Bernie Binnick of Swan Records of Philadelphia issued that record. Binnick founded Swan records with Dick Clark in 1958 to launch the career of Billy and Lillie and their hit "Lucky Ladybug." Records by Link Wray and the Beatles original ,white and red label print of "She Loves You" are Swan's most prized possessions among record collectors. This record was a Philadelphia attempt to copy the Motown sound from Detroit, as it was a competing label in 1964-66. It wasn't a hit, however, which is why the record is valuable. Dick Clark was out of the picture from Swan Records by 1964, and Binnick continued to run the label until 1967, when it closed down. The label's biggest selling artist was Freddy Cannon, though their only #1 record on Billboard was "She Loves You" by The Beatles . Capitol kept turning The Beatles down in 1963, which is how Swan wound up with the record. It didn't do anything in 1963, but by February 1964, it suddenly rocketed to #1 on Billboard.

I tried WD40 on a super noisy, skipping record once. It helped but made the vinyl cover "wet". I'd rather have less noise then worry about a film. However this wasn't a rare record. So do what you want,, Educate yourself..Also a record you like may not be everyone's taste.

Heat is the main factor in PVC migration. More heat = more migration = more binding.

I had a buddy who gifted a coworker that same Wish You Were Here pressing about a decade ago and he got upset when the other dude opened it immediately. Turns out the other guy was right after all these years. lol!

Don't ever just slit open one side to get the record out and leave the rest of the plastic around the sleeve either. It can not only cause the sleeve to warp in all kinds of odd manner, but can also allow a moisture trap that can cause mold and other irreparable damage. I've seen this a bunch while thrift store hopping with vintage records before sleeve-ing them was a common practice.

amazing house. cool tour dude.

Wow what a collection

How do I find you on eBay?

Mr Speaker I’d like to claim my time back 😂.

Hello, how are you? I bought a box and my certificate is also 00000. What do you think is the explanation?

to cute Merry Christmas

Elfie and Santa ! 🎇

So cute 🥰 Happy Holidays

Look out! There is a monster behind you! I'm kidding you, it's a Monty Python joke!

Records were pressed with a lot more care back before cds debuted. Nowadays the frequency of warps and other defects is astonishing.

Do u sell any records omg u have gold 🥰

I had 2 records sealed a Metallica Kill ‘Em All which I did not open for over a year. I opened it and noticed the labels were both the same. They were both side one and I’m thinking wtf lol. Too late to return it or exchange it. The other was The Beatles Red album vinyl from 2014. I opened it and I’m looking through it and I’m looking at the lyrics sleeves. They are two identical sleeves with the same songs. Again im like wtf!’ The Beatles vinyl ain’t cheap. I’m thinking.Wheres the Quality Assurance. People pay their hard earned money to get product that has issues. It’s unacceptable. People open your Vinyl. Some might be warped to as well.

Awesome records. They are going to sound amazing... apart from that Angel record. That's a label that classical collectors avoid it at all costs. Look for the video that POETRYONPLASTIC made about collecting classical music on vinyl. Quite an education.

Ringo's V neck not George's on Y&T second state fyi.

I’ve missed this one 😮 Happy Holidays to all and Merry Christmas my friend. 🫶🏻🎄🎅🏻⛪️

I know I would like your Del Reeves record.. never saw this one before.

I cried seeing those destroyed post punk jackets, not one was spared! 😆, except for the Armoury Show.

The Bing Crosby White Christmas LP is timely. The 12" singles box in the background looks intriguing. Wow! Awesome Beatles finds.

Hey Steve. Great video! So cool to have that rare Christmas album! Love that Ella album, own that myself. Dean! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! Cheers

Andy Williams has a wonderful voice

Always exciting to stumble onto a rare album. I use to have 100s of Xmas CDs, when it comes to albums I have a few but I like the CDs so I can play them everywhere. Nice choices including the cheesecake

A great start with some excellent Dinah Washington albums. Well done on the butcher. I enjoyed the unusual Procol Harum cover - I don't recall seeing that before. I was looking forward to another dig video. You did not disappoint.

I want those Cure records! haha

I always sell my Christmas records this time of year because people will overpay lol. I do have that Ella record, reissue with a different cover

That “It’s Christmastime” album was one hell of a find. Guess it’s time to start playing my Christmas records - I don’t have many lol. Have a great Christmas Steve ! All the very best from the UK.

Hey Steve great line up of records for Christmas vibes. Love the June Christy my fav off that lp is This time of year .another record I play this time of year is Stevie Wonder's Some day at Christmas and Brenda Lee's Rocklin around the Christmas tree .

Hi Brother Steve, Great lineup of records. A lot of my choice!!!! The Charlie Brown Christmas is probably my top. I love Christmas music and can listen all year long. Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis are great! That Soulful Strings is a banger. I try to pick up all of there albums (Soulful Strings). If I can add - I like Bobby Vee (Electric Trains And You) one of my favs, Jack Jones, Carpenters, Dean Martin, Diana Krall. You Got to have James Brown - Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto, Donny Hathaway- This Christmas and Luther Vandross **** Yea Baby :) Motown - Motown is always great too! Thank you for your time. Blessings to you and your family!!!!

Cheers to you Son❤

I recently purchased a copy of the Byrds 5th Dimension, it was in its rounded plastic sleeve, and the disc looked clean.

my go to Xmas record is Jackson 5 album with my fave xmas tune Up On The House Top. Happy Hatch Green Holidays Chef.

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas.

I thought I spied a Cadet label. Nice picks Steve!! Merry Christmas 🌲

Many thanks and Merry Christmas Steve and all The Vinyl Record Mission/DjJoey!! ✌️✌️✌️ Edit: I feel your wife has perfect taste in Christmas albums..also my fave

Some nice swingin' jazz there Steve. I love Ella Fitzgerald..hearing her voice always makes me think of my parents as they used to play the Cole Porter songbook records a lot when I was young. Nice to see those titles. Have a great Christmas 🎄

Love these unique titles. You’ve got the classics but you’ve also got done very unique titles. I dig that private pressing. It has such a cool lounge feel to it. Great selections! Merry Christmas!

It's a Beautiful Day is one of my favorite bands. That vinyl looks fantastic. I would love to see a CD reissue of all of It's a Beautiful Day's Columbia label recordings.

here in OZ records never were shrink wrapped, not in the old days anyway, the records came to the shop, and the empty sleeves were in the bins, you took the sleeve to the counter and the staff would have them in company paper sleeves, and put them in the record cover. the company paper sleeves , i believe were used to record sales numbers and order more copies

Basura .

How often does someone find a storage unit with records all boxed up waiting for you I wish I could find stuff like that

21:00 Why in the world are you dropping the records back into the box like that? Talk about cringe.

There is a lot of misinformation out there.

It makes me gringe when you pull out records like that lol🥺Ringo's V neck not George

That many in 8 months? Nice. I added one more. is that everything the Brothers Four did?

Just subscribed, have been really enjoying your videos. Billy F Scotland.

The Dingoes were a great Australian band from the mid 1970s. Cheers
