Engler's first Self Titled album! What a score.

[@RobertFithen]

Very limited edition!

[@jamiecottle5850]

Unbelievable garage sales finds. Well done. And you saved the best for last.

[@RobertFithen]

Thanks! Such a rare find and in the shrink wrap too! lol

[@lenwennerberg1631]

The last one pays for the entire box all by itself. 👍👌

[@Axel_Foley1970]

Great garage sale finds! It's always fun to find a deal like that.

[@christopherkibler511]

Robert, that UFO album is one that I have been looking for. Thanks, Chris

[@timothyquinn4870]

I used to live near the Coral Courts "No tell motel" back in the day! Thanks for the memory.

[@RobertFithen]

It was so notorious.

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

The Gilberto Jazz album is a good sounding album. The Girl from Ipanema was the big hit. You had some great scores. Well done my friend.

[@WordsRuinMusic]

You got some great records. Worn jackets don't bother me at all if the price is right. That is the kind of haul I'm always hoping to find. Well done 🥳🥳

[@dongordon4464]

I gota tell ya Their Satanic Majesties Request has always been one of my favorites since 1967. one of the first albums that I bought in a record store 1967

[@jazzpill2523]

You made me laugh so hard bro with Geel.. Baert.. To, and Steely Dan; though I am a big fan of both Jazz and Steely Dan, but I love the fact that you are a rock fan through and through, and NOT afraid to say you dislike Jazz, that's what I love about ur channel, zero bullshit and pretention! Definitely give Gaucho a spin, and if there is RL on the deadwax&oq pls let me know!!

[@RobertFithen]

Thanks!! It has the "RL", it's this one www.discogs.com/release/3313017-Steely-Dan-Gaucho

Jeff beck truth. Nice! Some great finds my friend. Enjoy!

[@vinylgroovers]

Jeff Beck and Rod on the same album.... yeah... sounds like the Truth lol...nice share!

[@danmoss2080]

Fun video. Two things: 1. I always thought it was pronounced like “Ahh-ja” - don’t know why! Who knows who’s “right” 2. It would be funny if Brian Johnson sang with the Beach Boys 🤣🤣

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

Great finds! “Jazz bullshit” lol. That Monk is a good record. Ultimate Spinach and Mr. Zimmerman’s first record are both amazing

[@bigstar33thriftymusiccolle7]

Good score on box of records Garage sales are hit or miss on classic rock in the wild usually country, country gospel, preachers on records are at garage sales The rolling stones finds are amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@RobertFithen]

Nothing quite like the thrill of driving 35 miles to one garage sale that advertised "records" only to find 9 gospel albums. lol

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Robert enjoyed seeing what you picked up at the garage sale and you certainly found some beauties. As you implied you don’t always find quality records at every sale but if you don’t go looking you’ll never find anything … never heard that Jeff beck album or that stones album 🤷🏼‍♂️. I do have that allman brothers album though . I like gaucho 🤷🏼‍♂️ and aja Thanks for sharing 👍

[@RobertFithen]

Thanks Rob! I'm hooked on estate sales now.

[@garrettmcnabb8471]

Can't wait to hear that Gaucho review! 😂

[@alexcaprio]

“You got some jazz bullshit in here” That made me laugh 😅

[@tdunph4250]

Excellent score Robert. Great deal in prices. I guess luck was on your side this time. Where I am in Ontario Canada,the BS is hyped too much and most if not all that you showed would have been over priced big time. I feel kinda bad for the young kids getting into vinyl and being hosed for like a Bat out of Hell Album where there are literally 15+ Million copies all over the place!

[@RobertFithen]

Antique malls and some flea markets are like that here.

[@CinemaATTACKS]

I originally started buying records in the late 90's with garage sales, buying records for quarter. It seemed like for most garage sales in the neighborhood, people were selling records.

[@RobertFithen]

The 90's was definitely the golden age for records at garage sales. It seemed like everyone was selling albums and moving to CD's. I wish I would have taken advantage of that.

[@davidtaylor6663]

great video Robert!! classic as always

[@RobertFithen]

Thanks!!

[@davidalejandrotabachnik1780]

I'm a Rock guy myself, but I'd suggest giving that Getz/Gilberto album at least one spin. It's perhaps Bossa Nova's pinnacle, including the magic of poet Vinicius de Moraes. Singer Astrud Gilberto (Joao's wife) recently passed away on June 5 2023. That Rock And Roll Over "blue tears" version rules, congrats on it!

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

It’s so vanilla. Meh

[@AstroNumpty]

I have the Astrud Gilberto debut album ... an absolute classic

[@rosiemason-rk4cm]

If you ever have a romantic evening with your lady then you can't do better than Stan Getz in the background. Probably the best album you have there.

[@BriansFunHouse]

I still see some records at garage sales ad estate sales, but horribly over priced. Very nice finds. When Paul Stanley cries, the whole world cried with him.

[@SeanKagalis]

7:12 Excellent score for the price. I always wanted it because Kiss (Ace) covered "2000 Man."

[@007KrausBean]

Years back my grandma called me and said, "I have a bunch of records in my basement and I want them out of here. I think they were your uncle's records. Do you want them?" So I went over and picked them up. It was a mix of records that belonged to her and my uncle. So many interesting records in there...if I made videos I would have done one about them because of how strange many of them were to get from my grandma. But, my comment is about the one I had never heard of or seen before in an all white cover with a green label record inside from "The Greatest Band in the World". Researched it to find it was the same bootleg you show, but mine has a perfectly white cover and the records is perfect. It is basically in perfect condition and I still have not spun it either. I may need to give it a spin to see how it sounds. I heard it was sort of a big deal as it eventually did get released as a Stones live album and was one of the first times a band got their hands on a bootleg and then released it as their own. IDK. Great haul of records.

[@RobertFithen]

Thanks! When I looked on Discogs, I saw several variations of that Rolling Stones bootleg, including the one you mentioned. It must have been great not knowing what it was.

[@erics8757]

Great finds!! Btw... orderded Cars high fidelity on the 13th, got an email yesterday saying they just shipped it. Your lucky you got yours in just a week.

[@SH-ud8wd]

Liver than you ll ever be IS a must have

[@hubtunes9607]

Awesome finds! Jormas solo album Quah is a must own. Its brilliant. By far my favorite of the solo JA stuff

[@RobertFithen]

I'll have to check out the "Quah" album. I've never heard it.

[@chaunceyphillips64]

The thing I love about yard sale albums is that most are autographed....not by the artists though.

[@RobertFithen]

Boldy, right across the cover. I've seen ridiculous ones that also feature addresses and phone numbers.

[@edrodrigues5623]

Absolutely , get a lot of records from estate and garage sales..Alot of people looking for albums the same way nowdays..

[@vinylrichie007]

Satanic Majesties Request is a great Psych album except the final song on each side. My youngest daughter loved Surfer Girl.

[@vinylgroovers]

I have to really do a deep dive into Dylan...maybe I have been missing something.... nice pick ups!

[@williamstander4877]

Robert, estate sales are great I have had great luck in finding records for one or two dollars in EX or better.

[@erics8757]

I'm jealous! I've never seen a record at any of the local yard sales I've been to. This town must have had a giant lp bonfire when cd's came out. BTW... I just got my Cars High Fidelity yesterday. It only took.12 days to get mine.🤦‍♂️ only 2 very slightly dinged corners, but it sounds great!!! I owe you one!!!

[@RobertFithen]

Glad you like it.

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

Great video man! I'm a big fan of Dylan's first album that was the first one I've ever heard of him, my sister had it when I was liking this second or third grade I remember her flying that

[@clydehoops6069]

That particular Def Leppard warped lp will never lose the edge warp. That's sad

[@RobertFithen]

It looks like the grooves are melted so it's toast.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Ultimate Spinach's album is truly awesome , one of my favorite psych rock LP ever

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

Mine too. I’ve got two copies but they’re both not in great shape. Not very forgiving vinyl

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

Got a ‘Standard Coltrane’ and two Elvis sun records(a 45 and a 78, both chipped but still!) at a Miami garage sale recently. If there’s records, you better be there early as fuck. Getting there an hour before sale starts isn’t early enough anymore

[@RobertFithen]

I'm learning that. Last week I got to one that advertised records half hour early and someone had already bought the entire box.

[@Mick_Ts_Chick]

My mom still has several of her Elvis records on the Sun label. Also an original Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes. We're definitely holding on to these!

[@mad4vinyl802]

Hit and miss for sure. Always inquire if you don't see any albums. I've been invited to look at more than a few collections that "were just too heavy to bring up from the basement". Garage sales have been good to me this summer. It's hard to keep up, there are so many people out there hunting. Very nice Stones boot. Both of the jazz titles are easy on the ears. Donald Fagen and Brian Wilson are coming back to haunt you after they kick it!

[@RobertFithen]

I've heard that advice, but I'm not sure as to how inquire what people might have at a garage sale on most sites. There's no email address or anything. One of them (yardsalesearch) has a comment section, but to my short experience, no one replies to it.

[@shimtest]

" forget about that Getz-Gilberto first pressing, time for some Kiss! "

[@iainneville7137]

Some excellent finds there Robert. Their Satanic Majesties Request, worth it for that great sleeve alone. The Ultimate Spinach l.p. is really hard to get hold of over here in the U.K. It was released here but is very costly - if you can actually find one. Lots of other good stuff in there too. Great finds, great video, cheers.

[@RobertFithen]

Thanks!!

[@garyscarpulla100]

I was at a thrift store this week rummaging through their records, found a few good ones (Faces Long Player, War All Day Music both orig presses in great shape) and then... Dave Brubeck Time Out in mono! I slide the album out .... and it's Herb Alpert's 9th! I rifle the stack to find Herb Alpert's 9th hoping they got switched, I find it and inside is ... Herb Albert's 9th.

[@RobertFithen]

That never happens to me. If a record is mis-matched, the other cover is never there.

[@garyscarpulla100]

@@RobertFithen I remembered seeing the cover a few stacks back for old Herb so I had a glimmer of hope with was extinguished pretty quickly. The good news is they pretty much had the whole Tijuana Brass catalog and a full compliment of The Ray Coniff Singers😂

[@prebenjensen-hg1ro]

Dylan grew up in Minnesota. He traveled to New York City in 1960.

[@davidellis5141]

I discovered Love as a teenager because I liked the cover that UFO 🛸 did on Lights Out. My Dad heard me playing it & picked up Forever Changes for me. I'm glad he did ..Thanks UFO 🛸 ! 😊

[@willhouse]

That Getz/Gilberto record is notable because it brought Brazilian music to the rest of the globe; Joao Gilberto was a keen collaborator who had a really great melodic sense.Monk was one of the genre's true iconoclasts; his style on piano was utterly unique, inspirationally janky & almost anti-rhythmic. Neither disc is one I'd recommend to someone who doesn't like jazz but they're both obviously filled with quality music.

[@paint1955]

I like Neil Diamond, love everything on Bang Records, and Neil Diamond Gold is in my top ten live records! His later work is difficult

[@RobertFithen]

Greatest Hits Vol. II would be the later work.

[@chriscorman734]

Great video. I love the Jeff Beck group debut lp Truth its killer. Went to a yard sale last minute month paid 2 bucks for a clean first release of Sly and the Family Stones "Stand" its fabulous check it out if you aren't familiar

[@RobertFithen]

"Stand" is a great album.

[@WordsRuinMusic]

My favorite part of the video is when you were being so careful with that melted Def Leppard. haha Also, I really like jazz, but your hatred for it is infectious. 🤣😂

[@RobertFithen]

I just did a video where I showed an Aerosmith record that someone had actually carved into. I didn't notice until after I made it how careful I was being with that record, too. Lol

[@cronejawford978]

Man, I was hoping you would have pulled out the Ultimate Spinach disc with that beautiful blue and gold MGM label. It's also quite a long album. --- About Gaucho ... I love it, but you're gonna hate it.😁

The Ultimate Spinach record was shiny, in excellent condition too.

My brother had Their Satanic Majesties Request when I was maybe 10 or 11 and I always liked it. I think it was the only Stones he had that I liked (I did like the single Play With Fire).

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

Monk for the win! If you want to sell that let me know man ✌️🎸

[@nellgwenn]

I'm wondering if you own one of the rarest albums in the world. It's a Beatles album called Sgt. Pet Sounds And The Spiders From Aja. It contains their groundbreaking masterpiece Layla In The Sky For The Benefit Of Shaft. It has been said that all known copies of that album were fed to the emperor Gulock in 2052. I find that hard to believe. But I must admit I never knew it existed or was recorded. I watched a brief documentary about it called Beatles 3000. The stuff they uncovered is unbelievable. I would bet that someone watched that video and said there is a movie there. And that's how we got Yesterday.

[@RobertFithen]

I've still never seen that Yesterday movie.

[@nellgwenn]

@@RobertFithen It's mildly amusing.

[@rocker11281]

[@johnfronczek2658]

Getz/ Gilberto is a great jazz album. It features “The Girl From Ipanema”.

[@jamesgriffithsmusic]

I also have never heard Bob Dylan's debut, just never seen a copy. Actually I only just finally found a copy of 'Freewheeling' in the last few months, after decades of looking. Surprised you didn't mention the KISS connection with Satanic Majesties! Didn't know about the blue tear on RARO.

[@RobertFithen]

I actually heard the Kiss version of "2000 Man" before I heard the Rolling Stones version.

[@romanlewandowski5027]

That cover photo of Neil Diamond is interesting. Had he taken up karate? Did he incorporate it into his performances like Elvis? I think Neil, Tom Jones, James Hetfield, and Roger Daltrey would've been great at driving cattle. Yaah!

[@RobertFithen]

I think he's trying to look casual. It's an intimate evening with Neil Diamond.

[@techdad5606]

Looking forward to your Gaucho review. I hope its as funny as Aja!

[@FingersOnAFretboard]

Starts off with that David Sanborn ''80 s Saturday Night...Live! station -break bumper music" saxophone that could turn you off, but...'lost' tracks like deleted 'the second arrangement' or' the Bear' could've would 've slapped ,however I like it's somber-light rock radio jazz 'Hey nineteen' creeping remorseful aging liquor n tootified snapshots of uptown loser reminiscences. it's a vibe that does take a few listens to grasp. I've had 'Third World Man' on repeat on a downer before, don't know what it means but like how it feels

[@RobertFithen]

I'm familiar with "Hey Nineteen" and actually enjoy that one. It seems like a parody of the creepy jazz-rock guy with the young girl.

[@ritchiebabcock3358]

all i ever seem to find are the records you mentioned the AL MARTINO`s etc,etc in my area

[@RobertFithen]

I'm learning that if people aren't specific, it usually means Andy Williams, etc.

[@Bigchet1223]

Never knew about the tear thing on rock n roll over. UFO is a great band. Lights out isn't even their best album. I got a cd box set which has all their releases from 1974-1986. All the album michael schenker was are included.

[@AsItShouldBePodcast]

Quite a haul! As you began talking about the JA Flight Log LP I said out loud at the screen, “It’s weird that there’s nothing from Bodacious DF on that comp”. Two seconds later you said exactly the same thing. Whooooaaa...we’re reading each other’s minds, maaaan. You’ll definitely hate Gaucho. It’s basically the same style as Aja, just as you’ve heard, but with the added bonus of lamer songs!

Nice finds Robert! I do a ton of garage/estate sales and you nailed it. Couple weeks ago was the woman with the $50 Stones albums. My best find was last summer. A 1993 clear vinyl limited edition pressing of In Utero for $5. Hey, you digging your ultrasonic? Which one do you have? Is it a pain in the ass? I'm debating.

[@RobertFithen]

The Humminguru that only does one at a time. I'm still happy with it, but there are better, more expensive options.

[@ediblehorse]

@@RobertFithen I dont think I can even do the 5 bills. Do you hear a major improvement?

[@jobeonetwothree2126]

I have a question for you. How sensitive is your turntable? I know on mine that Def Leppard definitely would not play. But it seems on my turntable even the slightest, smallest dish causes my tone arm to jump. So I'm wondering if I need to adjust the weight? Or maybe I'm at the wrong place and should take this question over to Fithen's Stereo Repair channel.

[@RobertFithen]

I have a Ortofon bronze cartridge so it's fairly sensitive. I don't think there's a turntable that would play the Def Leppard album. The grooves are melted.

[@victorbloom8286]

The beachs noys surfer girl was at one stage reissued cheaply by Capitol with fewer tracks…. As if a 25 minute lp with 12 tracks was too much! “In my room”sounds great in stereo on that lp

Capitol used to do that a lot with older releases, Mostly it happened in the early 80's. They did the same thing with Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits.

Decent finds , but no Dire straits ? I ask at every sale, sometimes they’ll say oh yeah I got a box in the house. Every now and then a collectible 78 rpm shows up, but ya gotta dig through a lot of Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra.
