1:41- Dick Sinclair was the host of "POLKA PARADE", a local Los Angeles program (sponsored by Farmer John's meats and provisions) that was also syndicated in the Midwest (with Tidy House cleaning and detergent products as a sponsor). The "POLKA PARADE" band was also featured on that 1961 album.
8:57- The original 1966 pressing of "One Stormy Night" was on Philips PHM 200-205 (mono)/PHS 600-605 (stereo). The Warner Bros. pressing is a 1972 reissue.
11:52- that's actually a 1951 LP reissue of a 1944 Sonora 78 album set [MS-466]. The cover was issued in at least TWO different colors {green is another color}.
Hey Mike.......It's interesting that your "Mom"was in "MY FAIR LADY"coincidently, my grandma was in "THE MUSIC MAN" as an extra! & then when "BEWITCHED" came out, she was a permanent as "AGNES MOORHEAD's" (stand-in) ......My grand-ma had me go thru her piano-bench seat back in 1978, to give me some sheet music,etc. & I found an 8X12 (horizontal promo) picture of a black & white,back drop,shot of the BEWITCHED cast... taken in "Darren's office...(which she gave me)...picture including "ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY,DICK YORK,AGNES MOORHEAD, SOL SAKS & my "Grand-ma "Birdie Amerin" wearing a white fur coat (LOL!!!) (she put that fur-coat on just for that picture LOL) & couple other folks that I have never identified..."MIKE as always,you have a really cool original, & totally natural,unscripted record show for all of us record addict's.......your record enthusiast friend!!!

11:08- the reason "120 Music Masterpieces" (and "30 Piano Masterpieces") are so common is because they were *the* most successful mail-order albums ever to be advertised on TV. Columbia House [and its successor, Vista Marketing] bought time on many stations to advertise it {from 1971 through 1986}, with veteran actor John Williams as their "pitchman".

Really depends on if you're talking about new records or old ones. Many new records are limited pressings with different variations and thus increased rarity even though the scarcity is artificially created much like Funco Pops and other contemporary collectables. This channel is focused more on old records, which in most cases folks didn't realize would be collectable years later. The most valuable old records often are ones that weren't hits when they were released, but were later discovered by collectors.
Sorry to hear about the QTB "Spring Into Spring" album. I'd recommend playing the QTB "Boss Tres Bien" LP. The title track is killer dancefloor jazz, spun by Gilles Peterson et al over here. I'm a Northern Soul tourist really but pretty much a soulboy so I'd like to see a video of your singles. Don't quite know how I bumped into it but Gene Toone/Toones/Tune "A Lover's Triangle" on Simco is an awesome record. Around $400 dollars though and I've never paid more than £25 for any single.
This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. I found it interesting. I skipped through though after the first half as it seemed to me, as you say yourself, typical worthless thrift store vinyl, but hopefully you did find some valuable gems.
There was enough there to make it worthwhile, especially since I had to pick up the much better lot of 45s I bought at the same time. I was trying to make the point that when you buy lots you're going to get the good with the bad. In newer videos I just get to the good stuff when I show lots I purchased.
Hi Mike. You've got a couple of saleable records by Quartette Tres Bien in your 4 rubbish/garbage (?) boxes, "Spring..." and "Boss Tres Bien". Prices on Discogs are $8 - $50 for S and $8 - $75 for BTB. So your $45 was well spent. Think your Contours LP on Gordy would be a great seller in the UK.
Thanks. Just went back and looked through that box and pulled them out. Didn't have too many expectations of that box since it was a cheap auction lot. So many bad ones can make you overlook the good. Unfortunately someone wrote and then crossed out "The Beatles" on the cover of the Spring Into Spring record, which hurts the value. The other one is in great condition. I have a box of northern soul 45s that I might do a whole video on for my UK viewers. I have some pretty rare ones. Used to go to soul clubs here in Los Angeles and I have friends who DJ as well. I've been in the vintage Vespa/Lambretta scene since the nineties.
I bought this lot since it was cheap and I already had to drive down there to get the 45 lot. I still got more than my money's worth in good stuff, but most of the records in this lot were worthless.
I learned early in vinyl collecting....Sometimes you have to walk away!!

My mother worked as an extra for years. She was on the full run of "LA Law."

I see it at just about every thrift store.
Same here. MIke. 😃
1:42 Freudian slip 😁
Oops
Hi! Can you tell me why records are more expensive than cds . I just don't get it 🤔

How’s Bobby Darin common? That’s All is a great album too
I find Bobby Darin records all the time. He had some major hits and thus sold millions of records.
@@MikeFindsThings Your a lucky man. Must be something local to you, I don’t find a lot of LPs by him here in Winnipeg, mostly just 45s

On the newer videos on record lots I jump right to the good stuff.
You got hosed it looks like a collection you would find in a dumpster behind half price books

Alwa7s wondered who bought all this thrift store junk now I know
Trash overall. Surprisingly believe the Hannah Barberra lp the best of the lot
I bought this lot since it was cheap and I already had to drive down there to get the 45 lot. I still got more than my money's worth in good stuff, but most of the records in this lot were worthless.
