100 All Analog In Print Reissued Records You Should Own

Okay, I got wrong the The Who's "Tommy"'s original issue date (I said November '68, was May '69) otherwise all of the information should be correct. Here's 100 recommended all-analog LP reissues worth owning. The video runs two hours so unless you are masochistic, you might want to watch in shorter segments but covering 100 LPs took time! Plus there are the usual fun stories interspersed throughout.

For a full written list see the story on the analogPlanet website. Also: the Zappa "Uncle Meat" is not all-analog. Due to tape issues, it's sourced from a 96/24 file. Sorry.

And MIA on the video is the outstanding "The Nat King Cole story" box set, remixed from the 3 track tape "live" to lacquer by Kevin Gray. Also, as of today (4/4/19) copies remain of the stereo UHQR "Axis: Bold as Love" from Analogue Productions.

This is WAY more entertaining than any “Best of...” deserves to be. Great story telling and funny as always. Love it!

Bad vinyl is a huge disappointment and good vinyl is a real joy. Thanks so much Michael for helping us find the good stuff!

My first pressing of Pink Floyd's Division Bell I bought at 13 in 1994 has been played at least 50 times. It still sounds pristine. No crackles, surface noise, skips or anything. I wanted to be different and I was tired of loaning out tapes or CD's and them coming back ruined. So I switched to vinyl for a lot of albums or bought LP's of albums I really liked. Lots of 90's first pressings. My father taught me how to care for vinyl, how to store it, how to clean it and how to love it. This man (Analog Planet) knows what he's talking about. Great video!

I really enjoy watching this periodically! So much fun hearing the stories, and records! It's like when you ask your grandparents to tell you that story again, eventhough you heard it a million times! Never get tired of it!

Most fun YouTube video ever. I’m not an analog guy but being a music and history lover the stories associate with each record was amazing …

Thank you for your dedication to this art-form and sharing your wisdom about the "better versions" of these records.

It is such a pleasure to listen and watch to you! It would be understatement to call you entertaining, you are giving out priceless advise on what we can purchase, collect and know what to seek for and value, something that you mentioned will be CLASSIC as is Classic music in 50 or even 100 years and further in the vast space of time. That just went right thru my body and mind, how I can collect these and one day, hopefully my grandkids would find out they have an absolute pieces of art at their disposal. THANK YOU for your recommendations and your spark of genius !

“ Theses records will not be available forever... if you have the money don’t be cheap.” Thanks for putting this together. Subbed. P.S. Loved your weed/slide rule/Forest Flower story. Also your Daryl Hannah/Oh my story is a hoot. And I would love to hear your “Tron” stories.

You are bang on about the wearing out Michael. I listen and play old soul and reggae - mainly 45s. Most of these have been bought and sold many times and been used at various gigs / parties etc.

Still going strong and I would never swap vinyl for other formats ever. I do try whenever possible to purchase original pressings as I've found these do sound better and louder in most cases than represses/bootlegs etc. ( and Obviously worth more )

When it comes to some of them ( especially the soul tracks ) the originals are silly money, especially if some bright spark considers it to be of the Northern variety when there's always another zero wacked on the price for good measure!

Great channel. Checking in from the UK 👍

Every week or so, I just pick a random minute and purchase one record. Thank you Michael for such a wonderful gift.

130 minutes of the vinyl master showing us records. yes please!!

Hello Mr Fremer. My love for vinyl has increased ten fold because of you. You have helped me find the joy in music again. Thank you so much.

Judy Sill! Not often enough does her work get the attention that it deserves. If you don’t have her LPs get them.
Thanks for paying her this respect!

[KorbenDenver]

This was really great, Michael!!! Looking forward to more videos like this! I'm sure it took forever to narrow these down. Thanks for doing it though!

[abufletch]

Would love to see you do an update for 2021.

[robfrancis]

You're fantastic Michael, love your taste in music, components, and storytelling. Keep it real brother.

[tomlacorte]

Dude, I've read your reviews for may years, loved some not so much others. I'm watching you for the first time on youtube, at first I thought what a pompous ass, half way through your vinyl presentation I've concluded you're a regular kind of guy who loves his music. Keep up the good work!

Hi Michael. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. I really enjoyed it. I've been buying music since about 1967 and for some of my favorite performers, I thought I knew their discography. But you've introduced me to a number of albums that I was not familiar with. I will now go about correcting that situation. Thanks again; much appreciated.

[terryhanson]

Originally i opened this video to view 100 of Michael's favorite albums, hoping that there would be something there that i would have to have for my collection. I was thoroughly engulfed by Michael's story telling and would gladly buy a ticket to a "one man show" just to listen to him. Nice job Michael.

Thank you Michael. We have so much to be thankful for with your videos.
