Took A Trip Thrifting On A Hot Tip For Records, And Ended Up With 160 R&B Soul Funk Disco and Jazz Records In NM To Mint Condition For 60 Cents A Piece !
This was my other very best haul of the last 2 years ! I was thrifting, and this man said " Are you a record buyer?" He came to my work.. the very next morning , and I bought these for 60 cents each ! I keep them together and pull records from these wine boxes to spin.. Thanks !
It’s bittersweet sometimes seeing these kinds of videos of guys buying records that they don’t even know what they are. There is so much heat in there. Guys like myself have been looking for 20 plus years just to see guys come along now that vinyl is hip and find these stashes. Good for you. There’s more in those boxes than you know.
Thanks for checking this out, and yes.. There are stacks and stacks of bangers in this haul. I have enjoyed every single one of these records since I scored this amazing haul last year. I have been a fan of many of these bands since they broke in the 70's and 80's and have a varied taste in many genres.
I have been collecting records for over 50 years ( 1971 ). My cousins boyfriend used to manage Funkadelic, Parliament, and Rare Earth back in '76.. I've met tons of performers, and I'm a player as well.. I didn't mean to make you envious, I have a knack for finding good records inexpensiveley, and I do know what's in these boxes and love these bands/ artists✌️
Amazing finds, great albums all around. The highlight for me is the William DeVaughan record, be thankful for what you got. Such a great album. Thanks for the video
Appreciate this suggestion.. I only spun the first track when I bought this amazing haul ! I will listen to both sides later on.. I love these records, and I got a similar batch of soul r/b 70's and 80's not long before this one.. I was fortunate to come across these ! Thanks for watching 🫡
Wow. I can feel your excitement coming across this as you show the albums in this video. Wonderful these lps have found their way to a great appreciative home! Thanks for sharing this amazing serendipitous haul.
Yes.. These records are better off with me, for sure ! He said, " I don't like this kind of music!" And that's when I talked him down on price.. I usually am very fair with folks and don't haggle. I love these records ! Whoo hoo😅
Yah Mon ! Very cool and funky vibes on these records ! I'm having a blast with these, outstanding vocalists, and great sounding records all minty condish ! Thanks so much..✌️
Hi JT. A good job-lot from the chap who spoke to you at the thrift store. It will be fun to dip into the ones you don't know and maybe be pleasantly surprised ... The last LP I bought at a charity shop was by Rose Royce - the one with 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' ... I'd be more than happy to have picked up the Bobbi Humphrey LPs, Captain Sky (for the cover), The Wild Angels soundtrack, the Byrds, Nils Lofgren, the Rufus LPs, Isaac Hayes, Harold Melvin and Weather Report.
Some very good records in this batch, Carl.. and more to be revealed with listening.. I need to get over and see your last one ( I saw the notification ). Cheers, JT
I like this haul, Dan.. There are at least 60-70 records in this batch that I like a lot ! That guy didn't deserve to have these soulful funky records He wanted a dollar a piece, and this was the only time I did not mind getting the price low.. with Bill, I like supporting him and his wife . See you on yours, Bro.
Cool, huh !! I am thoroughly enjoying these, and I am familiarizing myself with a number of these artists.. Many I already know. Thanks for watching ! Appreciated..✌️
I had to buy these records ! Lol !! It's about the only time I didn't mind talking someone down on price concerning a record haul.. He didn't like this kind of music.. What !! 🤣 Thanks, Gary.
Hi JT!!! that was an awesome vinyl haul..... 160 record added to the collection, that a new record. I'm not big into Soul, R&B or Funk but i recognize some big names in those boxes, btw you will be spending a lot of time listening to all of them and be needing some extra space or a bigger house!! cheers and be well
Good haul, Cristian.. Are people into this kind of music in Chile at all ? I like it, but then again.. I'm into a lot of different stuff, for sure ! I do have room gof even more records, although.. sooner or later, I should do a record pop-up ( sale ).. not just yet ! 😅 Thanks !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Hi JT!!! not that much i think. back in the 70's this type of music for what i have read wasn't played a lot here just by the end of the decade with the Disco fever got some airplay.... and the main thing most of the local radios (am) played music in spanish.....
@@cristianosorio2517 Interesting, thanks for this..I saw the VCLT you sent to Ireland, really nice gesture, and I will check out his channel, later. An update on both of my metal head nephews.. Rivers Of Nihil is starting a European tour in The Netherlands, and Toby joined his old band Psychosomatic for a US Tour as we speak. I'm proud of those boys, and like their music as well. Cheers, Cristian !
It is fun to see all those records! Many of the R&B records remind me of the roller skating rink. I ❤ Daryl Hall and John Oates. The Michael Jackson, Off The Wall was one of my favorites when I was 10 years old. It is more sentimental than Thriller for some reason. Seeing him at age 21 on the cover is how I like to remember him.
Yeah.. " Off The Wall is a great album ! There are at least 50 albums in this haul that I need to listen to.. I am having fun messing around with all of this happy, enjoyable music ! Thanks, Catherine 🤚
I don't know where to start. What a haul; one for the books. There are so many great titles in those boxes. I bought the reissue of Fancy Dancer; it's a great album. I just can't believe the condition of those records. Change is a great band. Brother Rick is from Buffalo!! Nice copy of Off The Wall. Willie Hutch is an underrated player. Incredible Hancock titles. That's one of the few essential Bob James albums you need to own. 80's R&B flashback is in full effect! That's possibly my favorite Hall and Oats album. Great score and I loved the backstory!!
How about Fattburger ! I didn't realize what they were until today ! ( jazz fusion ) I will give Willie Hutch a spin, and Change . Your right, the condition of 90% of these, is flawless. Mark ! I'm really enjoying these, and folks are recommending good titles to me. today !
Smooth Jazz is sadly underrated. I love the Bob James, Lee Ritenour, Fattburger acquisitions. As I get a bit older, I seem to be drawn to smooth instrumental tunes that enhance my meditative/introspective statesof mind. Thanks JT! I love your Channel and always look forward to catching your shares. Take care. Paul from Texas!
Paul, thank you so much. A comment like yours goes a long way on motivating me to keep doing this ! Glad you mentioned Fattburger, I didn't know this one and will spin it in a bit.. Larry Coryell, Rit Larry Carlton.. all those guys are great, Peter White, as well ! Those early Bob James records are amazing and Fourplay also ! Talk soon, and so appreciate this !
You must be living right JT! Love that album by The System. "Don't Disturb This Groove" has to be one of the grooviest R&B/Techno-Funk tracks of the 80's. I wore that cassette out in college! Me'Shell Ndegeocello also did a beautiful cover of it back in '18. Check it out too if you're musically curious.
Man ! Thanks for recommending this LP .. I wasn't sure about it.. will spin it ASAP ! Cool.. I knew the second I saw these records that they are a wealth of funk, soul, smooth jazz and R&B goodness ( with a little disco thrown in ) 🙏 Appreciate you looking in on this and helping !
Thank you ! Seriously, I am enjoying all of these. It's taking a good while to get through all of these.. Some artists that I only know of, and others that I do know and love. ✌️
Put on your dancin shoes JT! I have some of those. Rufus Chaka, RLaws. BJames JLorber EWF. That Pressure Sensitive is fantastic. Some good jems in the lot. Happy listening 🎶. Greg
I'll spin Pressure Sensitive right after I take Sean to school.. Nice ! 😆 Ronnie Laws has been very enjoyable, and I hadn't heard him in decades ! What a great batch of soulful funk! Even the jazz records are funky ! 👍
Wow, Wow, Wow. Probably $1000 worth of records. The great thing is you can preview a lot of records that you would otherwise pass up and find some real gems.
That's it, Richard ! These are fun records, and the ones that I eventually can let go of ( not easy to do ) I can do a record pop-up eventually.. Not yet, though. I am having too much fun building a great collection ! Thanks.
There are some good recirds in this haul.. the condition is the same as that 25 cents per record batch I picked up 2 months ago ! Weather Report, EWF, Chaka Jahn & Rufus, Brothers Johnson... Love this this funky jazz soul ! 😁 It's been good to get to know you, Jamie.. Have a good evening !
Great bunch of records. One of a real collectors favorite things to hear is "I've got a box of records that I want to get rid of", at least I love to hear that. Some great titles in there, nice Herbie Hancock and some great funk bands. MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother) is a fun funk/jazz band that had quite an influential hit (pre-disco) called "The Sound of Philadelphia". They actually weren't a family but were a collection of several session musicians. I remember loving that song back in the day and have had a few of their albums which I really enjoyed back then. You've got a lot of listening to do, for sure. Excellent score!
The Man Who gad these didnt like this music.. at all ! They are in a much better home now, Mike ! Haha. MFSB is going on Mr. Technics right after errands.. Talk soon. Thanks !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Well, they are in beautiful shape, even with a lot of the hype and shrink still intact, so it looks like he just kept them stored. I hope you enjoy the MFSB!
JT, that’s killer about going to overpriced thrift store lead to another fabulous collection. There is a lot of this soul /R&B that I don’t know. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
Yeah, Steve.. There is about half of this 160 that I am unfamiliar with, although the pieces are falling together once I listen. I used to watch Soul Train back in the day, and TV featured a lot of these artists and, of course.. radio. Thanks for looking in. and I will see you on yours !
Hey Jt, that Goodman comp is great. I got mine for a buck or two. What a fantastic collection and oh so minty. Lots of artists I’m not familiar with. Simply amazing my friend. Must have been a great price if it was a case of a seller saying it’s all or nothing. Cheers.
He would have let me cherry pick for a dollar each.. but they are all NM to Mint in the shrink with hypes stickers galore, so I got him down to 60 cents per record ! Seriously, I like at least 75 of these, Jack and more to discover, for sure ! I grew up around much of this music and used to love watching Soul Train ! Whoo hoo !!😅
@vinylmartini3377 Yes ! I put out good vibes when I go out there in the real wild ! I was shocked by the very high prices of that on particular thrift store, and then.. the magic happened ! Wow!!! 😄
I'm very stoked on Fattburger ! I'm thrifting as we speak, and I'm gonna get home and spin that bad boy.. It's in perfect condish.. right down to the shrink and the hype sticker ! Whoo hoo🤣
It's scores like that which make all the fruitless searches worthwhile. Must admit very little in my wheelhouse there and I only knew a few of the artists or albums. Very impressed with your knowledge and they will clearly give you joy JT. They looked to be in great shape too. Enjoy! cheers Dale
Right, Dale.. All American R&B Soul jazz disco stuff ! Amy Winehouse would have loved these 3 boxes of records ! Haha😊 I get bored only listening to my go-to genres. It's fun to bounce around a bit, and.. These sound amazing sonically !
Thank you ! My big thing is networking ! More and more, I'm meeting folks who have records, and wherever I go now, store workers ( thrift ) know me and will sometimes let me know if there are records in the back ! I buy from Discogs, E Bay.. and my brick and mortar.. but I am getting killer deals like the one you just saw ! Appreciated. 😄
@ls757677 Discogs does have some excellent sellers that actually under grade to our benefit.. I should save them for future buying. ( I can always look up my history ). My favorite is to score good clean records out in the " real wild" as I like to call it.. thrifting. 2nd Hand and garages, much like the year-long dig that I am presently on ! ( Bill's Garage ).
I know Kashif now ! What a resume.. This wasn't ever my main thing ( genre ).. But, in the last 5 years I have so many great R&B Soul Funk records that I'm loving expanding what I am already into ! Thanks so much, I love these records..😄
Picking and digging for records can really pay off ! This was a haul that half of the artists were either new to me or I am revisiting .. after many years.. Thanks for checking this one out.
Hi JT. That’s some score! There’s a lot of enjoyment in those boxes. The Bobbie Humphrey albums, the William De Vaughan, and the Patrice Rushen records would be first on the deck for me. Cheers!
Thanks for that, and I will pull those out and put them next to Mr. Technics in the living room. I was very curious about Patrice Rushen and William De Vaughan.. you helped me find out ! See you on your channel.. Appreciated😁
Interesting picks! I bet that Jacksons record is fun! I can vouch for the Double Exposure LP. Great stuff. You could obviously make some serious dough off that box. Congrats. Helluva find, JT!😁
Thanks so much ! Funny part is I don't sell, right now ! I will give Double Exposure a spin in the morning, and I haven't seen that Jackson's LP for decades ! I will soak these titles up and, next year, possibly list some.. Flawless, BTW !!! 😄
So cool ! Thanks for that.. Good to know. I can't wait to get home and spin those two records ! I know a number of these artists, but then again, several I don't know about.
Yeah.. I noticed that ! I want to listen. I know that record from years ago, and I have a copy that isn't nearly as nice as this one. Some outstanding vocalists in this batch !
Yeah.. There are some good ones in this haul that you would like. You guys played great last night up in Minnesota ! Thanks, Gary.. Guess what I'm doing ? Haha😆 Thrifting !!!
Amazing haul. I think that is the best Hall & Oates. Great Earth, Wind & Fire pickups. The Main Ingredient had the hit "Everybody Plays The Fool" and MFSB had the hit TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia). I picked up a Bobbi Humphrey a while back. You've got a lot of listening on the horizon.
I do have a lot of good listening to do ! It's been fun, and I love these records ! I didn't know MFSB ( Mother Father Sister Brother ) until you and another viewer told me.. I vaguely remember now from Soul Train and TV back in the day. Glad you know Bobbi Humphrey, fortunately .. I have 5 LP's by her now, 3 from this haul !
Thanks Randy.. You probably have or have had a trip planned in the fall.. I love traveling nowadays ! Your Chiefs moved to the #1 prospect to win the Super Bowl ! We ( SF Giants ) are getting Bob Melvin from The Padres to manage us .. Should be good !
Great purchases. I personally this summer bought 300 or so R&B for a C Note. Most of it was in great shape Never turn down good deals. Made an offer for some records the other day, got turned down. Just couldn’t Justify buying all for more and she wouldn’t break out what I just wanted. Oh well.
I get it ! With this batch of 160, I talked the guy down to 100 dollars.. The condition is some of the best ever , except the ones I bought for 25 cents per record. 300 LP's for 100.. is as good as it will ever get except for free, right? Greg ! And agreed. never turn down a good deal, ever ! Thanks again !
Man.. I love Deodato too ! I'll never forget when I first heard " Also Sprach Zarathustra" the players on his records are some of the very best in the biz ! I will look at Felt Forum NYC.. I don't have that one, and I might as well spin some.. Deodato later on. Thanks !
Yeah.. I somewhat grew up around soul and funk music, and quite a bit of jazz as well, fusion as well. Variety is the spice of life I guess for some folks. I am definitely one of those.. Thanks for looking in on this one, Brian !
..yes you’ve Definitely been busy!! I don’t know where to begin with this lot, but there’s about 20 albums I’d love to sit down & listen to straight away. Bob James ‘One’ is his best, the track ‘Nautilus’ is one of the most sampled tracks ever , after James Brown’s ‘Funky Drummer’ & The Winstons ‘Amen Brother’ I never ‘Nautilus’ over here.
Pretty good haul, huh Harris ! I'm loving these records and many titles that are very good , and that I am not familiar with ! Agreed, Bob James I is excellent !
Hey Robbie. Man ! I'm having fun with this music ! TP with Harold Melvin as well, lots of good funky soulful tunes in this haul.. I don't even know what my favorites are yet ! Soul Train ! Whoo hoo !!! 🤣
Thanks for mentioning this record.. I'm pulling it right now and listening , again ! Cool.. These records are really terrific, I got lucky ! Appreciated
MFSB was the house and orchestration for Philadelphia International records in the 70's. It's an acronym that stands for Mother Father Sister Brother or at least that's the clean version of it. The dirty version also begins with mother. I went to Salvation army and found a similar cache and there wasn't a spot on any of it. Kashif wrote for Whitney, Melba, and Evelyn.
Thanks for the info on Kashif.. I didn't know he wrote for these 3 stars ! MSFB.. I realized soon after scoring these 160 records what and who they are. This is a genre that I have been away from for decades.. I love this music, and am having a party with all of it. Patrice Rushen has been awesome, and Angie ! Also Collage " Get In Touch". Too many good titles/ Artists to name right now.. Appreciated 😄
You have such a broad range of musical taste JT. You know much more about a lot of these groups then I ever will. Do you trade in your doubles or do you keep both copies?
I don't like trading anymore.. my brick and mortar isn't such a good deal. At some point, I will sell, probably in a years time. I have room to store, I use bags unlimited archival boxes for Cd's, cassettes, and my records. So far, I am keeping doubles and a few triples.. I have gifted a number of records around the VC as well.
Is early Hall & Oates really considered "Funk/Soul"? I always considered their 80s stuff "Pop/Rock," but I have a couple of older albums of theirs on vinyl such as BIGGER THAN THE BOTH OF US, and I always kept it in "Oldies/Easy Listening."
That was such a diverse haul. It's just a title to feature many of the LP's that are Soul / Funk. I agree that early Hall & Oates is pop songwriting. I think I paid 60 cents a piece on this haul.. 90 % of them are NM at least, and I have spun almost all of them since I brought these home. Thanks for watching this one..
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Thanks for getting back to me. So if I have some early H&O like Bigger Than the Both of Us, what section would you keep it in? I just don't think it belongs in "Pop/Rock/80s," but I'm not sure it goes in "Oldies/Easy Listening."
Because of both of their Philly sound roots.. Daryl and John are Soul R&B. Blue Eyed soul to be specific. Sure it's pop, but clearly Soul R&B. See what Wiki says about their genre, its always interesting. Thanks, nice chatting with you !
nice Bobby Humphrey, Hall and Oates, George Clinton pop goes the captain , Rick James Stone city band that's a good price 60 cents each for 160 records at 100.00 bucks if the records in your eyes are 3.5 stars or better that's a good deal Rose Royce is that the album that has car wash on it? nice Donna Summer nice Saturday Night Fever I like the R rated version better, I have that record on vinyl , the 2nd Commodres album that you flipped by I have that album it's my brothers old record, questions 1. do you think for today's time cassette tapes being sold at the Mall for anywhere from 13.99 to 19.99 is expensive tapes like Dirty dancin no big groups from the 80's I think there trying to sell a rap tape these look like newer albums other than Dirty Dancin in todays money do you think that's expensive? 2. Tavarse is that the same album that has heaven missing angel? 3. is that the same Lionel Ritchie that has his hits from MTV or a different album? 4. I forgot one question for the week watching anybody's videos have you seen anybody showing a favorite album feel free to list as many as you want? my answer in Roberts whats on my turn table's contest I saw jacob holiding Def Leppard Pyromania can't think of the other one.
Yes, that is the Tavares song. That Lionel Richie debut had a few hits, Truly is one of them. I think you mean cassettes sold nowadays in stores. .Yes, 14 to 20 dollars is too expensive when they can be found in thrift shops for 1.00 or less.. Even though it is older music. Lots of good ones out there second hand. Thanks, Mark !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 The name of the store is Newburry Comics they sell cassettes un opened sealed for 13.99 up to 19.99 you look at the cost of everything, everything is going up what a 100.00 dollars was say 5 to 10 years ago isn't the same yeah I think for those albums on cassettes it's expensive. considering theres a Barnes and Nobles in that same mall which sells cd's for about 11.99 and there are alot more cd players around than cassette players yeah I think for non classic 80's albums newer music other than Dirt dancin it's expensive. if it's a tape of say Ac/dc For those about to rock 14.99 and somebody has that album on vinyl, cd and they want all formats that's different. yeah that stores expensive but it's in a mall with things to do.
Honestly.. I did not ! Very glad you brought them to my attention, because.. I will listen and by your reaction, I'm sure it's outstanding music.. That's why I am excited to have all of these beautiful Soul R&B records.. Thanks ! ✌
I'm listening to Angela Bofill.. Amazing, and I remember her now ! Patrice Rushen is simply terrific, and I have been streaming and spinning the two albums I have by her.. I lover her voice and arrangements on my records ! This was an an awesome haul, and I knew it the minute I thumbed through all of the 160 LP's.. not a dog in the batch ! Thanks, Lancey..🙂@@LanceyKersti
Alright.. I get it, and I am pleased to have these great records ! A lot of them I hadn't heard since back in the day ! I have listened to most everything since I brought home this amazing score. Thank you🫡
