Vinyl Finds #6….Oregon Diggin!

[@johncrabb4053]

Just found your channel. Now subscribed. I like the different types of music. I’ve been interested in Quicksilver for a while. I know antique dealer with several of them for cheap. I think I’ll check them out. I’m sitting on 954 albums. Rock jazz country blues and soul. When I reach 1000 records I’m starting a channel. The Vinyl Crabb. I love watching the digging. Thanks.

[@trentsrecords]

Thanks so much John! Quicksilver is a great band, but has gone through a few different iterations, their most popular usually being with the first few records! But look forward to seeing some videos soon!

[@jroc2427]

I live in Ocean Shores and recently relocated from Denver. I am friends with the owner of Crossroads. Great place!…hope to see you out and about and talk music sometime! Cheers. 🍻

[@trentsrecords]

That’s awesome! Tell him he’s doing a great job hahah, but would love to do some diggin and chat sometime! Best way to contact me is Instagram if you’re on it, if so, my username is @trents_records! If not let me know and we can find another way to communicate!

[@EmbryonicRobot]

That might be my fav Black Keys record.

[@trentsrecords]

Probably my favorite guitar playing of any of their albums. Very hypnotic

[@ericenloe5245]

Fun fact: The Workingmans Dead O Original the backside of the cover was printed upside down

[@ricefieldrecords]

I'd buy that Jimmy McGriff for the Chicago Style Hairy Who graphics alone. McDonald & Giles Side II is sublime.

[@trentsrecords]

Such awesome cover art!! It really is though…the whole album is to me. Such a wonderful album! Cheers!

[@ConnahJay]

Crossroads is a great record shop, I find it's definitely more expensive these days across the board. I actually live in Eugene.

[@trentsrecords]

Oh awesome! I was just down in Eugene recently! If you check out my latest video I show some of the stuff I grabbed while I was down there. I love it down that way. Agreed about Crossroads getting pricey though. Kinda stinks, but what can ya do? Cheers man!

[@EdKazO-Vision]

Good finds! And I totally agree with you about Trane.

[@trentsrecords]

I love when Trane plays standards and bluesy stuff. His tone is great for it, but I also love his more spiritual stuff as well. Never understand why some people dislike standards, think it’s a great measure of a band

[@psykodj67]

Hello Trent Im Paul..tripped on your channel and subbed courtesy of Telegram Sam...I always believe in supporting the local record haunts thats for sure.I am gonna have to check out that Parish Hall,always liked that Stones live one..love the Dead..I need to explore jazz a little more I think.Great stuff great video thanx for sharing and take care

[@trentsrecords]

Hey Paul, thank you for the sub and the comment! Parish Hall is some great straight forward blues rockin, and I love the stones and dead too. I can never get enough of workingman’s dead, but if you ever want any jazz recommendations feel free to reach out!

[@vinylizingprogger]

Hello Trent, that is quite an interesting haul. Videos like this makes wish I was still in the PNW. Don't want to undercut my very nice local dealer, but options are limited on the northern prairie. The McDonald and Giles album would have been an instant pickup for me. I find myself gravitating to probably not much for videos longer than 15-20 mins on the upside with few exceptions. (And I just subbed your channel, so have not caught more than this and perhaps on other one). Getting some listening in along with other adulting leaves limited time. Trying curtail the length of my own videos a bit, and still have work to do. Always enjoy variety and not just the very hottest out there. Cheers, Richard

[@trentsrecords]

Hey Richard, I appreciate the comment and the sub! I subbed back as well, and I do realize I am very fortunate to live in an area where record stores are easily accessible and I try to take advantage of that! The McDonald and Giles is a great album! I never even see the US pressing, so was very stoked to find an original UK! But I try to show everything in picking up rather than just the biggest and baddest albums out there, because I find all music to be exciting and I pick each album up for a certain reason so why not showcase that? I too am trying to curb the length of my videos, but sometimes I can’t find the time to make shorter videos also due to adulting. Cheers Richard!

[@gregshelt1187]

New sub, Great video!! In regards to one of your questions, I personally am not a big fan of digging videos, like to see the finds and usually skip the digging part.

[@trentsrecords]

Thank you, and good to know! Thank you for your input as well, think I’ll just keep stickin to what I’m doin!

[@musiclver6598]

Nice video! Check out The Mighty Diamonds! One of my favorite reggae bands right now.

[@trentsrecords]

Will do! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@thierrydefrance7220]

Hi Trent, talking about reggae, you should try Night Food by the Heptones. very cool record.

[@trentsrecords]

I’ll give it a shot! Thank you!

[@trevorsflatroundspun-vinyl9803]

Hey Trent! Was scrolling through KZbin and your thumbnail with the MC5 piqued my interest. Can’t go wrong with KOTJ (even if it is censored)! They’re are hometown heroes to me. Have met Wayne Kramer on a couple of occasions. Super cool guy. I was also happy to see another WA guy here in the VC, I’m near Tacoma. Great video and keep up the great work!

[@trentsrecords]

Wow, that’s so awesome! I grew up an hour south of Detroit so they kinda are for me too, ever since my dad showed me MC5! But that’s awesome! I’m happy to see someone else from WA here too. U need to get down to Turntable Treasures and Hi-voltage again soon. Thank you and Cheers!

[@trevorsflatroundspun-vinyl9803]

@@trentsrecords I’ve been to Hi Voltage many times. Still need to make it to Turntable Treasures. Lately I’ve been going to Atomic Genius in Puyallup. They just opened this past summer and is a fairly small shop. They’re also the closest shop to me. I’ve even curtail my online shopping and having them order it for me. Just want them to stay in business. So, were you from downriver? I grew up in Clarkston about 2 miles north of Pine Knob.

[@trentsrecords]

@@trevorsflatroundspun-vinyl9803 the guys at Turntable Treasures are really cool! Will align new cartridges you buy from em and usually have a good selection as well, new and used! I haven’t checked out Atomic Genius though, will have to make it there! I’m from Toledo originally! Moved out to the PNW a few years ago

[@EdKazO-Vision]

Love that Quicksilver LP. Everyone should own that one.

[@trentsrecords]

Agreed!! Mona is such a great killer track, pure condensed rock n roll

[@marktubeie07]

You were in my suggestions, great channel man, your description of each find is excellent! When you showed the 'McDonald and Giles' you had me, so SO good and agree it's better than King in a way. You got me brother, I'm subbed! All the best from Australia :)

[@trentsrecords]

Thank you very much for your kind comment! I truly enjoy McDonald & Giles more than I do In the Court, but I still love that album as well, just two very different things and that’s ok. Cheers!

[@sugadelicsavagesoul8623]

Good stuff man. I'm a huge reggae fan myself, so I can recommend a!lot. However reggae is kind of weird because 70s and newer is where it becomes more "album" focused, like the famous Marley albums for instance, which are mostly "roots" reggae. I'm a bigger fan of 60's reggae though which is mostly ska, rocksteady, and skinhead reggae (derived from the mods). But 60's reggae is mostly a singles market, not an album one. That's why you'll mostly see 60's material for album format in compilation format. But of course some of those artists do cross over into 70's territory. Some artists I'd recommend, and some of my favorites are Desmond Dekker, Bob & Marcia, Alton Ellis, Laurel Aitken, Derrick Morgan, Prince Buster, Phyliss Dillon and Ken Boothe for starters. For bands I'd say The Upsetters, Pioneers, Symparip, Harry J Allstars, The Matytals, Heptones and Paragons for starters. Particular albums would take too long to list here, but you get the idea. But don't get me wrong, I love 70's reggae and I can drop a whole 'nother list of that too besides the cliché artists everyone knows. I guess it all depends what style appeals to you more, (just like jazz) after you go down the rabbit hole. Cheers, man!

[@trentsrecords]

Hey man! I apologize for the late response here. Was on a backpacking trip and am just now getting back into the swing of things with the channel and such. I truly appreciate all the recommendations and knowledge here!! Some of those names sound familiar and some do not so it looks like I’ve got some further exploring to do in my future. Definitely do agree that it’s just like jazz in the finding your style area, and I still need to find what appeals to me best. Thank you again, cheers!

[@garysvinyldungeon2764]

Just found your channel and subscribed, some great pick-ups

[@trentsrecords]

Hey Gary, thank you! It was a fun time diggin. Hopefully I can go back soon

[@asupremelove5149]

Nice haul bud!

[@trentsrecords]

Thank you man! It was a fun weekend of diggin. Hope the weather turns around for you guys soon!

[@hubtunes9607]

Wow, Crossroads sounds very cool. Great finds!! Wow! Make the videos you want to make. Long or short. Press record and go with it. That’s what i do. No notes , no editing. 🎶☮️🎶

[@hubtunes9607]

Ballads is my favorite Coltrane record too. Its perfect.

[@hubtunes9607]

Me again!! Try outer sleeves from Vinyl Storage Solutions. Expensive, but SO worth it. Crystal clear. I used the 12inch 4mm

[@trentsrecords]

Hey Mike, I appreciate all of your input! I’ve been needing a steady supply of outer sleeves, usually get em at a certain local store, but they recently switched to a cheaper thinner outer sleeve so I’ll look up vinyl storage solutions! Thank you for the video feedback as well! I usually just press record and go as well, and I just tend to spew whatever knowledge I have of something haha. That’s how I do it in real life so I’ll probably just keep doing that in my videos! Lastly, crossroads is a very cool store. I’ve seen some pretty incredible records I haven’t seen anywhere else when digging there and also tons of classics for more than fair prices. Quite a few of the sellers specialize in certain genres as well. Big reggae and jazz sections, tons of rock (not surprising), but also quite a few sellers selling psych/hard rock as well. Pretty cool! Cheers Mike

[@marioschwarzbach1191]

Your videos are just fine !

[@trentsrecords]

Thank you very much! I appreciate that

[@ericenloe5245]

If the vinyl doesn't say promo or DJ copy I wouldn't call it a promo

[@comeonuirons]

Giles not Guiles,Michael Giles drummer with King Crimson

[@trentsrecords]

Yup, and Peter the occasional studio musician for em

[@davidg1087]

Hello Trent,do you have any interesting 60's /70's LP's by Canadian groups ?

[@trentsrecords]

The first one that comes to mind is the album Sex by Sex! I’ve got an unofficial release from the 80’s, because the originals are very expensive haha

[@davidg1087]

@@trentsrecords That's a great record.I have a nice copy of that one and a sealed copy of the follow up.I picked up both records (very low grade) for 25c each a few years ago and sold the first one for pretty good money. You should definitely check out the Ugly Ducklings and Plastic Cloud. Can't go wrong with them.

[@trentsrecords]

@@davidg1087 Wow, that’s awesome! I’m hoping to get an original press some day, but other records that take precedence right now haha. For now just happy I’m able to listen to the music. I’ll check them out though! I’m also familiar with the band Amish and their self titled records, and have a couple Canadian pressings of things. Being in Seattle you tend to find more of them

[@davidg1087]

@@trentsrecords You're in Kraken land.I sold a number of records on Discogs recently to an interesting young lady in Seattle.I'm in Montreal.Should have the record by Amish.Not sure what condition it's in.Quite something,that cover.

[@trentsrecords]

@@davidg1087 Wings fan my whole life actually! But i love that cover. Love far out there weird covers a lot haha
