INDIVIDUALITY: Val Shively, owner of R&B Records
What is it like to own a warehouse with over four million records for sale? For a music fan, it’s a dream come true. For Val Shively, it’s just another day with his “babies.” But don’t expect to browse the never-ending two-story vertical rows of musical gold: “Do Not Enter (unless you know what you want).” Val has always been unconventional, and that’s what kept his store going for 60+ years. As Val says, “Being different is very, very good.”

If I knew what I wanted it would be boring as hell, finding something you didn't know you wanted is what collecting is all about to me. To each is own.

@MostlyBuicks Год назад

I would never stack records I "loved" flat on top of each other. Condition is EVERYTHING.

@mobrosrealestategroup7009 2 года назад

Me and my sons went there today! Val was so awesome my son is 16, and Val allowed him to walk the store.. he loves records and will remember this day for the rest of his life.

@verndebes7369 3 года назад

Been a long time since I’ve seen your name. I use to buy from you when I lived in Phoenix and was working on my first collection. Lost that one to the hospital bills. I’m 75 and starting over again this time without singles. I loved your spot.

@Rafael.Bernardino. 3 года назад

Hope he's well... I went there once but didnt have time to dig... I just went in and stood in the doorway... he was like, "What do you want?"... I said, "I just want to be able to say that I've been here", he was like, "oh..." The look on his face was that of a record person recognizing another record person.

@samiam7342 Год назад

that is a beautiful thing....he did not let technology and the world command him on how to live his life...........that is true living!

Terrific video. Val is genuine and humble. I can relate to him about self esteem. He always treated me with respect. He is a very good man.

Use to buy records from Val at his first store in Wynnfield ( I believe)

@timmacatee3991 Год назад

I still have a memory of going to 69th street and seeing the Woodstock album in a window of a record shop. I'm pretty sure this was the place.

@ilovemfsb 3 года назад

Thank you Val!! My record collection would completely suck without you and Chuck!!

@mymixture965 2 года назад

There is a lot of truth in this, do what you love and you will become good at it, the money will follow. They make you think the other way round.

@pboukalis 4 года назад

There will never be another, he's the best and only of his kind. When he goes, it's over! Love ya Val John B.

Somebody's gotta take the 45's.....god bless em. I wonder if he's still got that wall of Jazz albums thou???

@mark-c802 Год назад

great albums are a collection of 45's...45's (maybe some 78's) built the AM airwaves dynasty and cultural oasis in the 50's and 60's - the greatest era of modern teenage music, before it fell off the cliff of self-indulgence and parody...bless you Val, you're a true inspiration...🌈

I wish we had some videos of the old Val, pre finding religion and all that.

@PamK36 3 года назад

Place looks like a fire trap -yikes! Also I thought you weren't supposed to stack records flat? Saw some piles in there.

@ronmartin4212 2 года назад

When you're in business dealing hard core rare 45's and LP's for close to 60 years,then you can comment.Right,Val????

@SCORPION89199 2 года назад

@@ronmartin4212 that's all well and good but if stuff has been piled flat for decades it'll be too warped to play.

@carlosalas8048 2 года назад

A person who truly cares about their records wouldn’t keep them that way.

I'm gonna go in there and stick a record down in the front of my pants...

@Digginbehindthedikes 2 года назад

This looks like something that spiraled completely out of control. Not sure if I would call this passion or anything like that. No offense.

@TheMindIlluminated Год назад

Nah this is a hoard. Those records are treated like shit, shop is a mess, cat pisses on whatever is on the floor. Dude says he hates albums. Wtf.
