Collection Update: Holy Grail Records Found!

[@MelindaMurphy]

When a record store owner makes a video about finding their personal grails, it catches my attention. 🤩 I thought for sure I was going to see Farm but I have no doubt that I will see it in one of your videos soon. Great Vertigo swirl labels and the Funhouse record is super cool. Take care.

[@noblerecords]

Ahhhh! I have been really really searching for Farm! I will get it one day!

[@michiganrecordclub4484]

Farm will make me cry with happiness.

[@asupremelove5149]

Enjoy it man! I'm glad it went to someone that can appreciate it.

[@noblerecords]

Which one?

Dillon - you're such a fabulous story teller and host. You make it look effortless, which for you it no doubt is, but for many is an enormous challenge that they often don't ever succeed at. Kudos man - you could talk about the weekly garbage pickup and I'd probably still watch the whole 24 mins worth. 💣

[@noblerecords]

Hahah well thanks for the kind words. I’ve talked a lot in my life, lots of experience 🤣

[@dancrank8576]

Dude you changed my life with JPT Scare Band.

[@noblerecords]

Hahah amazing, right?

[@billstutts6219]

The stooges record is so impressive, 1970 is my favorite song on fun house. I'd love to find it to jam on my stereo system.

It’s so good man!

Hey man, hello from Northern England, UK. Just discovered your channel a week or so ago and have enjoyed watching some of your older vids. so hit your little bell and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing your future vids. Love your style. Stay safe. 👍

[@billyharker9463]

Hi Dillon, Champion chat as ever! Great to hear you name checking Anne Briggs. She was an early inspiration to the Sixties folk revival here in the UK. She had plenty of friends who are well worth checking out such as Johnny Moynihan and Bert Jansch. While we're at it, you might give NIc Jones a listen, especially his album 'Penguin Eggs.'

Pfwshhhhh that virus record, absolutely love it. Huge thanks for the tip!!

[@gruverecords7957]

As a record dealer myself, watching your videos makes me feel better about my own collecting habits. I struggle with what to keep/sell at times. Especially when I buy a sweet collection where I want to keep all the cool stuff that I’m supposed to be making money on. But I guess that’s the perk of this business.

[@noblerecords]

It is a perk. I always am selling things I want to keep, and always still feel like I keep too much, but I also sell out if my collection all the time. I think it’s important to feed that craving to keep yourself passionate about it.

[@ericsummers28]

I can spot that Dust album in the background. That album is such a banger!

[@noblerecords]

Oh yes it is!

[@ronaldlongendyke3313]

Dillon, didn't mean to sound obnoxious earlier, but Roy Harper is my absolute fave. Recorded at Abbey Road, these EMI albums are incredible! He later teamed up with David Gilmour, who was the one to discover Kate Bush. I digress somewhat. Kate sang on a later Roy albums. Maybe you already know of him? Greetings from Michigan.

Your KZbin Channel rocks! You give me the impression that you're really nice and down to earth. I'm a bigtime fan of vinyl records and it's really cool when I find that anyone is enthusiastic vinyl record collector. I bought some really cool vinyl records the past 2 weeks. I'm really enjoying listening to my recently purchased vinyl records. I bought some great import vinyl records! Keep spinning the vinyl! Stay healthy and safe! Healthy and happy people are the richest in the world, as money doesn't buy health and happiness.

Around 1978 or 79, I bought Funhouse. Found it in the import section in the Discomat store in Grand Central Station in New York. It was out of print in the US and only available as a UK import. Never any of it heard it before that, but heard that it was supposed to be good and I took a chance. It completely changed the direction my music listening went into. Before that I was listening to typical 70's teen age stuff, like Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd, and liked it, but it didn't really do anything for me, but with Funhouse and the Clash's first album, those changed everything and I never went back to my old taste. It didn't take more than 5 seconds into "Down In The Streets" and I knew I found my sound, LOL. The Clash I also bought at that Discomat, which was a damned good record store. It was also import only, because that record wasn't released in the US for a long time. It was in the import bin for only $3.99, which was cheap for an import, (Funhouse was $5.99, which was a ton of money for me in 1978) and it didn't even have shrink wrap. I know you like Led Zep, but for me there was no going back to them after hearing Funhouse and the Clash.

[@noblerecords]

I hear ya! Funhouse is a favorite

[@calebhightower6676]

Just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching! Have you listened to/have a copy of Willis Alan Ramsey's self titled record from 1972? Willis dropped an all time classic record just to disappear and never release music again.. I know you'd love it based on the videos I've seen so far. My buddy found a promo copy of it a few weeks ago.. been my top (relatively easy to find) grail for a while. Cheers!

[@terryjohnson5275]

The Samurai album was re-released by Esoteric on expanded CD with three live tracks from Sweden in 1971 on it - had to get it because it has a pre Greenslade Dave Lawson on keys and vocals. As you say , a great piece of jazz rocking prog, very nice indeed.

[@joeking5310]

A lot of great stuff there. Luckily I have about half of them. Did have an original ptooff but it was a bit scratched so sent it back. The psycho re issue is just as good though as it has the fold out poster sleeve. The one I really want is the jpt scare band, been looking for one since the 90's.

[@ludwigfan3013]

I know this is gonna sound corny but I found Two of my Holy Grail's not too long ago (one on eBay and the other from this site from Germany, I'm actually still waiting on that one to get here in the mail). They're both the 7 inch 45's, one's by Jack Rainwater - White Sox Blues #2 and the other is A.C. & The Kentucky Fox Band Play With Fire/Music Man. The reason why I list those is because my dad played guitar on those records and sadly he just passed away back in January from pancreatic cancer, so I'm on a mission to get the other singles of The Kentucky Fox Band stuff. I joined discogs a few months too late cause they actually had one on there back in October. These might take me years before I see them, I guess these are my Might Baby!

[@FleagleSangria]

I love your taste, your comments on The Byrds "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" were on point. You mentioned a record on the Harvest label which made me think of Wire's banging first LP "Pink Flag". I was wondering what you think of Wire's first 3 LP's. Many consider it punk but it's not. Also I know you are hip to Peter Green and his work with John Mayall. Which of the Mayall Clapton, Green and Mick Taylor LP's do you favor? Great post and I am always happy to hear of your stooge comments, in 1970 I was a member of the French Iggy fan club with mag issues, about the only place to find Iggy info back in the day.

Variations in labels are either a difference in year, or a difference in the label (record company). Sounds to me like you may be dealing with RCA labels, which came in all three of those colors. Different years that had different colors.
