Collection Update - Amazing Finds! 8 Mega Grails I Can’t Believe I Found!

[@trentengler791]

I literally yelled “NO!!” in my kitchen when you said “David Bowie’s first album”. That’s incredible man... the word ‘grail’ gets overused nowadays, but, these are absolute holy grail records. Good job man!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man! I am guilty of over-using the word grail. But sometimes I can’t resist !

[@cheapcheerfulrecordcollect8071]

Your finds keep getting more and more unbelievable. I believe it, it’s just... I have no words ! Enjoy !

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man!

Great show and great advice. I play Led Zeppelin for my plant’s because the lead singer’s name is Robert Plant.

i sold 2 copies of that plant record for an estate i work for. i knew it was sought after and i made them some nice bucks, but i didn't expect 14 people to contact me on the 1st day of my local ad. they all said the repress was crap and wanted an original. i can't verify that but keep your eyes peeled folks.

[@joa2340]

Sperrmüll does not mean 'garbage'. It means 'bulk disposal'. So you put large things, such as worn out cabinets or sofas, into the street and it will be picked up by a truck. It is a service by the local communities. And a big thumbs up for your show form Germany.

[@BradensArchive]

i'm interested in seeing a video about when it's safe/not safe to play a record. for example, when a record is TOO scratched to play or too scuffed to play and when it will/won't harm your needle.

[@abc123band]

I very much enjoyed the Sperrmüll record! Hope to find for my collection, thank you for the rec. :)

Some great grails Dillon. Years ago I overheard a group of serious collectors mentioning that the only mega/holy grails are the acetates (master copies)? Perhaps? I'm not sure since I'm not a serious collector. Peace to everyone.

[@noblerecords]

No! You can’t listen to acetates more than 10 times total, each time the quality deteriorates.

[@evelyneverettgreen]

Good to see you back- and you’re looking really well! I started a lockdown beard, but it’s way off yours/Gibbons brothers. Great comments about Bowie being “in those early records somewhere”. Yes- like an egg about to hatch. Greetings from Sussex, UK

You got the explanation for Sperrmüll pretty close. It's like you said mostly furniture people put on the sidewalk or in front of their houses so people can pick it up for free and larer some pick up comes along gets everything and puts it somewhere into the trash. Great finds all along dude!! Keep up the good work 👏

[@allonkesselman4067]

That's great to see a clean UK Piper. It looks like you got the stereo version. You need to get the mono version next so that you can compare and let us know which you prefer ;-)

[@johnmoreno96]

I was very lucky to be given a record collection for free and in that collection was both Sexto Rodriguez lps, Coming from Reality and Cold Fact. Both near mint originals. How great is that, I also bought the cds, love his music. Great video Thanks..☮️✌️☮️

[@parachutes6288]

I know somebody who ran a record store and used to own a full crate full of those reflections of pioneer records and would try and sell them to anyone looking for psych and gave them a good deal. He kept a few of them himself though.

[@joelpilotte5233]

I was recently given a box of records that a friend of mine found at the curb waiting to be taken to the dump. Inside was a bunch of old rock and prog rock albums (Even an original Zeppelin HOTH Ludwig press) and some older prog rock bands from Canada I had never heard of. One of the bands is called Klaatu and they were a prog rock band in early 70's. Pretty awesome to listen to these older bands that existed back in the day!

[@noblerecords]

That’s awesome! Glad you got to rescue them!

[@前橋みき]

How much did you pay for the Sugarman lp? Fabulous record

[@harmlessrebel868]

Very nice. Love the Floyd, Bowie, and Rodriguez. Did you read any of the article from the time that pretty much showed that the Sugar Man doc was basically BS. Apparently he made quite a bit of money from his music, and was touring with major acts through the 80s, he just blew the money. They also showed that he know that he he was popular is some locations and had done some shows, he again just blew the money. Doesn't take away from the music, butstill pretty interesting.

[@noblerecords]

I didn’t hear that. That makes me sad. Excellent album either way.

[@SKOTxFREE]

I found A copy of Rodriguez Coming from reality at Goodwill for $1.49 last year. I saw that thing in a pile of Latin records and when I saw it looked for cold facts but no dice but Coming from reality is a great album too.

[@sammeister6181]

Stream of consciousness comment: 1) Didn’t Rodriguez know he was famous, and actually tour South Africa in the 70s? I’ve heard that the doc exaggerated him “not knowing” he was famous. 2)Holy crap, Nico! She’s been dead for 35 years, but, hell, yeah, shout out to her. If she’d come back from the dead to trade records, Dillon would be the person who’d get to her first. 3)Piper!!! 4) The German word for constipated is “farfrompoopen”! 5) Wanda; you jerk. 6) “Steamer” 💩 💭 7) There’s also certain plants that help music grow...if you know what I mean.

[@noblerecords]

1) Didn’t know that, but a couple people have mentioned it, so that sucks. 2) NicoMalcom look him up. 3) Piper is so good 4) Wiener schnitzel 5) Wanda can choke on it. 6) Stanley Steamer/Tough on dirt, gentle on carpet 7) Hahahahahahahahahha

@@noblerecords I lived in South Africa in the 1970's and there is no way a Mexican singer was touring that country during Apartheid. Would not of happened. My Dad told me that when you went to peoples houses to visit (In South Africa) and flicked through their records. If they had a Rodriguez album, you knew they were anti Apartheid.

Your videos are a testament to the popularity of rock records in this era, especially 70's sounds. I recall you with a few subscribers. Rodriguez, great movie, fairy tale. Music, not for me, average. When I get early OG Floyd's they often end up in Russia, as to why? I wonder how many plant growing Lp's there are, I think I have 4 from the 70's, my Phantasia lacks the booklet.

Have you ever seen an original American pressing of Piper at the gates of dawn which included “ see Emily play”

The USA version has it, but the UK doesn’t. It was a single in the UK, not featured on the album. Look up the differences between the USA tower and the UK Columbia. Tower omitted 3 songs off the album completely.

I'm good with my 2018 mono reissue of Piper on vinyl that I paid like 70 bucks for, it sounds incredible and came with a nice poster and a beatiful extra cover . The cheapest original UK copy on Discogs is now around $500 so, no thanks! There is a thin line between making a nice collection and trowing away more money than common sense tells you.

[@noblerecords]

Different strokes for different folks my friend. Some would say paying $70 for a reissue is throwing money away. Also, I didn’t pay anywhere near $500 for this copy. Also at that mentality, why buy a nice car? Just drive a $500 car, it gets you from point A to B. It’s not a waste of money if it’s valuable to you.

You’re complicating it. In the record community, it means just a record you’ve really wanted and is hard to find. If you want to get technical, if you look it up in the dictionary, the first definition is that it’s the cup Jesus drank out of at the last supper, the second definition is “ A thing that is being earnestly pursued or sought after”
