To all the bitter folks in the comments section, this guy has basically devoted his life to collecting. He has worked his ass off to learn all this music and where to find it. He was into it long before it became "trendy" again. I wonder how many of you sold him or someone like him your records decades ago when it was hip to hate vinyl. He has also had to sell off most of his collection multiple times as life has required. He has earned this. Maybe try learning from him instead of trying to shame him into giving you records in the spirit of "fairness."
Haha thank you. I could keep it to myself, but I really do want to share the excitement and knowledge with you guys! Reissues are available for most. And all of them can be heard somewhere online. I appreciate your kind words!
One of the best things about your channel, Dillon, is every video you’re like an excited kid at Christmas. The back to back Josefus, Eternity’s Children, and My Solid Ground did me in 😂
At this point, these videos are strictly educational. I hear of so many bands/artists/compilations I would never even know exist. Just goes to show the journey never ends!
Dillon, Your enthusiasm for vinyl has always been inspirational. I have fallen in and out of love with my vinyl collecting over the years, but you always have a way of making me fall back in time after time.
Hey @Noble Records, over a year ago I found your channel. I was obsessed with your knowledge on the music and your collection. November of 2022 I was falling asleep watching your videos every night. Since then I have amassed a collection of my own spanning all genres from hip-hop all the way to ambient and everything in between. My collection is probably about 800 records now. And I still have nothing to listen to. Haha! Jk. I’m always grateful to see your videos pop up on my RU-vid and I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to start collecting on a different level. Expanding my sound horizon. Thank you Dillon!
You’ve inspired me and given me so many album recommendations through these videos. I also have started collecting records again and decided to make my own music related content as well! Thanks for inspiring others with your knowledge!
To all who say he is showing off, no he doesn't. I am in the same situation, I just bought 43 high grade collectable Jazz records for my collection and I am so happy. I got them to a very good price from a friend and when these rare occasions happen, you are happy. You doing great my friend, you are not bragging, nice that you share your knowledge wich I don't because I am lazy.
I think it's the fact he always says it's 'an incredible psyche record' or something similar. It's very rarely incredible to listen to, just incredibly priced . Hence a lot feel like he is showing off because a lot of the music is just plain ass, it's rare and expensive because no one liked it, and they never pressed many copies
@@njwtube I also have a very different taste than he has, I like the educational aspect, I see records I don't know about. Would I buy them? NO! I would sell them and buy the music I like. I also think it is a collectors thing, when you know the main stream stuff, you make the deep dive in a style. To me, most of the stuff he shows sounds bad, a lot of bands who never made it for a reason. But he likes it and he likes to share his knowledge in the style, I appreciate this.
I think you really have to be careful saying something is bad, maybe your tastes haven’t evolved to that point yet. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s bad, or whatever. Just showing the stuff I’m excited about adding to my collection.
@@noblerecords Good and bad is always supjektiv, no question. But as I am a musician all my live and played with a lot of the cats, been a university teacher of my instrument, I can judge better than most, what is technically good and what not. A lot of the Psych stuff is very creative, but that is not enough for me, I want creativity plus technical ability. In short, I am a Jazz collector🙂
@@noblerecords 'tastes haven't evolved to that point' lol. I appreciate all kinds of different music, and a lot of this stuff is bad, point blank terrible to listen to. It has heart and I can see why a collector such as yourself would enjoy it due to the price tag, but there's much much better music out there, that's for sure.
I’m a vinyl archeologist in Greenville SC just down the road from you & can attest that the thrift searches in our region are among the best anywhere. It’s all about dedicating the time to go to several spots everyday and not getting flustered during the weeks of flipping through every Andy Williams album purchased in a 50 mile radius in the last 50 years. Just when I think seeing one more Mitch Miller record is gonna make me melt down in front of a helpless Salvation Army employee there lays a Libyan psychedelic album or a stack of rare Northern Soul 45s that pay my rent for 2 months. Good finds my Carolina brother, keep it up!
Dillon, thank you so much for sharing your finds! I actually have a little notebook that I carry around with me in my truck to keep an eye out for… I love the part where you said it just doesn’t seem right to swap out a nicer disc into a nicer jacket to make a VG+ package…I feel the same way, I can’t do it (unless the jackets/inserts are identical in every way) Thanks for all of the time and enthusiasm you put into sharing your knowledge😊 LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DRYEWATER RELEASE!!!
Booth, Davis, and Lowe is a record out of Phoenix. I've had customers come in and tell me he was a school teacher who would bring his master tapes into class and talk to the students about making records while passing the tapes around the class.
Good for you man! This is unreal. And yes. Keep all 3 of those😂 You’re a record store owner… if there was ever a person who could justify multiple copies of albums…🤘🏼. Keep them coming.
I'm just always grateful to see Dillon showing records that are not the norm on YT. Do people not get absolutely sick of seeing the same old classics and reissues? Music is a constant journey of discovery but many seem to stop at the most obvious classic groups and never move on. The records Dillon is showing here are on the radar of most serious collectors who collect underground psych, rock, funk etc and have been for decades. That argument that all this obscure stuff is rubbish and just collectable because it's rare does my head in. Most of us don't spend hundreds on one record just because it's rare. There's usually a great deal of talent in these groups. OK, they may want to sound like Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Meters etc and fall short but that's part of the charm. Long may clueless folks continue to dig losing their mind when they find a rough Steely Dan. I'll be in the box after you pulling the rare private press monster😂
To each their own. I honestly can’t fathom feeling so entitled as to criticize someone for showing records they are excited about, but hey, it’s RU-vid. Thanks for the kind words. I guess I need to show more of my zeppelin records! 🤣
We just had the winter "Vintage Electronics Expo" here in Detroit Michigan area (Southfield Pavilion actually) on Jan 20 2024, and the vinyl pickers were hotly picking the bins it seems..... theres a few videos of the event on YT from this year and years past but its mostly about the equipment, not much about the vinyl.
Wow, that's some haul for 2024 already. I'm happy too, I finally took the plunge and splashed out on Bacamarte Depois Do Fim and my doesn't know what I paid for it (yet).
I don't even have 300 records in my collection in 5 years of collecting and he does it in a month haha. Such a great stack of rare stuff! Love your videos, greets from The Netherlands.
It’s always mystified me just how rare the My Solid Ground is. I think I ONCE saw an original in a store here, for a very steep price. It’s an absolutely killer record!
Another great updates. I got a couple of grails myself this month Dave Greenfield and JJ burnel Fire & Water Japan Promo LP And Metallica Garage inc, Louder,Faster,Heavier on LTD White vinyl 5 LP box set to 100 Copies world wide. Been lookint for a copy for over 20 years.
If you like Mazzy Star check out Opal’s lone LP and comp of early stuff called “Early Recordings” it’s the guitar players pre Mazzy Star band with different female singer. The LP is total heavy psych and the “Early Recordings “ LP sounds like VU and Nico. Both are different and both are totally essential.
Stupid question, Outside of Big Star, how do you find out about all of these bands and their releases? Your channel is constant music education. Amazing!
Well this was balls-to-the-walls nuts. I don't know how you can top that. Now you can definitely take a few years off, not just one. But seriously good for you. I will concur January was a buyers market and was able to acquire stuff I never expected to and for almost under-valued prices. Enjoyed! Definitely some I didn't know but nothing can top Relatively Clean Rivers. If you ever see another, or an upgrade copy, pretty please think of me for the downgrade. I'll send ya a uhaul box of choice stuff. Cheers
I am the one who managed to find the extra tracks for the upcoming Galaxis release from talking with the band. Everyone needs to keep Ancientgreaserecords on their radar cause the other tracks are even heavier than the songs on the 45 😉
Brilliant video as usual. My Solid Ground, Aardvark and Twink I have original copies, The Deviants and Agitation Free r.i's. re Andy Summers: He also played guitar (pre Police)for a guy called Kevin Coyne and is on a couple of albums by him inc the live double In Living Black & White (a fav of mine). Hard to describe but KC used to work in mental institutions so its a wild acid/psych folk that teeters on a rant....think Gil Scott Heron at his angriest...but with a very very UK vibe. Marjory Razorblade is his best effort. Not sure how easy he would be to find over there but worth checking out. Keep up the good work!
@@noblerecordsIn fact over the years I’ve seen dozens of your videos. All I’m saying is that as a fan of anything we choose to collect sometimes we can be more enamored with the object. It happens even more when people become content creators. Inevitably they seem to become more about creating content and flexing than the content (in this case the music) itself. As an example, the Heath Brothers is incredibly collectible and impressive to show but it’s in no way a jazz-funk record.
One thing I’m feeling is overwhelmed. The prospect of screen shotting every one of these and all your other huge haul vids, and learning the titles memorizing the covers and searching for them or at least keeping my mind open to stumbling on them. Yeeesh!!!
I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of "Radio City" for a couple of bucks in a cheapie bin in the 70s. Even luckier. I didn't like the album and only played it once. Looking forward to getting to know it a little better when I pluck it out of storage.
Interesting albums you show us here, but have you showed any Sky Sunlight Saxon solo album or swedish GOAT or "Trummor och Orgel" (Drums and Organ) both in psych style
@@noblerecords too bad. I was thinking I could send my copy to you. I got it from a friend when it came out, listened two or three times, and I should check it condition. I will see if it has Dust in pink on cover.
I got that stonewall from ya its awesome splatter played nice I love story behind it --- I liked your other video talking about in store vibes how you like talking meeting people - I remember street light records opened in San Jose ca. you'd walk in no one said shit to you entire visit very weird vibes no music playing weird then you go few blocks towerecords its like a party - i been uploading tons rock vinyl come check it out its all over - I could use some rock friends - ☠☠☠
Great vids but I think Discogs and Ebay have ruined collectors of anything who used to find things in shops and thrift stores. I love your 1 copy rule. Can't stand that UK Beatles guy with massive piles of Beatles albums.
Id love to hear more about how you actually found them. It's not exactly a crazy find if you just pay a few thousand bucks to someone online . Hoping some were found in the wild, either way be good to hear how much you paid
Well I don’t pay and tell for many reasons. And I never will. Not really anyone’s business. They are found in various ways, would be nice to find them all out in thrift stores but that will never happen with this type of stuff, you gotta get creative on how to get them. Some I found in collections, but most I traded with friends. Which is also special to me.
@@noblerecords Yeah I get that, but the video is called Vinyl Jackpot, suggesting you paid a lot less than they were worth or got lucky buying a collection where someone didn't know their worth. Kinda sad if you hit the jackpot off buddies 😂
