I've bought so many of these at your recommendation and I've been thrilled with every single one. Thank you!

Your informed perspective is seriously helpful.

I don’t buy records anymore, am 69 years old and I’ve passed my 2,000 odd LP’s to my son, it’s a great collection, started buying LP’s from 1963 to the late 1980’s or so, interesting take on the current market for albums, it’s so different from my day. I think it was more fun buying records back in my time when the actual music was made and you could see the artists live! Never heard of albums at 45 rpm kinda weird for me, but I guess it’s business for you guys! I have a single of Sidewinder by Woody Herman great track, also Ken Nordine Colours is a great talking Jazz album! Love the Doors, listen to Moonlight Drive my fave song and the first song they wrote!

I began watching this having no idea how great this video would be. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I used to own a small collection of vinyl which has disappeared over the years. Recently, I have considered getting back into collecting. I had no idea. Superb information here. I listened to this twice through. That’s how much I valued the information. Thank you!

Wow. I will come back to this episode for years. Thanks!

this is the place where you learn what version of records sound best. thank you mike from the in-groove. you are doing us a great service.

This video has completely revolutionized the way I look at records. Thank you.

I actually watched this entire video and also spent €500+ on the way to the end to play on my new system that is on the way. Thank you for doing this and taking the time. Super interesting and I learned a lot. Greetings from southern Bavaria!

People get their workouts in while watching sports or the news. I’m fairly certain I’m the only one on a treadmill watching this and making mental notes about what I need to buy next. I love a great “list” video, and this one was excellent.

I love catching up on this site. It brings a smile to your face on a dark and cold UK winters night, and I want some of these.Thank you Mike.

Eagerly awaiting the 2022 rendition. Good vid.

This has been a fun listen! I can't agree more about the joy brought by Blue Note. And not just the popular stuff, but the Duke Pearsons, Bobbi Humphrees, etc.

Hey Mike, I appreciate the time spent here to share with us - a super informative hang-out. I know you've been doing this a long time, but if I could offer only one note: please HOLD THE RECORD STILL A FEW SECONDS LONGER (while you're talking) AND LET US SEE IT.

I must admit I know very little about Jazz, but I watched this to educate myself. I learned a lot. I never knew different labels put out the same records in different variations. I don't know about mastering or pressing plants or engineers or differences between 45-33 presses, but this video made me want to know more. I'd love o see a video specifically about mastering, engineers and pressing plants for novices. Also would love to know more about tracks and tape reels that you mention. I knew digital recordings are compressed and inferior and lack warmth, but I would like to know more. You seem extremely knowledgeable, which is why I watched a two hour video about records I mostly never heard of. I will be checking out your other vids. I'd like to see a video like this, but about classic rock and 80s metal. I know there are different pressings of some of them as well. Many 80s metal records originals are hard to find, and expensive, and I know some reissues are digital from the CDs. As a big Metalhead I'd like to know the best versions to get, and where to find them. I'm leary of buying used records on eBay or Discogs. Record stores typically charge a lot for used and new metal, not really sure why. I wish a label would put out quality $20-$30 classic Metal (and Thrash) albums. The same applies to 80s Punk, hard o find affordable good copies, and many were not recorded great. Would love to hear really good sounding 80s Punk. One more thing: You mention all these labels and versions, but where do I find them. Would be nice to see an actual list with information. Do you have a website with that information? Thanks, you are not an arrogant, snarky vinyl snob like some guys that make vids, I detest that I'm smarter than you, my collection is better and I'm a show off attitude. Some store owners are like that as well. You seem like a cool dude that would talk music with me if I came into your store. Peace.

Thanks for making this Mike. Appreciate the time you've taken out of your holidays to put this together. This is really brilliant.. many, many thanks! (And yes, Sam records is rather special, Fred's doing a super job!!!)

Oh! Cant wait to watch this later... Thank you Mike you have made 2021 interesting...

So many great records in the video. I'm glad that 2 LP version of Rumours is back in print. I agree that even if you're not a big fan of that era of the band, that particular pressings is a must listen.

It's great to watch your video. I'm just getting back into LPs after an almost 40 year hiatus; I'm REALLY glad I kept my LP collection (in the thousands) AND my 78's (almost a thou). I'm researching system components (separates) and hope to be able to do credible transfers to CD for me, then maybe selling the LPs!

Incredible video Mike! Thanks for all the info. I eill add that Van Morrisons Moondance is now cut from a digital file by kevin gray. The original tapes are in too bad of shape now. The AAA version is out of print now...think it was done in 2008

This video taught me one thing If you want all analogue pressings but you don't dig Jazz, you're shit outta luck.

Thanks Mike. These videos are great and really helpful.

*Names several MoFi releases* Welp...

You're single-handedly making want to explore jazz records

Good video.When I saw the 2 hour time I thought oh-no. But the content was solid. Well done

Hi Mike, watching this video has turned me on to the way you store your records. Makes so much sense; resealable jacket cover, records in back in nice QRP or MoFi sleeves. Could you tell me what brand of resealable jacket covers do you use? Thanks! 🙏

Great Video. ( I watch em all and buy from you often. ) Love your store and your forthrightness about challenging & touchy record subjects, such as....... death metal cover art fonts! ( lol ) Took me over a month to work my way through the whole video. This morning, I finally finished it. Fantastic mega-work here. Thanks again.

This is the first time I've watched your Channel. I've subscribed because you are a wealth of information and musical knowledge for the vinyl LP. Even as a long time record collector, and having quite a bit of knowledge myself, I felt out of sync with a lot of what you were talking about, because I dropped out of record buying from about the mid-80s, until around the early 2000's. I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the new record pressing techniques and labels, but it was fun to hear you speak of them and learn about it. Like your father I'm a huge Elvis fan and have many of his albums. I'm a rocker, but when it comes to Elvis, his gospel is some of my favorite music. I'm a "Doors" fan like you and I may look into the Analogue Productions. Also the Bowie album. What really blew me away, is that some Living Stereo production albums are valuable. I've passed up many over the years. I live in an area, basically in the woods, where the public bought Pop, Classical, but mostly Country music. I bring that up only because of the hundreds of Living Stereo albums that I"ve passed up over the years, for about a dollar a pop, at the local Antique stores. Fun and very informative video. I don't you'll respond to my comment, since being a Record Store owner and doing Album videos must keep you busy all the time. If you do respond, what is a "tip up" album cover? Is that what I've always called a gatefold album cover?

I love the list. Only a handful are currently available. Quite a few are awaiting repress (good to know) but the majority is financially out of reach for me unfortunately. I did find one on this list for $12 that I did not currently have and was marked down from $30 so just that one record made my day. Too bad they cannot make more $20 - $30 high quality records like you said.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and bet there aren't any ERC LPs on this list. 😉✌️

Great review. Thank you! You need to get Peter Frampton’s new box set from Intervention..outstanding!

Pumped for this list. Thanks!

Mike, this was an outstanding video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the incredible effort in making it. it was a bit expensive for me as well as I ended up buying another 3 records because of this 🙂

Thanks Mike for a really nice video and great information about the vinyls. You are so much better when you stick with the products you sell yourself.👌🏻

Been coming to your store for months and just realized I’ve been watching your KZfaq as well lol

All of the Mofi Dire Straits you show are cut from DSD 256. :(

This is amazing. Thank you so much for doing this. Very informative and helpful. Your knowledge is second to none.

This had to be a lot of work Mike, thanks so much!

Thank you so much for this video this was awesome! Appreciate all the time and effort you put into this it was very informative and helpful!!! I’m gonna watch it again and go through the titles that I don’t have yet and search them out👍👍

I’m sure not all of the Parlophone Bowie reissues are analog, but they are all fantastic. I don’t know where they press, but I have nearly the complete Bowie catalogue on Parlophone and they are flawless. Amazing QC out of wherever they are pressed. Great to know my copy of Ziggy is all analogue.

Love the channel!

What a great gift to the community. Awesome work. Thank you.

OMG Mike, you can actually hear and visualize as the folded-into-an-exacto-knife flap on the resealable outer sleeve of that Ann Peebles LP cutting into the grooves of the record as you slide it back into the jacket!!! Careful Mike!! Thanks for taking the time for this post.

Thank You for this really great video. Your insight are so many and so knowledgeable. You really help bring the music to us...especially people like myself who live way out in the boonies where lp stores don't exist. The Yusef Lateef lp blew me away...feel very lucky to have found a new one for just over 200. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Ryan K. Smith is a young man in his 30s I believe, maybe 40s ! He was mentored by the late great "George Marino" , excellent engineer! 👏

Wanna get drunk? Watch this video and take a shot everytime Mike says "Kevin Gray" or "Bernie Grundman" LOL

Great info !! Thanks Mike for taking the time to make this !

I just discovered you. I ordered The Doors Soft Parade from your eBay store after watching this vid. I also started checking out jazz you recommend. Thanks man.

I just purchased Somethin' Else and no non-fill, no warp, very quiet pressing. Kevin Grey's mastering is consistently excellent like Mike says.

Thanx Mike, very interesting two hours, very entertaining. I'm missing only the 45 rpm of Ted Nugent-same. Stranglehold is unbelieveable.

Really enjoying your videos! The Vinyl Vault watching from across the pond.

Thank you Michael. This took a long time. It shows. Your passion and that you care. Thank you for mentioning Lynyrd skynyrd free bird. I stopped the video and listened to it. Unbelievable! Continue to point us in the right direction. Thank you also for your dignified response to the negative comments after a remarkable job at MOFI. Finally, thank you for your honesty. When all has been said about MOFI, it is a fact that mostly, the sound is great!! Thank you.

Just spent over four hours with this video adding them to my Discogs wantlist! I can't tell you how much I loved this video! Thanks so much for all of the information!

So glad to see that Cranberries LP was done by Analog Spark. For one or two reissues, Plain Recordings was releasing Cranberries albums, and I can't think of two worse sounding albums than the two reissues by Plain that I had the misfortune of purchasing. Your videos are always excellent, Mike. Thank you for being an incredible resource.

I got Nevermind and I followed your advice and did NOT get the anniversary edition...good lord...blowing my mind right now, even through a basic setup. Thanks for the advice!

Congrats for the list Mike! Awesome! Missing some of them, for the next while hahaha

Thank you sir for taking the time to do this list. There are some real musical treasures here.

Your recommendations are a god send good sir. Many thanks 👍🏼

I don't think I will go back to records as I buy only CDs.I will say it was/is great listening and learning from you.

The 24 minute mark was unintentionally hilarious to me! “Huuuh…we’re going” I fully appreciate RSD and the new customers it brings to stores. But man…these are really niche albums. It just becomes a list of word salad after a while. Thanks for doing the video all the same!

Mike, many thanks for giving of your vast knowledge and expertise. Much appreciated

When I first started getting into vinyl, I read websites about RCA's Living Stereo recordings. I bought a few, and while they were good, it wasn't until I upgraded my system that I realized how GOOD the recording engineers were at the time. There are so many to recommend, but -- like you -- I am not a classical music fan. However, "The Music From Peter Gunn" and Harry Belafonte at Carnegie Hall" are great starting points. They can also be had for peanuts...

Gillian Welch's studio albums on vinyl are all analogue too. They sound fantastic and I'd highly recommend them. Harrow and the Harvest has been sold out for a couple of years now, but a reissue is coming at the end of February!

A man for the people. Another fantastic and informative video.

Thanks for doing this Mike, I am not sure if you seen my comment the other day but I asked for records under £30 that sound great. You have included quite a few.

Great list! Thanks for putting this together.

I'm with you 99% on The Doors. I adore them, and they sound sensational. Shame Strange Days isn't as good sounding as the others. I still think it sounds nice, though. Strange Days is a top 10 album for me and my favourite by the band, following by L.A. Woman.

The way we enjoy music all comes down to how you were introduced to it, and I’ll never fathom how someone can find the recording quality of a guitar solo more important than the melody it’s playing

I know you are not that big of a Zappa, but they are analogue records and sound INCREDIBLE, all of them!

Im from mn but if i move to az, im gonna go an tey to get a job working for you.You seem like the coolest audiophile geek that i love to be around.Id probably learn something everyday.

Mike you need to add Dave Matthews Band Crash to your list. Super vinyl quiet, almost one-step sound from a 33. AAA Bellman cut

The Dolphy title is out on Prestige also Mike. Hopefully they will all start coming out quicker now. My biggest "Why did I sleep on those?" moments. So stoked they are coming back in print.

The My Bloody Valentine analogue cuts are great for those interested.

Ya know... given the MoFi DSD fiasco and just the general vagueness with all vinyl record releases, how do we really know if any of the stuff is "All Analog"??? Unless they specifically state the process going from master tape all the way to the pressing then its a crap shoot. Calling it "sourced from original master tapes" or even "remastered from the original master tapes" doesn't mean much now. Or do we know that MoFi were the only ones doing that?

This was such an exceptional video - really great!

Great list MIke, thank you!. By the way, I'd love to hear your opinion on the Original Jazz Classics (OJC) editions of the Prestige/Contemporary catalogue. I think those are an excellent entry into AAA vinyl, those Miles Davis and Coltrane Prestige albums sound killer, and they are super cheap. They also have all those BIll Evans Riverside records in print, they even come with a nice polyline sleeve. Also, when doing another Kind Of Blue shootout, please include the Sony Legacy Mono (originally a Record Store Day release), mastered by Kevin Gray, it sounds great, a good addition to a great sounding stereo version like the UHQR.

I'm glad you bought the album.Happy spinning.

You are a BALDY LEGEND MATE 😂

Great as always, thank you.

One of my two favorite bands of all times! I'm on board for audiophile pressings definitely at an affordable price! It will happen one day I'm sure. I just hope that when it happens they do it right and it sounds spectacular 😁 BTW, today is 7/25 and Led Zeppelin played their last American show on 7/24/77. It was at the Oakland Coliseum and they left from there to go back home because Robert Plant's son died. So this is almost the 50th anniversary of that sad incident. It will be in four more years. Brian in Fort Worth 🎶

Got a record player for Christmas. Started looking into the why around vinyl. Now that I've researched this more it feels bit like falsehoods driving consumerism. Not only that but apparently the gift I was given will destroy the records I haven't purchased yet? Fun stuff here!

Can we get a 2022 edition of this video. Love this !

Always enjoy your videos.

Just bought the Scheherazade on your recommendation. Thanks Mike!

I'm glad that 2 LP version of Rumours is back in print.

According to a Reddit post, David Bowie Ziggy Stardust is not from analogue tapes anymore.

Awesome content! Would love to hear your cool jazz and jazz funk genre suggestions.

Eric Dolphy - Outward Bound was another Prestige title back in stock from Analogue Productions on 200 Gram Vinyl

I’ve been collecting records since the late 90s. Only because I like old things and I thought maybe they’ll be worth money one day. So I’ve always collected them when I found them or had a chance. Fast forward to 2018 a buddy of mine who looks and sounds exactly like this guy. He got me into vinyl and back to collecting. I love it. It’s by far the best hobby I’ve gotten into. However, mike here got me into “sound” and quality. I listen to hardcore metal, metal, jazz, 90s pop (little bit) 90s rap, classic rock, 90s electronic. And a few more genres here and there. Now the last 2 years or so I go for better quality, better sounding records.

I received the Nirvana album and the sound is amazing!

Soul Journey is another Acony Gillian Welch reissue that's amazing.

A hundred is a content of one(!) of the cells behind you sir ;) That’s for a case people think that’s alot... You visible vinyl library is twice larger than my digital one. You’re in heaven )

The list is missing some Zappa and Grateful Dead titles..

Great video, thanks Mike.

Just a heads up that the orig UK Buddy Holly Lps sound FANTASTIC! No injected plastic here. Hard to find in decent condition cos we love him over here and they got played a lot.

Another great video! Thank you!!

This is a vinyl master class, thanks much!

Ill bet that Tea for the Tillerman behind you in the rack sounds great

I grabbed "Blow Up" about 20 years ago on a trip to Hawaii. It's pretty awesome.

Mike, which of the big stores(walmart,target,etc.) black or colored vinyl issues of Nirvana's Nevermind have/used the original analog tape source that sounds great and better then the anniversary pressing as you've mentioned before?
