Hey tuco, I almost cried when you left the 49th Parallel, Sagitarius and Merry-Go-Round 45's behind. As a lifetime 45 Collector, those are just amazing to see. BTW, Grand Award was Enoch Light's first label before Command. High quality stuff. Take care...

The advantage of having eclectic and varied tastes in music like you and I do, Tuco, is we inevitably find albums we like at antique shops or thrift stores because we enjoy a variety of different genres and styles of music that may not be of interest to a lot of people out there (Their loss. Haha!). Sometimes I'll see guys digging through records at thrift stores, but they clearly only collect heavy metal or are looking for records by a specific artist or group and therefore I manage to scoop up all sorts of cool records that are not on their radar. :)

I watched a video last night where a guy dug through 20,000 albums in two trailers. In the video he passed on an album that averages $600. One of his viewers told him he should have grabbed it. So he drove back and spent an hour or so looking for it and finally found it. Still sealed. Your video reminded me of that story.

Great haul Tuco, but remember this, what is for you is for you and nobody can take that away from you. I'm happy they were there.

7:30 'Take Ten' by Paul Desmond is a great jazz album with 'Take Ten' being the best track and it is like a sequel to 'Take Five' which was also composed by Paul Desmond since he was a member of The Dave Brubeck Quintet and he played saxophone, of course. :)

Born To Be Blue & Jane Mansfield. Great score, brother!

Just a couple of tips from a dealer who used to travel to the States during the 80's Take all the 45's out of the box & then put them back after looking at them...That saves any without sleeves not getting as badly scratched when flipping this also means when you put them back they can go back tidy (the proprietor will appreciate this)! And carry in your vehicle some spare 45 plain sleeves so any of those Psych & rare soul/funk 45's do not get damaged when travelling home.

I would suggest you wear a tinfoil hat next time you go to that little town. Should allow you to think more clearly by blocking out the gamma rays coming from that tower. Nice finds. Great video.

This was truly fantastic! Wow! The anticipation was KILLING me - waiting to see if those records were still there 4 months later. Amazing! And...we have similar taste...I LOVE bachelor pad, space-age lounge & exotica music. Like you said...so many people pass on those records - and they are fantastic! One of the things I truly enjoy about my collecting habits: I love things that others hate (lounge/exotica, big band & tread-jazz) so I can find phenomenal records often for cheap ($5 or less). Great video! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next ride-along. Skol! Jeff

Hi Tuco, awesome intro! I’m glad you could find those 45’s after four months and escaped the brain scrambler intact. The cover art for the Paul Desmond album was created by Andy Warhol.

Oh shoot forgot to comment on those really cardboard cereal box cut out records! Flash Gordon and Terry & the Pirates! Fantastic! I love stuff like that!

Sweet finds! Am drooling over that Rovin Flames 45

Hi Tuco!!! cool stack and killer haul too..... it seems it really pays keep going and going to this places and finally find true gems in the dirt, congrats!! looks like you will be returning to that antique shop and grab the ones you left behind. cheers and be well.

The Hub looks like a fun spot! Thumbs up! Trish

Loved the open. And of course all the rest. Lol.

In case you didn't know, Tuco, Scott Muni was a legendary progressive FM radio disc jockey in NYC -- WNEW-FM. Introduced things from England every afternoon exclusively. Played whole sides of albums when they were issued. He was friends with many famous musicians (The Beatles) & had been on the radio since 1953 even on AM rock radio. Deep voice. Was called the Professor because he knew so much about the music & its artists. I would say that record would have been junk -- but now that he's passed away it could be a big collector's item in the New York area for those who loved Scottso. As they also called him. He had a huge audience. The Merry Go Round -- look under the song title for the songwriter. A member of that band was Emmit Rhodes. Singer-songwriter multi-instrumentalist who later came out with 3 masterful albums on Dunhill after Paul McCartney came out with his first solo lp where he played every instrument. Rhodes' is melodic pop in a Beatles-McCartney mode -- very clever stuff. His career ended when the record company screwed him over. Made a comeback recently, in his 60s but after recording the album he passed away. Paul Desmond (sax) was a member of the Dave Brubeck Trio and he actually wrote the famous track -- "Take 5". Great videos & stories. Enjoyable trips.

Forgot the George Carrow Angel baby 45. Another great 👍 find

The rovin flames... damn

You see, Tuco, that haul was made especially for you! Hard work + opportunity all day long makes luck! Great video!

About my favorite dig of yours brother ! I've gone back before, just like you did. and the good stuff is still there.. not always mind you. so great that you picked up those pricy white label 7" promos on the 2nd go round. Coolness !!!! Cheers. JT

Yay! So glad you went back and grabbed those rock and funk/soul 45 promo gems you left lying the first time! At that price get 'em all! The Rovin' Flames were a Florida garage band, that 45 is a monster! I'd say you hit a home run this time!

Take Ten is a great album and, I normally don't care for 45s, but the Sagittarius WLP would be mine in a heartbeat! - I just bought a Sagittarius original LP about an hour ago and it wasn't cheap.

I’m only halfway through, what a jackpot!!!!!

I've been collecting vinyl for years and I heard what my father said that one man's trash is another man's treasure. I have sold many classical LPs above $20 which ones think they are just TUCs (The usual craps). For a man with a wide genre collection like you then I am afraid everything became treasures.

You scored some great stuff. Bummer to find that people wrote their names on the album or on the labels. It was a time that people brought their records to a get together and wanted to make sure that their records don't get mixed up with someone's scratched one. Also not to have their records stolen. It was common practice and I did this with my comic books. Take care.

Tuco! Man oh man!

You know, I find very little exotica in western Kentucky & Tennessee. I come across lots of bad white gospel with the huge hairdos! I was jumping up and down when your killer 45s were still there. ✋✋✋ Keld and the Donkeys must either be awesome or awesomely terrible. Glad you got more than ice cream for your drive back to BURWELL!

Quite a haul on those '45s, I'm glad you ended up with all those treasures, even after four months. I would have grabbed those Jackie Wilson 45s, especially the picture sleeve one. And, if they weren't overpriced, I would have grabbed all the Elvis picture sleeves.

Wish I had been there, nice finds Teri Bryant, Freddie Paris, Willie Hatcher (Edwin Starr’s cousin) and one I think you missed The Spyders I can take care of myself, cover Gene Chandler’s Original on Constellation. All popular here in the U.K. as Northern Soul . Cannot believe no one else picked those up before you returned back 4 months later.

I have a copy of the Pop Sampler on extended play 3 45s Aslo Wade Jackson is the brother of Stonewall Jackson he wrote the big hit for Stonewall called Don't Be Angry I actually shared the stage with him a few times and actually sang Don't Be Angry with him. Cool finds

Never really thought about looking for records in an antique store, though I did find some yesterday in a plumbing supply shop, so you never know. I'm happy to see that those 45s were still there 4 months later, some really great scores there and it seems nobody else knew what they were.

Rovin Flames is an incredible garage rock score.

I don't have that David Carroll album. don't think I've ever seen one. "National Anthem", you convinced me so I just went to discogs and ordered a really nice copy.

I have a stock of the Scott Muni, with pic sleeve. He was a legendary DJ in NYC.

Hi Tuco, are you familiar with the Swedish 1960s instrumental band The Spotnicks ? They used to perform space rock style wearing full space suits during concerts and on theyr album covers. Highly recommended .

Amazing haul!!! Great bunch of 45s!! That Ansel Collins Double Barrel is a score. That’s a skinhead reggae classic! Even if it’s not worth a ton, it’s killer!! Yes that Roving Flames is the gem of the lot!!! Textbook garage!! Perfection!! Great stuff Tuco!!

That's crazy, I never knew of this shop in Burwell. I went through there about 2 months ago when they had a junk jaunt around Sargent which is nearby. Man, I could've scooped those up for myself if I had known. Now that I know I got some competition out there...😉Haha. Those are some nice finds though, wonder how those promos ended up there. A local radio station near Burwell?? Almost anything on MTA is worth checking out, that Spyders caught my eye. I did spot a Sagittarius 45 in Sargent, but they are semi-common when found but always beat. I need the LP on Columbia. Had no idea Canada's 49th Parallel released some singles in the US. Great pickup there. Rovin' Flames was a jackpot, I'll have to check those pink Decca labels from now on. It honestly doesn't surprise me those promos were still there 4 months later. Nebraskans aren't this musically inclined! I may have mentioned before, but I had a WLP 45 score in Grand Island one time with Beaver Patrol's "ESP" which goes for quite some pocket change. Lucked out big time. I'm enjoying the "I'm An Idiot" saga so far! Beats any Netflix series by a long shot. 😂

almost caught up!!!

The 45’s that have the 2 horizontal lines going across the record are the ones worth more $$

Wow dude, Those are absolutely fantastic. I need to educate myself more on 45s . Undoubtedly I have left enough behind that I could be retired right now. BTW, My wife's cousin was Buck Owens personal secretary. And I think she was born in Nebraska If I remember right. She was a gorgeous woman.

Rovin Flames will be both of ours, we'll just keep it at my house

Tuco if you stacked all of the Herb Alpert albums from all of the thrift stores and antique malls you have come across, would the stack reach the moon?

Wow that just doesn’t happen very often when you get a second chance at some regrettably left behind goodie especially after a 4 month lapse Haha! That Spyders is cool And of course the biggies 49th Parallel Some cool Canadian garage psych! And Merry Go Round featuring a young Emitt Rhodes also garage psych! I was glad you grabbed the bubblegum stuff too like White Plains “My Baby Loves Lovin’” Some cool Brit Bubblegum One Hit wonder! And that Kenny O Dell “Beautiful People” also Bubblegum psych! I picked up that LP not too long ago! I probably would’ve grabbed all those Elvis with the picture sleeves Hell maybe that whole box of 45’s! What’s the deal with having a video of a dig for 4 months? LoL! I get antsy if I shoot a vid and then don’t get it posted in 2-3 days! This was a fun ride TUCO! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️

I went to Target and found green vinyl McCartney for $8.09 on sale was $26.99. I'm like what??? I'm on a record drought though.

Funding an addiction? Easy 😉👍 are you keeping any of the singles? Wasn't one called good things come to those who wait? Oh the irony. Ray Pillow - what a great name. I wasn't aware lounge space age accordion was a thing. So a little story. I stumbled across some 7"s a month ago then went back a day later when more time. White labels, tricky, dead wax not on discogs at all. Phoned couple of mates. Just took a chance in the end there was some collectable stuff there it always pays to take time of you can, I like your browsing style it's not too hasty just trying to learn and expand knowledge and tastes. 7"s are tricky little things and not on audiophiles wavelength. So great to find someone has only ever made one record in their entire life. Cheers.

Im looking for that Peter Gunn record. 🤦‍♂️😢

And the TIK & POP favorites still continue / Why didn:t you show condition-because those where at the store were crap $1.98 @ most stores & those 45s $ 1.00 tops

TUCO stole Steve's shirt!

You are racing back to Nebraska for a $50 record but what about the fuel cost? I think you loose something here. If I were you, I would call the shop owner, show the pict and if it was found, asked him/her to send by post.

ƤＲＯ𝓂Ｏ𝕤ᗰ

Almost got to 20 minutes without hearing that dreadful background music 🤬

You buy stuff nobody wants.
