He said "I've Got Albums Up The A**!!!" HUGE Vintage Vinyl Record Collection I stumbled upon at a Garage Sale! #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #thriftwithme #youtubevinylcommunity #garagesale #fleamarket
Love your attitude and your taste in music! Thanks for putting these fun videos together, they help to get through the lack of yard sales in the winter up north.
Finally after all those hrs. of crate digging, it paid off. Congrats TUCO ! Thank goodness that his shed never had a leak coming through the roof. Sounds like he had them stored there for sometime. Great score as well from the show. Thanks for sharing and ☮️.
Excellent collection Tuco, my heart started racing when you showed that Kingsmen 45 but then I seen it was on colored vinyl, if that was a first press, it is worth crazy money. That Hendrix 7" with the small hole is a bonus single that was in his Essential Hendrix volume 2. Ending with Bruce Willis priceless. Thanks for the showings!
Plus I would strip some of the less cool one's that have generic paper sleeves and try and match em up with cool 45s on the same labels as the generic paper sleeves
I bet that took some time to go through and clean up! If even 10% panned out it would be well worth $100. Lots of work but fun! Let us know what you think you got as far as a return or value on these in the end. I was a bit worried about the storing in an old shed and the way they had them stacked.. seemed the boxes had gotten wet previously etc. Heat, humidity, etc cam wreck havoc. Hopefully the records were in decent shape and flat.
Oh man, the find of a lifetime for sure! I’d have as much fun sorting and organizing as I would playing! A perfect Sunday AM video to drink my coffee to!
Yeah, it was a very lucky find! BUT...just wait until you see what I've been calling "The Dig Of A Lifetime!" (I'll be posting it in a few months)...it will literally blow your mind!
Wow! Lots of amazing albums there, Tuco, and $100 for a thousand or more records was the deal of a lifetime (assuming the condition is okay). That was an incredible haul. :)
Fascinating stuff. Always more interesting and cheaper than a record shop. My kinda scene too. I didn't know Hillary Clinton was in Styx. Nice drawing 😉
Nice one Tuco. Hopefully you found some Northern Soul in those 45s. About to start moving 18,000 Edison Diamond discs 160 miles to here. I'm not looking forward to it. Here's to some good finds in the coming year.
@@VinylHunter They are. There are an additional 50,000 to 60,000 78s and 33s I have to get, but within six months. Lots of classical and jazz. Fun times. Currently procuring 4 10x40 foot storage units. That's actually pretty tough as larger storage units aren't available much. This is my belief on searching. In any decent sized city of 50,000 or more, there are over 1 million records in the area. Just gotta find who has them. That's it. People are lazy when it comes to searching, so they don't find much. Or, they are of one mind, which is that they have to find that RL Zeppelin, Butcher cover, or hoard of Black Sabbath. Meanwhile they leave amazing jazz, weird stuff, 45s, just about everything worth much more just because they've never heard of it. I was more excited for your 45s in this collection than the LPs, though they were great.
On some of your records there are clearly humidity and water issues. But the damage is within limits. I bought recently a record. I saw afterwards that the cover was not so flat at the lower side. It has had water damage. But the vinyl plays perfect.
It's fascinating watching someone look through the records at a USA fair. i'm in the UK and you can just feel the difference! Edit: I love USA 45s with the large holes!
I've got a new video coming soon of a recent record fair! I got some footage of digging...but i also got some footage of us selling records at our booth! Funny...i like your 45s with the small holes! We don't see those nearly as much here!
Cheers Tuco, I've been a subscriber to your channel for a while now although I never gave any comments there's always been thumbs up. I'm loving this particular fine you have a lot of great albums that you pick up at the show can't wait to see what's in store when it comes to that big Hall.....
What do you do there...if I can ask!! My in-laws still live there. In fact you went right by their house in the video. I think the garage that you found these records in is in the same neighborhood (Grover) that I grew up in. Small world!!
What a score !! The best of 2022 I would venture to say..10 cents per, and quality titles in there.. curious how some of them will sound. So many in the vc freak out about records stored in barns, garages ect. The big factor is we are drier climate, me more than you in Nebraska. but much drier than back east ! Still watching ! Congrats.
Hehe...the best.....so far....BUT, it pales in comparison to "The Dig Of A Lifetime" which will be uploaded in a few months! Wait til you see that!!!! Mind-blowing!!!! Yeah, luckily these records got water damaged or musty being in a shed!
@@VinylHunter Awesome ! I am on a major garage dig, all cherry picked thrift records collected mostly in the 90's.. his garage has 3500 or so.. stacked and racked everywhere Tuco ! I left some major bangers behind, because he won't sell everything, but I did very very well on the first go round..It's my last video right after my Bangkok Record Shop picks. Later Bro.. Congrats !!!
@@VinylHunter Will definitely watch " Dig Of A Lifetime" I'm thinking I should make an offer on the 3500 at Bill's garage ( last vid ).. he wants to keep 500 or so... we'll see ! Cheers Brother.
Wow jelly of that Louie Louie on purple vinyl. Its a bootleg but wow. Pretty thing. Badass. Nice score on the translucent yellow Pointer Sisters too OMG That weird promo ep with Manhavishnu and Firesign I have NEVER seen that!!! Amazing. The Bruce Willis sleeve is bomb. 😁 7 inch was the most fun part of this haul I think. I used to have family in Nebraska but haven't visited there in decades. Had a crazy hillbilly uncle that lived in a Shack off the Platt River with no electric or running water and no interest in getting it. He had a cabinet Victrola with piles of shellacs - it played well- for a horn machine was incredibly loud... and a battery powered phonograph he used to play mail-order old time radio and party records. 🤣 legit had a PET coyote. Just having known him I figure there has to be endless hidden treasure in that state.
Love Babe Ruth, I don't know how I missed them when they were active back in the 70's, but I'm happy to be finding records from them now. Nice copy of Bobby Gentry album and was thrilled that you mentioned the Mercury Rev reimagining of it. Excellent finds at the record show! Just like you do, I always ask at yard sales if they have any records they want to sell but I've never had a score like that one. I'm glad you didn't look at any of his albums that were up his ass. Amazing haul, some really great stuff in there.
Such a great quote!!! "I've got albums up the ASS!!!" 🤣😂🤣😂 Yeah, i didn't know Babe Ruth until a few years ago when a video of Black Dog was suggested to me on youtube! Great stuff!
Thank you! The crazy thing is, my brother also stumbled upon a complete collection at the same time at a garage sale! They didn't have them out for sale...but he asked "do you have any records?" Turns out the guy had a few hundred in the basement!
Great haul, especially XTC's "Black Sea" in the paper bag! I have that same pressing with the bag. One hundred bucks was an amazing price for all of those records. Congrats! ~ Nicola
@@VinylHunter holy crap, that's a great score! It's been many years since I have found any psych on vinyl. One of my better scores was around 2002 when I went into a Salvation Army in Alabama and found West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band for $1. At the time I did not know who they were (hangs head in shame lol). Late '90s I found Terry Knight And The Pack and Shadows of Knight at the same time at Goodwill. And then about 15 years ago found 13th Floor Elevators "The Psychedelic Sounds" LP along with some other stuff like Zephyr and IF. But things now are slim pickins for psych. Where did you find your copy of United States of America? In a thrift store or garage sale?
It came from what I'm calling "The Dig Of A Lifetime"! I answered a Facebook marketplace ad for a thrift store that was selling a record collection. Turns out, it was 100,000+ records! You won't believe the stuff i got from there!!! Literally mind blowing!!! Videos of that coming very soon!!!
Yes! That was the very first thing i spotted on day two of the dig, which was the first day of digging at the garage that housed the collection...day one was digging through some boxes from that collection that they had brought to their thrift store.
The 45s were loaded with 80s picture sleeves...lots of 70s and 80s hits. I didn't have a problem with warped records, fortunately, even though they were stored in a shed.
Could have just been the camera angle. I’ve been scoring some great records off eBay . People list some rare titles cheap . Just gotta be quick to buy them . Bought a 80s hair band lot for $40. Warrant Faster Pussycat Mr. Big Icon Ratt And a few others . All nice looking
Hi Tuco!! what an awesome haul.... first the record fair , cool additions to the collection Dokken, Scorpions two of my favorites ones... Very cool score, hope you can make a nice profit from some of those record, i bet there some really valuable stuff. cheers and be well
Be you a fan or not, listen to the Elton John honkey cat chateau I'm not a huge fan but of the hundreds of albums I've owned I've never heard anything of sound quality that can compare, you'll see when you open it, the vinyl is almost twice as thick as other records
Really? I've bought and sold it several times over the years...I'm not an ej fan, so i never put it on the turntable. Next time i get it though, i will do so!
@TUCO: Vintage Vinyl Hunter it was in the pile in this video! there may be different pressings again I'm referring to the one that is extra thick vinyl
I'll keep my eye out for it. I've got a postage scale...I've been thinking about weighing records and seeing if they're really 180 grams, how much old records weigh, thin records, etc.
Congrats on the huge haul! There's a lot of great picture sleeve 45s in there. Hopefully, they didn't pick up that awful moldy, musty smell from spending all that time in a shed. That Kingsmen "Louie Louie" 45 on Jerden is a treasure. There's a blue wax version on Discogs that sells for big bucks, but I didn't see your color version in the database. I'm not even sure what color you would call it, perhaps lavender. It looks to be in great condition, too!
Hello musiclover Many records you found at the recordfair, I have heard many like Devo, Sonics but not Elf, maybe something to try. So much music have you time over for a book? Greetings from Sweden....
Hey Tuco ! I know you are busy.. but would you sell me that " What A Long Strange Trip" 2nd Press Record Club Grateful Dead ? Been looking for a clean one for years.. anyhow, if not .. no problemo ✌️
No!!!...but I'll give it to you! IF i still have it, that is...these records went up for sale just a few days after i got them. (I'm not a Dead fan, so i didn't keep it) Dang It! I just had my brother check...don't have it anymore...only have Working Man's Dead. Sorry! I've still got another record i want to send you! Email me your address to: diabolicpossession at cox dot net
@@VinylHunter Cool.. thanks .. I had a record or two for you as well. but I forgot ? Do you remember what I asked you ? .. I will send my contact ! Thanks Tuco ! Now. I'm curious with what you have in mind for me... will leave it as a suprise ! Your videos are getting better and better, very entertaining ! 🤘
Tuco. Do you have an email I can send you some deets on an album I've been looking for for 26 years??? It's always nice to have some additional diggers in the case.
Nice haul ! Little fact for "Old Toy Trains" : its French cover by Graeme Allwright ("Petit garçon") was a hit here. Not a super hit, but it has been covered over and over as we don't have a lot of Xmas songs. Allwright was a New Zealander singer who translated in French a lot of Leonard Cohen tunes, and some Pete Seeger or other folk singers, he was quite popular in the 70's.
My friend Dale is a Dio supercollector. Not sure why, but I've seen more sealed copies of Samantha Sang, than opened. Melanie. Lay Down and Brand new key.
Yeah, i looked into her after filming this. I knew Brand New Key from when i was a kid...and Look What They've Done To My Song! Great song! I need to listen to these Melanie records to decide if i like them enough to keep them.
Had deals galore over the past years Now stuck with entire apartment full of similar stuff. Hard to unload as buyers getting picky about titles and condition. Addiction is hard to shake.
@@VinylHunter I guess location is important. Vancouver Canada has so many pickers now it's hard to find anything. Many thrift shops have jacked up their vinyl prices and regular gas is about $5.70 US per US gallon. You can spend $20 driving around to yard sales and come up empty handed. It was great before Covid hit but I'm getting too old for the effort it takes. One good thing is the record stores are paying more now. Where as discogs, craigslist and other sites have kind of dried up. Discogs due to higher shipping in Canada. Anyway, nice videos, happy hunting. Funny thing today I received an order to Russia but can't find a company to ship. Must be the war.
Yeah it's very difficult to find anything in the city. I have much better luck in rural areas where no one is looking for records. I'm fortunate in that I'm already driving to these places for my job, so it doesn't cost me anything.
Prices so high for easy to find albums,Incredible!!! Just to mention. I own 13.000 lps from 1955 - 1977 No filler. I would never buy what you have bought. Try to stay in the years I just mentioned,you will be in paradise!!!
And uncensored Lovedrive! That's the album that I was looking for at the antique store across from your old antique store when you and I finally met and bullshitted for a while, after digging for 4 hours I did find lovedrive but it was the censored cover. I really didn't care though I just wanted that record!
Yeah, i FINALLY just got Lovedrive to complete all the Scorpions albums that i feel are necessary! Still want uncensored Virgin Killer and uncensored In Trance! Would also like to get an og Lonesome Crow on Brain Records!
@@VinylHunter I've seen several In Trance albums around here from time to time but have only seen, that version, of virgin killer once, back in Omaha. Probably should have bought it
I sold my entire 80's 12" remixes and albums I bought in Japan to a buyer from L.A. for $1,5000 Regretted it a week later but what can you do when you have to move.
lot of those songs on the 45 records i've heard before,billboard chart hits! do you ever keep any of the 45's for yourself to listen to,or just re-sell them?
Saw you pass that T.I.M.E. album up at the record show @2:31 - one of my all-time heavy psych faves! I found that Babe Ruth Lp last week for $4 - was not really impressed though. Esquivel is cool (as was the Flying Saucer Story LP)! And yeah, I need to find a copy of that Bobbie Gentry album! I saw the Plasmatics in NYC back in the day - they blew up a car on stage at the Bond Theatre! Saw (and partied with!) Mott The Hoople also way back then. Yeah, I'm showing my age now! Did you buy more than you sold there? ...Now for your haul: James Taylor - a sure cure for insomnia! Your mega-haul looks something like the 1,000+ LPs I bought last month at an estate sale! The Batman LP is way-cool as well as that Arthur Brown Lp - too bad some idiot used magic marker all over the cover to price it! (Was not a signature). How were the conditions of those LPs in general? I just got a copy of that Bunker Hill 45 last week - it's a gem - as is the Rugbys 45 "You, I" - fuzz garage/psych - their LP is worth finding! The Kingsmen "Louie Louie" 45 Jerden colored vinyl is a reissue. Had to research that one. Still cool! The Underground Sunshine 45 is great - try to find their fantastic LP! Lots of common $1 records there but still a fantastic deal for $100 - you need to "stumble" more often!
I found a T.I.M.E. record a while back at an antique store (along with Funkadelic-Maggot Brain & Free your Mind...!!!) Great band! I recently picked up the TIME record that i passed on (price)...i found it in "The Dig Of A Lifetime!" which will be coming up in a few months on my channel! "The Dig Of A Lifetime" will literally blow your mind!!!!! I love Babe Ruth's album First Base...their cover Jesse Winchester's Black Dog is killer!!! Super jealous you saw Plasmatics!!!! The condition of the records for the most part was really good! Some of them have worn covers but nice vinyl...but, most of them the covers were nice too
Awesome 80's scores. Along with Metal and Punk, I always look for cool 80's. Did you keep that Peter Schilling "Major Tom" single? I would have, bam! into the 45 box.
Hi, Just to let you know! You showed a copy of a Gary Glitter album. You might want to remove that part from your video as Gary Glitter (Paul Gadd) is an internationally convicted pedophile who, after serving multiple jail time in both Cambodia and the UK, is now currently in a UK prison serving 16 years. He has been an obituoual offender since the 70s and will be on the UK Sex Offenders list for life when he is finally released from prison. No record collector in the UK would ever admit to having anything by this monster in their collection. Please check out his bio!.
How lucky, you found LInda Ronstadt on her rollerskates, wearing tube socks!😃🛼🎶 Did you drink after finding it? 🍻❓ I've turned finding that particular record into a VC drinking game. I'm guessing some kid glued the Mad magazine labels on some random rekkid. "CapitAl" Records, hahaha. 🤣 I'd Shazam it to see what's underneath and make a video if I found it. 🌩 I think the "American" version of Twilight Zone means it's the shorter version of the song that will fit on a 7". Nice big score. I don't think you found anything super rare, but there's a lot of decent records there.
