I found your channel because of one of the flea market videos really nice Joe!

Hey Joe. This video (a few previous ones you posted) has got me to thinking about how people collect. A year or so ago you made a video where you tried to define what type of collector you are and arrived at the conclusion that you are primarily a Beatles collector and were going to try and concentrate specifically to collect Beatles memorabilia. Much like yourself I identify as primarily a Beatles collector or at the very least a music collector. However I've noticed that as time has moved forward that I have pretty much dug the well dry in terms as far as my primary collecting interest is concerned. To give you an idea, I probably make one or two legitimate Beatles scores a year now which is greatly reduced from what I was accumulating in the nineteen eighties or nineties. Despite this the collecting bug itself has never left me leading me to question, "do collectors live merely to collect?" You mentioned in this video not wanting to go down the "comic book rabbit hole" and in recent videos about getting back into collecting non-Beatles vinyl. I can relate as during the pandemic, I started on basically a whim to upgrade as much of my VHS/DVD collection to Blu-Ray as possible and in three years have made decent headway. I also started to collect the novelisations of various films that I preferred as well and again made headway. Then for about six months last year what was previously a casual interest in sports memorabilia turned into a legitimate hobby where I "went down the rabbit hole" and collected numerous autographed pieces. Again though, if someone asked me what type of collector I was I would probably stated "I'm a Beatles collector" but last year I probably spent in the low three figures (if that) on Beatles and in the mid four figures on sports memorabilia. I don't regret it but there is a lot in your recent videos especially regarding rabbit holes that resonates with me. Cheers!

Thanks for understanding, and for the great comment. I do love collecting things, but obviously not everything out there!

hi joe, nice to see you checking out the flea market again, some fun stuff and those 45s looked like something i would have been interested in, depending on condition and what they had for a selection. we used to have a flea market around here, but unfortunatley its long gone. always nice to go along with you for these flea market visits, thanks for sharing, take care, rob

[@richardwhite2344]

Joe, Great to see you at the Flea Market. Hopefully next time you will find something and hope fully there will be quite few more of these until summer is over. We all know winter seems like 87 months long so you have to enjoy the summer!!

Class Mr Mayo, I seen you browse the albums and then push them back facing the browser, that's proper record store etiquette

[@markfoster4332]

The only videodisc I have is "Let it Be".

[@enricosanchez894]

When it rains, I wonder if the sellers even bother covering the records. They probably consider it the next logical step in the antiqueing process.

[@michaelhasenstein721]

I would have bought the Bing Crosby figure, but that's just me. 😊

[@MeanMrMayo]

I was thinking that too.

[@peterjohnpj2778]

even the flea markets are getting expensive ???????????????

[@farrellmcnulty909]

For used stuff? Fuck that!

[@farrellmcnulty909]

Joe, I'm just asking around to see if any of you in the VC knows whether the latest reissue of "RINGO" on vinyl was a half-speed master. I was at a record show (where you probably would have been better off 😅*) and found a copy of the 2017 vinyl reissue of RINGO and played it today as a Happy Belated Birthday thing. It sounded wonderful. I looked on Wikipedia to see if there's any reference as to how it was mastered, but couldn't turn anything up. So I put this to all of you in the vinyl community - was it or wasn't it? I've only recently found out the Giles Martin remixes have all been half-speed mastered as nothing was said about it in the ad campaigns or pre-release announcements, etc. It could be better spotlighted. It could attract more sales. Anyway, any info will be helpful - thanks.

[@MeanMrMayo]

I don't know but maybe someone else will.

[@farrellmcnulty909]
