Any Rolling Stones, always scratched, they must have used them as a just married sign behind cars!

Jimi Hendrix: Band of Gypsies. That one always shows wear

Subscribed bro, good info here

Yes tastes change as we get older. And when you get old like me suddenly you dive deep into shoegaze so just beware. Wide Open sounded very interesting. Nice that you put the single with the album, very cool idea First two Molly Hatchet albums were gold to me in college and I liked the art work. Great job with the tag

Seems very common for Donovan and vanilla fudge records

I didn’t realize Leafhound sells gor so much.

Check some of those Aussie year Bee Gees tunes out. Tint Of Blue('66),All Of My Life('66)How Love Was True('65).some other good ones that are more rock oriented.

You know what Australian records I want to get,that are extremely difficult::I had a few original Beatles Aussies.The Bee Gees,I had a '65 EP and a '66 EP and 45.The '65 Sing And Play lp is huge!!Id love to get it

Kitty bomb!!!!!!!!!Meoooooooww

nice tag.. Thx for the shoutout! Dirty Deeds was my first rock album growing up as a kid.. my mother took me to tower records to buy it and questioned the clerk about the song big balls :) You have the WLP.. wow.. going straight to my want list. I need a Rodriguez.

Mine is pristine...1 dollar a few years ago in a now defunct antique shop. Somebody said to me once that song sucks...I was about to argue with him... then I thought ...it kinda does. Only played side 1 once. Not bad.

I started buying Library Sountrack records around 1997. I've owned thousands over the years, because for the longest time, buying them was the only way to listen to them, unless the record shops let you play them. Up until 2006-2007, most of the very expensive ones of today you could get for 35-80 euro. Very rarely was something 150-200. You quickly learned what to avoid, which labels had lots of trash, but when Jphnny Trunk's book came out, things started to get real crazy. On the really rare stuff, count yourself lucky when you pay less than 300. KPM has hundreds of releases, and maybe 20-25 really worth having, depending on your taste, I only kept around 350, but I'm still after a good handfull ones, almost all italian. Traditionally, Italians have the most amount of great stuff, then France, then the UK and Germany. I might do a video about the topic if I find time. It's fun to see an new generation discovering and embracing, though. cheers

Any black sabbath, any led zeppelin. All the stoner loosers played them to death back in the day. They look like they were dragged across the concrete on both sides.

When I started collecting I was disappointed in the quality of the vinyls i was buying. Some good some not so good. Sure they were 2nd hand pennies on the dollar but i wanted my collection to be something i can enjoy and show off to family and friends. I stopped buying bulk quantity and concentrated in building my collection around quality. Every vinyl record in my collection stand is playable and enjoyable. The ones that were beat up half a crate passed down to a niece who is starting her own collection up.

Incredible finds,definitely.If you call Craig's store,Younger Than Yesterday,he can get some crazy stuff.The albums h would have at our Allentown shows were amazing!!Check him out

Interesting ... I was a Garbage Man for about 10 Years picking up Household Garbage in Cans in the 1980's people were throwing their records in the trash , Most times it would be a small stack on the lid , sometimes they were mixed in the can . I got a pretty good collection of mostly 70's and 80's stuff from the Garbage . I found Many of the ones you show here . From My experience there were 2 KINGS of the Garbage , KISS - Always totally Thrashed and Neil Diamond - Mint played once . Never ant Beatles or Elvis in the Trash .

Remember 🎗 Every Scratch is a Memory 👀 🧠 ... 🎸🎤🥁🎸

Nope. My Iron Butterfly has been with me since the week it came out. The cover has a little wear, but the record is pristine. It's been through high school, college, three apartments and two houses. It's a survivor!

I have certainly seen all those records in trashed mode. I have never seen an original copy of July like you have behind you. Supposedly there's a Canada pressing.

@18:35 Canada Kinney Pressing is superb. It's Warner / Kinney - then when it went to just Warner the sound got thinner and so did the pressing / groove quality.

@8:00 - Polydor Canada released albums with 'textured' paper covers that are unique and cool - they did it with Disraeli Gears , it's hard to find as the special paper is slightly more fragile than a normal slick , and it's a little more dull and when gets dirty it looks worse . I think it might be a regional difference in pressing as I have another Canada first press and it has a smooth brighter paper cover stock - The polydor pressings were heavyweight and usually sounded pretty good. Very wide stereo separation on the Canada press - Bakers drums are pushed a bit too far back for my taste but it still sounds amazing.

Some whites bought lite jazz like Duke Ellington records in my area, and sometimes they would buy some Miles Davis for some reason - finding a clean copy of early Columbia Miles in an old Record stereo all in one unit between those Ellington and Como records is very excitimg. I like the Ellington records as well.

Yes Cosmo's can be hard to find as the jacket usually is in horrible shape - I was super stoked to find an excellent Canada 1st press last year both cover and vinyl very nice.

It's Vanilla Fudge records I see that are trashed.

I never see ACDC 'back in black' in my area - the only copy I know if is the one I found in 1987 .

Boston's first album for sure...every single time

You want a real challenge? Try finding any old James Brown albums on King that aren’t completely terrible in condition. Or any Blues albums from the 50’s. Not just Rock.

Take a drink and stop clearing throat. Neat video but had to stop watching.

A producer from Atlantic brought it home, put it on a kids record player and it skipped. That sounds ridiculous. They usually play the final cut back in the studio.

Do something about that cough!

Even in the 90s, when people gave me loads of records free, never got a clean Kiss record. Metal was hard to find even in those days, i lucked out on a couple Metallica megaforce. Was psyched to find Fistful of Metal, but it was trashed

Have a very nice copy of In-A-Gadda signed by Doug Ingle.

I finally found a RL Led Zeppelin II in VG+ condition and someone stole it from me and the dude doesn't even know what a RL pressing is.

There's a spoof of SOME GIRLS with Matt Damon's face replacing all the faces somewhere on the Net called SOME DAMONS.

Soul and funk records, similar to 70s hard rock & metal, also got beat to hell due to being played heavily and partied with. I bought a used Deep Purple In Rock a few years ago that had 50 year old marijuana residue in the seam of the gatefold. Does a copy of Carole King's Tapestry exist that isn't heavily ring-worn, or Joni Mitchell's Court & Spark that isn't filthy due to that tan cover?

Amazing Finds! Really cool Records 👍

I have some Doors albums that are pretty thrashed. I have two copies of their debut, one was a later 1980s pressing but unplayable with lots of skips, and an early pressing (gold label) that is at least playable but the cover is pretty thrashed. I'm certain that any 1980s hair metal album would be likely in beat shape given how popular they were in parties. I expect Grand Funk Railroad albums to be trashed given they were popular with teenagers back in the 1970s and they weren't exactly known for taking care of records. Surprisingly most of my Grand Funk vinyl is in rather good shape. I have Zappa albums in all conditions. I have Freak Out that is pretty trashed and crackly but no skips, same for Burnt Weeny Sandwich, but his later '70s like Over-Nite Sensation, Apostrophe, and One Size Fits All are in great shape.

I usually grab beater white albums of if I can find them cheap. Usually I can take a pencil eraser to the ringwear and it cleans up very well. Also with all my creedence records I try and grab laminate sleeve copies, which are usually in way better condition then non laminate. Other then the ones mentioned I see a lot of beater copies of rod stewarts “every picture tells a story.”

Very good information, Led Zep II For sure!!! Great channel, just subbed you up, I mainly talk rock vinyl and post a few concert clips on my channel, sharing the good music info is awesome, Peace!

I just picked up an OG copy of “Crimson and Clover” today at a thrift store. As per usual it was pretty trashed. It’s a place holder for now. Psyc-rock albums from this time seem to all be trashed. As for gimmicks covers, the two that popped into my mind are Georg Harrison’s Extra Texture and The Wailer’s Catch a Fire. Luckily I snagged myself a nice copy of Catch A Fire (but I had to pay up for it). Cheers

You can add almost any album by Kiss, especially "Kiss Alive" or Black Sabbath for that matter. Deep Purple "Machine Head", Jimi Hendrix LPs. Any "party album" invariably gets beaten up.

Da vidda is always absolutely horrible. So funny. So is mahavishnu orchestra birds of fire…and YES ON COSMOS AND ALL EARLY CREEDENCE!!! Great video

I thought I had a copy of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" but I looked and it turns out that I don't. It's that kind of record, a novelty you might pick up on a nostalgic whim when you come across it in the $1.99 bin, which is probably why copies are usually not in such good shape. I place Iron Butterfly alongside bands like Steppenwolf and Vanilla Fudge, proto-metal Atco and ABC Dunhill acts that had a hit single or two and were briefly popular (showing up on TV variety shows) when I was about 11 years old, sold a lot of records very quickly, but didn't sustain major career success. We didn't know how to categorize their music at the time, but these early "hard rock" bands were soon eclipsed by the heavier likes of Cream and Black Sabbath, so people tend not to take them very seriously anymore. Because people didn't treat them with much reverence, theirs were the first albums to fill cut-out and bargain bins in used record stores...

Even the zillions of yellow Atco labelers?!??Weird.I see Iron Butterfly's in usually nice shape on the yellow,at least.The lavender /tans are almost non-existent.

KISS. The originals should absolutley be on this list.

Nice 13th Floor Elevators on the wall,there.Original I.A.copy?!???

I have a mint 1st lavendar/tan labeler on In -A -Gadda- Da- Vida!!No,they rarely show up in ANY shape,let alone mint!

"Well loved by original owner" 😂 . There's a few I gave up on and got the CD like Vanilla Fudge first album because the record is always beat

Great finds!! Oh man some that is high up. Bubble Puppy I have on its way. Got Dragonfly some years ago. Amazing one!! T2 oh man!! One that is high up on the want list. Power of... is amazing. Got one for sale in Mac shop too. And the Uncertain is such a killer. Made my top reissues 2024 list. I dident get a reissue of that Winterhawk. Should have! The Millennium is soooo good. I got it a couple of years ago. One of my all time favourite. I have a Major Minor of July. My second copy. I know - insane! Dumb luck really. Amazing record!! Thanks for sharing dude! Cant wait to go back and watch your others Jonas

Leon Russell - Leon Live is the same way. Beat to hell. And Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends
