High Risk Record Collecting. Unboxing Sealed Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers. Disastrous Outcome!

- Today I’m unboxing another sealed vinyl record in my collection. Collecting and buying Sealed vinyl records is a risky business. Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers is no exception.
Cool video. Sorry it didn't work out better for you. You're probably the first person who ever opened one! I bet there are plenty for sale now lol.
lol. Right 😂 We win some we lose some in this hobby, most wins though. ✌🏽
Hideous package in all aspects. Coloured vinyl, warped, thick box set which once the t-shirt is removed, is a waste of space on the shelf.
Another reason why sealed records are a bad idea.
I must admit I didn't like the quality of the art reproduction either.
@@russellthechemist8291 👍🏽👍🏽
Your definitely going to be gifting that Sticky Fingers Tee ! Haha 😆 Your OG is stellar
@@jtsrecordroom3963 😂 Thanks, JT! Glad you got a good chuckle 🤭 . ✌🏽
Nice video, and a big bummer on the warp ! 🫤
Aww, bummer on the red LP. I am not a fan of colored vinyl either. I like my records black. I think that probably goes for a lot of us that grew up with records being the way we got our music growing up. Plus, it sure is a lot easier for my blind eyes to see the specks of dust or dog hair on a black album as opposed to a color one.

@@Bootradr That’s right. Vinyl should be black. Black is the easiest color upon which to see flaws. Great point, Brian. ✌🏽
Ditto
I'm came for the repeated touching of the front of the cover, stayed to watch the t-shirt modeling 🤣. Real bummer about the warp. Keep making these videos - saving one record (collector) at a time #releasethosesealedrecords
lol probably would’ve went VIRAL had I included footage of my struggling to take the shirt off 😂🤣🤣. I felt like Houdini!
I wouldn’t attribute all the issues due to it being sealed. It’s likely just a bad pressing. Good pressings are hard to find these days. Sealed or not, it likely had the warp from production, and same with the surface noise.
✌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
@@papoosee After looking closer at the record it’s also dish warped. It was more likely pulled from the press before it was completely dried hence pulling up on the sides causing the warp. This further proves your theory correct. Thanks again for your contribution. ✌🏽
Steve
Hi again Steve, In relation to the off-gassing, I feel a lot of it may be caused by the outer shrink wrap. I am going through my collection, about 12.000 LPs, and have come across a handful of sealed double LP's that have minor misting on the outer sides of the LP's. The inner sleeves were not PVC, but the outer shrink was PVC and that is what caused the LPs to mist up. So, I think no matter what it should be an imperative to remove the outer shrink. I am now doing it to all my LP's that still have the shrink open and on the outer cover.
12000 nice dude! Congrats
Hi Peter. I agree with removing the outer shrink as it can definitely off-gass over time. One of our viewers, Greg, said he is now opening all his sealed records and labeling them “Unplayed” I think that’s a good idea for the collector who would rather know they have a mint copy rather than be unsure and quite possibly disappointed after many years have gone by. ✌🏽
@@TheVinylRecordMission It is a pain but we have to do what we need to do to keep LPs healthy.
i dont really keep records sealed cause im buying them cause i wanna listen to them. having said that i did have 2-3 i bought awhile ago still sealed that i just hadn’t gotten around to listening to yet so seeing the issues youre having i instantly was like i better open those now. and did. luckily no issues. phew….
@@STEVEHEROLD I’ve got a lot of unsealing to do seeing as how many records we’ve bought over the last 2 years. Outside of bulk buys when I buy sealed records for my personal collection I open them and play them as soon I receive them. Glad your records are in great condition, Steve. ✌🏽
Mick Taylor was on Let It Bleed before sticky fingers. Jones was on there also and the credits reflect both of them as it was recorded around the time of Jones death.
Let It Bleed is neck and neck as my all time favorite Rolling Stones album. I must be partial to Mick Taylor’s style. ✌🏽
Just a heads-up: watch your banana with that zipper! B’Otch 🤣. They didn't do a great job with the pressing. My OG sounds great, though. The girdle T-shirt is a nice touch. You made the best of a bad situation. Take care, Steve.
@@mad4vinyl802 If my head’s up it will surely get zipper zapped! 😂 I thought the Banana was apropos for the whole Andy Warhol theme lol, and fruit of the looms! 🤣. I’m glad I have a nice OG myself to listen to. Such an iconic album. I’m torn between this and Let It Bleed as my favorite. Good new is both can be my favorite. 😀 Have a beautiful Sunday, Mark.
Great video and wonderful content.
Great job
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good morning, all the best✌️
@@dimebagdave77 Good morning, have a wonderful day!
Blessings
Thanks brother Joey. Appreciate you as always. ✌🏽🫶🏽
Hey DBD. Did you DJ Joey K is the official voice of The Vinyl Record Mission intro and outro? He’s got swag-swag voice. He was cool enough to donate the two sound clips to us. He’s a cool dude. 😎
@@TheVinylRecordMission a class act 👌 I didn't realize that! Thanks for filling me in. I met DJJoey looking through records.over at the In Groove
No,don't get it,there is a difference between your stock,and your collection,if you keep sealed records in your collection,you are treating them like stamps or coins,if you don't want to hear the music,sell it and use the money to buy something you do want to hear,it's all about the music!
I hear you, Alan and I don’t disagree with you. I definitely buy records first and foremost for the music. I only have two ears and only so much free time to listen to the records in my collection. I do in fact sell and trade records I have no interest in. My collection gets listed to as often as possible. My stock sometimes gets s overwhelming because we often buy in bulk. I don’t compile sealed records intentionally. I just get so busy that I get behind. Now I’ve found reasons to make qualifying sealed records, opening them or selling them a priority. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. ✌🏽
With Vinyl sort of making a comeback since 2010. None of us from the 70's really ever gave up our records, I still have some that play well that I walked to the Mall and bought in 1976, before I started 10th grade. I JUST DON'T GET WHY THEY WANT TO CHARGE $30 to $90 for new vinyl and QUALITY is not priority. I can not Ever remember bringing home a new album in the 70's or 80's that was warped or sleeves damaged !!! Good Luck Good Content
Hi ZMM. You’re so right. The price of some reissue is ridiculously high we’d think the quality would match the price. I usually don’t buy into the exceedingly high priced reissues. I’ve gotten so used to changing OGs in fabulous condition. Very cool you still have your original records from the 70s. That’s the best. Thank you for watching and sharing your story and for the kind words as well. ✌🏽
Steve
Back then, we had paper inner sleeves, so we never worried about them damaging the vinyl - but a lot of vinyl in the 70's (post-1973 Oil embargo) were thinner and not great quality. RCA even made thin vinyl a selling point (Dynaflex). Crappy pressings were not uncommon then.
I do agree, for the prices charged now, there is no reason not to have the best possible pressing.
Most of you from the 70s gave up your records
@@Pluralofvinylisvinyls Many of the collections I’ve purchased over the years are from 60s and 70s guys.
I never understood why people would buy multiple copies of albums. I have only bought two to replace damaged versions and one to compare a newer pressing to one I bought in Brasil back in the 70's. The Brasilian copies I own are on a very thin vinyl. But they actually sound pretty good. The album art is lacking though. Anyway, once you tried on that shirt and showed us, I thought you are alright. So I subscribed.
lol. Thanks, Mike. I like to keep things on the lighter. I’m glad you can appreciate my sense of humor. I appreciate your feelings about vinyl record collecting. I have a few Brazilian pressings too and you’re right they do sound good. Thanks for subbing and commenting. ✌🏽
Hello there
I've been checking on my l.p.s stored in Mofi inner sleeves and to my shock and horror have found the majority of them have been damaged from them. Oily residue and imprints from the sleeves are present on a high percentage of my records. I've found similar damage from Q.R.P and Disckeeper sleeves which are similar to the Mofis.
I treat my records with great care and I'm sick to find out that an "archival" sleeve is destroying my collection. I have hundreds more to go through and am dreading what I'll find. Thanks for alerting me to this, maybe I can save a few.
So sorry to hear about your disappointing discovery. The industry clearly needs to do more research on how to preserve our precious vinyl indefinitely. Good luck with the rest of your collection. Thank you for watching and sharing your experience with us.
Steve
I just bought several LPs with Mofi sleeves. Is there a sleeve you could recommend?
@@NoMoreMrNice Hi! I'm not 100% sure the sleeves were defective yet, I'm waiting to hear back from a Mofi rep with feedback. What happened to me seems to be unusual so I'd say use those.
@@NoMoreMrNice I use HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) inner sleeves. I get the from Far West Record Supply. They are currently working on a website. But you can call the owner (he’s my cousin) and he’ll ship them to you. If you’re in Southern California you can find him at every PCC flea market record fair and at the Orange County record show. His name is Phil. Here is his phone number.
(626) 628-4138. Leave a message if he doesn’t answer. He will call you back. ✌🏽
@@jazzguy2758 Thank you for checking on that.
I think Buffy is going to have to shrink that shirt, that was pretty good size. Well preshrunk, guess it can be PJ shirt lol. Well that warp could be a slight issue, toss it in the oven and see what happens lol
Hahaha Yep thanks to my portly ass stretching it out Buffy can fit into it three times 😂. Do I hear an episode on Cooking With Steve G? “Oven Baked Brown Sugar?” 😂
From the little bit of the record playing that you showed the record is "pinched warped." You can see that as a quick "bump" that the stylus goes over (similar to a speed bump in a parking lot). A pinch warp is caused by improper handling during the manufacturing of the record. Warps caused by heat or improper storage are usually long "hill and valley" sections of the record where the stylus smoothly "goes up...then down." The fact that the record was sealed in the box for 15 years did not cause the warp; it was pinch warped from its creation. Thanks for posting the video; I just subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to "looking back" at your previous videos.
@@PMC7027 Hi there, David. Welcome to the channel. I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this mysterious subject. I guess we all wish the defects on our records were not caused by careless human error during production. Your assessment is very accurate and I’m happy to learn a new warp term, “pinch warp”. Over many years I’ve come across my fare share of pinched warped records. I’m adding your warp type terminology to body warp, edge warp and dish warp. Thank you for subscribing. Looking for to learning from you. ✌🏽
@@TheVinylRecordMission Thanks!
My faith in keeping things sealed, shattered, shattered! 😂 many thanks Steve, think I may open a couple today.sorry this Stones was warped.ill let you know if I run across any issues
😂😂 DBD strikes again with a 💪🏽 one! 😂
I hope your investigation turns out clean. Good luck brother ✌🏽
@@TheVinylRecordMission I never intended to keep em sealed forever 👍 I just wasn't ready yet
@@dimebagdave77 Same here. 👍🏽
LOL.....I can't believe you tried on the t-shirt!! That stinks about the vinyl record, I was hoping you would get a pristine listening experience
What’s happening, Mano! 😂🤣 I thought it would ad some entertainment value lol. Apparently only a few people out of 1,900 so far commented that it was funny. I thought it was hilarious. Thanks for joking in on my sense of humor. I was hoping for a minty listening experience. Oh well. We win some and lose some. ✌🏽
@@TheVinylRecordMission …. I kept telling myself, “I bet he’s going to try on the shirt” 😋. Have a great weekend! 🤙🏼🎶
The warp is more than likely from heat. I don't want to think that the plant packaged it like that.
I agree, Scott. Definitely a far greater possibility it happened post production. 👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽 Who knows the travels and storage these 15+ year old records have seen. Thanks for commenting.
What I think I am going to do with my sealed records that I was going to keep
as sealed is to open, look at then put them in a sleeve and label as never played
That’s a great idea, Greg! As an eBay seller myself I clearly remember using the term, “looks unplayed” and “no spindle marks” on records that clearly never met the slip-mat. At least you know that your records are safe. 👍🏽👍🏽
A boxset with only one record and enough space for 5 other records that could fit and all there is in there is a t shirt a big wank and waste space but I'm sure they sell enough dem at a inflated price
@@kentgoodall2516 Lol I’m sure glad I only paid $1.50 for it 😂
Their best album.
👍🏽👍🏽
Undies are BVD or Fruit of the Loom
Hahaha Thanks for that, doodahdave. ✌🏽
We can always count on some people to be wrong.
I once bought a pack of underpants (different brand) that had 2 hairs inside one of the underpants. If they would have been hairs like you find in food sometimes I would have just overlooked it. But I didn't like the look of the shape of them. One was too curly, and the other hair resembled a spear that looked bent up in the middle. I pitched them, and would never buy that brand again, unless it were on sale.
@@sidesup8286 😳 No not the curly ones!!! That’s enough trauma to justify going commando for life! 😂
Zipper always gets in the way of your musical experience with this record. Fact😉👍🏻
👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽
@@Grooverski Throughout my life a problematic zipper has got in the way many a times 🤣🤣
I noticed that the zipper on my original copy left an indentation on the album that was next to it. Now I have a piece of cardboard next to it to protect the following album cover.
Moonlight Mile is one of the most underrated Stones songs. Love this album.
Sadly, that disc always seems to be in danger over the years, although due normally to the zipper. I have a 1977 UK repressing that would be gorgeous if not for a damn zipper impression in the grooves. No skips, thank God, but you can hear a little wow and flutter on Can't You Hear Me Knocking? and Dead Flowers-two songs I adore, of course. Why couldn't it be You Gotta Move? I don't hate that song, but I picture the W&F wouldn't be noticeable on it.
I guess we need to look to the reel to reel.
That makes “reel” sense, JWD. 😂 Pun intended. Sorry about the W&F. This OG zipper cover definitely has the potential to be a menace not only to itself but to other records as well. I store mine between two cardboard stiffeners inside a Japanese resealable sleeve. I store the vinyl separately in generic white cardboard inner sleeve between two cardboard stiffeners. Seems like overkill I know. How cool to have a U.K. Pressing of this masterpiece. It’s definitely some of their greatest work. ✌🏽
Work@@TheVinylRecordMission best work
@@TheVinylRecordMission Great idea, I need to store mine like that.
