  1. Dillon, Dillon, Dillon… Dearest Dillon! 20 years ago was a golden age for techno and house record stores, AND vinyl releases! In big cities, you would have at lesst a dozen shops specialized in that, only selling new releases, with two new arrival days a week, which was like going to a big church with not enough seats. I understand why you would overlook that, but, damn! Love you, just thought some ball breaking was in order 😉 Experimental music was pretty good as well when it came to vinyl. Almost everything truely indie also always existed on wax. Love all your points, and let's do a library video sometime ^^ Bisou

  2. its even hard to find a rerelease of khavas jute, tim gaze on guitar, got the cd but i have a big colection of early 70s oz stuff on vinyl and i want it on vinyl, man there is some great OZ rock from that period……got a lot of stuff on infinity which along with mushroom released a lot of our underground ?counterculture bands….im annoyed i didnt grab a vinyl copy when it got rereleased aboout 10 years ago, but i was probably thinking i could find an original, they do turn up, rarely though, but ive found some very rare stuff like Galadriel, another very hard to find oz band, and the first two dragon albums, i paid about a buck for galadriel and universal radio by dragon. i nearly fell over when i found the dragon one in an op shop (charity shop), id been fantasizing about doing that, LOL you never know what you might find.

  3. I know it's a bit morbid to say, and probably why you didn't mention it, but another reason originals of some of the more obscure stuff is becoming available is because the owners are passing away. They bought these as kids and now they're hitting their late 70s and early 80s. Their kids have no interest in the hobby so the collections get sold off for cheap or donated once they find out that the asking price on eBay is not what they sell for. Does kind of suck for collectors watching their value dip a bit, but it is also kind of nice to have access to some of it.

  4. My favorite 90's purchase…
    Chris Whitley's Dirt Floor.
    45 RPM, 200 gram, sounds like he's playing in the room. Went to his show at 1st Ave in MPLS, and he autographed the cd version
    (easier to carry). Not for sale.

  5. I never got rid of my vinyl (LPs/45s) I bought and inherited from my parents/grandparents over the decades. Back in the day, I'd buy the vinyl, record it to a good quality blank cassette for general listening, and put the vinyl on the shelf. Thus the records are still in great shape. The few I have I never re-purchased on CD because they weren't ever reissued or I never bought the reissue, I'm digitizing those, since new record players are available. My old one died ages ago. Discogs has filled holes in my "Homer and Jethro" collection, and cheaply, and I've digitized the old records.

  6. Great video as always Dillion, appreciate the time and passion you put into all of your videos. Hands down the best quote of the video…"Turd Labels", you get what you pay for! agreed! Still funny how you said it. I have purchased some of those Jazz turd label re-issues where the label is already peeling up on a new purchase.

  7. I’ve always been a collector of CDs because my stepdad had a massive collection. I’m currently stationed overseas with no music stores to be found within 100 miles, but what sparked my love for records was buying a batch of CDs from discogs, and I accidentally bought a picture record of Bob Seger’s Stranger in Town. It arrived and I was like…What am I going to do with this? I only kept it because I love that album. My buddy came over and didn’t care for the CDs, but the first thing he noticed was Bob Seger, and we started talking about it. I never knew having that record was a way to show love and appreciation in a way that can be truly noticed. Not in a million years would we have had that conversation if it was a cd and not a record. There’s something different about collecting records compared to collecting CDs once I started. More excitement and more appreciation for the music. It’s a rabbit hole that I gladly will continue to fall face first down.
