I Bought A Huge Record Collection!: Essential Vinyl, Holy Grails and More!

Drop a comment with your favorite score from this collection!
I bought a record collection and it was FULL of vinyl that should be staples in everyone's collection, plus a ton of rare and unique finds. In this video I'm highlighting some of the coolest finds. The collection belonged to a buddy of mine who is getting out of the vinyl game in favor of photography, and he has a very eclectic taste in music. In addition to the stuff I show you in this video, there's a few dozen black metal, doom metal, industrial and folk metal records that I can't wait to dive into.

[@brettthompson2743]

A Love Supreme is the best of the haul. Stone Roses, Sticky Fingers, Low-Life, Pixies, Hum, White Stripes. Great stuff.

[@grapefruitplussoda]

Very cool collection, liked what you showed. Always fun to see someone's taste and get a glimpse into their life that way.

[@colinmcevoy9787]

Congrats Matt, great pick ups! These are my favourite vids of yours, where you dive into your collection. More please! I've missed them

[@GrantKrules]

Ballads 1 by joji is honestly one of my favorite albums of all time. I love everything about it and I'm glad to see it in this collection.

[@dvdjamm]

$1.00 a record...Some guys have all the luck, lol. Congratulations! (More records for Portland!)

[@musicgroovin]

Somebody must have died and his parents wanted the records out of their house quickly. That's the only time I could see $30-$40 modern records getting sold for $1 each.

[@kadenzook3826]

As somebody in Portland, I want them all!

[@noblerecords]

Yeah..... you did good 🤣 That nick cave is amazing. I used to be really into post rock, that red forest was one I always looked for. Good to see ya!

[@TooManyRecords]

I blame you for inspiring me to buy collections :P

[@starsonsunday]

Great video, Matt!

[@guswebb1781]

It’s actually insane how similar this guy’s music taste is to mine! Very jealous Matt.

[@abadoxagoodox]

Word up, gimme dat heavy stuff

[@richyrich6267]

same

[@Rex_Manning-]

Awesome pickups Matt!

[@BD_MEDIA.]

Congratulations on the collection! 😎

[@Mildon44]

bauhaus is my all time favourite goth bands!! the first album you showed was "mask" their 2nd album. and press eject is a live album. My their 3 other main albums are just incredible! i hope you enjoy them!!

[@SamuelRivera_DAMN]

Great collection!

[@tylerchisman9434]

Very cool! What a nice pickup! Wrote some of the albums down and will check them out soon. Excited for you to try out the Love Supreme and maybe dive into jazz some more. If you want to try another Coltrane album, try Ballads. I really liked it and ordered the great sounding Analogue Productions reissue that came out a couple of weeks ago.

[@patrickthompson6814]

That Hum record is one of my all time favorites, haven't come across it in the wild yet, also the Sleep album is on on my list of wants. Lucky enough to see them a couple of years ago and they definitely didn't disappoint. Good Haul

[@BadEnglishRecs]

You should make another video about those metal albums next. ;) Nice haul mr. Finglish (Bäd English Recs)

[@fatpatwert]

I should start looking at buying collections....I need more always more!! 🙂

[@SaintMartins]

I have a promotional copy of the Bauhaus "Mask" album given by a friend who worked at a radio station. Only played once at the station to record 1 single track for radio play, then straight to storage until they station was getting rid of all their vinyl to make room for CD's in 1990. Also i have the original UK pressing of Bauhaus "Press The Eject & Give Me The Tape" vinyl. The UK version came with bonus 7" live ep called "Satori In Paris" & a poster.

[@lucienbeyea2451]

Awesome!

[@matthewhill9619]

Gonna check out Have a Nice Life and If These Trees could talk, never heard of them before but they sound like something I would like. Lots of great stuff there, great score!

[@user-ue6wg1mp3f]

Nice pickups with the Bauhaus. Re-issues of the Pixies LPs are relatively easy to get. I would say the original issue if Lowlife is my fave of this bunch.

[@Waterpixelz]

Oh I’m so jealous of ur tori Amos!!! Man what id give to have her discography repressed now

[@stevedamien638]

One thing i realized early in the collecting stuff in life. The chase and the surprise surpass the finds more than often and thats the fun of it. I fucking pray to fund little but great everytine i go hunt. Whats the fucking point and fun to go hunt and find 100s of it?! Even kids get that they always enjoy and master the few toys they own. If they have to many they don't use. Same as most record collectors. Most could never wristle all the songs in their collections. Not saying you are,,,so relax. But most are.

[@cameronhoff7430]

Matt! That dopesmoker lp is holy grail

[@rebels5785]

Awesome haul! Quite a few I am jealous of.

[@TooManyRecords]

Which ones?!

[@rebels5785]

@@TooManyRecords The Depeche Mode, both New Order, the Zeppelin box set, and The White Stripes!

[@6or7breadsticks]

wow super good find

[@PMajorTremblay]

Insane haul for what you paid! Wow!

[@setharson9256]

Damn! That if these tree album is rad and that dope smoker. 🙏❤️

[@ify464]

McCartney III is coming!!!’

[@richardthomas74]

I really need a copy of Full Collapse on vinyl.

[@TheCueUpBlog]

Damn I need a friend like Kevin ! Enjoy the journey ! Those are standards in their respective genres !

[@keithamandahall8548]

I have that same copy of Earth, The Bees Made Honey.. they did a brilliant job on that copy. 👍

[@adamkinowski2354]

That feeling when the twinkling piano drops

[@Pufoe67]

Stone Roses. Brit Pop? Tut Tut!

[@bananagumboot87]

Precisely. They were established a good 5 years before the Britpop scene.

[@grooveyerbouti]

Lol. My response exactly.

[@Menaljenal]

I am so jealous about the "if these trees could talk" lp😭😭

[@davidellis5141]

Very nice pick ups of Tori , Chemical Brothers , Radiohead , Pheobe , The Pixies & others. I have a tortoiseshell 🐈 with the same markings as yours. It's her house , I just live in it !

[@thedoctor8527]

When u pulled out the White Stripes album i actually gasped, ive been looking everywhere for that album, its nearly impossible to find that album at a good price

[@mikeables]

In ten years Keven will be in a place in his life where music holds more value. Then he will buy a new collection and always think of those past records that got away from him. lol. Happened to me three times.

[@slcpunk_]

You really need to get into Nick Cave!!! Awesome collection!

[@KvatchIsInDanger]

I also have Deathconsciousness (Top 10 favorites of all-time, easy) & Giles Corey as well as a couple other Flenser releases. Great label- highly recommend!

[@mai_m92]

Buena Vista Social Club ♥️ I don't have the money to get into record collecting etc, but if I did that record would probably be one of my first purchases. It's also one of the albums I like to use to test new speakers lol

[@TooManyRecords]

A great choice

[@lthecatt9667]

I'm jealous, as I want to go to my local record store, but I have to be in quarantine because my parents have the Big Rona

[@kevintrudeau6145]

Interesting story about that HANL-DC, I only got it because I friended Dan and bugged him and he found an extra after the 2nd pressing sold out.

[@TooManyRecords]

HA! And then maybe you're the reason he did sixty other pressings after

[@iosifmariano2310]

I remember when i was walking through a second hand record store gallery in downtown city and found a collection of cds... i returned home with almost 3000 Compact discs ... i think that was a crazy day xDDD

[@t3dewys]

ITTCT is amazing!!!

[@matthewwhitehead5505]

Re. A Love Supreme an undoubted classic, but maybe a bit of an odd one if you're not that into jazz... a bit like starting listening to rock via Trout Mask Replica or something. Try something a bit lighter first... some Blue Note soul jazz stuff from the 60s maybe; Herbie Hancock, Donald Byrd, Lou Donaldson, Art Blakey whatever. Try Mingus Ah Um perhaps, or My Favourite Things and Giant Steps Coltrane wise. Get your ear in with something more melodic and accessible. I would think you can appreciate all this stuff as it's been sampled to death in hip hop.

[@spacecowboy13b]

$300? F*ck me, that’s almost a robbery rather than a purchase! I’d probably be happy for you if I wasn’t insanely jealous. Good DK’s album that one.

[@ElkBit]

Jealous over some of the picks here! Just a few of these albums alone are worth the $300~ amount you likely paid for the haul! Way to go!

[@Arseyone]

Violator was a pretence to DM's darkest... that comes with Songs of Faith and Devotion and Ultra when Dave was doing too much of the hard stuff ... Violator though is the must have. I have 3 copies and the latest 12" singles boxset from the album and remains my all-time favourite album of all time, ever and mostly likely forever 🙂

[@ke6533]

Is there anything else on that 12" singles box other than all the songs from the original album?

[@Arseyone]

@@ke6533 Yes, there are 6 tracks in total you won't find on the album... Dangerous Sibeling Memphisto Kaleid Happiest Girl Sea of Sin And there are a total of 10 remixes featuring those tracks.

[@jvlentini]

You are a brave man. I have two kitties. And one of them tries to sneak up on me and rub rub rub static on me whenever I’m opening new records. She just knows

[@jonathanforgit2438]

Nice haul! Is that Fort Vine whistling in the background?

[@TooManyRecords]

An early demo of Say Hello, yeah! Had it on the channel as BG music for years, people are only now just realizing though hehe

[@grantheilmann8150]

I'd be interested in the led Zeppelin mothership and any rock or punk stuff like Zeppelin, the Ramones, the clash, dead Kennedys, etc

[@ke6533]

I could have sworn I saw you had a copy of Violator in your organization video? One of my favorites in MY collection.

[@TooManyRecords]

LMAO -- dude, you're right. I did pick a recent reissue. The problems of having Too Many Records... excited to have an early pressing nonetheless.

[@Surfacenoise67]

Lowlife is my favourite New Order Record .

[@TooManyRecords]

Underrated for sure

[@carywhitt]

Stone Roses - a truly fantastic debut. Although it's considered a Mad-chester, Neo-UK psych, or a "Baggie" record instead of a Brit-pop one. It pre-dates Brit-pop by a few years. That Nick Cave is a great record, but ALL of Nick Cave's records are great, Nice one Matt.

[@CosmicKai279]

If you have a list of the metal stuff would love to see it!

[@neutral_fox_hotel]

even in that condition, i’m jealous of that elephant pressing. lmao

[@TooManyRecords]

disks are super clean

[@mvxsdreams]

Would have loved to see the black metal records as it's my favourite genre 🤣

[@silvialeyva5555]

Do you ever come across rare Prince records? Any good idea on good websites to look for Prince's stuff?

[@damonodonnell7867]

honestly you gotta go deep into Nick Cave. Skeleton Tree would sound amazing on your set up!

[@matthewwhitehead5505]

So much of the best music of the past 40-50 years has been released primarily in 12" singles.

[@melvinramone2605]

Hey man, just a heads up: you want to keep the zipper on Sticky Fingers down. That way it's over the label not the grooves and won't damage the record or any that are stored next to it.

[@Agamemnon2]

Even then, the metal can wear a crater into the record next to it. I keep mine out of my regular record shelf entirely for that reason

[@timothydebie5850]

glad to hear u have a little interest in black metal... great genre

[@bitlandproductions]

You need Bossanova by the Pixies!

[@thevinylfreak9484]

[@markm9240]

SWANS? What ones? Are they OG? I'm a huge SWANS fan. I have about 2-3 on cd plus about 4 on Vinyl. Depending on if they were ones I didn't have, would you consider selling them to me? Nice video with your haul.

the Led Zeppelin box cover is super cool! :)

Here in Uk a collection like that wouldn't go for less than 2000£

[@jewbotcrusher]

300 records for 300ish dollars? Jesus christ, you cant get these ones you showed here in Europe for less than 20bucks apiece. Ofc, im talking about buying in bulk. If you would buy the ones showed piece by piece.. damn. a lot of money.

It was quite a deal

Kinda of a far fetched buy.

PSA!!! If you haven’t already, open the Led Zeppelin Boxset and remove the plastic inners!!! Hopefully, the person you bought them off of already did this, because they will damage your records! Theses plastic inners degrade over time and put an oily film on the record, ruining the sound.

I don't think 'tertiary' means what you think it means...

[@XxLiveMusicxX]

no hiphop damn guess u cant win em all

[@notdelinquent]

Pretty sure this whole story is fake or maybe it was a trade. No way someone who owned these records would sell lot for $300 or sell these records featured in a lot at all

[@TooManyRecords]

Not fake at all. Some people just don't have time to sell records individually.

[@kevintrudeau6145]

It was my collection, not fake, I just had zero interest in selling off piece by piece, I offered the collection at that price up on the FB group about a month ago. Having moved the shit through three houses I've been over vinyl as a hobby for a long time. Time is more important than money to me these days.

[@B1GGERTHANJE5u5]

Why would he sell these like that? I would put that man on suicide watch

[@SpeedoBone]

Happy for you but what kind of fool will sell you these records for such a low amount of money? If he had called a store i am prety sure they would have picked this up for a couple of thousands with no effort at all... so either a very philanthropic guy or you did some extras for him not mentioned in your video ...
