- Join us as we go back to the 20k record trailer to rescue a $1000 grail record we were tipped off on. Special thanks to our viewer Marcus for the tip on spotting this grail in our last video! Hopefully we can find it today!!
There’s something profoundly poetic about finding a 50 year old, $1k record and then listening to it with RUclips on your phone right on top of it
I saw the Robert Palmer album Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley, and that record is worth something. Robert Palmer's backing band on that record was Little Feat. That's a damn good album.
I enjoyed this video even more than the previous! It's great to see how all of us can make a mistake and leave something behind!
So glad you found it! Thanks for taking us along the mission!
You're welcome thanks for watching!
That one funky album proves that the guy who collected those records really knew his stuff! I haven't watched Part 3 of this series but I wouldn't be surprised if you guys found quite a few more musical treasures. (So glad to read that you went back AGAIN and saved the rest of the collection! Phew!!)
And I was personally thrilled when you saved the Simple Minds album, love them. For Scotland!!!!!!!!! :)
Love this!!! You left so much behind! Fair play going back. Happy as a clam!!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent find!!! So glad you could grab it
With the greatest respect to you , you need to know in your head what your strengths and weaknesses are with the myriad of genres out there and often it costs to learn.
This was my revelation and costly lack of knowledge
I was opening my first bricks n’ mortar second hand record shop and was in desperate need of stock , a guy comes in and tells me his grandad had died and he was cleaning out his bungalow and would I like to look at his records before he skipped them all (dumpster to you)
I turned up and found a near empty house but with rows and rows of classical records sat on the carpet and leaning up against the wall, probably 1000+.
My heart sank as I thought to myself “but there’s no money in classical stuff , no one wants them”, and told the guy exactly that. To save myself a wasted trip I picked up a random armful of about 20 and paid him £20 just for some stock in case somebody wanted them for £3 apiece or so.
I then helped the guy finish off cleaning the house and helped him throw them all in the skip outside his house , done and dusted ,there was no money in classical ...right?
A few weeks later a customer walks into the shop and picks up the entire 20 that I had bought and asked for a deal on them , I threw it back to him and asked what he wanted to pay , I was expecting about £30 , but he offered £80 and I snatched his hand off for the £80....
All this was about 22 years ago , I was only just getting a computer , EBay was only 2 years old , Google didn’t exist and I didn’t know what I was doing with computers anyway.
To cut a long story short within a year or two I realised how wrong I was in there being “no money in classical” and every time I think back to all the “ASD , SXL , SAX” etc pressings I help him to throw away I bang my head on a sharp corner with my stupidity.
Moral of the story is that “you don’t know what you don’t know” but it’s your job to educate yourself into knowing, and stop chasing after 2-a-penny Multi million selling Ozzy Osbourne albums as your goal.
Wise words! Alot of truth in here. Thanks for watching ❤🤗
so glad u grabbed that Innervisions! one of my favorite albums
I'm glad you was able to go back and find it. I think the smart move would have been to buy it all and put it in storage unit and to go through it at your own pace. I'm sure you missed some gems, like the Sly & The Family Stone's you passed up.
Aerosmith
We actually went back and bought the whole trailer. Including the trailer lol
Congratulations on your fortunate find, Buddy! It was your lucky day, for sure!
Thanks for watching!
Stumbled across this video and found it intense. Thanks for the journey. Subscribed!
Great job! Wonderful find! Congrats!
Thank You!
This has been the most thrilling video I've seen on the vc, so pleased you found it, well done you! 👍 I would of been happy to have that T2 soundtrack and that Shaggy record
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! That T2 is actually a laserdisc set! It was kinda smushed from all the debris. When we go back tho we may rescue it lol
well hell that was exciting to watch thanks for bringing us along
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it and was happy to catch a natural reaction when I unearthed it lol. I had probably 40 minutes of video of diggin through other stacks I thought it was in ! Lol
Sick find! I really enjoyed the digging.
That was nerve wracking! lol. Wow then to find it SEALED...what a find. I would’ve grabbed that Sly and The Family Stone too if it was decent...not a big ticket one but an easy seller for a shop. Man, I can only imagine how many other gems are in there.
Rest of the record community to get their hands on. Good luck if that’s your trip. Hope you find happiness. 🚀🖖
Whoa this is so exciting. Fantastic.
You owe that dude big time congrats👏👏👏👏👏🤘
I go through similar experiences all the time because I take pictures of records I’m not sure of and will later on search for them online. Just recently realized I’d walked away from a $600 garage rock record and went back for it very nervously hoping it was still there. Always take pics! Even bette, take the time to look them up on discogs if you aren’t sure. That record totally had a look to it
Yes! SEALED! 🔥
You're awesome thanks so much!
Every private press lp is worth further investigation. The majority are terrible and worthless but there's plenty with great musical value/financial value. Happy to see you find it again and that you're keeping it. That would never leave my collection.
Thanks for watching!
Babe!!! You got this. Also, yay at the sly stone!!!
SO many goodies in that box at the end. LOVED.
Thanks Guru!! ❤❤
Ohmygoodness I would have been afraid to toss anything I wasn’t already familiar with! Congratulations! That was very suspenseful.
Thanks for watching Amy! Right!?! there is just so much and after digging the whole day you get worn down and don't give everything a second look as needed lol. Hopefully we go back and comb it some more and take our time.
That's some funky tunes right there! Love it 👌
Thanks for watching!
I've never heard of The Manila Machine but when you flipped past it I thought "what was that???" - my record diggin' spidey-senses were tingling when I saw that because it looked different. I'm glad you found it.
Did you ever take the turntable? It looked like a Dual on the top shelf.
Dude! That Kenny Rogers LP is worth -5 cents!
🤣🤣
Wow, amazing find! Really cool video! - Russ
Thanks for commenting and watching!
Nice hall congrats on finding the album... I was surprised that you left the Aerosmith and Genesis, I would imagine if the Sugar Hill is original and in good condition would be worth some $$... Thank you for sharing🤘🏻
Thanks for watching! Many were grabbed off camera. Sugar Hill was a single and thr Aerosmith had mold damage sadly.
Congrats on your endurance and perseverance. Love this video
Thank You!
greed
nice find.. im from manila i never heard of this band before but now I do tnx to you, its a 1973
Funk and Soul genre
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed your video. I own a record store in CT and I never heard of Manila Machine either. Thanks.
Right! Learn something everyday!
Damn! Def learned something today! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Yes I agree great vid!
Thanks for watching!
FOUND a box of sealed Manila Machine 2 decades ago, and gave then away as free gifts.
Ouch++ !!
SO GLAD YOU FOUND THAT RECORD. I WAS JUST TELLING MY WIFE YOU WILL PROBABLY SELL IT SEALED FOR $1500 ON DISCOGS OR EBAY. BUT THEN I HEARD YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA KEEP THAT BADBOY FOREVER. WELL THEN, IF SO, YOU ARE FREE TO OPEN IT UP AND SPIN THAT FUNKY GEM!
FROM SAN DIEGO WATCHING, YOU DID GOOD!
Great Dig & Find what a gem!!!
Thanks for watching!
There are a lot of great ones in that pile
i luv ur vids bru ! just subbed 😸👍🏽
I've learned this lesson the hard way. I was at a flea market a few years ago and I was going through a box of 45s. It was 100 degrees and I had already been digging for a couple of hours so I was beat. Took a couple of the records but passed on most of it. Turns out each of those records were rare garage/psych from the area that are worth 100 dollars each or thereabouts. Must of been at least 100 I left there. Huge mistake I'll never live down! I will always err on the side of caution when it comes to stuff I've never heard of now particularly if it's local. Supply and demand!
Happens to all of us! Thanks for sharing the story and watching and commenting.
I share your pain. During the 1st half of the 1980's, I looked through a box of 45's. I did not recognize the labels or the group names. I almost bought at least 4 - 6 NM 45's by a group that I was not familiar with "We The People". I liked garage & psych but did not grow up in Orlando and had never heard of WTP. (This is before Nuggets, etc.) It really didn't help that many of the 45's in the box were definitely children's records that appeared to be part of the same donation. ERH! I wonder how many 45's on Chancellor by other groups were also in that box. One of my 4 worst mistakes.
manila machine are filipino group from philippines, they are performing in las vegas during 70's, and their lead vocalist is rudy jenazky from angeles city, philippines, got also their album but i sold it to a friend.
Very cool! Love discovering new groups like this! Thanks for watching
Well done... I saw you leave a couple of Sly and the Family Stone LPs and Ike and Tina's 'Workin Together'... Also a couple of nice soundtracks. I've learnt to pay attention to the soul and funk stuff, even better known stuff. There's a couple of Hawaiian soul LPs that go for triple figures I found in a junk box... But it's gotta be hard, you go record blind after a couple of hours... 😁
This is true! Its so hard to know it all. We did however go back.and buy the entire trailer! Stay tuned!
This was such a fun video. I was cheering you on the whole time. 😃
Thanks Melinda!!
Hi Melinda!
Damn, that was suspenseful! Congrats!
Thank you for watching!
Dude, dead again lp is fire. Anything horror related is almost always a score. Nice vid and good luck on your sale for $3,000
Hi I'm a brand spanking new sub and have been down a rabbit hole with y'alls videos. This video right here though. This is what passion and a love for music, knowledge and community among collectors etc means. My heart was beating like a jack rabbit and I really was having to stop myself from forwarding to see if you got it. When you did I literally said "wooo" out loud like an idiot lol. Cangrats on the sweet find though!
Thanks so much for the kind words and watching!! We have more vids on the way soon, life has been a bit hectic!
That T2 was a laserdisc you out on the shelf before you found that record is cool
Cool find man, new friend here ✌👍
That is so amazing!!
Thanks for watching!
Yes and their 45's off this LP is also worth some coin nice find too
My uncle was almost in tears when I found a couple of Manila machine.
I would love to back to those trailers. Lol
as a filipino, that record would cost 2x here in the philippines. the reason is, there are literally no factories here that make records. records, cds, and tapes are worthless to companies nowadays. that's why even our local bands and artists who have lps/45s on their own, cost about a fortune. philippine records are very collectible and quite rare too. it's nice to see that album and i also love the passion of getting the record.
But the Philipines did press vinyls during the heydays right? I have several filipino pressing of western albums. They don't impress me as even 1990s vinyls were pressed on shellac not vinyl.
"There's a lesson to be learned here - maybe you should just buy 'em all guys" Very true! I understand that many are outside your area of interest, but you passed up a lot of great stuff that could be sold for good money.
We bought it all! Stay tuned for update!
their lead vocalist still lives here today here ing angeles city, its around 15 kms from our home.
That is wild! Had no idea.
Don't open that album yet! Big thumbs up to Marcus.
Also don't loose any sleep if you ever encounter the same situation. Talked to many big time collectors about the lost grails and all of them have several stories to tell. I'm ashamed to admit of a $2,000.00 album that I could've bought for a buck. I mentioned about it to a professional appraiser who researched it. This was about 15 yrs. ago so imagine it's worth today!!!!
You mentioned that all items would be trashed. I would make a deal and quickly rent a cube van. Man you can easily sell all those albums dirt cheap and make plently of money. Peace and keep diggin'.
Yep we all have those lost grail stories. Thanks for the tips! Yes we're gonna do whatever we can to keep the salvageable lps out of the ground! Good luck and safe diggin!
I've made a similar mistake before digging through a record store and had Selena Y Los Dinos "Alpha" in my hands. I put it back as they had it for $100. If only I knew how much it actually goes for.
Spooky...as if it's just under The Sugarhill Gang!! Hahaha 😁
I "subbed" and got that far on this vid, paused to leave this as I laughed to myself...anyway, I'll get back to it, great finds 😆
Haha thank you Frankie!!!
@@BacktotheMedia That was a great video! Lolled when I saw...ahem...The Sugarhill Gang. I knew you'd found it!
Enjoyed that, thanks.
Glad you found it. I would have taken the Stevie Wonder and Robert Palmer records too! : )
I did! Off camera. Thanks for watching!
Seeing all of those records lying around makes me sick :(
Yeah pretty sad
With as many records that is there. You can miss a lot of stuff. That is the kind of dig you need to do 4 or 5 times to make sure you got everything. You would have to sit there with a dumpster, and go through every record as to throw it in the trash just to make sure you didn't miss something.
Exactly right! We plan to go back and do some more combing :-)
Robert Palmer "Sneakin' sally through the alley" was on the top looking right at you dude. That's a £100 record right on the top of the pile lol. It's unlike other Robert Palmer albums because it has The Meters as his backing band and it's funky as heck!
Nice ! Watch our follow up videos. We bought the whole trailer
Good finds and tips for you:
That Lee Michaels, the Traffic Mr Fantasy (US release only), that 45rpm RCA model 45-EY record player is a classic and should be sold to someone who'll restore it - DO NOT power it up. Clean it up a bit and ebay it, that Roy Orbison LP, the Simple Minds. EDIT: You should leave the records in some decent orderly fashion so that you can go thru them again more easily if you ever go back, instead of just throwing them around - just sayin'.
Thanks for the tips! Thanks for watching !
@@BacktotheMedia I just edited the comment about that RCA 45 player - it's a classic RCA 45EY, clean it up gently, DO NOT power it up, and get it into the hands of a competent restorer, or ebay it. Thanks for the interesting vid!
HAHAH, I recently got distracted by that same Smith Record.......Killer Organ on it, but it rather cheezy. One song is decent.
I was in a house one time with over 100k records it's very easy to miss things
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
Did you grab the Terminator 2 laserdisc? The grey box with T2 on the cover. Could be worth a bit!
It was a bit smushed. Spines collapsed out unfortunately. Its neat tho!
Amazing how some unknown records have such value while others you think would be valuable, or not.
Exactly right! After digging through so many duds they all start to blend together and so easy to overlook such a gem!
Pretty simple actually. Popular records were usually mass produced. There exist a lot of records that later on became popular after they’ve been long oop. Some were just praised in psyche magazines or what have you, and demand for them increased .
Cool video man!! The thing about sealed records, especially vintage ones. They’re schrodingers frikken cat... if you dont open it.. is-it warped or not? Its both and neither, it doesn’t even exist.
Thanks for watching!
Warped records aren't that difficult to fix. Put a couple of glass cookie sheets in the oven, heat, and then put the record (in the sleeve) between them and let slowly cool down.
@@jeffbecker8716 oh yeah,, easy as pie right? 😂
I recently came into a stash old Vinyl records as well. Where do you find the value and where do you sell them?
Sell them on eBay. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
Ok dig what I’m about here. Collecting for me is about the content and the idea of playing what I find. I don’t trip on the price tag or the resale. Dig no offense to you or others who are into that cash thing but , that’s what drives up the prices and makes it harder for the
Thanks for watching. We run a record store so have to keep buying to keep selling. However cash value of this record didnt matter as we were keeping it anyways. I just knew I had to at least save it before it be gone!
This was such a trip 😁
Thanks for watching!
you need to by yourself a big head lamp , so use both hands ?
I noticed that you passed on a Box Tops album. I love them and Alex Chilton who was the singer. Have you ever found The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society?
I think we have had that Kinks lp a few times. Thanks for watching!
Yeah I would have absolutely grabbed The Box Tops.
There is probably more records worth more money than the Manila machine one in those trailers but it’s hard to know value of every record made. Glad you saved it from being destroyed.
We bought the whole trailer and since found all kinds of gems!
Nice repicks there.
I'm so happy for you!!! This was better than a scary movie!!! Lol! I was white knuckleing it! I kept expecting the owner to pop in and say hey you have to go now! Lol Plus it was still sealed!!!!!! Awesome
What are you planning on doing with the 45 player? Or the Michael Jackson Off The Wall? I would be interested in both. Please. 😊
Haha thanks so much for watching glad you enjoyed it! I was thinking the same thing. I kept hearing cars drive by and just imagining the owner telling me to get out, hes not enough of me lol!
We'll be happy to get those items in your hands. Message us on Facebook or Instagram thanks !!
@@BacktotheMedia That would be awesome! I'll message you guys on Instagram! Thank you!
Congratulations!! I'm stoked for you...phew! Any chance you'll sell me the Funkadelic 8 track from your first swing?!
Yes tried messaging you about it today but you dont have an email on your RUclips. Message us on Facebook or Instagram pleaseA
@@BacktotheMedia just dropped you an IG message✌🏽
Soooooooo many great records are in their!!!! Such a damn shame!!!!
I’d purchase the trailer, back my Freightliner up to that trailer and pull it home. One mans trash is another mans treasure.
We been thinking about it! Lol thanks for watching
grab that sneaking sally through the alley; robert palmer thats got some funky shit
Wow, I was wondering if it was a Filipino group. Manila is the capital of the Philippines. We are pretty good at our karaoke it must be solid ;)
Phenomenal record! Good stuff! Thanks for watching ✌
Whats the story on that trailer? Is it yours? Did you buy it or how did you come across it? Please let me know because I see some baseball stuff that I would definitely buy from you or whoever owns the trailer
You also should carry a crate with you that holds records and you can fill the crate with records so that you can just flip through them quickly
This was all last minute, we ended up buying the entire trailer so nothing was left behind 🤗
You need a head cam bruh. Two hands ta dig!
I agree! Working on it haha
theres a sealed on on Discogs for $3,000 what a find!
Where was this again!?
I hope it’s not warped.👍
looks like you gotta back and grab that ike and tina turner lol
Haha oh snap! Did I miss another good one lol
Skill-ma-son??? You need to do some research on Harry Nilsson. Listen to Nilsson Schmillson for starters. Love, kaz
Will do! Thanks for watching 🤗
Keep your eyes out for the Son Of Schmillson record it’s got a sick iron-on inside!
Did you grab the Terminator 2 sound track?
It was a laserdisc set actually. And was squished lol. Thanks for watching!
You probably should have grabbed Herb Alpert - Whipped Cream And Other Delights - if in good condition and an early pressing that's a cool collector record. Not a thousand dollar piece but a good one to have. And if sealed.....?
I grabbed probably 10 copies of that outta here lol. Super common you're right but we sell it everytime we put it out in the bins !
It's like the strangest and most difficult Where's Waldo search ever created
Mills Brothers!
Actually being sealed its prob closer to $3000 according to discogs...nice find.
Where’s that at, I mean city or state
Winchester VA back to the media
I would have taken a dive to there but is too far lol, greetings from Tulsa
Sly and the family stone, Ike and Tina turner albums were passed on
Wow are they artist from the philippines?
Yes ! Great group!
smith did a song off easy rider but son
meone else did it the soundtrack for contractual reasons, thats all i know about them , quite enjoyed this one.
Actually, it's the other way around. The Weight, by The Band is in the movie, but the cover by Smith is on the soundtrack.
@@TheAgeOfAnalog yeah ...that. you are correct anyway good one,take it easy mate!
