My Finds At The Vinyl Record Fair & The Shocking Prices

In this video, I discuss my experience at the first annual Romp & Roll Record Show in Owensboro, Kentucky. I show my finds and some of the grail records on sale for astronomical prices. Bands/artists such as Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Rush, Alice Cooper, The Beatles, Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, The Cars, are discussed in this video.

Hey, this is Jeremy, the organizer of ROMP & Roll Record Show. Glad you had a great time! ❤❤

[@joksal9108]

The algorithm favors you again! I hadn’t seen any of your vids in a while. Glad to see you’re still at it. Enthusiasm is infectious. I especially like your jazz record picks.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I haven't been putting out as many videos lately and I will be hit or miss a lot in the upcoming weeks due to our move. I look forward to the move and life getting back to normal. I'm so glad you found this video. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

I have the original US Columbia pressing of "Wish You Were Here" which still sounds phenomenal - Back then August 1975 I had it on 8-Track cartridge in my car and it was the best sounding of all of my tapes thanks to Columbia's Dolby mastering - almost as crisp as the LP - I was lucky to see them live during that time at Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, N.J. a few weeks before the LP was released and remember when David Gilmour played those first haunting notes on his guitar - we all thought he was just tuning up and all of a sudden that sudden burst of music when the group entered the song was just mind-blowing - every time I hear that intro I am back there with my girlfriend at the time and my best friend as we became Pink Floyd's loyal fans - Thanks for that memory jog Melinda❤See you next week!

[@MelindaMurphy]

What an incredible memory. I wish I could have been at one of their concerts at that time. 🔥 I'm so jealous. Thank you and take care.

It is always good to see someone spreading the good news about 'Wish You Were Here', one of the greatest albums of the 20th century. What a record, what a band...

"Wish You Were Here" is my favorite record, I remember the first time I heard it, 8th grade, in a treehouse in El Paso Tx. my new friends were playing it on a boombox, I heard "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and thought it was the most beautiful music I had ever heard. Glad to hear you enjoyed the record fair, I recently attended my first, and it rekindled my enthusiasm for the hunt as well, as you pointed out local stores get pretty picked over. Thanks for sharing, have a great week!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wish You Were Here is such a fantastic record. ♥️ Pink Floyd was on fire at that time. What a great memory. It was nice to go to a record fair that actually had some great records. Trust me, I could have bought so much more. ♥️ Thank you and take care.

Just tonight, I had to correct a bandmate who thought "Just A Gigolo" was the moment Van Halen went bad 🙃 we let him know it was actually a Roth solo song. He was relieved!

Exactly. That EP is so bad. Lol. He definitely made up for it with Eat Em And Smile. Thank you and take care.

Hello Melinda, Yes, now in summer I also go to many Record Fairs. What I liked is that there are expensive sellers, but sometimes also cheap ones. Wow, I love the single from The Dark Side of the Moon, a real collector's item. Great video, great pieces discovered. Best regards 👍😊

[@MelindaMurphy]

There was a great mix of price ranges at this fair. One guy was leaving early and announced that the records at his booth were 50 percent off. I didn't see anything that I needed but that made a lot of people very happy. ♥️ Thank you and take care.

[@suprememusicmaster]

Hey Melinda…If you ever see any ECM label records (Think artists like Pat Metheny, Eberhard Weber, Steve Tibbetts, etc.), they are excellently recorded fusion and jazz and really showcase what your sound system can do! I highly recommend picking up any that you find out there!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you. I will keep my eyes peeled for one. I'd love to hear the sound quality. Take care. ♥️♥️

[@vikingbrace]

First off, hats off to Phillip for being such an understanding spouse 👍. Happy for you that you were able to go to a record show AND find some great records! Finding any early version of the debut from Rush is getting very hard to find (in good condition) so I think that’s a grail at this point. I think that’s a fantastic album too. I bet that Wish You Were Here half speed sounds amazing. I love that album sooooo much. I appreciate you showing some of those rare (and super expensive) records. No, I would never buy any of them, but as a music lover I just enjoy seeing them. There’s definitely a joke to be made around the Alice album here but I won’t go there.😊. I totally agree about that feeling you had as a kid during summer knowing you didn’t have to get up early for school. You never quite get that feeling back and it was very short lived. Wonderful video MM! Have a great weekend and take care

[@MelindaMurphy]

I was so happy with all of my finds. I had been on the lookout for all of those records. WYWH was a little pricey but I will play it over and over again. ♥️ I can't believe my husband patiently waited for 4 and 1/2 hours. 😳 It's sad we can't go back and visit certain days in our past. There 's nothing like summertime as a kid. ♥️ The closest feeling I get is how I feel on Friday nights. 😀 Thank you and take care.

Time flies when you are having fun. I have the Wish You Were Here CBS 1/2 speed in poor condition. I bought it sight unseen from a store in Florida by phone pre internet. When I looked at the lp after it arrived, it was trashed. I called the store and they refunded my money. I did buy several other lps from them in that lot.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I hope you get some enjoyment out of your copy but a copy in rough shape would be distracting in quiet passages. I'm glad you got a refund. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

[@randydergantz]

A real pleasure to see you getting a break from packing and moving! This video was unexpected! Should you ever have the opportunity to attend another record fair, or record convention, I highly recommend going if possible. I’ve managed to find Lp’s that I simply could never find in the used section of our local record stores. And yes, you will encounter those gems that are priced way out of reach. Still it’s fun looking through the bins, and seeing those albums you wish you could afford. Thanks for taking the time to entertain us once again, and I do hope the move is going well!

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

@10:00 - yes it was self released on MOON records , they fetch over a grand now... and then the 2nd run when they got picked up by Mercury in Canada / USA due to the promotion by some DJ in Ohio ... the red label Mercury Canada pressings are now fetching $500 - and almost as rare as the MOON versions.. and they still mention MOON on the back cover in some cases. RIP RUTSEY.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wow!!! So expensive. I dream of finding one of those in the wild for a cheap price. Lol, it will never happen but it's a fun dream. Thank you for the information. Have a great week. ♥️🤗

[@RockVinylChannel.]

Hello Melinda, Yes, the Hotmix of Led Zeppelin II is hard to get hold of in good condition and at a good price! I also looked for it for a long time, but then I paid the $400 because I noticed that there were only scratched versions. In general, I think it's a rarity. A record that quickly disappeared from the market. It's similar with the Led Zeppelin record from 1969 with the turquoise lettering cover, the original cover, which was quickly thrown off the market and only a few copies were sold. Led Zeppelin II RL Cut has been around for a while. The problem is that there are many versions, and many dealers take advantage of that and just say: Yes, yes, that's the version, without looking at the number. Good luck finding it! 😊

[@MelindaMurphy]

It's definitely a great sounding record. 🔥 It's worth the splurge. Thank you and take care.

Concerning the panties with "Schools Out". Shep Gordon, the bands manager, was at a prty and overheard someone say that it was illegal to import paper underwear. He got the idea to order the panties, and when he was notified that they were at the warehouse, he called customs with an anonymous tip about contraband, Then, when the story hit the news, he came forward saying that the panties were ordered for an album insert. Free publicity courtesy of the US customs service.

Aloha Melinda Wow! Alice Cooper School's Out White Label Promo !!!.... Amazing purchase. That 1st. RUSH record album brings back memories, I was hanging out at a record shop called DJ'S Sound City here in Honolulu, which 3 years later I worked at. Anyway the asst.mgr "Terry Currier" shared this record album with my friend & I. We were blown away by this debut by RUSH. By the way the asst.Mgr.Terry became the owner of Music Millenium. Which is in Portland Oregon which he still runs today. Melinda thanks for sharing your new grails & bringing back some fond memories of my past..... Always looking forward to watching your next videos. Mahalo Ed

Congrats on the good time you had and the haul you scored at the fair. I’m so glad you got to experience that before you moved away. My friend Joe and I were both 13 in 1972 and we worshipped Alice Cooper. Joe bought the SCHOOL’s OUT LP and recorded it on cassette for me. He told me he had to hide his ALICE COOPER albums back then so his parents didn’t find them! And he said he threw the panties in the dumpster behind Woolworth’s! Different times. ❤

Don’t feel bad. It’s happened to me in my trusting nature and confidence to also have bought records at fairs that turned out to be “not” the first pressing, or a lyric sheet was missing or even a record I already have. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve learned to now rely on Discogs to check matrices and records I already have in my collection. Nice overview and finds! 😊

[@MelindaMurphy]

I should have checked the deadwax but I probably would have bought it anyway. It's a clean copy and the price was fair. I was a little frustrated when I got home but that's ok. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️

[@MikeKovalesky]

I saw that one of the dealers in Michigan purchase records from was at that show. Congratulations on the Wish You Were Here find. I still have yet to find a copy for my collection. There’s something about that record that has me looking for the “right” copy. As for grails, I did see an originals of Nevermind, In Utero and Versus at the same dealer table. Didn’t think such a thing existed, with the early to mid 90’s release of each.. Nevermind alone was $1,200. Good luck with your move.

Melinda, you need more record shows and record fairs in your life! They are such great places to meet new people, new vendors and serious record nerds like yourself! I love, too, that you were able to find those National Music Survey records..I have a few that I picked up in Florida once, featuring Charlie Tuna, along with some great Casey Kasem broadcasts…With Dick Clark, I remember his “Rock, Roll & Remember” shows and “Countdown America!” from the late 80’s-early 90’s…I’d love to find one from 1989-1990 that I remember hearing on a camping trip…I recorded bits and pieces of it, but I distinctly remember hearing Poco’s “What Do People Know” on it…Those commercials absolutely DO take me back, too, as well as the interviews…Such fun listens! Make sure you look around the area of Florida you’ll be moving to, so you don’t miss out on any of the Florida shows…Some of my favorite record buys were purchased down there several years back at flea markets in the Tampa-Brooksville-New Port Richey area…There was a booth in one of the indoor markets there where I saw one of those Phonologs, and I hadn’t seen one of those in a VERY long time! But, great finds! Hopefully, we’ll see more videos like this in the future…You can always find the crème de la creme at the record shows and I completely understand being there for several hours and finding incredible stuff! Record stores are great, but having so much vinyl from so many people in one place is a treasure! More people should know about these places, because there is something for everybody there…Maybe next time, if he hubby doesn’t want to go, you could attend yourself or if there’s someplace he might be interested in going to nearby, he could do his thing and you do yours, especially if you’re on a vacation somewhere…Of course, you’re going to Florida, so it’ll seem like a vacation every day! Remember, too, this is a time for all those antique shows, garage sales and estate sales, too, as well as the record fairs and outdoor flea markets, so don’t pass any of that up, if you can!

Which is why when I go to a "slot car " show....I will NOT bring anyone with me... If you're not into vintage slot cars, attending a slot car show is probably worse than going to a funeral...or watching a thermometer in California....for 2 weeks straight. Just saying. My point is - I NEVER bring anyone who doesn't want to be there to ANY kind of show I go to (I have multiple interests..as I am a dealer in collectibles)....as they just DRAG me "down". Once again...just saying. On the reverse - I AM going to a Godzilla show in Chicago fairly soon (yes - go ahead and laugh). My son and brother-in-law are coming (both are fairly big Zilla fans)....so it will be fun....and no worry about either of them NOT enjoying themselves (or being bored)......that......and the enjoyment of Chicago pan pizza....which well, speaks for itself.

Hello Melinda ! Record fairs are a great way to find/buy records you didn’t know you wanted. If a grail turns up , it’s usually on display BEHIND the dealer. And the prices for those……WHOO-WEEEE , my goodness gracious !!! My interest fades immediately. The costs for rare or unusual records have skyrocketed. Luckily I restarted my collecting in the nick of time. I’ve been able to get almost all of the unusual ones I wanted , and only have a dozen+ or so left of the more common ones I miss. Take care. /R (A at work)

Good for you. I also avoided the crazy money prices that people are demanding today. I wish I had started collecting even sooner and saved even more money.

On Record Store Day 2023 I got up too late, showed up to my main store and the line wrapped around the block so I headed over to my backup plan, a store that has a lot less RSD selection... Well they were out of everything I wanted but I looked up on their holy moly wall and there was WISH YOU WERE HERE - the same one you're featuring on this video (for $75). I figured if this record was for sale as an RSD title, everyone would be clamoring for it so I bought that as my RSD treat. It sounds more detailed and shimmery than my 1975 US press. Thanks for your videos!

You got an excellent deal on that record. I paid quite a bit more. It does sound terrific and I love finally having it in my collection. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

Awesome video my friend

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you! Happy 4th of July. ♥️🇺🇲

[@harmlessrebel868]

Very nice! I still love record fairs...spend too much, but still love them. There are definitely sellers with crazy prices, but I still end up finding great deals. Nice score on the Floyd. For that, the 1980 pressing supposedly has the EQ curve incorrectly set. I don't hear it personally. I have the 1980 pressing, and it's the best sounding pressing I've heard of the album. The OG UK is supposed to be a bit better, but it's also crazy expensive. That Floyd had also bee sought after for some time. I bought my copy about 10 years ago, before the vinyl resurgence, and even then I paid $50 or $60 for it.

[@MelindaMurphy]

This Pink Floyd record has been on my want list for years. I paid a lot more than you did but it will be in my collection forever. ♥️ Record fairs are awesome. I hope to go to some in Florida. Thank you and enjoy your weekend. 🇺🇲♥️

[@murch13]

I have that Mastersound, also have a 1st UK wish you were here. That Mastersound sounds incredible, comparible in quality to the UK, slightly different mastering. That's a nice find!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for letting me know. I have always been curious about the UK pressing. I'm happy with this Master sound version. ♥️ Take care.

[@richardsypniewski9279]

Melinda,No report card?!? 😳....In my case,that would be a good thing.😋👍 All the best to you & Philip on your next exciting chapter.💜✌️🙏

[@MelindaMurphy]

I wish it had the report card. Maybe I will run into a cheap copy that still has the report card. 🤗 That would give me a complete copy. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️

[@jimswenson2411]

I love shows. I've bought at least half of my collection at shows because they are so affordable . I've been finding the prices are going up, but not a lot. While, the prices are going up so is the quality most are NM instead of VG+. I've also have found that I'm finding a lot more 1st press, NM for very good prices. Many are not labeled as a 1st press. I guess some vendors are buying estate collections from serious collectors and don't have the time to look them all up in Discogs. I'm glad that you had a good day. Some really nice finds. My last grail find was the first Moby Grape vinyl NM, cover VG1, 1st press second cover (middle finger air-brushed out). I don't remember the exact price but I know that it was less than $10. It's been on my buy list for years.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wow! You did find a great deal. 🤗♥️ The record fairs do have some great finds. I'm very pleased with what I brought home. Thank you and take care.,

[@danneeson7056]

The first Rush album was originally on the Moon label in 1974, only a few thousand made, and is now approaching $2,000 USD for top copies. There are red Mercury pressings that are also very expensive if they have the word MOON in the dead wax, which indicates the original Moon stampers were used for that pressing. Rush also released an extremely rare 45 on Moon in 1973 which also sells for upwards of $2,000USD. I am fortunate to have both the original album on Moon and the Moon label 45 which I found for $3 at a local thrift shop in 2023. Cheers.

[@danneeson7056]

Correction, not the word MOON but MN-100-A hand written with STERLING stamped and what looks like a circle with a slash or capital Q in the dead wax of my original Moon label Rush album so the red Mercury will have an MN for Moon in the dead wax if it's the rare one.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wow! That's amazing. I'm so glad you found those on the way that you did. ♥️🤗 You own some treasures. Thank you and take care.

[@douglasweston126]

Hi Melinda - we have quite a few record fairs in Adelaide, Australia - too many to be honest !! I get most of my records from charity shops etc etc with the occasional new purchase. Its all about the dollars lol. You mentioned Alice Cooper - I just picked up two Alice Cooper albums today for $3.00 AUD each. Billion Dollar Babies, with the original billion dollar note still inside the gatefold and a Best Of. Not sure what they're worth but always fun to find out. I also have a bootleg yellow vinyl Beatles Butcher Sleeve - cost me $30 AUD. That's about as close as I'll ever get to a real one lol. Chow for now. Doug

[@MelindaMurphy]

Finding deals at thrift stores is possibly the most fun way to buy records. Our thrift shops have dried up where I live. I'm glad you are still able to find deals. Thank you and take care.

[@richardelliott8352]

always glad to hear joyous reports. one advantage at these events is that the non professional traders, collectors that sell to advance a personal collection, aren't that thrilled at the prospect of dragging a bunch of vinyl back home when the event is over, , the stuff is heavy. the report about that $400 led Zeppelin pretty much convinced me to obtain and then follow the advice given by a mastering engineer, to just use a quality equalizer, as is done when records are made, and is pretty much out of fashion with audiophiles today. . he was talking about his work on the steely dan "gaucho" record in a you tube forum, where extensive massaging of the sound was used, to great acclaim ..

[@MelindaMurphy]

Very true! One of the dealers announced that all of the records in his booth were half off because he needed to leave and didn't want to haul all of those records back home. Lol. Thank you and take care.

[@Derffee]

At the north-west audio show here in England there had a record fair as well there was a who album for sale for over £3000

[@MelindaMurphy]

Oh my goodness. Now that's a lot of money. 😳 Thank you and take care.

[@tturner12341]

I’ll have to look at my copy of Schools out. I don’t remember what color my pantries are. I’ll take a look at mine. Alice Cooper is a favorite artist here in Detroit. Same with Grand Funk. I still have all my Grand Funk albums.

[@georgeprior-vinylshowtell4934]

Hi Melinda, great vid. There are so many record fairs here in the UK and all of them always have stalls with overpriced records, it would seem. Thankfully, there are always plenty of dealers who price realistically and those are the ones to stick to. Looking at the footage and the photos you showed, it seems the same for you in the USA. That Beatles Butcher at that price will probably be carted round fair to fair for many years, unsold. It was not worth the asking price. Fortunately you came away with some great gems and I'm sure a decent price. That is what it's all about.

[@MelindaMurphy]

It was a mix of grail records and common records for great prices. I had so much fun. These fairs are a great way to find amazing records. Thank you and take care. 🔥🤗

[@stevenj2380]

NY NY, Always a fine look back with you. 1983, great. Music peak year was for me was 1986. ( 'It' lost it in the early 90s almost altogether.) Still plenty of favorited rock, pop, country- was pop country OK, new age, new wave/ electronica, post-disco dance, on shelves and radio. I was 31. Had my modest system set up for LP, CD and cassette.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I was definitely lost in the 90's as well. I actually went to country music at that time. Lol. Thank you and take care.

[@RekkidTalk]

I live a few hours away from Owensboro and considered but ended up passing on going to this record show. Part of my reason was I had done an antique mall trip through some parts of Kentucky I haven't visited before and bought enough rekkids that I still haven't spun all of them.

[@suprememusicmaster]

I did the same thing with an antique mall trip through Michigan…However, there were plenty of record stores and thrift shops, too…I’ve been spoiled with music lately! And the good stuff is out there, if you know where to look! For the record, Melinda, if you see any ECM label records out there, they are really good for showing off your audio system…Pat Metheny, Eberhard Weber, Steve Tibbetts, etc. All good stuff that is excellently recorded and deserves an attentive audience!

[@MelindaMurphy]

I would have loved it if I saw you there but I understand. I'm set for a while and will need to stay away from record stores too. Lol. Thank you and take care., 🤗♥️

[@michaelhendricks6991]

Nice grail finds. I’m jealous of the rush debut find. 80’s press not withstanding, I’m still on the hunt for a nice copy. $$$🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@MelindaMurphy]

Yes, it wasn't a first pressing but it is a clean reissue. That's good enough for me. ♥️ Thank you and take care.

[@jody8526937]

Good show.. Wonderful husband you got there..4.5 hours. Even I would say hey lets go... I love record shows.. and it is a great way to get good stock at prices that don't hurt... Obviously promo Alice..you should have looked closer at the panties...I could see it from here....(I'm visiting Poland..looking for records here as well) first Rush album is my favorite album by the band (yep. call me crazy..) I love those syndicated records. I collect them. love the commercials. Your youthful stories bring back the memories. Yep.. didn't have a lot of money for records back in the day so I would record on my brothers 8 track recorder. off the radio..yep.. didn't have a cassette. I recorded Gene Simmons introducing Van Halen brothers on 8 track (WABX Detroit). Wish I still had that recording. Yeah.. 80's radio... I didn't like a lot of the stuff by the late 80's (but I love it now). Grunge kinda brought me back to the radio. When I was a kid there was nothing like riding in the car, on vacation, or going to visit grandmother in West Virginia and listening to top 40 from around the different regions of the midwest, eastern Canada and mid Atlantic states we would visit. Being from Michigan visiting Memphis, I remember the shock to hear Bob Seger was opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd (he had sold out 7 nights at Cobo Hall). My dad didn't really like pop music but he would tune into whatever top 40 station he could find as they seemed to be the most powerful and the hits would roll as the miles passed by. One would fade after an hour or so and another would pick up soon. That was heaven in many ways. He was usually very strict and stern but the long vacation drives was one of the few times he would relax and we were close. Perhaps thats why I am so attached to the music and collecting?

[@MelindaMurphy]

Finding out the Alice Cooper album was a white label promo was a cool surprise. You're right, I should have noticed it immediately. I loved hearing your stories about the ways you would record music especially VH. ♥️ Thankfully, my mom loved listening to the radio hits with me. She could be cool when she wanted to be. Lol. Thank you and take care. 🤗

[@rwlodarczyk]

Indeed, the price of records has gone through the roof. Just goes to show that value is in the eye of the beholder. If they’re asking that much for some vinyl, there must be a buyer out there for them.

[@MelindaMurphy]

People were buying a lot of records. There are people out there that are probably willing and can pay those prices. Thank you and take care. 🤗♥️

[@vinylwood]

Wow kinda sexy how you pulled those Schools Out panties down. Be still my heart 💜. The Rush album is a great find, that one is getting very elusive. I once and only once came across the R L press of that Zep for $80 , six yrs ago. I thought it was too expensive and I already had two copies of Zep 2 so I passed. Yep sometimes there’s no way to excuse yourself from being dumb. 😊. Cool finds.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Lol. I never thought that talking about those panties would bring up so many emotions. 😄 The price on the Led Zeppelin RL albums have really gone crazy. Be glad you already own it. Thank you and take care.

[@JeffMcCormack777]

I have yet to go to a record fair. I am sure they have them around at times, but I also know there will be tons I want at prices I shouldn't pay :) One day I will have to go to one. Cool stuff for sure.

[@MelindaMurphy]

You should experience a record show at least once. Bring cash and be ready to deal. 😀 Thank you and take care.

[@DonJLeBlanc]

OMG ! Melinda , that rare copy of " Schools Out " -- with the panties no less !!! What a flood of memories seeing that brought back to me !!! Had a copy of that album ( bought in 72 or 73 - the memory isn,t what it use to be ) , 2 panels on the back of the cover which opened up the record into a simulation of an actual school desk !! very cool at the time . My brother took the panties while i wasn,t looking and i never saw them again !! I,ve heard the panties were quickly discontinued because they were deemed a fire hazard . Also, when you talked about the Dick Clark records , what a cool find .... i did the same as you Melinda , i would spend hrs in my room with an RCA portable radio listening to " American Top 40 " with Casey Kasem as well as Dick Clarks show !! Reruns of A Top 40 play on Saturday mornings on WHTT 104.1 in Buffalo , which i listen to while i,m out driving on my job on Saturdays ! Goodness , you put a smile on my face today , Thank-you !!! Hope everything is going smoothly .... Enjoy your day !! 😉💯🙏❤💯

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wow! What great memories. Those countdown shows were the best. ♥️ Those days are long gone and I am so glad that I grew up when I did. Thank you and take care.

[@mamabearvinyl]

I’ve been to one record fair in Maine, but it was pretty small. I have spent four hours in a record store though and my husband left me there. He went to a cigar bar and told me to call him when I was done. I picked up some great records that day and he picked up some cigars, so everyone was happy. Lol Some great pickups. The prices on records have really skyrocketed. Glad you were able to find some great wax. I would like to find a copy of Buckingham & Nicks, The Marvelous Marvelettes and of course a butcher cover. Good luck with the move.

[@MelindaMurphy]

That sounds like a better plan for you and your husband than what my hubby did. Lol. Next time I will send him away or go alone so he doesn't have to suffer through it. Lol. I hope you find your grails, especially Buckingham Nicks. I wish it would get a great reissue but it seems unlikely. Thank you and have a wonderful 4th of July. ♥️🇺🇲

[@terrencereardon6374]

I have the original Stereo Quad mix of Wish You Were Here the US version with the repeat of Shine On Part 9 at the end of Side 1. I found it at a Flea Market for $20 and it was in Excellent Condition and plays quietly and transferred it to CD and the record goes for $100-500 on eBay (needs the postcard and/or shrinkwrap to up the value.

[@MelindaMurphy]

That's a terrific find. I would have picked it up too. Awesome price. Thank you and take care.

[@MikeMihlo-lv9iy]

The Beatles 2nd state Butcher cover is getting big money now is because a lot of people peeled their cover off to see the Butcher cover. Making it a 3rd state. So the 2nd state is getting more rare with the cover intact. Great vid. Great pick ups.✌️

[@MelindaMurphy]

I didn't know that they had become so expensive. That makes sense. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

I own 58 copies of Led Zeppelin's final studio album and it saddens me prices are getting crazy...it's the sign of something worse than greed i believe. These times are strange but your channel Rocks. I need a Ludwig Zepp 2, maybe one day i'll find one at a record fair. Great purchase on Wish You Were Here! Thank You for your eloquent video!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. You must have a pretty amazing Les Zeppelin collection. 🔥 Thank you and take care.

[@MickSupper]

When a price is too high for you that makes it "worse than greed"? Whatever that means. Like she said, people can ask whatever they want and if you don't like the price, move on.

[@1oriss]

have a copy of Coops Schools Out, still with said panties, bought way back in the 70's. God I'm old.

[@MelindaMurphy]

That's awesome! It's great to have the same copy that you bought all of those years ago. We are all getting old and it sure beats the alternative. 🤗♥️ Thank you and take care.

[@jimb2416]

Good morning Melissa, I was at a grand opening of a local record store. They had a copy of the first Rush lp going for $90 CDN which I thought was expensive! They also had a copy of the Pink Floyd lp you showed.... not that same pressing for a lot of $$. I bought 2 Lps to support them. But overall I found their prices pretty high in my opinion. If I want to own a copy of any record, I just look for a clean record. There are too many variables with add ons and who oressed it etc to worry about. Nice video tho!!

[@MelindaMurphy]

I agree. It all gets very confusing. In most cases, a clean version will be great. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

Great video Melinda. My holy grail was Morrissey - Ringleader of the tormentors which I recently purchased. Now searching for You are the quarry, again by Morrissey. You mentioned the Rush album you bought. Interested to hear what is your favourite album by them. I only have Exist stage left, which is great. Regards Paul ( From England).

[@MelindaMurphy]

I think my favorite Rush album is Permanent Waves. ♥️ Moving Pictures is a classic as well. Thank you and take care.

I haven’t been to a record fair in a few years. But I would like to go to one in England and find some first pressings from the UK of Fleetwood Mac’s first album, Pink Floyd Meddle, and some obscure prog and psych bands. Congratulations on the albums that you got! Awesome Pink Floyd find!

[@MelindaMurphy]

[@dusty3913]

Big Rush fan. I only have the 1st album as the ReDISCovered box set. I feel like I need a stand-alone copy like the one you found. But, what I’m really after (and will probably never have) is the original version of Vapor Trails. It just costs too much-but that’s definitely one of my grails.

[@MelindaMurphy]

There's a copy on Moon Records (I think that's the name) that if you ever find it, it's extremely expensive. I would never pay the price for it but I day dream about finding it in the wild. 🥰 Thank you and take care.

[@Ruiner10000000001]

Great finds, Melinda! Not so cool of the dealer to mislead you with the Rush LP, mind you. But the "School Out" complete with knickers that turned out to be an original promo, more than made up for that!

[@MelindaMurphy]

I agree. Overall, I'm very happy with my finds. I should have double checked the Rush album. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend. ♥️😀

I love the picture sleeves.45 people. The older gentleman and his wife I think it is are based out of Plano Texas not far from me. It's funny that you pulled up the bag they gave you because I just came across mine recently and it's sitting here in the living room. It took me a minute to remember that it was those folks in plano. I got some really great unofficial recordings from them over at the Southwest Dallas Audio Fest back in March. On a side note, I've been going through a bunch of my original LP's I bought back in the early 1980s and on through the 80s. I had about 400 LPS and unfortunately I only found about 60 to 70 of them went down in Houston moving stuff from the house that was sold. I was so happy to find them though. Some sound great while others you could tell I didn't take very good care of them. I played them on a cheap record player because I was just a young kid at the time. I also found about 30 or so records at my dad's house up here in fort Worth when I was moving things out of it a couple of weeks ago. It was from his original collection. I thought that when he started thinking rock and roll was bad and wouldn't let me listen to it and quit listening to it himself that he had used all of his albums for target practice. I was there and I remember all of the beatles, LED zeppelin, etcetera, etcetera albums that were shot for Target practice. It didn't bother me quite as much when I was real young but thinking back on it nowadaysit really, really makes me sad. But at least I got a few of the albums and they seem to be in pretty good shape. It's taking me awhile to go through all of the run outs on these albums but I started on it yesterday and I've been enjoying listening to the music and adding them to Discogs:-) Btw, my screen on my phone went out Sunday and I cannot proofread or see what Google types in this message. At least not until I get another phone. So please excuse any errors Google is sure to have made. Brian in fort Worth🎶

[@MelindaMurphy]

Your message looks great to me. 😀 I can't believe your dad used those incredible records as target practice. Lol. He has no idea that someday his son would want them. I had a cheap turntable as a kid as well so my old records aren't playable in some cases. I'm glad you found and saved as many records as you did. Thank you and take care. 😀♥️

[@kingelvis1956]

Aahhh… record fairs (or shows)! When I lived in Vegas, there were some of those that I would eagerly attend! However, I now reside in north Idaho where anything to do with vinyl is a rare event! Not even nearby Spokane, WA has any record events. This is just NOT a record area, sadly.

What great finds. The Wish.....album i bought in early 80s, but as i think ive mentioned before it was gifted to a friend in the early 90s 🙄 mine had a poster and some post cards, and i think the centre album image was the robot hands.....but im not sure now. I can get a new copy here in WA for about $70 but the budget is a bit tight for such extravagance.....🤷‍♂️ you didn't mention what you paid? 🤔 Also that Sabbath album was the 1st one of theirs i heard..... my uncle played it for me❤ Happy day 😁🙏

[@MelindaMurphy]

The Pink Floyd album was a huge splurge for me. The cover and record were flawless and because of the condition I paid $200 for it. That's not something I can afford to do often but this has been on my want list for years. I may sell some other records to offset the cost. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

[@charlesf2804]

Four and a half hours? I hope Philip got a dinner out of it 😁 Interestingly, the mid-late 80s was when I also got away from pop music for the most part and moved toward jazz much more. we have something in common, sort of. Nice pickup on the Pink Floyd LP; "Wish You Were Here" is a classic. And, part of the fun of your videos is seeing what T-shirt you show up in. I don't remember the one you wore in this video, though. Not sure I ever heard of Panama Jack, now that I think about it. The Dick Clark set would be cool to listen to, a nice pick-up also. If you look long enough, you'll find something (or something will find you).

[@MelindaMurphy]

Phillip is a very good guy for putting up with me. Lol. I don't remember what we did for dinner. 😀 I just couldn't get into the later 80's music the way I did. With the early years. It was all too generic for me. Thank you and take care. 😀♥️
