free is nice! I cherish the music more when they are a gift from someone. I sent that package to Larry Graves just over a week ago with some drawings and a few CDs and the look of gratitude on his face was worth every minute and every cent!
@@morrisgautreau6704 Gifts will always be more special because the person went out of their way in thought of you to hand pick something out/do something for you. Free is great as well. I'd prefer these not going in the trash or handed to someone at thrift shop to then be flipped online.
@@JJ-qs9hu Oh wow! That is awesome! I'm getting so into them recently. I really love their sound and all their stuff is really great. I only need 2 more albums of theirs. ✌🏻
Great video, love seeing the discs that you're saving from the landfill and giving a good home! I was the recipient of a friend and his wife's small CD collection around 2010, when his wife directed him to put all the CDs into iTunes and get rid of them. It was a mix of 90s alternative rock, classic rock from the 70s, and some Portuguese and Italian folk and pop. I kept some and sold some. Hope you enjoy those INXS discs -- I still pull their stuff out regularly and saw them live on the tours for "Kick," "X," and "Full Moon, Dirty Hearts" -- always impressive and energetic. "Shabooh Shoobah" is probably my favorite of all and it's one of the handful of albums that I've owned on vinyl, cassette, and CD. By the way, that unusual package for "Welcome to Wherever You Are" was called an Eco-Pak and was displayed unfolded and turned on the short end to mimic the shape of the old longbox CDs from the 80s and to be displayed in the same bins as them with less waste. They didn't last for long, and I think the only other CD I have with one is "Infinity Within" by Deee-Lite. Also, I.R.S. reissued R.E.M.'s albums from their time on the label (1982-1987) in the late 90s with extra tracks from b-sides, soundtracks, and such under the series "The I.R.S. Years." That's why your other copy of "Lifes Rich Pageant" is a bit different. Another legendary band and one of my all-time favorites!
@@erics9511 I'm glad you were able to save those from a dumping ground as well. Thank you! No way, that's my favorite album by them too! I have it on cd and cassette. I would love to snag a vinyl copy soon. Ohhhh thank you for the clarification on the REM disc, that makes total sense and I guess I'm glad I have both copies now lol. Yeah REM is super good. Thanks for watching man! 😊✌🏻
@@CDRabbitHole Haha too funny! I'm telling you, check craiglist, fb marketplace (if you use Facebook). People just give stuff away or sell stacks for cheap. It's the way to go. Anything you get as doubles, you can always sell and put that money towards things you want. 😊✌🏻
@RyBuys One more thing buddy. The Philips boombox has your classic bass reflex sound that we all know and love from classic 90s and 2000s bulky Philips boomboxes that use to have the 2 cassette decks, and the top loading CD player. reviews are very good on amazon. I'm going to get mine soon and i hope you pick one up soon man. it's going to give you a reason to get more CD's. so cool of your friend at work to give you that stash of music in this video. good stuff man. i'm happy for you.
@@Vinylandtacos You can always check them out if you're curious lol. God and Texas is pretty good for sure. Not sure if they are on like Apple Music or not. I know you can listen to it on here if you search it. ✌🏻
@RyBuys My friend you have nothing to worry or lose sleep over the fact that CD's are going away. let's thank the younger generations are keeping this format and the cassette format alive. as well as our precious vinyl format. thank them for keeping this alive. the younger college kids in their 20s, and the teenagers right now. thank the guiardians of the galaxy movies too for bringing back cassettes. thank the artists now days. man, you like oasis? you want oasis? you want an oasis re-union at some point? I hope Noel and liam get the band back together. don't know why liam says it's not happening according to an article i read a while back. but if you love oasis like i do, you gotta pick up the John squier and noel gallagher album that dropped last year. i forgot the album title. but i will definitely post a song from that album here in the comments. sounds like classic oasis. liam's voice sounds amazing. reminds me of how he sang "champaign supernova" so incredible on Oasis's second album, "what's the story morning glory". it is great. i heard that album last year. that liam gallagher and john squier released last year in march. dude it's as close to oasis music we're getting right now since the band isn't together. so if you want oasis, that liam gallagher and john squier collab is what you and i and all the oasis fans will get to hear for now. pick it up on vinyl and CD. i hope amazon's got a cassette copy of the album too. pretty sure amazon's got lady gaga's new album that dropped 2 weeks ago too. haven't heard it. that's on my bucket list. to hear that album too. what a time to be alive in 2025. and chappell roan, buddy you will love her music. unique voice she has. sleep token, is another artist you got to get on CD and vinyl. their fourth album drops in may. their first three albums are amazing. metal mixed with pop and R&B elements. Vessel is an angel of a vocalist.
@@theblind_guitarist1990 Yeah man it's definitely a big help that the younger gen is supporting this stuff again. Love to see it. I'll definitely check that out. I have to listen to the new Gaga, that's the second time I've been recommending to listen lol. Thanks man! ✌🏻
@@RyBuys You're welcome man. anytime. i'm glad you're a physical media music lover like me. we can't turn down free stuff. speaking of free stuff. man, so one night in the summer of 2006, my parents, brother and i went to this old drive-in place in scotsdale, arizona. and as my dad and i came back to our mini van after going to main restroom facility, we find something on the ground. low and behold, my dad found a small pack of CD's, in a small square CD case. I'd say the case held about 20 CD's. a small booklet CD case. the case was super worn out and dusty. i still have a few of the CD's. not all of them. one of them i found, was a copy of a Morphine album. it has 21 songs on it. and "lucky day" is on there. you like blues? and if you enjoy it. check out morphine. i heard and read somwhere that the lead singer died back in the 90s. and this is a 90s blues band. guitars, and saxaphones, dude it's amazing. the saxaphones follow the guitar riffs. it's awesome. that is literally my bedtime album. the morphine album. don't know what the albums called cause iTunes doesn't recognize the CD when i try to import the CD using my external DVD drive that i plug into my windows 11 laptop. morphine's music will sound good on vinyl. great stuff from the 90s. also man that new dream theater albums killer too. so glad, their original drummer mike portney is back in the band. sounds like dream theater from the 90s and 2000s. awesome prog metal and prog rock.

Inxs has been a favorite since i was a teenager. First concert i went to by myself in 1988 at age 15. Still the best concert ever been to.
