Wow. Great to see this. I had a ball shooting this with Jon. It's funny. I edited it it in L.A. with a guy who was not from Philly. Half of this stuff he didn't get! Val is the best.
Exactly, which is why it’s a shame that his hoard is in the shape it is in. A lot of those records are probably ruined or warped or at least not in the condition they should be in. Christ, he has tons of records he doesn’t even know he has.
@@TheMindIlluminated Yes Talio..... one needs space and a system to run a good store. Check out ...... Jerry's Records in Pittsburgh..... they have both.... and lots of records.....
@@christopherpatefield6150 yeah this isn’t a collection, it’s a hoard. Val has records stacked feet high on top of each other, crammed super tight on the shelves, and worst of all scattered all over the floor with cats running around. This is a hoard and I guarantee those records are in awful shape. This is a disaster.
Well, Val, too bad I'm on the other end of the state (near Jerry's Records) or I'd love to work at your store and sort all that stuff out! I've got over 62,000 in my own collection. Everything I have is sorted via label and then record number. and listed on my computer. I've been collecting since I was 2! (You were 3, at the time.) I also used to buy records for my friends. Almost every day, I'd come home from school, jump on my bike and ride 4 miles to hit several record shops! Record Rama, Eide's (across the street), K-Mart (around the corner another mile) (it had a fairly large record section) and N&S (up on the hill another 2 miles from K-Mart). Eide's & Jerry's are the only two left and both guys just died about a year ago. You COULD always ship me a truckload of stuff and I'll sort them, list them, if you want and ship `em back.
Val needs to get a much larger store. No offense but that place is a fire hazard. God forbid if there ever was a fire! Somebody can get seriously injured or even killed!
No, he needs to not be a hoarder and treat his records like shit. The place is a mess. Dude cares about hoarding records as items, not the music or what the records represent. This is just his own collection in a building, he hasn’t listened to a lot of these. He hates albums? Gtfo.
Muitos discos, mas uma puta bagunça do cacete, além disso muito caro, com preços totalmente fora da realidade. Vai ficar para a próxima geração de arqueólogos descobrir enterrado em algum lugar dos EUA.
This guy is a trip. Love it. Does the guy ever actually listen to anything? He didn't seem to have music playing and his man Chucky seemed to disappear quickly. That fucker figured that shit out early. He certainly wasn't in charge of catalogs. Jeebus Christmas. I hope his neighbors have their fire insurance payed up. If that place went up it would be like a coal mine fire. Gawd forbid.
This dude also says he hates albums. Wtf. I feel like he doesn’t love music, he just loves hoarding very specific shit. Also he has records just strewn about on the floor for cats to piss on??? He has them all stacked on top of one another feet high and has the gall to bitch about the place being a disaster? He doesn’t even know what he has!!! He’s a hoarder, absolutely.

Best quote in this video, "people put a lot of work into this stuff". Val is spot on!!!

"Canada if you call that a country"
GOLD.
Amazing video !
The brother I never knew? I would love to visit, wish I drove. I could A-Z that place in no time for fun.
I wonder who made all of the shelving in the store...? Amazing!
Holy crap Val,you own a fire trap!
Too right. That was my first thought when I saw this video.

Imagine if this place caught fire.

and that's reason not to let customers browse

Val hiring, I wonder? I'm obsessive-compulsive and I'd (almost) work for free.
You love records, but hate albums? So you’re a hoarder of 45’s.
Those greasy paws eating that sandwich and touching the the record sleeves.. Come on Dude !!🙄
