Hi Dom... I'm not much of a 45 guy... I have prob a couple dozen, but nothing too crazy, and I rarely listen to them. I've purposely limited myself to LPs, otherwise otherwise I'd buy WAY too much and the mortgage would never get paid, haha. Thanks for the suggestion Frank
Hi Frank - Love the shopping and "travel" videos. That flea market would be a total time-suck for me. John Coltrane - cool beans, man. Blue Train is a great pick up. Looking forward to a similar video from Winnipeg! Cheers!
Thanks Paul! I do hope to do some "out and about" vids in this new city as well. The flea market is always interesting... always lots of characters there, that's for sure. And no shortage of things to check out (though some are over-priced). I'm happy with the Coltrane record! Cheers Frank
I also went to the Flea Market in Oshawa with a friend about a week ago and found a couple nice gems on LP, Test Dept. - Beating the Retreat and Trouble's self-titled LP by Banzai Records! The latter is warped very badly and will be getting it fixed from my local shop's Vinyl Flat kit very soon.
Hola Banana!!!! killer flea market you have there \,,/ our flea markets here are shit all you find is tools, equipment in pieces and broken bikes. If I was there, I'd be visiting that place every weekend. cheers JC/Miami
I hope you are not too disappointed in Winnipeg record stores and flea markets. Our flea markets are nowhere that organized but I think our stores are decent, with Into the Music my personal favorite. Hope to bump into you sometime during your record hunting. Welcome back to Winnipeg!
Hi Cameron! I'm familiar with most of the record stores in Winnipeg, so no disappointments there. I remember buying bootleg cassettes from Into the Music when it was on Corydon, then Osborne. I think the Exchange location is one of the better record stores in Western Canada. I've been to Thirsty's flea market a few times, and while it's smaller, I've found some good deals there. It's cool that Comic World (one of my fav haunts as a kid on the 80s) has a space there. Where are the other flea markets?
There is another on Osborne, near the transit station, but it is not as good as Thirsty's. There is a new documentary on Winnipeg record stores, but I have not seen it yet.
That's a nice (and big) flea market Frank...the Vancouver equivalent is nowhere near so clean & well organized, there are some record sellers but you kind of feel like the cops are going to burst in any minute. Heard about Freecloud from a friend who used to live in Edmonton for many years. Digging with the kids in tow, I haven't braved that yet! Still need to pick up that Afro-Latin Soul Vol. 2, got gifted Vol. 1 which was pretty cool. Cheers!
Hello Doug! This is the biggest flea market in Edmonton and always fun to visit. There are some real characters there... the deals are getting harder to come by, but it is possible to find cool stuff. Freecloud is small, but I tend to find lots of good things there. Thanks for weighing in! Frank
Thank you. I like to bring them once in awhile...it reminds them that music can be tangible, not just something streamed from their iPads. I remember my mom used to drag me off to antique stores when I was young, and I hated it, haha. Of course, that's how I got the bug myself. Have a great week. Frank
ooo! I noticed that your fave record store had snfu anoewtp in the window. I still have to get a better copy of that with the 2nd cover. the flea market looks sweet. hopefully I can find the place if I ever get to Edmonton again. I can't get my kids to join me anymore when I go snoopin for records. enjoy it while it lasts :) SRV never gets old. his albums will always be timeless. Rock on!
Sharp eye Gil! My kids are already grumbling about record shopping, haha. But once they get out there it's ok. I bribed them with a trip to 7-Eleven, haha. I remember when they were super little, I'd hold a kid in one arm and flip through the stacks with the other. If you ever make it to Edmonton, there are two Super Flea Market locations... one on 111 Ave and one on 50th Street. This is the larger one on 111. Only open Saturdays and Sundays. Hope you're feeling better. Frank
thanks Frank :) .. things are on the up and up.. but I find that I do a little too much then the foot swells up and I pay for it.. however I did get into my room for a little bit a couple of days ago. crawling up the stairs backwards in yer butt is quite a workout. hahaha. One thing I don't miss about bribing the kids are the time where I end up spending more money on their treats than the couple of bucks I spent on records. :)
Yes, I was wondering if anyone would spot that. For some reason, that one seller always seems to have Soviet pressings of various records in stock. Kinda cool to see. Thanks for the comment Frank
You deserve it Jeff... you have good advice and never lead me astray. Move is going well... looks like we will be in our new home July 15. Hope all is well back in Edmonton. Frank
I'd be checking out what records they have under "Rough Trade". 1:12 You daughters have good taste in music. 2:20 (I was referring to Elvis, not so much Kiss.)
We have several "thrift malls" and flea markets around the area where I live but nothing even comes close to the size and contents of that one! It'd literally take me a couple of weeks to look through everything in that place,lol!
I went to that super flea before covid and I bought korn serenity of suffering on vinyl and I bought mudvanye lost and found on cd and also so far so good so what by megadeth
Frank, we used to have an awesome flea market in our town. In fact, most people only knew of the area because of the flea market. Unfortunately, they closed it down to sell the land for development. It's only being developed now, about 10 years later. Almost everyone misses it now. There's nothing like it anywhere nearby now.
great video have fun moving all them records,He Y have you ever been to letudios since I know you live in Canada I heard they were restoring it also sent you a friend request on Fb Love the video
Hey Richard. The move wasn't fun but we got it done. I have never been to Le Studios but we live quite far from Montreal (1,400 miles according to Google). Cheers man! Frank
Damn, Frank, I've never seen a flea market look so good. About that record department, how far would you say Edmonton is from Chicago? It's been about 6 weeks since I bought a record. I blew off the most recent record show in Hillside (May 21) and I love those shows...I was putting away for the Deluxe Sgt Pepper Box set and it was well worth the wait - even the extra day I had to wait for delivery because Amazon screwed up my address.
I've been to Chicago twice. It's really far, haha... according to Google, Edmonton is 1, 435 miles northwest of Chicago ... just a stone's throw from the Rockies. We're much closer to Montana, Idaho, Washington. Cheers! Frank
Love em! Great bang for your buck. I've had them for two years and they are still great. Here's a link to a review I did when I got them... I don't like watching these old vids because my presentation was awkward, haha. th-cam.com/video/jMuW24ePh1s/w-d-xo.html Cheers, Frank
I tried it once... 20+ years ago... and didn't need to try it again, haha. As far as I know, they weren't using Van Halen to sell it this last time. Cheers! Frank
Hey Frank, Great video and fantastic seeing you again still in your music room! Congratulations on the Van Halen cassette find and that market looks absolutely amazing and somewhere I can get lost in for hours. Enjoy your pickups and talk to you soon buddy. Take care.~ Jeff
Hey Frank, you were fortunate that the SRV album was still there. I had a copy of Queensryche Operation Mindcrime in my hands. The seller was asking $15.00 U.S. I too thought the price was to high so I left it. Got home and found it was more reasonable than I thought. Went back to get it and it was gone... Anyway, nice vid as always. Lance
It is very organized. Some stuff is overpriced but it's always an interesting place to visit... Lots of characters at the flea market. You could make a reality show there pretty easily, haha. Thanks for the shirt comment. Official Channel 33 RPM swag! Have a great week. Frank
The flee market where I live offer a pile of like 30 records, one of top on another. All rigorously bented and super scratched. for huge prices! You are so lucky!
Thank you Mark! I've been slowly getting sucked into the word of jazz. I'm proceeding with caution, because it's still new to me, but I'm slowly leaning. Cheers Frank
Hey I have a question. Are my records safe in a 80-95 degree house without air conditioning during the summer? They are well packed in an odyssey LP box. My windows slide to the side so I can't use a regular air conditioner and I haven't gotten around to purchasing a portable air conditioner at this time. I'd appreciate an answer as I'm quite unsure about their safety.
Hola Bannana! another great video you have a wonderful family if I could suggest a bit of music for you maybe you could check it out ok so the arctic monkeys fantastic english band from Sheffield not too fair from where I grew up all there albums are fantastic but the 3rd "humbug" really speaks to me the track crying lightning I hope you like it also jake bugg and the mumford and sons sigh no more album give it a go let me know what you think
Hola banana Daryl! I've heard of the Arctic Monkeys, but have never heard their music. I will check 'em out on Spotify. I'm pretty sure they have come through town a number of times. All the best! Frank
Great out and about video. You should check out Cinema Sickness' flea market video (especially Jake's Flea Market). Wetmovie1 and Coolduder also do some swap meet videos as well. One time I did find a few Stevie Ray Vaughan LPs for a $1.00 each (with the exception of Texas Flood in which I purchased off of eBay) at a Savers thrift store in the States.
Hey bro. Becky and I were wondering if you could do a shoutout in one of your upcoming videos for our channel. we have a huge subscribers contest on the go and Becky and I would love people to know we have a channel. We just started season two and are having fun making videos. cheers.
Hey Frank I saw Alice Cooper in the bin you were browsing,what's a good album of his to look for? So far I just have his greatest hits LP. Bye the way I see Alice on local car dealership adds here.
Not Frank, but anyway: Love it to Death Killer Schools Out Billion Dollar Babies (my favorite) Muscle of Love Ifyou like his ballads: Welcome to My Nightmare Goes to Hell
I see we live in a world whereby a guy makes a video of him and his kids going to buy records and then shows them to us, and somebody decides nah fuck this I'm thumbing this down. I mean what the actual fuck is wrong with people?!
That looks like an awesome Flea Market!
Fun to visit, for sure!
Frank
Awesome Video!!!! Killer Vaughan pick up!!!! Cheers Mick
Thanks Mick! It is a great album. I was looking on Discogs again and I can't believe how expensive it's become. RIP SRV.
Cheers,
Frank
Flea markets here are outside and in the summer. Lool forward to the Winnipeg stores.
Hummus and pita! My wife serves Hummus at her daycare for healthy snacks. Great pick ups.
I don't care for chick peas on their own... but hummus... love the stuff!
Hace a great week.
Frank
Dam I live right by there ☺
Awesome pick with Stevie Ray Vaughan, that album is fantastic! Great vid like always!
Thanks! Glad you dug the video!
Frank
When you can, please do a video on your 45 collection thanks, Dom
Hi Dom... I'm not much of a 45 guy... I have prob a couple dozen, but nothing too crazy, and I rarely listen to them. I've purposely limited myself to LPs, otherwise otherwise I'd buy WAY too much and the mortgage would never get paid, haha.
Thanks for the suggestion
Frank
i love flea markets!! They look kind of the same here in Europe!
Flea markets are so fun to explore.
Cheers my friend.
Frank
I got the essential srv and double trouble on CD from goodwill for a dollar. now my fav to drink to.
Great compilation.... SRV is definitely one of my favorite guitar players. He was so good it's crazy.
Good deal on the CD, BTW
Frank
i got excited when i saw in step, a grail for me also.
Hi Frank -
Love the shopping and "travel" videos. That flea market would be a total time-suck for me. John Coltrane - cool beans, man. Blue Train is a great pick up.
Looking forward to a similar video from Winnipeg!
Cheers!
Thanks Paul! I do hope to do some "out and about" vids in this new city as well. The flea market is always interesting... always lots of characters there, that's for sure. And no shortage of things to check out (though some are over-priced).
I'm happy with the Coltrane record!
Cheers
Frank
I also went to the Flea Market in Oshawa with a friend about a week ago and found a couple nice gems on LP, Test Dept. - Beating the Retreat and Trouble's self-titled LP by Banzai Records! The latter is warped very badly and will be getting it fixed from my local shop's Vinyl Flat kit very soon.
Hola Banana!!!! killer flea market you have there \,,/ our flea markets here are shit all you find is tools, equipment in pieces and broken bikes. If I was there, I'd be visiting that place every weekend. cheers JC/Miami
Hello JC. Hola banana back to you as well, haha.
I think my youngest daughter has come up with a new catch phrase.
Stay cool.
Frank
I hope you are not too disappointed in Winnipeg record stores and flea markets. Our flea markets are nowhere that organized but I think our stores are decent, with Into the Music my personal favorite. Hope to bump into you sometime during your record hunting. Welcome back to Winnipeg!

I wish we had a flea market like that here in Brisbane, Australia.......it looks amazing.
That's a nice (and big) flea market Frank...the Vancouver equivalent is nowhere near so clean & well organized, there are some record sellers but you kind of feel like the cops are going to burst in any minute. Heard about Freecloud from a friend who used to live in Edmonton for many years. Digging with the kids in tow, I haven't braved that yet!

Hello Doug! This is the biggest flea market in Edmonton and always fun to visit. There are some real characters there... the deals are getting harder to come by, but it is possible to find cool stuff.
Freecloud is small, but I tend to find lots of good things there.
Thanks for weighing in!
Frank
Your girls are so cute...and I really like you include them in some of your hunts...because someday they will all belong to them.
Thank you. I like to bring them once in awhile...it reminds them that music can be tangible, not just something streamed from their iPads. I remember my mom used to drag me off to antique stores when I was young, and I hated it, haha. Of course, that's how I got the bug myself.
Have a great week.
Frank

Sure hope to see you quickly after you land in the 'Peg. Great channel.
01:42 "Дом голубого света" the soviet press of The House of Blue Light by Deep Purple. What a surprise to get flashed this in Canada!
Yes, I was wondering if anyone would spot that. For some reason, that one seller always seems to have Soviet pressings of various records in stock. Kinda cool to see.
Thanks for the comment
Frank
Record collectors paradise got a collection of sealed lps... see thier videos
Hola Banana Frank -
Great Video, great to see you involving your daughters in your vinyl hobby. It will be great fun and memories as they grow up.
Two shout outs in two weeks :) Thanks Frank! Hope everything is going well with the move!!
You deserve it Jeff... you have good advice and never lead me astray. Move is going well... looks like we will be in our new home July 15.
Hope all is well back in Edmonton.
Frank
NICE! John Coltrane "Blue Train" I just got that one for my collection a few weeks back.
nice!!! I took a month or two off from buying records. but I bought my self one Last night on ebay.. Scorpions- Return To Forever
Nice pickup! I was eying that one as well.
Cheers
Frank
I'd be checking out what records they have under "Rough Trade". 1:12 You daughters have good taste in music. 2:20 (I was referring to Elvis, not so much Kiss.)

Van Halen! For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (turn that into an acronym and see what you get)
Oh, I know, haha. I just keep the it G-Rated cause my kids watch.
\m/
Frank
wtf that flea market section is better than my record store
I went to that super flea before covid and I bought korn serenity of suffering on vinyl and I bought mudvanye lost and found on cd and also so far so good so what by megadeth
I miss that place.
Frank, we used to have an awesome flea market in our town. In fact, most people only knew of the area because of the flea market. Unfortunately, they closed it down to sell the land for development. It's only being developed now, about 10 years later. Almost everyone misses it now. There's nothing like it anywhere nearby now.
Our flea markets are so different in Australia - mostly just art and craft junk.
Edmonton looks like a beautiful part of Canada!
you might wanna download that Discogs app for checking prices on the go. It's saved me from passing up some great deals in the past
Have it, but for whatever reason I didn't think of checking at the time. Lesson learned...
Cheers,
Frank
Great finds! There is a flea market in my area that has a great record booth, but the rest of the place is pretty sketchy. I run in and run out!
great video have fun moving all them records,He Y have you ever been to letudios since I know you live in Canada I heard they were restoring it also sent you a friend request on Fb Love the video
Hey Richard. The move wasn't fun but we got it done. I have never been to Le Studios but we live quite far from Montreal (1,400 miles according to Google).
Cheers man!
Frank
The $2 flea records here were worth $1.
Gotta love shopping for records at flea markets.
It's always fun, even just for the characters you meet!
Thanks for the comment.
Frank
GreT flea market to search vinyl - nothing like that in my parts! I absolutely love SRV but have yet to pick up any OP vinyl - great pickup Frank.
Hola banana! It's my new official greeting.
Haha, it's got a ring to it. I have no idea where she got that from...
Cheers,
Frank

Hmmm, good to know. Uh, I think I'll call ahead before I make the trip :)
:)
What's your review of the Fluance speakers? Did you do a video on them?
Love em! Great bang for your buck. I've had them for two years and they are still great.
Here's a link to a review I did when I got them... I don't like watching these old vids because my presentation was awkward, haha.

Thanks!
You know, Crystal Pepsi has come back...
300DBenz its been discontinued again
I tried it once... 20+ years ago... and didn't need to try it again, haha. As far as I know, they weren't using Van Halen to sell it this last time.
Cheers!
Frank
So, What's the deal about the flea market you know, about the fleas?
Good question.
They give each customer a free swatter and douse them with "OFF"
+Channel 33 RPM I had a woman at checkout at Big Lots tell me Crystal Pepsi - Now that's some white people shit!
Hey Frank,
Great video and fantastic seeing you again still in your music room! Congratulations on the Van Halen cassette find and that market looks absolutely amazing and somewhere I can get lost in for hours. Enjoy your pickups and talk to you soon buddy. Take care.~ Jeff
Love Poundcake, also own the VH F.U.C.K. tape, from my brother.
Great album!
Hey Frank, you were fortunate that the SRV album was still there. I had a copy of Queensryche Operation Mindcrime in my hands. The seller was asking $15.00 U.S. I too thought the price was to high so I left it. Got home and found it was more reasonable than I thought. Went back to get it and it was gone... Anyway, nice vid as always. Lance
Wow I wish I found you sooner! Awesome to see another Edmontonian vlogger!!!! Great stuff! (I love Vinyl too)
Telling me skulls and vinyl aren't neutral decorations. Dang it.
Man, if a home I was viewing had skulls and records I would not hesitate. I'd buy it on the spot!
But that's just me, haha.
Frank
Oh man I would love to have that War and Pain LP. Good thing they are re-releasing it now. Gotta love some canadian speed metal :P
Wow I've never seen a flea market that has records like that before.So huge and organized.Nice T-shirt Btw.
It is very organized. Some stuff is overpriced but it's always an interesting place to visit... Lots of characters at the flea market. You could make a reality show there pretty easily, haha.
Thanks for the shirt comment. Official Channel 33 RPM swag!
Have a great week.
Frank
VillaLobos was an amazing and very unique brazilian composer
The flee market where I live offer a pile of like 30 records, one of top on another. All rigorously bented and super scratched. for huge prices! You are so lucky!
Blue Train is one of the Jazz Records everyone into jazz or just starting out should own. Good haul this week.
Thank you Mark! I've been slowly getting sucked into the word of jazz. I'm proceeding with caution, because it's still new to me, but I'm slowly leaning.

You're fine. Just keep them away from direct sunlight.
Long live LP's and Cassettes
Nice to have the records so well organized at a flea market. Most of the times it's a complete mess, not even alfabetical.

LOL... I have no idea where she got that one from...

Channel 33 RPM wow thats so cool that you replied
I try to respond to as many comments as possible... sometimes I don't get to them all, just because of time.
Thanks for watching!
Frank
Hey Frank I saw Alice Cooper in the bin you were browsing,what's a good album of his to look for? So far I just have his greatest hits LP. Bye the way I see Alice on local car dealership adds here.
Not Frank, but anyway:
Love it to Death
Killer
Schools Out
Billion Dollar Babies (my favorite)
Muscle of Love
Ifyou like his ballads:
Welcome to My Nightmare
Goes to Hell
I cringed so hard during your intro I died and I had to possesse my phone to complain about it
I see we live in a world whereby a guy makes a video of him and his kids going to buy records and then shows them to us, and somebody decides nah fuck this I'm thumbing this down. I mean what the actual fuck is wrong with people?!
The thumbs down don't bother me ... Maybe he thinks kids shouldn't go to flea markets???? Who knows...
Cheers,
Frank
To bad you cant play a sample and give free advertisent! Music imdustry is stupid.
Kids are really cute.. are they adopted ? 😉 lol
They got their mother's looks... :)
