[@richardriley4415]

I'm speechless. I don't have enough knowledge to pick most of those records you got. It's great that the hard work that you do was really rewarded. This collection is literally unbelievable.

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you Richard!!! It's still hard to believe! I've really got my work cut out for me (in a good way) processing all these records. I'm keeping most of them, but there's MANY i need to listen to so i can decide if i want to keep it, vclt it, or sell it!

[@granddillz]

That Annette Peacock you passed was amazing as well

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Goes to show.. most records are durable to withstand very cold Nebraska winters and hot summers ! Incredible finds.. you deserve this with all of your dedication and perseverance ! Too Cool !!! 💥

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah, there was a window ac unit in the garage, but i suspect it hasn't worked in a loooonnnnggg time! The records have a bit of a musty smell to them, but other than that, made it out unharmed!

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

@@VinylHunter Awesome ! And we know how to freshen them up.. I like how you take the shrink off off some records.. I've been doing that forever, except when it's nice shrink with a killer hype, just as you do ! Unreal dig Tuco.. I almost jumped in my Yoda, and hit 80 due east in search of this one !! Hehe ✌

[@markkilley2683]

I wouldn't know where to start either. I've learnt a lot more about records by watching these vids.

[@SantosLHalper33]

Man, not only the 5k record but the Ann Peebles and Annette Peacock, personal grails of mine. I don't blame you though. When you're rushed and have dug for awhile, mistakes will happen (I once passed a box full of 100 dollar psych 45s which I will never live down though I did take one). Like that other guy said, this is literally a dream of mine to be in a hoard of record like this.

[@alleykitty2131]

Absolutely ❤️❤️❤️❤️ your channel!! Binge watching all your great finds. Thanks for giving us all a background to all the records you dig up. When you go to the to the thrift stores and are thumbing thru the $1 albums, it's like AMSR, soooo relaxing! Keep on finding those great lps!

[@VinylHunter]

You are so welcome!

[@gootsy]

Coasters and Shangri-Las, I'm with you on this one ! Nice haul again, and every time that gives me nice ideas of records to stream (or buy when I can afford !)

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah! So many of these i haven't listened to yet! I've got my work cut out for me...in a good way!

[@otownvinyl1331]

Man that Phafner is a beautiful chaotic mess of an album. Just listened to it. I think I might have grabbed it because the fleeting glimpse reminded me of the back of Red by King Crimson. I never find what I’m looking for when I’m out digging, but I always discover new favorites.

[@monaural2.988]

What can I say, Tuco, but congratulations. You appreciate your Rock and knowledge that you’ll simply never top this as a music lover.

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you!!! I'll never see anything like this again! Pure luck that i happened upon it!

[@grz66]

Incredible score, wow!!!! I sold that Primevil album about a year ago for $550, the cover was not as nice as yours. My Golden Dawn is in the shrink and guess what Tuco, it's staying on it!!!!!!! Great video

[@VinylHunter]

Ha! $550 is EXACTLY the value i put on Primevil! I need to listen to Golden Dawn some more, but i wasn't totally blown away upon first listen. I'm hoping I don't really like it...it'll make it an easier decision to sell it then!

[@Axel_Foley1970]

Again, Tuco, this is amazing, and I truly am so happy for you. You deserve it with all the digging you do. Hope I find something even 1/10th as good someday. Keep digging!!!!!

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you for the very kind words! You ain't kidding...I hope I can run into something even 1/10th this good again! I was sooooo lucky to happen upon this!!! Thanks again!!!

[@offthebeatentracks4515]

Amazing stuff. I have no hangup over shrinkwrap, though I would have kept the price tag. That's a part of the record's history.

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah! In hindsight, i should have cut the price sticker out and put it in the sleeve.

Thank you!!! Yeah...I had the first two Budgie records already, but you never see their records, so i was lucky to get an instant-Budgie-collection all at once...including upgrades of the first two that i already had!

[@robison5396]

This is a dig straight out of the Twilight Zone, or as we say in the UK, you took a trip with Mr Benn through the special changing room door!!!...words fail me Tuco...oh lordy, what a dig!!.as the records were so cheap, you're only problem I guess was getting them all home ( then I realised you made multiple trips)..the condition was fantastic too, the storage looked decent though and the temperature and humidity must have been kept fairly regular to avoid mildew. Great that you got multiple copies too, you will make some serious cash there on those you don't keep for yourself. You work pretty hard at this game and I've always admired your sheer leg work and tenacity, so I guess this was your reward for that..congratulations!!( but I'm also very envious at the same time! ).

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you!!! Twilight Zone is right!!! It's still hard to believe! As far as the records being stored in the proper environment...not so much! There was a window air conditioner on the garage, but it wasn't working while i was there...and I'd guess it hasn't worked in a loooonnnggg time! 😂 Fortunately the records made it out ok! The covers show no signs of water damage or mildew....BUT, they do have a bit of a musty smell though! All the records that were stored on the floor got water damaged, and they all went into the garbage! Nina Simone and Lou Reed were among the water damaged casualties! 😢

[@frankgianetti2357]

i collected heavily private press hard rock and psych albums in the late 80's through to about 2005 - a good 20 years and i have or have had a lot of the monster grails - stack-mystic siva-fresh blueberry pancake-liquid smoke - fraction i could go on and on but even back then it was impossible to score a copy of Phafner

[@fthfhhdf]

[@fightingirishman77]

Damn! those are some amazing scores! allot of nice Psych hard to find in my parts and when you do find they're not cheap

[@VinylHunter]

It's crazy what was in that garage!!! Yes! Lots of psych! Metal, punk, proto-metal, garage...from the well-known to the obscure!!!

[@davidweber2143]

you flipped past several records I definitely would've grabbed. Amazing to see this collection. Thanks for sharing!

Dude, this shit is unreal. I’ve only found a few records like these in my 20 years of record collecting/digging. I can’t imagine what I would have done in a situation like this…. Congratulations!

[@VinylHunter]

If I only had more money!!!! There were so many great records that i had to leave behind because i just couldn't afford to buy them all. Truth be told, i overspent...i had to scramble to get next month's rent!...but, it had to be done!!!...too good to pass up!!!

@@VinylHunter At least you got a ton of other good records. Must be a damn good record tho. Just looked it up and apparently there were only 50 copies pressed, which explains its value. Reissue is cheap.

[@josephsaroce4991]

That was friggin awesome!!

[@m_recordz]

I am floored at this crate-digging adventure you happened upon! I wonder if there will be anything like it ever again - in the world. I take it you werent able to go back and grab that Phafner LP?! There are enough records there to open up an online store, and keep it open for YEARS without needing to restock. They must just really want that stuff gone. Imagine all the money they are losing!

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah, someone could have bought the whole lot and survived for a loooong time selling it!!! Like, there were soooo many copies of every Zepp, Floyd, Beatles, etc!!! I didn't know about the Phafner until months later when i was editing the video. By then, the records were gone. I know who got it though!...it was a friend of mine who bought A LOT more records than i did! He also got 4 copies of Maggot Brain, 3 copies of Marquee Moon, Morgen, Zepp II Robert Ludwig, and so much more!

[@JS-wi9mw]

Thank you!!! Yeah, these things, for the most part are super minty! ...they're dirty, I've got to clean every one of them with my ultrasonic cleaner, but they come out whisper quiet! The only issue is they have a bit of a musty smell, but not very bad.

[@hippydippy]

Major Bummer! That "Pot Liquor - Levee Blues" album you picked up is also another great one you passed on. Probably not worth a lot of money, but man it's good & worth adding to any collector's collection!

[@TorontoJon]

Lots of amazing records, Tuco! I'm not really familiar with many, if any, of those bands or artists, but you knew what you were looking at when you saw them and you have a great appreciation for those albums, so I'm glad they found you. That was a miraculous dig of a lifetime for sure. :)

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you Jon!!! Yeah, I knew a lot of the stuff...but a lot of them were blind buys too. I have a pretty good eye for spotting something that might be something good...except in the case of Phafner! 🤣😂🤣

Hi Tuco!!! i'm actually out of words..... that haul is so insane!!! Killer ACDC boxset, those two Picture releases are so good, they are a very underrated Dutch band i have been looking after, not easy stuff to get. Man that's two killer Dokken albums my favorite LA hard rock band. Wow two Tygers of Pang Tang, can't believe you got the whole Budgie catalogue!!!!

Super find! Didn’t Throbbing Gristle changed their name to another name? I used to listen to them in the mid 80’s and it was underground and not many ppl. knew about them. Oh, I think they turned into Chris and Cozy. Wow! I forgot about them and they were considered industrial music back in the 80’s.

[@jacknjill3000]

It’s interesting some groups that were not well know and underground, are still very Union but so great and ahead of their time.

[@deancronin6934]

Well that’s the dig of a lifetime, you can retire a happy digger, I have many questions, like how much per record? How many times were you allowed back in, can you still dig there? Will you reveal the location to Psyche Derek ? Congratulations!

[@VinylHunter]

I was paying approximately $3 per record! I went there i think 8 times. As you will see in the next videos, things soon changed there! They still have some records, but they are now VERY picked through! Ha! Psychederek is in an undisclosed location in Lincoln Nebraska, about an hour away from me.

I am still bummed I didn't get over to this sale until October. All I got was a bunch of common stuff for $1. Better than nothing though. I remember when that Siren album first came out. I have that Skid Row. I am a huge Gary Moore fan. I scored that Parliament at the Goodwill by your brother's place last year. Had the poster and comic book too. Great video.

These 2 videos have been thrilling to watch Tuco, I have to say. I haven't had anything close to this in all my days. Seems like you deserved it after all that hunting. The $5k miss is rough but you are waaaay ahead on this buy. When it comes to a mass of records like this, you are going to miss things. Anyone who thinks they wouldn't isn't realistic. It can be grueling doing this for hours, mistakes will happen. Congrats!

[@VinylHunter]

I suspect I'll never see anything this good again!!! What are the odds! Yeah, it's funny, I get comments like "Should have grabbed the Phafner...what an idiot" ...that doesn't bother me though because I guarantee they have no idea who Phafner is!!! I literally know hundreds of record collectors... experts in the field... none of which knew who Phafner was! 😂 Thanks for watching Dom! Cheers!

Dig of a lifetime! So many great records, this is almost overwhelming! Found myself a Golden Dawn og for a couple of euros here in France and that is one of my fondest memory of record digging.

[@VinylHunter]

Wow! Great score!!! I didn't even know what The Golden Dawn was...i just knew it looked like something I'd better grab! It turned out to be one of the most valuable records i found! Candlemass, is 4 or 5 for me, along with St Vitus.

@@VinylHunter solid top 5 with every aspect of doom metal! 13th Floor Elevators and Roky solo are one of my favorites so i was already on the loop for most of Texas Psych, like Moving Sidewall and stuff when i found Power Plant.

Damn, all those records...totally insane!

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you so much for stopping by!!! I've really been digging your channel!!! You kept me up way past my bedtime last night! 🤣 O watched your Dereck Higgins video, the spell VINYL video, a bunch of your live footage, and some of your shorts!

[@mylungpuppy]

@@VinylHunter Thanks man!! I will give you a shout out in my next video. By the way...you are also a musician? Still playing?

[@VinylHunter]

I just joined a new project. Helping some friends who need a bassist. Metal/Punk/D-Beat i guess.

[@fizzlebomber674]

are you El Cucuy?

[@deancronin6934]

Also I would have grabbed all the Ann Peebles records

[@grayhalf1854]

I clocked the Phafner as soon as I saw it, yikes! It would have been an ethical dilemma if the seller had asked you to make an offer rather than giving you a price, it's always awkward when you're put on the spot like that!

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah, fortunately i never set the price... I'd bring her my box of finds, she'd look at it and say "give me $250 (or something)"...and I'd pay the amount she asked.

[@cosmicvinyl2937]

What is that an air raid siren? Wouldn’t that have been a b!tch if you in middle of the “dig of a lifetime” and there was an aerial attack or a tornado?!?

[@VinylHunter]

Ha!!! Like we said though "I ain't leaving!!!" 🤣😂🤣😂

[@ezradarrow8964]

No matter how bad the shrink may be in, you never remove it bro!

[@ivancortina4398]

Most of us record collectors do cringe when somebody rips the shrink off the album , specially with hype and price stickers, it adds value to the album, it's like throwing money away.

[@glenwilcox5401]

Check that wasp Animal studio 12 inch. Had the same at one point -it was white vinyl.

[@VinylHunter]

I used to have it back in the day too, but I don't think mine was white.

[@cosmicvinyl2937]

Dude that Hardttimes is an awesome find Blew a chance to grab it awhile back Ugh! LoL!

[@VinylHunter]

Yes! I've listened to that one! I really dug it!!!

[@ThePhillydog1971]

So u never went back.. I don't know the story but hiw much were each record.. And where are they now.. I would of just bought the Lot.. After a massive bank loan lol 👍👌

[@stevekosak8624]

Man another great video felt like I was there&Man you grabbed a bunch of gems!!! I'm from Dayton Ohio so definitely know toxic reasons!! Nice grab The black widow dri budgie!!! And I'm glad you can have a little fun on yourself about the 5000$ dollar record ...You definitely won in the end!! again really enjoyed this video cheers! And even though I'm a Steelers fan go Eagles!! There just across the street !

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you!!! Yep! Super Bowl party next weekend!!! Yeah, this place was so crazy!!! I'm sooooo lucky to have stumbled upon this!!!

[@stevekosak8624]

@TUCO: Vintage Vinyl Hunter Did they offer you another crack at it to come back or did they sell them all?

[@VinylHunter]

I went 7 or 8 times. I went every time i could. More videos to come on that! As far as Phafner goes...i didn't know about it until i started editing the footage several months later. That's when i saw it and decided to look it up. By then, it was too late...the records were all but gone! I know who got it though...it was a friend of mine!

[@stevekosak8624]

@TUCO: Vintage Vinyl Hunter Nice!! Cool man looking forward for the next video! take care!

[@travisw6378]

haha nice video... i do the same thing, rip that shrink off, i sell many records at a store where people dont even know how much old shrink i remove, it just 90% of the time looks bad

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah! Back in the day, most people didn't put their records in bags...a lot of people wised-up and left the shrink on to protect the cover. But, now we put them in bags....better protection than the shrink! The shrink is usually wrinkly, torn, tattered, cloudy and in this case, very dirty! If there's not a hype sticker or cool price sticker on it, it's got to go in my opinion!

[@STAN-ik6si]

PHAFNER AND POT LIQUOR AMAZING ALBUMS 👍

[@JLStanton1968]

Hey TUCO, just curious what this guy's story was. With the promos, I would think he was somehow associated with a radio station, but then there are the Italian, Netherlands, etc pressings. It's always a sad thing seeing some hoarding situations where a person goes through a lifetime accumulating while never seeming to enjoy what it is they have, or having any clue as to what they have. By the looks of the house, he could have sold some to spruce it up a little bit. Great haul. Always nice to see the finds. Congrats!

[@VinylHunter]

I'm told he had a booth at an antique mall...standard booth, not records. The house was just used for storage, he didn't live there. But, get this! This is crazy...I'm told he always sold records at the record show....but he never had any good records there!!!

[@VinylHunter]

He buys and sells stuff. I guess he bought this stuff from many sources back in the day...my guess is, since vinyl died in the 80s, this stuff was mostly forgotten about. I think he had his hands full with other ventures.

[@thislazylife]

Yo TUCO. I know it's gross, but saliva works really well as a sticker remover. Just rub some spit on the sticker and let it chill for a few. I learned this tip from a KZbinr who restores oil paintings.

[@VinylHunter]

I'm not above trying that!!! That's what I'm going to try!

[@thislazylife]

@TUCO: Vintage Vinyl Hunter It works really well most of the time!

[@Davidicus-m8c]

dead kennedys id like to find some of their albums just to hear what they sound like.

[@VinylHunter]

Look them up on youtube. They're one of my favorite punk bands!

[@Bootradr]

Did you know that that LP was worth that much and just missed seeing it? Or was it something you weren't as familiar with and then you learned looking it up later? Either way, wow! That's like a slap to the face in it. Man I would love to find a place like that and be able to go through and take my time looking and buying. What a blast that must be! I bet you'll come across that record again in your diligent searching. You definitely won't pass it up a second time I know :-) Brian in Fort Worth 🎶

[@VinylHunter]

I had never heard of Phafner...I'll never forget the name now though!

[@varsityathlete9927]

@@VinylHunter i would have taken it, from the cover art. small label. its the art work, that for me suggests something. but we all have missed big ticket items. depends on the price of the record, if its a buck, ill take a chance. 5 bucks ok. its when its 20 bucks, you start to really get selective. so easy to just buy mediocre stuff, another problem for me would be how dark it was in the room, easy to miss damage that way.

[@samsquanch67]

Watching this is making me think I better get the wife trained up on record prices and what to do with them when it’s my time to go don’t want her selling them for $3.00 a piece 😂 nice scores btw!

[@VinylHunter]

You ain't kidding! I'm tempted to put values on the more expensive records. My family pretty much knows I've got some valuable shit in my collection.

[@tcthepackrat]

WOW .. so are you getting those for like 3 bucks a piece? .. Killer stuff

[@VinylHunter]

Yeah! Approximately $3 each!!! Insane!

[@selectedworks9253]

Just insane man! Awesome.

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you!!! My head is still spinning, this was so crazy!!!

[@davehuskey6424]

I only wish that I had heard about this sale as I live in Omaha too. Do you know what happened to the unsold records? Did a dealer buy the rest of them? Where did they go after that?

[@VinylHunter]

There's more to the story that will be revealed in the next couple videos. This was several months ago. They still have some records, but they are VERY picked through. All the good ones (and all the average ones) are gone.

[@davehuskey6424]

@@VinylHunter Yes, I went to that little store in CB that you showed. Found nothing. Nothing in there worth more than 1 or 2 bucks and they wanted to look everything up and charge discogs prices. No thank you I don't have time for that. Anyway I don't know how you do it. I mean going to all those depressing little towns and those depressing little junk stores and their crap records looking for a few salvageable albums. Oh well, keep it up and I'll keep watching.

[@andybarnowl]

You'll love Blue Mountain Eagle . Heavy hard rock

[@VinylHunter]

Yes! I'm digging it!!! Definitely a keeper!!!

[@waxreliquary]

I am really stunned that you found all of those Throbbing Gristle records. I do not think I've ever come across any of their vinyl. I can only listen to TG when I'm in a certain mood. They're a bit *out there.* LOL And TSOL? I've been wanting that LP for a long time. It's on my Discogs wishlist as is "Change Today," especially dig the song "Flowers By The Door." And all that psych? Damnnnnn! And sealed Trouble "The Skull." Wow! So much good stuff. Really digging this video. Congrats on the scores, TUCO! DKS! Fantastic finds. I found "In God We Trust" on vinyl at a Christian thrift store over 20 years ago. I think they thought it was a religious record. lol Jello Biafra once made fun of my last name way back in the day when he was on AOL circa 1993. I can't believe you found that Johnny Thunders Heartbreakers "L.A.M.F." picture disc and the Bauhaus one too. Amazing finds. I'm in awe.

[@VinylHunter]

Thank you!!! I always wonder if Christian thrift stores have thrown out great records like Venom etc!

[@waxreliquary]

@@VinylHunter probably they have. Anything with an upside down cross or scary looking cover probably gets tossed. What a shame. I watched 'til the end and saw the $5,000 record. I have never heard of that band before. Will have to find their music. Nice DRI LPs you scored too. Still chuffed about the Throbbing Gristles!

[@VinylHunter]

I'd never heard of Phafner either! I'll never forget that name now though...too late!....I'll never see it again!

[@TheHeckler85]

Last I checked that Bowie record sells for upwards of $500, that is absolute theft if you bought that for 3 bucks lol

[@VinylHunter]

One of my biggest scores!!! The vinyl is super nice too!!!

[@davidweber2143]

Any Jazz in there?

[@krwd]

you would think the owners of this would put up some lights
