My recent hauls from the Glenbrook & Glebe Record Fairs

[@MelindaMurphy]

What a great haul of Dave Brubeck records. Gone With the Wind is one of my favorites. I love Nat King Cole, Frank, Ella and Elvis as well. What great classic records. ♥️ Take care.

@@MelindaMurphyhi, yeah and they were relatively inexpensive and in pretty good condition aside from some sleeve wear. They play nicely to with my mono cartridge. Hope is all is well at your end. Thanks for your comments. Cheers 😊👍

11:40 I found a Japanese of Linda Ronstadt's Mad Love & it sounds stunning!

6:20 I have the same Australian Southern Scene plus a later open source reissue.

Hi Peter, just started watching this great vid and realised ive watched it before! Never been to those fairs, but occasionally pass through Glenbrook on my way up to the Velvet Fog at Katoomba. Just subbed...Cheers!

Sorry to be late to the party on this one, Peter. Lot's of great LPs showing here. Clapton certainly rates for me as does Dave Brubeck. As for Elvis ... Still the King of Rock n' Roll! 🥰👍

@@rachelsghost Hey thanks. Yes some nice finds in there including the Brubeck & Elvis. Can't believe all this time I hadn't own that Clapton LP. Hope you're keeping well. Cheers 😊

4:43 - is that the Revolve Records which used to have a store in Erskinville, but I nnow understand are a full on-line stoe? See too many stores go that way, including Lawson's & one in King's Cross whose name escapes me at the moment.

[@peterx1957]

@@stephenchen1420 Revolve are usually at the Glenbrook fair. Not sure where they were before. Cheers mate 👍

1:28 I have Golden Records on a German import.

2:05 I find Capitols pressed by EMI in UK sound better, like Beach Boys Greatest Hits vol. 2.

[@beatlefancraig67]

Been to both fairs too!, John's fair at Glenbrook was great & bought a few good gems but I was a bit disappointed with Glebe fair cos so much stuff that I wanted to get was so insanely expensive!!, AC/DC,Easybeats & other Australian artists, I only bought just a few gems that were reissues including an Easybeats album at a reasonable price but the original 1's were just too overpriced & not in best condition & didn't bother with them, 1 rare item I got for $60 was the 6 cassette tape version of The Beatles Box from Glebe fair.

[@peterx1957]

@@beatlefancraig67 why are Australian AC/DC Albert's LP's & singles so expensive? What makes them so collectable? I've never understood that. They aren't scarce. I own the first 2 since original purchase and I have quite a few of those 45's. Can you shed some light on this? Cheers 😊👍

[@beatlefancraig67]

@peterx1957 I think it's because now they are becoming more expensive & collectable cos Bon Scott & Malcolm Young have passed away, also with Easybeats losing Stevie Wright,George Young & now Dick Diamonde, The Beatles with only 2 left & The Monkees with only 1 left, most albums by these famous popular band are so crazily expensive cos their all still popular & loved & some albums particularly original pressings are now rare & collectable all these years later, but $800 for a rare AC/DC album, $90 for an original Parlophone pressed Easybeats album & $1,200 for an Australian second press black & gold print labelled Beatles Please Please Me album is a bit too much even with a worn-torn flimsy cover?, some sellers are just plain money-hungry cos they overestimate the value way too much!!, yeah perhaps in another 40-60 years but not now??

[@peterx1957]

@@beatlefancraig67 maybe but the AC/DC situation is the one I didn't quite understand. You might be right that it's the Bon Scott era one's in particular. Original Beatles records have been expensive for a long time particularly first press PPM's and yeah try finding one without a beat up cover. I do have one myself with slightly faded labels too. Cheers mate. 😊

[@RockDaydreamNation]

Nice haul! Always love the Glebe record fair! It’s a must go

[@peterx1957]

@@RockDaydreamNation thanks yeah it is. Been ages since I've been there though. The Trapeze LP was a chance timely find given I saw Glenn Hughes in concert last week. Brilliantly performed. Cheers mate and thanks for your comments. 👍👍

That first one - the Elvis Presley album, I remember buying that for my old man as a present back in the 1970s. The old chap had only just decided that he was an Elvis fan at that time. Back in the late 1950s, when he was about 30, he probably couldn't stand the subversive, teen corrupting Elvis. 🫤
