I just love Manhattan so much. And Grand Central Station and and../
Thank you for showing us around
Glad you enjoyed it! For me the whole experience of Manhattan is part of the feeling so I’m glad to be able to include it for you to get the same vibe I do before hitting up a record store.
Very nice video... So COOL to see the pics from Manhattan... Nice shop and lot's of fantastic music 😀👍😀👍😀👍
Great video as always. Bookoff is amazing. I've shopped at a few of their shops in Tokyo. Always great for picking up CDs, DVDs and Video Games.
They were a late find for me here in NYC. I’ve lived here 22 years before I found them 😂
My son and I watched this today, before our James Bond film of the week. Very enjoyable, and you got some great deals! I've got several of those that you bought. When I was in NYC, I never went to any of the museums, which is something I'd like to see one day. My friend showed us all the music locations - Strawberry Fields, the Dakota, Greenwich Village, Soho, Washington Square Park, and the place where him and his buddy used to go to listen to Frank Zappa rehearse with his band every day. We went to Rockefeller Plaza and tried to get tickets for Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater, but it was sold out. He also showed us Needle Park, which is like this little island in the middle of a road, with trees and bushes and benches and stuff. It was all very cool, but I'd like to go back one day and see the art and the history stuff.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Great Store buying stuff!!
Thanks! 👍
I love the scenes from the metro, the main train station and all of the signs you show, it really gives your trips to the record shops that extra little bit of authenticity. I'm going to go back and watch the previous seven videos now. Thanks for the great videos.
Hi Dan, glad you’re enjoying these. There are actually 17 total videos for record store experiences, 8 with the sights and sounds of NYC, the others simply focus on the record stores. See link to playlist with all of the videos if you’re interested th-cam.com/play/PLXugCGslmwqlH4ovvscmUZzZRGQQzlPcW.html
@@BrendonSnyder Thank you so much for the Playlist and for also letting me know about the extra episodes. That's this afternoon's viewing done once I've finished up with work for the day. Cheers.
I'm originally from Japan and used to go to Bookoff all the time! Bookoff and Disk Union (just found out there is one store in CA) are two major CDs and records stores in Japan. Thank you for sharing your trip to the store (& museum), I enjoyed it so much!
Out Of The Cradle is my fav Buckingham CD as well. A real steal for a $1.50!
Of course I always find the super cheap edition after I’ve paid full price for mine 😂
Hi Brendon, I enjoyed your trip into NYC it brought back so many memories. I have been to NYC a couple of times and interestingly have stayed on 42nd st over the road from Grand central station and I have been to the MET and I love Ancient Egypt so also visited that part of the gallery too! I recognised so much in your video so that was really cool. I used to own that Best of Kansas many years ago. The only addition to my collection lately is RAUM on vinyl the latest Tangerine Dream album I picked up at the Leeds gig, that was so awesome!
Hi Paul, glad you were able to connect with so much of it. Always fun being able to help bring back fond memories like those.
I love videos like this. More, please.
Greatvideo thanks for art trip love it
I live in Sydney, a long way from New York, so it’s great to see the sights of Manhattan on these videos, thanks Brendon!
You’re quite welcome! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I just posted a new one today, see link if you’re interested th-cam.com/video/BRGhIlwbst8/w-d-xo.html
Awesome store Brendon and the MET was amazing to see, thanks for that 👍
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the whole of the trip! They’re always fun for me to make and share.
nice haul Brendon.Always like these videos when you go to the record/cd stores have a great day
great trip to record store always tastefully done-thanks for making the effort👍
Really live when you hit the vinyl. I can’t remember which video but you went by a black n blue album and I screamed because I want it! Keep up the good videos. I enjoy them!
What a great store (Book Off), I wish we had something like in my local city!
Hello from Liverpool in England 🇬🇧
Love the video Brandon great job!
This video made me play the Artpop album. Now I have to buy it. It’s very good. Cheers!
Love the discount bins! I was in Portland a week ago, and one the branches of Everyday Music. It's closing down next month so even the discount bins were further discounted by 25%. I got 22 CDs for $20. As you said, made off like a bandit! As great as that binge was, I'm very sad to see yet another record shop close it's doors.
I love these videos when you take a trip to the record store. Can't get enough of them. Did I just see Izzy Stradlin and the Juju Hounds 1992 S/T debut album as one of the cd's you showed for $1.50? Unfortunately, I live in OH, not in NYC, but that's a cd I'd like to have in my collection. And I doubt I'll ever make a trip over to the Big Apple anytime soon in the near or far future. But that's a cool find, and I figured you probably already owned that one. And the Ian Moore S/T disc is really good. "How Does It Feel?" is the big hit from that album, one of the most underrated album rock radio hits from 1993. Another cool find for $1.50. I would have definitely picked up that one for sure, also. And Shania was Mrs. Mutt Lange for 17 years, and the couple have a son from the marriage. Mutt produced albums for various artists, 50 years and counting.
Yeah I was really surprised to see it stuffed in there for a Buck fifty too! It’s a big album for me tied with lots of memories and being the first solo album from a member of GNR at the time. I still regularly listen to it.
Some great buys there! I work nearby that place so I’ve shopped there several times.
As a matter of fact that Jesus Jones Liquidizer CD was the first CD I ever bought, back in 1992. I still do own it and listen to it occasionally.
Great show! Those visits are very entertaining. Great section of 1.50$, I would've gone insane in there :-) I've never heard of Blitzspeer and will have to check them out. Just got the new Placebo (Never let me Go) and Jagged Edge (Fuel for your Soul). Cheers!
This is different, I'm watching you on the PC and commenting on my phone. I LOVE the museum. Reminiscent of the Chicago Museum of Natural History. I'd love to go to Book Off. Didn't like that Cult album even though I have it. Saw Lover boy once. Have a fair amount of what you dug out. Saw Three Dog Night and Can Halen years ago. Lots of memories, lots of music.
Nice trip to the art museum. I have a few of those CDs you purchased. The Sting Sacred Love has a duet with Mary J. Blije. Sting is one of my favorite artists. I have the majority of his solo albums.
Sting is one of those artists that can work with anyone it seems. It just depends on who is popular at the moment.
Absolutely enjoyed the trip out . Not much chance anytime soon of me going to the met its a bit of a hike from South Yorkshire England . Oh by the way I saw Graham Oliver yesterday but he was in his car so could not ask if he was recording anything new as you asked . But he does jamm in our local bar . So may get the chance at some point
Hi Brendon!!! what a cool store Bookoff is, i wish we had something like that here.... Dokken's "T&N" that's one i'm looking after (og pressing). cheers and be well
$18 for Zevon's oop Transverse City! Whoa! Good cd though! Cool video! I used to live at 107 and Bway for a time on the red line. 5 story walk up with roof access. I would love to spend some time and doe ray me in that Bookoff, but it would be an 8 hour drive for me now!
How about stopping for food on a future visit and having a bagel or pizza to rub it in on those outside of NYC? 😄
When I did Chinese New Year I stopped for bubble tea and filmed it but left it out of the video and I didn’t figure it would be of interest to anyone. 😂
Hi Brendon, that Bookoff shop looks like CD heaven to me! Walls of used CD's, it must be full of rare finds and new stock. We have nothing like that in the UK unfortunately. For one of your videos could you do a Glam/Sleaze/Hair bands from the 80' and 90's who have released new albums in the last 5 years? I'm sure I am missing some? That Cult S/T 1994 CD is one of my favourite all time ever albums, I would have purchased as a spare copy! Thanks Mark
Loving the first 3 minute's of concrete city, looks intersting yet terrifying at the same time, I'm only a country bumpkin here in Cornwall UK. America seems vast and scary. Our buidings don't exceed probably 50 feet normally. You have buildings almost touching the moon. Its a scary looking place.
But Lady Gaga in the mix 🙄🤔 not sure how you mix Judas Priest with Lady Gaga, bit confused Brendon 😢 still loving your videos, my late night shows here in the UK lately 👍
Found you today!
Hi Brendan. Where do you get the time to listen to all the music 🎶 awesome collection mate.
Great video !
I hope that Ian Moore cd sets you on a path to seek out more of his stuff. I like the way he infuses his songs with a slow boil, R&B element.
You never know where a new album will take you!
I noticed you showed Gentle Giant's live album...an absolute masterpiece that is hard to get here in the U.K.
I have the vinyl version. Agree.
@@TheBlockDog Lucky man. Happy listening.
Brendon I noticed that you picked up badfinger magic Christian cd...then put it back. I'm guessing you already have it. Great cd but my favorite is no dice. As always keep rocking
I have a different version and was considering replacing it but opted not to.
Brendon if you are ever in Tennessee or north Carolina we have a chain called mckays used books and cds I always find great deals
Thanks, I will keep it in mind!
dam I would have spent 200,no store like that in Baltimore enjoy your vids
Still 19 CDs for $60+ is really good. If I didn’t already have over 11,000 CDs I’m sure I’d spend a lot more too. But I own most things already.
Hi Brendon
Long time listener ,first time caller. That's what you say right. Just kidding.
I you being a Paul Shortino, and Rough Cutt fan, like you said in a show, and I said to check out Demon Doll records to get a hold of Rough Cutt and some of Paul other projects that were out of print, I know you showed them on a episode, I hope you liked them, just to let you know Paul let DD records put out another one that was out of print, his Band project called The Cutt is now released by them, if you don't already have it, just order my copy excited for to arrive 13 bucks can't beat that. Following your recommends and also things that remind me I don't, this last, I got about 40 cds mostly used got lucky and found alot of good stuff and great prices to. Take care
Hi Brent, thanks for the beards up. I do own The Cutt but will check it out in case I like the reissue better for some reason.
@@BrendonSnyder your welcome, I think it might have a couple of bonus tracks but I'm not sure.
I have never seen so many CDs!
That Halford album got me thinking maybe if you could do a non-Priest, Halford album ranking that'll be spectacular.
Have the Outfield, Loverboy, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, Scorpions, Lady Gaga, Shania Twain, Sting, CSNY, Lindsey Buckingham, Joe Jackson, garth Brooks (The masters are supposedly buried underneath his walk of fame star), Kansas but the new version might have to seek at the old one.
That Best of Kansas CD was the third CD I ever owned, purchased it in NYC decades ago but no longer own it.
…maybe the one I bought originally belonged to you? 🤷♂️ haha
@@BrendonSnyder Funny, as I always think about things like that. Once on a music forum someone posted some Otis Redding CDs he just bought that I had sold the month prior to an online vendor. Hmm.. I got rid of that Kansas CD when I bought the more expansive Essential Kansas but that single disc version got lots of plays but, then again, I only had 3 CDs at the time..LOL
They have vinyl records too??? Where? I was there three times during the last week..on my first trip to Manhattan (Great experience!)...walked around all the place many times, but I never saw them!! :O :O
I don't get rid of my various artists or individual "best of's" even after acquire the tracks elsewhere. There are many edits and mixes even that sometimes "sneak out" inadvertently. Occasionally an unfinished mix will pop up on a compilation without anyone knowing better. Furthermore, in the 60's you have the stereo vs mono mixes and many are not just the stereo version summed to one channel.
Out of the Cradle is Lindsay's best.
Wow. When I come to the states to do some serious record shopping, will you take me please. ☮️n❤️ From the land down under 🤩
There certainly are a lot of great places here in NYC! Below is a link to a video I made of my favorite Record Stores th-cam.com/video/t06ukyzAAw4/w-d-xo.html to help give you some ideas.
I'm 50 and have collected my whole life. I have just over 17000 round spinning music makers. I'm currently getting a Saturday night fever dance floor put in my record room. Have always had a thing for them. Just can't get enough. Thanx for link. I'll check it out now. 🤩
Still waiting on the McCartney and lady ga ga song. It has mike from pearl jam on guitar. I've been waiting for nine years.
Brendon, the latest album from the Outfield is called "RePlay". I have the rest of their catalog but i'm having a very hard time coming up with that one. Do you have it?
Does Bookoff keep their CDs in the jewel cases on the shelf? Or are the jewel cases empty and CDs held behind the counter? Don't think I've ever seen you open a jewel case in any of your record store videos, so I figured they may be empty. Always great to see your music haul, plus some sights and sounds of the city. Very cool...
CD are in the jewel cases so you can check the quality of the disc before buying. I don’t open them mostly because one hand is working the camera and the other is holding the CD except when I prop up the camera for the occasional filming that shows me in the video.
@@BrendonSnyder Any unsealed CD should be examined at Bookoff, it's sad to see the damage on many of them. As I wrote earlier I have found several empty cases. They seem to have reduced many CDs to $5 lately.
If you like the New Wave sound which I think you do I think that you would like AFI and their latest few albums. They started out as Hardcore and then went Horror Punk and then Emo and now New Wave. They always evolve In a good way. I don't hear you talking about punk much except Ramones, Misfits and proto punk like MC5. I think you may enjoy The Damned. They started punk and evolved a bit going Goth and back to punk. They toured back in the day with Marc Bolen of Trex and with Motorhead. You may even like The Buzzcocks.. Just a few bands that I think you may like.. )^_-)/
I’m familiar with AFI and do have one of their albums.
@@BrendonSnyder Yeah I think that you would really like the last two albums that they did Brendon. They are very New Wavey! Listen on TH-cam to their newer stuff. They always post New videos on their TH-cam page.. )^_-)/ As far as The Damned goes I believe GNR covered New Rose which is cool but they have many more cool songs. The Misfits were very inspired by early Damned music.. And The Buzzcocks are very pop punk way before pop punk. With a little bit of Joy Division thrown in.. You may like them. I kinda dig 70's glam and punk. NWOBHM and 80's UK-82 bands.. Mainly GBH who used to be Changed GBH. You probably never heard of them but imagine Motorhead meats the Sex Pistols .. Anyways yeah.. The New Saxon is awesome.. And actually the new Def Leopard song is really good! I've always loved T-Rex and DL is really hitting that sound on the new song! Keep rOcKin' my friend.. )^_-)/
Does Book off store carry original record pressings? I see you showed a few but all of them looked like common stuff.
Not sure if it’s worth traveling up to midtown, I’m not really into cds. If you know of any other record stores located in Manhattan uptown, let me know, I don’t like stores like Rough Trade, I prefer more like A 1 records or Academy on 12th street east village. I already know all five of them below 23rd street…😊
Another great video, Brandon - with more terrible in store music playing! 😢
Thanks for this video. What is average price of Vinyls in Book Off ?
It seemed like a lot of it was around $5
Looks like normal times at the MET.
Things are slowly getting back to normal here in NYC.
Hello Brendon. This isn’t about your video but it’s right up your alley. I’m moving to Florida from New York at the end of the year and have approximately 1200 cds and really do not want to bring them with me. Perhaps you know someone who would take them off my hands for a fair price. Please let me know one way or the other. Mostly rock.
No sorry I just make the videos. But maybe someone reading the comments will be interested and reach out. Good luck with your move!
James, i would be interested in talking over your cd collection as i am in NC on your way down to FL
@@jacks2start271 Hello, unfortunately I will not be able to transport them so that’s why I am trying to sell them in New York before I leave. Thanks for your interest though.
Oh.. by the way, what ever happend with the “long boxes”? And do second hand stores ever carry them?
The long boxes were created as a way to make it harder to steel CDs. The box was bigger than what someone could stick down their pants. They were eliminated for reusable plastic holders the size of long boxes. But eventually done away with when it cost more to prevent the steeling of the CD than what the CD was worth.
@@BrendonSnyder The record store bins were made for LPs so the long boxes with the album designs or plastic frames used later raised the CD to make it visible to browsers. Eventually they decided vertical shelves were adequate for just jewel cases. I do find empty cases sometimes at Bookoff. I saw a CD in a sealed long box recently at Generation Records.
Mello Music Group has been releasing some of their cds in long boxes again.
👍

What is your favourite song?
How did I get here?
any grateful dead or zeppellin bootlegs
The store doesn’t knowingly stock bootlegs. None that I’ve seen anyway.
Just buy a pack of empty jewel cases!?
Yes I don’t get that either. I am sure Brendon would be able to buy a fresh pack of shiny new jewel cases for effectively what he’s paying for 5-6 second hand CDs with second hand jewel cases and unwanted CD music/sleeves.
The current jewel cases that are sold are so cheap and flimsy they aren’t worth it. I like the old school very durable much stronger jewel cases. So I buy the $1.50 CDs to get those.
@@BrendonSnyder given the size of your collection have you ever considered getting rid of jewel cases and buying cd sleeves, I've done so myself just to shrink my collection it's getting unmanageable.
@@BrendonSnyder A good point 👍🏻🙂 It is understood for us also 🙂 And if there is a good album on a disc packed in a "those days" firm jewel case made from normal plastic at USD 1.50 shelves like in this store where I could find something interesting for me for sure, it is a great deal ☝🏻🙂
