So cool. I never knew that story. i knew there must've been an explanation of the Voice of Harold lyrics but I never looked into it. Pretty cool. For those who haven't heard the entire Dead Letter Office album, it's very good. In fact, I think it's better than anything they released after Document. Might seem crazy to many people except hardcore REM fans like me, but I think their first 5 records are their best by far.
Love stories like this & you are a great story teller! Great video, great story! Thanks for sharing!
I was familiar with the R.E.M. story so really nice to see the actual record cover! Thanks so much for sharing it!!
Hey thanks for watching!
The cover was photographed at the chapel of Camp Barnhardt Boy Scout Camp in New London, NC.
So being a recent manager at Goodwill I will give ya a heads up why ya never find anything.. All the media is put in a big box ( I mean HUGE.. 4 foot x 5 foot by 4 foot) We just through it all in a box, records, cds, tapes, 8tracks, real to reals. They get sent to main warehouse and they empty the box into bins. Then 4 or 5 people scan every record, cd, tape and if they come up as valuable they send them to their online store. If not they get tossed back into the big box and sent back to the same store. Sometimes those like me will pull out rare records and puts them in collectables area. Or I would put out some decent stuff just to get people in, and those who collected records a chance at some good stuff.. Pretty much all stuff is done that way now at Goodwill..
not all charity shops and chains are as organized, but over time more will follow that. the business model for the stores is changing now, they are an established business and no longer need to sell everything super cheap. which kinda sucks for long income people, i've seen these places put everything up, making is hard for people to get cheap clothing, essentials.
@@varsityathlete9927 I use to make a good living reselling stuff from goodwill, and other thrift stores.. Now no way to do it. Especially when everyone around here sells used for new prices. And even stuff still sealed for higher price. Im lucky to find 1 or 2 things a month to make any money on these days..
Great insight! Thanks!
@@figuresix That wasn't going to last forever, the stores were going to move into improving their pricing/sorting. I enjoy the looking more than expecting to get anything. Virtually all vinyl I buy collections directly off the owner. We get some really good stuff that way, but higher prices.
I could buy more stuff too, but it's best to focus on one thing. Occasionally I see something in a house and ask, got a complete skeleton this week that way lol. Old doctor, just gave it to me because he was shocked how much we paid for the records. I'm keeping it, as it's a neat thing to have, he said himself it's worth a lot of money. That is because I like to talk with people about their life and stuff, it's not just buy records, haggle them down and leave.
Some stores do this and some don’t. I know the media person at my local store and he sorts and puts out all CDs and records that come into the store. I think it depends on the Goodwill region. They all do it differently.
Man, I have been on the lookout for this record for years, ever since I first heard "Voice of Harold" back when DLO came out. Now I know what the cover looks like at least! That's a bummer about the disc being missing. I've had that happen before and did the same thing you did, searching every record in a stack of junk and came up empty. Can't remember what record that was, though. Awesome story, and thanks for going into detail about why Michael Stipe was reading from the back of that album. I saw R.E.M. in FL in 1985 and 1986, the first time with Let's Active and the second with Flat Duo Jets. Imagine that! Awesome channel, BTW.
Thanks for sharing ! The colors are great on this cover, I can see why he was drawn to it. ⭐️🌸🦋
Thanks Dillion for the great story about this LP. I’ll keep an eye out for it in my neighborhood too. I love these kind of stories, please tell some more.
Thanks man!
Dil: when I'm hunting through swap meets and thrift shops for rare records the first ones I buy are those on obscure labels I've never heard of and by artists I'm not familiar with or those that have unusual covers.
What a great story! Even if the ending had a twist, it's still an excellent story, and it'll look great on your wall. Greetings from Raleigh!
The records out here in San Diego run about $2.50 each at the thrift shops, so it's harder to take a chance a pile of unknowns. Sure was great when they were only a buck! Best find in the past few years was a $60 Don Cherry Blue Note LP mint in the shrink that I got a few weeks ago!
Your vids are very relaxing and informative, keep it up
Very interesting story, thanks for sharing. This is the kind of great content that has made you so popular. Keep it up!
Nothing better than a quality thrift store find, it’s how I got into this hobby as a 12 year old just wandering around goodwill with $5 and a dream.
😂😂😂
Goodwill is not a quality thrift store. They cherry pick the good stuff and put it on eBay. Anything else in the stores is junk or ridiculously overpriced.
You are always so honest 😊
Woah...check out that bokeh! Looking good n sharp sir!
I had never heard of the record so thanks for the background on it.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Great story, love the twist at the end.
I love when good people win. What a fun backstory, Dill
I was so stoked for you on your find. I was hoping you would have acquired a VG+ - M- copy. Frame the jacket because it’s going to be a conversation piece. Great story.
Thanks man!
Dillon love the story and the history,always smile afterwords thanks.
Thanks joe!
I love you editing.
Sometimes you just get lucky. I found first pressing of Hendrix ‘Electric Ladyland’ for $5 at an estate sale. The sleeve had done ring wear but the records themselves were mint. I love that album.
The original sleeves were in pristine condition.🎉
Voice of Harold is one of my favorite tracks on DLO. Thanks for sharing that story, both about the recording and your find at the local Goodwill.
Great story
I also wanted to thank you for the copy of Santana- abraxas I bought from you on whatnot. Came in quick and was a nice upgrade over my modern copy
Awesome! Thanks so much!!!
I've had some good $80 to $300 dollar scores but this is a legendary dig 🤙🏻
Awesome! I found this one a few years ago. I was flipping and knew that name from somewhere and it clicked. Started reading the back cover and I couldn't believe it.
Awesome story….seems like the set got a lighting change! Love it
Same lighting, new camera!
You have a gift for storytelling. Had me going. 👍😎
Great video.
Hi Dillon, nice story. New record collector here and already have some good stories. Looking forward to connect on what not, etc.
Hi, Dillon you have so much more opportunities in the US to find some remarkable records and bargains then down here in Australia, so lucky good for you.
That is frickin' awesome!!!
🙌🙏
Never knew R.E.M. recorded in NC, that's AWESOME!! They're an old school fav of mine since the late 80s, early 90s. The background story of that record is INSANE. Nice end of vid twist too 🤣
I've watched a few of your posts in the past and never knew you were from NC! Me too!! I'll have to come and visit the ole brick and mortar.
Anyway... thanks for the video and happy hunting out there!
HOLY JEEBUS!!!! GRATZ BRO!!!
Great story 👍
Killer find! I've found a few gems at thrifts. My top two are a VG copy of Buckingham Nicks and a G+ RL "hot mix" copy of Zep II.
I love R.E.M. so as soon as you described this record I knew what it was despite never looking into which album the lyrics to Voice of Harold were from prior to this video
Good stuff Dillon.
Thanks man!
🙏That Was An Awesome Funny Story🤟
It’s Always Been That Way For Me Too. Some Of The Best Potential Records Are Always Empty Sleeves! Thanks D!
Yep 😂 Thanks for watching! 🙏
Rarely happens here in the UK any more, most charity shops have someone who checks all the vinyl and the valuable stuff goes straight on ebay or discogs etc. they just leave the crap in the shop for £1 or whatever.
Very groovy! It's interesting that the color scheme and design of Dead Letter Office looks like it was influenced by the Revelaires cover.
I love your enthusiasm!! It is so great to see someone else that loves vinyl as much as I do. ❤️
Amazing!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
This wins the internet this week.
Cool story!!!
Great story! “The one that got away”!
A must!
Amazing. I bet dozens of people just passed that one up thinking it was nothing.
My biggest thrift store fine: The album From All Dimensions by The Dimensions. Garage rock from the late 60s. Woot!!!
Great story, Dylan! As a longtime Goodwill shopper I can unfortunately confirm what figure 6 is saying is true here in Northern Colorado as well. 10 years ago, any given trip could lead to a treasure trove find of records and/or vintage stereo gear. Plentiful and reasonably priced. Now, essentially everything goes to Denver for processing, and what comes back is the dregs that no one wants. The good stuff goes on the Goodwill auction site. Especially disappointing that the donated stuff does not stay in the local community. Unfortunately, I think most donors naïvely assume it does!
Same in Chicago area. Corporate greed, not serving the community.
just remember: they're a "non-profit". "Care to round up?'.
What a twist!!! 😲
Ha, great story and REM folklore! My best thiriftstore flip was an odd dj remix of Prince "Sexy Dancer" 12" by Mad Mix Bobby Z, bought for 99c sold in less than a week for $100. Sold fast enough that I probably could've gotten more, but no complaints! Keep up the great videos!
This is exactly what thrifting records is all about, what a great find! I wish there was a good dedicated marketplace for sleeves/loose records. There has to be a loose record that needs a good sleeve companion. The amount of times I've found an awesome sleeve with no record is silly.
Yeah it’s a bummer 😂
So cool....and then not! I am a big REM fan but I never heard this story before. Very cool -- RECKONING is my favorite album of theirs. Definitely frame it, Dillon!
Awesome story!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Dead Letter Office was released just before Document. I recall Document being delayed. 1987 was a long time ago, but I can listen and go back!!!
The Rich get Richer....congrats Brutha 👍
Nice !
Fantastic!! I’ve found some great things myself at goodwill will, the weirdest thing i’ve found was a fake butcher cover! Have a feeling some collector has a weird sense of humor and thought it would be funny to leave it there!! But congratulations on your find!
Haha! Funny!
I went to Goodwill back in November and I went through their records and I found an original copy of the 5 Satians Sing lp from 1957 for only a $1
Sad in a way that the record wasn't in the sleeve but great for 49 cents to put on the wall. Nicely told...i was with you all the way and thanks for the info. I knew nothing about that.
I recently found a pristine Miles Davis Sketches of Spain 6 eye at Goodwill in Indianapolis. Mostly, I find Barry Manilow, Barbara Streisand, Herb Albert, etc...
Wow, true what they say money makes money
I had a similar experience at GW when I found a record called "The Graham Gouldman Thing". Pre 10cc Gouldman. No record in it. Bought it an will wait till I find it in the wild.
Ah! Bummer!
I love charity shop finds. Sometimes you get lucky. Gold dust. 😊
Yep! Thanks for watching! 🙏
Back in the late '70s, I found a Beatles "Butcher" album, at a Salvation Army. This was not the one with the sticker over the original. The disc was NM but the cover was VG+. Never found any other rare albums, but quite a few, better ones.
cool story!!
Thanks man!
Hi from New Zealand.
I recently helped a friend clean out his garage.. it took hours and hours(6ish) of sweaty, dusty work.
At the end we cracked a beer and he says pull back that curtain.. behind the curtain was maybe 500 records.. he says I want them all gone today.
As I loaded my car I didn't see a single one I wanted, but I thought you never know..
99% show tunes from 1930s represses to modern musicals. Gospel.. i was looking through the last maybe 15 records, I found a mint NZ press of The Specials. The 3rd last one was Back in Black 2nd last one was AC/DC POWERAGE... The blue one.. could not believe my eyes. Take care jared
Hi Dylan, it's always nice when you come across something of that caliber at a thrift store. I'm constantly finding Jim neighbors and Olivia Newton-John 🤪. I'm just hoping I get lucky before rigamortis sets in. Appreciate your videos take care.
Thanks! I never find anything either
Many kinda amusing to you, Olivia sells well for me. We have no copies of Grease and a list of people asking for a copy. Xanadu sells a lot too, but it's got that ELO link and ELO sell so quickly.
Physical sells very quickly, her early album too.
Haha I found a NM Coltrane my favorite things cover at a GW and I obsessively looked for the disc in that store for days, The workers would see me and shake their heads
Great story
Thanks for watching! 🙏
I was fortunate to be in Athens during these wonderful years… it was so awesome such a great music town… actually got to work for their manager for a while … epic times…great guys all around…and I actually didn’t know this story so thanks …I did get to party with Radiohead when they came to Athens cause they were opening for rem… and I’ll tell you this Radiohead didn’t really party pretty shy group of fellas … great times
Amazing!
Great story....let me know if you come to Texas...p b
About two years ago, I found an original box set of the John Lennon and Yoko Ono WEDDING ALBUM that came out in 1969 and an early 80's George Harrison bootleg entitled BY GEORGE! that collected b-sides and some rare tracks at a Goodwill. They were priced cheaply for a few bucks.
Lol. I would pass over that without looking twice. Nice score.
😂🙏
That's a cool story! Too bad the album wasn't in there! Myself I did get not one but two in one day at a local GW. One was a Descendents live album, which is cool in its own right, the other was a first pressing of The Foo Fighters debut album! I did take it to my local record shop and had it checked out. It's worth some coin but not selling it. Its not everyday you find something that cool!
As far as gospel record covers go...this one is a peach!! While picking, I definitely would have keyed in on it. First, because of the logo/band name graphic. And second, because of REM's The Voice of Harold. I played the crap out of Dead Letter Office. "HE WILL RETURN!!!"
Goodwill is great in south Florida
I had a similar experience with 'New Thing at Newport' John Coltrane/Archie Shepp recorded at 1965's Newport Jazz Festival and released on impulse!. It's a little dirty but the seams are intact. There is no ringwear. Gatefold cover with no ringwear? I almost cried when I found it empty.
Dillion Can you do a video on how you organize your records? I’m struggling to organize my records. I feel I should do it by name, then I think by genre, then by year…. Ugh!
I believe he organizes by genre and then alphabetically. I've done something similar. I have a New Wave section, a local band section, and a regular rock section, and finally an odd ball section that includes records from smaller genres like classical and jazz.
Good old discogs eh?
Neat story. Stipe does have your Amish beard now anyway so maybe he's having second thoughts.
In UK there was a Psych band called Out of Darkness much searched for only one album ever used to go for a tidy sum but now more reasonable price. Same with lots of things fluctuating. Flavours of the month.
Wow, so jealous!!! I’ll trade ya 😂
I’ll gladly give you $150 in records for the jacket.
Since selling off a bunch of records in the early 2000's and finding out later what some were worth, I have since educated myself and got back into the search for vinyl. I was in Tulsa Oklahoma and was doing some stops at garage sales and thrift stores. I stopped at one garage sale early in the morning and the nice elderly lady had some records her deceased husband had from the 60's and 70's, I looked thru the stack and knew a couple of the bands, there were a couple Beatles albums and a couple of Doors albums. She wanted 25 dollars for about 50 albums, so I bought them, heck it was 50 cents an album why not seeing they were mainly rock albums and a few Beatles and Doors albums. After I purchased them I made a few other stops, didn't find any other vinyl and decided togo back to my brothers house and go thru my find. In that stack of 50 albums was an original Marbel Phroggs album, in VG+, I never heard of Marble Phrogg so I went on discogs and looked the album up and I nearly S--- my pants, this was a rare album. I also found a 1st pressing of Strawberry Alarm Clocks incense and peppermint album in VG+ as well. The Beatles and Doors albums were reissues from the mid to late 70's, so nothing really valuable there but still they are Beatles and Doors.
Cool❤🙏🏼
Thanks for watching! 🙏
My best " find" in a charity shop was a Howlin Wolf mono on Chess 1960's .Only paid £1 - happy days. * Finding your record sleeve only was a bummer.
10+ years ago I was finding great albums at Goodwill. No longer the case. However,I did find a Glen Campbell recently , not worth more then the 1.99 I paid but nice to add it to my collection.
Haha yep! Thanks for watching! 🙏
If we're talking exclusively thrift stores I'm sure I've found a few decent records but nothing over $100. Flea markets are another story though. I found a turquoise Zeppelin I with an unscratched matrix for $10 and a plum label 1st UK II with it, also $10. Best records I ever found in a NC thrift store was "Feel The Sound of Harvey Mandel" which isn't rare but a great listen anyways. I also found the cleanest original Zeppelin albums I've ever seen at a flea market near Asheville. If I ever get down that way again I will visit your shop.
Ouch no record, but very cool to get it up in your shop! Sounds more like a $250 sale but not bad for 49 cents. Best I ever did from a Good will was a 50 cent record of an early '60's record on Cameo by The Campers that I bought a good 20+ years ago and sold on ebay for about $150. It featured a bunch of kids songs like Polly Wolly Doodle sung by some young unknown singers. Only a few months before I bought it; the record was a newly discovered gem as one of the unknown singers was a young Phil Ochs(the folk singer) before he had made it as a star. His brother and his sister both confirmed it was him as he was not credited on the album. They said he was in Philly I think or NYC and was approached to sing and needed money. Anyway; that was my best thrift find ever and now it's probably just a $20 sale
Nice find Man! Can you answer this question though….”is there actually a real market for that record? Who is looking for that at that price?”
👌
I'm most intrigued by your buying 1000 records per week. What percentage walks into the shop?
In 1990, I found a $75 record for 15 cents at a St. Vincent de Paul in Portland OR. It's a 1967 issue of Robbie Basho's "Seal of the Blue Lotus."
Awesome!
this is why I always say to check your local thrift store cause you never know what youll find.
Yep!
It’s nine months later. Did you end up selling it?
49¢ for an album.. and I thought a dollar was cheap for an album here in Virginia goodwill. Congratulations bro 👌
Here I’m trying to find a nice original Def Leppard Hysteria first pressing.
I'm an REM fan and have the RECKONING lp but would NEVER pay a grand for a recording by a group of nobodies---even though Michael Stipe recorded some of their lyrics from their lp cover. Silly story but fascinating just the same. LOVE that twist!! Got a big laugh out of it. Well done. (Feel free,anyone,to enlighten me here if you feel I'm not getting the gist of the story. I won't be offended.)
At least you have the cover. That sounds like it’s the only reason to buy it anyway.
A coupe of month's ago. I found a weird Singapore pressing of Richie Blackmore's rainbow. its on a weird label called "lady" its not on discogs, guess its sorta rare. it still my best record find that has not been scratched to hell..
I have found many empty jackets of great records at Goodwill. Know that feeling.
Yep 🤣
Hi Dillion! I have around 500 Lp's from the 70' to the 90'! I want to sell them on Ebay (Beginner). If possible, could you make a short video how to sell the LP's the best? (Making good photos with the shiny surface is not easy!!) Regards from Switzerland Edward
