I don't care what my records are worth .....although sometimes I'm surprised, but seldomly impressed. I can't sell my friends.

[@noblerecords]

Very true, only made this video because everyone asked! 👍✌️

[@DaveAnchovies]

@@noblerecords my favorites, i wont even look. cause they will be sold at my estate sale!

[@jonathanlake6053]

Likewise, the records are only worth what you actually get paid for them, it only a guide,and nothing is static in value.

[@user-wd8mn8sf1j]

@@noblerecordsAs a dealer, what's your buy price range for one of those $30 records?

[@jonkotick5233]

Everyone thinks their records are worth a lot of money. Do your research before hand people. I generally agree with your pricing, but for those of us who do not have access to a variety of good record stores - 80% of my purchases are on line and prices are definitely higher than your prices. I'm in enough hot water with the wife regarding my vinyl collecting. If I lived near your store, you would have to adopt me cuz I'd be divorced 😂. Love your channel !!!

[@noblerecords]

Hahah thanks

[@l.t.w8985]

😂😂😂 that's really cute

[@johnfloydman7735]

Great video 🙏 iv been collecting records for 35 year over here in the UK and it's fantastic to see the popularity still growing. Vinyl for ever 🇬🇧✌️👍

[@jorynatali3865]

Love your channel! I worked in a record shop for about a year and the worst was telling an older women that her (late) husband’s records weren’t actually worth the eBay prices she had seen. Heartbreaking sometimes to let folks down like that, I wish it was more widely known that what you see on eBay isn’t always the worth!

[@noblerecords]

Yes! Sad part of the job 🤣

[@Curtishardy09]

Happens to me all the time. I buy 78’s and people don’t realize that just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s valuable. But every once in a while..... there is still some rare blues out there. Somewhere. I find it like once a year.

[@BriansVinylRecords]

Great video Dillon. Really enjoyed the breakdown and analysis on the different pressings and why they cost more.

[@mikeroeder]

One interesting thing I heard about Abbey Road is that it is one of the few LP's that has never gone out of print on vinyl.

[@skidart9063]

Amazing fact. Thanks man!

[@scotthullinger4684]

Why would Abbey Road go out of print if it were still a financial gain for the record label to produce more vinyl? Hmm, maybe just a way to artificially increase the supposed value?

[@williamdenton5716]

STOP !! HALT !! ALTO !! 1 minute into the video, this lady wanted 400k for 400 Records ??? What the Franklin Mint ?? I have 4000 records with a Discogs High of $80,000.... I GOTTA HEAR THIS STORY !!

[@JOETERRANY]

[@FireMoon42]

The debut Velvet Underground album sold so few copies on its release you could still find first pressings in the record shops in the UK as late as the late 1970s.

[@ritadougherty]

Love the videos. I have a Fleetwood Mac Rumors album signed by Lindsay Buckingham. I met him at a radio station where I was working. Great guy.

[@bigedhaaheo]

Aloha Dylan Thank you for an awesome insight On vinyl collecting and the worth of those particular record albums. I my personal self have been listening to record albums since the mid sixties and on. And today when I go to flea markets or even some antique malls I've noticed some ridiculous prices on record albums and there not even 1st pressings sometimes there on Pickwick labels. I recall seeing Elvis record albums priced at 50 bucks and up yet being a pressing a 1980's pressing. Either the prices has gone up that much Or they think Elvis is worth that much, lol. And yes I know that some have Extraordinary value. but when an amateur prices things without doing research 😕 that is so sad. So again thank you for a great video. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Mahalo Ed.

[@noblerecords]

Thank you!

[@1963catman]

Interesting. I have a few accidental albums that have appreciated, but I never buy them as an investment to sell. I buy them to play them, and/or display them. I think my most valuable according to Discogs is Offering by The Carpenters. Great video !

[@mikeberg5003]

Great video, thanks. No mention of Yesterday...and Today?

[@xavierpacheco935]

Honestly I have only been collecting for about 4 years but seeing the average price of these more common albums go up is crazy. Gone are the days of seeing boston albums for five dollars.

[@noblerecords]

Yes!

[@fts81]

Agreed. That’s why I’ve been moving towards audiophile reissues. Likely better sound most of the times and better price for sure

[@innocentbystander674]

I recently bought 80 records. Mint. Jazz. For $25.

[@marcallen6987]

Pablo Cruise can still be had on the cheap

[@frazerspooner7683]

I got a first pressing of Boston's s/t for £1 only a week ago at a record fair in England, so it's still all about digging in the right places.

[@SCjuisy]

Hi, i like your educational videos. My Wish You Were Here (Yugoton) and Song Remains the Same (Atlantic) records are Yugoslavian pressings too.

[@evenstephen6277]

Hi Dylan, great video! Would you consider doing a new listening room tour? I am curious what your new space looks like. Cheers.

You rule Dylan...your channel rocks hard. Cheers 🍻 Long live rock&roll

[@noblerecords]

Thanks!!!

[@mr.jazzfusionhiphop1298]

Great video, most of those albums I had back in the day a album usually cost about $3.50 to $3.99 for a single disc and $5.50 to $5.99 for double albums. So I guess over time the $15 to $30 range is about for 2021 I remember buying Hendrix - Isles Of Wight which came out in 1971 as a import which was about $10. , Just like Gentle Giant - In A Glass House was about $12.00. Import pressings were hard to find in NYC.

[@jjquinn2004]

Good estimate re: those prices. I started buying albums in the late 60s and a single disc sold for $4.00 ($3.77 + Pa. sales tax). Looked that up recently on the U.S. Consumer Price Index web site and it comes out to today to about $25.00 + tax.

[@donmoles1675]

Nice Job

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!

[@monkeyfish8945]

I grew up with these records so have them all but most are US stereo. They are mine so would not sell them, but your video is interesting.

[@reinhardtgoetz6794]

I’m sure that eBay and discog aren’t very happy on the 20 most wanted records but you tell them the right way and that is what counts. ❤

[@rezdawg8]

I was super surprised when you held up that cbs mastersound version of the Wall, and then disappointed when you just said “worth more”, I have a still minty copy I purchased at Musicland new back in the day, what are those things worth? Thanks for your cool videos!

[@susanboyter9034]

The thrift store in my town in south Carolina has so many albums. I admire them everytime but dont know a whole lot about it enough to look at everyone of them. I love the art on the covers. I believe they sale for 2 bucks a piece. I have a few I look for bonjovi and led zeppelin. So many are there

[@ralphbolton4865]

Dillon, Great video. Back in the day you couldn't give that VU record away. I finally bought one at the local record shop, and the owner gave me the other two he had. Sold two sealed for 100 bucks in the 80's at a record show and swap. The other one I traded for records I wanted around 2005. Found a turquoise Zep 1 at a yard sale, bought it for cheap, found out it was a boot. Oh well.... Hung the posters, stuck the stickers. Somehow I'm glad I did! Take care.

[@noblerecords]

Haha awesome tales!

[@papilloncycles3463]

That meet the beatles, I have a brown font copy of that, have no idea what it's worth..

[@markwilding3828]

Probably worth mentioning that 'Original Master Recording' is a brand of Mobile Fidelity label.

I have this Led Zeppelin III and on the record itself has this written on it, thought it was interesting. “Do What Thou Wilt” Great album

[@azzoreilly4206]

Great video, a lot of my vinyl I've had for over 30 years and only purchase special ones now, 2nd hand shops used to be great for this but unfortunately now there is always a sticker saying Ebay price...

[@noblerecords]

Yes verybtrue

[@TheHSIHP]

Not necessarily. My local Goodwill had beat up copies of Beatles in their glass cases for 40 bucks but also New Order, Killing Joke, DRI, and a sealed 80s Bill Evans reissue for 2 bucks each. They are confused 🤔

[@Nrgheal]

Great job Dylan! I’m new to your channel and must ask Why did you not mention Led Zeppelin III originally had a large spinning thick paper wheel that brought up all kinds of different faces and pics in holes cut out in the album cover that covered the wheel when you spin it around? I actually have not only my original player but one still in the plastic. I don’t even remember where I got it but it is mint. Loving your content & looking forward to discovering more great unknown 70s rock! I have a band to turn you onto that’ll blow your mind if you haven’t heard them. This thread looks 2 years old so I hope you see it and have a minute to respond! Thank you Andy

[@FireMoon42]

One for you as a big Zeppelin aficionado. In 1978 I was spending my usual Saturday afternoon over at Portobello Market and a guy had a box of copies of 4 for sale. I bought one as my copy had seen too many parties. It was about four bucks US at the time cos no one wanted a Lilac vinyl version of the album. Gave it to my partner at the time when we split in 81, they probably dumped it years ago.

[@noblerecords]

Wow!

[@33RPMVinyl]

North Carolina!! I thought you were in Tennessee! No wonder I couldn't find you! Bought a Herb Alpert grail last week. Got it for less than $1M. Can't wait to show it.

[@noblerecords]

Ohhhh boy!

[@TheHSIHP]

I just pulled Zep III out of my collection and there's a price tag on it for $4.50. it's in very good plus condition. I'm guessing I bought it in the late 90s or early 2000s.

[@thevinylsofoz6338]

I have a US copy of wish you were here still in the black shrink and with the sticker. Was wondering if that makes it more valuable?

[@nicholasalcantar1]

do you not use discogs? i didn’t hear you mention it but that’s the best way find the prices of your pressings. obviously not on newer stuff because of resellers but for older stuff it’s great

[@stofopdenaald132]

Simon and Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, Meatloaf all of these were dollar/ euro records years ago. You also could easily get Deep Purple and Judast Priest, Acdc and such for 2,50, Iron Maiden and Anthrax 5,- and so on. If I only knew back then... 😅

[@cgarci19]

Where are the stores you’re talking about?!!!! Here in LA, prices are double of what you said for all records..and so are they on eBay/discogs... I need to travel to NC then.

[@leebaldwin6015]

I have a KISS Crazy Nights picture disc from 1987 featuring the now deceased Eric Carr that's never been opened, any idea on the value if any?

[@nobotshere8364]

My father in law has the original nevermind vinyl. He read in the guardian news paper they were an up and coming band. 🤣

[@s.d.n.k]

Its crazy what people will pay for LP's. I worked in a record store in the late 70s, spent most of my pay on albums, spent lots of money on imports from America then too. I've sold most of my records over the years, maybe a couple of hundred left. The days of washing my vinyl to remove iron filings from record player needles, that was the advice I was told to do back then. We have a large second hand record store here in my city about 20 minutes away. I'm glad to see collectors and wannabes can find lots of advice & feel envious of some huge collections out there.

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

That's kind of funny about that lady in the thriller album but at the same time it's kind of sad. We had a lady bring us 1999 Prince's album and someone had told her it was worth $200 and that's what she wanted us to buy it for. I took her over to the one we had that we were selling for $20 and she thought we were trying to rip her off somehow.. great video my man

[@noblerecords]

Yes for sure. Very sad when people keep records their entire lives and think they are worth loads.

[@robertdelgado6884]

Like me :) very proud of my collection, and only go based off discogs to get my figure. However seeing this, makes me want to reconsider butttttt, mine are near mint, and to me that says alot more then your average lookin record.

[@lucillechilds9767]

I have noticed an uptick in pricing for 45rpm lp's pressed at either RTI or Pallas I have Fleetwood Mac Rumours @ 45rpm pressed at Pallas medium price is 75.00 and if in really good shape over 150.00 I have noticed anything pressed at Pallas is going for big money I know that the sound from these records is fantastic better than anything I ever heard. Jazz if your not buying reissues you will spend an arm and a leg to get in VG+ condition.

[@skyeslaton3435]

I think black sabbath paranoid on vinyl is out of print and pretty rare, the other day I was lucky to find one for $30 brand new

[@bvfgfvbgch4853]

Really confused about the first press bowie records. Are the dynaflex rca presses legit first presses. I heard conflicting things.

[@anni50ful]

My Led Zeplin 3 has a spinner on the side,I was only showing my son yesterday as we are moving house,I let him have a spin,it moves the disc inside

[@jonsrecordcollection7172]

My copy of the VU & Nico is a peeled torso cover, but they have a big giant Velvet Underground sticker covering the torso.

[@noblerecords]

Yeah that’s considered a second state. Still worth a good bit

[@DaveFineWhine]

That's a nice one - similar to the untouched Beatles 'Butcher' cover with the boring band shot on the front pasted over it, over time the ones with the sticker have become rarer and rarer, because everybody wants to take off the sticker to see the Emerson photo. Last time I looked, ones with the band name sticker are worth more than the ones that have had them removed, even if the person taking off the sticker managed to do it really cleanly.

[@mrsary7868]

This is useful as a dealer. I always check ebay sold, never look at ebay currently listed. Speaking of that, the worst one I ever saw was a listing for 3 standard David Bowie albums of no special pressing whatsoever, the seller wanted £800 for them! There is also a listing for a Beanie Baby that they're asking about 26 grand for because it has a letter wrong on the label or something. It's worth at the very most £100.

[@noblerecords]

Yeah people are crazy 😝

[@mikepilling6060]

I am from the UK and even on things $50 it can still be cheaper buy in US and that includes postage

[@noblerecords]

[@sedition4267]

Have you ever come across a mini LP from '83 called "Star Fleet Project" from "Brian May & Friends"? It had Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Alan Gratzer, Phil Chen, Fred Mandel, and Roger Taylor. It only had 3 songs on it, but it was pretty much a jam session that was recorded without the initial thought of putting it out on record. I have an original copy and have never seen another one out there. Mine will never be for sale, but do they have a value since there probably weren't a huge amount sold?

[@michaelvogel4510]

Sells about 10-15 Euros in Germany. Nice record!

[@ronaldrush4226]

What about 45 I have a 45 with four songs of The Beatles on a 45 two songs on each side but in England 1965 45 s we're not mentioned what's up with that anyone know?

[@terryjohnson5275]

I always buy stuff to listen to and am not bothered about what edition it is or if it is rare - I buy and collect to hear the music. I will probably be thinning out my collection and getting rid of dupicate and triplicate versions of some of the CDs I have - though I doubt I'll sell off any of the vinyl records I bought growing up, simply because of what they mean to me - though I would be tempted if I had anything that was worth a load of money (though doubt that I have), as , as long as I have the music thats all I really need. I watch a show in UK called Antiques Roadshow and marvel at the prices some things are estimated at either because I wouldnt ever pay it or its undervalued. Same thing with records and CDs for me - if I think its expensive for what it is then I wont be buying it, but if it has value to me then I may.

[@pennywise-coins]

Can you tell us about picture discs

In the upper right hand it says pmcg 6 on the bottom backside minos matsas and son Athens grease

[@jacknjill3000]

If you have an early or first pressing of an album, can you switch the record or cover of they are the same album? Just wondering bc I’m sure ppl. have 2 copies and would like to switch out for the better cover.

[@noblerecords]

Most of the time you can tell, there are small differences but sometimes it’s the same, just depends on the record

[@mixapikalic]

I have a 12" single by the Fireman. It has a hologram label on one side and comes with a poster that's about six foot square. It's like the old 1970's posters with a hippy chick in her room. It is called Rushes. No idea of it's worth and when I'm dead it will probably end up in a skip, never to be seen again. But hey, I like my vinyl. It is like my own personal diary from the 60's up to the 90's. Then the evil CD took over for a while.

[@user-rp6bn8qt1b]

I have the Abby road album which is unopened and was made in Canada, how can I tell if it's a first pressing?

[@alekhidell3644]

Best place to look is Discogs. They list every pressing, including where they were pressed. The details of each one should give you the info you need (such as the info in the runout grooves) to make your determination.

No, I think you’d have to open it.

[@Curtishardy09]

Great vid. I just picked up about 600 LP’s from an estate. Including most on your list. It’s a shame the owner marked each sleeve and label with his name in permanent ink. Knocks them all down to VG at best. Breaks my heart. But then again, he wasn’t a collector, he just loved the music. And that’s what it’s all about. Thanks for the info.

[@noblerecords]

I see that a lot! Still good to get them!

[@grahamgibson9302]

I used to be bothered about that sort of thing but less so now, as long as the price I pay reflects it. Particularly with older discs the owner's old-fashioned name, price stickers from long gone record shops etc are themselves interesting.

[@raggeragnar]

I have a bit of an advantage concerning my collecting. I don’t care that much about cover condition , original inner sleeves , posters , stickers & stuff. Only the quality of the vinyl itself. My possibility to hear the MUSIC in the best way. I’ve bought surtain pressings of some albums in just a plain white inner sleeve. For practically nothing. When a VG++ goes for about $25-$30 , I paid $2-$5 for a NM. Imo , I can collect as I please , and be happy about it.
