[@markhutchins7808]

Never be ashamed of 70s Styx. The Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight are really good records. Ten Years After is really underrated these days. I love Cricklewood Green.

[@noblerecords]

🤣👊

[@stevekosak8624]

I totally agree i have all the Styx records 🤘

[@LeighStLouis]

TYA is amazing they are so under appreciated

[@billstutts6219]

Can't believe the electric prunes is in there...that album, psychedelic sounds of the 13th floor elevators, incense and peppermints, and the doors debut are all albums that are excellent renditions of psychedelic rock.

[@noblerecords]

I agree!

[@leetheman4165]

It's a crime that Johnny Winters Albums are priced so low, the man is a blues guitar legend. And the same for Ten years after, as matter of fact Ten years after "A space in Time" is one of my all-time favorite albums ever!! good video, thanks for posting!!

[@therustyrecord]

holy moses Dillon, thank a lot for mentioning me, really appreciate it !! 🤟🏼

[@rickhager3288]

You've convinced me! I'm gonna go out and get that Styx record, which I have seen ever since it came out and passed over. As for Ten Years After, Cricklewood Green is in my all-time top ten records. I had that Crowbar on vinyl, now on a CD burn. It is very good. Nice video here!

Yeah, I had Styx Cornerstone and REO Speedwagon too. Their values are not suprising, but theyve got some serious nostalgic value!

[@Onteo1]

Finally, love from the VC for Alvin Lee, no one ever talks about him or TYA. I only own 1 Styx LP and that is Paradise Theater, I’m a sucker for a love song, so I’ll pick that one up next time I see it. Great thread.

Funny to see a Mahogany Rush album in there. I saw them live 4 times in the seventies. Great band. Crowbar, another short lived but great band, probably played every dive bar in Canada. It's a shame I never got to see them live.

[@blondiebluetx64]

Loved Styx back in the day, still like them today but the music is dated for sure. Think I still have my 1st pressing of Hi Infidelity, too. I love it, still. All of my U2 are first pressing as well. Fun to listen to the older vinyl and new remastered LPs. How far technology has come. Love your channel. I share interest in some of your music favs but not all. It’s okay though, I just enjoy listening to your stories. Gave your channel a shoutout tonight on my Amazon review for the plastic sleeves. Based on your recommendation I bought some sleeves for all of my vinyl jackets, old and new.

[@terriatmore1133]

Styx was my first concert at the age of 14. It was their Grand Illusion tour and I won the tickets on a local radio station! Styx music is very sentimental stuff for me.

[@KoolKatDave]

No shame at all there, Terri! I loved the band, but I also like a lot of the stuff Dylan talks about on his channel - Hard Rock, Psych, Blues, Jazz, you name it!

[@JeffN-A]

"I Had to Much to Dream Last Night", turned me on to real weird songs. I heard it when I was about 11 years old. That electric Oboe, is so out there, I still love it! I could never afford to buy albums so I had the 45's. That is the only one that has survived.

[@robmills537]

Hi Dillon great video man Frank marino & Alvin Lee two great guitarist totally this made me think of Robin Trower I don't think I have ever heard you mention him ? ,do you own any of his Albums.

[@noblerecords]

Yes! I have mentioned him. Same story! Trower stuff is cheap and is great!

[@Lozhedgehog]

Hell. I got a copy of Ten Years After "Recorded Live" 2LP in NM media VG sleeve the other week, but not a purchase, it was used as stiffening in the packing of the record I bought. I asked the Discogs seller if he made a mistake, and no he really had put it as extra packaging! Never heard of Ten Years After but this record is so good, musically awesome, pressing silent and clean - and FREE. Now that was packaging 😂

[@zeemayba2169]

Too cool, dude! I have several of those! Ten Years After was an amazing band. I have all their stuff! Keep it up, buddy!!!

[@HBLUCAS]

Just bought the Frank Marino Live today. My boss at the record I worked at in the mid 80's turned me to that one (RIP Chris). Rattled the windows of the store many Friday Nights with it. Alvin Lee IS a monster as well. And I'm right there with you, I like Cornerstone too. Take me down to the Boat on The River...

[@pilgrimpassingthru]

Got an " audiophile " version of cornerstone. The sonics are incredible.... Also any TYA album is incredible, Alvin Lee is a master guitarist ... cool vid ...

Styx was one of the most unique bands in its time in the 1970s! Very complex music. Paradise Theater came with a laser etching on the vinyl

[@alanlough638]

Hi, Dylan. As for Styx, my favorite record of the band, is Paradise Theater. I have recently bought alot of import vinyl records. Germany, France, Japanese, UK, and the Netherlands. I also bought some imports, one from Bulgaria, one from Brazil and one from Italy. As for the one from Bulgaria, it's Genesis Abacab and get this-- it's out of print. As for the band Genesis, that band was famous for their stadium tours from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. Genesis, had their stadium tour, The Way We Walk 1992--1993. First off, I really like vinyl records much more so than CDs. Though, I do have a CD collection, due to the fact, that vinyl records disappeared from the store shelves in the 1990s, around 1995/1996. Bummer. Now, during Genesis's The Way We Walk tour, the band had 2 CDS, Vol. 1 the Shorts released in 1992 and Vol. 2 The Longs released in 1993. Now, at that time, vinyl records were still available in stores. I looked and looked for those 2 Genesis CDS on vinyl record and I couldn't find them anywhere, not anywhere. We didn't have Internet access yet, so we only had brick and mortar stores in which to shop from. I thought, to myself, that maybe those 2 Genesis live CDS were not available in the US. So, I thought well I at least have them on CD. Though, I really hoped that someday, I'd be able to get those on vinyl record. A little over a month ago, I lucked out bigtime. I shop on Ebay. So, I thought, I'll search for them on Ebay and see if those 2 are available on vinyl record. I found both Vol. 1 The Shorts and Vol. 2 The Longs on vinyl record. I bought both of them. Vol. 1 The Shorts is a Brazil import and Vol. 2 The Longs is an Italy import. Both of the vinyl records are in NM Mint condition and have excellent quality sound. Who knows, maybe these 2 Genesis recordings were only issued in other countries outside the United States? I never found them in stores when both Vols 1 and 2 were released back in 1992 and 1993. As for the France import, that I bought, it's The Beatles Sargent Pepper record. My UK imports, are AC/DC Black Ice, The Beatles Abbey Road, Genesis Seconds Out. My Japanese imports are 3 The Beatles records Second Album, Hard Days Night, and Yellow Submarine. I also have ZZ Top Afterburner, a Japanese import. I have other imports, but too many to mention for now. Keep spinning the vinyl!

[@richardfinlayson1524]

I bought the first Kursaal flyers album for ten bucks the other day,its great, country and rock n roll from the UK ,in 1975, they were part of that pub rock scene i guess,has a great version of mickey Jupps Cross country, is a good record.

[@alanburridge6947]

Those two Electric Prunes tracks are amazing! I Had To Much To Dream and Get Me To The World On Time just don’t date, they sound as great now as they did in the mid-60’s!

[@noblerecords]

So good!

QUESTION, do you own A Silver Mt. Zion's "He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms"

[@noblerecords]

Nope

[@EDWARD-tj1pi]

@@noblerecords oh and another question, have you actually heard every single album in your collection? If so mad respects man

[@extragold9]

I also recommend Crowbar's "Heavy Duty" LP. Great Canadian blues rock, "Heavy Duty' has a touch of psych.

[@mike196212]

I used to have that MAHOGANY RUSH lp back when it was current. I sold it a long,long time ago. Frank Marino is,like myself,a Canadian. I think he's from Toronto and the band had a decent following for a time here in Canada. Yes,he was doing the Hendrix impersonating way before VAUGHAN. That lp has him doing PURPLE HAZE as a finale. Naysayers used to get on him for doing Hendrix. That lp has a blurb on the back taking a swipe at the reviewers who never liked the band. He was still at it in the early 80s. Have no idea if he's still playing.

[@jammanist]

Excellent video !! Love that Live Frank Marino Album. Funny , the least valuable albums are some of my favorites. lol Like watching your videos and everyones here in the vinyl community. Just did a Top ten Discogs video the other day, really overall I don't give these types of price list much merit. Something goes in and out of fashion, or an artist passes away, even a new batch of pressing can effect prices. Last two years seen prices rise and fall. But will say my top ten, the top five have been pretty stationary over time.

[@grantheilmann8150]

So, I went to my local record shop and I picked up a mofi pressing of cargo by men at work for 25 bucks. It was sealed and I was so confused why they sold it so low. It's sold out on MoFi at 25 for the album and it sells on eBay for 80-90 and discogs says 60 something so why would they sell it so cheap?

[@chriss7164]

[@baron5432]

It’s not cheap, but I recently got flower travelin band’s first album Anywhere, 2nd press and it’s amazing.

[@noblerecords]

Amazing!

[@septoberenergy6542]

Another great label similar to Folkways is the June Appal label, which focuses on Appalachian Folk. Most of their records are dirt cheap and quite good. Look for albums by Malcolm Dalglish and John Mccutcheon for Appalachian style hammer dulcimer.

There's some real gems in that list. I own many of them. The Ten Years After is a great LP. Crowbar is another. They were from Canada. Mahogany Rush, another Canadian band. I don't quite get your SRV comparison though, other than SRV covered a few Jimi songs. That Frank Marino album is more like Johnny Winter during his "Captured Live" era and he'd be the first to say that. The first 6 albums by MR are much more psych and my favorites.

[@noblerecords]

I bought the Los Indios Tabajaras debut album for $1 and it's the record my wife and I play the most to relax. Absolutely gorgeous guitar work.

[@Labor_Jones]

I was 13 in part of 1967 and spent my summer playing around with Stocks from a savings of $50 Bucks! I was so cute that the guys at the investment company helped me discover how to make good decisions which resulted in making $500 bucks over the summer. Suddenly music became everything to me; I bought a handsome stereo and over 30,000 albums over the course of about 15 years. When I moved to Oregon I had about 3,000 LPS left in Texas where I'm from and didn't have the pennies to carry them or store them once I'd moved. I GAVE THEM to a Well Known Hippie in the Austin area (Happy Jack,) who in turned gave them to the ROCK ROLL Museum in Austin and which helped them begin their collection. That was about when the Vinyl draught began that has lasted nearly 30 years. ....So I played stuff I could on my guitar, Worked 3 or 4,000 gigs mostly in Northern Oregon and Austin Tx, but...... I stopped a couple years ago. I decided to end the drought and build a Stereo like I use to own, but only difference is my home is about 50 sq ft. and it is JAM PACKED with stuff..... I can't keep it all. So I've been thinking when I have time (later like near to xmas) I'd bring down stuff and maybe if it's stuff you like I can get enough to buy stuff I don't have from you. I'm not looking for riches at all, I'm looking for Music I had 10 copies of once and with my gear make WAV files so I have the ENTIRE Album instead of a Greatest Hit Record. .... to me the meat of the album is the material that wasn't on the 45. anyway :)

[@beauwilliamson3628]

My cheapest is 12" Promo for National Velvet's 68 Hours. That's a rare treasure that is. If you can get behind late 80's Goth Rock with a serious chops and a sense of humour. I can't believe that's the winner. Serious heat.

[@maartena]

I just bought a turntable for the first time in 25+ years..... and the Styx record is among the records that were in my wife's leftover collection of like 20 records. Finding the box with my wife's old records made me start to want vinyl again. I barely have 30 records in total, but that Styx record is one of them. And I LIKE IT and why would I need to be ashamed of it?

[@calvinwboaz7085]

How do you find this information? I see Discogs has the median worth of my collection, but how do you find the price for each individual record? I hope you don't have to look it up one record at a time.

[@miketomlin6040]

In an average sized record shop you can easily find 50 vinyls for a few dollars that are far superior to some they may be selling for a 1000$ or so. Which is handy if you are not someone given lots of dollars to spend on luxury items.

[@aquatarkus2022]

A large percentage of my collection is bargain bin albums. Starting in the mid-'70s I bought every 3-5 dollar record I could afford. I'm so glad I did, now I have hundreds of records that would be hard to acquire today, and they wouldn't be $3.

I'm not surprised by the Larry Coryell. I bought that album new for $3.99. The problem is the Jazz Fusion catagory get's no respect. I have sealed copies of the Mahavishnu Orchestra Inner Mounting Flames and Birds Of Fire and I guarantee they aren't even worth the $3.99 I paid for them new. I realized back in 80's that people and critics alike hate this catagory but that's why I love.

[@Veronique487]

ok, don't know where you'd find those prices. Just saw that Mahogany Rush Live album on ebay for $106.95!!!. Chet Parker The Hammer Dulcimer on ebay from ~12 to 25 so average $18.
