Not just the volume of music but the sheer QUALITY of music is mind boggling.
True anybody can amass an insane amount of junk cds these days if you stick to thrift stuff. Obviously vast majority of this stuff was bought new from the looks of it.
@@TMINE100 Before I sold/put into storage my physical music media I 'stripped' out of them every track I liked (yes it was a huge task as I had well over 3,000 albums in LP/cd form) & just converted those tracks to mp3. Then only bought a la carte digital music from that point on. To me the mark of 'non-junk' isn't whether they were bought new or used (or cut-outs), I honestly found quite a few of my albums either used or in bargain bins back in the day (this was in the pre-internet days).
I think if people are being really honest with themselves there are probably MANY albums they own where they only like one or a couple of tracks (and of course that varies by person based on personal musical taste). That's why I don't get too hung up on the sheer number of albums someone might own, it's more about the quantity of music that they actually like (and will listen to). There were many albums where I'd faithfully skip the same tracks every time I played them - now I just play those that I actually like. I know that Pete (and probably many others) are in the 'gotta play the whole album through every time' camp...
@@wolf1977 I get rid of albums that aren't worth playing all the way through.
@@TMINE100 Then you either will miss out on a LOT of great individual songs and/or you own many greatest hits compilations - and many great deep tracks are excluded from bands' greatest hits packages. In fact speaking from experience in putting together many custom playlists (and before that mix tapes & best-of CD-R's), the vast majority of greatest hits sets don't match up very well to my playlists, meaning that they're leaving out a lot of songs that I really like.
I'd also say that the actual number of albums where I can honestly say that I like every single track is the vast minority of albums that I've owned or have heard. I couldn't conceive of purposely getting rid of albums where I only like let's say 1/2 of the tracks (without first 'ripping' those songs - which in fact is what I did years ago), that would deprive me of some really great music
@@wolf1977 No I own mostly studio albums and have a large collection 2000+ it's not to say there's no bad tracks on any of the albums, it's a question of if I'm not willing to spin this from beginning to end it needs to go. The point of my Cd collection is not to have every single song I like catalogued, that's where streaming and TH-cam come in handy.
One thing to say: this is one hell of a collection. I thought I had a lot of cds with my 760 something cds...wrong! :)
I think his CDs from A -D outnumber my entire collection. 😮
Love that you had Luis Nasser's favorite album out front "Olias of Sunhillow"
Incredible collection. It must be one of the largest private rock music collections in the world, without doubt.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Now I know why you can never find any CD's at Wal-Mart and Target. They're all at Pete's house. (Just kidding, Pete)
@@j.woodbury412
I was just at my local Target last night, and I was disappointed to see that the amount of shelf space devoted to physical media (CD's, DVD's, Blu-rays, etc.) has incrementally over time been substantially reduced to almost nothing. An entire aisle there a few weeks ago that use to house older movies and series box sets is completely gone now. All that remains is a small end cap display for new release CD's (mostly Top 40 & Hip Hop, very little Rock), a small 4-sided stand-alone display for select new DVD's/Blu-rays, and three short shelves in one aisle displaying a paltry selection of new vinyl record albums (mostly Target exclusives). It would seem that we as a civilization are quickly getting much closer than most of us realize to the feudal dystopian nightmare promised by Klaus Schwab of the diabolical World Economic Forum in which "You will own nothing, but you will be happy." How unfortunate that evidently so many of you are content to sit back passively and embrace this "new normal" being imposed upon all of us!
@@Daniel-415-Ponce That is sad, and scary. I hate this "new normal". Last I looked Barnes & Noble had a pretty good selection of cd's, I got Rush's "Roll the Bones" and Chicago's "Chicago" (also known as "Chicago II") at Barnes & Noble last year for my birthday. I'm thinking about buying a vinyl record player and starting a vinyl collection, but I haven't made up my mind about it. I've heard both good and bad things about buying vinyl records, but that's true about anything.
@@Daniel-415-Ponce The big supermarket chains have never given a toss about stocking quality music/films other than the mass produced mainstream pap, certainly here in the UK , thankfully there are still plenty of independent retailers who stock pretty much anything you're looking for so it's not too bleak just yet.
Holy smokes! This is sweet. I'm sure many have been waiting for something like this for a long time!!!
Thank you for sharing some of your favorite music collections Pete. I am slowly building up my Prog and Prog Fusion CDs and boxsets. Thank you for your expert advice and hard work in recommending many lesser know Prog and Prog Fusion bands and albums.
When you mentioned the Amboy Dukes some viewers might have noticed 'The American Amboy Dukes'. This would be an import album (possibly 'Migration') with 'American' added because there was a British band named Amboy Dukes. It was similar with British band Bush being branded 'Bush X' in Canada because there was an early 70s band named Bush and its leader, Dom Troiano, still owned the name. He later sold the rights to the Brits to raise money for a cancer society. He himself later died of prostate cancer.
If Dom Troiano sounds familiar, he and Bush singer Roy Kenner were enlisted to take Joe Walsh's place in the James Gang. Troiano also had a solo career and did a couple albums with the Guess Who. Other Bush members Whitey Glann and Prakash John went to Alice Cooper and Lou Reed.
Stopped counting at14.000 Lp`s ( analog ) & over 7.000 Cd`s in my collection several years ago.
My fetish rock & roll years are from 1956 - 1975 U.S.A. England, Germany, South America, Italy, etc.
These were the golden years of rock n roll music. I like many bands that came after that time period, but they are few.
P.S. I met the band Deep Purple in person 3 times for photos & autographs & Alice Cooper 2 times,& many others.
From a very die hard fan of rock & roll music. Keep the faith.
That Jon Anderson Song of Seven is awesome, the Alias one has some great tracks too!
Thanks for giving us a glimpse “behind the curtain” I’ve watched your videos for a while now. Thanks for turning me on to a lot of cool stuff.
Yes, it's fun to get a little glimpse outside the normal frame view. The Universal monster figures are rad.🤘
Very nice , and so many,
This is awesome!!! The figure collection definitely blew me away.
Breathtaking!
Shout out to your wife for accepting your collection obsession. I’m thoroughly jealous 😂
My wife gives my shit all the time. Sez she's gonna gonna toss it when I go (I'm about 10 years older).
I think Pete’s wife is buried in there somewhere. Alphabetically of course. 😄
Impressive!! I'm going to be wearing out the pause button looking at your collection. :)
Came for the music, geeked out for the action figures, so cool man! Loved all that Deep Purple. Rock on!
Im a collector,myself...but you are the Man.👍🤘😀
That’s great! I only have right at around 1,000 cds about 600 albums and my wife thinks I have a lot. 😂 guess I need to buy some more. Very nice Pete
FINALLY!!!! Lol!
Youre literally the person who inspired me to collect Cds!
Hi Pete.....You got yourself a real mancave there...I've been followed you on youtube for a while.so, greetings from Norway
Thank you for the tour. Can't wait until the next one.
when there's a ladder involved ya know its going to be good. i'm only at around 1,000 cd's so far. ohh to dream...
Wow, what a library! Love your figurines too
Very nice collection of cds !
So glad you showed your Beatles REVOLVER album. Bought the reissue in November for myself as a Xmas gift. Just remembered I did not open that up for Xmas. Checked where we stashed some stuff. There was an Amazon package unopened. Had the olds...
Cool cd & figure collection, love the Harryhausen creatures & Universal Monsters.
Yes! Can’t wait for the Cheap Trick ranking the album show.
I'm ready with my 35 CT albums. Sex America Cheap Trick, and the live On Top Of The World & Music For Hangovers deserve some attention. For me the best ever power pop band, their sheer volume of great music & longevity beats out The Raspberries
I briefly saw City Boy's Young Men Gone West. I had that on vinyl. Thought maybe I was the only person East of the Mississippi who owned that, but then came Pete Pardo! Dear Jean (I'm Nervous) the one killer cut from that album
Hi Pete...love your channel....LOVE your collection!!!.....is your wife a music lover too?....she must be very cool because most women wouldn't have a man having all those cds....you know what I am saying?....she must love your passion for music and that's a very rare and wonderful thing....to have someone love you for you and what makes you happy.....looking forward to seeing more of your collection. Rock on Pete!!!!
Pete, you are living the dream.
To answer your question always keep the older recordings I know it takes up space but some of the older recordings become harder to find.
I love collections of this size
Now, this is the most epic collection ever.
Great to see this. When you are at your chair I try to figure out the CDs I scan see.
Wow oh wow incredible!!! Awesome collection and love all the figures too!!
Dude, that Sandman, Electro & Mysterio figures look sick! amazing video Pete, keep em comin!
Hell yeah!!! Every time I watch your videos I always want a tour of the collection. Also would like to see the comic collection!
I love spine art! Cool when they split an image across a catalog (i.e. maiden, priest, megadeth). I noticed bits of Budgie doing that. Always cool.
This is a truly impressive collection which leaves me a shade of Paradise Green with envy. I live in South Africa and in my town there are no records shops anymore, so Mr Pardo's videos are a great way to stay up to date with new releases. I look forward to checking out the rest of the collection - love the Be Bop Deluxe, Futurama is an outstanding album. All the best for 2023. Salute!!
Wow! It's like looking at my own collection except you have way more! Love Camel!! Evidently we both have impeccable taste. Looking forward to see the rest of your collection!
You're immense collection makes my collection look pitiful and pales in comparison.🙂
Then when I saw your action figures It warmed my heart.
5 part series???
I am not worthy.
Lots of cool albums, some I've not heard before. Definitely some titles I'll have to research and maybe add to my small collection. Where do you purchase most of your albums from? Thanks for sharing Pete 👍 Cheers 🍻
Wow !! Thank you, Pete for the exciting tour of your, CD collection etc..
All the damn time.
I really enjoyed this.
Looking forward to the next video!!
I have a , CD and record collection., etc..
I want some shelves like yours !! You’re so organized !! Love it !!
I have a music room with my musical instruments, guitars, drums, etc..
🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
Life is better with music.
Very cool - so glad that you posted this so that next time my wife & daughter try telling me that I have "enough" (whatever that means!), I can show them this video and say: "You think I have alot? Look at this!" LOL Def looking forward to seeing the rest!
Damn Pete, awesome collection!
So awesome!! For years I’ve been trying to figure out what I can see on the shelf from the camera 😂. Keep it up Pete, long live SOT!!
I love checking out others collections, mines really Big too. Cool collection.
Wow! A-D would fill up my whole cd shelf.
Pete you're the man. Very impressive. I now know why you don't collect vinyl. City boy? 5705. Didn't know anyone else had heard of them.
Pete thanks! It's tough when you are constantly jostling for more room.
Fantastic collection - thank you for showing us.
Next up your figures and comics. Then movies and t-shirts! Ha! 😁
I already did a series on my shirts a year or two ago.
@@sotdude7 I saw it. I've been around for a while on your channel, Pete. Much respect.
YES! This has been a long time coming, thanks Pete!
Hello Pete,
I see you go from A to D from top to bottom. I have them ordered from left to the right. Impressie collection!
Greetings from the Netherlands
Glorious!
Just awesome, Pete. I have been very interested to see your collection. Highly enjoyable. The figurines are super cool as well. Thanks for doing this and sharing with us. 🤘🤘
How many CD's does Pete have?
Yes!
I would estimate between 9k-10k not including box sets
Just wow!! Thanks for sharing Pete!
Cheers,
Mike 😎🇨🇦🤘🏻
Ah, sweet, it finally happened! After so many years, up-close-and-personal with the famous SoT background, very cool! 😎Love the custom-made shelves.
This was an unanticipated pleasure. Looking forward to the follow-up episodes. Thanks for sharing, Pete.
One of your best videos yet Pete.I'll watch them all till XTC,Yes and Zappa.
That was fun! Will definitely watch the upcoming ones.
A brilliant collection Pete ! Nice to see you acquired some of those early Buffalo albums.Being an Australian myself it was cool to see someone else with those albums.They are a cool typical 70's heavy rock band.Nice to see the rest of the collection !
Not only is your CD 💿 collection is overwhelmingly impressive, but the built in bookcases gorgeous where you can display some of your CD collection 📀 DVD/ bluray and figurines Makes my CD collection looks small in comparison,it all reflects your love for music and movies! Thanks for sharing it, can’t wait to see more 🤩
Hey Pete - First reaction was Holy shit Wow!! You need more shelves!! Bursting out from the seams. Then, what a collection!! Cool action figures. In order to fit in everything nicely, you need 50% more shelving or 75% more shelving might give you a couple of months additional space to add to your collection. HaHa. It is a museum of music equal to the Paris's Louve for art. Outstanding and over whelming, can't wait for part Two.
That was fun. It looks like my cd collection.It is good to know we are not alone in getting music.
Well done Pete, thanks.
That's a marvelous collection !
About 20 years ago when I got up over 150 CDs I thought "wow this is starting to get out of control." Clearly I'm a rank amateur. 🤪
You know.....what you actually have is a kick ass record store. Seriously, I've been to several brick & mortar stores who's A to D section is no where near yours. 🤘
It was worth waiting for this episode. I am in for more of this collection tour series.
Thanks for the terrific tour. Had no idea you also like to collect guitars as well!
Yes! Been looking forward to this!!! Awesome Pete!!!
Wow Perte that`a a lot of CD`s You are a true collecter thats for sure
Very cool Pete!!! It’s always cool looking at someone else’s collection!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad to see some comic books and action figures. Amazing collection. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah dude you've got a goldmine of Deep Purple but I do know Deep Purple is your number 1 favorite band so your collection is awesome!
As cool as tbe details are. I just love seeing the wide shots of the whole thing and all the shelves
Love the figures
Yay! Now I don’t have to try to zoom in on your shelves all the time!
Ever great your collection is Pete. Always admire it when I come here. I have as much as I still do of a collection of cds vinyls cassettes DVDs etc, Much smaller but still a great collection of stuff. Have made purges I had to make but hold on to what I can and what I pick up when I do and make space for here. Great to be a collector and be engaged when I come here to see what episodes are shown. Thanks so much Pete,🎶
Excellent collection, PP!
I know one thing, nobody's got 'that much' BIRTH CONTROL (well, except for my ex-wife)
🥁 pa-cha!
Seriously now, a lotta good sections to behold! A couple faves for me would be the BOWIE & BUDGIE. Two things to bring up about those... With Budgie, you should try to get the Noteworthy label editions of "Squwak" and "NTYBOAF," so you can complete that badass "connected spine logo" properly. I mean, not to sound too esoteric here, but since you have most of the others there, you know. Adding (supplanting) those two would give you the full "BUDGIE"! * My Budgie CDs are all older Repertoire, which sound great, so I'll probably never get the Noteworthy editions. it's just cool for me to see what the Noteworthy spines look like. I didn't know they did the old Free/Iron Maiden thing with the interesting spine connective. Cool.
As for DAVID BOWIE, I'm sure you're just fine with those EMI editions w/ the groovy picture top spines. But... depending on how much you love classic 70s Bowie (which should be with all your heart and soul of course), the more recent Parlophones and the old, hard to acquire RCA editions (even 'some' of the Rykos) offer better, more authentic, dynamic mastering. And the RCAs, which I love best, feature the original LP "back cover" art on the rear. So just a heads up there.
Again, I'm sure the EMIs suit you fine. This issue is more about sound. The EMI CDs are just unnecessarily bassy in places (which is decidedly un-Bowie like) and also, that stinking "no-noise" technology was used as well. Feh...
They're decent though. Nothing too egregious. I still have 'em too! Just greatly prefer the other (RCA & Parlophone) editions, especially sound wise. 🦉
Marc
P.s. Love the Universal Horror figures too!
Awesome Harryhausen collection!
We've been waiting for this for a long time Pete and now it's here hahaha. Great stuff.
Pete, thanks so much for this video. After watching hundreds of SOT shows it's nice to see your collection up close and personal. The action figures were a nice touch too. It just goes to show that you are just like the rest of us 50-60 year old kids.
I have just under 800 CDs. I 'm not a collector, I just buy what I like. My collection ranges through punk, post-punk, metal, jazz, hip-hop, r' n b, prog, classic rock, etc. Still, a collection as large as Pete's is obviously a labor of love. I hope he has many more years with it.
Pete, the rock music encyclopedia
I got too excited about the mention of a Barclay James Harvest top 10!
Did not see any Captain Beefheart in your awesome collection...brilliant stuff !!!
Thank you for sharing Pete, love your channel! My collection is insignificant compared to this - Utterly amazing! I have 1500 Vinyl albums mainly rock from 1969 a few from post 2015 and a 2000 plus CDs from 1994 - my wife moans about the space but when catalogued on Discogs - her attitude changed! We now have a changing wall for album covers when her work colleagues visit........... make of that what you will :)
Nice collection Pete.😃👍
Amazing collection, Pete! I've got about 1200 CDs myself, likewise arranged in alphabetical order. It's really the best way to find what you want to listen to. 👍
Pete…. Thanks so much….. love seeing the collection, including the comic related pieces….
Great tour! I am probably not the only one wondering what the rest of the room looks like while watching Pete from his usual position in front of the desktop.
Impressive collection
I'm somewhere in the 10,000 plus cds/dvds range and i unfortunately had to put more than half of them in sleeves which everything fits nicely in. Can't see the spines when i'm looking for something but i keep info on paper so i know whats on each shelf. I'm getting my 14th shelf this week. I live with my parents so thats 10,000 plus cds/dvds in 1 bedroom.
awesome rock and roll awesom
My OCD immediately pinged when I saw Joe Satriani with the ‘A’s before you even mentioned it! Ha! Ha! This is fantastic content Pete, always love(d) going through someone else’s record collection.. as music heads, it can really tell a lot about a person..
You remind me of my buddy Victor Dricks, only his obsession is original fantasy artwork (he has some original Elmore and Easley stuff, blew my mind when I first saw his house about 13 years ago) and signed books (he's got an enormous, totally custom movie-esque library upstairs with thousands of first run books, many of them signed).
That is quite an impressive collection! And this is just the first of five videos!. I'm envious of all the Marvel and monster figures, but if I started adding toys to my CD and comic book collections, I'd probably be heading for divorce court!
Pretty cool stuff, including the figurines.
Ambrosia i remember in the 1970s. They had a hit single in 1975 called Holding on to Yesterday. I like that song. Atlanta Rhythm Section were cool too. Blue Oyster Cult were a favorite group of mine. I saw David Bowie in concert in 1978. I have seen Cheap Trick live too. I like their cover of Ain't that a Shame live at Budokan.
