Went way over my budget. The story of every record collector.

[@noblerecords]

Yup

For. Real.

[@douglasbauerle4139]

I'm glad you were happy with the 13th Floor Elevators record. I'm glad I could get you a clean copy!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!!!! It was a pleasure! Keep me In mind when you get some goodies!

[@dmbhurley]

Dude! I got youtube rabbit holed into some of your videos a few nights ago. This one in particular, was incredible. Loved the way you presented these. I made a Spotify playlist right away and I have truly enjoyed listening to these gems at the office over the past several days. Loved that Parish Hall album particularly.

[@bf9616]

Love this 'grail find videos', thanks for the recomendations!

Thank you from France

[@kevinhone465]

I am in awe of your knowledge

[@baq8680]

Great video Dylan... I can honestly say, not only have I never heard of any of those albums, I've never heard of any of the artists either!! Man I live a sheltered life...

[@jaypink2696]

Wow... I've looked at everything you've managed to find and priced it on discogs. I'm so envious of the budget you must have had..!! Dream stuff...!

Dude ,never apologise for showing you love what your into.. Share and spread your love for the vinyl..

[@jammanist]

Awesome records you got there. Thanks for sharing !!!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks!

[@shaulanthony7157]

Thanks for the great recommendations! I'm a big fan of 70's era Prog. I'm really into the more well-known bands, Pink Floyd, Genesis,Yes, King Crimson. But I'm just now beginning to discover some of the more rare gems vinyl collecting community

[@josepherbstoesser4196]

You finally got Toad!!! I have been listening to that album nonstop since you first recommended it on your channel, my personal favorite listen of this year so far.

[@noblerecords]

Yesssss! 🐸

[@samantharatti9196]

Woah I can’t believe I just stumbled upon this! That Truth and Janey came straight from my mom’s collection. It wasn’t the easiest to let go of but maaan seeing your face made it all worth it!! So stoked you won it

[@noblerecords]

Ah! Thanks! Didn’t know it came from you! Sincerely appreciate it!

[@HD41117]

Dude, this was so awesome. I put on the Magnum, Fully Loaded in the background, poured myself a whisky and savoured your sharing all these magnificent grails. Yeah you sped up, no need for that, man. This could have been an hour long and it would still have been a pleasure to experience your enthusiasm for all your finds. Subbed. My grail is currently to find a vinyl store in the vacinity that actually sells decent records. I'm adding this to my favourites, because I know that when I'm feeling disillusioned about vinyl collecting, this will pick me back up. Cheers, good sir!

[@jeffthrow6892]

Soooo damn much amazing stuff here, wow.......I was aware of most of these but you've given me a few things to check out for sure......

[@mikec81]

Orang-Utan was originally a band called Hunter. That album was recorded in a single afternoon! Their manager stole the master and ran off to the USA and released it secretly under the name Orang-Utan. The band never received a penny.

[@dotsloops7486]

Gad Zooks!!!! There are Grail videos, and then there’s this video! How many times can your Jaw drop!!! Well done sir, you might as well pack up and call it a Bingo, this Turkey is done cooked!!! Whoa!!! Cheers for shoutout pal! And Congrats! Truth and Janey! Damn your devil eyes!

[@stephansavage9786]

First off, I need to use that term, Gad Zooks more often. Lol. I agree with dots and loops. Mind blowing pick ups!

[@digitalcow]

[@pqodbenliah]

I always discover great stuff tuning into your channel. Congrats on the grails! Picked up a few myself this week. A minty first press of Dead Skeletons - Dead Magick and a nice copy of The Holydrug Couple - Awe.

Top 25 Holy Grail Records. This Epic video should have more views. Thank You

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@mickschnabel]

I LOVE discovering these bands, thanks to you! that Brief Encounter IS dope (along w/ Magnum too of course), and really digging Toad , Nurt and Parish Hall. Thanks for all the great vidz bro

[@noblerecords]

You’re welcome

[@icollectstuff-vinylcommuni7294]

This are AMAZING! Super cool finds pal! Now you should find Herman Stone records.

[@piotrdubiel7214]

Hey Dillon, been binge watching your videos for a while... love'em! I live in Poland and can confirm that Nurt doesn't grow on trees here! It was a relatively small pressing compared to the standard pressing size at the time, and it's pretty sought after in Poland in general, and especially in their home town of Wrocław. In spite of being from 1973, there are both mono and stereo pressings (I have both). And like most Polish records, a) the cover is always whipped, and b) it's hard to find it in decent shape, as people didn't always have access to decent gear, and there are so many old records here with groove damage. Plus, hard rock records got partied to, vodka flowed, things got scratched. Oh... one more thing! While the word "nurt" does indeed mean trend, the primary meaning is current-like a river, not electricity (that's a different word). So when we use it to talk about trends, we're talking about a stream. In fact, "główny nurt" literally means "mainstream". There ya go, some perfectly useless nerdy info for ya! Thanks for all the vids! PS: This was never released back in the day, so you can only find it as a newer archival release, but I totally recommend Grupa Stress-a hard rocking power trio from Poznań (where I have lived for a decade) from the early 1970s!

[@usvsalltheothers]

Can’t believe how clean that Eternity’s Children record is, been looking for that for years!

[@hubtunes9607]

Fantastic 🎼

[@neuroisis85]

A mighty haul, woo that's some rare stuff you grabbed there. Can't even imagine how much you spent on all those

[@tyleranderson1168]

[@stevekosak8624]

Super cool video man!!! I can't wait to dig into that Magnum lp found it on you yube!That is a bold statement about maggot brain😆 but you have turned me on to some great stuff ! Not only do i slobber over your promos i use your vids to find new sounds and i thank you for that🤘again great vid!!!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks man! Yes I’m stoked!

[@jasonjodie1]

I was intrigued by Toad so I checked them out and WOW! Really impressed by their sound, they remind me a lot like the band Budgie.

[@agreyindividual7199]

I love seeing how big you smile talking about these groups that I don’t even know yet. You truly love this stuff and it shows. That’s the best part. Also, my camera roll is peppered with screenshots of you holding up jackets 👍. My one grail that I’ve actively been hunting is Deftones’ 2011 Vinyl Collection. I know its newer and I know its more mainstream but the hobby is relatively new to me. The limited nature of the release has kept it out of reach. I’ve never seen one in the wild and the ones online I think are too far inflated

[@noblerecords]

Yeah some of theirs can be tough to find! Thanks for watching! 🤘

[@vinylobscurity]

Great video! - A couple of my grail stories: I bought the Socrates at a local record store back in 2016 - walked up to the counter with my stack to pay and looked over behind the counter in a bookshelf was a lonely Socrates in clean EX/EX condition. Scooped it up. Found a Sealed original of the Purple Image back in 2019, wow, the cover artwork and there are a couple of boomers on that one for sure!

[@noblerecords]

Wow!!!

[@vinyl_sauce]

Love, love, love this video! I must know, how is it that you've been able to amass such an encyclopedic knowledge of music, are there certain avenues or search engines you utilize, and if so which ones would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

[@noblerecords]

The biggest way I learn is from making friends who are smarter than me!

I have Eternitys' Children. It IS good! Love your channel (especially your collection) [and that chair!]. Gotta be comfy for listening! I was a keyboard player before my life went away about 30 years ago, when I lost my other half. Now a refined recluse, specializing in non-existance. Have a 1938 Hammond BC wired for 3 Leslie 147s and a tone cabinet out of a church. [IE -- the nomenclature BC.] Modified Korg M1, & Ensoniq EPS Sampler w/ memory expansion. (Where the records come in) I only have a couple of tons of vinyl, 33,45,78... Rarest is a August 23, 1902 of Caruso singing Ave' Maria with a full orchestra. According to to serial on the inside... one take! Test pressing- pressed one side. My favorite song, when done right. 45 of Louie Louie, 45 of Gene Autry / Rudolf the,RedNosed Raindeer, 78 Bing Crosby White Christmas. All in great shape. 2 Beatles white albums both first pressing under 1 million serial. UNOPENED. I track at 1/4 gram. JBL 240TI's to listen thru w/Kenwood class A amp., Scoped at 800 a side. NEED MORE INSULATION!!!😂 Sorry, rachet-jawed too long. Subbed and really enjoyed a few of your vids. I'm hooked. Apologies for the hurricane. 😂 ✌😎👍 Good vibes at your place!❤

[@lowbudgetvinylchannel4840]

Hells yeah!!

[@nickguyone]

Magnum was actually from Los Angeles. A couple of the members still live in the same town as me still...I saw Michael Greene (the lead singer) a few months ago and picked his brain about the LP...unfortunately he doesn’t have any copies. I hope to interview him about it one day!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks cool, the label was from philly, 🤷‍♂️

[@NomNomGohan]

I finally ended up listening to Toad and MAN the guitars are SMOKIN 🔥🔥🔥 Question: what’s the difference between psych and prog?? I have no idea when to cal something one or the other 😅

[@torcida9]

Wow, amazing stuff especially the early 70's hard rock. Similar to Poland's Nurt, one of my Holy Grail's is from a Croatian band "Fire - could you understand me" from 1973. It was released on the Dutch label Killroy. Wondering if you have that one?

[@mlblue5355]

Lots of amazing finds! They were in great condition! Enjoy your “Killer Psych”!

Hey 👋 bud what’s up with you today brother! In 1987 my band was playing an Amerikkkan Tour with our good friends ( RIP Reed Mullins) and Woody gave me an autographed Lp of’em for my birthday called Technocracy in vinyl; not sure if you know those guys who are from Raleigh, N.C? Yes. I’m now gonna be 56 years young in June 5th so I’m kinda thinking of that time before they made it really BIG lol; I started swinging down memory lane and just found your channel this morning and I’ve been watching you all day today letting it run and I did subscribe to Noble records just now and really enjoying 😊 your insights into my #1 love ❤️ Muzik no matter what genres except for the new country music 💩 coming out today and prefer George Jones & Tammy Wynette over all the garbage polluting the media/ airwaves. So Did’ja know any of the guys from Corrosion Of Conformity’s line up or what? Just figured maybe you’re from the same neck of the woods is all. I ❤️ this stuff so where ya been all my life bro’ lol You’re funny as fuck all! I’m officially a fan as of now! 👏 Sincerely yours, DJP ex PostMortem and Kilslug Boston Massachusetts 🇺🇸 Amerikkka of course 🇨🇳 (soon!)

I watched your list of 20 most sort after records and as much as they were iconic records I only purchased The Velvet Underground LP from that list. I was one that was on a budget and wanted to purchase LP's that I felt would leave a lasting impression for years to come. I love this video because now your cooking with gas, you are presenting music that is superior to most and takes a love of music to know of these albums showing who you really are. In the 60's my friends gravitated to my music because everyone had access to The Beatles or Pink Floyd but not my gems (Stooges, 13 fl Elevator, MC5, Velvets, Electric Prunes, Seeds, Monks, Blue Cheer , Detroit etc). Love your video of your gems. Now you got my interest. Stay hip and keep the sleepers on you channel.

Take a look at "Phafner" some time. 1971 pyschedelic/blues rock that should be right in your wheelhouse. Only 50 copies made. I ALMOST got a copy once, but that's a long story for a different day. Thanks for the great video.

A great video, though I've never heard of any of these bands. My favorite music genres are Prog, Classic Rock, and hard rock, i.e., Van Halen, Def Leppard, Metallica, KISS, Nivana, Guns N ROSES, AC/DC. My Holy Grail vinyl records are Genesis Live The Way We Walk Vol 1 The Shorts and Genesis Live The Way We Walk Vol 2 The Longs. These 2 vinyl records are not and never have been available on vinyl record in the USA. They're only available on cassette tape and music cd in the USA. As for the vinyl record versions, they're only available on import. At the time of the year each one was released, Vol. 1 The Shorts 1992 and Vol. 2 1993, I never, ever found them on vinyl record in any store, here in America. Keep spinning the vinyl!

Hard 'n heavy, that's also what she said. Would love a Toad or an Orang-utan around my pad too. Jacob is the man. I prefer Josefus on Mainstream a little more too. Spotted an original Dead Man when I was in TX once. I've actually never heard Magnum, but the cover looks vaguely familiar. Philip Lewin's 2nd album is a nice one too. More on the lounge side. Guinness had some cool titles for sure. Really want a Troyka & Eternity's Children too damn it! Purple Image. 💣 💣 💣
