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 do a lot of these episodes for various reasons but nonetheless again I hope you 38 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:27,040 enjoy.

60 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:06,360 opened up until today actually and there will be a box set that that I've had for 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 -->

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

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 -->
