Over 10, 000 Records At This Estate Sale! What Did I Find? (A few decent records)

[@Hedgeknight]

Heaven Tonight is one of my top 5 albums and when I jumped on the Cheap Trick train 😁🚂

[@michaelivan9066]

Cheap Trick did the 2 members together on the front and back due to the contrast of the 2 good looking guys and the 2 oddballs. On In Color the poster boys are on Harley’s on the front and the other guys are on tricycles on the back. That is a fun album as well as their debut album.

[@chestrendy]

@@michaelivan9066 Cheap Trick had an obvious image. Like Robin's long hair and suit and tie. Or Carlos' cigarette.

[@danielking1850]

Yep, they had a great sense of humor about that! Loved it. Great band.

[@flankarthur666]

Hawkwind cool ! I have an 80's copy ... never seen the original cover. Thanks !!!

[@danmoss2080]

Lovely stuff. I picked up Manifesto (Roxy Music), Boys and Girls and Another Time Another Place (Bryan Ferry) for three pounds each today and am extremely happy about it. Nice to listen to someone else’s reviews too. 👍

[@turbomixKWVA]

Nicely done with the Eddie Murphy “Nothin’ From Nothin’” lyrics! I can never hear that song without hearing Eddie in my head! 😂😂😂

[@JWD1992]

If you found Hawkwind, it was worth it. Wow, the Midnight Rambler comparison is spot-on. I feel like Hawkwind are out there yet somehow still very accessible. Holy shit, Robert, you showed another picture of an 8-track I submitted to Discogs. You did it with my Columbia House Houses Of The Holy. Even weirder, I got those together! They are also the only two 8-tracks I have submitted, as I do not own many. I have also uploaded my vinyl copies of (X(?)) In Search Of Space and Ohio Players Pain (not mine pictured) to Discogs, so I guess the moral of the story is I am on Discogs too much. Can't wait for the Sunflower versus a cassette player cleaning tape with no audio video!

[@RobertFithen]

Wow! That's quite a coincidence. You upload the most noteworthy 8 tracks!

[@clevebaker8399]

Record searching is a challenge and labor of love!! But when you find a masterpiece it’s makes it all worth while!! Great job!!

Yea Robert that does sound like the typical estate sale record selection as of late. Its a middle point between the years when family’s didn’t know about valuable records and the coming years where all the tabernacle orchestra and Perry comos will be extinct

[@smallcircles8744]

Thank you for doing this video! I'm in Sw Missouri and almost made the drive up after seeing that listing! Glad I didn't cause you did! Haha

Someone apparently came all the way from Georgia for the 78s

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

I’d definitely have gone to that estate sale, but, yeah, seeing those crappy box sets screams “hoarder”. The family culling the Beatles and Stones wouldn’t have deterred me a bit, the non collectors always miss good stuff. Always fun digging through tons of records

[@RobertFithen]

Absolutely

[@dimebagdave77]

HA - I get it

[@weirdspins6315]

I would have wound up with that Bobby Moore fooled by the cover too. The model is a cutie... I'd be hoping for an Aretha vibe... The Space Rock thing campy or no by Visitors sounds like my groovw 100 percent. I love campy concept records. I'd probably have wound up just surfing for random picture discs and colored vinyl...

[@Diabolik771]

My favorite Hawkwind album. It was one of the first records I was looking for when I started collecting records.

[@Strimbles]

I love Heaven Tonight, great album. My fave however is the debut Cheap trick album 1977, it's insanely original and every song is amazing, check it out.

[@RobertFithen]

I have that one. It was one of four that I had heard before

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Hello Robert, I have never watched you before and really enjoyed your tale of the dig. Humor, mortality AND discovering "Heaven Tonight" (one of my fav Cheap Trick albums)...made for an action packed time. New subscriber!

Cheap Trick Heaven Tonight was always my favorite CT close to the debut, had it on 8 track tracks like On The Radio, High Roller & Hello How are You just a strong album start to finish also impressed with your 80s porn golden era trivia lol

[@Steve104813]

Johnny the Fox was my 1st Lizzy record. All we heard in the 70's was Boys and Jailbreak, started collecting and was knocked out by all the great tunes on other records. I never see nor do I own Hawkwind records at record shows in Maryland, will have to pony up on ebay I guess, so you found a nice one! Keep up the great videos Rob!

[@RobertFithen]

Thanks!!

[@johnfronczek2658]

“Heaven Tonight” is an excellent Cheap Trick album. I also suggest “In Color” (1977).

[@randymixter7432]

Glad you found some decent albums there. An 'already been picked over' comment is usually a thanks but no thanks from me, but with all those $5 albums available you have to assume there would be several gems to be found. Worth taking a chance on for sure.

[@BBlooger]

Love that Cheap Trick album.

*yikes, I feel as I went through 10,000 records watching this. Thanks for starting with the best record found...*

[@FlyJohnny100]

The inappropriate covers on those Ohio Players albums are faves of mine...music's even better. Heard a few tunes of that Thin Lizzy, been meaning to check it out. It's a lot to sort through, but fun to hear about the experience and groovy finds. Way better than another review of Revolver.

[@parasitesundinism]

I Have That Hawkwind Album the only one I have; Anyone I play this for I always say "Wanna hear something Weird?" first - Thay are never disappointed. What Came first the drugs or this album? Snowy White? Rogers Waters' Snowy White? Interesting.

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

I love that Hawkwind album!

[@CBCDs]

Deniz Tek had a band called Visitors in the early 80’s. Only one album with that name. Like a Doors/Stooges sound. Australian band leftover from Radio Birdland split up… Thanks for the video. Makes me want to look into estate sales around here

[@RobertFithen]

You should, but you need extra time to wait before the sale. If you're not first or one of the first, everything will be picked through. Learn about line numbers, too.

[@rs500gsoat]

Estate sales I usually avoid. The other thing that happens is the family hires a company to inventory and price items. And what they don’t cherry pick for themselves is basically overpriced. My best finds just come from garage or community sales where you don’t expect to see records.

[@RobertFithen]

I've had better luck at estate sales. Sometimes, there's so much stuff that they just make all albums the same price. They seem more concerned about pricing jewelry, etc.

[@driftwoodpile]

Cheap Trick was classic for putting the two good looking guys on the front cover and the two goofy looking dudes on the back. THey did this on like 4 or 5 albums i think. (Buddokan, in Color, etc..)

[@RobertFithen]

I never noticed that before.

[@johnnybutler4465]

I hope you didn't pay $5 for those trashed records. 'Great video, Sir. THX!

[@RobertFithen]

No, I didn't buy the trashed ones.

[@AsItShouldBePodcast]

Came to the comments to say that if you like Heaven Tonight then you definitely should get the first two Cheap Trick albums...but looks like I was very much beaten to that punch.

[@RobertFithen]

I have the first one. I don't think I've heard "In Color"

[@nocturnal-io9vq]

Cheap Trick certainly had some "dark" songs on their early albums (you mentioned "Auf Weidersehen"); their 1st album has a few, for sure. Looks like a fun and interesting estate sale, even though the pickin's were a bit slim!

[@RobertFithen]

It was fun either though it took a lot of looking just to get these mostly common albums.

[@chestrendy]

Hard to imagine why, but Capitol has reissued the Duophonic Pet Sounds.🤔🙉

The Butterfield album is actually their 4th. The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw was the 3rd.

[@haweater1555]

24:25. My sister was a huge Anne Murray fan and of course owned "Hippo" to make a collection complete. I refer to it as Anne"s most embarrassing album.

No log book.

[@tonystephens6858]

I went to an estate sale that advertised, "hundreds of old records". I went. After digging through Perry Como, Liberace, Slim Whitman . . . well, you get the idea. I came across an original 1st pressing of Orangutan. How the heck did that end up there? You never know my friend, you never know.

[@RobertFithen]

That's what I always think.

[@MickSupper]

Once I found a 2nd state butcher cover at an antique mall for 8 bucks (with a sticky note that said "as-is") in a box of about 40 crappy records. I almost didn't even bother looking through the box like I typically do, but glad I did.

After hearing your talk about Bobby Moore's Hamburger Song, I had to give it a listen on Spotify. It wasn't familiar to me, but I wonder if perhaps it was taken from kids' jump rope skipping rhymes?

Estate sales with thousands of vinyls can attract a lot of diggers or almost no one, seems to be quite random or who happens to be free that day and noticed the sale. I always go, that sale looks like a 5plus hr adventure if you collect or sell 45s and 78s.

It took less than a couple hours for me, but I only looked through the albums.

[@miketomlin6040]

I see Mormon Tab choir here alot like pairs of mormons on UK streets nobody dresses here like FBI closest is freemasons and school uniforms (going off at a tangent) you seem the kinda guy not too bothered but at least had a bit of interaction with the other collectors. Super competitive collectors though are a bit of a pain barging in, don't mind proper non dealing crate diggers because they will actually be keeping what they find. We don't really have estate sales here as often house clearance guys pick up everything and dispose of it outside the house so could end up anywhere from auction to a dump shop which makes more exciting for me.

[@RobertFithen]

The sale was so large, there was room for everyone for the most part.

[@sjbang5764]

I have a theory as to why the Ohio Players album has the huge gouge in it that you say looks like it was done on purpose. Well, the person who spent hard earned money on it took one listen and after hearing those horns and cheesy wah-wah pedal effects went nuts and took his hash pipe and ran it across the records surface, or....

[@RobertFithen]

It definitely looks like it was done purposefully with passion. Lol

45s for $3/each is crazy, assuming most of them are standard hits. I like to find 45s when they are $1 (or less) each and completely unsorted. If people care enough to alphabetize them or know enough to price them appropriately, you won't find any steals.

[@RobertFithen]

Not only were all of these records (all sizes) alphabetized, they were logged into a database. My favorite price for 45's usually has a slash in it, like 4/ $1.
