how did i end up here?

Sorry I missed the livestream, was doing some advance cooking for tomorrow with the wifey....🙂 Great to "meet" your kids, hope you have a great Thanksgiving and an awesome RSDBF and SBS!

Anyone know what year this is from?

Great show! 🙂

Wilco seem to be releasing stuff non-stop none of it interesting enough to warrant more than one listen - I'm joking I buy them and never listen to them, once they Chose "YHF" as their biggest album and released an outrageous number of formats of it I stopped caring - just give me one version of "Misunderstood" without the intro and mid-section noise and I'll be happy - maybe I should have gone with the Sun Volt guy.

that RICHARD CHEESE looks fun

Are there any taxes on things you may leave to family, friends, or anyone? Let's say you have a collection worth $100,000 and you leave it to another friend who is a collector. Does the government tax that person on the property left to them when they get it? I also wonder if a person, who has power of attorney, is able to make all decisions and not just financial or medical decisions regarding the person's collection if they were not able to do so themselves before passing away? I guess another way to ask the question would be can the person with power of attorney change a will or something like that before the person the wheel is for dies? I've seen other videos on this same topic but this one is the best. It really delves into the topic with qualified help telling you what needs to be done! Great video! Brian in Fort Worth 🎶

Looks great!

Sorry I missed you live this week, something going on...watch out for that Carlson guy, he's tricky, LOL!

A relative flogs them off.

True story xD

Steve, have you seen a video of Glass Beams playing live? Wild masks. So cool!

There’s a cool thing called NOKBOX (next of kin), that lets you organize EVERYTHING- it comes with all the labeled folders, in a nice big box, with a little book for passwords, and pouch for keys, passports, etc, and you can watch videos how to get started. Very nice for whoever has to go thru your stuff.👍🏻

This is probably the most important subject that’s not talked about in the VC. This was incredibly informative, helpful, and valuable, that said, it could have felt less like a seminar to buy the bottom guys services. And if he doesn’t think that at all and doesn’t see how the way he words a lot of his sentences are based on sales pitch techniques than he’s a greater salesman than any of us can imagine. Not even kidding I’m sold, but I’m somehow slightly resentful

Babbling for the sake of babbling 🤣

While I might change my mind, I'm one of those awful people who will leave the problem of my collection to my daughter. Luckily, I only have one child, so no fighting over the proceeds - she gets everything. She also has two masters and a PHD, so I'm guessing she's bright enough to know what to do with it. I also doubt she'll be sentimentally attached to any of it. Dr. Darby will probably find someone she can trust to sell it to en masse. I do have a large Canadiana collection that I will probably separate out, though. This includes many recordings of churches and high schools (from the 60s and 70s) and private press artists (mostly from Ontario). Those, I'll probably find a home for as they have historic significance and I probably own one of only a few copies in existence.

Jim and Steve: great to have two Michiganders talking records. I too used to go to Flat Black and Circular in East Lansing when went to MSU and grew up close to Ann Arbor absent to Wazoo and Schoolkid’s. Jim if I am ever in your area in I will stop into your store. Go Lions!

This is my written and signed legal document saying dibs I got here first my brother didn’t watch the podcast

Spinclean! the best vinyl assessory I ever bought. I have bought many albums that looked nearly unplayable and cleaned up to surprisingly good

hi Steve, Jim and Todd. great topic and video. It gave me some good thoughts. Thanks for that. Take care.

Why does it matter, I'll be dead. I may care about my records, but it doesn't mean anything when it's over. Whether any of my family or friends want my collection I don't know. I've told people just sell them for whatever and move on. Or keep them but in the end why does it matter.

I've willed to my sister and her husband

looked for this record for years to no avail, so thx

I might get my records made into a casket.

My collection goes to Radio Wasteland records.

It looks and sounds very good on RUclips 👍

My Mother used to do Ads for Goldmine. Goldmine was created by Krause Pulblications out of my small town, Iola WI, with a population of 1200 people. They did music, coin, car, and card collecting guides. The founder, Chet Krause, was a big car guy and established one of the biggest car shows in the Midwest. He was a really amazing man. My sister got in a car accident where another kid got trapped under her car while he jumped out of a ditch on a go-kart, the accident was found to be the kids fault. Chet called my parents while he was in New York on business to make everything was okay. I would often go to the HQ and they had all of the latest editions of their magazines. When I was younger I would get the baseball magazines, get all my cards from the bin I had them in, and price them. Later I would grab Goldmine just to read the articles. It was 1995, I was 13, I started listening to the local college rock station WWSP. I got more into the music that was not normally played on the radio. My Mom went to the writers of Goldmine and asked what would be something new and different that I might like given my new taste. My Mom gave me Post by Bjork, and Dummy by Portishead. If it weren't for some of the writers at Goldmine I probably wouldn't be the music nerd I am now. Love the pod keep it up gents.

Night of the Living Dead!!!!!

Discogs largely ruined the hobby, few treasures left to find

Hey Jim and Steve. Great show as usual. Cheers

Fun episode. I started out with an index card database like Steve, then I added a spreadsheet like Jim, and then I added the Discogs cataloging feature like both you guys. I did use the Osborne price guides, and still have a copy of the 2nd edition, but they served more as reference as to what was in existence rather than the value of things. I do remember scouring through Goldmine (and DISCoveries magazine), squinting at the listings for albums to send off for. Now Discogs is invaluable. Thanks, Chris

Yes, I use discogs for purchasing and catalog my collection. I am always finding things i did not catalog, like today when Steve mentioned Camper Van Beethoven i found that my 7" "take the skinheads bowling" was not cataloged! If we do not use the Discogs to sell things what would be the best way to sell?

Hey guys, great video. Every serious record collector will have albums in their collection that the consider total rubbish but will also never sell or throw then in the trash for any number of reasons.

Have you ever seen that movie FM? I had never seen it before or even heard of it until a month or two ago. It just happened to pop up on my TV on RUclips after whatever VC video I was watching ended. I enjoyed it just because of the throwback to the 1970s and the great music they had in it. Too bad it wasn't the real soundtrack you got though :-) Brian in Fort Worth 🎶

Great issue - thanks guys. I was a Christgau's Record Guide (to start) and Trouser Press Record Guide (latterly) kinda guy before getting into the era's magazines, first Rolling Stone, then Spin, then the UK weekly papers. Did the same sort of thing - marked the records I had in the books. I also have "the List" - hand-written on lined paper - going back to the mid 1970s - in order of purchase, with little annotations for 'events' or things like trips, end of year. So old now, the paper is falling apart. Kinda like me. Never bothered putting it in a data base....regret that now... I think I can now scan it, and have some AI decode my handwriting, so maybe .....Anyhow, I enjoyed your chat, as always. cheers

Great discussion, Gents! Discogs is very helpful for cataloging and for purchasing, but in all honesty, I rarely spend money on high end grails, so it doesn't affect me that much. But it's nice to have the price guids, and to have it on my phone as an app to make sure I don't double buy something. Regarding the FM album, I sent both of you FB messages with a link to the show we did on the soundalikes, you both might get a kick out of it! HAve a great week!

1:15 a Scientologist for a lead singer…. I’m out. Chester must be rolling around in his grave

Good stuff, gentlemen - sorry I took a few days to finally have time to finish watching!

Scott makes some fantastic comic pictures. Lov them. And I love the podcast thx keep em coming

A new version of a heavy metal pressing! 😂

Interesting details. Lots of special things to look for on vinyl pressings! The Fleetwood Mac original pressing of “Future Games” was a yellow cover. But for a number of years I had the green cover. I finally found a yellow cover out in the wild!

Excellent!

I have a first press of the Canadian Velvet Underground. They use the back cover as the front cover. No banana. I guess it would have been too entertaining and inventive for the Canadian psyche.

i also believe the moby grape fixed cover also had had a different color flag (Red to black)
