Amazing Arizona Record Haul! |Vinyl Finds #33|

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Sorin.. It's so cool that you focus on one of the greatest era's of music.. 1966 thru 1973 or so. Us kids were so hard into blues rock and all the other stuff way back in the good old days ! Your Van der Graaf Generator is totally rad.. And I want one ! Haha 🤟So Awesome that you pulled a Pink Moon copy out of the wild west in Arizona ! i HAVE THAT 2013 as well ! Right.. the first UFO LP's are killer ! Now your talking.. Town & Country is missing in my vinyl collection, and glad you have one ! Later on.. JT

[@sorinvinyl1523]

I try to get as much music as I can fro the 50s-now, but I definitely have a huge focus on that era. So much great music! Pink moon is one of my all time favorites. Town & Country is a must have! Thanks for watching ✌☮

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Yeah.. One can never tire of the great late Nick Drake ! Town & Country has been a tough one for me to find, but... I Will have That Record !! Haha 😆

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Town and Country is tough because there was no US original release. There is a US reissue from the 80s I believe. But the OG is the one to get, the sound quality is amazing! I hope you can find one!

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Yep.. I'm on it.. I have most of the other Pie LP's. I love " Smokin' as well 🎵 Thanks, Sorin

[@jibs9212]

Great video again ! And feels nice to know someone else talks about how Nick Drake's music makes you feel, his music and lyrics are just incredible 😌

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Thank you! Nick Drake is just amazing! One of my all time favorite artists. ✌☮

[@BoomKazoo2112]

Great haul! Also love that Groundhogs album and was lucky enough to find it at my local store for a decent price. Ursula Creek is a new one for me I’ll have to check it out Take care Brian ☮️

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Thank you! Its quickly becoming my favorite groundhogs record. Ursula Creek is decent, nothing too mindblowing. Thanks for watching ✌☮

[@ilyapisman818]

Thanks so much for the video man. Great pick-ups! That Hogwash is a seriously good album! I have not heard anyone mention that one yet. What a find! Gotta get me a copy. But yeah you got some amazing deals on these. I hope your luck in the bins keeps on keeping on. Cheers.

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Thanks so much for watching! Hogwosh is great! I hope you get some luck as well! ✌☮

Fantastic haul of vinyl. I had the chance to see UFO in 1975 with Edgar Winter. It was a great concert. Enjoyed your video.

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Thank you! I would've loved to see UFO. Thanks for watching ✌☮

Great records. You can't go wrong with Tony McPhee or Steve Marriott.

Very true. Great musicians who never can upset! Thanks for watching ✌☮

You might be interested in an Italian film called, "Nerosubianco", aka "Attraction", from 1969, in which Freedom did the soundtrack. They also appear in the film. If you search "Butt Of Deception" on Y.T., you'll find a clip I posted of them from the film. They featured ex-Procal Harum members in their line-up. I've also got the non-LP 45 released by Zoo, which is pretty cool, and to my knowledge, hasn't been released on any of the album re-issues. If you like UFO's first, then you'll love their second. Pure Space Rock!

[@sorinvinyl1523]

I knew about the soundtrack, but didn't know they appeared in the film. I'll look that up later for sure! I'll have to check out the non lp 45 for the zoo. I've got UFO 2 and agree, pure, amazing space rock! ✌☮

[@brucster99b2]

@@sorinvinyl1523 Good luck on finding the film! It's out there, but there's only a few snippets on Y.T. (lots of nudity in the film, hence why I didn't post any other clips of the band!). I'd have to check, but I think there must be 4 or 5 clips of 'em. The Zoo 45, (Sunset Strip/One Night Man), is on Y.T. I only payed £5 ($7-ish) a few years back for a decent copy. Star Storm!!🛸

[@sorinvinyl1523]

@@brucster99b2 I'm more interested in the soundtrack than anything haha, although I don't see myself owning an original anytime soon.

[@brucster99b2]

@@sorinvinyl1523 Yeah right. Not the cheapest bit of vinyl out there. Even later pressings are a little pricey. I guess it depends on how much ya want it. Ain't that always the case! There's stuff out there I want, but due to the prices, I'll never own, unless...?

[@nearwildheaven4840]

Amazing finds Sorin, I have an early press of that Van Der Graf album, and it's fantastic. I have a few other albums by them, Pawn Hearts is among my favorites by them. Cool Groundhogs LP love that band Thank Christ for the Bomb is also pretty good. I have a reissue of the Town and Country LP, it's on a "twofer", with their first album, and though it's not a Robert Ludwig cut, it still sounds pretty good. Albert King's Born Under A Bad Sign is awesome, cool you found it for $10! I have the RSD reissue, and it sounds great. VU's third album, to me, sounds like they're seeking redemption, after the first two albums with songs of sex and drugs and violence, the third has all these songs like Beginning To See the Light, and Jesus that have an almost angelic sound to them. My favorite song from that album is What Goes On. Incredible Haul! Arizona is a treasure trove! Thanks for sharing these great albums, take care.

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Thank you! I need more Van Der Graff, thy are awesome. Thank Christ for the Bomb is amazing. You are the only person to mention the Albert King find haha! I was proud of that one. Interesting take on VU third album, I can totally see that. I really like Pale Blue Eyes and Candy Says. Arizona is a treasure trove for sure! Thanks for watching ✌☮

[@tituschalk]

Ah man, that Van De Graaf album is magic! Great find - and great buddy for giving it to you!

[@sorinvinyl1523]

It really is! I'm so happy to finally have one! ✌☮

[@craigsandry6737]

Awesome stuff mate . Velvet Underground , Humble Pie & UFO are terrific pickups . Not familiar with a few of the others here in Australia so will be checking them out . I already have Freedom on my wantlist ( Thanks Martin’s Vinyl ) . Cheers & Thanks

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Thank you! Freedom is a great band, I need more of their stuff. I hope you find something new! ✌☮

Freedom in a goodwill? Thats really somethin. I have had very little luck in goodwill's. I'd be happy to find anything haha. Thanks for watching ✌☮

[@grantpate1932]

Sweet finds like usual Sorin! I just moved to Chicago, and befittingly the first good find was an original John Lee Hooker Real Folk Blues comp on Chess You can definitely re-sell the VU down the line for the same or more, what are your thoughts on the closet mix?

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Thats a great find! And very very fitting haha. I have to compare the two mixes, but I feel it is pretty intimate. It does have a low budget sound to it, but I like it. Thanks for watching ✌☮

[@FireMoon42]

As a fifteen year old in 1973, the companion album to Pink Moon was "Bless The Weather" by John Martyn. All these years later, it still is. John and Nick were friends and i suspect it was Nick that encouraged John to take a more esoteric musical path. .. On another bent altogether, I thought of you whilst listening to the band Crown Lands, it might be worth sharing them with your father, they defo have a Rush feel to them without being Rush derivatives.

[@sorinvinyl1523]

I need some John Martyn in my collection for sure! Do you have an original copy of any Nick Drake albums? I'll definitely check out Crown Lands, I've never heard of them before. Thank you! ✌☮

[@FireMoon42]

​@sorinvinyl1523 Sadly no, I had my entire collection stolen in 1978. So few people bought Pink Moon second hand copies were incredibly rare. Those that did buy them mostly hung onto them. For years I had a single sleeve 80s repress, I now have the version you own. I do have an original "Bless The Weather" though.

[@sorinvinyl1523]

@@FireMoon42 aw man that is really unfortunate. Original copies are ridiculously rare and expensive now. I can only hope to find one for a good deal. Original copy of Bless The Weather is really cool though! I'd love to own one.

[@Groundhogfan1962]

Good one on the Groundhogs.IMO it is their best album and $5 is a hell of a deal.I own a fully signed UK copy and a Japanese press of it.The Andwella's Dream goes for well beyond the $1000 mark. Are you familiar with T2 or Incredible Hog

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Its quickly becoming my favorite as well honestly. I have to dive back through their discography. Signed copy is really cool! I really want to find an original T2 album. I havent heard Incredible hog in a while. Thanks for watching ✌☮

Underground Fire is the first record put out by Noble Records that I’ve picked up.

[@vinylrichie007]

@@sorinvinyl1523 A lot of the Noble Records seem to be 70’s Hard N Heavy type records. That is a rabbit hole I’m trying to not go down. Psych, Garage and Punk is enough for me. You can’t get everything.

[@enders357]

I'm confused about terminology. You said the Van Der Graaf Generator record was an "original UK" and then later "an '86 reissue". I'd always assumed when peope say they got an "original" they meant a first press - is that not what they mean? Thanks, love the channel.

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Ah looking back I can see how what I said was confusing. My friend was the one who got the original, so he gave me his old copy, which was the 86 reissue. I was just saying thay he got an original copy, but he gave me his reissue. Original does mean a first press, at least to me and to most people. If someone says they got an original, I would assume its a first pressing. I hope this helps! ✌☮

Great buys Sorin. I've took a picture of the Ursula Creek review in AA and I'll send you via DM on Insta. Hopefully you'll be able to read it. Been on a bit of a Nick Drake journey the last few days. Rewatching documentaries on YT and listening to outtakes etc. I had one of the UK Island samplers in the early 90s with Time Of No Reply includesd but I can't even recall it leaving an impression. It was only a few years later when someone said I should check him out that I bought the Fruit Tree CD box set and that was me sold. Just an incredible talent. PS I do own all 3 as UK originals now which I only completed this year after almost 30 years. Cheers Nige

[@sorinvinyl1523]

Thank you! I saved the picture! Whats the best Nick Drake documentary? He is absolutely one of my favorite artists. All 3 UK originals is super impressive. I'd love to have that one day. Thanks for watching! And thanks for the AA pic! ✌☮

[@nigelcampag1290]

@@sorinvinyl1523 'A Skin Too Few' is very good Sorin and on YT. There's a couple of others worth checking but I'd start with that one. Well it took me many years to get them all but well worth the wait. Hopefully it won't take you as long. No problem on the AA info 👍
