Wow! I found that exact same Glenn Gould LP at a Thrift Store a couple of months ago. As you probably know, Glenn Gould was a famous Canadian concert pianist. In fact, I graduated from Ryerson University in Toronto and part of the campus is on Gould Street, named after Glenn Gould. I first got switched onto Glenn Gould when I watched the 1970's movie SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE which featured many of Gould's well known Bach piano performances used as the movie's soundtrack.
I live in the USA and have lived in the UK. The British charity shops suck when it comes to record hunting. At least my experience revealed as much. Paris thrift shops were much better. But nothing in the world beats a typical big city USA thrift shop for finding records. Especially Northern cities. Soundtracks, funk, 70's rock, jazz, you never know what's going to turn up.
Lastly, I just wanted to mention that one can buy an excellent CD called GLENN GOULD AT THE MOVIES which includes all of the original music used in SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE as well as other movies that featured Gould's performances. It can be purchased through Amazon.com and probably iTunes as well.
The SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE soundtrack LP is really fantastic and I especially like Gould's rendition of Bach's Concerto No. 5 in F Minor. The second movement, called "II - Largo", is a beautiful relaxing, slow-paced composition. It would be perfect for a quiet, peaceful dining experience or just gazing out of a window on a snowy afternoon. I enjoyed hearing your Ventures surf music in the background of your video. The movie PULP FICTION inspired my obsession with classic 1960's surf tunes.
1-You up there @TorontoJon ( hope not Castro's son himself nor any of his friends and supporters either) by your own words apparently a lover of The SLAUGHTER -FIVE soundtrack for ''a snowy afternoon'' that's only happening if you, yourself could be WARM enough inside, (yet giving not a crap about others) having that '' peaceful dining'' certainly not taking place in any commie country, for there like some want for US here, only the elites are afforded such luxuries, as in enough food and the electricity on. 2-In places like commie Cuba and Venezuela their ''new normal'' has been for decades to endure Largo running brownouts, telling enough just like in the Kalifornia of ''F...k your freedoms'' of governors Terminator and the grave digger Newsom, where they can not be ''warm'' nor sufficiently fed, other that bull crap by their so called ''socialist leaders'' from hell. 3- And no worries, if by any chance this reply doesn't make any sense to you, just shrug it off for it for sure will to ''Olga's friends'' (a running inside joke) and company of anti constitutional for UNctionless overcompensating blowhards no longer serving God, family and country but their little Stasi like grey selves, of careerists at best. 4- Aelso ''Let Francisco know'' 2, who since he's pope should have known The Truth aelready. 5-...Shema!!!.
I opened my mind's eye as I was watching this video, and got a real "boy in his toy box" kind of vibe from this video. Sitting cross-legged on the floor lent itself strongly to this idea.
My best find so far, has been an almost immaculate copy of Merle Haggard's 1966 (the year I was born) record Swinging Doors/The Bottle Let Me Down on a mono promo copy. I paid 50 cents and it's worth about $30-40. It sounds fantastic.
and one last and the most important thing People need to know about Goodwill Bakersfield store owner David Hessberger is that he has not had to pay taxes for many years because of his practice of "unsold-and-destroyed" way of writing off the store's actual profit, and in 2001 he pocketed OVER $83.000.00 in "TAX-FREE" monies from such auctions!!...Meanwhile I bought a VG+ copy of LedZepplin 4 from a private collecter for about $35 the following year, and recently seen NEW copies on Ebay for $200!
In Bakersfield, CA, You will NOT find anything that good in a Goodwill store, in fact ALL the vinyl in our local Goodwill stores are basically what other stores would reject! REASON: Anything of value that enters the Goodwill system in Bakersfield fall in the hands of David Hessberger (owner of Goodwill South Centrial California), and he tries to auction them one time then if they do not sell, he breaks them up and discards them so he can write then off on his taxes as "unsold and destroyed"
I have reached the limit as to the size of what I will have. I re-donate if I don't want something after A couple of plays; or I find A similar record that is in better condition. Most of this grew over A span of 20+ years so It has all been heard .
@DiscosRomanticos . If your talking Kenosha or racine Goodwill or st Vincent store in those towns . I have never found anything good over there . I always find Mine in illinois . Never around town in kenosha . But I always find good records from John on 22 second st in kenosha . I know john well .
(part 2 of my comment) David Hessberger (who owns all the Goodwill stores in Bakersfield back in 2002 had in the Goodwill "clearence center" (as he called it) a copy of Led Zepplin 4 (stairway To Heaven) in like new condition which I ahd been looking for for a long time! I was so amazed BUT the asshole refused to sell it to me because he wanted to "try to auction it for over its value...Well it did NOT sell and he soon after broke it up into several peices and chucked it in the trash dumpster!!
hi ther' bikebeerrun, when you get some that you dont care for or would like to get rid of or possibly even trade let me know i love albums. also too. any 12inch dance music is not your style .let me know ,and i cold take some of those off your hands too takecare.happy holidays,and Great luck on your lucky finds in the THRIFTYSTORE. i bought an lp yesterday and i had to open it,but it had a little plastic 33 3rd,with three longs on it, i think they were the POPPINS OR something like that. cool cover too. i will go back and get the other one i saw but wont ope that one,for saving in case its valuable in a later year to ten
I hear you man, when I go digging through albums at Thrift Stores, they either look like someone was playing Frisbee with them on an asphalt street for a few hours before giving them to the Goodwill, or I find a ton of stuff by Englebert Humperdinck, Robert Goulet, or John Denver. Sheesh! I have NEVER seen a Jackson 5, The Who, or Jerry Lee Lewis LP....ever!
Harbinger1 I have searched through around 1.5 Million Record Albums since I started buying. I (Personally) seem to find a constant supply of Kenny Rogers! I like His Songs, & do own a few myself. I have come across enough of (the very same LP's at every 2nd Hand Shop I ever went into; enough to fill a Transport Truck Then you get into the "Funk & Wagnals" Classical Collection" Series. I have seen 4 different sets a dozen times on the Racks at one Time. Then Nana Moskouri & James Last. . .enough James Last to fill a fleet of Trucks. I do sometimes find The Who, or Jefferson Starship, or Rush, but yes the same always have serious scratches & Beer spills & Ashes smeared on them, as well as their Name wrote in GIANT Letters in black Magic Marker across the Cover Art. I often find that if you are looking for a "particular Album" (like "Mutiny Up My Sleeve" by Max Webster, its *always Smoked* & if I come across "A Million Vacations" instead it's *always ALWAYS MINT* it's like grubby People only like this & neat freaks like that as far as Records go. Funny the Jackson 5 came up. In these many Years, I once or twice ever saw a used (OLD) Jackson 5 (the "Victory Tour" excepted, as there are lots of that 1 floating around) for sale & both were a blur of scratches too. Unplayable! Yes, I also have said to myself "They used as a Frisbee". He he.
Harbinger1 I found a Jerry Lee Lewis, Brenda Lee, Patsy Kline and Ray Charles last week at the Salvation Army. All of them scratched all over up and down, dull with no luster left. Blah. Oh, but I found plenty of Funk and Wagnals, Firestone Christmas and Family Treasury of Most Loved Music in practically mint shape. Yeah, rock on. Not.
I have found a lot of stuff at the local Goodwill over the last few years. All I will pick up is near mint vinyl. They cost $1 each. I remember getting the second BOC double live LP. The UFO double Live LP. A mint copy of Eat a Peach by the Allman Bros with that legendary gatefold. I got a mint copy in Stereo of the first Sopwith Camel LP, the one I had in my collection many years was Mono. I got the second BS&T LP with all those hits and several Gordon Lightfoot LP's. I could go on on. I got a 3 LP compilation of a slew of the hits by the early 60's girl groups. You have to go in these places over & over and the good LP's seem to come in spurts when a person has donated some good LP's for whatever reason. I have looked up small names written on LP cover buys and seen recent obituaries several times. I use to do great a decade ago over & over again when I worked the 100 mile or so area antique/flea market circuit around here. I remember getting a mint copy of Chirco for $1.
+bikebeerrun1960 Wrong. Goodwill Industries benefits people with disabilities, so their training programs are largely funded by money raised via the stores. A typical thrift store is simply a business run for profit. Some thrift store owners actually accept donations from the general public, many of whom, like you, apparently, don't know the difference so you just give them items that they resell for pure profit. Never donate to a thrift store unless you know for a fact that it is a charitable business such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, DAV, St. Vincent DePaul, etc.
SEEing your RUclips profile name you are either running places on your bike for beer or running bees away (while Lobo baiting too?) which are not the same , and yet whichever it is makes all the difference in the world , specially if like Soltzhenitsyn wrote that ''they know that we know that they know'' and stubbornly they keep at it, say it isn't so bikebeerrun1960? ...Shema!!!
amazing that people actually make youtube videos parading and gloryhounding the garbage records they find at thrift stores that no one could give a flying fuck about. Truly unreal. I guess people have to have narcissistic recognition about something in their mundane lives....
The Ventures Surfing in the background, one of my most favorite albums!

This is where I want to be when I'm retired. Sitting down in my basement stoned to the bone surrounded by records. Cheers mate.

Nice music. I love the Ventures...
Diamonds was the early hits by Jet Harris of The Shadows fame. Listen to it and enjoy.

Lobo's other big hit was "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo."
I like this guy because you can tell he still gets as excited about finding vinyl as he probably when he first started collecting.
Folkbox is cool. I have to do this with my collection..
I opened my mind's eye as I was watching this video, and got a real "boy in his toy box" kind of vibe from this video.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor lent itself strongly to this idea.
I found an orignal 1967 sergent pepper's lonely hearts club band for two bucks
AWESOME FINDS most of our thrift store finds are never in that good of condition and they want to charge more money.
My best find so far, has been an almost immaculate copy of Merle Haggard's 1966 (the year I was born) record Swinging Doors/The Bottle Let Me Down on a mono promo copy. I paid 50 cents and it's worth about $30-40. It sounds fantastic.
Thanks for sharing that. I am always on the lookout for soundtrack albums of "edgey"movies and tv shows-they always seem to have great music in them.
Killer finds for low prices! Awesome groovy!
What's the First Song Playing... I love that delay. It's like a vintage version of Instant Karma's delay. Great!!!
and one last and the most important thing People need to know about Goodwill Bakersfield store owner David Hessberger is that he has not had to pay taxes for many years because of his practice of "unsold-and-destroyed" way of writing off the store's actual profit, and in 2001 he pocketed OVER $83.000.00 in "TAX-FREE" monies from such auctions!!...Meanwhile I bought a VG+ copy of LedZepplin 4 from a private collecter for about $35 the following year, and recently seen NEW copies on Ebay for $200!
That track is called "Diamonds" on that Ventures "Surfing" album.
Ah, Tommy, one of the great Rock Operas of all time, right up there with Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Great score on the David Gilmour record, Its an absolute gem.

I really like The Tommy record!

What is that instrumental song towards the end of the video (the one that sounds like the Ventures)? I like it! Cool video!
At my goodwill store the records and Cd's are scratched.
Nice finds man !
Notice the Ventures record playing at the end of this video.
Dave Major & Minors, fuck man, I've been looking for that for years...
:-)
That Jackson Five album is dope. BTW, what music do you have playing in the background?
@DiscosRomanticos . If your talking Kenosha or racine Goodwill or st Vincent store in those towns . I have never found anything good over there . I always find Mine in illinois . Never around town in kenosha . But I always find good records from John on 22 second st in kenosha . I know john well .

I got it. You're a Rick Moranis type. Aye?
Your Jerry. Lee Lewis, SUN looks like a late 60's or 70's, there were no targets on 50's an early 60's labels..
@DiscosRomanticos A goodwill and St Vincent DePaul store in my area. (S.E. Wisconsin).
Hackett and Gilmour. You scored :)
Sure beats watching California Dreams.

Hey, I didn't know Harrison Ford was in this picture!
Lobo is one guy, Kent Lavoie
How the heck did this video get over 32,000 views?!?!
By being himself, and sharing his vinyl finds :D
Why can't I ever find stuff like this at any of the shops I check? All they ever have is elevator music, elevator music, and just general junk
I hear you man, when I go digging through albums at Thrift Stores, they either look like someone was playing Frisbee with them on an asphalt street for a few hours before giving them to the Goodwill, or I find a ton of stuff by Englebert Humperdinck, Robert Goulet, or John Denver.

what's the difference between a goodwill store and a thrift store?
None really.

@NarcoticEvil Toyah Wilcox! XD
where´s the store ?
You need a better cartridge and stylus than that crappy Shure M25.
Is this an SNL sketch? :)
SEEing your RUclips profile name you are either running places on your bike for beer or running bees away (while Lobo baiting too?) which are not the same , and yet whichever it is makes all the difference in the world , specially if like Soltzhenitsyn wrote that ''they know that we know that they know'' and stubbornly they keep at it, say it isn't so bikebeerrun1960? ...Shema!!!
a quarter, man you must not live in cali , cause the goodwill,and thrift shops want 2 bucks eack record these days
