RARE! But Who Cares? (Vinyl Community)

- Back in the 90's my roommate and myself used to go to record conventions scoring cool and rare records. He was buying things that people are actually still looking for today. Meanwhile, I was buying classic rock vinyl that wasn't on cd at the time thinking I was really scoring some real rare gems. Turns out, I wasn't. Some nice songs, though.

Did this get posted somewhere recently? It has re-gained popularity this week and I was curious where it was posted. Please link below... Thanks!!
Robert, what do you do with that vinyl junk you got. And I mean that in a nice way…
Algorithm is showing your videos to me I’m assuming it’s because I’ve watched a bunch of vinyl DJ videos and reviews. I’ve been digging these though. Good job. ✌🏻
If you’re collecting records because you think they’ll increase in value, you should rethink your strategy. Or try buying the S&P 500. Frankly, it would be great if all records collapsed in value - then people who simply enjoy listening to them would find it way more affordable.
@@hardmoney8560 Wellll, like I said several times in the video, this was 30 years ago in the 90's.
@@hardmoney8560 Aye!
Friend of mine introduced me to Joy Division when I met him in 1982. Before I met him,I had only vaguely heard of them because they were right next to Joy Of Cooking in the stacks. I still don't know what Joy Of Cooking sound like and I'm okay with it. I'm 60 and really miss the days when lps ruled. Love your site. It's fun.
Seems that most people with vinyl blogs talk about their rare records and how valuable they are. But not you. You're like the Rodney Dangerfield of the vinyl community. Kind of refreshing, actually.
Lol thanks! Great comment!
@@RobertFithen Ironically enough, I just finished watching your "My top ten most valuable vinyl albums." So maybe you're just a LITTLE like Rodney Dangerfield. By the way, supposedly members of Joy Division helped assemble the Durutti Column album packaging.
That was one of the first videos I made and was just taking ideas from others. I hate the fact that it's my most watched video.
@@RobertFithen dang it man, I was just going to go watch it.
TINY TIME FOREVER !!!!
OMG what a great video!!!👍👍 a free wheeling feel too it, quite factual and innovative. Love your videos Robert! Thank you!!
Thanks!!
So years ago I had the Moms Apple Pie 'vagina' cover and I thought "My God I'm sitting on millions, how could they get away with this" - only to find out the really rare one was the 2nd censored cover with the wire fence and 2 cops peering through the window. By the time I got that one, nobody cared. Threw them both out. - Great video! - Jose'
I really thought I had something.
Good sounding band.
Ive never seen this album or that group. Seems a little creepy if u ask me.
This should be a continued series!
I think I could watch you talk about this kind of stuff with that energy for hours
Thanks!!
Another great video! I was at a flea market earlier and someone was trying to sell a beat up copy of Thriller for $25 and it made me laugh.
top tier comedy bits and very knowledgeable I can't believe you don't have a million subscribers
Thanks for the awesome comment!
I love this video! I have made it a personal mission to find tons of obscure/rare records from the 60s/70s lol.
Love this video great perspective on collecting rare things, thank you!
Thanks Nora!
This is another one of your top 5 videos! A great counterpart to your most valuable records video, which I also enjoyed.
But I guess what matters is that these are records that YOU enjoy listening, appreciate their pop-cultural relevance. I really hope you weren't investing in a retirement plan! :D
Thanks!! I also made a follow up to that video called "Most valuable according to.... me" where I actually talk about records in my collection that aren't worth much, but mean a lot to me.
Thanks for giving me a good laugh today. Fantastic video and I love the topic. I was more like your roommate, buying stuff that has typically increased in value over the years, but I have also bought my share of "who cares?" vinyl, only the majority of mine are bands that were super-obscure and just never gained a following. I have posted a lot of videos on my own channel about stuff that I was stoked to find at the time, then I make a video of it, with sound clips even, and maybe 10 people will watch it. Maybe I should make a "who cares?" video too! Anyway, great stuff, you have a new subscriber.
That Buffalo Springfield compilation is quite a something but yeah, who cares. But I like it.
Great video Robert! I picked up a copy of Hard Labor this weekend. The copy I found had the manila filing folder that covers up the action on the front cover, which gives you the impression that this record may house some really rare, contraband, clandestine, perhaps shocking imagery, music or more... Nope! Nobody cares! At $5 I paid way too much for it!
Thanks! I always wondered why some things are blacked out on the report inside the manila envelope, even on the uncensored one.
Great video love that uriah heep and that elton john is really rare found my copy in flea market during my holiday visiting my parents in South Eastern British Columbia one or two songs show up on his 11 17 70 live album gave up on elo after the discovery lp they had turned into what the moody blues were doing
Wild angels- I thought that it was a fun biker flick ,I loved the blues theme ,I had found both albums before I watched the movie …
Awesome video again !
The number of times I went back to hear you say cat mother and the joy of cooking. Had me 😂.
So good Robert!!!
Thanks Patrick!
I always wonder if I'm only person who listens to albums like Tales from Topographic Oceans (YES) nobody makes epic 2 album sets like that anymore. The themes and the musical journey is amazing. Rick Beato did a video on "The greatest music never heard" check it out.
I think its boring
You and I have the same exact experiences...I bought the same LPs too...Cat Mother, Joy of Cooking, Frantic, Forum Quorum, etc...but not to worry...as ridiculously as expensive as every other vinyl LP is now, these are bound to increase in value. We just need to wait another 40 years.
You've made me rethink my RSD23 list.
You're great at this man!
Hi Robert
Crazily entertaining video.
To be honest, I would just love to see some of that stuff here in the UK let alone what I would have to pay for them !
One mans' trash is another mans' gold etc...
Hope you're keeping well.
Thanks!! Same here with some of the U.K. releases. With shipping, it becomes quite expensive.
Fun vid! I've also got that blue Moody Blue. Great song by the King though
Thanks!! "Moody Blue" and the other single "Way Down" have always been favorites.
I love your videos!!!!
I’m in Canada, been collecting since I bought Jimi Hendrix CRY OF LOVE when it was a new release….vinyl and cd mostly and your take on collecting music fits with mine…with exceptions of course….it’s the attitude that counts! Cheers from Winnipeg!
This was a fun video. We’ve all been there but it’s always our own fault.
We have broken the first rule of record collecting. Buy what you love,love what you buy. Buying lps like they’re stock futures is always a bad idea. It just never works out.
Hilariously my friend just gave me a Cat Mother lp! I had never heard of them. Kinda a Dead vibe to them. But as I’m not a Dead fan really I gotta say I like these guys better!
Great fun, Robert, thanks so much. I can relate. Sold off so much good stuff. Stuck with 1000 Cat Mothers, Buckwheats and Duke Jupiters.
Love this top man!!
"Rare but who cares?" LOL! Well said, loved the video. I've been collecting for over fifty years and have most of the LPs you show here. Some great records!
Thanks!! Great ones even if they're not collectable.
Great video. I think your friend had the better collection 😂 love your videos!! 🤘
Thanks! He did and does. lol
Lol it’s 2:22am when I’m watching this haha, awesome story!!😎🤘
Thanks!! That's when I usually watch videos.
I was just playing "Cat Mother" the other day. My favorite by them is "Last Chance Dance."
Your correct, I really don’t care about any of these 😬 great vid by the way finally stumbled across your channel.
Thanks!! Not even Cat Mother? LOL
Hi Robert, great video there are some people who still avidly collect uriah heep. I should know as I'm one ..
All the best chris...
I love this video! Very entertaining. Actually alot of new reissues are way more expensive or valuable than the OG. The greedy labels figured out how to squeeze more cash from us lol.
This video is great tho. Good to see that you also collect whatever you like to play regardless of monetary value!
And Thriller a grail?? Hahah. I got doubles back in the 90s in the dollar bins.
Well, at least now I know I have a first pressing of the Willie/Merle record. Thanks? Good video.
Hilarious and informative, greatest video about physical formats collecting!
Thanks!
My 4th time on this video, I love when you rant on and on HAHA
Love the humour in your videos , great stuff.The complete opposite to those oh so serious guys who know the shoe size of the drummer in Kansas and take it all so seriously.
Have to say though Robert, Joy Of Cooking? Yep i care lol.
Best wishes.😀
You are so passionate about music wow !
lol very
Funny thing about most of those records is they were pressed in pretty large numbers so they're mostly not rare per se. They are however packaged & designed in interesting ways which makes them interesting. Going back to your friend yeah he was picking up iconic sellable later era stuff, but I'd rather listen to the records you just showed!
Funtastic episode and hilarious.
Thanks Eddie!
ha ha, brilliant concept....I've got a few of 'no one cares' albums.
I'll tell you who doesn't care about my precious vinyl...my wife. Great vid man 🤣👍👍👍
I hear that a lot! Thanks!!
So refreshing Robert, records should be fun and funny! Thank you😄 careful shhhhh, don't say MFSL! The record police are listening!!!🙉 💣✌
Hey man. You're right on with those picks. The only ones that some people may get upset over would be Rumours, Thriller, and Elvis ( not me !). You were right on regarding Thriller, people think they found a million $, same with Elvis. I've witnessed many, many bring Elvis into a record store and are totally offended by the offer tendered after an appraisal and storm out in a huff. I tell them just because records are old does not make them valuable, especially Elvis. I have a sealed copy of that Mom's Apple Pie uncensored cover, which I can give two shits about, but just waiting for the day that I can unload it on someone who thinks they're getting The Velvet Underground unpeeled, torso lp. Ha! People shame me for not being gaga over Rumours; it's not that I don't like it or respect it. The radio killed it for me, like a lot of other bands, like The Eagles. Oh well- great topic for a video though. Peace.
Thanks! It's just so strange after years of seeing both "Rumours" and "Thriller" in the dollar bins, to suddenly see people paying top dollar for them.
Haha! Wonderful video! That was funny. 😃
Thanks Melinda!
Funny presentation, and so true!
OUCH!! LOL We've all been there, my friend.
Frigid Pink was so good that Led Zeppelin opened for THEM. Well, both bands had started about the same time, Zeppelin still being unknown, and this happened in Detroit which was Frigid Pink's home turf.
Very entertaining video! Now I just wanna go around saying "no one cares, turns out..not a lot of people care, who cares, yeah, nobody cares".
LOL Thanks!!
Entertaining! I'll be sure to pass up any old colored vinyl from now on! ;-) That said I did inherit a huge old collection of classical music (some Deutsch Grammophone) and about every Johnny Mathis LP from back in the day. And - who cares!?
Thanks!! Some old color vinyl is worth something, but not that "Moody Blue" album.
Thriller the greatest album of all time. Thank you Robert.
Did you just mention the Angry Samoans? Hardcore!
Brilliant!
Have about 1/2 what you showed. Would love to have the other 1/2
Finally, someone cares!
You and I have similar record collections. I think the super rare stuff that I was initially proud of finding is worth less and less.
That Mom's Apple Pie record is actually really good. May not really be super rare or valuable but some solid jazz rock. Their other album is pretty cool too.
I just bought a copy still in shrink. I think it was about $12.
Mom's apple pie. Came up on youtube one night so I gave it a listen. Got on cd and vinyl and picked up mom's apple pie #2 on vinyl as well. Both are real good
Funny video but honestly a lot of people, me included, care. A lot of wicked albums there, I'd love to own most of them
very cool music room.i'm jealous. :)
Que hermosa colección discográfica tienes, te mando un abrazote desde Zacatecas, México.
Thanks Miguel!
"No one cares about Uriah Heap". I used to think that. But a surprising number of classic rock geezers love them. Some even have them as their favorite band.
Love those 90s record shows I was after good boots and concert vids
Hilarious video. It’s like an anti late night infomercial. Just couldn’t stop laughing
Thanks!!
Sweetwater! Love the band from Ca
Perfect!
Cool 😎 video Robert 😉👍
Thanks!!
great video. Funny stuff.
Thanks!!
I definitely have my collection of Doug Clarke and the Hot Nuts. Super hard to find but I’m the only person that likes them!
Fantastic video! Great entertainment and loads of information in a short time. Don't really car about the music though ;)
Thanks!! No one cares! lol
Really liked this video. Moms apple pie …. Lol. It’s 3:29 am and I’m here watching. Lol
That's probably the best time to watch it. Lol
My wife has that original Richie Valens album. She insists its worth something. She needs to watch this.
Richie valens killer record I’d love a first press. Also Uriah Heap and Frigid Pink debuts are both super sick records and the UK 1st press Uriah Heap is pretty rare and pricey.
sick yea 🤢🤢🤢🤮
the humble comedy is a pure gold
Thanks!!
Best video on the internet!!!
Thanks!! That's high praise! Love your channel.
I found a nice copy of that Three Dog Night (Hard Labor) at a yard sale for $2.00. It's a alien chicken lady giving birth to the bands new record. My copy still has the birth record attached to the cover. Best $2 I ever spent.👍
Nice! It took me years to find that cover.
Great video, love your humor. But who cares, lol. And I just subscribed, but who cares.
I've seen Goodbye Yellow Brick Road cheap in yellow vinyl at carboot sales here in UK. Crazy I know.
your Ritchie Valens could be rare. First pressings had the song labeled as "I Got A Gal Named Sue" on the album jacket but has "That's My Little Suzie" on the vinyl. Those are worth a little more.
Where does this guy come from? He's just so funny probably the only one with a you tube channel who has a sense of humour
That was very entertaining! Well done.
Thanks!!
Great video showing rare doesn’t equate to value
That was hilarious!
LOL...Who CARES!!!! I have all of the Sweetwater lp's. The rare Elvis "Moody Blues" is the black pressing...but who cares. Great video.
Thanks! I used to look for the black "Moody Blue". Back when I cared. lol
😅 that was awesome!
I'd love the psych out soundtrack and the trip, love sixties soundtracks
Great soundtracks!
I thought I was the only one to have that Cat album. Good thing I have the super rare US press.
Have it here too, but then I have a whole shelf of 70s-80s Can rock that nobody cares about.
It's all in the eye of the beholders. Amazing how much better first pressing rhonchi sounds better than 50th pressing rhonchi sound.
Sounds like my luck.. lol! However, I love combing the dollar bins and finding great but NOT rare LP’s.
Absolutely! I've spent decades at this point. Some of these are great albums, but it seems, no one cares. lol
So funny, watched twice, you have some cool psych there but you're right, can't beat metal and punk, specially rare metal and punk.
Thanks!!
10:59 LOVE that version...even though Stephen Stills LOATHES it! I don't care for the 4 minute version with the banjo...not that it's bad it's just the long jam is unbelievable. But I wonder how much coke Stills did before that jam, with all of the bellowing and mumbo-jumbo he had going on.....😅
There are a few "Moody Blue" albums in black vinyl. They're worth a few $$$. I was stupid and bought the blue version.
Cat mother is an awesome overlooked lp
Genius!
I wish, lol
blown away by the $5 Ritchie Valens phenomenon
Yeah, I don't get that at all.
Well done, it takes quite a skill to make so many wrong decisions one after another. I say that, as I'm quite proud of it being a skill I also excel at. I start to wonder if my bad luck at not choosing to buy the right records is the result of bad karma in a previous life? I must've been a irredeemably awful dung beetle in my last incarnation to be heaped this much crap!
I could cope if it were only my record collecting which was so dreadfully flawed, but no, my comic collecting hobby has been equally doomed. It seems that given the choice of two comics to collect, one which will spiral in value and one that will sink without trace, my transcendentally defective ability kicks in and I go for the pile of shite...Every bloody time.
...Still, at least these records I buy are the bomb! People need to wake up to how awesome they really are! This time next year I'll be sitting on a goldmine of hyper rare country rock albums!
Cheers - Hedley
Thanks!! I really like some of these albums, it's just hilarious to remember how naïve I was to think they would be valuable. I've never owned a comic book.
LOL, I have that Frijid Pink record too, got it cheap. I'd love to find a copy of Toad the Wet Sprocket for less that $100 but many are more than $200. That's hilarious about the MJ, it's amazing how such an ubiquitous album gets way over-priced. I saw one copy in Fair condition, many scratches, and they wanted $20 for it? No body wants it. It is amazing how so many punk titles are so highly collectable.
Some of those punk singles like The Misfits were expensive back in the 90's. They are astronomically priced now.
I wan Ethel the Frog now!!!
You just doubled the value of these “rare but no one cares” records. BTW, you have a cool last name.
Yes, but zero people care doubled is still zero people! LOL
@@RobertFithen You math wizard, you.
Rare or not I go for what pressing sounds the best be it OG or a reissue. When you go into that rabbit hole you find the sound quality of some of these OG pressings just don't sound that great compared to reissues and from other countries.
Then there's the albums that came out on vinyl in the 90's. Tracks taken out, edits, songs all shoehorned all on one LP, most using digital compressed sources.
Some of these newer reissues done by AP and MoFi cut using the master tape sound amazing and blow me away. Comes at a cost but well worth it
I don't do a lot of 90's vinyl for that reason. It seems those albums were formatted with CDs in mind. "Shoehorn" is a great way to describe it.
🤣been there,done that🤪
