[@Dirceu501]

These meetings ( Convention ) make us live better...long life to all record sellers and buyers

[@noblerecords]

Haha yes!

[@markfoster4332]

I've collected 45's since I was a teen (70's)! It's my favorite part of vinyl collecting.

[@vinylreckoning]

I was spoilt, man. I went almost every year for YEARS. It was always a good time. That city shaped me.

[@mazzysmusic]

Fun video and some cool ass stuff you got. So cool to finally meet you Dillon ✌🏼

[@noblerecords]

Great to meet you too sir! Hopefully our paths will cross again!

[@mortenaastad796]

Thanks for letting us come with Dillon. Nice to see you with Matt and Mazzy. Looked like a lot of fun! Cheers from Morten over in Denmark

[@groovingonvintagevinyl7840]

Looks like a cool record show! I like all the obscure and world music you find. It's cool to hear something different you've never heard before even if it's old.

[@terriatmore1133]

Loved this video, Dillon! I've always wanted to go to the Austin Record Convention but plans seem to fall through. It was cool seeing Matt Kessler, Massie, etc. in your video! Glad you had a good time!

[@PGRPGRPG]

Hi Dylan, great vid as usual !! ❤ love your Noble record Music UNDERGROUND FIRE WE can make IT!! Gorgious!!! Thanks

[@Dannyraytheschenkerlounge]

Excellent, excellent vid sir, one of your finest in recent memory. Love how your body cam makes it look like folk are dancing as your moving! Wish we had a fair like this in the UK.

[@danielb8877]

Thanks for the heads up on Scruffy Duffy, what an awesome album!

[@musicinthehouse]

Ka-dang! Some finds on top of finds. Thank you for taking us on the Austin journey.

[@TheZeekgeek1]

Dillon, I agree that ARC is a little bit overwhelming! I've never made it all the way through all the booths there. Place is huge. Congrats on your awesome scores.

[@seekingathread]

You went for it and succeeded. A bunch of great adds to the collection. For my money, the best thing about these shows is the meetups with fellow VC'ers. Its what truly makes the trip worthwhile. Big ups on the Jesper Silva's Giant Steps, a favorite for sure.

[@asupremelove5149]

Awesome stuff buddy and such nostalgia for me. I haven't been to that show since 2008. Definitely want to go back.

[@okalright8980]

Awesome video D thanks for sharing.

[@200crates]

great footage , good talk , i miss the ARC , i went in 2015 , bought a car load of records ( 45's and LP's ) , was there the 3 days , open to close , had to send them all back air mail . awesome time , i do remember how tired i was too , exhausting but was in my element no doubt

[@hippydippy]

Nice Haul! I checked out some samples as you went through them & the one that really perked my ear's was the "Blizzard" 45 - Be Myself. Wow! The "Brown Acid" releases are a just amazing!

[@80sDudeTV]

Thanks for making this video, been wanting to go to this show, but just have not had a chance yet. Great to see conventions like this are happening. Spent a considerable time traveling to Austin, love it out there!

[@noblerecords]

Yeah it was great!!

[@stack_of_records]

Good finds!

[@mlblue5355]

Seems like a blast! Congratulations on your finds!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man!

[@vincentbernard7504]

Great Video Dylan ! Your meet with VC is showing joy and friendship. Keep on rocking in the free world !

[@noblerecords]

Thank you 🙏 it was a blast!

[@kingelvis1956]

Thank you for another awesome video, Dylan! I loved this one because of the show scenes and hearing about (and seeing) the interesting purchases you made. I have been collecting records since 1977 when I was 15 years old. For as young as you are, I am blown away by how much knowledge that you have accumulated! You talk about groups and single artists whom I have never heard of before. You are amazing and I really enjoy your videos and feel like I gain a little more education with each one that you do.

[@noblerecords]

I appreciate it! There’s lots more that know lots more than me!

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Great video, awesome pickups.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks maaaan!

[@manu_sanz]

OMG! Triana! Never imagined I would see a record of that band being known out of Spain. They were from my home town (Seville), and my father's favourite band, back in the 70s (he had their albums in cassette). Enjoy them!

[@nigelcampag1290]

Bonkers stuff Dillon, killing it there with those buys. I've had one chance to get Scruffy Duffy here in the UK and foolishly didn't. Nice copy for £150 which was the going rate at the time but like most rarities its price has gone up further in recent years. That was certainly a who's who of the YT crowd at the fair. Cheers Nigel

[@maximumrnb66]

Fantastic stuff Dillon-a great insight into this record show..Wow some amazing mouthwatering titles on show ( 13th Floor Elevators to start !)....Thank you from the UK for sharing this..Great stuff 👍👍👍👍

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@bf9616]

Loved the video! I wish someday I could go there!

[@noblerecords]

I hope you can someday !

[@djtrishm]

Great Video Dylan! Thumbs up! Trish

[@noblerecords]

Hey! Thanks Trish!

[@VinylPiper]

so nice.. I have a super clean og of pax.. it's an amazing album and such a great cover.. i need that Growing Concern!! You took stuff I wanted from the LSD records booth :( great finds dylan!!

[@tokyorecordstyle]

Hello from Tokyo! Long time watcher, first time commenter! Thanks for the great video! Super comprehensive overview. Best I’ve seen yet! Would love to go next yeah. Have some roots in nearby(ish) Oklahoma. Hope to meet someday. If you come to Tokyo, look me up!

[@noblerecords]

I would like to come to Tokyo someday!

[@tokyorecordstyle]

@@noblerecords the dollar is at a 30 year advantage to the yen at the moment. $1 = ¥150. Should come soon :-)

[@audiooddities9982]

I see someone i know, and several people I know of, lol! Glad you had a good time!

[@noblerecords]

Thank you 🙏

[@OGeniusTheFirst]

It was great to see you out here this time, Dillon. Thanks for being a pillar to the community, and making us "outsiders" feel like we are welcome. Thanks for the recommendation on "Translucent World" too. Hope to see you around!

[@noblerecords]

Hey! Hope you like it! I’m sure you do!

[@avill171]

It was great to meet you at the show! Hopefully you can make it back for the next one!

[@noblerecords]

We will see!

[@TheVinylverse]

Awesome 45s! Those Triana records are great. I like their first one the best. I very much enjoyed all of the footage and your recap of the convention. Looked like a blast especially the meetups. It must've been a whirlwind. I'm coming down to Charlotte the second or third week in June and am hoping to pop in to say hi.

[@noblerecords]

Yes sir! Keep me posted!

[@georgearnold8573]

Great stuff I just got my self a copy of cult the mail must go through Great record

[@jasonbridge4204]

Great video. Definitely going to try and visit your store, from the UK soon!!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks! Hope you can make it out!

[@aaronhatch1226]

Shoot! I’ll be there next year!

[@padraigcollins6525]

I went to the Austin record fair in 2001, when it coincided with SXSW. It was so huge. It’s nice to be reminded of it.

[@noblerecords]

It was a blast!

[@jmfloyd23]

My first time going was in 2009 I went as a dealer. It was a memorable experience. The highlight for me was meeting John Pickering. He his brother and another gentleman sang background on buddy holly’s music.

[@dimebagdave77]

Thanks man✌️

[@jinedo58]

Great video. Glad you stopped at my buddies from Pharr Out Records booth. It’s my favorite shop down here in the Rio Grande valley and I’m sure you will enjoy the Estaban (Steve ) Jordan album.

[@noblerecords]

Yeah I’m excited to hear it, super nice dudes!

[@NicholasOsella]

I was there, too! SloLow had an amazing booth. I picked up a UK copy of Bitches Brew from them...awesome stuff.

[@noblerecords]

Oh yeah! Too much good stuff!

[@lauher21]

Finally some Greek music Dillan, so cool OPA

[@The-Danish-Record-Hunter]

Awesome that you found some Ache in Texas. One of the best prog rock groups from my native Denmark. Actually, it's not the original one you found, but the 1976 repress/compilation of their first two albums.

[@fatmanhikes]

I went 25 yrs ago, i remember it advertised as having over a million items for sale, vinyl, cds, posters, ect.

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

Worth the trip for the banana record alone.

[@TooManyRecords]

We have a copy of the dog cover Duffy going out for our 2-year! Such a cool album. Awesome video, man. I wanted to make one, but I was also overwhelmed and wanted to really focus on grabbing cool stuff for the shop/myself (if possible) -- but you're here to show me that it's possible to do both! I'll get on your level one day, brother. So nice to get to kick it throughout the weekend, was a lovely surprise to see you.

[@noblerecords]

Haha well, I did my best. Hopefully we will link up again in under 5 years 🤣

[@DJboutit2]

I have been to the Austin Record Convention 6 times I only go to the spring show. I love seeing sellers with really good $1 to $3 records and a few sellers with killer $4 to $5 records I never send more that $7 on a record now. There is always this guy with the best selection and condition late 60s to early 80s RnB Soul Funk $4 to $8 records always priced at $20 to $25 I never saw anybody buying any from him. There is a killer record store in Central MO that has a amazing selection of $1 and $3 record I always try to stop by once ever 3 to 3 1/2 months.

[@noblerecords]

Yeah some dealers are more fair than others

[@Sickerthansick]

Man I was gonna go but had some work stuff come up, I’ll be there in October for sure!

[@dennisehli3796]

I went the two previous years .. What a great time

[@noblerecords]

Yeah it’s wild!

[@jakepayton]

killer content as always!

I'm Remembering at 18 Warping Bad Albums in a Warm Oven & Then Returning Them 4 Good Albums in The Early 70s.Ever Hear of That Practice Dillon?

[@dg723254]

renaciemento = renaissance. Hoped you enjoyed Texas!

[@mjg086]

Super glad to see you get into the world of 45s, that Cross Bloods one is fantastic. There's so many killer private press tracks out there where the original 7" really does sound way better than any compilation or digitized recording; absolutely worth the crazy prices in my opinion lol. Aside from non-LP tracks, you can also find a lot of great mono mixes and alternate stereo mixes, especially for the more common bands like the Beatles, Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane. Some of my Doors 45's are the best experience I've ever had hearing the particular songs, and I can't even figure out why... just killer pressings. Not to mention all the great picture sleeves that are out there.

[@noblerecords]

Yes! I’ve been collecting unique zeppelin 45s for a long time. But I’m glad to find some new stuff

[@booieaguilar4792]

That Parliament record is cool as hell. I just picked that up for RSD exclusive. Definitely a funky album that people should listen too. . . Specifically automobile 🤣🤣🤣

[@noblerecords]

Yes! Great album!

[@paulmayo6006]

Haha, I know Hadley and Jeremy really well, glad you were able to find some good stuff. I try in vain to keep their warehouse in order.

[@noblerecords]

Oh awesome! Good dudes!

[@topekasub]

You scored bro!

Matt has had a KZbin channel for years.

[@PowRKord]

Nice 2 hear U finally made it. We went 4x as dealers @ '05 & '06. Strange times; we didn't do well. Was middle of "will vinyl survive or not" era. Buyers paradise; dealer's bloodbath. Q: Is it still known as Doug Hanner's show?

[@noblerecords]

I don’t think so, never heard of him

[@shortfuseartstudio]

Heyyyy! You walked by my booth. I was selling my art in the corner. I'm in this video for just a second or two. It was cool seeing you in person. I had a feeling that was you!

[@noblerecords]

I saw those! Very cool!

[@vinylritchie1974]

Heavy 7s from Lance! For just getting started on 7s u got some real heat.

[@noblerecords]

Haha thank you!

[@JohnMacRae23]

The greek progressive rock lp you showed is AKRITAS, great great record.

[@millopguy]

Cool video

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@buck7477]

Yes, it’s very overwhelming, I go every year but Dangit I missed this one forgot all about it. Works a Bear! I heard Cub Koda used to go these conventions, before my time! Have you ever heard the album from Eddie Hazel Dames Games and guitar thangs? It’s a great guitar jam album I have the 9 track but I think the vinyl is also rare.😮

[@noblerecords]

Yes! I have a real nice promo copy! Amazing record!

[@manuelmartinez-fd7dc]

Very funny your spanish pronunciation 🤣Triana is one of the most loved bands here in Spain, and became a legend once its vocalist died in a car accident. I have all its albums. Best wishes from Spain

[@noblerecords]

Haha I know a lot of Spanish words but the pronunciation is hard on the tricky ones 🤣

NC-based too and been wanting to go to the ARS. Finally decided that this October was the year, only to find out F1 is in town and hotels are bonkers. Perhaps 2025 will be the year🤞

[@noblerecords]

Yeah it’s wild 🤣

[@gijoe7506]

Best things about those big record shows is: that you know they have your grails but you only have to find them 😂 and don’t think I get it later because you can’t find it anymore or it’s been sold 😬.

[@darrinfizer3547]

That Zipper shirt is awesome. I need that in my life. Where can it be procured from?

[@kipbrown6936]

Hey! That's me at 30:24 in the ATX hat! I think you bought an Epitaph LP from me?

Hey! Awesome! Thank you! You had a great booth!

[@ZONERBAND]

AKRITAS (Pronounced Acreetas) MY holy grail...had it on cd pressings and vinyl reissue until i found it at a fairly reasonable price (still,the most i paid for a record) AWESOME

[@noblerecords]

Oh thanks so much!

[@casablanca2745]

Great stuff Dylan. The Jerry Williams 45, he’s AKA Swamp Dogg right?

[@robertmitchell6015]

Great finds are these for your collection or the shop

[@noblerecords]

Most for my collection

[@greghawkins229]

Just at our record convention here in Alabama is overkill for me. I can’t imagine being at the one in Austin

[@muncheesuppar]

i go to as many as i can in australia and i still haven't found a copy of 2 records i have been chasing for more than 20 years of my 2 favourite aussie bands , i have been searching for a copy of aussie thrash band Masssappeal's Nommo Annagonno and rock band Splatterheads Ink of a mad mans pen . i will keep searching for my holy grail.

[@deancronin6934]

I hope Brown Acid releases an album with only Woman in the titles as those are usually Brain melters, Dillon will you do an annual trip to this convention? Or go even bigger and go to Den Bosch in Europe?

[@noblerecords]

Haha that’s great! I’d love to go to Den Bosch, maybe one day!

Found that Thad Jones a few years back and it pays dividends every time it plays.

Hey Dylan. Great video. You dropped some coinage there! Are you gonna re-issue that Underground Fire record on your label? Would be sweet.

[@franksmusic2880]

The S.O.U.L. album is an excellent funk album, I have it only on cd for many years now. The Mail must be delivered was pretty standard R&B funk, I’m not seeing what’s so collectible about it except that it’s hard to find. I think some of the synths give it a dated sound. The Juju album was way out there for me. The Starveu album I never heard of but sampled, I would not have paid that price, another standard sounding R&B album.

[@noblerecords]

Alright, Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@barnettkeven9320]
