Signals From Mars – Episode 398 – Vinyl Haul

1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:07,680
Welcome one and all to episode 398 of Signals for Mars. I’m your host Victor

2
00:00:07,680 –> 00:00:13,600
and this is the first solo show in a very very long time. Yeah I like to be

3
00:00:13,600 –> 00:00:17,840
surrounded by my friends talking about all types of music and different things

4
00:00:17,840 –> 00:00:24,040
but this was an episode in the making for some for quite a while. I’m stumbling

5
00:00:24,040 –> 00:00:30,840
over words here. It is my vinyl hall. Here we go.

6
00:00:54,040 –> 00:01:03,520
I used to do a thing on Patreon where it would be a vinyl album of the week and

7
00:01:03,520 –> 00:01:08,840
it’s kind of like this episode but what I would do is just showcase one album. I

8
00:01:08,840 –> 00:01:15,160
would read down all the details where it was recorded, who produced it, singles

9
00:01:15,160 –> 00:01:19,760
off of the album, what it was known for and I’d show off the vinyl. I know that

10
00:01:19,760 –> 00:01:25,200
there’s a lot of people out there that prefer the standard black vinyl because

11
00:01:25,200 –> 00:01:31,560
supposedly it sounds better, so on and so forth. Listen I love music, I love vinyl,

12
00:01:31,560 –> 00:01:37,080
I’m not an over-the-top audio file that’s gonna sit there and say yeah this

13
00:01:37,080 –> 00:01:43,960
one that’s black. Here you can hear these frequencies that you can’t on the

14
00:01:43,960 –> 00:01:51,560
colored or pictured disc. Not me guys, sorry. I’m sure that exists, I’m not gonna

15
00:01:51,560 –> 00:01:59,000
doubt people but my hearing is so messed up that it’s funny being somebody

16
00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:06,160
that’s been using hearing aids now for six months. Hearing stuff in songs I’m

17
00:02:06,160 –> 00:02:10,200
not talking about remastered and remixed things, I’m talking about mixes that

18
00:02:10,200 –> 00:02:16,240
I’ve heard all my life and hearing things for the first time or the first

19
00:02:16,240 –> 00:02:21,680
time in a long time thinking wow why’d they mix that out of this song and it

20
00:02:21,680 –> 00:02:30,600
turns out no your ears are so messed up that you weren’t hearing that. I also

21
00:02:30,600 –> 00:02:40,080
don’t have the setup. My hi-fi lovey is not as luxurious as what other people

22
00:02:40,080 –> 00:02:45,160
may have. Yeah my setup isn’t all that great. I’m hoping to remedy that soon

23
00:02:45,160 –> 00:02:50,280
but fact of the matter is I don’t have a great turntable, I don’t have a great

24
00:02:50,280 –> 00:02:58,680
amplifier, I get by with what I have and I’m not at the point where it’s

25
00:02:58,680 –> 00:03:10,600
gonna make that much of a difference for me between the standard vinyl

26
00:03:10,600 –> 00:03:16,400
and the color door picture disc. So yeah so essentially what I did here, originally

27
00:03:16,400 –> 00:03:20,800
I was just gonna do the vinyl albums that I picked up in the States. I was

28
00:03:20,800 –> 00:03:27,080
like well can I get an hour out of that? And then I thought okay well I bought a

29
00:03:27,080 –> 00:03:32,760
bunch of stuff before I went to the States okay but as I’m opening that

30
00:03:32,760 –> 00:03:37,000
stuff up for the episode I’m like wait a second but I have this other stuff as

31
00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:42,520
well that I bought a few months back maybe I should show that off as well. So

32
00:03:42,520 –> 00:03:46,400
there are things that I picked up in 2003, things that I picked up this year

33
00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:51,480
as well. I just wanted to share it with you. I know that there are a lot of vinyl

34
00:03:51,480 –> 00:04:00,120
lovers out there, collectionists, people that like picking up all this stuff and

35
00:04:00,120 –> 00:04:04,760
I hope you guys enjoy. This is again the first solo episode that I’ve done a long

36
00:04:04,760 –> 00:04:10,360
time. It was pre-recorded so I didn’t do it on the fly live like I used to

37
00:04:10,360 –> 00:04:19,040

61
00:07:06,360 –> 00:07:10,840
a few months now but I opened it up today so it’s a complete surprise to me

62
00:07:10,840 –> 00:07:22,720
as to what what will be in the actual box set so anyway let’s get things

63
00:07:22,720 –> 00:07:30,240
started with I picked this up a little earlier this year I’ve found a few

64
00:07:30,240 –> 00:07:39,120
different places that I really enjoy going to and this is a shop that I’ve

65
00:07:39,120 –> 00:07:45,240
been ordering plenty of stuff from it’s called long play it’s in a town called

66
00:07:45,240 –> 00:07:53,880
barra caldo which is a suburb of Bilbao Spain in the north and this one of the

67
00:07:53,880 –> 00:07:57,240
first things that I picked up there

68
00:07:57,720 –> 00:08:03,000
I picked up two vinyls I’m trying to remember what the other vinyl was it

69
00:08:03,000 –> 00:08:10,240
may be within this here but I’m not sure and since then I’ve been getting a lot

70
00:08:10,240 –> 00:08:16,160
of mail order stuff from them anyway this isn’t exactly metal but I do love

71
00:08:16,160 –> 00:08:28,760
this album it is smash by the offspring this was a reissue from believe a year

72
00:08:28,760 –> 00:08:34,800
ago or so they had it when we showed up so I picked it up there’s one of the

73
00:08:34,800 –> 00:08:42,080
things that I hate about the live stream are the lights do kind of kill stuff

74
00:08:42,080 –> 00:08:50,160
with the reflection but I’ll do the best that I can it’s just 180 gram black

75
00:08:50,160 –> 00:09:03,640
vinyl I won’t show all of the albums but some I will hear and yeah this is

76
00:09:03,640 –> 00:09:10,400
what got a lot of people into the band stuff like bad habit got to get away and

77
00:09:10,400 –> 00:09:20,320
and obviously come out and play keep them separated so all right here is one

78
00:09:20,320 –> 00:09:26,560
from last year it is code orange

79
00:09:26,560 –> 00:09:36,440
it is the above yeah that’s what I thought couldn’t make it out but all

80
00:09:36,440 –> 00:09:42,760
right above a band that I really enjoy band whose guitarist is currently

81
00:09:42,760 –> 00:09:47,200
playing in Marilyn Manson double gatefold

82
00:09:47,960 –> 00:09:55,600
interesting Mark Striegel talked about how some of the albums that he’s had

83
00:09:55,600 –> 00:10:01,840
forever the reissues of dollar colors

84
00:10:02,840 –> 00:10:13,080
all right wow this is a pretty cool booklet kind of whenever I see this this

85
00:10:13,080 –> 00:10:27,520
is like a a CD booklet that’s been that’s had some growth sprinkles put on

86
00:10:27,520 –> 00:10:32,680
it I don’t know I don’t know how else you would say it Max Portnoy plays on

87
00:10:32,680 –> 00:10:43,560
this Mike Portnoy’s son there is a poster that came with this as well

88
00:10:43,800 –> 00:10:50,400
see we can check out the poster right

89
00:10:50,400 –> 00:11:03,280
here’s the poster is the poster all right bumping the mic that’s never good

90
00:11:07,920 –> 00:11:16,400
is there anything else special about this final let’s see

91
00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:34,320
all right so does their classic logo here this is like a cream color

92
00:11:36,880 –> 00:11:41,920
you make it out that’s a grasshopper

93
00:11:41,920 –> 00:11:48,160
I really enjoy this album

94
00:11:50,760 –> 00:11:57,600
believe it came out last year did this come out this year I did zero research

95
00:11:57,600 –> 00:12:06,400
on this guy’s yeah 2023 says right there all right so we’re gonna string a few

96
00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:16,560
together here because they are from similar bands

97
00:12:17,000 –> 00:12:24,920
so this is Allison Chains jar of flies four times platinum the EP have this on

98
00:12:24,920 –> 00:12:32,840
cassette and I believe I still have it on CD when I saw this was being

99
00:12:32,840 –> 00:12:39,080
reissued I had to have it I mean I love this album I can’t tell you when this

100
00:12:39,080 –> 00:12:50,320
came out how much I listened to this just straight up black vinyl it is

101
00:12:50,320 –> 00:12:57,400
remastered by Toby right I believe

102
00:12:57,400 –> 00:13:05,520
could be wrong with that why did I think another Toby right has worked

103
00:13:07,240 –> 00:13:12,720
produced by Allison Chains engineered and mixed by Toby Ted Trevor tab Taylor

104
00:13:12,720 –> 00:13:21,040
Tony Todd Trent Timothy Tyler Thomas Tilly Terry Tito right so that’s what I

105
00:13:21,040 –> 00:13:23,520
saw there

106
00:13:23,520 –> 00:13:30,560
worldwide management’s Susan Silver that is Chris Cornell’s ex-wife so there you

107
00:13:30,560 –> 00:13:36,520
go jar of flies now another album that I’ve always wanted to have on vinyl I’m

108
00:13:36,520 –> 00:13:44,400
glad they just reissued it it’s black gives way to blue I love everything that

109
00:13:44,400 –> 00:13:48,960
Allison Chains has put out I don’t think that they’ve released a bad album in my

110
00:13:48,960 –> 00:14:02,280
opinion this was their return after so many years of being away it just goes to

111
00:14:02,280 –> 00:14:05,280
show you what

112
00:14:05,720 –> 00:14:11,640
a brand is all about because this is 180 gram it is just black vinyl there’s

113
00:14:11,640 –> 00:14:22,880
really nothing spectacular about it Jerry Cantrell put out some fabulous solo

00:18:59,760 –> 00:19:07,360
Orlando who mostly probably know from adrenaline mob John Bush from two bands

156
00:19:07,360 –> 00:19:13,280
we’re gonna be talking about in a second Jason Bittner of you just left overkill

157
00:19:13,280 –> 00:19:18,640
shadows fall is probably what he’s best known for and then over here we’ve got

158
00:19:18,640 –> 00:19:27,680
mr. Phil Demel best known for violence and machine head so this is the storm

159
00:19:27,680 –> 00:19:37,800
surge variant of this vinyl it comes with the trusty

160
00:19:37,800 –> 00:19:41,200
insert here

161
00:19:41,840 –> 00:19:49,760
as all the lyrics on the back there all right let’s check out this storm surge

162
00:19:49,760 –> 00:19:59,560
all right so here we go this is storm surge or

163
00:20:00,960 –> 00:20:04,280
category seven

164
00:20:05,120 –> 00:20:11,360
cool album check it out has some songs that I’ve been playing on my constant

165
00:20:11,360 –> 00:20:18,360
rotation have made my 2024 playlist something that will be voting on also

166
00:20:18,360 –> 00:20:25,000
towards the end of the year in December we’ll have a special on that again if

167
00:20:25,000 –> 00:20:30,120
you want to appear on those actual shows you need to be a patron so you can do

168
00:20:30,120 –> 00:20:38,600
that for as little as two bucks a month just mentioned John Bush

169
00:20:40,600 –> 00:20:47,880
how about some armored saint this is La Raza when this came out this is the

170
00:20:47,880 –> 00:20:55,040
first album that I interviewed John and Joey for limited edition reissue

171
00:20:55,040 –> 00:21:02,400
remastered for vinyl it is a white black marbled is what it says here covers

172
00:21:02,400 –> 00:21:09,720
completely white so it’s hard to see gotta get there we go all right this is

173
00:21:09,720 –> 00:21:25,560
a single vinyl and let’s see if we can squeeze all this stuff in in an hour if

174
00:21:25,560 –> 00:21:31,960
not we could always hold over and do some more another day but similar to the

175
00:21:31,960 –> 00:21:38,520
category seven I guess it is what metal blade is doing nowadays lyric sheet

176
00:21:38,520 –> 00:21:44,560
here I put everything on an angle interesting does oh yeah the band does

177
00:21:44,560 –> 00:21:48,240
appear I have this on CD as well

178
00:21:48,880 –> 00:21:54,040
I think at this point when hands down is the only album that I don’t have on

179
00:21:54,040 –> 00:22:07,720
final this is the white black marble very cool really good album was a return

180
00:22:07,720 –> 00:22:12,680
for them and they’ve more or less been back since they’re working on new

181
00:22:12,680 –> 00:22:15,400
material now

182
00:22:21,440 –> 00:22:29,120
let’s see the album before this was also reissued it is revelation man this has

183
00:22:29,120 –> 00:22:35,280
some of the greatest guitar crunch out of any album that’s ever been recorded

184
00:22:35,280 –> 00:22:42,720
in my opinion they were using crank amps which dime bag made famous

185
00:22:44,520 –> 00:22:48,520
trying to get you with no glare there

186
00:22:48,960 –> 00:22:55,640
let’s see all right so this is a double vinyl

187
00:22:55,640 –> 00:23:05,160
this what does this have it has a download I didn’t notice if the other

188
00:23:05,160 –> 00:23:13,880
one had a download have it on CD yeah and have it ripped from the CD so I mean

189
00:23:13,880 –> 00:23:21,840
I could still do the download but anyway so this is what I got here for this I

190
00:23:21,840 –> 00:23:28,440
don’t recall the actual name of what this variant is I could probably look it

191
00:23:28,440 –> 00:23:36,720
up on disk odds though let’s see

192
00:23:37,480 –> 00:23:46,040
it’s like a burgundy color if you can tell let’s see I’ve got this cogs open

193
00:23:46,040 –> 00:23:53,320
but this is me okay where’s my collection here we go

194
00:23:56,960 –> 00:24:02,880
okay so armored saint

195
00:24:02,880 –> 00:24:14,720
revelation okay so it’s just as red okay

196
00:24:16,400 –> 00:24:22,920
and as I said we will keep the John Bush festival going here

197
00:24:22,920 –> 00:24:35,560
it is stomp 442 by anthrax and this is a limited edition clear with blue and

198
00:24:35,560 –> 00:24:46,040
green splatter this is a nuclear blast reissue so this is really cool love

199
00:24:46,040 –> 00:24:50,480
these splatter albums can’t always get them because they’re so unique as they

200
00:24:50,480 –> 00:25:01,440
sell out this is limited to 1400 copies I have this on CD the date came out for

201
00:25:01,440 –> 00:25:05,840
as much crap as this album has received over the years I’ve always enjoyed it

202
00:25:05,840 –> 00:25:17,080
but similar to metal blade here you’ve got this got the lyrics on the back

203
00:25:17,080 –> 00:25:24,320
this album has a lot of good stuff on it whether it’s up your alley or not I

204
00:25:24,320 –> 00:25:31,480
enjoy now there was a band once upon a time

205
00:25:31,720 –> 00:25:43,880
that wanted John Bush to sing for them yeah I’ve got the poster back here but

206
00:25:43,880 –> 00:25:48,840
came back from the US with a bunch of

207
00:25:49,240 –> 00:25:55,560
different vinyls from this band and everything that I’ve shown up to now is

208
00:25:55,560 –> 00:26:00,360
purchased in Europe so there’s gonna be a few that I’ve picked up in the States

209
00:26:00,360 –> 00:26:06,720
I’ve got a bunch of these from Walmart and I don’t know if the Walmart vinyls

210
00:26:06,720 –> 00:26:13,720
are better worse so on and so forth but I will say this the price point is where

211
00:26:13,720 –> 00:26:21,160
it’s at because these albums are 10 to 20 euros more expensive in Europe so this

212
00:26:21,160 –> 00:26:33,240
is Kill em all okay I picked this up for $22 this is close to 40 euros here so

213
00:26:33,240 –> 00:26:36,720
close to $45

214
00:26:37,480 –> 00:26:42,920
this is on limited edition red vinyl which they’re releasing in Europe and

215
00:26:42,920 –> 00:26:49,880
apparently in the States it is only available in Walmart at the moment

216
00:26:49,880 –> 00:26:55,840
there’s a few other things that I’ve ordered from Walmart that here in Europe

217
00:26:55,840 –> 00:27:03,560
for example the somewhere in time reissue by Iron Maiden is 70 euros the

218
00:27:03,560 –> 00:27:14,640
same exact vinyl is $29 so it is more than double here in Europe

219
00:27:14,640 –> 00:27:23,280
once I saw that I ordered it right away I have Kill em all on CD on cassette and

220
00:27:23,280 –> 00:27:26,840
now on vinyl

221
00:27:27,360 –> 00:27:30,360
lyrics

222
00:27:30,360 –> 00:27:41,080
and all these great pictures I have the CD used why because I picked it up at

223
00:27:41,080 –> 00:27:48,200
the sound exchange in Wayne New Jersey I believe it is maybe that’s not Wayne

224
00:27:48,200 –> 00:27:54,240
but you got route 23 to go there in Wayne so I think I’m I might be off by

225
00:27:54,240 –> 00:28:01,840
few towns but anyway I can’t get the insert back

226
00:28:03,320 –> 00:28:11,800
anyway so I bought that used because it had am I evil and Blitzkrieg I wanted

227
00:28:11,800 –> 00:28:19,640
that copy that’s what I have this obviously ends with metal militia

228
00:28:19,640 –> 00:28:28,360
so yeah probably with all this discussion of master puppets versus ride

229
00:28:28,360 –> 00:28:34,400
the lightning I’m a ride the lightning guy I don’t have master puppets on

230
00:28:34,400 –> 00:28:41,240
vinyl I could have picked it up maybe next time I just listened to this album

231
00:28:41,240 –> 00:28:46,320
a lot more master puppets for most of you that know and for a lot of people

232
00:28:46,320 –> 00:28:51,440
it’s sacrilegious what I’m about to say I understand that for a lot of people

233
00:28:51,440 –> 00:28:58,120
it’s the greatest metal album of all time to me I like the album but I’ve

234
00:28:58,120 –> 00:29:06,640
heard it so much that I’m kind of burned out on it but lyric insert pictures of

235
00:29:06,640 –> 00:29:15,200
the band and listen I’d love to get the box sets for these but I don’t want to

236
00:29:15,200 –> 00:29:22,640
spend the grand to catch up and get all of these so this is you would expect if

237
00:29:22,640 –> 00:29:29,680
kilomal is red right the lightning is blue

238
00:29:29,680 –> 00:29:37,720
you

239
00:29:37,720 –> 00:29:44,280
all right as I fumble to putting all this stuff away

240
00:29:44,280 –> 00:29:50,160
it’s funny I went from thinking can I fill it our showing off vinyl and

241
00:29:50,160 –> 00:29:55,840
talking about vinyl to maybe I’ve got too much here I’m gonna go way over an

242
00:29:55,840 –> 00:30:00,120
hour so we’ll see we shall play it by ear we’re almost at the halfway point

243
00:30:00,120 –> 00:30:06,000
here and there’s still a lot to go here

244
00:30:07,960 –> 00:30:12,400
Metallica doesn’t stop there because

245
00:30:13,000 –> 00:30:22,960
and justice for all and this is a double vinyl it’s interesting that they didn’t

246
00:30:22,960 –> 00:30:27,360
do a gatefold with this or it’s just

247
00:30:28,400 –> 00:30:33,720
two albums crammed into the one jacket here

248
00:30:33,800 –> 00:30:41,400
so erics with a lot of graphics that we all kind of know pictures that I’ve seen

249
00:30:41,400 –> 00:30:50,880
quite a few times depending on what stage in life I would have told you that

250
00:30:50,880 –> 00:30:56,080
and justice was was my favorite

251
00:31:00,440 –> 00:31:04,280
there’s been times where it’s right the lightning times where it’s been death

252
00:31:04,280 –> 00:31:13,640
magnetic as sacrilegious as that may sound but a green vinyl

253
00:31:13,640 –> 00:31:22,760
and yeah so

254
00:31:28,200 –> 00:31:31,520
there you go

255
00:31:32,400 –> 00:31:41,680
and justice so you think that the Metallica stops here it does not and

256
00:31:41,680 –> 00:31:48,800
probably the most hated album of of the bunch

257
00:31:54,480 –> 00:31:59,400
all right the the dramatic pause there

258
00:31:59,400 –> 00:32:09,480
Saint anger all right so there are songs off of St.

259
00:32:09,480 –> 00:32:14,520
Anger that I really like I don’t know how much longer this will be available

260
00:32:14,520 –> 00:32:19,440
on vinyl master puppets I’m gonna be able to get at any time because it is

261
00:32:19,440 –> 00:32:29,240
so popular this not so sure because of how much disdain people have for it

262
00:32:29,240 –> 00:32:37,400
so St. Anger is orange to go along with the cover with the cover the covers

263
00:32:37,400 –> 00:32:39,880
orange

264
00:32:46,640 –> 00:32:49,840
so there you go

265
00:32:51,640 –> 00:32:55,360
we have the

266
00:32:55,360 –> 00:33:04,120
inserts that I have the CD I sold the CD because it was limited edition with the

267
00:33:04,120 –> 00:33:11,280
DVD that suppose it was only released for a short amount of time you can still

268
00:33:11,280 –> 00:33:17,720
get it with the DVD so I don’t own the

269
00:33:18,080 –> 00:33:21,960
the CD anymore

270
00:33:21,960 –> 00:33:30,160
a band that Metallica has covered and this is a weird one because this one it

271
00:33:30,160 –> 00:33:37,520
took me a while to place it on discogs it is American Psycho by the Misfits it

272
00:33:37,520 –> 00:33:46,040
is the first album with Michael Graves this was released in Poland and it was

273
00:33:46,040 –> 00:33:59,040
hard for me to track down it’s on Plan 9 says Maiden Pole in there at the bottom

274
00:33:59,040 –> 00:34:06,360
some people do not acknowledge anything of the band past Glenn Danzig I do love

275
00:34:06,360 –> 00:34:20,200
all errors of the band so there’s that

276
00:34:22,720 –> 00:34:32,080
all right this is from last year this is a hundred eighty gram it is Aftermath by

277
00:34:32,080 –> 00:34:41,960
Angela Sepatrida and I hadn’t opened this till today so I wanted to throw this

278
00:34:41,960 –> 00:34:46,640
in there hopefully get to see the band in December they’ll be playing close to

279
00:34:46,640 –> 00:34:52,960
me hopefully the stars will align the last few times that they’ve come close

280
00:34:52,960 –> 00:35:02,080
I’ve been away at tournaments and different things so here we go lyrics

281
00:35:02,080 –> 00:35:10,160
band photo more lyrics and nothing extravagant this time I mean I have

282
00:35:10,160 –> 00:35:18,520
colored vinyl by them just black I have essentially everything that they’ve

283
00:35:18,520 –> 00:35:29,200
released and with Metallica I actually have everything on vinyl except for no

284
00:35:29,200 –> 00:35:37,080
I don’t have everything on vinyl because I don’t have loader reload one I really

285
00:35:37,080 –> 00:35:44,160
like one I don’t care for I don’t have master puppets I don’t have garage ink

286
00:35:44,160 –> 00:35:53,200
although I do have the reissue of garage days revisited you get a quick drink of

287
00:35:53,200 –> 00:36:00,920
water here excuse me

288
00:36:04,040 –> 00:36:10,040
all right so let’s move on here with some sacred rike and heel this was their

289
00:36:10,040 –> 00:36:21,440
last album until they released awakening in 2019 this was originally released in

290
00:36:21,440 –> 00:36:24,440
96

291
00:36:24,680 –> 00:36:30,880
so this was produced by Bill Mattoyer and sacred rike

292
00:36:30,880 –> 00:36:40,960
recorded between August and October of 95 this was mastered for vinyl by Patrick

293
00:36:40,960 –> 00:36:48,360
Engel at temple of disharmony in March of 2024

294
00:36:48,360 –> 00:37:02,280
very cool so this is copy 285 of 300 worldwide it is translucent blue steel I

295
00:37:02,280 –> 00:37:12,160
have this on CD so once this was reissued on vinyl I had to have it

296
00:37:12,160 –> 00:37:21,400
this was never released on vinyl back in the day so it’s pretty cool I guess you

297
00:37:21,400 –> 00:37:26,400
can kind of make it out for me since I’m looking at it through light through that

298
00:37:26,400 –> 00:37:48,320
ring light it’s a little clearer all right

299
00:37:48,320 –> 00:37:56,240
two albums by a band that also disappeared for for a while this is 180

300
00:37:56,240 –> 00:38:04,600
gram it is from music on vinyl it is living color and times up man I saw that

301
00:38:04,600 –> 00:38:08,080
they reissued this and I had to jump on it this was something that I purchased

302
00:38:08,080 –> 00:38:14,520
on cassette back in the day still have the cassette still the CD

303
00:38:14,520 –> 00:38:21,240
and I also have the vinyl obviously

304
00:38:21,880 –> 00:38:32,600
so I’m one this was probably released on vinyl back in the day probably wasn’t

305
00:38:32,600 –> 00:38:36,560
extensively released

306
00:38:36,560 –> 00:38:45,680
but man I know vivid is the album that most people turn to but times up is just

307
00:38:45,680 –> 00:38:56,360
so great this has so many good songs on it and they’re so varied I mean times up

308
00:38:56,360 –> 00:39:02,200
was a video love ears that’s ugly head was a video they played new jack theme

309
00:39:02,200 –> 00:39:09,120
on our Seno Hall I’ve that on vhs somewhere Elvis is dead was a single

310
00:39:09,120 –> 00:39:12,840
type was a single

311
00:39:13,840 –> 00:39:20,800
solace of you I remember on local radio New York WNEW would play that song all

312
00:39:20,800 –> 00:39:29,320
the time it’s so different to the rest of the album so that’s what I think

313
00:39:29,320 –> 00:39:34,600
makes it so great is that it is different

314
00:39:35,480 –> 00:39:43,040
trying to get this back into the plastic container

315
00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:56,400
all right but not to be outdone I also have stained I had this on CD I like

316
00:39:56,400 –> 00:40:02,120
this I don’t love it as much as time’s up but again moved to Europe needed

317
00:40:02,120 –> 00:40:10,720
money and I sold it because it came in a red case and it also had a bonus track

318
00:40:10,720 –> 00:40:17,920
a cover them covering Prince a Prince track called 17 days

319
00:40:17,920 –> 00:40:31,600
180 gram as well just black vinyl nothing out of the ordinary there

320
00:40:36,160 –> 00:40:44,040
you take for granted when you have this stuff on CD and I would have to think

321
00:40:44,040 –> 00:40:50,520
that this maybe never came out on vinyl back in the day I could look it up on

322
00:40:50,520 –> 00:40:55,000
this cogs there was a lot of stuff that was just radio station copies as well

323
00:40:55,000 –> 00:41:02,200
was sent to DJ’s and it really didn’t really wasn’t released to the general

324
00:41:02,200 –> 00:41:21,400
public so there’s some of that

325
00:41:21,400 –> 00:41:30,120
yeah put this back in the bag as well

326
00:41:33,960 –> 00:41:39,840
all right so this is one that I’ve had for a few years but it’s been behind me

327
00:41:39,840 –> 00:41:51,680
since like the pre-special that we did 180 gram as download as well it is

328
00:41:51,680 –> 00:41:58,720
defenders of the faith it is one of the all-time greatest metal albums it’s just

329
00:41:58,720 –> 00:42:05,160
black vinyl I mean nothing out of the ordinary again something that I’ve had

330
00:42:05,160 –> 00:42:13,920
and I just opened it so need to play more vinyl how about that not to be

331
00:42:13,920 –> 00:42:23,400
outdone invincible shield limited edition red vinyl

332
00:42:25,760 –> 00:42:34,520
this is so cool seeing this so this is split up as just like two to three songs

333
00:42:34,520 –> 00:42:42,760
per side so it has to be like 45 speed disc one side a is panic attack the

334
00:42:42,760 –> 00:42:48,120
serpent and the king side B is invincible shield devil in disguise

335
00:42:48,120 –> 00:42:54,160
gates of hell side C is crown of thorns as God is my witness

336
00:42:54,160 –> 00:42:57,720
trial by fire

337
00:42:57,720 –> 00:43:06,600
side D is escape from reality sons of thunder and giants in the sky now I have

338
00:43:06,600 –> 00:43:09,960
this on CD as well

339
00:43:15,200 –> 00:43:23,920
and it has bonus tracks as fight for your life vicious circle and the lodger

340
00:43:23,920 –> 00:43:35,120
so there’s that so let’s look at the vinyl itself

341
00:43:36,640 –> 00:43:43,920
all right that’s the double gatefold what do we have here cool thing about

342
00:43:43,920 –> 00:43:52,840
newer jackets is that they also take time to add color to the inside back in

343
00:43:52,840 –> 00:44:04,040
the day that was always just white really cool graphics for each song and

344
00:44:04,040 –> 00:44:11,880
man that’s red edition red vinyl

345
00:44:12,080 –> 00:44:18,560
priest has done something that no other band has done really this late in their

346
00:44:18,560 –> 00:44:29,360
career putting out the albums that they’ve released which is red as well I

347
00:44:29,440 –> 00:44:35,760
mean this is funny because I have Judas Priest socks and they have that same

348
00:44:35,760 –> 00:44:44,560
design the priest cross and all that stuff but yeah to release two albums

349
00:44:44,560 –> 00:44:56,320
back-to-back firepower and to release this one it is really cool it is really

350
00:44:56,320 –> 00:45:00,400
cool it’s some great music I mean let’s let’s be honest that’s where it’s all

351
00:45:00,400 –> 00:45:04,920
at another music on vinyl it is Widowmaker

352
00:45:04,920 –> 00:45:14,800
standby for pain limited to 750 copies individually numbered gold colored

353
00:45:14,800 –> 00:45:24,760
vinyl first time on vinyl includes insert so this is such an awesome album

354
00:45:24,760 –> 00:45:28,920
I would take this

355
00:45:28,920 –> 00:45:34,960
and the last two decider albums which I also have on vinyl and I would measure

356
00:45:34,960 –> 00:45:48,120
them up against almost any big name metal musicians solo project I mean

357
00:45:48,120 –> 00:45:52,240
what’s in the same league some of Bruce’s stuff some of Bruce Dickinson

358
00:45:52,240 –> 00:45:59,440
stuff some of Rob Halfords stuff there isn’t much more out there

359
00:46:05,960 –> 00:46:14,320
so deal was my very first interview wish I could interview him again pretty much

360
00:46:14,320 –> 00:46:25,560
out of my pay grade at the moment someday maybe the gold

361
00:46:25,560 –> 00:46:31,160
the good the gold the great this is so heavy in punishing this album this is

362
00:46:31,160 –> 00:46:39,200
what I love about it when Dee came back and started doing all this other stuff

363
00:46:39,200 –> 00:46:49,800
and I get it he was trying to sow his oats per se but the heaviness on this

364
00:46:49,800 –> 00:46:56,400
album is where it’s at in my opinion so

365
00:46:56,400 –> 00:47:06,440
oops another my kid never good folks never good

366
00:47:17,120 –> 00:47:20,120
all right

367
00:47:20,120 –> 00:47:29,600
another music on vinyl these are all reissues this is an album that’s going to

368
00:47:29,600 –> 00:47:37,480
be celebrated live in its entirety which one I spoke to Joey Z for the first time

369
00:47:38,040 –> 00:47:49,000
I asked about that since you’re doing River Runs Red how about ugly so this is

370
00:47:49,000 –> 00:47:56,320
a rerelease when I saw this was coming out I had to get it and yeah this is

371
00:47:56,320 –> 00:48:00,880
similar to what Mark Striegel said this isn’t like a black black this is like

372
00:48:00,880 –> 00:48:06,280
recycled cardboard so it doesn’t have gloss it’s kind of a matte finish I

373
00:48:06,280 –> 00:48:12,800
don’t know if that was done on purpose or not

374
00:48:12,800 –> 00:48:20,360
I’m sure it was because they’re trying to be conscious of the environment as a

375
00:48:20,360 –> 00:48:30,920
result this doesn’t you know the ring light doesn’t do anything to it but

376
00:48:30,920 –> 00:48:40,040
black vinyl

377
00:48:47,920 –> 00:48:54,760
so pretty cool pretty cool great album though

378
00:48:54,760 –> 00:49:05,720
I know for a lot of people the big thing is their simple minds cover don’t you

379
00:49:05,720 –> 00:49:13,600
forget about me but there’s just so much good stuff off of here seasons I regret

380
00:49:13,600 –> 00:49:19,600
lost at 22 the other side of the river let’s pretend ugly drained how it would

381
00:49:19,600 –> 00:49:32,800
be unstable damned if I do fears and don’t you forget about me a lot of this

382
00:49:32,800 –> 00:49:40,080
was played on WSOU back in the day local Jersey station which

383
00:49:40,560 –> 00:49:46,120
did a lot to break a lot of bands especially from the area break a lot of

384
00:49:46,120 –> 00:49:51,640
different metal bands in general so we’ll always be grateful to them for

385
00:49:51,640 –> 00:50:01,760
that okay so here is something kind of special because I got to meet up with

386
00:50:01,760 –> 00:50:08,360
Mike Jones while I was in the States one of my patrons good friend and we

387
00:50:08,360 –> 00:50:13,360
discussed about how I had to sell off all this vinyl before moving to Spain

388
00:50:13,360 –> 00:50:18,480
back in the early 2000s because I didn’t know what space I was gonna have I

389
00:50:18,480 –> 00:50:25,360
needed the money as well and I thought that the next two albums were lost for

390
00:50:25,360 –> 00:50:35,240
good as a kid my brother bought the Rolling Stone still life on cassette I

391
00:50:35,240 –> 00:50:41,000
played it so much that I broke the cassette so for Christmas one year I

392
00:50:41,000 –> 00:50:51,000
bought him this album for years for the last 20 plus years I thought that I had

393
00:50:51,000 –> 00:50:57,280
put this in a box with the other vinyls that I had sold off without realizing it

394
00:50:57,280 –> 00:51:05,640
I found it and I also found out that when I entered it into this cogs that a

395
00:51:05,640 –> 00:51:10,920
whole lot of people own this and you’re thinking okay what’s the big deal just

396
00:51:10,920 –> 00:51:18,760
the Rolling Stones live album but it was the first picture disc that I had ever

397
00:51:18,760 –> 00:51:23,120
seen that we had ever owned

398
00:51:24,920 –> 00:51:28,920
so it was awesome and it was funny because I told my brother I found it I

399
00:51:28,920 –> 00:51:33,800
found that I found still life it was in my closet it was under a bunch of kiss

400
00:51:33,800 –> 00:51:39,200
action figures and he says to me oh I thought that was in Spain already

401
00:51:39,200 –> 00:51:47,600
nope but it will be in a few weeks the other thing that I have I completely

402
00:51:47,600 –> 00:51:55,960
forgot about this this is a radio station promo at least that’s how I got

403
00:51:55,960 –> 00:52:13,920
it it is the surfers but whole surfers that is hope that YouTube doesn’t knock

404
00:52:13,920 –> 00:52:22,960
the algorithm down for that but this is a 10 inch single and the color is

405
00:52:22,960 –> 00:52:32,120
fittingly brown it has this distinct smell that it’s always had just the

406
00:52:32,120 –> 00:52:37,200
paper nothing nefarious about it

407
00:52:37,320 –> 00:52:51,080
but just so cool all right but there’s two more items that I picked up actually

408
00:52:51,080 –> 00:52:55,880
everything that I showed you guys after the Metallica the Metallica was

409
00:52:55,880 –> 00:53:05,120
purchased in the States except for st. anger I picked that up here this I

410
00:53:05,120 –> 00:53:08,720
bought at the

411
00:53:08,720 –> 00:53:20,560
Princeton record exchange no I’m not getting paid to promote this at all but

412
00:53:20,560 –> 00:53:26,800
nine-inch nails the fragile

413
00:53:27,720 –> 00:53:33,520
it is halo 14 for those keeping score

414
00:53:33,520 –> 00:53:36,520
this is

415
00:53:40,760 –> 00:53:49,840
on 180 gram I have this on CD was one of the only things that I kept that I was

416
00:53:49,840 –> 00:53:59,640
given around the time of my first marriage I really love this album again

417
00:53:59,640 –> 00:54:07,600
booklet with all lyrics it is a king-size version of what I have on CD

418
00:54:08,440 –> 00:54:19,480
so this one side a and B

419
00:54:19,480 –> 00:54:29,160
this is three discs by the way three discs for 40 bucks

420
00:54:29,920 –> 00:54:35,800
it’s hard to open okay so that doesn’t open anymore

421
00:54:35,800 –> 00:54:43,800
oh wow this was produced by Bob Ezra by the way

422
00:54:43,800 –> 00:54:53,360
if I’m not mistaken yeah I believe it was he’s writing about it

423
00:54:54,160 –> 00:54:59,960
but anyway at the corner of nothing and nowhere sequencing the fragile by Bob

424
00:54:59,960 –> 00:55:02,200
Ezra

425
00:55:06,600 –> 00:55:12,160
okay so he says to be clear I played only the smallest part in the creation of the

426
00:55:12,160 –> 00:55:17,200
fragile here’s after the project was started and only weeks before it ended I

427
00:55:17,200 –> 00:55:23,160
was invited in as an objective voice to help create the running order for the

428
00:55:23,160 –> 00:55:26,800
album here’s the story

429
00:55:26,800 –> 00:55:30,760
Wow this is really cool

430
00:55:32,720 –> 00:55:36,720
all right so this is the

431
00:55:36,720 –> 00:55:48,960
he recorded this in New Orleans I’ve got the same headphones there’s jay-z

432
00:55:57,240 –> 00:56:00,240
interesting

433
00:56:00,240 –> 00:56:08,640
so I guess the original reissue this was 2016 because that’s the date of when

434
00:56:08,640 –> 00:56:21,280
that was written either way this is this two and this three so again I got a

435
00:56:21,280 –> 00:56:32,960
triple vinyl here the $39.99 plus tax at the Princeton Sound Exchange seems like

436
00:56:32,960 –> 00:56:35,960
a good deal to me

437
00:56:35,960 –> 00:56:55,680
all right so one more thing I didn’t put the protector sleeve on the plastic

438
00:56:55,680 –> 00:56:58,680
sleeve here

439
00:56:58,680 –> 00:57:03,680
got a few more minutes here about eight minutes to go

440
00:57:06,280 –> 00:57:14,800
and if this takes me way too long then I will just do it after because I want to

441
00:57:14,800 –> 00:57:20,080
show this last item off shit I broke it

442
00:57:20,080 –> 00:57:29,080
and I keep breaking it ok

443
00:57:34,080 –> 00:57:38,680
all right so the last item if you’ve seen the last few shows that I’ve

444
00:57:38,680 –> 00:57:43,600
recorded with Jeremy you’ll have seen this behind me

445
00:57:43,600 –> 00:57:53,920
the Anno Domini box set it is the Tony Martin years 89 through 95

446
00:57:59,360 –> 00:58:08,080
all right so let’s see what is in here we have this booklet this giant booklet

447
00:58:08,080 –> 00:58:14,080
while detailing a lot of different things

448
00:58:16,080 –> 00:58:21,280
it’s missing eternal idol but I get it because that was a Warner Brothers

449
00:58:21,280 –> 00:58:24,280
release and these are all IRS releases

450
00:58:30,560 –> 00:58:37,600
would have been need if they would have included cross purposes live also but

451
00:58:37,600 –> 00:58:40,600
they didn’t

452
00:58:40,600 –> 00:58:44,280
looks like a huge headless cross poster

453
00:58:44,280 –> 00:59:04,960
some of these albums vinyl for the very first time you do have headless cross

454
00:59:04,960 –> 00:59:16,920
you have to hear you have cross purposes

455
00:59:19,920 –> 00:59:28,600
and you have forbidden I have all of these on CD it’s funny because I’ve

456
00:59:28,600 –> 00:59:33,440
listened to forbidden quite a bit I do like what they’ve done with it

457
00:59:33,440 –> 00:59:37,480
I do think certain things are missing like with illusion of power

458
00:59:40,440 –> 00:59:49,760
if I could get the current mix with the original intro I would be good with that

459
00:59:52,640 –> 01:00:01,800
I can’t wait to listen to this stuff on vinyl on a proper turntable where it

460
01:00:01,800 –> 01:00:12,960
will all sound great but I have a lot of vinyl behind me which I can’t wait to do

461
01:00:12,960 –> 01:00:20,200
so turntable I have is not the greatest but it’s serviceable and I’m hoping to

462
01:00:20,200 –> 01:00:25,240
some somewhere down the road pick up something that’s a little better than

463
01:00:25,240 –> 01:00:31,520
that but anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this episode I hope you enjoyed the

464
01:00:31,520 –> 01:00:36,600
vinyl hall episode here I may do this in the future I may do it with some other

465
01:00:36,600 –> 01:00:47,240
guests where we kind of share some of the stuff from our collection and yeah so

466
01:00:47,240 –> 01:00:53,920

467
01:00:53,920 –> 01:00:59,240
