I bought a GIANT RECORD COLLECTION! Over 3,000 Vinyl Records! 

I think if you were to go through all 3000 LP’s, you would find 400 copies of Dark side of the moon.

My eldest brother collected vinyl. These would have been first releases, as he grew up through the mid sixties, 70's and somewhat early 80's. Avid guitarist, drummer and collector of around 800 vinyl records. Wall to wall. About two years ago I asked him if he still had them. "No, I dumped them in a skip when we were clearing out. I stream music now and other stuff I have on CD, they were just taking up space." I was beyond pissed. All it would have took was an email "Hey, do you want this stuff?"

I wanna meet these people who “need to get rid of” their collections. 😅😂 sweet vid!

I was watching this video in bed and when y'all started flipping through the vinyl I ran downstairs to see if my 3000+ records were still in the computer/record room. They were but I coulda swore it was my collection. Cheers from Washington State. K

Just checked out your Vinyl Biography podcast on Spotify. Great stories. Looking forward to checking out the future podcasts. Peace...

WOW, Jim what a great haul ! 2 conclusions--1. You've got a lot of sorting to do 2. You've got a lot of cash headed your way. Always look forward to your videos, because they are numero uno when it comes to interesting stuff.

I prefer quality rather than quantity!!

Damn! You could outfit a whole classic rock station with that haul - if they still existed.

I seen so many of the albums I have. Great taste from who ever you purchased them from. Thanks for sharing with us.

Man, this brought back memories of my old record collections from the 60s and 70s. The problem is where do you keep them all. But you don't get the same feel when you purchase a CD as vs an LP. You study the big jacket and cover and sometimes there's a lyrics sheet in the record. You just can't do that with a CD the same way. Also, when you were buying albums you got to hear a whole lot of different songs done by the group to get a better idea of where they were coming from. Not just buying the hits one by one.

Great collection. Collector myself and it's always special going through a new record haul. Thank you for sharing and hope you found some more great stuff!

Always fun picking up big collection. Congrats my friend!

He literally has the same taste as I do....70s & 80s rock n pop with a dose of soundtrack. Great find...

that collection - Jeeze talk about a time and place. I can almost smell the stale beer, cigarettes and broken dreams wafting out of that collection.

Great stuff, sold my record collection many years ago to transform into the CD age. Still regret doing that. There is nothing better than hearing the warm cracking and pops and the actual motion in playing a record and staring at the album cover while listening to it. Thanks

What an awesome collection! Glad you were able to pick it up.

Nice pick, that should keep you busy for a while. Happy Holidays !

I literally fell in love with this collection because I am into 80s hard rock and metal 😁

Nice haul filled with stuff you’ll have no problem selling! Solid! 💪🏻

Thanks. This was a lot of FUN! Garage sales, estate sales, etc. - I always look for and through the records. I've done this since I remember being old enough to be turned loose in department stores, shopping centers (later known as malls) and the like. My parents always knew where to find me and now, decades later, my wife always knows where to find me. Even when I wasn't buying I was happy just to be looking at and reading album covers (that practice did not transfer to CDs by the way). I fondly remember some great purchases as well as being given record collections by people who didn't want to throw theirs out and thought of me (nothing that ever approached 3,000 at one pop- or "rock") Thanks again, this was a very nice surprise on a cold snowy day in northeast Kansas!

With that many records you’re sure to find a few Tijuana Brass grails.

That's awesome. So much good stuff in there. Even Queen's first album, The Game, Sheer Heart Attack. Queen's great. And some good Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, saw some Beatles. Quite the collection.

Wow man, that is one hell of a haul!! Congratulations!! 🤘🏻

Nice score man😎 just subscribed after seeing our music tastes are pretty in sync and your posts look very cool

My algorithm, designed through years of looking at collections, indicates that there is about 900 Herb Alpert records in there! The stems and seeds of vinyl!

He just skips over abbey road like it’s nothin jesus hahaha

great work , all praise for reviving the vinyls

Great find! 👌 Thanks for sharing

10:33 - 10:35 Me: *Watching Me: you just gonna hop right over Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Mob Rules? #Triggered 😂

i’m 19 and have a few of my favorite hip hop records on vinyl. im a producer so i love sampling and getting inspiration from older records of any genre. really looking forward to expand my collection to the likes of yours some day!

Looks like some great finds, I wish I would come across a collection like this.

Omg! That album collection is clean! I have a few myself!

Looks like boxes and boxes of stuff that will sell.

Frehley's Comet...KISS...Boston. Cool! :)

Absolutely awesome video dude! You've got yourself a bloomin' cool haul of vinyl there, I think you would probably find a bit of almost everything in that lot, I even saw some Elvis in there. I own quite a bit of vinyl myself but I would give anything for a collection like that. I really envy you man!

Geezz...amazing collection. Original Halloween soundtrack...damn!...cant wait to travel to your store!

I am interested in the dryewater record. How much are you looking for?

"everybody loves queen!...I wonder why!" Totally agree...I still wonder why

Nice haul!!! I see so much stuff I could use. Get some rest after carrying all that down stairs,man I can’t imagine how your back feels

Wow awesome buy @Noble Records

I’m so freaking jealous

Definitely a middle-age white dudes collection.

Wow! Nice haul.

Wow, you are so lucky, you hit the jackpot on a bunch of those albums. I saw a lot that I wish I had.🤩

Back to The Future - some good Huey Lewis

Hey,you got a great find there!!that first beatles lp from before capitol got the licensing to release the albums in the u.s

Dude !!! The "SMITHSONIAN " doesn't have a record collection like that. Awesome haul of great rock & new wave, ... Kudos to ya !!!

Nice video. Happy Holidays and enjoy your new music collection/

I hate it when people cherry pick the good stuff then bring me the 20 $1 albums and want $100 lol. You got a great haul bro

WOW! Really nice finds man.

Congrats man,that’s incredible.Peace and Blessings

Wow Dillon, you are looking quite buff. Walking those 100s of boxes down three flights of stairs looks to be a great exercise workout lol. Wow nice stuff, too bad I can't hit your pop up store unless you come to Michigan. Steve

Hey Brother, Awesome Collection, Good Job on finding those and getting a great deal. I wanted to make comment, you passed a Motley Crue Album, that was the Too fat For Love LP, Do me a favor and look and see what label it's on. If it's on Leathur Records then you have yourself a 200 plus dollar album. That was the original label they were on before signing to Elektra. The Leathur Crue albums are limited press. From the looks of the radio station label, that might be one of the original pressings.

I would love to come across a collection like this and just spend a week going through it all.

great haul buddy. love the def lep on through the night! What a great album, one day I will own in on wax.

Great buy Brother. Love looking at Vintage Vinyl Records. Thanks for sharing 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🔊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎉🎉👏👏🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

I can understand how this is overwhelming, but man I would have a blast digging through all that. I might have to ask you a couple prices, I see some things that i might be interested in.

Hey Dylan, how much do you want for that Pretty In Pink Soundtrack?

That is a quality buy for you Dillon. You should have no problem moving it. Enjoyed! Andre’

8:10 crying at the Frehley’s Comet album!!!!❤❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey man. I'll buy that Gabor Szabo alum if you still have it.

3 Pink Floyd Albums and hes like "yea, some more essentials here" Oh yea XD he got it right

Killer stuff in there. I wanna get my hands on a lot of the 80s metal. Also, I totally pegged you as being from NC within a minute. I live / grew up around Asheville so I can tell these things haha.

I use to go to used record shops as a kind of therapy . Flipping through the selection looking for a gem . Always calmed me down

If you live long enough you may eventually get round to listening to every single track in your vinyl collection at least once.

Casually flips through Queen’s first album 😩

Amazing stuff! As soon as you said 80s metal I was hoping to see a Danzig album lol. Looks like everything was well kept and some double copies. Looks like a profit for sure! Best wishes!

Dude this is an amazing collection

Interesting that you flicked past a lot of the classic British Rock n metal and the Southern Rock stuff that would be essential in any collection I might want. And you hovered spent a lot of time talking about stuff and referencing much that wouldn't be bothered about at all. So makes me think that once you've taken what you consider the cream out, there would be still a lot of really great vinyl left in there. I dare say what we each would consider good or lame, would be somewhat different.

*"What Would You do If you had 1 Million Dollars?"* Me: *"Spend It on Records..."*

What a great Haul..Great stuff

Nice haul. you can turn this video into a drinking game... you have to do a shot every time we see Def Leppard's on through the night ;)

Hi, I'm interested in The Beatles Abbey Road Album you showed at 9:51, the Golden Rocks album 9:53, The Beatles England's #1 Vocal Group 10:18, Michael Jackson Thriller 10:20, the Knebworth album 11:32, Paul McCartney & Wings Band On The Run 12:16, John Lennon Double Fantasy 12:17, and The Eagles live album 12:52. How much are you asking for them?

The Back To The Future soundtrack is such an awesome find!

Amazing collection 👏🏻👏🏻😍

Have fun cataloguing your collection! Setting up an inventory is important if you buy and sell. I had my collection on paper notebooks but found out that putting it on Microsoft word got rid of a lot of problems, as far as updating and searching, plus it is in a format easy to handle if you are trying to set up a business

Do you have any Del Shannon?

can we possibly be more jealous???????

I'm a vinyl aficionado that enjoys vinyl! I have more than 300! I have a collection that spans from the 1950's-mid 1990's! Pop, RNB, jazz, smooth jazz, country, holiday, rock, adult contemporary, big band/swing, singers/standards, I have my own gramophone, my significant other has one too. I've listened to them myself for over more than 30 years!

This mirrors my experience. I bought a huge 2500 record collection from an estate sale in Connecticut. I live in Canada and it took me over a year to bring them back, from my friend’s basement. All of the records were European classical music and all of them in pristine condition. The owner had a great system and really cared for his gear. I haven’t had a chance to hear any more than 50 of the records (no matter how pristine they are, I only play them after they have been through the Okki Nokki treatment!)

Wowee. Records in my area are not very good and way overpriced. Rare anymore to find any $1 lps that are not Jim Nabors or Mormon Tabernacle choir.

Damn looks like I need to get more lmao I only have 23.

You have landed on your feet there, band on the run! Ho, ho, ho and merry Christmas to you all.

Great collection!! Wish I had it!!

Quick question. How much you want for the beard?

Dude put that zipper down on the stones album! That zipper is in the middle of one of the tunes!! You want it down so it’s against the label

when your start up coll;ection is at 6 and then you see all these vinyl its both inspiring and intimidating

you lucky bastaaaad!! :D when you said Journey I cracked up though, I was JUST looking through my back room shelf and found my 'journey lp collection' that I ended up with, and never wanted.

Hope that is all on a solid ground floor... or your joists hangers may be about to go. 😂😂😂

Can you give me any zeppelin, Pink Floyd or beatle albums you don’t want?

Lots of great albums, sweet buy.

Tons of great records in that collection, I dream of buying collections like that for my shop.

Nice how hipsters call it a "collection" 😜

I hate you... jk. 👊🏽😎

Don't look back.Boston.. fantastic album... I had a lot of that stuff you went thru. Great find...

What a great collection you scored there! Hate to hear you had to pack it down three flights of stairs. My back is hurting just thinking about it. LOL great stuff. Thanks for sharing! Billy-

3000 records 3000$ no single sales, take it all or nothing..only then have you made your money back, once in. once out, other wise your stuck with 2950 records you cant sell.

That earl , rock record I'll give you $1,000 seriously don't sell it

DANG DUDE! You keep working HARD and finding those deals! 3,000 Quality records... Not much $1 Filler... Depending on what you paid... you should get a good profit on it! You definitely got a lot of good "sellers" in there... Way too nice for my tastes..lol... I got a good amount given to me of what is considered "Unsellable" records by a local shop (similar to what you were talking about doing) ..and I am sharing them with all my viewers. It has been a blast going through them all! I now know the fun and excitement you have going though these big lots and not knowing what you are going to find! I gained a few Harmonicats... Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops... Captain and Tennille... Barbara Streisand and Barry Manlows! WOOT!

Wouahhhh ! Big work my brother ! Nice !
