Chris Finds Things (45 rpm VINYL RECORDS from the 1950s/1960s)

[@bipbopboom]

Cool box Chris! Looks like a lot of fun! A few gems in there for sure! Right Behind You Baby is a fave track of mine. Score!!! Cheers!!

[@RekkidTalk]

The Bing Crosby kind of stuff was on top, but once I started digging I knew there were some keepers in that box. I think I said in the video, but Ray Smith grew up pretty close to where I currently live.

[@Davidicus-m8c]

great video, chris, some real obscure artists and songs!! cool sun records too!

[@RekkidTalk]

Yes, usually these boxes of 45s for a set price have nothing good in them.

[@phillipshoemaker7907]

Great finds at a good price.

[@RekkidTalk]

Yep, lucked out with this one.

[@onmyturntable7036]

Sometimes we get lucky with this type of purchase, Chris! The King 45's alone are worth it, along with those other independent label releases. I find that those 45's from the 50's and 60's hold up pretty well despite the surface noise, since they basically were considered disposable and not to be cared for in the long term (the horror!). Plus, one can never have enough Bobby Sherman! Thanks for sharing this find!😎

[@RekkidTalk]

Yeah, older 45s often sound fine after a trip through the rekkid cleaning machine even if they look rough. Of the ones I've spun so far, they've played better than they look, and The Music Machine from the later 60s was hardly played and looks & sounds great.

@@RekkidTalk Excellent!

[@TheAnarchitek]

I still have around 500 singles, from the early 'Sixties through the early 'Eighties, now mostly picture sleeves from '64-'76.

[@RekkidTalk]

I like the older picture sleeves when you can find them intact.

[@TheAnarchitek]

@@RekkidTalk Mine are in plastic sleeves made for 45s. They're all intact.

[@mistery-ed7900]

Best $20 you ever spent!?!? Really cool stuff. I've got some of those..Norma and Linda! Deane Hawley actually did one of my aunt's songs, The Mummy's Bracelet!

[@RekkidTalk]

Plus I have several dozen rekkids (not shown) that are terrible! Maybe I can spend $10 and send them to you, haha. Cool that you know about artists like Norma & Linda that are new to me.

[@mistery-ed7900]

@@RekkidTalk I don't need anymore extra 45s! My closest Goodwill is gonna be getting about a hundred of mine soon enough. No room! Rekkid store for the better ones. Trying to make room for better ones I want to keep forever.

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Chris!!! cool finds, the box was a nice surprise at a fair price.... are you going to sell some of those 45's?? You can really make a good profit. cheers and be well

[@RekkidTalk]

I probably won't, but it's nice to know I did find some stuff that would be worth selling.

[@TommysVinylnaut]

Wow! Great deal. I wish that I could find a box of schlager singles in 20 euros. They should use color codes in records also in now... Black for Black metal...hmm.. other colors are more difficult...

[@RekkidTalk]

Video idea: Color coding records in 2024.

[@TommysVinylnaut]

@@RekkidTalk Yeah, I was thinking this.

[@VinylSerenity]

Hi Chris. You could do a video called " Vinyl by the Pool"....man that box is amazing dude. True hunting really pays off. Although, I will be asking for royalty check for using my polka record label on your channel. (Jay Jay Records)

[@RekkidTalk]

I'd be happy to share those yellow polka Christmas rekkids with one of my loyal viewers. 🎅🎄

[@Thevinylscavenger]

I wonder do you still have active jukeboxes there in bars? That was quite a haul and a bargain price worth risking it. Lots stood out and of course this stuff rarely ends up over here. It's pretty rare to see even sun rekkids too. America sure feels odd and strange at times to me but I've never been there so I'd be glad it's technically the same language for a start.

[@RekkidTalk]

Bars with jukeboxes tend to have modern versions where you are just playing mp3 files. I haven't seen an old-school jukebox in a bar in a long time. Yes, America is odd and strange. This box had a lot of stuff that you don't typically find. There's actually going to be a Part 2 with a few things I didn't show yet, once I get around to making it.

Record collecting becones a mental illness, once greed sets on.
