CD Community Forever!

As a 21 year old I naturally grew up with CD and as such the first music I got as a very young child in the early to mid 2000s was on that format. So of couse despite how much I appreciate vinyl CDs still have sentimentality to me just as vinyl records will have to someone who grew up with them.

Hi Mazzy, My love with CDs and box sets began in 1986 and I have never relinquished... and never ceased. Wow, love to finally getting up close and personal with your CD wall. Unbelievable all encompassing CD collection. I am standing by my earlier claim that you are a Renaissance man. A man for all seasons and genres. God bless and keep well, angel of the VC and CD community, Tino

Spectacular collection. Thumbs way up! Trish

love that you love CD's as well as vinyl, my two fave and most often listened as far as music, also my most collected, but I stream a bit (lower quality than vinyl or cd) and have a small amount of cassettes. People think CD's are dead. Not at Mazzy's house, or mine and like everything else, they will make a comeback.

Hi Mazzy, amazing Compact Disc collection! Glad you don’t ignore them like most everyone else seems to be doing these days. So happy you mentioned Michael Penn, what an underrated artist. I love all of his albums but probably Resigned is my favorite. His wife is not too shabby herself. Jellyfish, World Party, REM, Elvis Costello and XTC are some other highlights for me. Long live CD’s! Take care. - Matt

Pre 1985 I had amassed a substantial vinyl collection.....post 1985 I have been a cd guy....mostly for convenience......storage....rippability.....I do miss cover art etc. But I really like cd box sets etc.....currently waiting for Van Morrison live 1973 2 , 3 and 4.....just picked up the Donovan 1965 cd.....great sound!......very cool cd collection......its nice to see someone else who can go from King Crimson to Norman Blake to Mose Allison............

Ah, The video I have been waiting for! Mentioned to you before I am a cd guy. First CDs back in 1983. Made mistake of selling 1000 about 14 years ago, but have bought most back since then. Still the "best" format. Collection back up to about 2200 now. Thanks for the Vid.

I’m 40 and I was buying vinyl when I was a kid bc it was cheaper than CDs. I had spindles of CDs strummed all over. I totally agree on the box sets and bonus. Awesome stuff bud.

Where’s the Deep Purple and Uriah Heep

I put off getting into CD s until 1990 when I could no longer buy vinyl. Once Columbia Record Club went CD I was screwed. When I jumped I with CD I did in a big way I bought a billion CDs but I never sold any albums. That Flamin Groovie box set is super cool along with the Gainsbourg. Nice selection Mazzy.

I love both. I don't care much for downloads. Except for rare remixes. Back into vinyl.

I’m giving up Zzzyyquil and watching this every night instead.

Great to see that you have Pete Ham’s CD， an underrated artist that many people has forgotten , what a pity.

Amazing taste, so versatile!

Love your CD collection. I usually play mine in the car, but sometimes at home too. Still buy em every now and then. Just bought A Love Supreme The Complete Masters double CD. Check out Lili Anel’s CDs. I think you’ll like her! 👍😎

That Fuzzy Warbles set is a must, that coupled with Coat of Many Cupboards. Love XTC. Great collection!

Our opinions and history with cds are very similar. First cd in my collection is Abba, too. I wonder how many alphabetical collections begin with Abba and end with ZZ Top...

Thanks for posting. Really enjoyed seeing what you have. Gonna get a few of those box sets i seen. Thanks.

What a fantastic cd collection mazzy,I like vinyl too but as with CDs you get good and bad vinyl.think it's the extra tracks that you get on cd that keeps me purchasing them, though if I could afford it would have both formats.my taste is overwhelmingly blues orientated which is half my collection.great video great collection and great channel.top marks to you for sharing all the music you love.

Wonderful video. My cd collection looks very similar but not as diverse. My record collection has a large hole from 1986 to about 2010 when I thought cds were the thing. Sometimes they were but when they first started rereleasing old lps in the digital format they often didn't take much care and I would end up buying the record. I'm not a cd snob; I just wanted to have the music.

Nice collection...some really great stuff there. I am surprised you don't have anything by the Aussie band The Church. Starfish (with Under the Milky Way) was their big hit. I recommend also the albums Heyday, Priest=Aura and After Everything Now This. And never apologize for Tori Amos or Enya...they are amazing!

Amazing collection, you have many there I’d like to pick up. Not sure if you had any Peter, Paul and Mary but their A Song Will Rise I play regularly.

I grew up with vinyl in the 70's and I still have most of them. But when cds came out I never looked back and continue to buy them.

My first CD was McCartney's Flowers In The Dirt back in 89 and it still plays perfectly. I learnt pretty quickly that you have to care for them like vinyl so they play without skipping. It's one of my OCD things is to keep them in mint condition, so no scratches or fingerprints. :) I never let them out of the house, ha ha! I must admit I prefer jewel cases to the shitty mini LP cardboard sleeves that are about now. It's an amazing collection of music Mazzy you have on CD and Vinyl, a very eclectic bunch of music indeed. The nerd in me noticed that in your ELO collection Discovery, Time, my fav, Secret Messages, and Balance OF Power seemed to be absent from your shelf, what gives? :)

Nice CD collection. I didn't see any Nils Lofgren or Grin albums. He was very popular in the UK in 1970s. I couldn't understand why he ended up as a member of Springsteen's backing band. Nils was a star in his own right.

Love to see cd‘s for a change on community KZfaq channels 👌🏼, but such a huge collection would simply overwhelm me 😲

I love my CDs, but enjoy watching the personalities of the Vinyl community. Since vinyl has exploded you find all the latest news via the VC.

love your collection mazzy...i am indeed of a certain age, and sadly sold off alot of my vinyl simply due to moving around from state to state, rather than my love for cds...in fact, i never liked cds, but unfortunately, if you wanted the latest van morrison or tina vero or tracy chapman or whoever you liked, you had to sacrifice your preference and buy a cd because there were no vinyl versions available....it wasn't until the mid 90's that i finally gave into buying a cd player and my car at the time had one, so it became inevitable...but...if something was readily available on vinyl, that was what i would purchase....be well mazzy...peace always...rocky

Wonderful video Mazzy, when I first started watching the VC , I thought oh man I just gotta by vinyl, to the exclusion of cd’s. It really doesn’t work like that though does it, I’m the same age as you more or less and in reality it’s all about the Music. Get it and enjoy it anyway you can, in any media, I’m truly not a vinyl snob, I have far to many cd’s for that, I fuckin’ love your channel, just an amazing knowledgeable and funny man. Be safe and Peace. Tony

Nice to see some Matthew Sweet appreciation.

CDs, minidiscs,vinyl, cassettes,reel to reel for ever .

The lesson should be don't sell your cds off either. You'll regret it too.

Wow - what a nice CD-collection/maybe not one bad item shown here! But now I am convinced that you really need the remaster of Sam Brown's "43 Minutes ..." in your collection, if it is not on your shelf by now! All the best ...

Love the video Mas, I am 52 yrs old, used to buy vinyl in my younger days, but i am strictly Cd's right now, maybe I need to get on the vinyl van wagon again. I love your fedora hats, I also like wear fedoras, and western hats. I got a few Stetson, Brixton, and Groorin Bros fedora hats. Take care buddy.

Hey, not so fast past that Alice Cooper box set buddy!

Hi Mazzy. I will watch this video tonight. Quick question. Have you had time to listen to Orville Peck's album yet? After seeing your SF video, I went ahead and bought the LP on Amazon. Absolutely love it! What a voice. Also, I like your long videos best. Can't get enough of them! How about another episode with Eric Weinberger? Really enjoyed that episode.

God forgive me...I'm gonna be That Guy: "Well, actually..." that Doughboys, Playboys and Cowboys set at the end is a very sweet collection of golden era western swing, not really cowboy music. I'ma kook for western swing and other than pretty much every Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys box sets one could really get away with just that "Doughboys" box as the only western swing collection you need. Cheers for a great channel, Norman! I just found you a couple days ago looking for a good classic jazz vlog and I've been delighted with your posts. Thanks, from a former Seattleite.

Partner was born in 1981 and she been a cd person since

Partner loves fleetwood mac

Man, you have The Downward Spiral and it looks like Ghost I-IV by NIN but no Pretty Hate Machine or The Fragile or Broken? I thought you liked music?

Let US all be one, included in your collection of course...or so I hope Maslov (Moreamor) you have... Shema!!!.

Mazzy, that is a lot of exceptions. You would think that that would limit you, but not the case. Sorry, I had to pause you to go listen to, about half, of the John Martyn "Church With One Bell" album. Pretty good! Some of the titles look familiar from your vinyl videos. What percent do you think are straight reissues, or is most everything remastered or bonus tracks? 20%? Thanks, Chris

Simplesmente fantástica sua coleção! Parabens! Abraços do Brasil. Queria ver um room tour completo da sua sala e seu setup!

Any Folk Implosion in there Mazz??

How's that Stones deluxe Marquee 1971? Is that the one with Brussels Affair included? And what about that Traveling Wilburys set? I have that, but it's a digipack that folds out with two CDs and 1 DVD. Is yours something different or just different packaging? Wow, I want that Doc & Merle Watson set! I've seen that at Silver Platters, but it's pricey. Love Warren Zevon. Really impressive, Norman. Great video. Thanks!

Very nice collection but I would've like to see them all, too many skips. Could have been in several small videos. So many interesting CDs.

I have Danger Mouse grey album on vinyl never knew it was on CD

Another great video Mazzy. I know you didnt feature your jazz cd's in this one but Was wondering if you had any Jessica Williams in your collection. I think she lives in your general area. Great pianist.

Mazzy do you use a SACD player to spin all those Rolling Stones SACD's? Impressive collection indeed.

One important overlooked CD advantage- unless you are elvis presley, you can't play your vinyl in the car!

I'm rather enjoying your videos.

I like Glass' Mishima.

The French say „Choisir, c‘est renoncer“: taste means choosing carefully. Your collection is superb, but there do not seem to be any discernible limits, it‘s like the complete HMV-CD section or a private Vigin-Megastore ...

CD haters should try using a transport with digital out and a newer DAC such as a Topping E30. Interesting CDs are readily available and are a lot less fuss than vinyl. Not dead yet!

Wow - really impressive - no Wishbone Ash????

Bruce Springsteen she loves

Partner likes genesis with phil Collins

Okay Mazzy, I am going to bite, why is Pete Townshend your arch nemesis? Nice collection of collections, thanks for sharing your madness.

Elton John he is great

Mas, is there any music you don't have? lol. Amazing Cd collection!

I will be filing the Tori Amos lawsuit here in Federal Court in the Eastern district of Tenn…

What's wrong with tori amos?

I know Kundun.

She loves madonna she got all her albums

its all music

Mazzy! You know Keely Smith? I'm sure I love you.

WHY NOT EMPHASISE 2 BIG PLUSES THAT ARE RARELY MENTIONED? SOUND. ANALOG VS DIGITAL CAN BE DEBATED MORE ABOUT PERSONAL PREFERENCE. BUT AFTER THAT ITS ALL DOWNHILL FOR VINYL. CD. BETTER GRAPHICS AND LINER NOTES. LAST OF THE COLLECTIBLE HANDSON FORMATS BEFORE STREAMING. STREAMING IS A JOKE. NOT A FANS INTEREST. BUT THE BIG 2 ARE PORTABILITY. CAN'T PLAY AN LP IN THE CAR. NEED TO COPY IT. EITHER ON TAPE OR IN SOME KIND OF FILE. NO NEED FOR THIS WITH CD. AND UNLESS YOU HAVE A ROOM YOU CAN DEDICATE TO YOUR LP COLLECTION,TRY STORING 1000 OR MORE LPS. CRATES ANDBUCKLING WALL SHELVES. WITH CDS YOU CAN ADAPT BASIC FREE STANDING BOOKSHELVES TO ACCOMODATE YOUR 1000 PLUS COLLECTION. IVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR OVER 30 YEARS. FINE IN A STUDIO APARTMENT. TRY DOING THAT IN SMALL QUARTERS WITH A BIG VINYL COLLECTION.

Distortion of vinyl records is an indisputable fact, why listen to vinyl records?
