Most people including myself have no idea who most of these artists are. But thanks for the info. I will YT them and listen to them.

[@josepherbstoesser4196]

It’s so amazing to me how you’ve reached a point where almost no record (almost) is out of your grasp after all these years of hunting grails. I love every bit of the Zam rock content you’ve been putting out lately despite the naysayers. You continue to talk and share music very few other discuss and are helping keep the great ones alive. Keep doing you Dillon!

[@noblerecords]

Well, there’s still a ton of records I want, but in the past few years I’ve been fortunate to be able to find sources for all this stuff!

[@vinylpuff]

As you went through the 100, I swore I could smell the history of those records, the ears they massaged, the many moods soothed or kindled by them. I appreciate your content. Exposing me to what’s out there that I never knew existed. Molte grazie.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much!

[@albertoiberbuden5075]

Hey man, thank you so much for this videos. It is a great source of inspiration for future purchases. I hope the channel keeps growing. Best!

[@nashf5925]

Sublime list, mind blown. Thank you immensely for taking the time to share your personal faves. Cheers

[@deniseoftedahl8937]

Great video!!!! Have a few of the top 100, and now I have more stuff to look for. Always love your enthusiasm!

[@caseydouglas3671]

I love seeing collections with unique things that people have worked hard to put together, this fits that criteria and then some. Hope you keep all these together for a long, long time, they tell a heck of a story

[@raggeragnar]

Fantastic video. Being 57 and liking music from around -65 to about -80 , I take these videos of yours as suggestions to new playlists on Spotify to blast in my headphones when I’m back in my machine after my summer vacation. I still have hope to walk in through your shop doors one day to flip the crates , yap about music and then buy you a beer afterwards. One day , Dillon. One day.

[@booklover3959]

Gave an immediate thumbs up. I love your passion and love for music...is so cool. A lot of these I know and some I have only seen. The whole Zam Rock thing is something I need to check out thanks to you. You have some real rare gems. Kudos.

[@alencarmaiaalvim6541]

I'm from Brazil and Os Mutantes-Os Mutantes (1968) is one of the best psych rock albums and the band was one of the biggest in Brazil. Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) was a fan of Os Mutantes. Great video!

[@rudyonduty]

Thanks for sharing, Love your Chanel! Have a great 2023!

[@jeffkautz2509]

This is amazing! Always looking for incredible “lost” albums. Fraction Blood Moon - Just Wow!!!! Somewhere between The Doors & Sabbath but definitely unique. Keep up the great work!

[@paulboggan]

this is exactly the kind of thing the Internet was made for. I've learned a lot from your vids dillon, and now I'll learn a lot more.... fantastic watch... thank you

[@therevrockinrollin]

That Hank Mobley record saved my life. I won’t talk about it on my channel but it’s no bullshit.

[@txoilfield]

I knew Roky personally, and have several of his 13th Floor albums and Roky and the Aliens releases autographed. Used to have first edition of his 'Openers' book autographed but it was destroyed in Hurricane Rita in 2005. Easter Everywhere is a great pick!

[@cwfutureboy]

Feel really lucky to have seen Roky and the Baskerville Hounds before Roky passed. What a talent.

[@musicandartincorporated2455]

Sat all the way through, Dillon, on the edge of my seat! I'll be on the lookout 👀 for these records 😎 great video!

[@littletesla9733]

The format and the way you work is great to watch, I just download them to my KZbin premium . Thanks for helping me to expand my knowledge on music 👍

[@jonathonh1089]

Thank you for the taking the time - this video was awesome!!

[@ab3000x]

dang! that was some heat!!! I'm glad that one you got from me (Manson) made the cut. I've got a pick coming up (it keeps getting pushed back) and it's good to get a refresher of what LP covers to look for.

[@christopherkibler511]

Dillon, great video. At least I have a (very) few records on this list, but many of these I don't even recognize. Thanks for showing them, Chris

[@bananagumboot87]

Great list, thank you compiling this... some very interesting shiz!

[@jillschaeffer9196]

We’ve discovered so much great music & stories from your channel!

[@PirateNovelist]

I was listening to this while updating my discogs. It's been a long time needed and I am not even done. I don't nearly have as many rare records, but it was fun to see! Missed out on that Farm reissue, but I am glad it went well! Hope to make it out to the store someday. I am in VA so it would be a bit of a trip, but I think it would be a fun one! Take care!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@ConcertBuddie]

Obviously the fire marshall was on standby for that 🔥🔥. Great records man! More so, high marks for the work you put into making this video. Making videos myself now, I know the amount of editing and inserts you put into this one wasn’t time friendly. And cranking a top 100 like than in under 60 minutes?!? Thanks for extra effort here Buddie! 🤘🏻

[@ozzy7912]

This is your best video to date. Thanks for sharing Dillon!

[@TheGuitologist]

Saw a ton of stuff I didn't even know existed. Now I'll be searching KZbin for fresh sounds. Thanks!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching! You have a great channel! 🙏

[@jasonroycroft1]

Going to work this morning, I was wracking my brain trying to remember any of the albums you were talking about. I could only remember the Gracious album. What a corker! A great album. I'm going to have to watch the video again with pen and paper there were so many great looking bands. Fantastic video.

[@bourkland1]

You have turned me on to so much great music I never knew existed! Thank you!

[@user-nt8gb5cq9f]

Dillon, thank you for showing to us and sharing all that info, your collection is plain amazing, most of the names are unknown, so it's the greatest excuse to start diggin'!!!

[@seankearney2592]

Hi Dillon,my name is Sean and I'm in Ireland,I just came across your KZbin channel and I have subscribed....its the Holy Grail site for anyone into vinyl Records, I just love your channel,you have opened my eyes and ears to some cracking good bands,I love Jazz,Blues Obscure Rock,all the stuff you like,its wonderful,one Question have you done a video on the top 10 or 20 Blues Albums,or is Blues not you thing,which I would find hard to believe, considering your wide range of musical tastes,keep good my friend.☘☘☘☘☘☘☘

[@marinagabriele6975]

INCREDIBLE......You have a lots of records that I used to listen (when I was young😀)....Farm, Morgen, Human Beast, Zerfas, Andromeda, Randy Holden, July, Moving Sidewalks , Warpig, Wedge...(Orange Wedge), Fraction etc etc.....I never thought that a young guy like you would be interested in these records. Probably my favourite record of all is....The Only Truth by Morly Grey but at the time I had only the counterfeit copy. You're lucky if You have an original one.....I know personally the guy who made the counterfeit copy ,...here in Italy, and I can assure You it's very very very close to the original.....apart (obviously) from the Christ's blood tear. To conclude.....I congratulate you....... You have excellent musical tastes 😀. GREETINGS FROM LA SPEZIA - ITALY

[@sylvainripaud]

Thanks a lot for the video Dillon, makes me want to listen to new stuff :)

[@bjarnesolhaug6698]

My favorite is the Surprize Keep on truckin’ - For the music but also for the extraordinary story of the band. GREAT VIDEO - great pleasure to watch - Thanks

[@jeffzemke4806]

I really enjoyed this. Thanks for the show.

[@stev0sterling294]

Wow! what a droolfest! My tops are Danzig 777 and Dead Kennedys Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. Amazing top 100! Thanks for sharing.

[@eldeluxo]

Such an amazing list, I share a lot of your musical interests. I didn't think I'd have any of your top 100, but I have two!

[@avery2896]

amazing stuff dude really thanks for getting me into so much obscure music

[@jansonmark]

Amazing collection. Really impressive.

[@elsamariasorforger5788]

great collection ,thx for sharing

[@bjarnesolhaug6698]

Fantastic video. Well done. Thanks!

[@nickmannion3879]

The Linda Hoyle was my highest ranked.....I have Irish Coffee, Dog That Bit People and Hank Mob. Soul Station but second press/re issues. I always thought Ben S/T was the rarest Vertigo swirl (I have a copy!) but happy to stand corrected.....but not got the Odin swirl! Was surprised to have 42 of the list but some old re issues/new re issues and 2nd or 3rd press but cheers for a great vid and list Dillon! Its funny but I suspect here in UK I guess I find stuff much easier re British/European bands but would give my right arm for what may be $25 / junk shop finds records of US bands (as my wants book is open at 'b'.....like Big Brother Ernie Joseph, Beverly Glenn Copeland and Betty Davis as examples) that have been chasing for 45 years! Keep up the great work!

[@markhaus2830]

Hi Dillion....... After watching your recent video I bought a few new records. I just got the Orang Utan and Truth and Janey albums in the mail yesterday. There not original pressings but vinyl re-releases but hey they sound great! I have the Parish Hall album coming in the mail now. Kahvas Jute, Andromeda and Irish Coffee next on the list. Thanks Dillion.

[@johnbewall9065]

Look forward to seeing a list of favorite blues albums You have one day. also good top 100.

[@tedlawrence4189]

My greatest rarity is an album recorded by both the beatles and elvis. It was recorded in 1982 in a small town near area 81. I have the rare cover where all 5 are sitting in the nude.

[@markspooner1224]

A great watch, astonishing records, I'm still hoping to find Victor Peraino's Kingdom Come, maybe one day!

[@SlamDunkRecordsTV]

You have an amazing collection! Inspired.

[@nigelcampag1290]

Fabulous set of records Dillon. So many insane records. Just today I could have a got a big one from the market. Turquoise Zeppelin in vg for £300. I thought about it briefly but a friend arrived and I passed it his way. I was thinking with my wallet rather than my head and didn't fancy the outlay. Of course in hindsight I should have got it and traded it for stuff I'd rather own. I'm guessing you would have liked to take it off my hands as I know you had to sell yours to help fund the shop. Oh well, not the first time I've made a blunder and won't be the last!

[@piotrdubiel7214]

The clean Zamrock is blowing my mind. :)

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Mind boggling list Dillion, it also doubles as a grail checklist for those who love awesome records.

[@noblerecords]

Haha yeah thanks man!

[@TheGorillafoot]

That Farm record is sweet. Been listening to that a lot lately. Must sound great on vinyl.

[@mariomarques9951]

What an incredibly diverse & interesting collection. So many I do not know. So when are you issuing invites to come over and listen to and check these out?

[@jimsteele3423]

Really enjoyed your videos of your 100 Albums

[@ludwigfan3013]

This is kinda off subject but I once found a sealed copy of Alice in Chains 1995 album on cassette at a thrift store for 50 cents. Love this channel by the way, I've discovered a lot of new music because of you.

[@sherwoodbergseid7409]

I always enjoy your videos. Even though most of your records are from the time of my youth, I only recognized about 5 of the albums you listed. My most valuable record is probably an original copy of the Johnny Burnette Rock and Roll Trio. I picked it up at an estate sale for $3.

[@dewey70]

Oh man, I had that Linda Perhacs when I was maybe 7 years old, got for next to nothing in a big box of pretty standard 70s rock albums. I ended up giving it away.

[@rogerscherer1694]

I have powerplant , moving sidewalks and the elevators Easter everywhere in my collection. They are rare, not too mention really good stuff. Farm is from my hometown. I have a couple friends with copies of that one. They won't turn loose of it either, dang.

[@ray1068]

I agree with you it sucks you couldn’t spend more time talking about each record. At least for me, I enjoy hearing your stories about how you found each record and what you know about each group and its members. I guess that is because I am getting back into collecting after being caught up in other things in life. I just recently got my collection back in my possession after about 7 years. My son had my collection and had acted them away in no particular order and not in the best place. Anyway, I have spent the last few weeks going through my records and checking the condition, seeing what is missing and updating my discord account. Of course I had to alphabetize everything. The next step is cleaning everything. I have over a thousand in my collection on Discogs but have a few hundred I need to list. I have 33s, 45s, and 78s. Anyway, when I am done with the cleaning I would like to talk to you about selling my collection. I really enjoy your videos. I liked the one I watched last night with you and your wife doing the trivia game. She was shocked with your knowledge as was I. So, keep up the good work and I will be in touch when I am ready to sell. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it is appreciated.

[@bf9616]

Thanks for this!! :)

[@briantriplett5974]

i think a list of the 100 most common & least valuable records in your collection (according to discog's median price, of course) would be more interesting.

[@fanbladeinstruments]

Would love to hear more about library albums, I got a big stack of them from a defunct radio station years ago, 20 disks from 1972, and another 15 from 1979, I also have a couple from Dewolfe but I'm sure your collection would dwarf mine.

[@888strummer]

Thanks for the great video; a lot of fun and some memories of some of them I sold on ebay many years ago. In checking prices on Popsyche; the ones I sold 10 or 15 years ago have gone way up in value. Oh and by the way...you've got an amazing collection!

[@noblerecords]

They have! Thanks so much for watching!

[@vinylrecordplayer]

Loved this video. You have basically assigned me 100 albums to check out, man. Already pretty psyched about what I heard. Great work!

[@noblerecords]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@SlamDunkRecordsTV]

Great to see so many Zamrock records on this list!!!

[@phantommuon]

Man, your collection is nuts!

[@emmanuelbarache8259]

Amazing video ! Thx

[@scottrap]

Dude, Fabulous video! Gracious is now my favorite band. “Acid Folk” lol did you make that up?

[@noblerecords]

No! It’s a thing!

[@asupremelove5149]

This video might as well be called albums I will never have 😆 Great stuff buddy. There's a lot of grails in this video and it's hard to pick just a few.

[@sethallison5682]

When your 100th most valuable record is an og Elevators album you probably have a pretty kick ass collection

[@andytravis566]

U Asked, We Answered! Love This D! This Is Why I’m a Subscriber! I Love It All Though. Don’t Stop Brother 🙏🤘

[@kevinjohnson8220]

Welp. My best Salvation Army record was an original 1966 Canadian stereo copy of Freak Out. I paid $4 for it in VG+/M- condition. It sounds phenomenal.

[@Conosur04]

I'm from Argentina and here one of the most valued records for its music and for the design of the vinyl record wrapper is Artaud from "Pescado rabioso"

[@bonzoboots]

Wonderful stuff, man. So many beauties. Yeah, I think Fraction ought to be #1, and the Lazy Bones, Linda Hoyle and Moving Sidewalks ought to be more valuable than the median value. I need to do one of these!

[@noblerecords]

Yes sir! Would love to see it!

[@harrysmusicroom]

amazing stuff!

[@dimebagdave77]

🔥THNX!🔥hope ur having an excellent weekend man

[@sheddingmyvelvet]

damn i gotta listen to some of these! great vid

[@danieloverbee2411]

Love your videos can you please answer a question for me? How bad does seam splits hurt the value of the records! I have an Elvis Presley 2013 Friday Music 68 comeback special still sealed with a 7/8 of a seam split on top of the jacket so, how bad does seam splits hurt the value? Many Thanks 🙏

[@what......records730]

Wow! Some great stuff there buddy! Just curious on how many of those you found in the wild? Without a store or channel? Cheers From Italy

[@noblerecords]

A handful were found out in the wild but most were trades with friends

[@jasonarsenault3791]

Loving the Canadian content here! 🇨🇦

[@noblerecords]

Yesss!

[@wryght]

Hey Dillon; good video. I'm glad to see you also have a copy of Vindication. I got my copy about a month ago. Now you and I both have the holy grail of christian psych (Fraction) and the holy grail of christian prog (Vindication). Dare I give you your next grail quest? Randy Stonehill - Get Me Out of Hollywood. Also christian. 10 - 100 copies made; no one knows for sure. I have a copy.

[@noblerecords]

Ah very cool!

[@big_burly_bro]

Killer thumbnail. btw, I finally got around to making a video for my most recent Noble Records scores and etc video.

[@ricobobe]

I'd love to hear some of this NC funk you laying down

[@noblerecords]

You can stream it anywhere, and it’s on KZbin

[@BG-id2cv]

Unbelievable collection as well as knowledge. Of the 100, I have only heard Bryter Layter by Nick Drake; I have the 2013 180 gm LP reissue ...does that count?!!!!

[@belle.m]

Hey Dylan, love your videos. Would like to know if you have signed copies in your collection, and would love for you to do a video on this. Do they increase the value by much, or is mint copy better? Could you also give some advice on how to tell if something is first pressing and year of production, as I’ve come across a few that are well disguised. Thanks mate 👍

[@wordtoyou4395]

It's Dillon. Here's a vid he did on identifying pressings kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHimp4Npf6xmjbc

[@SlamDunkRecordsTV]

Lazy Bones!!!

[@Localbandography]

That Palm label LP and that Placebo I would love to find OGs of.

[@josephinebranscum7837]

Wanted to ask a question, is any of the demo rap records from Atlanta Georgia worth anything?

[@Skyjacker_]

My most expensive record: A mint copy of Alexander "Skip" Spence (Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape), 'Oar' (1969). It's worth £700+. Apparently it only sold about 1000 copies upon release.

[@SecretCaskets]

hey man, quick question. I noticed you put the record in the back of outer sleeve to protect the sleeve from ringwear. I recently did this to all my records. Will they eventually warp without the extra cardboard support ? Thanks in advance

[@noblerecords]

I’ve been doing it about 10 years and it’s never warped any of mine 🤷‍♂️

[@SecretCaskets]

@@noblerecords Good to know. I'm gonna do this with all my albums in that case. It's less hassle to access the records, too

[@nothingimportant4504]

Random question if you read this and respond cool but: have you ever had an issue w/ those Vinyl Styl inner sleeves? I bought a pack a couple years ago and sleeve some records, and I’d say, on about half the records I sleeved in them, when I took the record out to play, I don’t know if there is some kind of powder on the inside or what, but the records had some layer of film on them, so much so that the logo from the inner sleeve was visible on the record! Luckily it kind of wiped away, I tossed those sleeves and used a different brand to resleeve. Hopefully just me!

[@elmemo9352]

Gandolf, great stuff

[@SteviesVinylCupboard]

Dillion, love the vid , bit disappointed not to find the ''ark of the covenant'' as per the thumbnail but hey still very enjoyable 😉

[@christopheforest3388]

Hi Dillon a huge thank you for this video! two questions,why there are so many records from Zambia ,just one i think from Nigeria and no from Ghana or Congo,for instance,Dr Nico is a very talented artist ! a friend of mine is looking for desperatly Duran Duran :Duran Duran ,(the wedding album) on vinyl edition;do you think it's possible to find a great copy for less than 100 USD,thanks a lot !

[@noblerecords]

Well I just collect Zamrock, so I have a lot of them in my collection. I don’t have the Duran right now

[@christopheforest3388]

@@noblerecords It's funny cos i ve never heard about Zamrock until Steven Carlson of VC showed records DD i guess it's not your thing lol but this record seems valuable You are from the Carolinas so maybe that explains Allison Krauss & the Union Station in your collection Take care

[@brendanboreham4196]

I'm surprised you haven't got "The Haunted" or a copy of the first press unabridged matrix of Led Zep 1! Have you got the UK Hi-Fi mag issue of Sgt Pepper & Floyd's Wish you were here?

[@maryhelenbuchele7342]

I liked AIC, GNR and PearlJam albums don't know the others. In my collection I own the deluxe edition of Shinedown's Sound of Madnnes only 500 world wide were made. Shinedown USA band has been named 1 mainstream rock band of Billboards 40 years. Lead singer Brent just sang national anthem at a basketball game where Shaquille O'Neil retired his jersey. SOM album is certified platinum all 7 albums platinum or gold.

Hi live in the UK and I have come across a 1965 Beatles mono that as been a garage forany years ,do you know what it's worth,thanks

Thank you bro

[@jacknjill3000]

When I was a kid in the 70’s I would have dreams of finding old valuable comic books. Records seem always availed and you always used to find at flea markets and garage sales for cheap. But now with all the record collecting going on lately, it might be now how to come by records for a dollar or less like before. Lol! I better start picking and selling in discogs before it all dries up or ppl. start knowing the values like comics!are now. Meaning finding a rare expensive cumin at a flea market or garage sale is almost impossible nowadays.
