Another $1 Banger Record Haul | These Were CLEAN!

[@ConcertBuddie]

You had me at that Bobby Womack in shrink with hype. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@beerandvinyl]

yes sir!! I haven't listened but will tonight!

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Awesome

[@dennislind8411]

Wow. Fantastic haul. Just the Procol Harum albums alone....

[@beerandvinyl]

Yes! Thanks Dennis!

[@bbchronicles736]

Wow! Great haul, especially the Procol Harum and Moody Blues stuff. Amazing that you were able to get all those records in such great condition for a buck each. I didn't think that was possible in these high price days.

[@beerandvinyl]

every once in a while we can get lucky! They're sounding fantastic. Thanks so much

[@darcyska]

Those finds are AMAZING!!!

[@beerandvinyl]

Heck yeah!!

[@Mfidelity]

Great finds! Love those $1 records.

[@beerandvinyl]

Heck yeah! Thanks Dave!

[@HoLLyWoOd64648]

that’s so cool being able to get $1 records!

[@MGKBOSTON]

So great for a dollar Alex! You have shown some pretty amazing finds over time, and I remember an album you shared a while back that was a big value on Discogs. The sleeve was demolished but the record was pristine. Procul Harum! I love the Live record you sent me Alex. I don’t have one Moody Blues on vinyl. That’s simply due to the fact that I got into them in the early 90s when I was switching to CDs. I have at least 6 albums. Big fan. Shaft! Incredible bargain! ✌️

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks Mike! I’m looking forward to the dig at Revolver! Lucky for you you can get pretty much all the moody blues for $3 each!

[@JackTheMusicGuy]

wow! great jokes here lol!!!!

[@beerandvinyl]

I make the jokes for you Jack!

[@richards5280]

Hey Alex- Holy Bargain Bins, Batman…😲 To get a prog-loaded pile like that for under $20??? Ya done good!! I know OF Horslips but not heard that album- I remember seeing a great many of those in the cut-out bins back in the day. I need more Nazareth 🤔👍 Enjoy those finds- heck, I know you will! Cheers-R

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks Richard! Listening to this Horslips now and it's nothing like I expected. Kind of just sounds like late 70s rock to me. Not bad, but not what I thought!

[@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486]

What a great haul. You can find most of the Moody Blues albums in the dollar bin which is kind of sad because it just shows how under appreciated they are compared to bands like King Crimson and Gentle Giant. Or maybe it speaks to how well their albums sold back in the day? I have never checked out Procol Harum but you are giving me reason to seek them out now. Great video!

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks Jeff! They're everywhere, but what a great way to pick up most of a collection for super cheap! Procol Harum kind of falls into the same-ish boat of early, proto progressive, but more blue eyed soul influenced than psych moodies. Shine on Brightly and a Salty Dog are must haves. Also their live record with the Edmonton symphony orchestra is always a dollar hollar and strong!

[@TheSpiritofVinyl]

Can't go wrong for a dollar, cool stuff man

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks brother!

[@TheVinylLoungeMtl]

Hey Alex, wow $1 Mondays, my kinda day… Love Billy, I have that Procol 71 reissue mint that got for $1 as well, Brown A&M, 10CC, Moody on KTEL? First time I see it… Sur la Mer (On the Ocean), Just got Shaft mint for $1 last week, Got Nazareth & 3 Strawbs albums for $1 each as well, great hawl Man, well done, cheers 🍻

[@beerandvinyl]

Tell me more about your mint shaft... HA!

[@TheVinylLoungeMtl]

@ That Mont Shaft would get me a strike and you know it 🎶🎶🎶

[@FrankJett-u1d]

Nice $1 pickups Alex. Among my favorites are Grand Hotel, 10 cc and Time Passages. You should checkout Al Stewart's early recordings such as Past,Present and Future and Modern Times, they are also excellent.

[@beerandvinyl]

I will have to do that with Al! I'm excited to get into Grand Hotel - I've never actually heard it!

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Alex!!! Unless you got a wrapped record or with lots of source noise, those 18 records looks awesome..... and $1 each!!! That's what i call a Procol Harum and Moody Blues haul, don't know that much about their studio catalogue, but they seems to be a great addition to the collection. Yeah!! i remember the "Year of the Cat" from an old comp i think it's still around..... cheers and be well

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks Cristian! It’s been great digging into these this week!

[@stereo999]

Great Procol Harum records for sure

[@beerandvinyl]

I'm excited to dig into them!

[@booieaguilar4792]

I've been so broke, I haven't bought too much in the last couple months. I pre ordered the Okonski, and the Sure Fire Soul Ensemble pre order today lol. Good shit bro!

[@beerandvinyl]

Yesss got that too!! I also fucked up and ordered some of those signed parlor greens and scone cash players shit!

[@booieaguilar4792]

@beerandvinyl I've been eyeballing some of the new 45's, and I'll probably get them on payday but other then that. I'm waiting for the new Altons record that comes out on Valentines day. It's a Penrose records release but Colemine has a exclusive varient, And the Altons are part of Thee Sinseers 😁. It's a group inside a group lol

[@catherine6653]

I am a Billy Joel fan. I have listened to Billy Joel since I was a kid. I have seen Billy Joel in concert twice. I like Al Stewart too. Time Passages single is a masterpiece. I have his compilation album.

[@beerandvinyl]

It's great stuff! And yes, I will not stand for the Billy Joel hate. Thanks Catherine!

[@ethan-c093]

Billy Joel is great does not deserve any hate, great finds overall.

[@beerandvinyl]

I agree! Thanks so much

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

Can't find $1 here, but $2 are still available. I would like to think I started the hate on Billy, but I know there are others out there who share my disdain for the Piano Man. That is a very clean copies of Procol, and all pretty good albums. I was going to say, the only 'Whoosh' I have is by Deep Purple..... I'm old enough I bought "Rubber Bullets" on 45. I actually have 'The Present' and yes, like many Moody covers, it is very cool. Thanks for the shout out! I actually like that album more than 'Hair of the Dog.' Yes, 'Year of the Cat' is very underrated. and 'Time Passages' is pretty good. I need to make a road trip to Columbus. Cheers!

[@beerandvinyl]

I swear it wasn't directed AT you! I listed to Grand Hotel this morning and really liked it. 10cc was last night.. man. that was a wild record. Good ot hear on the Nazareth record.. i'll be diving into that soon enough. Thanks Steve!

[@AisForAliceBisForBob]

@@beerandvinyl I would prefer it was directed at me, like I said, "I like to think I'm the one who started the hate for the Piano Man." Narcissists unite!

[@jasonsayre84]

I stopped by spoonful records when i was in Columbus last year. Only had about 15 minutes but their prices were incredible. I could have done alot of damage if i had more time lol

[@beerandvinyl]

I have gotten a number of wild records for great prices from there. Columbus stores know they are competing with each other, which helps people like me. Typically their used prices are VERY good. Do some more damage next time and take me with you!

[@limomangeno]

Yeah man ,you did hit pay day...I wish I could get those albums for a BUCK...in nice condition....Crazy...

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks so much! They got me elsewhere. of course.. but at least these were good deals!

[@stereo999]

Keep your eyes peeled for promo copies of Moody Blues Octave on blue vinyl. They usually have a hype sticker on the front

[@stereo999]

'This is the Moody Blues' has the single mix of Question different from the album version

[@jameswilson7084]

@@stereo999 And the non-album B-Side, "A Simple Game".

[@beerandvinyl]

Oh that's very cool! I appreciate these recs! That's awesome

[@Americanasam1994]

Painting their walls white, that's a line haha

[@beerandvinyl]

did you get a visual Sam... (I hope not)

[@Americanasam1994]

@beerandvinyl it burns my eyes to think 😞

[@jasonarsenault3791]

Yep. I need to own something from those moody blues fellas.

[@beerandvinyl]

I am surprised you haven't picked any up at your local hole!

[@AnthonyGambler812]

Good stuff Alex, I’m one of those Billy Joel haters! I just don’t enjoy his music. On the other hand I love Isaac Hayes! Hopefully you have “Hot Buttered Soul,” “By the Time I get to Phoenix,” is off the charts good! Scores for $1 my friend!

[@beerandvinyl]

As you know, Hot Butter Soul has me in a chokehold in the kinkiest of ways!

[@AnthonyGambler812]

@ thata boy!

[@Foul_Quince]

The economics of Billy Joel would be interesting - you've got a lot of competing and contradictory factors here. He sold shedloads of albums, so you'd think scarcity wouldn't be a problem. On the other hand, he's the kind of artist who is beloved by multiple generations, so it's not like folks are giving the albums they have up. Then again, he sold most of his records in the CD era, so the later albums were predominantly not vinyl sales, but then on the other hand (that's 4 hands so far! I should be a Piano man), his generations aren't quite at the point where estate sales would be pushing his records into lower-end markets. 5 years from now you won't be able to move for copies of The Stranger filling up the racks. Of course, your local vinyl economy might be different from the Australian one, where it is much scarcer altogether. Apropos of less lofty thoughts, I actually dig a bit of ringwear. I like to call it provenance.

[@beerandvinyl]

I totally agree with this assessment! It's like a Fleetwood Mac situation. No scarcity but there are 16-24 year olds who absolutely love Billy. I feel like even as little as 5 years ago these were all $2-3 records.. not so much anymore. Provenance.. I'm going to use that! Cheers!

[@RichStrickler]

Nice job defending Billy Joel. He does take a lot of crap. Turnstiles is solid. Love that Moody Blues comp. I've had that for almost 50 years. Great songs!!! Agreed that Al Stewart is underappreciated. Good pickups Alex.

[@beerandvinyl]

Thanks Rich!

[@jameswilson7084]

The Moody Blues' "The Present", from 1983, was the album after their great 1981 "Long Distance Voyager" album. It was largely a disappointment. I love the singles "Sitting At The Wheel" and "Blue World", but it was disappointing overall. They didn't bring "the songs" for that album. "Long Distance Voyager" was their last great album, but they had more great singles, until 1991. Some of those unreleased songs on "Caught Live + 5" are pretty good. I love "Long Summer Days". "This Is The Moody Blues" is one of the very best LP comps. I love the way the songs crossfade into each other.

[@beerandvinyl]

I'm not expecting much, but still excited to dig in! Even mediocre to bad Moodies is still better than most. Thanks James
