Punk was another music genre which never abandoned vinyl in the 90s and 2000s
Best time for me was the early 90s when everybody dumped their vinyl. I still have records with the price stickers left. All albums one dollar including sabbath on vertigo.
Absolutely, I would go to flea markets paying $20 to $40 for multiple boxes and bins of amazing records
Yup. Everything was available, everything was cheap. Stuff I was buying for 50 cents to a dollar now goes for upwards of 20-30 dollars, maybe more. If you wanted something that was near mint it might run you 5 to 10 bucks depending on the record. My old beat up copies sound better than most any of those reissues.
Ha! I was just about to post the same thing.
Not just for the used market but new as well. Back then average prices were $7.99-$9.99, new. In 93 I hit the ground running. Tons of grails are in my collection, bought for the above prices. Like Tool Aenema, Nirvana Never Mind for $10 used OG press. Or even unexpected pressings like Filter Short Bus. In fact nobody knew if a certain release will come out on vinyl or not. The excitement of the hunt. As a result I have hundreds of 90s releases all OG.
I started in 1979, as a child. My collection is a reflection of all the different phases and styles I started to appreciate over the decades. Some 8k records later, owning my own store in the 1990s, it’s all about the love for the media itself. Glad to see the next generations to keep something going, that I learned to love in the late 1970s. Mem
Hi ,I m George, I really like your channel.
Black Spirit were actually Italians working in Germany.
I can look at the 90s and feel envy. However, there's a great feeling of satisfaction in finding a rare expensive record today and having it in your collection. My latest very rare record in my collection is the original press of the debut by Danish band Culpeper's Orchard.
You got me with the Modem handshake tones. Thought my IPad was having a stroke….🤣
The best time was the nineties, when no one wanted records except a small number of collectors
Hi, here in Brazil eighties were the best time to buy records, 8 USD Brazilian brand new ones, 16 USD imported ones, especially Americans, even small towns had fair vinyl stores.
For me, I needed a hobby after semi retirement. I would seek out these little thrift stores and resellers in the small towns that you spoke of, and I would find some amazing albums. The thrill of the find is such an adrenaline rush. For example, last week somebody had dumped a large amount of The Guess Who albums at the Goodwill store in Maine. They were very close to collector quality and sounded awesome. It definitely gets me up every morning.
It’s always the best time to be a record collector 😎
Honestly one of the best reasons to be a collector now is the amount of high quality reissues that are out there now from companies like Blue Note and Acoustic Sounds for jazz and even more recently Noble branching out to get hard to find albums to the masses.
Even in the 90s that wasn't a thing.

Seriously you compare the releases from Guerssen or Noble (all the releases are vinyl source and covers copy transfer from OG covers ) with the blue note or Acoustic Sound? Are you serious?
@javieryaguez4582 Yes I do because of rarity. John Coltrane A Love Supreme for example..A nice first press starts at 250.00 . Acoustic Sounds puts out a really nice reissue at 35.00. It gives new collectors a chance. And with respect the reissues you mention the fact they exist is big for the VC community. UNDERGROUND FIRE for example is like a 2k album as an og
To me the best thing is still the record shows. That's where I get the best deals and there's the social aspect of talking to the dealers and other vinyl enthusiasts. I could spend all day flipping through bins and talking about records.
I just got Wish You Were Here on 180gms vinyl it sounds amazing
Another awesome video! I'd love to see you show some of your blues albums! When I started collecting vinyl, I didn't have any local friends that collected, but when I started my channel and now I've got friends all over the world. It really does bring people together and share the music we love. Hope all is well. Best, Steve
Dillon, Dillon, Dillon... Dearest Dillon! 20 years ago was a golden age for techno and house record stores, AND vinyl releases! In big cities, you would have at lesst a dozen shops specialized in that, only selling new releases, with two new arrival days a week, which was like going to a big church with not enough seats. I understand why you would overlook that, but, damn! Love you, just thought some ball breaking was in order ;-) Experimental music was pretty good as well when it came to vinyl. Almost everything truely indie also always existed on wax. Love all your points, and let's do a library video sometime ^^ Bisou
Back in the 80s when I started there were more record stores in town until Bestbuy and Circuit City came to town 😂
I miss the finds from yardsales, flea markets, goodwill,... I still look, but never see much of anything. Goodwill usually ships the good stuff to Corp for auctions. Others see Ebay and ask a fortune. Even just 6 years ago it was ok.
Oooh, that's a rad new intro! I must admit, though, I was afraid it may have replaced 'Hey guys, it's Dillon from Noble Records coming at ya with another video'. Phew.
The Billy strings live is very good
Hi Dillon. Really enjoyed this video and have to say I found it a lot more persuasive than your previous ‘Things aren’t as good as they used to be’ video. I think the points around reissues, availability, Discogs and so on can be summarised as follows: ‘There are no rare records any more. Only expensive records’. Some people seem to have a real problem with this (witness the ‘response’ videos on TH-cam to your last video). But quite honestly I find it perverse to complain that records (even obscure ones) are now too easy to find, or to complain that one buys too many records due to a failure to control one’s purchasing urges. That surely has something to do with human nature - objectively it has to be a good thing that if you want to buy a record, you can find it easily online in a global marketplace. That said - I was at a record fair on Saturday. On my way out, literally by the exit door was a cardboard box of unloved records, £2 each. The record at the front was a beautiful original 1961 pressing of Dion’s ‘Runaround Sue’. Grabbed it for a couple of quid, got it home, cleaned it, span it. Gorgeous record. Wall to wall sumptuous doo wop crossed with early rock’n’roll. It’s a keeper. Oh, and the going rate on EBay for these seems to be £50-£80. It’s true, you just can’t beat finding a bargain in the wild! Greetings from London.
My real wantlist almost exclusively consists of records that have no copies available online anywhere, at any price. So Yes, there are tons of rare records
Dillon, I would love to see a video talking about those Christian hard rock albums you were talking about
in melbourne there is probably 100 record shops, i have about six in my suburb, lol its great i love it.
I had been feeling burned out collecting records lately. This weekend, I found a Horace Silver Doing the Thing, first mono, VG, for $6; after that I found a decent play copy of Electric Ladyland, again first press on the two-tone label, for $2. I bought and returned a copy of Ladyland a couple months back for $25, that skipped. Today I find one that cleaned up nicely for $2.
Hey Dillion! Great video. Thanks for doing what you're doing. Cheers
What he's doing, Videos to promote his store and his releases masket in a video where he suppose to speak about something else
This made me feel better!
Damn son!! Them early internet sounds woke me right up with these headphones 😂🤘 many thanks as always. Edit: Sabbath with poster holy cow!
More record stores than the 90’s. We had tons of record stores until Napster started up. Most of the sales were cd’s but records were definitely still there.
Rez Band FTW!!! Still have some on cassette but no vinyl yet.
in 1981 you could snap up banana sticker Velvet Undergrounds for 10-20 bucks... same with Beatles numbered white albums... one record show my buddy bought 18 bananas and 23 white albums.... and he probably never spent more than 150$ total....
I have to disagree with you about quality control. Almost all new records I buy from my local shop are warped some pretty severely. It was so bad I bought a record pi so I could flattened them somewhat to actually play them. On the other hand I do agree with you about your releases. I’ve probably bought ten of your releases and all but one were perfect. And the one that wasn’t you took care of the problem immediately without a problem. I appreciated that.
Whether you like it or not Dylan you are a trendsetter in this VC universe, you started this thread and it’s become a thing, not a bad discussion to have in my opinion
got a "Heart" record at a garage sale for $2.00 and it was like new
$75 is what I dropped on a pristine promo copy of Tim Buckley's Starsailor LP after stalking it for several months on Ebay. Seller's original price was twice that. Cleanest timing strip I've ever seen. Zero jock scribbles.
15:28 "I'm not talking about Diddy...." killed me XD
look i love the new albums the vinyl but you just cant beat the old smell crakle of the older vinyl.
its like something was captured on camera. but it was caught in the frequency vibration sound
when it was created. its the energy..great video. im hooked since i was 14 im now 48. you
know that hooke..plus its great you can great lost bands now on new vinyl,
The only thing I find disturbing is the current price of collecting vinyl Even the prices of beat up vinyl is higher than ever nowadays The owners of used records stores have really raised prices for albums that aren’t rare or original hard to get So collecting even used records gets more expensive
I think it's fun. i started about ten years ago.
...whoa!!!...theme tuuuuunnnneeee...(gave me a fright!).....
Reissues allow me to own and listen to vinyl I’d NEVER own bc of their OG pressing values and you can buy limited editions and they start to become collectible in their own right if they’re a pressing and color folks want. That said, there are a lot of reissues that are higher priced than VG+ condition OG pressings of many artists. In those cases I’d rather get the old pressings even if there’s some surface noise 🤷🏼♂️
Unless you are rich, buying records from a shop is the same as buying antiques, they know the market, you’re paying premium. Hit the yard and estate sales.
Word. Thrifts for life. I have spent more than $5 for a record once in maybe 5 yrs. I love the store owners but I'm def not the collector keeping them in business
Hit or miss with thrift stores and antique stores ..I have found many very cheap at different ones... Recently found a 1970 original Black Sabbath green WB label near mint for 20 usd
Try digging deeper. In my opinion is still fun and value to be had in looking for the great records that the record community as a whole has undervalued. Even in stores and online.
@tomshaner3553 what also doesn't help is, while most collectors think they have a broad taste in music because they have a dolly Parton record and a miles davis record, they really don't. Expanding taste isn't something everyone can do, but if you can, you won't be flipping past all the classical, Bluegrass, and ethnic anymore
Yeah but you can only find Herb Alpert records on yard sales for the most part
Horse reissue- let’s go!!!
Plus, I'd decide to get some OJCs (which sound great to me), but they are gone and replaced with more audio file versions for 2x price. Now, OJC are starting to come back with prices approaching audiofile ones Thing is, I do still buy and go dig, just a little less rewarding.
Go morrow mountain! Love the place. Hey I got a question for you that has nothing to do with this video. I bought a couple of t shirts from you and never wore them. Now he cones the favor. I lost a lot of weight and need smaller sizes so I can wear them. Would you let me trade them back in for the right size for me now? Thanks
I have the deluxe edition of Shinedown's Sound of Madnnes there platinum album. They only released 500 worldwide. I found it for 200 on discogs years ago. Last time I looked it goes for 800 and not available in USA. I never opened it should I open it to make sure it isn't warped?
In the seventies we had 4 recordstores in my city and nowadays 0 .(100.000 pop.)
Best time to be a collector but not as fun as it used to be. Content Creators are not creating content. They are down to a couple of videos a week and the rest are shorts. We are seeing the wanna be collectors dropping out like flies now. 53 years as a Collector/Listener and I'll still be going 10 years from now.
I’ll always collect as well. I’m not really concerned with “creating content”
But sharing records I like. I was in it before they started calling it “content”
20-25 years ago was the best time to be a record collector. Stuff was cheap!!!
Like the intro
Thanks!
yeah.. that other video did set off a slew of other video's about the bad state of the record collecting hobby.. i for one glad people are jumping ship.. it's allowing me to acquire things that previously were hard to get and i see prices getting lower.. except that damn OG Fraction!!!!
Bahahaha I’ll let you know next time I see one!
I’ve had a fairly bad experience buying records in record shops as opposed to eBay. eBay sellers that say they listen rate their vinyl and their seller rating depends on selling what they describe sell better quality vinyl than my local record store.
Well, in 2024 you have both options. Also, can’t you check the condition at the shops?
I’d rather pay more at a local shop where I can inspect the record myself , and actually get to listen to it in the store. With eBay, 75% of the time they’re going to ship in those cheap square mailers, and it’s going to be damaged and it takes weeks to get your money back.
hey Dillon what’s the music at the start?
That’s Underground Fire! The first record on our label!
SUCH A killer first release. The quality is fire 🎉@@noblerecords
@@noblerecords oh sweet
Now is the worst time to be a collector. Prices too high. 90s was the best time when I just knew the records would be collectables. 90s was the time. The time to collect and prove the doubters wrong
How do I listen to Homer if I think I might be interested in purchasing it?
Its on TH-cam
I had a VPI. Then I bought an ultrasonic. There is no substitute. I sold the VPI.
🤣 absolutely
Thinking of selling my records. Would you recommend selling them individually on eBay or to a record store?
You get a lot less than wholesale price If you sell it to record store!
thanks for advice 👍🏻
Well it depends, some record stores are very fair, but they have to make money obviously. But selling to a record store is contributing to the community. If you have the time and patience, selling on ebay will obviously earn more but you lose close to 20% in fees and taxes.
Selling the best ten percent individually, then the rest as a job lot to a store
Appreciate the advice. Ty 👍🏻
I agree the best time is now, a certain demographic is dying off and leaving killer record collections.
No they're giving it to their family members so you're not getting anything haha.
Now if only Tool would reissue Aenima 😆
