Top 10 RAREST & Most Valuable Records in My Collection! BIGGER & BETTER 2021 Edition!

[@kurtshelton01]

I'm happy to see these rare records are in the hands of someone who knows how to take care of them.

[@noblerecords]

Thank you!

[@stephansavage9786]

Hey. Bare with me, longish comment. I don’t have any real rare, expensive albums like you showed, but I do have a story regarding my most expensive. UK pressing of unknown pleasures. Guy puts on a local ad to sell the album for $25. I got lucky cause the ad had just been put up. I took it. When we were figuring out the details he asked if I wanted UK copy of closer. $25 as well. Took him up on the offer. When I picked them up they were both mint first pressings. Turns out the guy lived in London in late 70’s early 80’s and picked them up when they first came out. I thought I’d got a steal of a deal so I was happy. A few months later I was telling a friend and he said imagine if it was the first UK copy that when you hold it to a light it shows a red tint. Got home and sure enough it was that variant. Medium value about $300. Love your channel. Keep it up.

[@noblerecords]

That’s amazing!

[@bazsnell3178]

You meant to say ''bear'' with me, NOT ''bare'' with me.

[@johnwelch5132]

You sum it up perfectly. I love my collection and have no desire to sell. You’ve inspired me me to get more - supporting my local vinyl seller. No room for any more but just enjoy it.

[@chrischandler1473]

Rarest record in my collection is an original press of Ode to Quetzalcoatl by Dave Bixby. I found it in a Kansas thrift store for like $2. I had it in my collection for around a year until I looked it up online and saw that perfect copies have sold for over 1k. Apparently 500 copies were pressed and sold to fund a cult the artist had fallen in with after burning himself out on LSD in the 60s. There's a short documentary on KZbin about the album. Although I was a broke college student, I never sold it and it's my favorite record in my collection!

[@noblerecords]

Wow that’s special!

[@astrojazzman]

Epic find!

[@TheHSIHP]

Wow!

[@manoftheworld1000]

I had quite a similar experience back in the 70s in a (straight/lol) bookstore in Berkeley. I caught sight of a rack full of underground comix that had obviously never aroused any desire in that bookstore's customers. The books had the original price tags on them (mostly 50 cents). I bought them all and the people there were so happy to finally get rid of their shelf warmers, not knowing that the books were sold meanwhile each of them for several dozen dollars. The best of them was "Slow Death #1" which was 50 cents as well - however "outside" it was sold for 50 dollars/LOL!

I've been collectin' records since age 12 'n have worked in record stores most o' my life. I watched this video 'n listened to many tracks from the rare albums you recommended. Every song I heard was fantastic! Thank you for sharin' yer musical knowledge 'n turnin' me on to these incredible artists I would never have heard. You rule O.K.!

[@hadleyfraulob]

Wow dude - you are the man thanks for turning me on to Placebo, The Dog That Bit People, and Orange Wedge that stuff is right up my alley incredible!!

[@oddboxTopper]

Memories: I actually saw Orange Wedge in concert many years ago. They opened up for Iron Butterfly. Before the concert, The guitarist and lead singer were interviewed on our local TV station. They showed a copy of the first LP and I have lusted after a copy ever since. If you ever find a copy of that first LP please show it on your channel.

[@noblerecords]

Wow that’s crazy!

[@scottroberts7103]

Orange Wedge are a Baltimore band. They privately pressed their only 2 albums. Both very low quantities. Reissues are available. I too saw them in concert at Dundalk Steelworkers Hall in Dundalk, Maryland. Great show !

[@drothgery43]

Hey man, just came across your channel and been binging on your videos. Great stuff!

Excellent collection! Nice to meet music obsessed people like myself. I think searching for the albums are as fun listening To them. I am always On the lookout for new or old undiscovered music. Great channel!

[@brianjames5685]

I checked out the Trevor Dandy tune and yep it's awesome. I been digging through my collection trying to think of stuff you may not have heard. One that I forgot about is Rachel Sweet - "It's so different here" from the album "Fool Around". It was sampled by the Beatnuts a long time ago and it's great! Rest of the album not so great lol. The most mind-blowing sample I found so far routing through my 7" singles has to be Labi Siffre - "I got the...". When the Eminem break kicks in half way through the track it's quite something, I don't have the LP but it's off "Remember My Song" (1975). I wish Discogs had a section for records without covers, a section for covers with no records and maybe a section for signed items. It would be so much more useful if they did that! Take it easy dude!!!!

[@noblerecords]

I’ll check em out! Thanks for watching!

So nice to see Placebo featured here. Great record, by the late great Marc Moulin. He is also the guy from Telex, another great Belgian band, and apparantly an inspiration for ZZ Top in the 80s.

Just curious if any of these ring a bell. Henry Gross: “Plug Me Into Something”, Trapeze: “YouAre The Music We Are The Band” , Trapeze: “Hot Wire” , or a band Called “Baby” from the texas panhandle i do believe? All these were early 70’s just good ol rock and roll around about the same time as the first rush album and aerosmith “Get Your Wings” era!

Thank you for taking us all on this journey with you through your KZbin videos. I live in Jersey but one of these days I need to take a trip down there and empty my wallet out haha. Stay safe out there man 🙏

[@timmdavison4792]

OK Dylan, I just listened to The Dog That Bit People all the way through...normally, this early 70's stuff doesn't do too much for me, but damn...this really resonated with me. It's beautiful. It's fantastic. There's serious talent behind it. Everything about it is absolutely phenomenal. I can see why this is a desirable record. It's fan-friggin-tastic! I may have to buy that German reissue from 2012 asap. Sometimes you only get the chance to make one artistic statement, and fi so, if this is the one you get to make...amazing.

[@noblerecords]

Glad you liked it!!! Thanks for watching! 🙏

Do you have the 13th Floor Elevators and The Golden Dawn? I love those albums and I guess the original releases are rare.

NEVER saw a Sainte Anthony's Fyre original for sale and I've been looking for one for 25-30 years. Lucky that you found one. Didn't you say you found a copy of Maggot Brain late one rainy night, in an out of the way house, out in the middle of nowhere ? I thought you mentioned that in another video ?

[@AsTheTableTurns]

You can tell the Mighty Baby record has an eastern tinge to it because they're sitting on rugs. I can imagine that conversation. "What would best symbolize what this album is about?" "Let's get some rugs and sit on em' "

[@mikeroeder]

One thing I would be interested to see is a discussion of your rare records that have been reissued and maybe if they're available. Some of these titles I'd be interested to get in my collection, but I don't need to have the OP of it. I'm assuming that in some cases you are familiar with the reissues. I totally slept on that reissue of No Rest for the Wicked by Truth and Janey, I wish Rockadrome would do another run of them.

[@taillightsandtachometers5861]

Rarest record I have is a 1987 Prince Black Album from the original destroyed pressings last one sold for like 25k I think.

My most valuable records are classical, but nothing over $1000. My most valuable one is probably the Mahler 2nd blue-and-silver SAX, worth about $750. No Kogans, unfortunately - I remember back in the 90s they sold for $200-400.

[@noblerecords]

Yeah there are some mega classical pieces

[@vinnieoskokie]

i saw a population II album that sold for over $1,100 on ebay. it had a large X in marker on the back cover. i paid $35.00 for an original copy in the late eighties. i got it, silver metre, and mint tattoo because of the blue cheer connection. i would never sell my randy holden either. it has that same poke hole through the record label

Dillion, never thought to ask this...do you have a personal articles insurance policy on your collection?

[@fuzzle9392]

My top ten is probably: 10. Arcadium - Breath awhile, Middle Earth. 9. Locomotive - We are everything... Parlophone. 8. Bobak, Jons... - Motherlight, Morgan Bluetown. 7. Fresh Maggots - s/t, RCA Victor. 6. Czar - s/t, Fontana. 5. The Human Beast - Volume One, Decca (Black rimmed sleeve). 4. Andwella's Dream - Love and Poetry, CBS. 3. July - s/t, Major Minor. 2. Pussy - Pussy Plays, Morgan Bluetown. 1. Room - Pre-flight, Deram. There were other contenders for the list such as The Parlour Band, Spring, Comus, Sam Gopal, Cressida, etc etc. Seems to be mostly UK stuff from around 67 to 72 that I have.

[@mr.jazzfusionhiphop1298]

Dillion serious question, are these albums rare because the music and the musicians make it a great album or is it the fact there was only a limited amount that were even pressed to begin with? I understand when a first pressing of a Columbia or Atlantic label is valuable but when only 300 is pressed it seems that less people even get to hear it.

[@noblerecords]

Well, there’s lots of rare albums that aren’t valuable. It’s the combo of good music and limited release

[@81peabody]

Over the weekend saw a copy of The Brief Encounter on the wall of a store in Greensboro, NC, - $2500

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

So many of these albums I would have just thumbed over as the art work did not grab me. You knowledge is wonderful, you know what your looking for. Very interesting. I really thought my Christopher Cross albums would be going up in price, pretty disappointed with that investment. I have been planning on doing one of these videos also, some day.

[@noblerecords]

😜 thanks steve!

[@jackwezesa1081]

Chris Cross records make good frisbees!

[@goopah]

These videos are fascinating, even though I own ZERO records that are worth anything. The rarest ones I have (and by rare I mean NOT rare) are probably Blondie's first album on Private Stock that I bought new at JC Penney's of all places when it came out when I was 16 and I had no idea who Blondie even was, but I was smitten by that cover photograph. I guess it might be worth a little bit because I took good care of it all these years, but I could never sell it because I'm still in love with that album. The other one I don't see around much anymore is ZZ Top's "Tejas" on London. Likewise, I'm still in love with that album as well, so I'm hanging on. I know neither of those albums is worth much, but it's still interesting to me finding out about all these variations that I had no idea about, and it's crazy to me when I find out what some folks are apparently willing to pay. I'm not a collector, and I'm glad I'm not, because if I were, I'd be broke.

[@o8thman812]

Rare to me. At a pawnbroker in 1984 I bought Dark Side of the Moon, $2 that had: "Not 4 Sale Promotion use 5KA Adelaide" (A radio station in South Australia) The cover is Harvest logo...

[@bornleadertez2641]

I brought a whole record in an auction and it's cover is clean it's industry from Capital records and it has a stamp since property of Capital records this album is a loan for promotional use only holder agrees to return it on demand attempting cells are voided and violation of law with a goldenseal what does that mean is it viable for me to return to Capital records

I also got an original copy of "The Sacred Mushroom." Sold it to a guy in Italy and got a re-issue - the re-issue pretty much looks and sounds just the the original copy. I also snagged a copy of Nick Drakes "Bryter Layter" first US pressing on Antilles for less than $15 (including shipping and tax) - the vinyl is NM and the cover is VG++. The eBay listing said NIKE DRAKE LP and the description said NIKE DRAKE LP - I guess nobody was looking for a pair of NIKES in the vinyl record section and Drake fans didn't know what it was.

It gets tedious when people constantly come out with the old quote 'it's only worth money because it's rare... musically it's rubbish'. There are so many rare records that contain some of the best music ever made. I wish they had been pressed in the hundreds of thousands as I'd rather pay $20 for every record I crave rather than $500! Your copy of The Dog That Bit People does look stunning.

I don't know how rare it could be, but I have a misprint of a Johnny Cash record that has an Elvis label. And a Chicago record that the inside of the bifold was applied upside down.

It’s a factory goof, I see them sometimes but they are usually one of a kind records.

[@stephen3511]

Where do you get these albums from dude?

[@noblerecords]

All over. A lot of them I found in person. Only a couple online

I have Badmotor finger on orange wax! The Phish lp is in print again.

I am still waiting for you to tell me what a Farm Original Press in VG Plus is worth. I ran into someone who has one.

[@noblerecords]

Depends on condition. $600-1200 depending. If love to talk to someone who has it!

[@bobgoldesberry7740]

@@noblerecords Its kinda like your attic contact. I have been buying a lot from their collection over the years and I just asked one day and they said yeah we have it. Never really considered selling. They asked me what I would give and I have not spoke to them since. Of course i would want to see it and listen to it before I would make an offer. I think most of my 70s blues rock has come from this same collection.

[@chauncygardiner9572]

Interesting that all of these, in addition to being rare, are mostly obscure records. There are many, many more valuable records by major artists out there. I guess those by obscure artists would be more likely to turn up due to the fact that most people have never heard of them.

[@BIGMONEYPLAYER1]

Im loving that placebo record

[@noblerecords]

So good!

[@MegaSlyNinja]

I’m still looking for a Townes Van zandt self titled original press

[@putzengiler]

I never heard of any of these records, super obscure, small pressing regional and. UK Harvest collector stuff ! I knew that Randy Holden was a guitar player in Blue Cheer for a short while, whew ! forget about finding anything in yard sales anymore !

[@samuelnedelec532]

My rarest holy freakin grail is rick astley - never gonna give you up! Median is $500000 🥵

[@miketomlin6040]

It should be worth that! Have you bumped into Northern Soul 45's that go for thousands, yet the music is often 'shit'. Vinyls can be like paintings, shockers go for millions , lovely ones for $1.

[@noblerecords]

Wow well worth it!

[@lupcokotevski2907]

I've rarely found a rare and obscure album that I really liked. The problem is that they are derivative and the music is not even close to being on par with the cost. I listened to the Sandstone album: the first track is based on Scarborough Fair, the second on Love Street by The Doors, the third on Monday Monday by the Mamas and Papa's. People generally buy rare records for emotional reasons first, the music second.

[@noblerecords]

All great music is derivative of something. That’s a very general statement based on 3 songs you heard. Go listen to Randy Holden Population II. It’s derivative of nothing, totally original. Many times popular music is derivative of obscure music, popular musicians are notorious for stealing from small time acts.

[@lupcokotevski2907]

@@noblerecords I listened to the whole album. I've heard the Randy album back when you first showed it. There's good derivative and dull derivative, and plagiarism and then there's something new with identifiable influences, like Astral Weeks. Of course it all ultimately personal taste and discovery is fun even if you don't like what you discover - it also emotionally satisfies curiosity. But there is a likely obvious reason why many artists only made one album.

[@franksepulveda6974]

Thnx. I'm going to peruse more closely a very eclectic, very old collection I have in between my basement & attic
