I''m glad you're keeping Hard Promises. Surrounded as it was by some other classic Petty releases, I feel it often goes under the radar, and it's one of the most underrated albums of that era.
Awesome! I'm 59 and love listening to my old high school favorites on vinyl. ARS was a favorite of mine growing up and still is. Thanks for watching the video!
Mountain Man Picker: thanks for posting. At 8:15: WFIL was a BIG AM radio station in the 60's and 70's in the Philly region. Before I started listening to FM rock stations. Also the Donovan album you picked "Barabajagal"(pronounced Barra-Ba-Jag-Ull) has Jeff Beck on guitar on the title track. Good song. Cheers!🥨
That was close to watching myself go through boxes. Complete with sighing and going back and grabbing the damaged copy of Tommy in the first box! Too bad the upgrade wasn't much of one. There were at least another 10 I would have grabbed - not even counting the jazz, which I would have taken a chance on for that price. Agree on keeping the Petty, but almost gasped when you flipped by the Super Sessions. Al Kooper with Stills on one side and Bloomfield on the other? It's as good as you think it should be. I'd like to think you already have it, but if not, snag it if you see it again. You'll want to keep it.
Thanks for the tips and comments, appreciate that! Yes, I have the Super Sessions already, great LP! But… if I could go back to that sale, I would have grabbed a lot more, including that box of doo wop jazz records. I missed a UK pressing of Who’s Next because I already have a couple, but would grab it now. Live and learn.. keep on picking! Thanks again 👍🏼
Lot of good stuff there for $3 each. As others have said, Earth Island We Must Survive, great one. That JJ Cale and Will the Circle be Unbroken, are really good records. The Getz album and some other jazz, Who's Next and some other would of been good pick ups.
Wow what a nice collection you picked out especially those two Yes albums and that Lou Rawls and Paul McCartney albums surprised they didn't have any led zeppelin that's my favorite band!!!
That, The Beatles, and The Stones all disappeared shortly after 9. They were conspicuously missing from the collection, and is probably what the first people grabbed. The obvious stuff disappears immediately. I've run into collections like that, where I'm saying to myself "if this, and this, and this are here, that surely means this must be somewhere in here." And it probably was, but I got there too late. Sometimes you get lucky, though - there were still lots of solid choices left, in this case.
The Who "Who's Next" original issue on Polydor. That one has value to it even in fair condition. Not to mention how great the music is. I have almost every album you picked out and some you didn't. The difference between my collection and most every collection I see, is that my Albums are in mint condition. Fun pick though. Albums galore...even in the Mountains!
Hey, thanks for watching and for the awesome comments! I wish I would not have left that German release of Who's Next behind! I have two copies of that album already and they are in great condition but that German release, even in G+ condition, was worth bringing home. That's cool that you have a lot of the same LPs as me and in mint condition. Very cool! Keep on collecting and pickin'!
@@mountainmanpicker Wow..I didn't know it was a German release. Yes...that would have been worth grabbing up. I have very few German release albums. One that comes to mind is calle, "West-Bruce and Laing", Leslie West of "Mountain" It was definitely a Party album based on the condition of the Album cover, (a beer can ring and melted wax on it 😄) that I picked up used, and it still sounded great! Happy Record hunting!
" Earth Island We Must Survive" is a 50 to 65.00 Psychedelic classic that's hard to find.. and many of those jazz LP's held the highest value in those boxes. We all get what we like and know, I do understand. Nice video.. Thanks ! ✌️
@mountainmanpicker2023 It's tough. I know.. There's the records we want to fill holes in our personal collection, and in your case, what you will let go of to sell. In my flip videos, guys from around the world have really helped me out with records I knew nothing about, or very little. At Bill's. I have the luxury to be able to go back and pick something that I was told about ! I have learned tons from folks viewing my channel ! The best part, is that we can go on a dig while sitting at home watching someone else do the dirty work on RU-vid LoL ! Speaking of, I'm going back to Bill's in a couple of hours ! Whoo hoo !!! 😂
Yes! I love all of the comments, they are helping me to be a better picker and collector of vintage vinyl. I need to find a "Bill's" place in my area! Looking forward to seeing your next video. Thanks!@@jtsrecordroom3963
The best album is Laura Nyro's New York Tendaberry (1969), tbe artistic pinnacle of modern songwriting. Nyro was David Geffen's first artist under management and by 1969 she made him a millionaire twice over. He considered her the greatest artist in contemporary popular music. He was correct. Nyro "probably influenced more successful songwriters than anyone " Elton John, 2007.
Wow! Thank you for watching. I did not know the history on Nyro. Very interesting and informative comments, I really appreciate you picking that one out 🙂
Check out your Freewheelin Bob Dylan album vinyl. Look at the dead wax (the space between the last song and the label) and see if the numbers end in 1 with a letter afterwards. If so, you could have an original copy worth thousands of dollars. Also look at the third song. If it is the widest band (on side one) then you have an original. On the common pressing, the widest band on side one is the last song. I’d like to know what you have?
Hey I enjoyed this video I'm an avid record collector myself I love the way you look at records that's the way I do do it I hate the rush through videos
Thanks, I appreciate that. I absolutely love flipping through Vinyl records and finding the ones I need. Sucks when you have to be in a hurry. Thanks for watching!
Yeah.. I was rooting for you to pick up Getz Gilberto on Verve.. looked like NM. And some of that early Rock n Roll and Doo Wop ! I am enjoying this flip video.. at 3.00 per record, I might be a little selective as well ! 😊
@mountainmanpicker2023 Sure thing ! My favorite kind of record video's , and you flip them well, where we can see the covers and condition.. It's not an easy task in cramped spaces out there in the real wild !
dudes has no clue ,,i would never buy albums in that bad condition, to much ring wear,he paid $3 a record for 50 cent records,wonder how much he tries to sell them for
That first box looked good... For $3 each I'd pick up those doo wop bands in a heartbeat (I'm in England we don't see those so often, rock and roll era obscure stuff, black vocal groups, lesser known rockabilly artists etc , they command good prices with a younger crowd, and those will be long out of print I'd imagine). I'd definitely take early r&b, and jazz records, even reissues, over common rock records all day. I'd pick up Paul Revere and The Raiders over rough Bob Dylan too, but you know your customers, so fair enough.. I have a store, sometimes I have to auction batches of Dylan albums, they're so everywhere. I find classic rock era harder to move. Eighties and nineties are hottest right now...Enjoyed your vid tho, keep on truckin!
Hey thanks for the kind comments and tips. Looking back, I wish I would have grabbed that box of jazz and rockabilly LPs, glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏼
Thanks for noticing that, I think I may have passed on JT on this pick because I have several of that LP. But, lately I've been picking up Jethro Tull more often.
You got some good ones. I noticed a Cowsills LP's in there that might have been good choice for 3 bucks. Also,a little run of DC5 that might have also been good. But then, I like 60's music.
I can tell you’re not a jazz fan. But you found some great music for certain.I guess the Ray Charles albums were in poor shape, that’s a shame. It’s Hard by the Who is my least favorite album by them . But I think you did very good just the same.
Thank you for commenting and for watching the video! I am now starting to collect and sell more jazz records now, wish I would have picked up about 100 more records at this sale.
The Johnny Cash Ride this train was a early Columbia.I have two copies of it a stereo and a mono promo copy.The hymns album is his third Columbia album I have a mono and a stereo promo copies.
Wow, didn’t know Duane played 🎸 guitar on that LP! Thanks for the heads up on that! I will be on the lookout in the future, thanks for checking out the video.
Thanks for the question, I actually have several George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, etc.. so I passed on this pick, but recently picked up more comedy albums at an estate sale. I agree with you! Thanks for watching.
Yes, I am discovering that I left some gems behind. If I could do it again, I would have made an offer on the entire box, lots of sealed and mint records in that box. Thanks for the tip!
For this price, offer something for the whole lot and check them home. That's what I used to do and made a lot of money out of them. I don't like jazz, but as someone pointed out, they can worth it. And remember that it's not because a record is the first edition that it's better or worth more. Many first editions are hot garbage.
Man you got some really great albums! I wish I was there..lol I am not going to be that guy telling what you should have got and what you missed, you got some good stuff!
I've got all of Carlin's LPs in my personal collection including Steve Martin, Robin Williams, National Lampoon, Cheech & Chong, etc.. Thanks for the comments my friend.
Mountain Man Picker!!! Dude why didn't you grab that, Waymore / Watasha Waylon Jennings One of if not the best there ever was......And all of his Albums are worth a decent amount of 💵✌️
Thanks for pointing that out! I already have tons of Waylon, you are correct, great LP! I'm going back for more picks this week. Thanks for the helpful comments!
Great tip on the ringware, thanks! There were a lot of LPs I pulled out that had some warping and/or scratches and even found the wrong LP in The Rolling Stones Black and Blue LP, so had to put several back in the boxes. But, everything I brought home was VG+ or better vinyl. Missed some good ones though!
I see you skipping quite some amazing records here (Tony Scott music for zen meditation, Vanilla fudge, Gil Scott Heron). Too bad you didn’t give these a chance!
Thanks! I appreciate your tips! I already have some of the Vanilla Fudge LPs but will definitely be on the lookout for Tony Scott and Heron for sure. Thank you for watching!
Saw that Music for Zen Meditation too. I bought it in the 70s. It's a great recording and music! Pained me to see it left behind. Some of that jazz too, as mentioned ;) You got lucky though! Thanks.
Great video. I'm curious, you seem to know vinyl very well, why don't you assign grades to the sleeves & records in your eBay listings? That's pretty standard for selling vinyl.
Thanks for the comment and for watching. I do assign grades (G+, VG, VG+, etc.) in the descriptions of all of my eBay listings for Vinyl. I also have a very large collection on Discogs and they are all graded as well. Thanks!
