Top 20 Most Wanted Albums By Record Collectors! Iconic & Essential Vinyl Records to Any Collection 

I have at least 1/2 of those. I wonder if they're worth anything.

@@jamespppyacek342 I have an idea google Noble Records and see if the prices are there. For real I didn't try it yet your comment gave me the idea.

Nice video. Here is me from 8 years ago. Note at :53. They always want the same stuff. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IfqrAgA4L2M.html

Nice one.

Hi this is library in and I got two details and they sent my post halfway through a thank you so much for the list I wanted to start today off with a different COPD and I have been trained out of my old collections that does not exist anymore.... not only did I lose everything I had in my past.... I really love every scrap of paper because everything is finally went up in smoke in a house fire I am very well situated in a new nice apartment it's been 2 years this week again here I have a terrific subsidy for people who they call elderly I ended the very beginnings of elderly and I do have a disability scoliosis of the spine but I still walk around and music is this is a heartbeat of my life so I we all have something in common. if there are any glaring typos or the pronoun your comes up instead of my I don't know why this talk-to-text always changes in pronoun My, as in: Me myself and I to you and hour's.... anyway I really needed a different album to listen to and I decided to put on control by Janet Jackson yesterday it was like F me running! This was a great choice! I thought of putting on Simply Red novels I haven't heard that I played it to death in the summer of 87.... but I wanted to get some ideas from your list. I realized that I'd ever heard the album Thriller all from from from the bed I used to babysit for a lady with beautiful cubby colors can an expresso with three little boys and she was right below Reedus is 3 floor apartment so this is a great way for me to start making money under the table but I remember seeing the Thriller album on top of a record player. I wanted to get to the idea from your list for me to play today and I'm getting really frustrated with his talk-to-text is not writing down what I am dictating to it. So I was.noted to tiychbuoon the raised eyebrow surprise album Mules Davus'1859 album...One might think Ray Charles considering Hus prolific careercthst crissedvinti popular American culture and was a mighthy Billboard cinwuirer ocriss genres as well. Alad! Hus BB hits appeared on the charts about 3 years years after Miles Davis' '59 tour Dr force I was thinking if playing Simply Red as i it held the No. 1 spot in My home Barv's Boards Charts for the entire summer if 1987. I played my records on my home, hand designed, and bought stereo system: a (gently used) Harmon Kardon turntable; a Pioneer receiver and Boston Acoustic speakers. And I was in waitress' income.

😂 mine had plenty of skips,but I listen anyway..

That is TOO funny!! 😂😂😂

I played my favorite albums when i was having too much "fun" to remember to be careful with them. 😉 but, i sure get it! i NEED "waitin for the bus" to move into "jesus just left chicago", or it just aint correct.😂 always irked me when the radio would split those songs.✌🎶

Yes!!!! I have done the same thing!!! LOL

You may have, nevertheless, a desirable, first pressing. As he mentions in his video. I had this, & also returned it. But, it had better sound, much more 'punch,' than the reissue with greatly reduced volume. Typical 'pop music' pressings, have a more limited signal to noise ratio. The 'Audiophile,' virgin vinyl, usually more expensive pressings, are quieter, are likely to have more accurate, detailed sound, which is why some people pay more for these, sometimes significantly more! Two solutions: I've had two or three 'radial tracking' tonearms, usually built into the turntable, where the arm / cartridge tracks straight across the disc, creating no skating effect. Minimizing / eliminating skipping. I also purchase Shure cartridges; the V - 15 series advertised 'high trackability,' and many LP's & singles are (also) mastered at high volume. I also had a Thorens turntable, with a SME tonearm, accurate anti - skating. (All pivoting tone arms have some skating effect, caused by several factors, incl. volume. High quality tone arms, which can, at times, be VERY expensive - if you have $, they will take it! - provide better results.) Once you play a record, & it skips, especially in the same place, it's difficult, though not impossible, to correct. When a record is 'cut,' mastered at loud volume, and the grooves are too close together, the sounds of the adjacent modulations can 'impinge' and cause an echo (similar to what's heard on, "Whole Lotta Love.") between the tracks next to each other. And, of course, may also contribute to skipping!

Never to be repeated

well said, unlimited groups and individuals that never get old, an era of music that i was priveliged to be young then,, im glad to see younger people reach back to that era....im 69 and still love hendrix, black sabbath, ten years after, etc.,etc.,etc.,........

@@robertlavorna2968 Same here

amen brother, i have been saying that for a number of years, I am 68 years young and still rockin

Does your granny always tell ya That the old songs are the best Then she's up and rock and rollin' with the rest.

@Ted Smith. Yo pops good to hear you’re still alive n kicking 👍😎

I thought wow he's old to be into Zeppelin then realised you were young when it came out. How dumb of me! Especially since I'm the same, I'm old but still buy old punk records, singles mainl (not that you care🤣). The 45 rpm 7 inch single is one of the 20th centuries best inventions for many reasons.

I have two copies, one of my faves.

Same here except 1962

I'm a young person and I love that album and was very happy to finally find a nice copy to get this past year.

Never heard of it.

@@TheBuccy 'Tis O K - you're too young!

The Bonzo Dog Band walked into Abbey Road in 1966 to record their first single and met the Beatles recording 'I Want To Tell You' for Revolver.

You can hear some of Sgt. Pepper's Heart Club Band very faintly in the background during the heartbeat at the end of dark side of the moon

I think you mean, Pink Floyd met them.

I love the vinyl, but hearing the 24bit on my friends McIntosh is other worldly. It's one of things, you don't get, until you do.

Analogue is the best as it is wide band.Newer is not always better as cd was compressed down to 20>20khz, ''The dark notes'' the ones you cannot hear are the ones that give that emotional 3d sound quality, the feeling of ''BEING THERE'', Enjoy everybody

@Peter Little, Have you listened to 24bit on a McIntosh? I had to update this: For those of you not familiar with "24 bit" the remastering process starts with remastering analog recordings, and then converted to digital. Worlds better than the crap we were given when cd's first hit the scene. There are even higher bit rates now. I don't know if it's better than an immaculate peice of vinyl on a state of the art sound system, but it's fμ©|

@Cat Magic I feel for you and know exactly what you mean, kids etc and life gets in the way but that is life. But many eventually get their systems out of mothballs when the kids leave. I used to be an Audio dealer and have tried many combinations and some of the best ones were Not the most expensive but were the least well known brands from far flung places. Enjoy the music

@@peterlittle9413 Well spoken. I have listened to lots of high tech systems. Macintosh, Phase Linear etc. You are right on about having the ear. I have slowly been trying to replace most of my old LPs which have disappeared along the way and that can also come at high cost. I recently acquired a 1969 Sansui 4000, receiver, tuner. That was the first year Japan tryed jumping into the high end, if you will. I got this for nothing and was still working but still had it cleaned. I would put it up there right now with most of any new, say like a 4 or 5 grand amp. Sometimes, bigger or well known equipment doesn't do anymore to get that little extra magical note that will never be heard on an mp3..4 CD, or whatever. I just wish every music lover could be sitting in a very small venue listening to "That's The Way..

I fully agree girl,. It seems only yesterday

It was my first record of my own. We are lucky to have been born when we were. :)

So true ☺🇬🇧

I remember buying Deep Purple- In Rock when it was released and being shouted at to turn it down- so I bought myself some Sennheiser headphones- fabulous “ Sweet child in time” - I was hooked for ever!!!

How an I sell JFK album his speak when he became President

Awesome story!

Sooo tooo kool..

That is so awesome, thanks for sharing.

I have my dads collection I am 55 now his collection has everything from Bill Haley and the Comets to Tennessee Ernie Ford

What a lovely story ❤️thank you for sharing it.

S.S. Kresge started in 1899. Later it became Kmart. I go often to the worlds biggest Kmart. It's open 24/7 and busy about 90% of the time. We don't have Walmart, Target or any other department store. We do have Macy's and Home Depot. There is a big building under construction, but no one knows for sure what it is. They are keeping it a secret for some reason. Someone working on the construction told my friend that it was going to be Walmart. However others told me it was going to be a Japanese mall.

@@Amen.22 I live near the first Kmart located in Garden City Michigan. When that store opened, every customer walking in received a gold lettered drinking glass that commemorated the opening of the first Kmart. I have a couple of those glasses. When Kmart started closing the stores a few year's back - that first Kmart not only closed, but the building was torn down. Another Kmart that I'm familiar with is located in Menominee Michigan. It was the 2nd most profitable store in the country at the time of it's closure a few years ago. You're lucky that you have a Kmart still in existence, although I thought all of them are gone. I also live within a half hour of the Kmart Headquarters building complex in Troy Michigan. It's a huge prime location in the heart of other well known buildings of other large store headquarters. It's been empty for over a decade. Don't know why, it's prime real estate. Where is your Kmart located? I have a couple of Kmart hand shopping baskets, and a full size shopping cart I use in my laundry room to hold dirty clothes as a hamper near the washing machine. I really miss Kmart, and DON'T shop at a nearby Wallfart. I can't stand Wallfart and how the corporation treats it's employees. I know people need a job to work and pay the bills and buy food for themselves and their family, but if I had to choose where to get a job, I would rather work at the local car wash wiping down the vehicles of water drops, than work at Walfart.

@@riiianponciatti8707 - Well done, I have them both, plus British Seel, Killing machine,Sin after Sin and a live album. Tubular Bells was a very big seller plus Mike Oldfield made a 2nd Bells album later. I also have Crises and Five Miles out. Which I really liked. Have you listened to any Deep Purple? - like - In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head, they were great albums. For around 40 years the music was just endless. I still buy stuff ( especially vinyl) I absolutely love Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson is a master writer and musician.

@@riiianponciatti8707 In Rock . It's got Mount Rushmore on the front cover.

That's awesome. I work at the fillmore. And will again if we are allowed to have concerts again.

Great album!

@@4Dye The Fillmore where?

@@eurostarnamastar3128 San Francisco

Tremendously envious but happy for you!

I spent my 19th birthday listening to Dark Side of the Moon in quadraphonic headphones and watching the animated "Charlottes web" , I'm 62 now and although The Wall has since become my favorite PF album I still remember that incredible 'stoned out night' so long ago in my dorm room!!

@Robert Helix That's amazing!! you have been sheltered too long my friend..."Welcome to the Machine"!

@Robert Helix cool story bro....

have the 73 album

@@michaellange6598....from Yasgur's farm, Michael Lange??

That and Revolver.

Good man, same here. It's there only lp that hasn't got a track I don't like on it.

Cute! Love seeing this graphic in lots of places and still going strong.

I had a pink pink floyd shirt that just had the symbol on it. My late husband and I were out walking and there's a bridge over a culvert that the teenagers like to hang out and smoke pot. They saw us coming and started to hide their shit until I heard one of them say, " dude, it's cool. She's wearing a pink floyd shirt." They weren't wrong.

I was lucky enough to see and listen to the Chamber Brothers do "Time" in concert for what seemed like 45 minutes. This concert was in Philadelphia in I think 1968 or 1969. T Rex, Pearl, and Vanilla Fugde.

Loved ... reading your story about you, your dad and Pink Floyd. I just had a 70's moment. Thank you. 😎💫✨🌠🌌🪐🧭

@@susant700 Thank you! I keep remembering all the great times with my dad. He passed from lung cancer in 2014. And these memories stay with me.😁

Time is my fav, maybe the only pink Floyd song I like .I do have this LP, bought it when I was a teen in the 90s. If it wasn't for that song, would have sold it. Might still. I'm over vinyl, have around 700 cds. Music is great for nostalgia and many other things sorry to hear about your dad. My dad died when I was 6, and without music....who knows.

Hello how are you doing?

Couldn’t agree more the last few lines sum up the essence of the entire album

For SURE!!

CANNOT find ANY Floyd when picking at consignment shops or yard sales.

@@SmartDave60 I wonder why

I prefer wish you were here. ✌

That's awesome. Did he have Traffic Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys?

@@4Dye Hi! I know the band and the track you mean because i remember him playing it at home along side his boston and bad company albums which i noticed amongst all the vinyls...I packed one lot and my brother was helping packing the rest of them all so I only saw my half lol.... BUT i am going to get the whole lot out in the coming weeks and take photos of them all etc...and write a long list of every single vinyl thats there and theres a lot.... (and i will come back on here and let you know) have a lovely evening

@@4Dye lucky you! That’s awesome

You have an enviable collection. Your dad had great taste and left you quite a legacy! Very happy for you in having such a brilliant collection!

@@emmalancaster2896 Your right yes I am very very lucky....just the memory side of it alone is so precious....i can still recall being so small only just tall enough to see these vinyls going round on the turn tables as my dad used to play them all at home preparing his DJ set for the next night...and to now reminiscing... looking at them all lifeless but so precious in stacks of boxes in my loft... boxes full of 70s and 80s musical memories ...thanks for comment Emma x

Kinda neat how that’s happening again with country music

@@nicholaspietrzak9992 - this is good news. Thank you. Hank and I were born on the same date and he died the week I was conceived.

and Rollingstone gave it bad reviews and they also gave all their albums bad reviews. and people were shocked by RS their top 200 recent singers lists. its what they do. do shitty reviews. here is a good question. ask anyone what is your favorite Zep album. everyone has a different answer. well the Beatles are like that too but many more agree With certain albums where as for Zeppelin its different answers. for me its Physical Graffiti.

@@stocksgoupward5922 - for me it's Houses of the Holy minus two songs. Also their first album.

🤣🤣🤣

Yay Thank you and I lived in Birmingham ( mildands ) where most of these bands originated from , I was so close to Ozzy I could of shook his hand lol ☺ 🇬🇧

You can't beat The States for the blues though. Stevie Ray Texas boy.

Yes sir you’ve got that right

I adore this story... Love is everlasting... Even the love of Tiny Tim albums... (probably) Lol 😂

"vinyl sure seems to sound better than digital" *Digital is more detailed but less dynamic. Vinyl is very dynamic because they have to be careful about over-limiting and pushing levels so listening to a vinyl record is a lot closer to the dynamics you'd hear in masters in the 60s, 70s, early-early 80s. It seems like people prefer the sense of dynamics over detail. I also think people like the idea of listening to records as an experience not another btw scroll-through playlist that doesn't require any commitment. Maybe thats it. Maybe this whole vinyl thing is about people having an internal desire to return to the idea of commitment. A vinyl record represents several levels of excellence and commitment to art. Mp3s and WAV files represent all that work being funneled through an audio toilet. Vinyl is about more than listening, I think anyway.*

@@thetruthchannel349 You got that right. I liken it to: digital is disposable, vinyl is tangible.

I’m surprised that was not on the list

Logical choice, would have been my first also. Maybe Rio Grande Mud by ZZ 2nd.

I LOVED Robin Trower….I was the oddball in our group that had different taste in music..I was into Greg Allman, Robin Trower, Uriah Heep….etc…

@@tjodogify I still listen to all you mention. I’ve seen Trower 16 times and hope to again.

I was going to say Bridge of Sighs. Iconic. Also, Rare Earth: One World.

James, I'm 69 yo. I have a number, not all of original Beatles albums. I just stumbled on this RU-vid channel. It was nice trip down memory lane. One regret was that although I enjoyed Pink Floyd, I never purchased their albums. Shame on me !!!. No Doors either. Too overplayed , but thats me. No Nirvana. No Miles Davis ( though I saw him with Laura Nero at the Fillmore East in early 70s bc my girl friend , now my wife of 46 years loves Nero......uuuhgggghhhh ).I have Paranoid,, Abbey Road, LZ II, III, IV, The White Album , Rumors , Sgt Peppers, Thriller . Although this is a subjective list of most Desired LPs , there certainly many others thst evoke endless debates. But thats whst makes it fun for Our Music. You will NOT the recent Crap on these lists. Among the many surprises is the lack of The Who on this top 20 list ??

I only had g.h. 67 - 70. When CD's were new, Beatles fans freaked b/c The songs were juggled around , not on the proper album? That's messed up!

Thriller had 2 guitarists! The guy from Toto did all the rhythm guitar, EVH did the solo. Done via Snail-Mail. Guitarists never met! Wha? Yep, the master tapes were sent through the u s mail.

I’m your age. I saw the Beatles in 1965 at the Hollywood Bowl. I still remember their incredible charisma!

I'm 62 and I have all the pink floyd and zeppelin covered!

I love the Eagles... Hotel California

Pink Floyd!! The Greatest Show `On Earth!!

Except Miles Davis, not so hummable

@@RogueReplicant I did give it a go but probably not my best performance.

I play air guitar

That must be some kinda record... 😎

How about you hum, all those songs in my ear!!

Got that shit right. I have 246 different Hendrix albums

Jimi Hendrix played guitar with the Isley Brother’s, before forming The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

yes I tried for year to tell friends this was the business and they didn't even get Pink Floyd until they sold out to commercialism.

he's got 3 'popular' Pink Floyd albums, but the most rare/ influential/ collectible is: Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, with Syd Barrett

Oh yeh! Picts grooving in a cave...? Far out! 🤪

of course -the first album I did drugs to -along with Piper -Didnt need to with Dark Side -IT WAS THE DRUGS and still is 48 years later

It was my second of album. I got it for $3 at Caldor when most single LP's we're almost $5.

I was 13 in 1967 in san Francisco summer of love, I'm still here, two blocks from golden gate park, and got two 1967 cars thanks

There's a wonderful version of Faron Young doing Sweet Dreams from 1956 on Ernest Tubbs show. He had an amazing voice.

It's Brubecks album TIME OUT which is fantastic with Take Five and Blue Rhondo aka TURK on it.

Those were my exact two first jazz albums!

A fantastic third jazz album for that list would be SUNNY SIDE OF THE STRIP by the late great George Shearing Quintet. Jordu and Confirmation are two of my favorites on that album.

and try String Cheese Incident “take five” (Carnival ‘99 album) and most anything by Medeski Martin & Wood

Awesome jazz albums. Also lee Morgan sidewinder is amazing, what about the two very different but killer war of the worlds from 1938/and 1970’s remix? Don’t forget Elvis Otis Redding and Sam Cooke

They were both great! I was in love with Ed Ames when I was 11. He was Mingo on Daniel Boone 😚 Mills Brothers, yeah!
