Vote. Bye. October 24th. Welcome 00:05:19.269 --> 00:05:23.170 to the latest episode of Signals from Mars. I'm 00:05:23.170 --> 00:05:26.769 your host Victor and for this episode I bring 00:05:26.769 --> 00:05:30.629 you a special Vinyl haul episode. We're going 00:05:30.629 --> 00:05:33.370 to talk about some of the stuff, not all vinyl, 00:05:33.389 --> 00:05:35.410 stuff that I brought back from the States this 00:05:35.410 --> 00:05:38.250 summer. And if we have time, we're actually going 00:05:38.250 --> 00:05:40.329 to talk about some of the vinyl that I've accumulated 00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:45.089 here over the past year that I haven't shown 00:05:45.089 --> 00:05:49.610 on previous episodes. So we're going to start 00:05:49.610 --> 00:05:54.230 out with some CDs. This is something that I believe 00:05:54.230 --> 00:05:58.879 is hard to come by. It is. Halford three winter 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:07.740 songs. This was sent to me years ago by the person 00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:11.740 that's in charge of priests and Rob Halford's 00:06:11.740 --> 00:06:16.980 PR. This has been sitting there for quite some 00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:21.660 time, folks. Before last year, I hadn't been 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:26.959 back to the States in 14 years. And essentially, 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.740 there's stuff that we couldn't fit into our luggage 00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:35.819 last year, which we brought this year. Brand 00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:39.120 new CD. Have not opened this up yet. This is 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.959 Prongs, Ruining Lives. This came out back in 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:50.980 2014. There's a lot of good music on this album. 00:06:53.230 --> 00:06:55.550 I bought this at the Sound Exchange in Wayne, 00:06:55.629 --> 00:06:59.189 New Jersey. By far my favorite record store. 00:06:59.829 --> 00:07:04.250 I've been to plenty. I got to hit the stores 00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:08.930 in New York, which I haven't been to. If you 00:07:08.930 --> 00:07:13.930 know me and you're from that area, if there's 00:07:13.930 --> 00:07:17.389 any stores that you can recommend, I would be 00:07:17.389 --> 00:07:22.350 more than happy to visit. All right, so these 00:07:22.350 --> 00:07:25.709 are sealed. These are sitting in my closet, back 00:07:25.709 --> 00:07:30.509 of my folks' house. They've still got the old, 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:36.910 you know, stickers so that you can steal them. 00:07:37.149 --> 00:07:41.490 This is the Batman Forever soundtrack. And both 00:07:41.490 --> 00:07:48.550 of these CDs, as it says right over here, they 00:07:48.550 --> 00:07:53.139 both have CD. containing a FLIR Ultra Batman 00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:57.100 Forever trading card, not available anywhere 00:07:57.100 --> 00:08:03.800 else. So the big deal behind this was that I 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.399 figured, okay, it's going to be a huge movie. 00:08:06.939 --> 00:08:11.019 It kind of flopped. I enjoyed it. I still enjoy 00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:18.399 it. It's, you know, it's of its time. But there's... 00:08:19.529 --> 00:08:20.930 you know, I thought it was going to be huge. 00:08:21.029 --> 00:08:24.050 And I said, wow, the trading card inside of this 00:08:24.050 --> 00:08:27.310 is going to be worth much more than the 1298 00:08:27.310 --> 00:08:30.550 that I paid for at the whiz back in the day. 00:08:30.629 --> 00:08:37.029 Nobody beats the whiz, damn it. So who's on this? 00:08:39.129 --> 00:08:42.470 You have U2, Withhold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, 00:08:42.549 --> 00:08:47.350 Kill Me, PJ Harvey, One Time Too Many, Brandy 00:08:47.350 --> 00:08:56.409 with... Seeing reflections here. Yeah, hard to 00:08:56.409 --> 00:08:58.029 read between the stickers and the reflection. 00:08:58.090 --> 00:09:00.490 Anyway, there's Brandy, Seal, Massive Attack 00:09:00.490 --> 00:09:04.070 with Tracy Thorne, Eddie Reader, Mazzy Star, 00:09:04.309 --> 00:09:06.309 The Offspring, Smash It Up. That's probably the 00:09:06.309 --> 00:09:10.330 song that I play most often. Nick Cave, Method 00:09:10.330 --> 00:09:14.429 Man, Michael Hutchence, The Passenger. Actually, 00:09:14.470 --> 00:09:16.389 I haven't played that quite a bit over the years. 00:09:16.450 --> 00:09:23.179 That's the... Iggy Pop cover. It actually sounds 00:09:23.179 --> 00:09:28.379 pretty cool by him. Devlin's Sunny Day Real Estate 00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:30.980 and The Flaming Lips. I've definitely played 00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:38.679 the U2, The Seal, and The Offspring quite a bit 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:45.299 over the years. So yeah, so that's the CD portion. 00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:54.480 of the episode. Cassettes. This is funny because 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.340 I haven't looked to see if the actual cassettes 00:09:56.340 --> 00:10:03.139 are in here. But anyway, Joe Satriani, Time Machine. 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:10.720 It is a double cassette. Okay. I probably bought 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.879 this on cassette because it was a lot cheaper 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:17.990 than the CD. And I had this on CD later on. So, 00:10:18.029 --> 00:10:21.110 I mean, there's really nothing in there. But 00:10:21.110 --> 00:10:29.490 it does have liner notes. All right. Believe 00:10:29.490 --> 00:10:34.830 it or not. Liner notes for the cassette. You 00:10:34.830 --> 00:10:39.929 see Joe here, man. Looks cool. More Joe here. 00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:46.759 Joe who? Joe mama. All right. The cassettes themselves 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.759 Are the covers the same yeah covers are the same 00:10:52.759 --> 00:11:00.679 but the back are different Yeah, different die. 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:08.340 Yes, they leave You can there's Joe there If 00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:16.879 you know When these cassettes were printed, they 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:23.759 had, you know, a smell to them with the ink or 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:35.720 the paper itself. So I'm trying to think back 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:40.659 because, I mean, Joe has been hairless for quite 00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:46.100 a long time now. It's just weird looking at him 00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:48.559 with hair here. And it's funny because, you know, 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.840 like everything else, when a person first shaves 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.100 their head bald, wow, they look so weird. No 00:11:55.100 --> 00:12:03.639 hair. And the reason why I bought this, the biggest 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.840 reason, reason is crazy. The first song that 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:20.840 he ever sung on, if I'm not mistaken. So there's 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.860 that. Try to give it to you in an angle where 00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:28.179 there isn't too much reflection from the ring 00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:41.100 light. Okay. These are on relativity. So cool. 00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:49.279 What other tracks are on this? Yeah, that's... 00:12:50.710 --> 00:12:54.690 Crazy is the one that I've listened to the most. 00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:56.909 That's actually probably one of the most listened 00:12:56.909 --> 00:13:01.350 to songs by Satriani for me personally. I think 00:13:01.350 --> 00:13:03.769 he's a genius. I really love surfing with the 00:13:03.769 --> 00:13:09.889 alien, but I can only take dribs and drabs. Yeah, 00:13:10.070 --> 00:13:16.009 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Michael Shanker portfolio. 00:13:16.929 --> 00:13:24.980 La colección definitiva. All right, so this was 00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:29.399 a Spain -only release by Chrysalis, and this 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:35.039 was my intro to Michael Shanker. So I had often 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.480 heard about how great Strangers in the Night 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.159 is and what a big deal, so on and so forth. Greatest 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:50.399 live album of all time. Okay, but... What was 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.259 MSG all about? You know, the Macaulay Shanker 00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:56.200 group was making all this, all the press and 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:02.340 whatnot. And inside really isn't anything, really 00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:04.620 isn't anything to be honest, but it's kind of 00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:06.840 cool the way that, you know, there's two cassettes 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:19.929 in here. It's in like this. You open it. And 00:14:19.929 --> 00:14:22.350 the cassettes are like that. So it's funny because, 00:14:22.429 --> 00:14:25.230 yeah, this is a Spanish release. This has been 00:14:25.230 --> 00:14:29.169 sitting in the States since the early 90s. I 00:14:29.169 --> 00:14:32.009 played the shit out of this. Not going to lie 00:14:32.009 --> 00:14:34.909 to you. What songs are on this? All right, so 00:14:34.909 --> 00:14:39.789 the first cassette is all UFO. So it is I'm a 00:14:39.789 --> 00:14:46.309 Loser, Reasons Love, Dr. Doctor, Rock Bottom. 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.600 Too Hot to Handle, Ready to Rock. No, so it's 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:55.279 not all UFO on the first. Somehow the track listing, 00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:58.919 I don't remember one of those songs I mentioned. 00:14:59.059 --> 00:15:02.440 Ready to Rock, Only You Can Rock Me, Lights Out, 00:15:02.659 --> 00:15:05.279 Arbor Hill. No, what am I talking about? Yeah, 00:15:05.379 --> 00:15:09.519 this is kind of screwy, Armed and Ready, Love 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.179 Drive. There's Scorpions on here, Attack of the 00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:17.090 Mad Axe Man, Assault Attack, Ulcer. searching 00:15:17.090 --> 00:15:20.909 for a reason rock my night away captain nemo 00:15:20.909 --> 00:15:24.070 and rock will never die it's the that's the live 00:15:24.070 --> 00:15:40.070 version is that how it actually is yeah that's 00:15:40.070 --> 00:15:44.460 so weird that There'd go too hot to handle to 00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:47.240 ready to rock to only you can rock me to lights 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:54.000 out to Arbery Hill. And I mean, not for nothing, 00:15:54.100 --> 00:16:04.100 but there's. I would personally be having included 00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:11.840 on and on or let sleeping dogs like arena. I 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.840 love those songs I just mentioned, and I think 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.320 they're great. I didn't get to hear On and On 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.379 until Eddie Trunk played it one night. Now, what 00:16:19.379 --> 00:16:24.279 is this? I instantly went out and bought the 00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:28.879 cassette. Cassette's in the next room. I got 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:33.039 a bunch of cassettes. These, luckily, they're 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:39.519 the right cassettes. But they're not in the right 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:49.019 cases. So, by the way, I didn't bring this to 00:16:49.019 --> 00:16:53.500 the United States, but Iron Maiden Red, I think 00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:59.879 it looks great. This is my box. The box I use 00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:06.279 to bring stuff back from the States, usually. 00:17:06.750 --> 00:17:09.170 I use smaller ones. Like when I went to London, 00:17:09.230 --> 00:17:12.250 I used the smaller one. Make sure that I don't 00:17:12.250 --> 00:17:23.789 bump my mic. All right. So let's go with a poster. 00:17:29.630 --> 00:17:35.400 Mind over four. This is signed. There's a small 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:40.279 rip there, a crease. This is signed from my old 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:52.279 college radio days. Okay. Now, these were some 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.880 promos. These are a bit out of whack. Smithereens, 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.299 not very metal, but they are from New Jersey. 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:06.140 This is off of a blow up. So featuring anywhere 00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:09.779 you are top of the pops and too much passion. 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.680 So this is what, for those that don't know, this 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.920 is what would be sent to the record stores and 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.880 they would flop these on the wall. And there 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.039 was a place up in Hackettstown, New Jersey. I 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.940 don't remember the name of it, but you could 00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:26.539 buy these for like a dollar. So we would drive 00:18:26.539 --> 00:18:33.740 up. I got that. I got. Metallica Black Album. 00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:52.920 All right. The Rat 8191 compilation. Remember 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.799 this thing? It was the original release of Nobody 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.180 Rides for Free. Cool song off of the Point Break 00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:11.630 soundtrack. The original Body Count album. It 00:19:11.630 --> 00:19:14.250 says on the back, Body Count is Ice -T, Ernie 00:19:14.250 --> 00:19:19.130 C, Moose Man, D -Rock, and Beatmaster V. I believe 00:19:19.130 --> 00:19:23.210 two of those members have passed away. Ernie 00:19:23.210 --> 00:19:25.430 C is the only one that's still in the band with 00:19:25.430 --> 00:19:30.009 Ice -T. And I got a chance to interview Ernie 00:19:30.009 --> 00:19:35.869 C quite a few years ago. Need to find that. Iron 00:19:35.869 --> 00:19:38.250 Maiden, Fear of the Dark. So this was all around 00:19:38.250 --> 00:19:41.349 that time frame. So includes Be Quick or Be Dead, 00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:44.250 From Here to Eternity, and Wasting Love. Those 00:19:44.250 --> 00:19:48.890 are the three singles. Yeah, I don't know. That 00:19:48.890 --> 00:19:51.849 album is a hard listen for me now. There's a 00:19:51.849 --> 00:19:54.930 few cool songs off of it, but there's a lot that... 00:19:54.930 --> 00:20:04.930 of its time. Spread Eagle. Open to the Public. 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.000 signed by all four members of the band. Only 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.180 two of them are still in the band, if I'm not 00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:19.680 mistaken. Ray DeLuca, who is down here, and Ray 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:25.180 West. Paul, and I forget what the drummer's name 00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:28.160 was. I apologize. But it says on the back, featuring 00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.799 Devil's Road, Shine, Fade Away, and Revolution 00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:36.319 Maker. The worst interview I ever did, Spread 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:41.140 Eagle. And it's not the band's fault. I started 00:20:41.140 --> 00:20:46.119 coughing and coughing and coughing. And I could 00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.380 not stop coughing. And I asked somebody to go 00:20:49.380 --> 00:20:53.140 get me something to drink. And I'm coughing my 00:20:53.140 --> 00:20:58.039 head off. I'm trying to play songs. And they 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:03.980 end up coming back. They're like, yeah. I didn't 00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:06.339 buy you any orange juice or anything. Yeah, here's 00:21:06.339 --> 00:21:11.200 your money. Go figure. Go figure. All right. 00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:15.500 Flotsam and Jetsam. Quattro was huge. They just 00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:21.279 signed with Napalm. This was huge at the time. 00:21:22.339 --> 00:21:26.799 So on the back, gives you the rundown of the 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.200 album. Natural Enemy, Swatting at Flies, The 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.220 Message, Cradle Me Now. Waiting Through the Darkness, 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.019 Double Zero, Never to Reveal, Forget About Heaven, 00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:41.599 Secret Square, Hypodermic Midnight Snack, Are 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.380 You Willing, Ain't Nothing Gonna, Save This World. 00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:50.279 I can honestly say that Swatting It Flies, Cradle 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.900 Me Now, Waiting Through the Darkness, and Never 00:21:53.900 --> 00:21:57.940 to Reveal got played quite a lot. I had singles 00:21:57.940 --> 00:22:02.059 off of this album. where David Allison had co 00:22:02.059 --> 00:22:10.160 -written one of the bonus tracks. Interesting 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.779 to see. It's signed by the five members of the 00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:17.700 band that were in it at the time. Not everyone 00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:22.920 is still in the band. AK is, I believe, still. 00:22:24.220 --> 00:22:33.710 I could be wrong. All right. me place this so 00:22:33.710 --> 00:22:39.750 that it doesn't go flying nice all right so let's 00:22:39.750 --> 00:22:50.849 get down to some vinyl so i got back from spain 00:22:50.849 --> 00:22:54.190 last year and initially they announced the iron 00:22:54.190 --> 00:23:02.410 maiden power slave zeotrope vinyl And they announced 00:23:02.410 --> 00:23:08.730 somewhere in time reissue. It was between 60 00:23:08.730 --> 00:23:18.109 to 70 euros. So like 65, 75, $80 with the exchange 00:23:18.109 --> 00:23:27.990 in currency. I had seen it at Walmart for 20 00:23:27.990 --> 00:23:32.599 some odd dollars, okay? 26, 29, something like 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:37.539 that. Walmart exclusive says up here, yellow 00:23:37.539 --> 00:23:40.339 vinyl. It's the same damn thing and a 3D poster. 00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:46.660 So I just opened this before starting the episode. 00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:52.839 So we're going to see this as I'm bumping my 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:54.779 mic for the first time together. I mean, this 00:23:54.779 --> 00:24:08.740 was in the old vinyl. yellow yellow vinyl oh 00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:16.779 how lovely how rubbery it is how lovely it is 00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:22.700 the um all that outside of the vinyl is the same 00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:31.019 as what it was way back when but check that out 00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:37.880 so it's the future past It is 3D. I don't know 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:39.619 if you can make that out with the lighting and 00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:44.740 everything else. Yeah, you can kind of see it 00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:48.519 there. So yeah. So I instantly ordered this. 00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:54.920 And they were offering free shipping on multiple 00:24:54.920 --> 00:25:02.019 items. I'm like, okay. So what do I want that 00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:12.279 I do not have? So my album of the year last year, 00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:16.779 if I'm not mistaken, or two years ago, was Rival 00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:24.099 Sons, Dark Fighter. This album is great. Funny 00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:29.619 it's made in Italy. Making its way back to Europe 00:25:29.619 --> 00:25:36.740 for the show. Let me see if I can pull this out. 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:48.619 Oh man, this is stuck. Yes, I'm pre -recording 00:25:48.619 --> 00:25:52.599 this, but it's still not fun to have stuff not 00:25:52.599 --> 00:26:00.400 work properly. What is this? What is this? It 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:07.819 says a new album including... Is this stuck in 00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:11.259 there? What exactly is going on? Oh, this is 00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:15.400 a gatefold. So that's what is going on. Okay. 00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:19.660 So I thought that I had opened all of the gatefolds 00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:25.180 up. I did not, apparently. I like to keep the 00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:31.160 plastic on. I will be cutting this out and including 00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:36.180 it with the album. And I'm sure that there's 00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:38.720 someone who is a connoisseur is now freaking 00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:42.000 out at the way that I'm taking the plastic off. 00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:44.839 Doing my best, folks. Trying to record a show 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:52.279 here at the same time. So I have a bunch of plastic 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.940 that I've removed from the covers. So Dark Fighter. 00:26:58.539 --> 00:27:06.980 Check out the gatefold. Pretty cool. Okay. So 00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:18.440 clear vinyl, folks. In the reflection of my ring 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:23.779 light and my keyboard. So there you go. It's 00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:40.349 a cool album if you haven't checked it out. So 00:27:40.349 --> 00:27:50.029 shortly thereafter, aha, does this not go in? 00:27:50.049 --> 00:27:56.230 So sometimes when you get vinyl, the jacket is 00:27:56.230 --> 00:27:59.950 inside the sleeve. They leave it in the gatefold. 00:28:01.210 --> 00:28:06.690 I guess that's up to you to put it wherever. 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:13.019 To stick it wherever you want. All right. And 00:28:13.019 --> 00:28:16.819 a few months after they released Lightbringer. 00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:23.680 Totally different animal. And I don't mean by 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.680 what's on the cover. Just the sound is different. 00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:30.880 Really different approach. There's stuff off 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:44.440 of both of these albums that I really like. The 00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:49.680 jacket is similar, just black paper. And the 00:28:49.680 --> 00:29:01.640 vinyl is just your classic black. So awesome. 00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:05.519 So these were waiting for me when I got to the 00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:23.789 States. Now, showed you some body count before. 00:29:25.049 --> 00:29:30.250 This is Manslaughter by body count. Picked this 00:29:30.250 --> 00:29:35.589 up at Factory Records in Dover, New Jersey. It 00:29:35.589 --> 00:29:42.710 was 15 bucks. And there was another edition that 00:29:42.710 --> 00:29:47.180 I'd picked up. I said, wait a second. It says 00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:51.160 $15. Why am I getting charged more? This is cloudy, 00:29:51.299 --> 00:30:01.920 bloody red, it says. Let's see. So before I get 00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:12.880 to that. Lyrics. Members of the band. Who the 00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.599 members of the band are, IST, Ernie C, Vincent 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.660 Price, Juan of the Dead, Ill Will, and Shawnee 00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:27.019 Shawn. Yeah, so it's a different band. And I 00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:30.119 believe there's a download card somewhere. Yeah, 00:30:30.140 --> 00:30:36.440 yeah, yeah. It's right in there. I have it digitally 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:39.859 already because of the label sending it to me, 00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:44.109 if I'm not mistaken. This is what it looks like. 00:30:44.109 --> 00:30:48.670 Pretty cool. So the other variation that I picked 00:30:48.670 --> 00:30:54.130 up or the other variant was, had three colors. 00:30:55.329 --> 00:30:58.869 Instead of being 15, it was like 40. And I said, 00:30:58.970 --> 00:31:03.410 well, I said, I'm honestly buying it for the 00:31:03.410 --> 00:31:06.750 price because I like the songs I've listened 00:31:06.750 --> 00:31:10.819 to. I've listened to quite a bit. And I want 00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:12.799 it for the music more so than the aesthetic. 00:31:14.059 --> 00:31:19.640 Talk. Beep. Get shot. Pray for death. 99 problems. 00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:25.099 Back to rehab. Get a job. Institutionalize. 2014. 00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:30.240 Pop bubble. Enter the dark side. Bitch in the 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.319 pit. And I will always love you. These are songs 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:37.400 that I've played a lot and I still play from 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:43.869 time to time. I don't know, their last release 00:31:43.869 --> 00:31:46.809 kind of left me cold, but I thought that they 00:31:46.809 --> 00:31:51.130 were on a really good trajectory. Their catalog 00:31:51.130 --> 00:31:56.009 is solid. If you're a fan of some of the earlier 00:31:56.009 --> 00:32:00.430 stuff, I would recommend checking this album 00:32:00.430 --> 00:32:04.910 out. I've got the album before this on vinyl 00:32:04.910 --> 00:32:08.319 behind me as well, Carnivore. Carnivore was either 00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:10.160 before or after this. It might have been after 00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:13.960 because it's 2014. But both albums are really 00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:18.039 solid. I recommend both. I think they both have 00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:25.200 a lot of really cool songs on them. All right, 00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:27.740 so I'm not a proponent of buying stuff multiple 00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:33.079 times. But this is the album that kind of kicked 00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:36.109 off me getting back into vinyl. Because it's 00:32:36.109 --> 00:32:39.289 my second favorite album of all time. It is my 00:32:39.289 --> 00:32:43.450 favorite Black Sabbath album of all time. Came 00:32:43.450 --> 00:32:45.430 out at a point in time where it meant a lot to 00:32:45.430 --> 00:32:50.170 me. It came out in 92, around the same time as 00:32:50.170 --> 00:32:53.849 Kisses Revenge and Iron Maiden's Fear of the 00:32:53.849 --> 00:32:58.150 Dark. I played the three of those albums to death 00:32:58.150 --> 00:33:00.670 when they came out. This is the only one that's 00:33:00.670 --> 00:33:05.829 still regularly in my rotation. But why did I 00:33:05.829 --> 00:33:09.470 buy another variation of this? Because when they 00:33:09.470 --> 00:33:12.650 first released this on vinyl, they killed the 00:33:12.650 --> 00:33:16.670 drum sound. Tony Iommi did not like it, as he 00:33:16.670 --> 00:33:19.349 said in his book, so he had it remastered and 00:33:19.349 --> 00:33:22.930 turned the drums way down. And the album sounds 00:33:22.930 --> 00:33:27.250 like crap like that. I want those big, menacing, 00:33:27.369 --> 00:33:35.950 heavy drums as the original mix. I need to compare 00:33:35.950 --> 00:33:39.369 this with the other one. The other one is a 2019 00:33:39.369 --> 00:33:43.549 release. If I'm not mistaken, the other one was 00:33:43.549 --> 00:33:51.109 a 2013 release. You can tell this is 180 gram. 00:33:51.190 --> 00:34:01.549 This is some thick vinyl. The back is just the... 00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:16.619 album cover. But yeah, so this is a two vinyl 00:34:16.619 --> 00:34:29.960 set. If I can get this in there. This is the 00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:32.340 exciting part of the show. Seeing me fumble with 00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:38.480 Album jackets. All right. So I'll get back to 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:45.639 this later. On vinyl two, we have this picture, 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:53.480 which is, this is the insert on the CD. I played 00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:57.960 the CD enough to know that. So many memories 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:00.460 of this album. The reason I love it so much is 00:35:00.460 --> 00:35:04.179 the heavy drum sound. It's non -apologetic. It's 00:35:04.179 --> 00:35:11.219 in your face. And I love it. As Barney Rubble 00:35:11.219 --> 00:35:19.440 would say, love it, love it, love it. This is 00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:23.179 not going in. And I don't want to waste any more 00:35:23.179 --> 00:35:33.500 time with it. So, yeah. All right, that needs 00:35:33.500 --> 00:35:42.739 my attention. Later, folks. All right. One day 00:35:42.739 --> 00:35:46.039 I'll do a comparison between both. One of my 00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:52.300 favorite albums of the 90s. It is Filter with 00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:55.760 title of record. These vinyls that I'm showing 00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.510 you guys, the... Black Sabbath, The Filter, and 00:36:00.510 --> 00:36:02.510 the next few were all purchased at Sound Exchange 00:36:02.510 --> 00:36:08.469 in Wayne, New Jersey. Filter back in the day. 00:36:10.110 --> 00:36:12.550 This is my favorite album by the band. Like I 00:36:12.550 --> 00:36:15.030 said, one of my favorite bands, one of my favorite 00:36:15.030 --> 00:36:20.230 albums from the 90s. This is the first time it's 00:36:20.230 --> 00:36:23.369 been released on vinyl. The lineup was Richard 00:36:23.369 --> 00:36:28.139 Patrick, Gino, Leonardo. steve gillis and frank 00:36:28.139 --> 00:36:35.300 cavanaugh picture of richard patrick who is essentially 00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:48.659 filter uh the b looks exactly the same oh cool 00:36:48.659 --> 00:36:56.769 so it also has girasitol which was on the The 00:36:56.769 --> 00:37:07.429 Crow City of Angels soundtrack. 20th anniversary 00:37:07.429 --> 00:37:10.349 liner notes by Brian Reisman. We'll have to read 00:37:10.349 --> 00:37:16.449 them. There's so much that I love off of this 00:37:16.449 --> 00:37:19.909 album. Going from Sand to Welcome to the Fold 00:37:19.909 --> 00:37:23.829 to Captain Bly. It's Gonna Kill Me, The Best 00:37:23.829 --> 00:37:28.150 Things, Take a Picture, which we used at my wedding, 00:37:28.250 --> 00:37:30.610 which I told Richard when I interviewed him. 00:37:33.190 --> 00:37:38.469 Um... Jurassital and Can't You Trip Like I Do. 00:37:38.590 --> 00:37:41.809 I mean, I've played the crap out of all those 00:37:41.809 --> 00:37:57.440 tracks. All right, another sound exchange. Quiet 00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:02.539 Riot's Metal Health. The first metal album to 00:38:02.539 --> 00:38:04.900 ever hit number one has come on Feel the Noise 00:38:04.900 --> 00:38:10.739 and Metal Health, Bang Your Head. This is a great 00:38:10.739 --> 00:38:18.300 album beginning to end. Metal Health, Come On, 00:38:18.300 --> 00:38:21.860 Feel the Noise, Don't Wanna Let You Go, Slick 00:38:21.860 --> 00:38:26.480 Black Cadillac, Loves a Bitch, Breathless, Run 00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:30.780 for Cover, Battle Axe, Let's Get Crazy, and Thunderbird. 00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:41.579 Yeah, this is the first album to honestly make 00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:47.500 me... realized that there was more music that 00:38:47.500 --> 00:38:50.300 I was going to really be into that wasn't Kiss. 00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:54.699 I bought this on cassette. I played it so many 00:38:54.699 --> 00:38:57.400 times at the cassette that the plastic is broken 00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:01.320 on the bottom. I didn't wear it out, but I would 00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:06.719 take it around with me all the damn time. Just 00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:23.179 love this album. Now this, after picking this 00:39:23.179 --> 00:39:25.719 up, because I wanted to get more things while 00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:29.599 at the Sound Exchange. It is Motley Crue's Theater 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:35.699 of Pain. Crucial Crew, first ever vinyl pressing 00:39:35.699 --> 00:39:38.500 of 40th anniversary remaster. Features Home Sweet 00:39:38.500 --> 00:39:41.059 Home and Smoking in the Boys' Room. This is an 00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:45.760 album that I played a lot. I remember it coming 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:49.619 to Spain the summer it was released. Somewhere 00:39:49.619 --> 00:39:56.079 after it was released and searching for it until 00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:58.519 I got it. I still can remember the cassette. 00:40:00.340 --> 00:40:04.260 The cassette was white plastic with silver stickers 00:40:04.260 --> 00:40:09.900 on it. And they're re -releasing this now. They're 00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:17.159 releasing a box set. There are lyrics. Picture 00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:23.860 of the band. And it's just black, you know, your 00:40:23.860 --> 00:40:29.780 typical. Electro vinyl with the stickers on the 00:40:29.780 --> 00:40:44.159 vinyl. I've listened to this album a lot. City 00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:46.719 Boy Blues is the first track that got me into 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:51.420 including Cowbell into. me playing as a drummer 00:40:51.420 --> 00:40:57.400 uh this is one of these out of sequence so city 00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:00.699 boy blues um i'm going by memory here because 00:41:00.699 --> 00:41:02.559 it says city boy blues fight for your rights 00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:06.380 home sweet home keep your eye on the money louder 00:41:06.380 --> 00:41:09.500 than hell raise your hand to rock save our soul 00:41:09.500 --> 00:41:11.920 smoking the boys room tonight we need a lover 00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:15.139 and use it or lose it so city boy blues smoking 00:41:15.139 --> 00:41:23.710 the boys room um Louder than hell. Keep your 00:41:23.710 --> 00:41:29.769 eye on the money. Home sweet home. Side two is 00:41:29.769 --> 00:41:37.289 tonight. We need a lover. Use it or lose it. 00:41:37.349 --> 00:41:41.969 Save our souls. Raise your hand to rock and fight 00:41:41.969 --> 00:41:49.670 for your rights. I love city boy blues. Louder 00:41:49.670 --> 00:41:51.900 than hell. I think is a really. good song save 00:41:51.900 --> 00:41:54.780 our souls i love tonight we need a lover i love 00:41:54.780 --> 00:41:57.659 and use it or lose it i love home sweet home 00:41:57.659 --> 00:42:02.460 i love as well that's so many great memories 00:42:02.460 --> 00:42:06.400 of that track when it first came out um i will 00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:10.199 not be picking up the box set just can't afford 00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:14.000 it it makes no sense for me to shell out all 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.480 that money yeah does it look cool yeah but i 00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:20.360 got a body count vinyl for 15 bucks That has 00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:27.480 the same effect, all right? So that was my U 00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:45.719 .S. haul. I've got some vinyl here that I picked 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:53.269 up this year. Here in Spain, I apologize if I've 00:42:53.269 --> 00:42:56.670 shown any of these before. I didn't remember 00:42:56.670 --> 00:43:00.789 Brain Fart, Old Man Brain. I forgot which albums 00:43:00.789 --> 00:43:07.170 I discussed the last time. But we've got Smashing 00:43:07.170 --> 00:43:14.150 Pumpkins here. I believe I picked this up before 00:43:14.150 --> 00:43:20.809 I did the last. Vinyl Hall episode, maybe it 00:43:20.809 --> 00:43:24.409 was included. If it was included, again, I apologize. 00:43:25.050 --> 00:43:27.829 I can't pronounce the name of this album, but 00:43:27.829 --> 00:43:30.409 I do love a lot of tracks off of it. Eden, for 00:43:30.409 --> 00:43:33.829 example, the first song is really, really cool. 00:43:36.409 --> 00:43:38.989 So yeah, I'm not going to go too deep into that 00:43:38.989 --> 00:43:42.289 one because as I'm talking about it, I'm thinking, 00:43:42.409 --> 00:43:49.639 you talked about this one already. All right, 00:43:49.699 --> 00:43:51.659 here's another one from the 90s that I really 00:43:51.659 --> 00:43:54.539 love. When people say there's no good music in 00:43:54.539 --> 00:44:00.900 the 90s, people are just lazy listeners. They're 00:44:00.900 --> 00:44:05.760 neurotic outsiders. Record store day exclusive 00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:08.239 on vinyl. So who is in the neurotic outsider? 00:44:08.420 --> 00:44:11.440 Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Duff McKagan 00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:15.260 of Guns N' Roses, Matt Sorum of Guns N' Roses 00:44:15.260 --> 00:44:18.559 at that time. and John Taylor of Duran Duran. 00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:23.960 The cool thing about this album is that each 00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:27.539 member takes turns singing at least one track, 00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:33.880 and the backing vocals are really cool. This 00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:39.739 has a bunch of B -sides as well that are included 00:44:39.739 --> 00:44:42.719 as side four. This is produced by Jerry Harrison. 00:44:43.579 --> 00:44:47.260 The former member of Talking Heads, if I'm not 00:44:47.260 --> 00:44:50.659 mistaken. I'm not messing my names up there. 00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:06.659 Inside sleeve here. I'm guessing these were all 00:45:06.659 --> 00:45:12.139 the... I have the CD in the other room. I'm guessing 00:45:12.139 --> 00:45:14.559 because these are all CD size. I'm guessing that 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:19.039 those graphics are from the CD. Now this is interesting. 00:45:19.159 --> 00:45:24.739 Okay. So yeah, so it's two separate vinyls. They 00:45:24.739 --> 00:45:31.179 are black, but there's no gatefold. All right. 00:45:31.219 --> 00:45:41.119 It's two, two vinyls. One jacket, one sleeve. 00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:43.679 I always mess that up. I forget which is which. 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:48.199 I'm sure some of my vinyl friends are out there 00:45:48.199 --> 00:45:52.800 shaking their fists. It's this. It's that. Sorry, 00:45:52.900 --> 00:46:01.440 guys. I messed it up. Sorry. Another album that 00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:05.019 I think is great from the 90s. A lot of people 00:46:05.019 --> 00:46:06.800 are going to freak out when I show it to them. 00:46:08.469 --> 00:46:11.269 Load by Metallica. I always swore that I was 00:46:11.269 --> 00:46:14.170 going to get the box set for this because I've 00:46:14.170 --> 00:46:17.110 listened to this so much. And for as much as 00:46:17.110 --> 00:46:20.929 other people who poo this on other podcasts listen, 00:46:21.170 --> 00:46:24.309 does it compare to Ride the Lightning or any 00:46:24.309 --> 00:46:27.369 of those albums? I get it. It's a whole different 00:46:27.369 --> 00:46:33.309 beast. It's a different type of Metallica. Okay. 00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:41.679 I like a lot of this album. Ain't My Bitch, I 00:46:41.679 --> 00:46:48.039 really like. 2x4, I think is all right. The House 00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:50.320 That Jack Built, I think is really cool. Until 00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:52.659 It Sleeps is all right. King Nothing is pretty 00:46:52.659 --> 00:46:56.300 cool. Hero of the Day is okay. Bleeding Me, I 00:46:56.300 --> 00:47:00.019 love. Cure, I love. Poor Twisted Me is okay. 00:47:00.980 --> 00:47:03.840 Wasting My Hate is all right. Mama Said is eh. 00:47:05.130 --> 00:47:08.869 Thorn Inside or Thorn Within is okay. Ronnie 00:47:08.869 --> 00:47:15.210 is eh. The Outlaw Torn I love as well. Bleeding 00:47:15.210 --> 00:47:17.690 Me is really cool. Probably my favorite song 00:47:17.690 --> 00:47:22.909 off of it. So yeah, this is the inside of the 00:47:22.909 --> 00:47:26.130 CD. They had Anton Corbin work on this, if I 00:47:26.130 --> 00:47:29.269 remember correctly. I mean, that's Total Depeche 00:47:29.269 --> 00:47:32.309 Mode, the way that's laid out. Now the pictures 00:47:32.309 --> 00:47:36.199 are in the colors and everything. Oh, wow. Uh 00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:40.559 -huh. Oh -ho. This looks like an Octoon Baby 00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:46.639 from U2, folks. An album that I will not be getting 00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:51.659 on reissue on vinyl as much as I love U2. I'm 00:47:51.659 --> 00:47:56.539 not paying like 60 bucks for that album. Sorry. 00:48:03.469 --> 00:48:06.809 So I just picked up the black vinyl. For some 00:48:06.809 --> 00:48:09.909 reason, I thought I had the swirl. But oh well. 00:48:11.829 --> 00:48:16.989 Not going to lose too much sleep over it. I appreciate 00:48:16.989 --> 00:48:19.309 just having it. And there are some people that 00:48:19.309 --> 00:48:23.190 I know that prefer to have the black variant 00:48:23.190 --> 00:48:29.730 anyway. Because they say that sonically, it's 00:48:29.730 --> 00:48:49.289 better. All right. Let's check out... Okay, so... 00:48:49.289 --> 00:49:01.849 The other side has... Similar. The whole Rorschach 00:49:01.849 --> 00:49:18.929 thing and black vinyl. And I have, I actually, 00:49:19.030 --> 00:49:24.150 I think I have every single one of the Metallica 00:49:24.150 --> 00:49:30.590 reissues. All right, so the last vinyl of the 00:49:30.590 --> 00:49:32.929 night. If you know me, you know that this is 00:49:32.929 --> 00:49:38.289 one of my all -time favorite albums. I love a 00:49:38.289 --> 00:49:40.829 lot of this band's catalog, and they've formed 00:49:40.829 --> 00:49:46.289 a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. There 00:49:46.289 --> 00:49:50.650 are other albums that people profess to love, 00:49:50.889 --> 00:49:57.010 like Love Electric, Sonic Temple. But for me, 00:49:57.070 --> 00:50:00.769 Beyond Good and Evil is the best album by the 00:50:00.769 --> 00:50:03.070 cult front to back. I love those three albums 00:50:03.070 --> 00:50:05.530 I just mentioned, by the way. And I love a lot 00:50:05.530 --> 00:50:08.909 of their catalog. I think that they really didn't 00:50:08.909 --> 00:50:12.670 start to lose me until maybe their last album. 00:50:12.829 --> 00:50:15.059 I think that there's really good stuff on. every 00:50:15.059 --> 00:50:23.619 album, but this album, there's the gatefold was 00:50:23.619 --> 00:50:27.880 waiting for this to be reissued for ever for 00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:32.619 ever. I mean, it's ridiculous how much I waited 00:50:32.619 --> 00:50:34.739 for this and how I thought it would never come 00:50:34.739 --> 00:50:38.260 out. So this is reissued by Atlantic Rhino. This 00:50:38.260 --> 00:50:42.780 was released on a road runner when it came out. 00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:48.159 So the big single off of this was Rise. But War 00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:50.659 of the Process, love that track. The Saint. The 00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:53.639 Saint is one of my all -time favorite songs by 00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:58.800 any band. Rise, which I mentioned. Take the Power 00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:01.239 is a cool track. Breathe is a really cool track. 00:51:01.420 --> 00:51:04.619 Nico is a really cool track. American Gothic, 00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:08.000 love it. Ashes and Ghosts are all around me. 00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:13.980 Man, I love that song. Shape the Sky. Such an 00:51:13.980 --> 00:51:17.099 awesome track. Speed of Light. It's really cool. 00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:20.280 True Believers is really cool. And My Bridges 00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:24.139 Burn. Awesome. Produced by Bob Rock. Hey, didn't 00:51:24.139 --> 00:51:26.659 do it on purpose, but two Bob Rock albums back 00:51:26.659 --> 00:51:36.239 to back. Black Jacket, once again. But Red Vinyl, 00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:49.699 Red Translucent. To go along with the color scheme. 00:52:02.139 --> 00:52:06.139 And this is green. Wow, look at that, though. 00:52:07.059 --> 00:52:13.559 That's etched. Or at least you can see it. Yeah. 00:52:15.309 --> 00:52:18.829 This is like a green bottle. It's easier to see. 00:52:18.929 --> 00:52:22.789 I guess it's easier to see there. Is it just 00:52:22.789 --> 00:52:25.030 three sides and an etch? Yeah, so it's three 00:52:25.030 --> 00:52:30.949 sides and then the etching of the cover. So glad 00:52:30.949 --> 00:52:33.349 I have this album. It's one of my favorites. 00:52:35.670 --> 00:52:41.829 There will be more Vinyl Hall episodes in the 00:52:41.829 --> 00:52:47.909 future. And hopefully you guys enjoyed this. 00:52:48.090 --> 00:52:51.650 Want to remind you guys, I'm recording this on 00:52:51.650 --> 00:52:56.630 October 9th, 2025. This will probably come out 00:52:56.630 --> 00:52:58.710 or not probably, it will come out tomorrow, October 00:52:58.710 --> 00:53:03.489 10th, 2025.

So send me 10 bands that you most associate 00:53:21.210 --> 00:53:23.949 with Halloween can be because of their imagery. 00:53:25.190 --> 00:53:29.929 And think of one band here, for example, could 00:53:29.929 --> 00:53:35.949 be lyrics. Either one of these two could be the 00:53:35.949 --> 00:53:39.469 image. You know, there's there's a few things 00:53:39.469 --> 00:53:41.750 out there that, you know, you could consider. 00:53:43.470 --> 00:53:47.269 But it's all up to you. Whatever you deem, whatever 00:53:47.269 --> 00:53:53.110 10 bands make you feel like they're associated 00:53:53.110 --> 00:53:56.869 to Halloween, they're the ones you pick.
