Gotta love records. Records, records, records.
Too right. Rog. Pacific sunset records
I recently had a guy give me a bunch of his dads old records. I took them all. Filled my truck three times hauling them home. What I learned was... TAKE EVERYTHING.
Going through them at home in my garage I found a mint copy of Natural High 1 (had no idea who they were but that record apparently sells for $300+) stamped as a DJ COPY, DO NOT SELL. A PROMO copy of Zeppelin 4 in a plain white jacket, White label PROMO of Tyton: Mind Over Metal with the original promo sticker and band photo, a still sealed copy of South Paw (a Louisiana based Southern rock band from the late 70's) worth about $125.
You never know what you're gonna find... just TAKE EM ALL and go through them at home where you can be more meticulous.
Great advice! So true !!
I agree. I try to always get them all if I can. Luckily i have a big barn/storage room to help store it all or I wouldn't be able to.
That box of 78's looked interesting. I imagine there were a few Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Jimmy Dorsey, etc etc, in there. Maybe a few 1950's vocal groups too. Looked good.
glad to see people mention Manila Machine heart skipped when it was tossed to the side.
yup
So glad you were saving good country music albums!
Violent Femmes!!! Lucky you!
Loved that video ...my dream flipping through a trailer truck of records
I love how he looks at “Plastic Ono Band” and says it’s Paul McCartney
Wait hold up?? Didn't Paul McCartney marry Yoko One right after he left the Monkees??
@@BacktotheMedia no, that was after he formed Ringo and the News
@@nickhueper2906 Bwaahahahaha 🤣 nailed it!
@@BacktotheMedia 🤣🤣🤣
I found this SO fascinating. It’s interesting the albums you decided not to take are albums I would have jumped on. At the same time, you took records I would have left behind. Thanks for sharing this video. You made me a subscriber. Looking forward to more!
Hey Mike!! Thanks so much for the kind comments and subscribing! We ended up going back a second time and there were TONS we grabbed that we simply didn't get on video! Thanks for watching!
Same here, I would have grabbed a ton more. I've been collecting for 40 years now and even in the vinyl-hating 90s, so my knowledge always expands. Stuff I wouldn't have given a second look 10 years ago, are now grails
Impressive find. Still fun just to look through it. Someone sure had a collection. It seems even now, they aren't as wanted as they used to be. I picked up a Joe Walsh once.
Damn. I would’ve loved to dig through that. The Tori Amos & Violent Femmes would’ve been worth the drive alone!
OMG!!!!!! Wish I could be out there with you. I dream of super digs like that.
DJ shadow would have a field day
Save the vinyl! Could not believe how much there were packed into those 2 trailers. A hard day's work for both of you guys. Pretty sure that you had a good payday. Can't wait to check out part 2.
Part 2 is open, part 3 uploading tonight !
Glad to see that it worked out and having a friend help out a bonus. I would 've asked the owner on the first visit if he would allow you to bring power tools to cut some of that shelving for stacking the boxes inside the van. He did provide you with a generator and no worries about heavy boxes stacked on top of each other wrecking the albums. Many years ago I had the glorious opportunity of going through two trailers, only to find moldy records due to freakin' leaking roof. Anyways congrats and hope you find some more grails.
Thanks for the kind words and watching!
OMG...!!!.. Absolutely you a very lucky man... just like found a treasure... Awesome...
I want that Burl Ives Christmas LP you left behind! ⛄️
That first print Tori Amos! Wow!
I can't believe you flipped right past that jimmy smith, ventures, and frankie yankovic.
Many records were grabbed off camera, including those. Thanks for watching!
Never been so excited for a video in my whole life!!!
Love love love that Cult LP!
Omg i love the vinyl vintage collection hope so
Luc those old 50/60’s records 👍
Thanks for sharing these videos! Very cool.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Always sad to see records left as trash that once took me years to find before Ebay and other sources.
Absolutely is! Thanks for watching
got to be a record player in there ....good stereo or two...congrats
Very Lucky Day Mark🤘🤘
Thanks Carlos!
Holy crap!!!!!!! I would of LOVED to help ya... Jacksons 💖💖💖
I thought of you when I pulled that Zebra Cindy! If you need it we got you ❤ -Mark
He passed by so many 80s records, I will take them all! Plus I live in Virginia also. I need to find where this place is.? I'm 45 mins from Winchester....Take me with you!
holy shit the manila machine!
No Hard Core Heavy Metal, or Spanish Tropical Music stuff, I would have been so envious, no matter, enjoy your records.
I respect a dude who likes flatt and scruggs
Im glad to hear you're tryin to make a deal for most of them i know you gotta buy stuff that is easy sellers but i have several thousands albums spanning many genres and many decades going back to early 50s i kinda stop into late 80s for albums otherwise i just have some songs on my phone i like a little bit of everything even the johnny mathis types which is great bc you find that stuff for cheap we all have different tastes and things were lookin for some of the greatest music you can find for pretty cheap if you look..
We ended up purchasing the whole trailer so we own all of the contents now
Great dig! Blackbyrds is a tough get!
That Chaka Khan record in the beginningggg, I NEEED. I wanna know the story behind these abandoned trucks, that’s crazy
I also noticed, I'd look for more records like that
"I guess Marky Mark was doin' that blue mood of Phil Collins wrong for the Rush of Mosquino Jeans..."
One man’s dream, another man’s nightmare. 👍👍👍
You lucky man I’d take em all 😎
i would love to take those records aswell
WoWSA ! I could spend days in there.
I noticed around 15:16 you guys were standing beside a box of RCA Videodiscs.
I woulda scooped those too. Unless they were thrashed like those AC⚡DC albums.
They're there! But yeah some are trashed and the films weren't really that interesting. We always grab the sci fi horror ones when we see them!
@@BacktotheMedia Yeah. The horror flicks can fetch good money.
I'm still trying to find Friday the 13th 2- 5 & Halloween 2 & 3. Keep the videos comin' ! 👍👍
Amazing to watch so many US record vids where people are so completely out of the loop in terms of rare records. In this around the 12 min mark he goes sailing past the Manilla Machine LP- I just can't watch anymore. Mind you all the best to you.
Then you clearly missed our video where we went back and got the record. Nobody is perfect and the great thing about being in this hobby is the opportunity to learn. No one out there can ever know everything. Thanks for taking the time to watch what you did.
@@BacktotheMedia Hey I'm sorry. I was just feeling fed up and frustrated with not getting out. Bad problems with vaccines. Thanks so much for taking the time to send a nice reply ( which I am not sure I deserved!!)
I think I saw a Weird Al Yankovik album
You should grab the Sugar Hill ...cool old rap...
Awesomeness!!!
I would have been there for days 😂.
5:44 what collector hasn't heard of Loui(s) Prima?
@4:47 Chaka Khan record right there! Damn I wish I bought this trailer!
Records records records
Nice stuff, I can’t believe I saw some country that you gave up in there. Some good country. Some good Rock. Sucks that the Acdc covers were ripped.
Wow!!
If you ever come across used blank videotapes that people record on, i buy those don't trash them!! Love watching mystery tapes. Home videos, old tv stuff..never know whats on them...especially old mtv!! Betamax tapes even better!!
Yeah mystery tapes are fun! Thanks for watching!
ohhh man laser disc in second trailer
If you need help sorting those LP’s, let me know , Mark 😉
Manila Machine get that one!!! $600 plus on discogs :)
Watch our follow up video to this one!
Flipped right through it unbelievable 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
The rate,one of a kind, forgotten gems that must be hidden in the shuffle. There has to be at least one that would fetch a hefty sum at auction or have a place in a historical archive.
We went back and bought the entire trailer!
@@BacktotheMedia now the challenge is sorting through!
Awesome channel. Need lots more of these!
This is so insane lots of records dumped and abandoned why these people so cruel lots of money for those records.i wish i could get them so amazing.
They belong to someone who passed away and were stored in here after. We now own the trailer and all of the contents inside. Thanks for watching
Sweet Jesus...did the owners buy a bunch of storage lockers?
You better or picked up The Manila Machine at 11:57. That's a very rare one.
Marcus! THANK YOU! We left it behind but going back today to try and find it! We truly appreciate the heads up on that one and want to send you some records for the tip! Message us and let us know what you collect. We should have the video up tonight on going back to locate that rare piece!!
Hell yeah. 1000 record
Just noticed that Manila Machine lp!
Check out our follow up video where we go back to find it!
God i see that and i was super scared you left there this jems 🤗
Surprised that whole lot wasn’t warped? Being in a trailer in Las Vegas for any length of time would be intensely hot, unless it was literally for 30 seconds in the middle of January
We bought the entire trailer and surprisingly very little warped. Some water damaged from a leak in a corner. Vinyl doesnt typically warp unless hit with direct sunlight. Average warmth usually don't affect it.
Lol that manilla machine sold for 1k recently
Watch the follow up 🤗
That is literally my dream
Passed on Jimmy Smith. Root Down
Jimmy Smith was grabbed off camera, thanks for watching!
You knocked back the Bohm lp..? Crazy. You don't really know what you're passing up! $$$$
We ended up buying the whole trailer and it's contents
"probably getting trashed" man I would have taken so much more.
Went back and bought the entire trailer! Coming soon
That is more that 20,000 records
Just bumped into your chanel bro. Good content. New subscriber. Happy record hunting. 🤙🏽👍🏽🎶🎵🎶
Thanks for watching and subbing Erick!
I wonder if there was any funk in there?
There is !
I love it 👏🏻
Can't believe the Ahmad Jamal trio wasn't picked up
It was grabbed off camera. Thanks for watching!
Had to give up on this, when the dude said "No...No" to a Partride Family album, right after getting excited about a very common Violent Femmes album. Kids...
Lemme see here. I have those same Patridge Family albums in my shop for $3 still sitting in the bins, while that violent femmes sold for $60 in a few days of putting it out. You'll be relieved to know we got the Patridge Family album when we went back and bought the entire trailer full. (In another video)
man you flicked right past Cosmic Wheels!!!
We went back and bought the entire trailer! Stay tuned :-)
Meanwhile, out here in Los Angeles ANYTHING vinyl is going for five bucks and up, even the wrecked Herb Alperts & Barbra Streisands. As for the contents of those trailers, forget it! There are people who would put it all under lock & key and hiss that they want "serious buyers only".
Wow thats crazy !!
Ever get obscure 60s us garage bands. Rog.pacific sunset records.
We have!
@@BacktotheMedia is it possible to list a few titles with prices plus snippets of each song. I know it's a big ask. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
damn... i wish i coulda been there lol
I would've taken it all!
Wow. It’s unfortunate so many stacked horizontally…that works best for warping.
For sure!
What became of the turntable we saw on a top shelf?
He skipped over that Oingo Boingo - Only a Lad. It's probably a $40 to $50 record nowadays.
Bought the entire trailer
What 3 albums did the store buy
Just hit a score with 50k+ myself.. Its very overwhelming
Very nice!
I know a poker table when I see one..Shuffle up and deal..
I know this video is three weeks old but you can kindly send me all your Linda Ronstadt records please🤗
We have alot! Lol thanks for watching
How much are your comics
That The Manila Machine you left behind cost around $1000 - $2000!
We went back for it! Check out the follow up to this video!
And..... Better yet. IT WAS SEALED !! Still got it 😎
That is so great. I’d be like a kid in a candy store. I’d try to make a deal on all the records. But hey , that’s just me. :).
It sure was alot! We carried out almost 20 boxes and it barely made a dent!
@@BacktotheMedia ah man. That would have been so awesome
@@BacktotheMedia Don't underestimate your work. If you did a good job at cherry-picking, the rest of the lot is now pretty much worthless! I certainly wouldn't waste my time going after you for leftovers! ;-)
I wish it’s all mine 😬
damn i wuld have love to do this
I hope you pulled that manila machine @ 11:58 very rare 🤦🏻♂️
We left it behind. But Check our other episodes as we made it a mission to go back to find it!
@@BacktotheMedia just watched it nice sealed copy! Score 🙌🏼👍🏼
I wonder if theres any thing besides 60’s 70’s like megadeth
There wasn't unfortunately
Curious, trailers being from Vegas, baking in the sun have you noticed on closer inspection heat warpage?
Love to see what’s left, I’m in North Central West Virginia.
Hit me up if you need help or are done with the lot....
Honestly havent noticed any bad warps. I left behind the trashed ones. Direct sunlight will warp a record but usually dry heat in the dark is fine as long as it isnt too hot. Being stacked like this tho can warp overtime. Thanks for watching!
@@BacktotheMedia
Thanks, being tightly packed in boxes probably helped!
Like I said, would love to come dig alongside if you go back, or if you are done contact info!
Send me the “Jesus Christ superstar”!!!
He passed on Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton?!
Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton are a dime a dozen where we live. Watch the Part 2!
Came for the Glenn Campbell stayed for the Billy Ocean
Like and Subscribe! It was a beautiful rendition 🤣
Where is this again!? Send Raven Records Knoxville out there maybe!? People who owned Disc Exchange Knoxville or Retro Morristown might be interested also!?
We bought the whole trailer and it's contents so we now own everything 🙂
Any chance for others to help so that these records do not end up in a landfill?
We're actually working on a deal to get the rest out. However it just snowed again so waiting for weather to get better . Thanks for watching !
hi there, do you can send the one that you dont want to Uruguay ? jajajaja
Pull out Wham but leave Chicago, ZZ Top, Foghat and the Allman Brothers!???
Got all those too! Just hard to flip one handed with a camera in the other 🤗 Thanks for watching!
@@BacktotheMedia Good lad👍Worth investing in a GoPro Headcam or somesuch?
@@richardboughton8338 Definitely in the plans!
Oingo Boingo, Tori Amos and Violent Femmes!
Was thinking of you Mike! We got alot of good stuff that I'm sure is gonna end up on your shelves ! 🤣
@@BacktotheMedia Yes!!!
You seem to have left behind Allman Brothers “Eat a Peach.”
There were many records that we grabbed that weren't filmed. Thanks for watching!
Yes, but a Wham album was in that box, Happy Days! 🙄
@@keithjones6023 You'd be surprised what that Wham album sells for in our Record auctions. We start them at $1 and have had numerous copies go over $50. Cheers 🤗
@@BacktotheMedia there's no accounting for taste! 😄
BRUH HE GAVE BACK SUGAR HILL GANG >0
