Noble Records, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

[@bigsweetc6]

This’ll get the haters out! “Waaah- why don’t you post records we can afford “ I respect your love and passion and hard work to achieve your big collection. I know the value is the least important part-the music and history and tangibility of old presses is what matters the most!

[@njwtube]

Ha 😂 you're not wrong. I think it's more that the records are so expensive and so bad that gets the haters out. That fraction moon blood album is near unlistenable !

[@bigsweetc6]

@@njwtube I actually like that Fraction record but I’m into weird punk, psych and jazz. I’m not sure I’d be willing to pay the big bucks to own one even if it was a “good deal” which is probably still over a $1000

[@njwtube]

@@bigsweetc6 Yeah the value of some of these is literally down to scarcity, but that isn't always a good thing. I mean a Beatles album that was rejected (presumably as the mix was bad/didn't sound how George liked?) I just don't see those as desirable. I've seen the green Led Zep before and that was changed because the band preferred red. Where does the desire for something the band didn't even want to put out come from? I find it strange that people revel in those as some sort of grail when in reality the artist you're supposed to be supporting / enjoying would be annoyed that copies even existed

[@noblerecords]

People like what they like. I absolutely love fraction, and can’t imagine someone not liking it. But to each his own, I won’t criticize your taste.

Would love to see a video on what Zeppelin presses you recommend for the super fan and the average fan.

[@Tsargad]

That Fraction album always looks so damn good. I’d never heard of it until your channel and enjoy it a fair bit on Spotify. Looking forward to the re-release to own a physical copy. Keep up the good work mate.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks! It’ll be soon!

[@jtclarks]

Love the video, definitely interesting. I collect white zombie records. I actually have a test pressing of their first 7 inch from 1985 gods on voodoo moon. No record whatsoever on it but thatd basically what started Robs career. Also have test pressing of their second release Pig Heaven, no record on that either.

[@CrateEscapeVinyl]

Great video, haters gonna hate man, can’t wait for the Yezda and the next couple I have heard about, got my Prody and Dragonfly, thank you so much for everything

[@srmeks28]

Great video as always. I wonder do you have some of the EX-YU (former Yugoslavia) rock records? Ex-yu rock scene was a thing in the late 70s and 80s. Suggestion for video, show records from different countries that are not that common as US, UK...

[@Vinylly_Found]

Wow. Never heard of any of these Bedford zeppelin an the few you have shown before. Heard that in the underground market. I spent have spent way over sales history for Brazilian records because that’s what they go for if you actually want to buy a decent copy. Thanks for the video. Cheers!

[@dimebagdave77]

Thanks man! He’s a favorite for sure!

[@59bluesman]

Hey, Dylan! It couldn't be better timing with the video. Today I ordered Truth & Janey Just a Little Magic original press from 1977 in NM condition which might be the most rare album I'll have in my collection, especially considering where I'm from. It happend to be pretty close by to me, so it was probably like a once ever deal kind of thing. If it wasn't for you bringing up this underrated band in the first place, I most likely wouldn't have discovered them. Greetings from Sweden!

[@noblerecords]

Awesome! I live truth & Janey!

[@outonthetiles]

I just love your passion for Zeppelin. I was lucky enough to score a white label Zeppelin 1 which I absolutely treasure. They are my fav bands too. Love your channel…watching from 🇨🇦. Cheers ✌️

[@kingelvis1956]

Hi, Dillon. I just subscribed to your videos because I have been watching about every one that you’ve done and I can relate to your enthusiasm as a collector of records myself for the past 47 years. My collection is comprised mostly of Elvis Presley because he will always be “the king” and I see many of his records as an investment. One thing I wanted to touch on is a very recent sale on eBay of a sealed copy of Led Zeppelin II. This particular album sold for over $800! I couldn’t help but wonder if it was you who won the auction because I know that album is your all-time favorite Led Zeppelin album. It was astounding to see that record sell for such an amount! Anyway, keep up the good work. Loving it! Walter P.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks! That wasn’t me! I wouldn’t buy a sealed record like that. But very cool! Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@kingelvis1956]

Hello, again Dillon! I just wanted to add that I really admire the fact that you “keep it clean”; no F-bombs like so many others who do these type of videos. That shows a lot of class and I just want to let you know that your manners are appreciated and acknowledged. I will stay tuned!

[@nickmannion3879]

Brilliant as always! I have 4....Irish Coffee, Fraction and Hunger are RI's...but I remember picking up the Mouse album out of a bargain crate at a Record Fair in the mid 80s...and still have it! For info, the guitarist/main man in Mouse is a guy called Ray Russell who was/is a jazz/rock player and if you can track down his 1971 lp Rites & Rituals on CBS...well it gets more play time here than Coryell /McLaughlin albums of that time frame. It's brilliant! He recently had a guitar valued (it was on a tv show) gifted to him by George Harrison (he worked for Harrisons Hand Made Films company composing soundtracks) and it had a trail that led back to being owned by Lennon and was valued at £300 - 400 k! Nice pension!!

No, I think those would be impossible to license unfortunately. Here in the states those records are everywhere! Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@JohnMacRae23]

The perks of being a record store owner... pretty killer collection man (i've got reissues of pretty much all). You always come across as a genuine dude and collector with a love for the music and not about the money. May be Popsike sold listings would be a better barometer on value? Or some sort of average of it and median Discogs solds. Someone needs to reissue that Vindication lp.

[@noblerecords]

Yeah it’s a little of both. Also, like I said in the video, I don’t think even one of these on the list came into the shop, I’ve just traded with other friends and collectors to get them. Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@JohnMacRae23]

@@noblerecords yeah but you probably got access to a few of those collectors/friends through you being a shop owner

[@sethallison5682]

I have a fairly big collection, like 1600 or so, but only a handful are in the $100+ value range. Got a white label promo Safe as Milk, some 2014 mono Beatles stuff, some og Meters and some other $200 records. Most expensive is a Butcher cover. Almost everything else is 10-50 bucks. I guess my taste is usually in the $20 range.

[@nothingimportant4504]

I’ve had the good fortune of a large handful of records I bought at retail prices skyrocket in the past decade, really unknown to me until recently, because I never really check the value. The one that surprised me was the Taylor Swift Folklore that came out during the pandy, which I guess became the rare version and it sells for a few hundred dollars. Not surprising is my still in the shrink, coke bottle clear, 1993 In Utero. I have zero records valued above median $600, I’m not greedy like you 😜 Great video!

My brother had a buddy back in the 70’s & 80’s that had a sick Zeppelin bootleg collection plus record collection in general. He had a copy of destroyer with HR. Giger artwork on colored vinyl that I haven’t seen anywhere. I ripped it to cassette when I was a kid & found the exact HR Giger pic in an old playboy. I cut it out & it fit almost perfectly in the cassette case. All of my tapes got stolen out of my 77 Corolla back in the ear 90’s. I was furious. I heard he got hooked on drugs and sold everything for practically nothing. My wife’s friend gave her a ton of records. I’m still going through them. Some odd balls for sure. I found a killer surf rock record called Surfers pajama party from The Centurions. Insane surf rock and seems very few exist. I think they’re the pioneers of surf rock. Good stuff

I hope people are telling the truth when they say they don’t care about what their records are worth and don’t see them as investment vehicles whatsoever because this is a freaking house of cards man. To think these values will hold up for another twenty years, with the ratio of turnover rate of new fans year over year being what it is. I just hope the beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder because as far as the more objective shared perceived value consensuses, these all hinge on like six people active in the market at any given time, compared to items that are “worth less” with hundreds of people on the market for day by day. Whats more (objectively) valuable: a 300$ item that 300,000 people want, or a 3,000$ item that 30 people want?

[@noblerecords]

Well, if you only have one copy, the $3000 record is worth more if you have a buyer. 🤷‍♂️

⁠@@noblerecords dang you, you are always kind, and pragmatic with your thinking even with replies to jerks.
