Bowie album. It's a great companion album to Ziggy Stardust. You did score some great albums though. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
Glad you got some titles you wanted....(cool shirt!) Thanks for the shout out
Thank you Harry. I'm glad you got the Beatles turntable. It's so cute and will look great on display. ❤️🤗 Take care.
Your Beatles story is a lot like Morrissey: "You Are the Quarry" which would be a magical release!
That would be nice! 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
Hi Melinda... Future Beatles record store day releases would be good if they reissued The Beatles Yesterday and Today with the Butcher cover and the original "Dexterisation", or A Collection of Beatles Oldies but Goldies
That would be a cool release. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Let It Be Naked? Yeah, no. RSD release or otherwise, I personally have no interest in it. Of course, I had no interest in 3" record players either. 😂
Fair enough. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
I was hoping you would get that Beatles turntable. I found the record I wanted online which was the bottle rockets the Brooklyn side which has never been on vinyl and was too hard to find years ago. I had borrowed a friend’s cd so I remember it but it has been years since I heard it and I’m looking forward to getting it soon.
I have last year’s rsd by them too.
That Pink Floyd sure looks cool.
I kinda wanted that Eric Carr box but I saved my money instead.
Thanks Melinda. God Bless You and Your Family.❤
I didn't need that Beatles turntable but if there was one left when I got there, I would have bought it. Lol. Thank you and Gold bless you. 🤗❤️
I agree that the 3 inch Beatles record was a money grab. For me, as a Beatles' fan, it is a glorified toy and it was missing THE first song the Beatles performed that night on Ed Sullivan (All My Loving) which makes no sense to me. I also felt the George Harrison picture discs were a money grab too and wanted no part of it on George's two least loved albums. Was happy to get the John Lennon EP and the Ringo EP (new material for him - which recently he has been producing some pretty sound pop songs lately). Thank you for your words on Dark Side of the Moon - I was drawn to the pretty artwork on the record but think I am wise to save my money (as I have the 30th anniversary pressing and many others).
With regards to Naked...for one who bought it when it was released, it was a disappointment for me. I think a reissue is definitely overdue, but so is the Anthology sets on record. I would bite on a second pressing of "Naked" (especially with the Let it Be movie coming to Disney + next month).
And I did snag the Bowie too - have yet to open it lol
Hoping you are well, my friend! :)
The Beatles turntable was a very popular item that a lot of people were happy to buy but I think Let It Be Naked would have been a better choice. I also prefer the Spector mixes but it's nice to have both versions.
The Bowie release is so good. I hope you enjoy it too. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
The store I went to had only 30 Lps left over from RSD the day after. They were a few more $$ over comps, but not as much as all the high prices online. So I bought nothing RSD, just a Smiths LP Reissue. Someone found a decent DSOTM copy at a Goodwill and I found an empty cover. I happened to find the record in another part of the store and spent only $1.29 last year.
Oh wow! Finding Dark Side at a Goodwill is crazy. ❤️❤️❤️ The Smith's reissue was a great purchase as well. Thank you and take care.
Hi Melinda ! William Friedkin who Directed The Exorcist is my favorite Director & I prefer The French Connection , To Live & Die In LA & Sorcerer over it. Tangerine 🍊 Dream do an excellent soundtrack to Sorcerer a remake of a French film The Wages Of Fear. RSD was great & stores were busy ! So happy for the independent retailers 😊
I'll have to check out more of Friedkin's work. The Exorcist must have been extremely disturbing in its time. The storyline is still frightening. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
I had noticed the 50th anniversary Dark Side, but hadn't paid any attention as to what it was. Looks nice, especially the poster. Imo Let It Be....Naked would've been better. Those singles seem like a gimmick more than anything worth while. I just listened to Tubular Bells a couple of weeks ago. It's a great record, so many details to get into. I have my rsd video up if you would like to watch it.
Pasi
I will definitely check out your video. The 50th anniversary Dark Side sounds good with great packaging. The poster is very cool. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
I've got a 70s Japanese LP of DSotM, and an SACD with the 5.1 mix, I'm good with that album! Tired of seeing the same old warhorses get rehashed over and over again when other deserving titles are neglected or released in substandard copies.
I agree with your point. There are so many records that need a good reissue. ♥️🤗 Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. Take care.
Hi friend. I totally agree about Naked. Would love to see a new release of the vinyl. I have it on a CD but I want it on vinyl. Wahhhhh. I have the 30th anniversary of DSOTM, but still got the new version because I have no restraint. I did pick up on RSD: Caribou, Bowie, Foghat, Talking Heads, G Love, Television, Chris Isaac, Cranberries, and Poppin’ in Paris the next day on line from In Groove.
And yes, I settled for the Beatles box, even though I probably won’t open it. Again, no self control (like the Eddie Money song). Thanks for the video.
You picked up some great RSD titles. ❤️ The Let It Be Naked record would be a huge seller. Let's hope. Thank you and take care.
This RSD was a first for me, for the past ten years or so, I’ve had my go to store, as I mentioned previously my store closed after 40 years, earlier this year. Loved that store, was guaranteed to get anything I wanted for RSD. I think there were only maybe four titles that I couldn’t get since RSD started. So I had to go elsewhere. I went to another store, got up early, had to stand in line (even an hour after they opened) but they didn’t have anything I was looking for. So I was watching the Toad Hall live stream and tried my chances there. At about 3 in the afternoon I was able to get thru on the phone and got my order placed. So that was good, but I found my old record store REALLY spoiled me for other stores.
As for Tubular Bells, I have this, got it a few years ago for $3. I wasn’t impressed after the first spin, in fact it’s in my trade pile now. I think I should maybe give it another shot before I trade or sell it off!!
I was spoiled when I had a record store where I lived. It was inside a mall which meant on those cold nights, we were able to wait inside the warm mall. 🥰
Tubular Bells is a classic. That doesn't mean you have to like it. Give it another listen if you want to but if it doesn't strike you that's ok. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
You should check out Dark Side of The Mule, recorded live in Boston, 2008. Tasty!
I love it !!
Lol. Thank you for the suggestion. Take care. ❤️🤗
Melinda...since you like Tubular Bells, I highly recommend you check out Mike's next two albums...Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn. Both are masterpieces as well.
Thank you for the recommendations. I will have to check them out. 🔥❤️ Take care.
I'm so glad you finally acquired an original copy of Tubular Bells. I have 2 originals and a reissue of the remix (not as good). As for it being associated with that movie, I don't care. I forget about that and enjoy the album on its own merit. It's one of the greatest albums of all time.
Enjoy!
The album is enjoyable regardless. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Hi Melinda! I agree with your "Let It Be...Naked" comment. That is the only Beatles album that I do not own on vinyl and I'm patiently waiting for a reissue. I refuse to pay $200 for a copy on eBay. Did Capitol ever release a vinyl edition in the USA? All of the ones I'm aware of are imports. On RSD, I picked up John Lennon's Mind Games EP in glow-in-the-dark vinyl, Ringo's Crooked Boy in B&W marble vinyl, George Harrison's Wonderwall and Electronic Sound picture discs; and The Doors live in Konserthuset, Stockholm on blue vinyl. Oh, and Ommadawn is another good Mike Oldfield album.
I don't think Capital ever released Let It Be Naked. The originals are way too expensive. You picked up some great records including The Doors. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
Enjoyed the video Melinda. Take care
Thank you very much! I'm so sorry this response is so late. Take care. ♥️🤗
The Beatles thing is just dumb in my opinion. A pure money grab for those afflicted with the Beatle's disease. I picked up The Rolling Stones, Collective Soul, Bill Evans, Elton John, Talking Heads, Pearl Jam, The Who, Charles Mingus, UB40, & Chet Baker. The Chris Isaak was the only one I did not get I wanted. The Talking Heads and Elton John sound amazing.
I regret not being able to get the Elton John record. I also would have loved to have had the Chris Isaak one but that's ok. I'm so glad you got so many great albums. That Rolling Stones record was also very tempting. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
Terrific video, Melinda! If I may make an unsolicited recommendation? The AP Atlantic 75 double 45 RPM of Abandoned Luncheonette by Hall and Oates sounds phenomenal. Many of my friends and I agree it's equal to just about any UHQR or MFSL One Step we've ever heard. "She's Gone" sounds so live, I'm convinced my girlfriend actually just left me even though she's sitting right beside me. You won't be disappointed! :-)
Oh wow! Ok, I will have to buy that. ❤️🤗 Thank you for the recommendation. Take care.
Not many RSD finds for me. I’m not impressed with the quality of the pressings. Lacklustre
I prefer Analogue Productions. They usually knock it out of the park.
I understand. There is a risk with RSD pressings. I have had a couple of lemons in the past as well. Analog Productions is a great company. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
In case you are wondering, Tinted Windows, who originally released this lone album in 2009, consisted of Bun E Carlos (drums, Cheap Trick), James Iha (guitar, Smashing Pumpkins), the late Adam Schesinger (bass, Fountains of Wayne & Ivy) & Taylor Hanson (lead vocals, yes him from Hanson), superb classic, timeless, catchy as hell powerpop, still fresh as a daisy, and this red & black split coloured vinyl for RSD has 2 bonus tracks, so a must buy for me, i saw my local Newbury Comics had like 5 copies on Saturday afternoon, so I'm sure there will be some left...
Oh cool. I didn't know that. Some of the releases were so creative and well thought out. They really are releases we wouldn't get at any other time. Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. Take care. ♥️🤗
If you really want to go back in time & listen to an lp in ANALOG format from that era then, buy the original lp. BEST EVER!!! Why buy any re-released lp today? That is insane. Recycled music to make more money again in 2024.
Today for the most part lp`s are digitaly recorded in a DDD format. While the same album can be found in the same format for a lot less money on a CD with a better sound quality. Your choice. Stop giving your money for nothing!!!
If I could find an original clean UK DSOTM, I would gladly trade my reissue. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
I went into RSD thinking I would only get 1 or two releases. But like usual after shopping on Saturday and then again Sunday $300 on Amboy Dukes Dr John Ramones Talking Heads Bill Evans Todd Electrafiction Doors n ordered Gene Clark. Urghhhhhhh!
I understand completely. It's easy to overspend but you did pick up some great titles that you may not have the optim to buy later. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️
I'm no Beatles fan, but...yeah...Naked would have been tons better than all the gimmicky bs...imo.
When I collected records, all I cared about-with one exception-was the music and sound quality.
Never cared for colored vinyl, posters, any of the marketing distractions.
I guess I made my life easier.
Dark Side & Tubular Bells...hell, yeah...great stuff.
Tubular has been remastered over the years but the first is still the best to my ears.
I'm so glad to have Tubular Bells now. It's a fantastic record.
The little turntable is very cute but Let It Be Naked would have been a solid choice. I hope they consider it someday. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️
As always, a thrill to watch! Having just written a book about progressive rock, I welcomed your comments on Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield! Thanks for your opinions: they are always a "no nonsense, much fun" option! I agree with your comments on the 30th anniv edition of Pink Floyd's DSOTM. I found a sealed copy of it at a local thrift store for $2.99 and couldn't believe my eyes! Needless to say, it came home with me and has been by my side since.
Wow! That might be the best thrift haul find of all time. 🥰 Nice! Thank you and enjoy your day.
My RSD finds. I picked up John Lennon Mind Games Release which is a glow in the Dark Vinyl, David Bowie EP The Next Day Extra, A Yardbirds Five Live LP in Red Vinyl that has live performances from 1964 that has never been rereleased and available until now
Very cool. I'm assuming the Bowie EP was from a past RSD? It's hard to go wrong with Bowie. ❤️ Thank you and take care.
Hi Melinda, thank you for your posts; I really enjoy them. I would like to make a suggestion for you to consider: Have you considered listening to some Adult Alternative Rock? Thanks to my wife’s musical taste, I have learned about artists like John Hiatt, Crowded House, Cheryl Wheeler, Josh Rouse and some of the more recent albums by singer/songwriter Nick Lowe. If you Google Adult Alternative Rock, you see the names of many more artists to discover, ❤you can always check them out by streaming or by finding their music on TH-cam. Just a thought. Keep enjoying the music, and have a great day!
That is a musical area I need to explore. I do like Crowded House and have a couple of their albums. ♥️ Thank you for the suggestion. Take care. 🤗
Hello, like your Beatles suggestion.
Bought two albums on RSD.
One was the new Neil Young with Horse. All old songs with totally new
titles!! Have any artist made such things before...takecare....
Very nice! Thank you and take care., 🤗❤️
I agree with you about Let It Be... Naked. That album should have stayed in print or at least get a re-issue. It would have been perfect as an RSD 2024 release, a few weeks before the original Let It Be movie cleaned up by Peter Jackson's team debuts on Disney+. A missed perfect tie-in. Are you reading this Apple Corps.?
I agree. It's never too late to release it. People would love to see it as an RSD release. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
Ok.Agree with you about The Beatles record,but I suggest Apple marketing are holding it for a future splash.Really happy you got Tubular Bells.I think it's a great stand alone record and MO should have moved to other projects and not spent 10 years trying to follow TB.Really nice the've reproduced the original cover and label.Commonly thought this established Virgin Rrcords as a viable label.The guy who announces is Viv Stanshall,a great Britih eccentric and buddy of Keith Moon.
Tubular Bells was an incredible success and I could only imagine the pressure Mike Oldfield must have felt.
I hope you're right about Let It Be Naked. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Its great to see The Beatles are back in Record Store Day since 2011 maybe with the new Let It Be out this May on Disney + there could be possibillities for a Naked mix I would like to see the original Beatles Capitol U.S. albums LP box set out for a release its been ten years now since the CD box set was released now its time for a Vinyl box set along with the Yesterday and Today Butcher cover it took Abkco 34 years to finally put out two Rolling Stones Singles 7 inch box sets of their London and Decca years a better choice than Abkco's 1989 The Rolling Stones Singles Collection The London Years Capitol Records did one time released 200 limited copies of the Butcher cover in 1976 for the 10th anniversary of Yesterday and Today ''' so anything for Record Store Day is possible take care .
You never know. If they think they can make some money, they will do it. 😀 I do think there is a demand for a reissue of Let It Be Naked. I hope it happens. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
The Beatles 3” tracks should have been the actual Ed Sullivan performances, not the studio recordings.
Universal continues to be the most expensive of the majors, offering the least value for the money. The Mind Games EP is one of tbe Get-It-Or-Regret-It titles, and flippers have getting triple the original price for the glow-in- the-dark edition.
The Sullivan performances would have been unique. ♥️
I didn't see how much the John Lennon release was. The glow in the dark version is pretty cool. Thank you and take care.
I never liked Pink Floyd that much. But, I do have an amazing sounding SACD of DSOTM.
It's a great sounding album. ❤️
I got Nat King Cole live at the Blue Note, The Vince Guaraldi Its a Short Summer Charlie Brown, Chet Baker & Jack Sheldon, Black Girl soundtrack, and picked up a variant Taylor Swift vinyl to surprise my daughter
Very nice pick ups. If the Nat King Cole record would have been there when I arrived, I would have bought it. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Naked would have been a much better choice. I was poor when it came out and I happened upon a used copy on CD. I listen to it more than any other Beatles save Beatles 65 which is still my favorite.
Let It Be-Naked is a great way to see how they built on earlier takes to improve or change them to their liking. Phil Spector's stamp on it changed it from a Beatles album to a "Wall Of Sound" album and a big and not always good step away from George Martin's work with the fab 4.
Do you own a copy of Avalon - Roxy Music? That would be my number one recommendation if you don't. It's their masterpiece!
I do have Avalon. It's a terrific record and the sound quality is wonderful. 🤗❤️
I hope LIBN does get a reissue regardless of RSD. It's a big want for so many Beatles fans. Thank you and take care.
I've played that DSOTM "picture disc" and it sounds very good indeed (its so quiet!), I also have the 30th version and it compares very favourably - really not that much in it played on my modest equipment. Its a beautiful record too and every PF fan should get one while they can. And as you say it a good intro for someone who doesn't own any DSOTM on vinyl. I paid about £65 and its a good investment, I predict it being in 3 figures in a couple of years - not that I buy to sell or make money.
A bit off topic now, but I'd like to get your take on Taylor Swift's new album one day.
The new Dark Side is pretty good. I wasn't disappointed and the records are gorgeous. The 30th anniversary version is still my favorite but this is a good way to go.
If I listen to the new Taylor Swift record, I will share my thoughts. So far, the reviews are a little mixed. Thank you and take care.
Limited release of anything Beatles related is a bad idea because of the power of their brand. I’d rather the cock-a-mamie cheesy concepts like the 3” discs with the little player be the RSD release than something actually worth getting, like an actual LP. An LP release would be gobbled up quickly then flipped onto eBay immediately and be for hundreds of dollars.
RSD is better for less popular, more obscure albums, but are still interesting. The Howlin Wolf and various jazz albums this year were nice and I wouldn’t mind having, if I were able to buy it.
That's an excellent point. The flippers would come out of the woodwork. Lol. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
I have a question. My personal preference for Dark Side of the Moon is the A3 B3 pressing. It sounds incredible and I'm so happy I own one.
However I'm looking for a secondary copy so my A3-B3 doesn't deteriorate as quickly. Would you recommend this version as a good one to own on the side? :)
This copy would be nice and it has special packaging. It won't sound as good as what you have but as a copy you can play while moving around the house, this will work very well. If money isn't an issue, I would go for the 30th anniversary version. Thank you and take care.
I was surprised when you mentioned that you never had Tubular Bells in your collection, up until now! I have an original copy, and also a 50th Anniversary copy that I special ordered. Tubular Bells is an absolute musical masterpiece in my opinion. You are now officially a member of the owner’s club now! I do hope you enjoy it! Regarding your comments on Record Store Day Fail, I am with you 100%. As always, your video presentation here was excellent! Your kind and caring personality always shine through, and that carries well with all of your viewers! Melinda you’re the best! 💯
Thank you so much for the kind words. ♥️🤗 Tubular Bells is usually one of the first albums people add to their collection. Lol. For some reason, that album alluded me. It was worth the wait. 🤗 Thank you and take care.
I thought it was a big turn-out this RSD (though I sat it out). However, I'm more excited about an Elemental label release next month (that I discovered from Mazzy).
Elemental Music is putting out some wonderful titles. ❤️🤗 RSD was a huge success. Thank you and take care.
I didn't go out for RSD this time, had to work late morning and wanted to sleep in. My record store I normally go to for RSD will put left over titles online at noon the following day. I was able to snag the last copy of the Amboy Dukes album and I agree it sound great. I also have, from a preorder, the Pink Floyd DSOTM 50th.
I understand. You were able to get much needed sleep and still got an incredible record. The DSOTM is very cool as well. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️
My record store didn't even know who the Amboy Dukes were,they didn't have anything I wanted and when I asked was told not an RSD release but a First Release so they didn't carry it.
Felt like saying Dude that's what RSD is supposed to be all about.
It was so frustrating.
Next year I'll check out a different brick and mortar.
That must have been very disappointing. 😳 Hopefully, there is another store near you. Thank you and take care. 🤗❤️
I am not a fan of "Let It Be: Naked". To me it's nothing more than McCartney's self-indulgence. To my ears Phil Spector made a silk purse out of a sow's ear. He was presented with a challenge to make something release quality out of miles of recording tape. The songs had an unfinished feel to them, most borderline rehearsal versions. Spector was able to enhance these recordings with nice orchestration and embellishments the songs so desperately needed. "Let It Be: Naked" sounds like the songs are empty and in need of sweetening. Just like they did before Spector improved them. Additionally McCartney mixed his bass parts up several notches so most of the songs are bass heavy.
I also love the Spector version but big Beatles fans would love to have both versions. ❤️ RSD should release it. Thank you and take care.
If I'm not mistaken, Mike Oldfield played all the instruments on that recording!? Fun fact - Lenny Kravitz did that on his first release😳
Yes, he did. It's pure brilliance. ❤️ Thank you and take care.
Best "new" Beatles record would be a 12" collection of all the fan club singles, Happy Christmas singles, etc that the Beatles recorded in the early days for the Beatles fan club. These are mostly forgotten but are very funny and interesting and Beatles fans and collectors would scoop that up by the 10s of thousands, or more. Melinda I bet you don't even know what I'm talking about.
I had a bootleg album of those 45's on red vinyl. It is a lot of fun. There was a nice box set that got released many years ago. The cool ones to have are the original fan club versions. 🤗❤️🔥 Thank you and take care.
hi melinda, glad you had success at RSD. I didnt get what i really wanted (Death cab for cutie Live @ showbox) but while i was shopping i was thinking should i just buy some of these pressings that i see that i know will be gone and going for 2x 3x or more on the secondary market. In the end i did not decide to buy or flip and i was almost dissapointed at myself for even thinking to do so. Its a touchy subject for sure (flipping) anyway enjoy your video as always and as always the curls are on point! Cheers. Brian in NC
I understand! It would be a tempting way to make a few dollars and pay for your hobby. I haven't done it but I do understand why others do. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
I went to one store on RSD. I didn’t see the record I wanted so I didn’t buy anything. But I did buy two records from Walmart and ordered two records online past weekend.
We don't have to buy RSD releases to take part in the celebration. 🤗❤️ I'm glad you did find a few things you were wanting. Thank you and take care.
I didn’t go because the one song I wanted was the number one pick for everybody this year. The Noah Kahan Olivia Rodrigo Stick Season 45rpm record and I didn’t feel like standing out in the cold for 5 hours before the store opened to get one of the 5 45’s the store had. I did want the Elton John Caribou..but, so did everyone else.
Waiting outside in the cold is very tough. I understand. 🤗❤️
Have to admit I don't get the hype about Tubular Bells. Listened to it once and was so bored I almost stopped playing it before it was over - and I NEVER do that. I kinda felt the same way about Ziggy Stardust, to be honest - though I do need to revisit it before I come to a final judgment about it. Lol
We can't all like everything. Just because I enjoyed something doesn't mean you will. Lol. I appreciate your honesty. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
I grabbed a Morrissey 12” I wanted and a Sonic Youth one release, I’m actually getting a bit fed up with it and particularly the pricing - it seems they make the prices up as they go along!
The David Bowie record was a fair price but other records did seem pretty pricey. 🤔 Thank you and take care.
Melinda,do you ever attend AXPONA in Chicago?Great Audio show!
Yes. I was there. The last episode I put out was all about the experience. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.
Don’t be mad at me, but I don’t do record day anymore. I will go if the records that are being displayed our better sound quality, Atmos versions or albums/CDs with bonus tracks and rare mixes. I really don’t need the same albums over and over again, but only in colored vinyl or splatter vomitstyle vinyl. I don’t need it. I don’t want it.
I understand. We don't have to be into RSD to love records. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
i wanted to get Tesla's Reel to Reel vinyl on RSD, now it's selling on EBay for $150 plus UGHHHH
Oh wow! Hopefully that price will simmer down after the RSD hype is gone. Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. 🤗♥️ Take care.
Yes! Let It Be Naked would be an awesome RSD release. And now with the Get Back Doc Series from 2 years ago and the Let It Be movie coming. Maybe for RSD Black Friday... But maybe with a little twist, by including the coda to the Get Back song and expanding the miserable 20 minutes of the second disc. Great idea Melinda!
That would be awesome! I wish you were in charge.❤️🤗Thank you and take care.
The 20 minute 2nd CD on LIBN was the equivalent of the bonus "Fly On The Wall" single /EP that came with the LP and that ran at 33. Not too dissimilar to what they did with the 12" EP equivalent on the remixed Let It Be CD box. They could have included those 4 tracks onto another disc instead. Actually the 'Fly' contents could have been put at the end of the main LIBN CD too.
I never liked The Beatles. But, I’m happy you have a lot of their music. I only have a mono boxset by them. Which I never opened and played.
I really like them but we all like different things. Nothing wrong with that. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
I had my sights set on the Let It Be Naked vinyl, until I randomly stumbled upon a minty CD copy of it at Goodwill, at which time I decided, if only just for now, to be content with that version of it 😎
The CD is a great way to have that album. The vinyl has increased in price way too much. That's why we need a reissue. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
Glad you were able to get what you were looking for. I need to check out Amboy Dukes. The Records Store Day Beatles release I thought you were going to recommend was the butcher cover version of Yesterday . . . and Today. You look good in the T-shirt.
Thank you for the compliment. A new version of the old butcher cover would be a fun release. Maybe someday. ♥️🤗 Thank you and take care.
Hey Melinda, I don't know if you have it or if anyone has recommended it yet, but if you want to give you subs a workout try There and Back by Jeff Beck.
Thank you for the suggestion. 🤗🤔 I'm not familiar with it. Take care.
Hi Melinda.
"Let it be... Naked" would have been a 1000 times better idea than the 3" discs, which are just gimmicks. (Have had "...Naked" for some years now).
"...Naked" is how the album should have been released in the first place - so much more in line with what The Beatles were trying to "Get Back" to at the time (not Spector's millions of violins etc....) .
I actually like both versions of the album very much. I agree that this is more of what The Beatles would have done. It's definitely what Paul preferred. Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. Take care. 🤗♥️
@@MelindaMurphy Thanks for your reply (yes - definitely Paul's project though George, Ringe and Yoko Ono agreed).
I fully understand that w. 30k followers and +400 comments you can't reply from day-to-day.
BUT it's such good style that you do it - other YT'ers could learn from this 😊
I don't get the 3" single Beatles releases. I would like to see the Ed Sullivan performances on a nice gatefold release with awesome photos and quality sound. Oh well.
The turntable and records are really cute but there are other releases that would probably have broader appeal. Thank you and take care.
To a degree i agree and disagree..... i think we all would have enjoyed let it be naked but i also know that this "installment" of the 3 inch stuff is what it is, another piece in the puzzle for collectors that started buying these novelty players and singles several rsd 's ago. I think it kind of gives the new generation a view behind the curtain when 45s were the way music was released until 33 1/3 long players became the norm. Not many other artist have 45 box sets sure the stones do and very limited other artist as well but not alot for sure. Some could say with Love closing in vegas this year that it would have been a nice reissue as well. Or anthology for that matter, beatl3 fans are foaming at the mouth for rubber soul box sets and earlier stuff too. Not to mention a REAL Magical mystery tour,( that german one that is raved about would be so awesome).i guess what i am trying to imply is there are tons of beatles stuff that requires proper re releases or releases, and id rather they gave the hokey stuff to rsd just to have content there , and save let it be naked, love, anthology and all others for stand alone releases. Not to mention sony would make more not having share revenue with other releases of the day. Therefore charging more and not getting stuck with product left over in the end. Let it be box set is extremely discounted due to not enough sold. Above all this point was proven with the red and blue box set deluxe edition in colored vinyl, it had to be repressed several times and mine was a month late and i ordered it the day it was available for pre order whilst i watch others open theirs ahead of me on you tube. The good stuff will come i just hope it isnt cheapened up by releasing it on rsd dates. Let them have the 3 inch players and singles for their nostalgia, while serious collectors like ourselves wait for the good stuff.
You make a great argument and the turntable had universal appeal because it's collectible and extremely cute. What you said does make sense to me. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
You know Melinda, although I don't really listen to much of the same music as you do or collect the same vinyl as you do, I still love watching your videos because you have such a warm, calm and welcoming feeling to the way you talk and the stories you tell, and are clearly very passionate about this stuff.
I've been collecting records again only for a handful of months so far and the collection is growing much faster than I intended 😅 went from 1 to 31 records in a month and a half.
Thank you so much for the kind words. 🤗♥️ I appreciate the encouragement so much.
I understand how quickly a record collection can grow. I have been there. Lol. That's part of the fun. Thank you and I apologize for the delayed response. Take care.
Unfortunately I could not visit the stores in the morning on RSD. It’s kind of sad to see gougers putting the RSD editions on eBay almost the same day…
I agree. The flippers are so frustrating. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
Ugh I was so wanting Collective Soul Dosage and called all over the nation but could not find one, I’m hoping they will put out a re-release soon😎🤘
I hope it does get another reissue for you. This RSD was very popular. The stores sold a lot of records. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗
I’m not sure the world needs another copy of Dark Side of the Moon for any reason but I’m sure they will keep coming
It's a classic album. They will keep making them as long as it keeps selling. ❤️🤗 Thank you and take care.
What a coincidence I was just streaming tubular bells last night and was considering getting it on vinyl. I have a multichannel version of Dark Side of the Moon on SACD that is mind blowing but I do not have a vinyl version. I love that poster. Always enjoy your reviews and suggestions take care Melinda!
It really does sound great on vinyl. If you can find a clean copy, pick it up. You won't regret it. Thank you and take care. ❤️🤗
I have the SACD too. I have a great collection of SACDs. Some are single layer, some are double layer. You know the ones with a regular CD 💿 or it. I should play them more. I have the Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick dual disc. It sounds wonderful.
Didn’t get anything on Recore day as I didn’t have a chance, but now you’ve got tubular bells you need for 50th anniversary edition it’s a lot more detailed and it’s half master speed
Several people have recommended the 50th anniversary version. It must be very good. 🤗♥️ Thank you for the suggestion. Take care.
