I have found a new place to pick records, and I can’t tell if i have hit a new low, or reached the heights of picking commitment. . I am not afraid to admit to having done my fair share of curbside garbage picking, and dumpster diving over the years, but this week I took it to a whole new level when I rescue these records from an actual city dump. I think these records were definitely not garbage (see what I did there), but you tell me what you think.
Check it out.

We also have
17 racks full of vintage vinyl records with 70% of them in the $5-$15 range. We also have mid century modern and teak furniture, lighting and decor. Vintage toys from the 1950’-1990’s. West German and art pottery and Scandinavian glass. Vintage Barware. Advertising signs. Sports Cards, Comics, cast iron man cave type stuff and everything nostalgic. The weird and elegant. The funky and downright ugly. The cool stuff your parents threw away when you moved out. It’s all here

@@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.

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!

@timecapsuledunnville5133 10 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

@@timecapsuledunnville5133 ….I do have a gold label mono PPM so the “itch” to see one is already scratched. Obviously the chance of finding them “ in the wild” here in the U.K. is easier but getting harder and harder as the years tick by. Just as a suggestion to you…..that Peter Sellers Parlophone LP should have an original “Emitex” inner sleeve , I would consider stripping it of the original inner sleeve and laying it by safely in the event that you chance upon any early Beatles Parlophone LP’s that may have lost its original inner sleeve ……then you already have its replacement. I often used to find unique inner sleeves inserted into the wrong records , E.g. ..the Sgt Pepper inner , Vertigo inners , orange CBS inners etc and put them by neatly stacked away until the time they are needed.
