It was such a shock to find decent stuff just being tossed out like that. I have been back to the dump once every week ever since. I have found lots of amazing stuff, but no other records
In the 1990’s I used to find boxes of records at the. End of people’s driveways waiting for the garbage truck. I used to fill my car on a fairly regular basis. Doesn’t happen much anymore
@@timecapsuledunnville5133 People are buying vinyl again . I never thought that would happen when cds were introduced. I can remember being in a record store in the 1980s, and a staff member demonstrating how to operate a cd player to a group of customers. Funny thinking about that now.
Louisiana's LeRoux had a couple of hits in the early 80's. "Nobody Said It Was Easy (Looking For The Lights) & "Last Safe Place On Earth". "New Orleans Ladies" was big in Louisiana. The whole band is legendary in New Orleans by now.
Music is history. Music is culture. Preserving and saving it is a virtue. It's a real pity a lot of people view physical media as "worthless" or any old technology as "junk". I've never been lucky enough to find a whole heap of records but I actually discovered a Nakamichi cassette tape player casually thrown into a dumpster near my mother's house. In all likelihood somebody died and none of the "heirs" understood the value of an "old cassette player". Btw, I first assumed it was broken since it was in a dumpster but lo and behold it worked just fine when I played it back home. Sure, the BX125 model wasn't top-of-the-line even for a Nakamichi but I ended up with a *free* hi-fi cassette deck. Anyways, quite a find you have there.
People throwing good records away is horrible but it's great that you rescued these. Well done! 👍 The Queen and U2 45's look like UK pressings. The Show Must Go On is one of less common ones, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's rare, but I bet it is in the US. It was their last single while Freddie was alive. Good work!
Those were UK pressings. For the most part the major labels stopped pressing domestic vinyl in 1991 (with some exceptions), so if you wanted records in North America you had to buy them on import. Made them a bit more scarce on this side of the pond.
That Larry Weiss album is fantastic! He’s American, not Canadian btw. It features the original version of Rhinestone Cowboy which in my opinion is slightly better than Glen Campbell’s version
@@timecapsuledunnville5133LeRoux, they had a hit in the late 70's, but I can't remember the name. They were similar to Little River Band or Atlanta Rhythm Section.
There is a center like this out my way but it's about45 minutes out... fifteen minutes off of any main road so... a shame I couldn't just ask someone there hey call me if someone dumps media...
Thanks. Yea this one was pure luck. If I hadn’t caught a glance of a stack of records when I was driving by I would have missed them. Right place at the right time I guess
Saw a short doc the other week. Apparently, actor Phil Heartman designed those PACO album covers. They said he was a graphic designer prior to his acting career...
I fished a vinyl copy of The Wall - Pink Floyd out of a skip from the back of a warehouse where i worked 30 odd years ago..that's probably the only decent freebie i've ever found . You did really well finding all this for free. As the old adage goes. One mans' trash is another mans' gold.
Some of these are like gold to me. Back in the 1990’s when people were tossing out records I often got really good records at the side of the road. I also found a rega planar turntable at the side of the road back in the 90’s.
Yes I have found good records from time to time at he dump! People have no idea when they throw records away!, take to the Goodwill, the Habbitat, or somwewhere someone will want them! Most look like they have never been played! Some look like they were rode to the dump! Strangest place yes the dump! I Love the dump, one mans trash is this man treasure! Never met a Vinyl I could not learn to love!
Back in 1978 i bought a copy of the album " It's Just Begun" by the Jimmy Castor Bunch for 16p (pence), which is shrapnel in any currency! It was a brand new, still wrapped in cellophane American import, and on RCA flexible plastic which could be bent almost double! There were quite a few of copies of this (now very much sampled) album, and i wish i had bought a few more of them. I still have my copy, but I'm not sure of it's worth. I was probably the only person in Nottingham, (or maybe even the UK) that had heard of them, hence the surplus. This was also around the time that the Griffin & Spalding department store was closing for good, so that may have been a reason for the extremely low price. The average price for an album in 1978 would've been £3.99, so that is an incredible markdown.
@@timecapsuledunnville5133 Absolutely, I bought King Kong in 1975, and I bought this album because of Troglodyte, even though they weren't a big hit in Britain. But If I'd have had the foresight to know that Hip Hop and sampling was going to be invented, I would have bought the rest of those 16p investments and cleaned up. But that's the beauty of hindsight, it gives you 20/20 vision, even in 2023!
My guess is the person was going to toss them and then the dump staff suggested putting them in the re-use shed, where I found them. I have seen situations where families are overwhelmed by “stuff” when a relative passes on and they need to clear the house quickly for sale. I even know of a few thrift store that won’t take records anymore as dontstions
WHAT'S WORSE IS THAT I FOUND A FLEETWOOD MAC 45 IN THE DUMPSTER AT THE LOCAL RADIO STATION IT WAS SAY YOU LOVE ME. IT WAS A BIG HIT IN THE SUMMER OF 76. OF COURSE IT HAD PRODUCTION STICKERS ON IT IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE AND VERY CLEAN.
I worked for a major record label as a sales and promo rep in the early 2000’s. I used to go to our warehouse to get posters and play copy CD’s for the various stores I covered. They always had this one shelf that had hundreds of import (they stopped pressing domestic vinyl in North America in the 1990’s), vinyl records. I always asked if it was ok if I took a few as I collected records. The lovely lady who took care of all the promo stuff said “sure we have so many and not many reps use them”. So I would take a few each visit (didn’t want to seem greedy”. Then one day I came in and the shelf was empty. She said they needed room and had sent them all to the dumpster out back. I went to the dumpster and it was empty. The disposal company had picked it up and went to the dump the day before. I almost cried.
Surprised you didn’t show the label on the Peter Sellers/Sophia Loren U.K. mono LP to your American audience. That’s the very rare early gold Parlophone label that was used for the earliest pressings of the Beatles Please , Please Me album. Ok for granted it ISNT the Beatles PPM album and in itself isn’t that rare but it is a thing of beauty in itself just to gaze upon and wish it were PPM…… anytime I chance upon those pre-Beatles gold Parlophone LP’s I can’t help myself from unsleeving them and just looking at its beauty

Fantastic rescues. Just bought a collection that had two Fred Neil albums. You’re right, he’s a legend. Cheers.
He didn’t put out a bad record.
Santo and Johnny recored sleep walk..probably one of the greatest 1950s instrumental songs of all time😊
S&J’s version of Summertime is one of the best I have ever heard.
Great Rescue!

I found a bunch of mint Deep Purple albums still in the shrinkwrap at a Goodwill years ago, I still have them.
Nice score. I don’t find much at our goodwills anymore.

I am always on the lookout for a Nakamichi Dragon. Or at least one that I can afford. I keep hoping to find one at a garage sale

Its always good to save records before they are trashed....someone out there probably would love to have some of those
Especially when they are in Such good condition as these one.
Such a great find.

I will give it a listen. Thanks !

Thanks
Boy would I LOVE to get this lucky!!!
It was pure luck this time. If I hadn’t glanced in the re-use shed as I drove by I would never seen any of these
Louisiana Large, good band, good find
Yeah I got lucky for sure

Wowwww. Recently I've picked up two giveaways. Never miss an opportunity for free. There was some good stuff in both. This is an insane haul.
Yeah I have made this a regular stop now. No more records so far, but I got a bunch of CD’s recently.

The 90’s were a dead zone for vinyl. They kept pressing it in Europe, but in North America the major labels shut it down.

Le Rouix sings New Orleans Lady
Ah thanks
Guy was right,back dumps
Thanks for your feedback.
Not bad.... keep rescuing.
It’s now become a fairly regular stop for me now lol.
Poco is pronounced with two long o’s
Pooooooocoooooooo? That doesn’t sound right lol
@@timecapsuledunnville5133Poco, rhymes with Coco, or Loco..
Great these didnt end up in landfill and were rescued
Yeah i have been going back, but haven’t seen anymore.
I have a copy of that Peter Sellers album on Parlophone
It’s a scarce one
Seems like Fred Neil had a thing about kids.
Great albums
Who threw away a Fred Neil record???
Who would throw away 2 Fred. Neil Records? Honestly it makes me a little I’ll thinking of all the stuff that got tossed before I found this place
I pulled a US first press copy of Dark Side of the Moon out of a dumpster about 20 years ago. The cover was toast, but the record was probably G🤷🏻♂️
I fear no dumpster. Even now I still will eyeball a dumpster as I walk by.
@@timecapsuledunnville5133 absolutely
I’d still consider that garbage
Why discard them? The records could have been donated; same thing goes for books, magazines, etc
