Hi Melinda , I was surprised to see the value of some of these. I will spend some time on my collection trying to discover my own unexpected rarities ! Take Care.
If you have your albums put in Discogs, it is really easy to see what the records are selling for (on Discogs.) The values surprised me too. Take care.
As always , good info from your own travels.Thank you and best wishes for 2021.
Thank you so much! 🤗
Wow!! I love your Jukebox!! The records you showed are wonderful!! I was surprised to know about the value of the records!! Thank you for your video. I will tune in next time. Take Care.🎼🎤🎸🎵🥁
Thank you! I love the juke box too. I will try to do more videos beside it when I can. 🤩
I really enjoyed this video, I love your personal connection to each album that you have. you're not just hoarding albums for the sake of trying to make money down the road you actually love the music and that's awesome. may you and your family continue to have peace throughout 2021 thank you for sharing your music with us Melinda
Thank you Rod! I sure hope we have a great year. It is kinda off to a rough start but we will pull through. Take care.
The Van Halen records are cool, hot and spot-On!!🎼🎤🎸🎵🥁
Thank you! I am so grateful to have them. Take care.
Loving your videos....and love that you play and enjoy the records.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Melinda. It is amazing how valuable some records are. I really like these type videos to see exactly the surprises that you showed. - Chris
I enjoy these types of videos too. I've really learned alot from others who have shown their valuable records. Take care and thank you!
Great video. Can't wait for the next one. I also was expecting your Yesterday and Today album to be number one in your countdown. Pleasantly surprised to see Taylor Swift as your number 1, especially as I have it in my collection too (mine is unnumbered RSD2018 edition). Even though yours is open it will still be very valuable as you have a very low number on it. I like MJ too. Saw him in concert in UK back in 1988. He was awesome live! Cheers, Col.
Oh my goodness the thumbnail for this vid is epic!!!😎👍👍👍Great vid too!!Rock ON!!!
Haha! Thank you! Have a great weekend!
Great top 10 Melinda! You've inspired me to make my own video with my top 10.
Thank you!
Very cool. It should be interesting. 🤗❤️
Poor Barry. I'm still laughing at that one. Love your passion for Eddie Van Halen. Wonderful video Melinda!
Barry is laughing his way to the bank. He was one of my mom's favorite artists therefore, he is really special to me too. 😃 Eddie will always be my favorite. Take care.
Prices have gone totally bonkers on some of those RSD releases! Great video as always Melinda. Take care!
I was very surprised. The black vinyl versions of the Taylor Swift albums are very easy to find. I can't imagine paying over $450 for one just because it is colored and numbered. Crazy times. 😃 Thank you!
the Lennon poster is gorgeous 😍😍😍
Thank you very much!
Great video. I never imagine TS albums could be so valuable.
One of the most valuable albums that I have is a sealed MoFi copy of Pink Floyd's Meddle.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
I've never seen the MoFi of Meddle. That is a rare one for sure! 🤩
A jaw-dropping moment when you presented Barry Manilow LOL! We can all use a good laugh from time to time, especially in these trying times. As always I greatly enjoyed your video. Thank you. Peace
I know you well enough to know that you didn't fall for that one. Haha! I just wanted to have a little fun. My mom loved Barry and had all of his albums. He is a very sentimental favorite for me but his albums aren't worth anything. Take care.
Nice jukebox! Brings back memories!
Thank you! 🤗❤️
I have a stereo pressing of Yesterday and Today on the Apple label, which probably dates from the mid 70's. Gotta love it. Amazing collection!
That's a great Beatles album. ♥️ Thank you and take care.
Great to see you again. I meant to complement you on your German pressing of The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. I have one as well, got it years ago.
Thank you! It is a great sounding record.
Great video Melinda. and nice lps to.
Thank you Curtis! 🤗
Great collection there Melinda. Love the Marvin Gaye box set it looks just superb. I have a number of valuable vinyl issues. I remember buying Paul McCartney Liverpool Oratorio vinyl box set which goes for 200 UK pounds now. I think I brought it for £20!!. I have the Sound and Vision 6 clear vinyl box set by David Bowie. It really is a thing of beauty. I have never played it as its still sealed. I payed less than £25 back in the 90s....its now worth £250!!! or about $300. Barry Manilow? when I was young I would not have entertained the thought of listening to his stuff.....but now whisper it......I do like some of his songs now. Must be getting old!!! Great video Melinda. Keep safe.
Haha! My mom loved Barry Manilow so I love him too and I admit it. 🤗❤️ You have some killer stuff in your collection. Awesome!!!
Hi Melinda. Definitely a cool assortment of records. The Twilight record was cool it definitely brings me back to the Twilight craze in elementary and middle school. Also, currently over here salivating at the T Swift stuff me and my sister jammed out to that back in the day. I remember my sister used to have a huge fearless poster on her bedroom wall. Anyways cool albums and great video! :) - Kate
I loved watching the Twilight movies with my daughter. Great memories. The music on this album is good too. Super Massive Black Hole by Muse is great. Take care.
Sell,sell,sell......ha! I wish you could have seen my face with the Barry record! My first thought was to get up early to go to goodwill we’re I saw one the other day. Great video!
Haha! I caught alot of people off guard with that one. I was just teasing but I do love Barry. My mom had all of his albums so I know his music by heart. I just took some things into the Goodwill and did see a couple Manilow albums there. Lol. Take care.
I really enjoyed this. Keep it up. My most valuable LP is an album by Mike Selesia called Flavor. It was given to me by Mike himself back in the mid 70's. We both were musicians in the Monterey Bay area of California. Some of my musician friends played on this album. From what I understand it was a self-released album, not on any label, and only 100 copies were pressed. I was shocked to see what it is going for on Discogs. I know you are very busy, but if you get some time, look it up on Discogs to see the value. I look forward to your next video. Be safe.
Wow! I looked it up. The price starts at over $700. With only 100 copies pressed, I can understand the price. It is incredibly rare. Who knows how many have survived for this long. That is an incredible story. Wow!!!
Hey Melinda Great Collection !!!!!!
Thank you!
Love your enthusiasm...
Thank you so much!
HI MELINDA GREAT VIDEO ON YOUR 10 EXPENSIVE VINYL RECORDS. ENJOY THEM AND TAKE CARE.
Thank you Bobby! 🤗
Cheers Melinda always a pleasure seeing your videos. I think discogs is a great place for grading your records and I too have just discovered that option not long ago. One of the first albums that i graded was the zombies Odyssey and Oracle. Wow was i surprised at the average price @ $94.00 and I consider my copy to be VG + + last sold in December for $120 and the highest which is probably mint went for $324. How cool is that? Its kinda Neat knowing that our personal record collection has some value to them..... 100s more to grade😏😉👍
That is very cool. They are near impossible to find in decent condition. An original Odessey And Oracle is something I hope to have in my collection someday. Great find and definitely valuable. Take care.
Just did the same video Melinda on Sunday, I used median as well as I don’t enter the condition when I add to discogs so I thought that made sense,. Great Video BTW.
Very cool. I will need to check your video out and sub your channel if I'm not already. Take care.
Wow! I also have that Taylor Swift record from RSD. No idea they are worth that much now! Great video!
Surprise!!! I was stunned that it was my most valuable record. Take good care of it. 🤗
Another great video, Melinda. My top 3 single discs are, 3. Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks MOFI 1 Step, (median price $165), 2. Syd Barrett Madcap Laughs Original UK pressing, ($190) and 1. Jethro Tull, Aqualung, UHQR edition, (212.50). Most expensive box set is The Beatles Mono set that I was fortunate to get at retail on release. I also own both of the Paramount Records box sets from Third Man that have actually decreased in price, but they are my favorite box sets.
You have some cool records. Buying The Beatles Mono box set when it came out was a smart move. 😃 Thank you!
Hi Melinda- loving the jukebox.Wow- i might be tempted to keep Marvin sealed. I like Discogs but am not always convinced at their valuations. Don't have anything too valuable but have some signed albums which were in charity shops ( hard to define though). You are lucky to be able to go shopping for records etc at present. Am looking forward to the time when we can. Stay safe and keep smiling.( Staggered that aTaylor Swift is so pricey).
Discogs is a great tool but definitely not the only way to check for the value of a record. It is basically worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Having autographed albums is very cool. I found one signed by Charlie Daniels one time. That is about it. 🤗 Take care.
Great video so cool!!!!!!!!!!
This was a fun showcase my friend! Omg i traded my Barry Manilow Greatest Hits so when you first showed it before saying just kidding I literally swore out loud, haha! You can’t go wrong with Taylor Swift! Wow, number 14!!
Sorry to cause you a minor heart attack. Lol. I thought people would automatically know that a Barry Manilow record wouldn't be a big ticket item. I do love Barry though. Why would you ever trade that album away? 🤗
Lovin’ the mini-Beatles in the background ;) Fab selections! “It’s been four years, my brain hurts a lot. Four years, that’s all I got”. Oh! And I was spinning some Marvin G. the other day after the political storm that’s been going on. Calmed the nerves, if you know what I mean, beautiful sentiment throughout the album. Bless your heart, you’ve got a treasure trove there :)
It's cool that you noticed The Beatles in the background. 😍 I adore Ziggy Stardust. I do need to open the One Step to determine if the sound warrants the price. I may want to order another one someday. Have a great weekend!
Cool video Melinda!! My 2 most expensive LP's I have is the History album by Michael Jackson an Ace Frehley Anomaly 2 lp set on silver marble vinyl. But I don't regret having them!! Lol😃😂 They're great additions to my collection.
Very nice. I don't have the Ace album but would love to find it. Good for you! 🤗❤️
Love to see the Juke Box again :) and you know I do remember win you got it !!! You sure do have some good $$$ vinyl there . I do like them all but I do like the Marvin Gaye a lot.You know buying vinyl is like buying stock lol great video and to be the glory !!!!
The Marvin Gaye album is really special - so special that I haven't brought myself to open it yet. I will eventually. Lol. Thank you Beatle Brad. Take care.
You know I don't blame you one bit . But you know .. I don't think I would ... I would go and ge the CD of it lol . But that is just me :). All the best to you and your hole family :").
Thanks !!!
I have a stereo copy of Yesterday and Today bought it at EJKorvette's in 1970 for $3.74 when I was 9
It's so cool that you still have it after all of this time. 😍
@@MelindaMurphy I still have all the records I bought as a kid and a teenager hehe
Hi Melinda, you have a great record collection!!
Thank you so much! 🤗
I love this location with the jukebox best. It’s screams out music 🎸🥁🎹
I agree. My husband's office is up there but I would love to make more videos with that background. 😍
Hi Melinda, Great collection ! My most valuable is probably all of the Buddy Holly 45's on Coral, and The Crickets 45's on Brunswick. I'm not sure how much they are worth. I enjoy all of your videos. And also, you are very easy on the eyes. , Dean
Thank you Dean. 🤗 Having 45's of Buddy Holly is extremely cool. I bet they are hard to find. I love those old labels. Have a great week.
Hi Melinda, great video! I was fortunate to pick up the different kind of truth album for far less what it’s going for. Never heard the Balance album. Might have to check it out. You need to play that Marvin Gaye one step if you haven’t already. It’s a masterpiece! The fidelity is incredible! Luckily I have the David Bowie & Eagles Mofi pressings. It’s crazy what they’re going for now. All I know is that my extensive Mofi collection will increase in value over time. Let alone my entire collection. I love your jukebox back drop. You should shoot by it more often😁 take care my friend
Thank you so much! I would love to shoot more videos in the movie room but it is so close to my husband's office that it doesn't usually work out. I will definitely open that Marvin Gaye album some time. It is my first One Step and I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Lol. I love MoFi albums and they are very collectible. Thank you and take care.
Really enjoyed this video. I catalog everything on Discogs, and I find it interesting to check in on the value every now again. Like you, though, I am buying records first and foremost to listen to. If they happen to be valuable, then that is a bonus! Here are my Top 10 as of today:
1. The Beatles - White Album (original 1968 mono pressing with fairly low number)
2. Nina Simone - I Put a Spell on You (1965 original stereo press, which seems to be quite rare)
3. De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising (Vinyl Me Please pressing from 2019 that is now out of print)
4. The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (1971 German pressing that is highly sought after due to its sound quality)
5. The Budos Band - Long in the Tooth (2020 Vinyl Me Please pressing which I think has only sold once on Discogs for an inflated price)
6. The Flaming Lips - American Head (2020 release which came with a signed Wayne Coyne art print)
7. Chris Clark - Soul Sounds (Rare 1967 UK Motown release)
8. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Head On/Pill (Limited edition 12" coloured vinyl from 2020)
9. The Kinks - Face to Face (Rare UK mono original press)
10. Paul McCartney - McCartney III (Red vinyl)
I find it really interesting how my list is a mix of releases from last year and releases from 50+ years ago!
That top 10 also reveals what a wide range of music you like. Very nice! The Nina Simone and Magical Mystery Tour would be incredible finds and the white album - just wow!!! Thank you and take care!
I have a few sealed vinyls too which I plan to listen to one day, so I understand your reasoning regards your Marvin Gaye one step. I'm sure you will have a fantastic listening session when you get around to it. It's amazing the value some albums appear to attain over a short period of time.
Vinyl is hot right now. I wonder how long it will last? I also wonder how much more vinyl will go up in value? At some point, it is going to have to taper off. Take care.
Nice albums Melinda! I know those Van Halen albums mean so much to you! Hope you all are well!
Thank you Marichen. The VH albums are definitely sentimental. Take care.
I’m so addicted to watching you, Mazzy, Spin Me Round Records and True Audiophiles. Consistently great videos. These prices were eye-popping!!! I’m also shocked that The Beatles “Yesterday And Today” wasn’t at the top. I almost fainted seeing Taylor Swift’s “1984” was at the top. My favorite of hers is “Folklore”. I must admit......you fooled me good with Barry Manillow. 😂😂😂😂😂💖💖
I'm so honored to be included as a favorite among other channels of that caliber. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Haha! I thought everyone would automatically know that the Barry album was a joke. He is valuable to me because he was one of my mom's favorite artists. Take care.
@@MelindaMurphy And I thank you for sharing all of us music lovers your knowledge, your awesome collection and extremely sweet personality. So darn cool too. 😎 I was introduced to Barry back in the late 70’s. Many thanks to my aunt Marla (R.I.P.). She had just purchased his record and I decided to play it. The first song.......”This One’s For You”. I was down with him ever since. 💖 You take care now.
@@likeitornotwithmichaellane4896 I never met him but I was fortunate enough to see him on concert. He puts on an excellent show.
@@MelindaMurphy Oh wow!!! I’ve never met or seen him live. 😞
You got me with the Barry Manilow! Haha! Funny story about that Van Halen balance... about 8 years ago I bought a storage unit full of records, most were junk, but I started going through a box that was buried in the bottom, first record I pulled out was a sealed copy of Balance, my heart sank, I pulled the box out and it was full of them. There were about 40 sealed copies. It was insane.
That is insane. The sealed ones are selling on Discogs for $500 right now. Haha! I may have fooled you for a split second but you definitely know the value of Barry Manilow records. Lol.
Awesome albums Melinda! I am super jealous of that Michael Jackson HIStory box. I'd love that. I have two copies of The Beatles Yesterdays and Today as well, but neither are butchers. One is my dad's copy that the cover is really beat up as is the vinyl. The other is a copy I bought to play that is in much better shape. Love that Van Halen get. Crazy how expensive it is now. Great stuff! Rock on Melinda.
Thank you Brian. I was beyond thrilled when I found the Michael Jackson box set. I remember going to Walmart at 6 in the morning to pick up the CD version of it when it came out back in 1995. I still love his music. The VH albums are expensive. I don't normally care for bootlegs but for VH, I am glad we have them. I hope I am able to get the VH 3 on Friday. I bet it goes fast. Take care.
Nice poster on the wall in back of you! I was nearly 16 years old when I had a 20th row orchestra seat for the matinee show (he did a matinee and evening show that day) at Madison Square Garden in Aug. 1972. On the bill with John were Roberta Flack, Stevie Wonder and Sha-Na- Na. I think an orchestra seat was $10. Interestingly, the month before, I saw the Rolling Stones at MSG, and Stevie Wonder opened for them, too. His lead guitarist for both shows was a 17 year old Ray Parker, Jr. who went on play with the band Raydio and eventually had solo hits with "The Other Woman" and "Ghostbusters". Now's how this for a 1972 summer of shows at Madison Square Garden? John Lennon in August. The Rolling Stones in July. Elvis Presley for his first NYC concert appearance in June and a Dion & The Belmonts Reunion at the smaller Felt Forum in May. I didn't get a chance to see Elvis or Dion, though.
Wow! What an incredible story. You saw some heavy hitters and historic shows. The John Lennon show must be a huge highlight for you. The Rollings Stones would be an amazing show. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Van Halen are also my favorite hard rock band. Eddie is missed enormously. I had to thank his son, Wolfgang on Twitter. I found out it was his idea for VH to reunite with David Lee Roth (my favorite era)in 2006. I was fortunate enough to see them in 2015
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen 😞
I'm so glad I got to see them one past time in 2015 as well. He is truly missed. ❤️
Hey Melinda,
Great collections vid.
Great that you actually open & enjoy them.
Although I am envious of your Copy of Marvin Gate " What's going on"
Brilliant Lp from 1972-3 era.
Cannot believe that Taylor " sell out " swift, country > pop are of a higher value according to your listing's than the Marvin gaye Lp??
That's criminal.
As for the V.H LP Diff kind of truth.
I do not own the vinyl but I picked up the LTD EDT DBL disc cd and dvd pack, cheap.
Cheers
Kim🙂👋
Melb,Aust
Love all of those records U show us
Thank you so much! 😃❤️
Hi Melinda. You have some very nice Mofis and some wonderful Van Halen albums. You are right. I am shocked. Take care. --Randy
Thank you very much! 🤗
Love the Bowie album. One of my favorites I had on 8 track tape in the 70s. Van Halen Balance is a good album too which I have on cd. I have red speak now and fearless on cd. Enjoy your weekend
It was wise of you to pick up the Van Halen albums on cd. They are getting harder to find. I love Ziggy Stardust. The 8 tracks were so cool. Such a great reminder of the 70's. Take care.
Great vid melinda
Thank you!
Very interesting, thanks!
Thank you! 🤗
I guess my most valuable would be the 5 or 6 Zeppelins I got on Classic Records upon release/an original Mad Season/Floyd Echoes box/A. Cooper- Pretties for You on Straight and a complete school's out with all the outrageousness included.i really need to check the value of my collection 👍 it's been quite a while.loved your vid as always 🤘
Yes, your Classic Led Zeppelin albums are worth some serious money. 😮😮😮 The Alice Cooper is a cool one too. You have done very well. 🤗❤️
Hey Melinda. Can I make a suggestion for a video? Would you consider doing a “ranking” video of your favourite Van Halen albums? I thought about this, when you mentioned that “Balance” was your favourite. Van Halen is o r of my top favourite bands! I’d say that “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” is my favourite Sammy album. I’m a long time sub of your channel. Always enjoy the content. You have a really sweet disposition. Keep up the great work!
That is a great suggestion and I am seriously considering doing an extra video one week with my rankings. Thank you for the suggestion. I hope to make a video soon.
Doesn't matter how expensive, records are meant to be played and loved. Agreed.
This is true! ❤️🤗
Whoa, you completely had me fooled with Barry Manilow! Love that jukebox.
Lol. I didn't think anybody would fall for my corny joke. 😃 Thank you. I love the jukebox.
Melinda very cool top ten my mouth dropped i bought my wife that Twilight SDTK vinyl back at a used store never that that album was worth that much. Very nice Van Halen Balance never seent that one before . Marvin Gaye One Step i still regret not getting that One Step awesome collection Melinda take care. Lovell Andrew
Hey there! I'm not sure why Twilight is so valuable. I'm guessing the amount of vinyl pressed was very limited. I'm happy for all of us. 😍 The Marvin Gaye One Step is the only one I have so far. I probably should open it and give it a listen before I order any more of them. Thank you and take care.
@@MelindaMurphy you should listen to it they sound amazing I have Stevie a ray Vaughan Texas Flood one the best sounding records in my collection 👍
When you open that Marvin Gaye onestep you’re in for a treat. It’s one of the best sounding albums I own, the bass is just insane.
I will have to open it soon. I'm curious about how it will sound. 🤗
Always enjoy your videos. I bought McCartney III as well as Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto. I would have loved to get the orange vinyl, but it was out of my budget.
The Getz/ Gilberto album sounds wonderful on standard black vinyl. The orange would have been pretty but the black vinyl is a classic, just like the album. Nice pick ups.
@@MelindaMurphy Thanks. I also got the Beatles Love album for Christmas. Nice compilation. I am impressed by the value of some of your records. And when you pulled out the Manilow, I was hysterical. I have a number of his albums, including his Live album that I purchased in Okinawa in 1977. Japanese liner notes and all.
Nice tease on Barry. My favorite anyway from his is 'Copacabana' and have still 45 single. I like it as the issue they were cool enough for a short version and a long version. Nice thinking Arista did for that back when. Also my dad loved the song and had it. Most prized pricey area falls in Beatles and Stones collections. One album may fall and fetch a $1000 in near good condition on the Beatles side. Keep folks on suspense for now. Nice to see new video.
Thank you. I meant so disrespect to Barry. My mom loved him and I know every album he made. ❤️ The Beatles will always be collectible. The Stones have a box set that is pretty valuable too. Take care.
Some incredible heavy hitters there Melinda. I keep saying one day I will own a butcher cover, but I am not in any rush. But at that price, wow. Swiftie fans are obsessed so those holding high value doesn't shock me as much. I haven't spent 3 figures on one album yet, way too many other things I need to add to the collection first :) take care Melinda. Hope all are well there.
This will be the year of less expensive jazz albums - but alot of them. Lol. The Taylor Swift albums shock me. Can the young ones afford to pay that much for records? I spent less on tires for my car back then. Haha! I'm showing my age. Take care Tim!
You know it is fun to collect vinyl . And you know I had no idea that the vinyl would have gone up so hi lol !!! It is like buying stock now and the value dose go up and down at times !!!!! Have fun with it all and you know lol I did like your joke at the end too lol !!!!! I think it is wild the most $$$ one in your collection who new right lol !!!! I do have some $$$ Beatles and Pink Floyd and Moody Blues and some Albums are cool I got the Artist to sine it for me :). And several others This was a great video and a fun one too :). Take care !!!!!
You could do an amazing video showing your most valuable records. I can't imagine how many wonderful autographs and special albums you must have. 😍 Take care.
That is a thought :"-) !!!
Thanks for your video 😊 My most valuable record is an unofficial live AC/DC, ''Back in Business''. Only 50 pressings of the orange vinyl that I have. It was sold for 719 USD on Popsike, mine is in NM condition. I bought it new back in 1987 and only played it once 😃👍😃
Wow! That is a crazy price! Nice! 😮😮😮
Ziggy Stardust my favourite Bowie album I’m very envious of your fidelity copy jukebox looks great
Thank you so much! Ziggy is one of my favorites as well. ❤️
love your Beatles figures behind you I have the Knucklebronz queen figure set on pre order
That'll be very cool!
Hey Melinda! Some expensive records you got there. Really great you were able to pick up A Different Kind Of Truth even though it was expensive. I would imagine VH vinyl prices will be growing especially for the OG and Master Recordings.
I still get sad thinking of all the great artists we have lost the past couple years. Tom Petty and Eddie Van Halen were big ones for me.
I am not too surprised about the Kiss album selling for such a high price. Die hard Kiss fans are crazy lol
I am surprised with the Swift records being so expensive but I guess she is a big deal these days. I would think for an artist being still in her prime and still alive that her records would be at an average cost. Would be interesting to see what they are worth 10 or 20 years from now.
Your jukebox is looking nice. Looks like a jukebox from the 90's
Have a great day
Until there are some reissues, the VH albums are going to stay expensive. I'm glad I already have them. You did help me buy A Different Kind of Truth with a gift card I received from you. 🤗
I still miss Petty but the loss of Eddie really hurts. I'm so sad that he isn't here to see his son get married or see his son with his own band.
I'm shocked about the Swift records and I'm not that attached to them. I may sell them at some point. I think as her career cools down so will the price of these records. I think the jukebox was made in '69 but is considered a 1970 model. Take care.
Enjoyed the video - nice seeing a soundtrack featured would be great if you did a future video focusing on soundtracks you like in your collection. Thumbs up to the Taylor Swift Record Store Day colored vinyl editions love colored vinyl. Was checking out on TH-cam video today on a collector called Allessandro Benedetti from Italy who has the largest collection of Coloured vinyl in the world.
I love colored vinyl as well. I don't have very many cool soundtracks but that would be an interesting video. The guy from Italy sounds fascinating. Take care.
I am a new subscriber and very helpful your channel for my collection, I am also collector from Korea, I have around 5000lps and have been collecting more than 30 years... a very nice meet you!!!
Very nice to meet you. You have a great collection and it is cool that you have enjoyed this hobby for 30 + years. 😍
Great records, and you have a fortune over there!
Thank you so much! 🤗
great collection i also have the david bowie record,thankyou for sharing
i agree with you ,LPs should only be bought for listening, not for collecting reasons.
I don't think vinyl is a good investment but I am definitely guilty of buying multiple copies of the same album to have in my collection. I do try to listen to most of them. Take care.
Happy New Year Melinda. I think you can bank on the value of the Beatles albums for generations to come, Taylor Swift I not too sure of.
I agree about Taylor Swift. I'm not sure her albums will stay valuable.
That Master recording of Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust is beautiful!!!
Thank you so much! 🤗
It is soo cool to see such nice lady that is in to records 😊
Thank you so much!
Definitely agree with Van Halen. I need to pick it up. They were part of my younger years, both LPs are incrrdible pick ups
Thank you. The Van Halen albums are very special to me. They are also really good.😍 Take care.
Hi Melinda, this is a great idea for a video. I'm sure that all of us ask ourselves what our most valuable albums are now worth. If you paid a pretty penny for some of them, then you already know which ones should bring a higher price. I would have never thought those Taylor Swift albums would be worth that much, but she is very popular, and I shouldn't be too surprised. There are many vinyl albums that I have that are worth something, too many to go into here. Some are cherished because they are original issues I bought in record stores from places like Tower Records back when they were first released. I really love my NM first issue Japanese pressing of Pink Floyd The Wall with its OBI; it sounds fabulous and is the best for detailed sounds on that album. 👍👍👍👍👍 Quite frankly, all of my many pressings of PF The Wall are special to me. Another album from the classic era that is an absolute favorite is my NM Vertigo first UK pressing of Black Sabbath's Paranoid album; the sound just floors me every time I hear it, just killer! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Now for something quite new and very, very special to me from Larkin Poe. I have a vinyl copy of their Grammy nominated album Venom & Faith that was personally autographed by Rebecca & Megan Lovell in my presence when I met them after their wonderful live show at the Monterey Jazz Festival in the Fall of 2019. I asked them to sign with two different colored pens I brought with me for each of them, and they were kind enough to indulge me. There is a special reason why I asked them to sign in the different colors, and very few people know why. There's actually a cool story to go with this, but it's too long to go into here. I got to talk to Rebecca & Megan for a while, and I got a photo standing with them while I was holding the signed album. I would say this autographed Larkin Poe Venom & Faith vinyl album is my most cherished album, because it brings back such wonderful memories of meeting them and seeing them perform a killer live set. It doesn't get any better than this for a vinyl records fan! 💖💖💖💖💖
What a cool story. I love autographed album covers. Unfortunately, I have very few of them. It's wonderful that you got to see them perform and meet them.
I'm sure you probably have the most incredible Pink Floyd collection. 😮
There are plenty of black vinyl Taylor Swift albums out there. Her albums aren't rare so I am so surprised that those albums are so expensive. The Van Halen and Beatles albums are the most cherished for me. Take care.
@@MelindaMurphy Yes, the Larkin Poe show and signing was an unforgettable experience! 😍 My PF collection isn't huge by PF collector standards, but I have some very nice stuff as you've already heard. Since PF The Wall is my favorite rock album of all time, I like to focus on it the most. The only thing I'm really missing is the Columbia Half Speed Master. I've heard mixed things about that album. Some say the pressing is fabulous and others say its terrible. What seems to be pretty unanimous is that the early UK and Japanese pressings are the best. The Doug Sax TML (in the Matrix number) pressings are very nice, full and bright. I haven't really explored Taylor Swift; I'll have to check her out just to see what the fuss is all about. Van Halen and The Beatles, now those are two bands to really enjoy and love. If I had to pick between the two, it would be Van Halen, just for Eddie's incredible musicianship and his innovations. Van Halen is not my favorite rock band of all time, but they're in the upper region of my top ten favorite rock bands. 👍👍👍👍👍 Take care and be safe, vinyl sister. 👍💖🎸😎
I bought a couple hundred records from a friend who's house burnt down, the only things that survived the fire was the records that he got from his dad who found them in the trash one day in the 80s, one of the records in that lot is Alice Cooper School's Out without the song tracks on the back of the record jacket desk that can fold out, i heard its worth up to $500.
Oh wow! I don't know all of the variations on that album but albums that are complete are expensive. Very nice!!!
You got me, I started to dig for my Barry Manilow (that album brings back so many great memories).
Haha. My mom loved Barry and had all of his albums. I love him too. ❤️🤗
I have that manilow as a picture disc still sealed. Got it for free. I thought no way that can be worth anything lol
Out of those 10 albums you showed I have one of them unsealed. Won the Michael Jackson History 3 record set back in 1993 but never got around to opening it less playing it. I guess it must be worth something. Haven't looked at the jacket in years. It is stored with all of my other records, most of which are played.... I think only this one and an original Heart Dreamboat Annie album on Mushroom are the only unopened ones in my inventory.
That box set still sealed would go for quite a bit of money. They was a nice prize. 🤗 Take care.
Hi Melinda. You definitely picked up some great stuff. Especially both Beatles butcher covers. Would definitely add that to my collection. Your video inspired me to look up prices of my KISS vinyl collection alone. Some of their albums are fetching quite a lot of dinero. These are some of the ones I have
Kiss - alive 2 misprint with all inserts 700.00
Kiss originals 2 with all inserts 374.00
Kiss - greatest kiss vinyl 600.00
Kiss - first kiss last licks promo lp - 375.00
Kiss - sonic boom (purple) 700.00
Kiss - the originals white label promo with all inserts
300.00
Kiss - white label 1st album - 450.00
Kiss - let’s put the x in sex 12” remix 250.00
Some have even gone higher than the prices I’ve listed. I have been thinking of using discogs as a database for everything that I have but for right now I use an excel spreadsheet. I have it all separated between cd, lp, 45 rpm singles, dvd and vhs. Take care. Keep enjoying the tunes.
Oh wow!!! I'm dying here. I love Kiss. White label first album??? Get out of here!!! In all seriousness, congrats on such hard to get records.
@@MelindaMurphy thank you. The white label one is quite hard to find. I’ve been collecting KISS lps for over 20 years now. And have been a major fan for almost 40 years. 😀👍🏻now if I could just find a copy of dynasty where you can see the straight jackets that Paul and gene are wearing. The hunt continues lol.
Very cool video thank you for sharing lucky lucky person 2 have 2 copies of the butcher cover.
It was a very lucky break. One copy was from a record store and the other was an antique store. Take care.
I'm surprised you didn't show your Bob Ludwig Zeppelin II's. Well, not as surprised as Barry popping up. I don't actively look for high valued lps but I have a ton of them anyway. My favorite purchase ever was the Beatles' Let it Be boxset (mint). I acquired it from an acquaintance of mine who had become a born again Christian. I traded an Amy Grant album, which at the time was about $8 new (I had to purchase it), straight up. It was like a "miracle".
Haha! You did good on that trade. Those box sets are pretty sweet. None of my Led Zeppelin albums made my top 10 but they are probably in my top 20. I don't buy albums thinking about future values either, but it is cool when it happens. Take care.
Hahaha Melinda , you got me good ! My first thought was : ”is it some kind of ultra-rare , über-special pressing?”. Then you lost your pokerface , hahaha. Cool albums btw. Stay safe and take care. /R (A at work).
I tricked you for a minute. Lol. I didn't think anyone was going to fall for that. I do like Barry. Stay safe and thank you. 😃
I have a lot of Barry Manilow too! lol! Love the Van Halen. I think in the future we will see reissues of their work with Sammy Hagar and probably their last Studio album. There was also a live album released on vinyl from the tour 7 or years ago. I never got a chance to get it.
I have the live album. It isn't DLR's finest vocals but it is Van Halen so I had to have it. We must get some reissues and I hope they get the deluxe treatment. Eddie and the band deserve the royal treatment. Take care.
I have McCartney III yellow vinyl which lists $174 on Amazon. For pure enjoyment of his music, got to say, David Bowie is such a favorite of mine. Used to rock my daughter to sleep with Diamond Dogs when she was little. Only time I saw Bowie was with Tin Machine in the 90s. Jump takes me back to the 80s. Young Americans to the 70s. Much thanks.
I never got to see Bowie. I'm glad you had the opportunity. Your daughter will have sweet memories of Diamond Dogs. ❤️ Take care.
...and the scary thing is...if you let me come over and pick the 5 things I want out of your collection, you didn't even show them here lol!!! Amazing collection!!!!
Haha! The Van Halen ones are definitely ones for me. The Eagles album too. The Taylor Swift stuff ok but not my favorite. Thank you!
@@MelindaMurphy I still drool over that bad company :)
@@mrhoffame thank you. You have many drool worthy vinyl in your collection too.
Beatles' s butcher very very rare, very lucky douce Melinda
Thank you so much!
@@MelindaMurphy A paste over 2nd state for $30? Nice eye, spotting Ringo's neckline.
Aloha Melinda,
As always another awesome video, you have some really valuable vinyl. A friend of mine about 10 years ago is a dumpster diver, and he found about 9 record albums and one of them was a butcher cover I told him to put it on eBay and he got little over a thousand for it. When you were getting to number one I was thinking for sure it's going to be Led Zeppelin lV promo copy, when I saw Taylor Swift I was shocked. , not that she's not worth it but I thought Led ZeppelinlV promo copy would go for a lot of cash, great to see your collection of most valuable finds as far as price goes. Thank you again for sharing such a wonderful video. I don't have record albums of high value to my knowledge, I have posted some of my records on Instagram then maybe one day I will post on TH-cam most likely next year if anything. I've been freezing here in Hawaii it hit 72 degrees this morning at 7 a.m.
Mahalo Ed freezing in Hawaii
I feel so sorry for you having to deal with such rough weather. 😊 I have been to Hawaii a few times and it is so beautiful. The Led Zeppelin promo is in the top 20 albums in my collection but surprisingly, Taylor Swift is on top. Lol. Is the vinyl selection in Hawaii good?
@@MelindaMurphy sad to say the vinyl collection in Hawaii at the stores ain't that great, unless a true collector decides to sell, I heard someone on the big island purchase a huge collection and also someone on the island of Maui
@@bigedhaaheo that is probably the only negative about being in Hawaii. 🤗
Beatles record has gone down in price hmmmmmm and Tay Tay has gone up hmmm how times change :) Glad I found this Vid I have subsrcibed and Hello From Vancouver Canada
Thank you very much. I still believe a Beatles second state butcher in excellent condition sells better than a Taylor Swift album. The Beatles will always be loved. ❤️
@@MelindaMurphy look forward to more vids
Great video. Now I'm on the lookout! I have lost most of my collection, I'm slowly bringing my collection back....I buy to listen too!
Have fun rebuilding your collection. I enjoy it very much. 🤗
Isn't it funny how a record that is just a few years old can be worth so much. All those classic records and Taylor wins out. What a strange world record collecting can be. My most valuable is a Jack White 45. A 45!?!?! Great video, Melinda. Thanks for sharing.
TB
A modern 45 is the most valuable? Seems unreal doesn't it. Anything associated with Jack white is money. $$$ Have a great weekend.
@@MelindaMurphy Jack is really interesting for record people. You probably know that he has been using a modified EVH guitar lately. He played it on his recent SNL appearance (it was the week Edward passed and he played a little nod to him during his performance). Crazy stuff. Take care...

Hello Melinda; The position you made according to "Discogs is correct". This company/org. is a data base for records. We will reserve our feelings on that. How much a record is worth is determined thru consumer response. We agree with the LP picks, as they are your favorites. Many in the vinyl community should be able to find at least ten LP's (hopefully) that they feel, or actually are valuable. Nice jukebox, like the Lennon One to One poster. This video would make a good informational thread video. Take care. Tina & Pat!~
Thank you so much! I have seen other people make similar videos. That is what made me look into my collection. I also realize that Discogs is just a tool to see what may be valuable in a collection. There are other ways to determine value that may be more accurate. I also think that sellers are often greedy on Discogs. I have bought a few hard to get records that way so I am thankful to have the option.
I do love my jukebox. My nephew was getting rid of the Lennon poster and offered it to me. I'm am so glad he did. Have a great week.
Nice! My most valuable item is the Prince SOTT Singles Box Set released in 2020. Do you have any Prince in your collection?
I have alot of Prince albums. A Graffiti Bridge original is probably the most unusual one but I have some originals as well as cool reissues. He was amazing. Thank you and take care.
Hi Melinda-Interesting video. I'm fortunate to have the Butcher Cover, 2nd state,stereo, ex+. I got it for a $1 at a second hand store. Yeah, I guess I got a deal. Take care.
Wow! That is the deal of a lifetime. The stereo copies are so hard to find. Way to go!!!🤩
How long ago was that? Even in the 1970's, the prices for it at Beatlefests in the dealers room were astronomical.
You had me at Barry Manilow ;) The Taylor Swift was a bit of a surprise but not a surprise. I guess her fan base is so big, it's driven up the value of her records. I'll have to concede, I have a couple of her albums (CDs) because my daughter loves her. She loves singing the song, 'Shake It Out.' One of these days, my Twilight time is going to come but I am going to try and put it off as much as possible.
Haha! I have watched Twilight enough for both of us. It wouldn't have been a slumber party for my daughter without Twilight. I look back on it fondly.
I surprised several people when I showed my Barry album. You knew better. He sure did sell alot of albums though. Have a great weekend.
Those are really cool records that you have in your collection. I play all of my records in my collection as well. I have The Eagles Hotel California in my collection. My favorite Van Halen album with Sammy Hagar is 5150 and Dreams is my favorite song on that album. My 3 favorite Genesis records are Selling England By The Pound, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, and Seconds Out, which is a live album of Genesis. My favorite Fleetwood Mac record is Rumours. As for these albums, I these records have monetary value, but because I play my albums and not just collect them, my record collection, holds more of a sentimental value to me. So, I've never researched how much monetary value my record collection has.
The song Dreams is one of my favorites off of 5150 too. What a classic 80's album. I loved seeing which albums are worth the most but I don't believe vinyl is a good investment. They are for listening to and enjoying. Take care.
@@MelindaMurphy Thank you for your reply. It's really great that you have the same passion for vinyl records that I do. I bought some records at my local Walmart store and I bought 2 Beatles records that are imports-- Revolver from Germany and Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band from France. I couldn't pass those up. Imports have a great sound quality. I listened to them both yesterday and again earlier today. Sweet! Take care!
@@alanlough638 I agree. Imports are usually excellent.
Why would anyone have a still sealed copy of Hotel California? Happy to say mine's been played thousands of times - no amount of money can compete with the sound of great music. I'm glad you play your albums 💖
Some people like to collect records and not necessarily play the more valuable ones. I guess it's the same thinking as someone leaving a toy in it's box or keeping a stamp and not using it. I do enjoy playing my records. Thank you and take care.
I have that Taylor Swift RSD too. I cannot believe its up to $1000!
I recently traded my copy for some hard to get jazz albums. The price of this record is insane. I'm still trying to figure it out. Take care.
