I Bought a Serial Killer’s Record Collection!

I love this channel because it's the only one I know that goes from "this record is killer" to "this record is a killer's."

Full circle!

Maybe "Thriller" Vinyl were his trophies. He might have been The HeeHee Slasher. I will say I think the nicest, most normal seeming people have the craziest collections.

Patrick Bateman, the character in Brett Easton-Ellis's 'American Psycho' listens to stuff like Huey Lewis & The News , Robert Palmer and Phil Collins.

This is quite possibly the best and most interesting VC video EVER.. i said it✌️🤘😁

[@noblerecords]

🤣🤣 thank you sir. 100% True Story!

[@asupremelove5149]

Funny enough this reminded me of a story from a buddy of mine that worked in a music store in Dallas in the 90s. Couple of guys pulled up that didn't look like normal music fans. Turns out they were govt agents. The request was "Help us find the loudest most obnoxious music you can find." Of course they obliged. Turns out they were heading to WACO. My buddy found out later the music they were buying they were going to use on David Koreshs compound during the siege You just never know who's going to walk into your store and for what reason - Tree

With it being close to Halloween, I think it was the perfect time to talk about this collection. Now you peaked my interest in this story so I now have to dig into this a little deeper. Great video, it's a shame that the collection he had wasn't as crazy as he was.

That’s a great story just want to say though that, luckily, you weren’t invited to buy his record collection before he was caught. 😅

[@John-et5wu]

It makes sense to think that a serial killer would have a weird music taste and better records, but to me a serial killer having a very normal mundane music taste makes the most sense. It reminds you of how outwardly normal and non weird most serial killers actually behave.

[@rickgarcia5793]

This subject has come up before on a Podcast I listen to, and it seems that most, if not all, serial killers have very mundane tastes in music. You'd expect stuff like The Misfits or Slayer but it's mostly stuff like Styx or James Taylor 😂

Perfect VC horror story for Halloween! Thanks for sharing, Dylan.

[@N0rthT]

OH! I’d be looking for that record that Buffalo Bill was listening to in Silence of the Lambs. I looked it up not long ago and it’s easily a $400 record. I like it. It’s a bit shoegaze I’d say. I’m loving this video already. Alright…. I suppose it’s an American Psycho situation… just likes Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. The Thriller albums! I love thinking that the guy figured they’d be worth a lot of money someday because it was so popular. It cracks me up, thinking about a psycho killer doing the same mundane stuff we all do. Remember that Halloween movie where Michael Myers drove a car? All the fear of him left me when I imagined him a a four way stop, getting frustrated that another driver isn’t going when he waves them through…. Do you think he uses his turn signals? It’s beautiful how our guy talks about his relationship with his wife. She lets him be him and he appreciates her so much that he wants to make sure she’s alright with what he’s doing. He also values her opinion so much that he’ll check his own desires if she really thinks something is a bad idea. Probably because he recognizes she’s often right and wanting to show her the same love and respect she shows him when he brings home boxes of filthy records.

Not sure I would have admitted this Dillon 😆 this brings the vinyl addiction to an entirely different level “He murdered how many? Oh ok. Mmmm…were his Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Song Of The South versions by any chance? 😬”

[@Judy_P]

What would it have said about the killer if his Mama Lion album had the "other" cover? Also, is there any significance to the fact that Lynn Carey performed the vocals in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls?"

[@verndebes892]

I noticed on the introduction of your video show a picture of a Joesph’s album! Interesting did you know that they recorded an album as Come on the dandelion label owned by Jim musil! He tried to lease to mainstream along with an album I produced! Only a 45rpm single was released! I’m not sure why mainstream turned it down! The single is very hard to find!

[@GustavoScafuro]

A serial killer without a killer collection...what a bummer lol I would be surprised if the Exciter album was Violence & Force \m/

[@johann_casparbaumgartner6972]

Or *"Unveiling the wicked"* maybe? I am kinda surprised it was - like he said - the selftitled "Exciter" album from 1988! and not one of the much more known first four albums....?!? But, oh well, the first song on that album was *"Scream Bloody Murder"* ...

Good video. An honest entertaining story. We all have a macabre experience, as you said, working in a record store. At Waterloo Records in Austin back in 1990, I sold a cd to a murderer ( dark stuff - the kind you flashed at the beginning) I understand hesitating in sharing.

If you were going to recommend just one album to a collector that liked a lot of genres, which would you say, “get this one.”

11:01 "if there's an interesting story behind it I'll try to keep one just so I have something to remember it by." That's just what a serial killer would say lol thanks for sharing, very interesting story. I had the same thoughts as you that it would be some super interesting stuff then it turns out to be a regular guy's record collection. I'm sure "he seemed so normal."

[@noblerecords]

Hahahah oh no! I’m keeping trophies! 🤣

[@JimmyV1530]

Well that's a vinyl collection story you don't hear every day, thanks for sharing this Halloween season. 🔪🍽

[@erikmolnar6585]

That is a funny correlation! I always get vibes, especially with dj collections. Not so much 1 record, but a whole crate of them. We bought a collection from a military person who was stationed in Germany. Huge collection and super cheap. All the records were so clean. I felt like he just went to clubs and bought records as an afterthought and didn't play many gigs if any? There was some small legal paperwork in one of the crates. Like a card. I think the guy got in trouble in the military? Something that included alcohol like a bar fight or whatever

[@brianjames5685]

In England we had the satanic panic. Bands were accused of all types of crazy things. Then we had a lady called Mary Whitehouse who decided it was "video nasties" that were responsible for everything that was wrong in the UK. They banned lots of horror films and elevated them into a coolness that they never would have had. That all happened and then we got more rock/heavy-metal music based satanic panic. Then they went after hip-hop and rap. They are still trying to do similar things. The last 5 years have been the worst time I've ever known to be in England and the governments answer was - We need to investigate the Oasis reunion concerts ticket prices lol.

[@01real1]

There are Danny Rolling's songs (demos from tape) on the web (youtube): Mystery Rider, It's A Gray Way, Broken Hearts - folk rock, nice vocal and lyrics. Maybe you could issue those songs on vinyl, after cleaning the tape noise/hiss and resolving copyright issues? People say there's a whole cassette tape somewhere. And, yes, it is that Danny Rolling, a killer.

I used to visit USA from UK looking for soul 45s from 70's to 90's. One of my contacts was Dennis West. Last time I saw him his wife had been murdered and I think he was a suspect according to other dealers I knew. Pretty sure he told me himself. Still 45s were cheap, I got some nice Northern Soul records and who hasn't toyed with the idea of offing the wife.

I'm not typically interested in the matter of serial killers, but I do want to know- how were the records maintained? I'll bet that Dexter takes extremely good care of his vinyl. His jackets, too- probably has them perfectly sleeved, both the LPs and the jackets. Seriously, though, it's a horrible thing, what (in reality) such a person does. Just trying to make a little light out of the darkness. No disrespect meant to anybody.
