@nobelrecords - Dillion I purchased The Doors UHQR and the middle holes on BOTH vinyls (the part that sits on the spindle) was too small. Did you have this issue?

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Have you heard if the album, The Peeling of Tangerine??

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Love the video. Such great advice.

[@thomas2236]

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.

[@marvinsbprealty5760]

Absolutely, I would go to flea markets paying $20 to $40 for multiple boxes and bins of amazing records

[@strqrt70]

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.

[@seanconlon2773]

Ha! I was just about to post the same thing.

[@craiglewis7081]

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.

[@colevosburyofficial]

I work at a used bookstore that also sells used records, and believe me people still dump them with us or abandon them because they don't want "their dad's old albums." I've gotten some great stuff for free working there. From Black Sabbath 'Sabotage' or Jimmy Reed records, from Billie Holiday to Billie Eilish.

[@timbreakradio]

I’ve always been a collector of CDs because my stepdad had a massive collection. I’m currently stationed overseas with no music stores to be found within 100 miles, but what sparked my love for records was buying a batch of CDs from discogs, and I accidentally bought a picture record of Bob Seger’s Stranger in Town. It arrived and I was like…What am I going to do with this? I only kept it because I love that album. My buddy came over and didn’t care for the CDs, but the first thing he noticed was Bob Seger, and we started talking about it. I never knew having that record was a way to show love and appreciation in a way that can be truly noticed. Not in a million years would we have had that conversation if it was a cd and not a record. There’s something different about collecting records compared to collecting CDs once I started. More excitement and more appreciation for the music. It’s a rabbit hole that I gladly will continue to fall face first down.

[@dawnpatrol700]

Yeah, that Seger was part of a series of picture discs Capitol did in 78, a couple Beatles albums were also in the series

[@CBT5777]

CDs wont last much past 100 years. Records will last thousands of years to be passed down forever.

[@thevinylhunters]

It’s always the best time to be a record collector 😎

[@salters]

I don't have the money as much now but I am always going to try and collect ..58 and I have been coolecting since I was about 12..My passion for it has never wained ❤

[@ivozanette7010]

Bro the best time to buy records was in the '70's Stores were everywhere you could look. Downtown especially was fantastic. I didn't have to wait for product in the mail, and prices were cheap. There was even a store called Cheapies. It was a great time.

[@eddieb508]

Also all the mono albums being sold in drug stores, supermarkets, and of course record stores for insanely low prices like $.47 late 60's early 70's were a collectors dream

[@mem.1968]

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

[@petemallory1279]

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.

[@michaeld1378]

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.

[@Merlo535]

Punk was another music genre which never abandoned vinyl in the 90s and 2000s

[@dawnpatrol700]

And those were super cheap. Various artists comps were $3 brand new punk vinyl was 8.99 at most

[@nothingimportant4504]

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.

[@TLA1014]

Great video, Dillon! Thank you for sharing!

[@tumbleweedconnection7906]

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.

[@oprofessorquevirousardinha5891]

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.

[@richardfinlayson1524]

in melbourne there is probably 100 record shops, i have about six in my suburb, lol its great i love it.

[@richardfinlayson1524]

actually there is about 8 in my suburb , just thought of a few more,lol

[@n84434]

You got me with the Modem handshake tones. Thought my IPad was having a stroke….🤣

[@asupremelove5149]

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. Tree -

[@javieryaguez4582]

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?

[@asupremelove5149]

@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

[@javieryaguez4582]

@@asupremelove5149 what is the point of have a repro of an OG vinyl taking place in your shell? For me that releases are the same as the "unnoficial" fake pressings of well know and difficult to find records, Live On Hyde Park of RHCP for example, the only different between both releases are that the ones from Guerssen (and in this case not everything release by Guerssen are 100% put out with the consent of the band) or Noble have the consent of a member of the band. Why Noble don't do a MP3 of the sound and put it at 3 $ download ? That way you can hear that rare album that you did not know that you need it 1 month ago

[@colevosburyofficial]

To touch on your last video, nothing is as fun as it "used to be." That's allure of nostalgia. But I can say that if, for me, record collecting isn't as enjoyable as it used to be, that is completely of my own making. I got so caught up in digging, buying and having them that sometimes i've forgotten to slow down and appreciate the ones I have by listening to them. So now I'll go a lot longer without record shopping and I'll spend some time listening to the collection I've amassed over the last 10 years. And to touch on THIS video, what I love about the current state of record collecting is that if I want to listen to Sia's new album on vinyl, I can get it. And if I want to listen to a great sounding reissue of The Cure because the originals are scarce, I can get that too.

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Hey Dillion! Great video. Thanks for doing what you're doing. Cheers

[@javieryaguez4582]

What he's doing, Videos to promote his store and his releases masket in a video where he suppose to speak about something else

[@analoguecity3454]

I did think the video was negative at first, but I decided to watch the video through to hear you explain! And it turned out to be positive actually! I agree with you on most!😊

[@hellboundTX333]

Been a collector since the 90's. Funny thing now is that since vinyl is popular again, i already have almost every thing ill ever want to listen to. Lol.

[@ScottJohnson-x4f]

Great list of “pros”. Thanks! What ultrasonic do you use please.

[@hashtagdag]

$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.

[@joemclaughlinmusic]

I was born in 1966 and have amazing memories of my mom taking me to the record store at the mall with my allowance to buy records. I am also a former member of the Columbia House Record and Tape club. I remember sitting on my front steps waiting for the mailman to come. I bought most of my Aerosmith (I grew up in MA everyone had to have Aerosmith), Led Zeppelin and Rush records from Columbia House and I still have them today. I have some rare Boston bands Farrenheit (former members of the Joe Perry Project, The Fools, Jon Butcher Axis all on vinyl as well. I go see a lot of new bands who most of the time will have their vinyl available and will sometimes come out and meet the fans and sign them afterwards. Some new bands I love are Joywave, Badflower, Hannah Wicklund, Twin Tribes, Royal and the Serpent, Royel Otis, just to name a few. I have a good collection but a smart collection, not too big. I try to not go down too many rabbit holes and be smart with my purchases however when it comes to Aerosmith I am a completest. I own some rare bootlegs, radio interviews all on vinyl and probably have seen them around 40 times (it's a Massachusetts thing lol) I am looking for a good deal on Honkin' on Bobo, the first pressing is expensive. I'd have no problem buying a reissue if they ever reissued it, not their greatest work but one that I am missing. Aerosmith did fun things back in the day like alternate covers. There is a batwings logo version of Live Bootleg where the gatefold opens in the opposite direction. Anyway thanks for letting me procrastinate for a few minutes! 🤘🤘

[@vincentrathbone26]

Mid 80's- mid 90's was the golden era of record collecting, there were 2nd hand record stores everywhere in Australia, even the independent stores that specialized in alternative artists would have a healthy used record section, the most I payed for used records back in the early 90's was $30 each for near mint copies of the Masters Apprentices LP's Choice Cuts and Nickelodeon, great to see you have an original Kavhas Jute LP, I remember reading that only about 2500 copies made it out to record stores in Australia and a large number of unsold copies were melted down and reused.

[@djgrave489]

Hi ,I m George, I really like your channel. Black Spirit were actually Italians working in Germany.

[@nigelcampag1290]

I think we can all agree that it was much easier to get records for cheap in previous decades. As a UK guy I started buying 2nd hand records in the early 90s and bought loads for cheap that are now 3 figures. It still doesn't compare to the older guys I chat to who paid 50p or a £1 for Leafhound, Raw Material, Nick Drake etc lps in the 70s/80s. The 00s was the best time for me as my small world of local record shops/dealers expanded to international sellers online. A Strawberry Alarm Clock or Ultimate Spinach US record that a uk dealer had for £50+ in the 90s was now available to me for $10 on US ebay. Blew my tiny mind! Totally took away the control of the dealers selling records at a premium that you now realised weren't that rare afterall overseas. Incredibly difficult to find a bargain here now though. Knowledge of prices for an obscure record (private press, indie label, library record) that they may have priced for less than a fiver can quickly be established via a smartphone by any clueless moron. So for record buying we're living in the best of times and we're living in the worst of times.

[@wkbowdoin]

I use a VPI. What kind of ultrasonic cleaner did you buy?

[@The-Danish-Record-Hunter]

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.

[@paulotonedef]

That record could’ve been found in the 90s, but for a dollar or two.

[@SpyderTracks]

@@paulotonedefkind of totally ignored what the guy was saying

[@SteveOSpielberg]

I just got Wish You Were Here on 180gms vinyl it sounds amazing

[@Prognosis__]

Yep, I need that album but it’s $70 Australian brand new 😢

[@BleachShloki]

I do like vinyl, but Im primarily a CD collector. I love going to thrift stores and finding 1-3 dollar CDs that are so nice that people get rid of because of streaming I bet. I do buy the CD and vinyl of new releases I do love. Love the search.

[@yellowkrecordstore]

Loving the new intro 👌

That Underground Fire record is, indeed, really good. Sometimes the super obscure are super obscure for good reason. Not so with Underground Fire. Glad I picked one up! Thanks, Dillon!

Great video as always Dillion, appreciate the time and passion you put into all of your videos. Hands down the best quote of the video..."Turd Labels", you get what you pay for! agreed! Still funny how you said it. I have purchased some of those Jazz turd label re-issues where the label is already peeling up on a new purchase.

[@tonysmith5878]

I LOVE IT BRUTHA!!!! DIFFERENT STYLES OF THAT "NOBLE RECORDS" T-SHIRT. IF I GET MYSELF A SPOT, THAT'S HOW I'M DOING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EarlOfCricklewood]

With record collecting, there will always be good and bad. I’ve had good and bad moments record collecting. People will complain about reissues all they want, and I have a lot of issues with reissues, but one of my favorite records is a reissue! I own the 80s reissue of Faintly Blowing by Kaleidoscope because I don’t have 600-800 dollars to spend on a first printing. The thing woth reissues is just you have to find the right ones

[@kingzaprat]

I am a huge fan of Portland's Pond (not Australia Pond) from the mid 90's. They released 3 albums, but the 3rd album was only released on CD. Last year a group of Pond fans started a Go Fund me to make the 3rd release on vinyl for the first time ever! I never would have thought that possible back in the day. What a treat to experience and be part of.

[@bjkahuna]

The best time was the nineties, when no one wanted records except a small number of collectors

[@richardfinlayson1524]

the 80s was even better, you could get a lot of early 70s and 60s stuff pretty cheap, and a lot of stuff that is rare now was easy to get

[@StuntrockConfusion]

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

[@noblerecords]

Well I guess if may have been better for you, but it wasn’t for me. I guess it just depends on what you collect.

[@StuntrockConfusion]

@@noblerecords That's exactly what I'm saying : twenty years ago was the time for techno, house, IDM, etc, not for rock and classick rock or hard rock, those styles were not giving much excitement. But it still was a great time for vinyl collecting, if you were into the zeitgeist. Going to the shops on a saturday afternoon was an experience, so crowded that it could be intimidating. History should not be rewritten under the lense of one scene, all I'm saying, But it's all good ^^

[@comicswatching4851]

Def wanna get into collecting library but I absolutely know how deep of a rabbit hole it’ll be

[@GenericUser04]

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.

[@Metal-Heaven-Records]

Great Video Dillon!

[@londonrecordlover965]

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 KZbin 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.

[@StuntrockConfusion]

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

[@albert71292]

I never got rid of my vinyl (LPs/45s) I bought and inherited from my parents/grandparents over the decades. Back in the day, I'd buy the vinyl, record it to a good quality blank cassette for general listening, and put the vinyl on the shelf. Thus the records are still in great shape. The few I have I never re-purchased on CD because they weren't ever reissued or I never bought the reissue, I'm digitizing those, since new record players are available. My old one died ages ago. Discogs has filled holes in my "Homer and Jethro" collection, and cheaply, and I've digitized the old records.

I didn’t collect in the mid-90’s, but that would have definitely been the best time. Maybe ease of finding stuff would have been harder but you could have had whatever you wanted for dirt cheap.

My favorite 90's purchase... Chris Whitley's Dirt Floor. 45 RPM, 200 gram, sounds like he's playing in the room. Went to his show at 1st Ave in MPLS, and he autographed the cd version (easier to carry). Not for sale.

Right now, collectibles across the board are “leveling out” as the upcoming Presidential election draws closer. There’s uncertainty about the economy as well as the nation’s future, overall. Precious metals are going crazy as a result. Gold is higher now than ever before! So, it’s no wonder that there’s a slow-down in record buying. Hopefully, things will improve after November! Great video as always, Dillon!

Have you done video about those 70's really heavy Christian records (or how did you say it...)?

[@JJ-qs9hu]

I used to buy records in the 80s and then by the 90s it was either cassette or CD. I started getting back into record buying in 2012 and actually got some great finds for $1 or $2. I'm a 45 junkie so I have over 3300 45s from all over. The best thing 10 years ago was getting records from all over the world for pennies and shipping wasn't outrageous. I haven't slowed down buying even with the inflation , but I don't or won't buy a used album for more than $20. If it has a repress I'd rather spend $30 on that. Never cared about labels or what pressing plant. Really no one ever cared about such a thing. I enjoy my records and don't like calling it collecting or an investment. I buy to listen and not turn around to flip and make money of them. I always say when I die they can just use them to bury me with.

[@MarkChapeau]

Appreciate you countering your previous video and clarifying, but I think it’s clear to all that this isn’t the best time to collect records. It’s still a good time, and there’s fun to be had buying records. But collecting not is v expensive.

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Preach!

[@tomshaner3553]

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.

[@OwlsRNotWhatTheySeem]

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

[@VIDSTORAGE]

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

[@xentakis]

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.

[@OwlsRNotWhatTheySeem]

@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

[@chennforajido]

Yeah but you can only find Herb Alpert records on yard sales for the most part

yeah ,i wish i had a time machine, we had a shop called Collectors corner,in Melbourne and i remember seeing a lot of Vertigo LPs in there, but all that stuff was so cheap compared to now days, i remember looking at gentle giant and juicy lucy LPs and thinking ,what is this stuff, i was more into 60s music in those days, a mod. lol.

I purchased The Doors UHQR and the middle holes on BOTH vinyls (the part that sits on the spindle) was too small. Anyone else have this issue?

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.
