[@Jin-Ro]

My eldest brother collected vinyl. These would have been first releases, as he grew up through the mid sixties, 70's and somewhat early 80's. Avid guitarist, drummer and collector of around 800 vinyl records. Wall to wall. About two years ago I asked him if he still had them. "No, I dumped them in a skip when we were clearing out. I stream music now and other stuff I have on CD, they were just taking up space." I was beyond pissed. All it would have took was an email "Hey, do you want this stuff?"

[@mariawesley7583]

I had a similar experience in 1998. I had a neighbor with a large collection from the 70's and 80's that I always admired. One day I mentioned the collection and a neighbor told me that our neighbor had dumped it just a day or two before to make room for the new baby. I would have paid her for the collection and saved her from having to pay to have it hauled to the dump.

[@johnallen2771]

Man, this brought back memories of my old record collections from the 60s and 70s. The problem is where do you keep them all. But you don't get the same feel when you purchase a CD as vs an LP. You study the big jacket and cover and sometimes there's a lyrics sheet in the record. You just can't do that with a CD the same way. Also, when you were buying albums you got to hear a whole lot of different songs done by the group to get a better idea of where they were coming from. Not just buying the hits one by one.

Thanks. This was a lot of FUN! Garage sales, estate sales, etc. - I always look for and through the records. I've done this since I remember being old enough to be turned loose in department stores, shopping centers (later known as malls) and the like. My parents always knew where to find me and now, decades later, my wife always knows where to find me. Even when I wasn't buying I was happy just to be looking at and reading album covers (that practice did not transfer to CDs by the way). I fondly remember some great purchases as well as being given record collections by people who didn't want to throw theirs out and thought of me (nothing that ever approached 3,000 at one pop- or "rock") Thanks again, this was a very nice surprise on a cold snowy day in northeast Kansas!

[@TheFRiNgEguitars]

That's a great collection. the condition is the rarity on most of these, I enjoyed watching the video! When pulling a record out of the sleeve, the best method open, reach inside the inner and place your two middle fingers on the label, tilt the sleeve UP (gravity assist) and the record "falls" on your thumb and fleshy base of the thumb...... no need to pinch the edge to pull it out, and this also causes the sleeve to stick to the record and causes surface scuffs. (they're inaudible but why make them?) This method I've shared needs just a few practices with a beat up record. Once you've got it. you'll never drop a record, never scuff the surface, and never leave a fingerprint! congrats brother!

One of the shops would just sell a box of about a dozen albums, sight unseen, for, a dollar or something. In one of these was an unlabeled LP in a plain white cover. He put it on and through the speakers comes the unmistakeable voice of Ethel Merman blasting through disco versions of signature songs like "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and "There's No Business Like Show Business"...Turned out to be a test pressing of "The Ethel Merman Disco Album", which apparently was released in 1979 and became something of a collector's item.

That's neat the Earl Ownsby. I know very little about his involvement in the music industry but I can tell you some interesting things about him. In the 70s and 1980s he produced a bunch of 3D films out of a studio facility that he owned in your area. It may still be there. Many of them are kind of forgotten about now. But he learned a lot about the technology and process of making these things. He became sort of a go to expert on the process of stereoscopic photography. So when the major studios were doing Amityville 3D and Friday the 13th 3D and the Man Who Wasn't There in 3D et cetera they went to Owensby as a technical adviser. Eventually a really amazing tribute was made to his name. A certain Michael Jackson short film directed by Francis Ford Copeland named Captain EO ... E O for Earl Owensby.. i have a couple of his 3D films in anaglyoh format. One ive never tracked down but remember seeing a teaser one sheet for a 3D release od was Hot Heir. I suppose an inheritance meets caper comedy involving hot air balloons. Rottweiler aka The Dogs of Hell is my favorite. Really microbudget things they are very cheesy fun.

3000 records 3000$ no single sales, take it all or nothing..only then have you made your money back, once in. once out, other wise your stuck with 2950 records you cant sell.

[@studio-flash]

No that is rubbish.if there is good stuff in there..depending on how much he paid..he could easily quadruple his money or more..$400 to $600 for one record. You've never sold vinyl for a living....

[@allenschmitz9644]

@@studio-flash You have never sold vinyl..1. how many 4-600$ magic buyers does he need before hes out of the hole..did he tell you how much he paid for them????

[@tomlayman3141]

Do we know what he paid for the lot?

[@allenschmitz9644]

@@tomlayman3141 he's not saying, my guess is 900-1200 $ so hes got 30-40 cents for each album, my top offer would of been 500$.

[@allenschmitz9644]

In all reality..3rdfloor, 300$

I can usually find rare or albums I am unfamiliar with the pressing number but like you said the ones done by private labels are a lot more difficult.

[@amontri3246]

That earl , rock record I'll give you $1,000 seriously don't sell it

[@heathfit7788]

Did he buy it ?

[@MrMookRecords]

did it sell?

[@kickinvideo333]

LOTS of great rock, pop & metal albums including Def Leppard "High 'n' Dry" ! That is kickass!! Look for Bon Jovi "Slippery When Wet" alternate cover with the chick with a "wet" yellow tank top - that's worth what you paid for the entire collection

[@realtoreelentertainment]

You have some records I would die to have and you just glance over them. You have SO MANY STANDOUTS! Wow!

[@mahempoe]

I'm from Charlotte and i've never heard of Dryewater until now. Can't believe they're from around here

[@chadmiller4601]

My God! I'd buy almost any of your hose!! Have lots of them thankfully but that's all my cup of tea brother!! Kiss, Def lep, Alice Cooper, Ozzy, Kiss vinyl is always a market for all of it and I know certain pressings and labels go for lots! I would easily sit through a long ass video looking at each one....I tell you right now that it id of walked into these type of records in bins at a record store, it would quickly be my favorite shop!!! I don't know what you paid but hardly any of that stuff is dollar bin like you said. Excellent vid and score!! I'm jealous, wish you were in San Antonio!!!

[@chadmiller4601]

*vinyls not hose lol

[@ElvisTranscriber2]

You seem to have some soundtracks. Do you have any original Cast or Studio Cast Albums in your collection?
