I don't care what my records are worth .....although sometimes I'm surprised, but seldomly impressed. I can't sell my friends.

Everyone thinks their records are worth a lot of money. Do your research before hand people. I generally agree with your pricing, but for those of us who do not have access to a variety of good record stores - 80% of my purchases are on line and prices are definitely higher than your prices. I'm in enough hot water with the wife regarding my vinyl collecting. If I lived near your store, you would have to adopt me cuz I'd be divorced 😂. Love your channel !!!

Great video 🙏 iv been collecting records for 35 year over here in the UK and it's fantastic to see the popularity still growing. Vinyl for ever 🇬🇧✌️👍

Love your channel! I worked in a record shop for about a year and the worst was telling an older women that her (late) husband’s records weren’t actually worth the eBay prices she had seen. Heartbreaking sometimes to let folks down like that, I wish it was more widely known that what you see on eBay isn’t always the worth!

USEFUL, INTERESTING, FUN. DILLON, YOU DESERVE ALL THOSE VIEWS THAT YOU GET!

I'd never pay more than 900 dollars for any Alpert album even "Rise"

Great video Dillon. Really enjoyed the breakdown and analysis on the different pressings and why they cost more.

The debut Velvet Underground album sold so few copies on its release you could still find first pressings in the record shops in the UK as late as the late 1970s.

One interesting thing I heard about Abbey Road is that it is one of the few LP's that has never gone out of print on vinyl.

Love your videos Dylan. Amazing explanations on each one of the records.

As always, great video and info - thanks, Dillon!

Great video more of these please!

Another great, informative video! I enjoy your videos greatly.

so glad your channel is starting to take off! keep up the good work mate :)

Great episode!!!🤘🤘

Honestly I have only been collecting for about 4 years but seeing the average price of these more common albums go up is crazy. Gone are the days of seeing boston albums for five dollars.

Great video Dylan. People need this info

great info especially the VU & NICO album....... had no idea about the probs with the back photo !

Thank you. I appreciate all of the info you share.

Hi Dylan, great video! Would you consider doing a new listening room tour? I am curious what your new space looks like. Cheers.

Liking the video. Ive picked up some recent finds from your old videos. I found Shotgun Ltd (promo), maria muldaur, demon and eleven children and an awesome copy of jodo guts. Thanks again, keep em coming !

Aloha Dylan Thank you for an awesome insight On vinyl collecting and the worth of those particular record albums. I my personal self have been listening to record albums since the mid sixties and on. And today when I go to flea markets or even some antique malls I've noticed some ridiculous prices on record albums and there not even 1st pressings sometimes there on Pickwick labels. I recall seeing Elvis record albums priced at 50 bucks and up yet being a pressing a 1980's pressing. Either the prices has gone up that much Or they think Elvis is worth that much, lol. And yes I know that some have Extraordinary value. but when an amateur prices things without doing research 😕 that is so sad. So again thank you for a great video. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Mahalo Ed.

Love the videos. I have a Fleetwood Mac Rumors album signed by Lindsay Buckingham. I met him at a radio station where I was working. Great guy.

Great video. I started buying records in the late 90s and I don't think I paid more than 10 bucks for the majority of the records you showed. Crazy!

Way back in the day they told us to remove the shrink right away because it may shrink more while in storage and warp the record. That was B.S.

love your videos , wish i could visit the shop. but too far. maybe someday. thanks for teaching us all so much.

Thank you for the info .. My boyfriend's uncle just passed at the age of 98 he collected for years, leaving behind thousands of records his wife is trying to sell.

Awesome! Would love an extended version of this video, where you show The UK, German, US, Australian & Japanese prices on the left side of the screen & hightlight the rarest versions, like the Matrix 11 remix of Revolver etc... 🙏😁👍 Again, AWESOME!

Brilliant video🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 the Japanese versions of dark side and division bell are my grails and a very expensive.keep up the good work🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Interesting. I have a few accidental albums that have appreciated, but I never buy them as an investment to sell. I buy them to play them, and/or display them. I think my most valuable according to Discogs is Offering by The Carpenters. Great video !

Very informative. I'll take it.

New subscriber here!! Love your channel

I was super surprised when you held up that cbs mastersound version of the Wall, and then disappointed when you just said “worth more”, I have a still minty copy I purchased at Musicland new back in the day, what are those things worth? Thanks for your cool videos!

Thanks. My wife has all the Beatles albums, but they were well used by her.

was super stoked a little while ago when i picked up an original mono uk pressing of revolver in a record shop for £4. vinyl and cover are a bit beat up but it still plays well and the cover is still intact so i consider it a win

Great video, thanks. No mention of Yesterday...and Today?

Dillon, Great video. Back in the day you couldn't give that VU record away. I finally bought one at the local record shop, and the owner gave me the other two he had. Sold two sealed for 100 bucks in the 80's at a record show and swap. The other one I traded for records I wanted around 2005. Found a turquoise Zep 1 at a yard sale, bought it for cheap, found out it was a boot. Oh well.... Hung the posters, stuck the stickers. Somehow I'm glad I did! Take care.

Love the info. will you do best of Picture disc

Well if my copy of "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" isn't worth $1M, I'm going to have to start rethinking my retirement plans....

You rule Dylan...your channel rocks hard. Cheers 🍻 Long live rock&roll

Hi, i like your educational videos. My Wish You Were Here (Yugoton) and Song Remains the Same (Atlantic) records are Yugoslavian pressings too.

Great video, most of those albums I had back in the day a album usually cost about $3.50 to $3.99 for a single disc and $5.50 to $5.99 for double albums. So I guess over time the $15 to $30 range is about for 2021 I remember buying Hendrix - Isles Of Wight which came out in 1971 as a import which was about $10. , Just like Gentle Giant - In A Glass House was about $12.00. Import pressings were hard to find in NYC.

What about 45 I have a 45 with four songs of The Beatles on a 45 two songs on each side but in England 1965 45 s we're not mentioned what's up with that anyone know?

I have a KISS Crazy Nights picture disc from 1987 featuring the now deceased Eric Carr that's never been opened, any idea on the value if any?

That meet the beatles, I have a brown font copy of that, have no idea what it's worth..

I have a US copy of wish you were here still in the black shrink and with the sticker. Was wondering if that makes it more valuable?

Hello from Peru very nice video 👍🍻

One for you as a big Zeppelin aficionado. In 1978 I was spending my usual Saturday afternoon over at Portobello Market and a guy had a box of copies of 4 for sale. I bought one as my copy had seen too many parties. It was about four bucks US at the time cos no one wanted a Lilac vinyl version of the album. Gave it to my partner at the time when we split in 81, they probably dumped it years ago.

North Carolina!! I thought you were in Tennessee! No wonder I couldn't find you! Bought a Herb Alpert grail last week. Got it for less than $1M. Can't wait to show it.

If you have an early or first pressing of an album, can you switch the record or cover of they are the same album? Just wondering bc I’m sure ppl. have 2 copies and would like to switch out for the better cover.

Probably worth mentioning that 'Original Master Recording' is a brand of Mobile Fidelity label.

Really confused about the first press bowie records. Are the dynaflex rca presses legit first presses. I heard conflicting things.

I just pulled Zep III out of my collection and there's a price tag on it for $4.50. it's in very good plus condition. I'm guessing I bought it in the late 90s or early 2000s.

Nice Job

It’s a shame Rush albums aren’t going for much, I’d be sitting on a gold mine

Have you ever come across a mini LP from '83 called "Star Fleet Project" from "Brian May & Friends"? It had Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Alan Gratzer, Phil Chen, Fred Mandel, and Roger Taylor. It only had 3 songs on it, but it was pretty much a jam session that was recorded without the initial thought of putting it out on record. I have an original copy and have never seen another one out there. Mine will never be for sale, but do they have a value since there probably weren't a huge amount sold?

I have an original Nirvana Nevermind that I bought for about 5 dollars 10 years ago. Thanks for the info.

I have a Led Zeppelin 1 but not sure if is the purple and tan copy, this album is unopened so is there another way to find out if I have the purple and tan copy without opening it? Hey had to ask!

I grew up with these records so have them all but most are US stereo. They are mine so would not sell them, but your video is interesting.

Great video, a lot of my vinyl I've had for over 30 years and only purchase special ones now, 2nd hand shops used to be great for this but unfortunately now there is always a sticker saying Ebay price...

If I type a matrix number into Discogs, does it turn up the pressing I've got?

The thrift store in my town in south Carolina has so many albums. I admire them everytime but dont know a whole lot about it enough to look at everyone of them. I love the art on the covers. I believe they sale for 2 bucks a piece. I have a few I look for bonjovi and led zeppelin. So many are there

do you not use discogs? i didn’t hear you mention it but that’s the best way find the prices of your pressings. obviously not on newer stuff because of resellers but for older stuff it’s great

By the way, that Doors S/T in Japanese is actually titled Light My Fire

do u ever see what much is price for library music records ?

I have a Beatles Mobile Fidelity boxset too. It's pristine, never been played, and still in the original shipping box. What you think it's worth? Thanks!

I have the Abby road album which is unopened and was made in Canada, how can I tell if it's a first pressing?

Where are the stores you’re talking about?!!!! Here in LA, prices are double of what you said for all records..and so are they on eBay/discogs... I need to travel to NC then.

Dylan , can you please tell me how much would a clean , original US pressing of Behold & See by Ultimamente Spinach sell for ?

Simon and Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, Meatloaf all of these were dollar/ euro records years ago. You also could easily get Deep Purple and Judast Priest, Acdc and such for 2,50, Iron Maiden and Anthrax 5,- and so on. If I only knew back then... 😅

Awesome vid I am lucky to own 3 European 1st presses of nevermind all super clean

This is useful as a dealer. I always check ebay sold, never look at ebay currently listed. Speaking of that, the worst one I ever saw was a listing for 3 standard David Bowie albums of no special pressing whatsoever, the seller wanted £800 for them! There is also a listing for a Beanie Baby that they're asking about 26 grand for because it has a letter wrong on the label or something. It's worth at the very most £100.

Bringing up Kind Of Blue. Isn't there a some sort of error version that is an early pressing?

That's kind of funny about that lady in the thriller album but at the same time it's kind of sad. We had a lady bring us 1999 Prince's album and someone had told her it was worth $200 and that's what she wanted us to buy it for. I took her over to the one we had that we were selling for $20 and she thought we were trying to rip her off somehow.. great video my man

My Led Zeplin 3 has a spinner on the side,I was only showing my son yesterday as we are moving house,I let him have a spin,it moves the disc inside

love your videos man

Seen Black Sabbath today paranoid album second-hand shop 50p

Damn I thought for sure pet sounds would be on this one

Can you tell us about picture discs

Thank you

I have an unpeeled VU+Nico close-cut banana from 1972. The cover is probably VG/VG+ because of some foxing. Vinyl looks EX although I have not played it. I heard they are worth money, but i have not found out how much we are talking. You did not mention the close cut banana, but can you shed any light on how much we are talking?

I am looking for a white mono copy of the white album

Dillon any decent reissues on that necco? not sure if that is how you spell it sorry the banana One lol

Great job Dylan! I’m new to your channel and must ask Why did you not mention Led Zeppelin III originally had a large spinning thick paper wheel that brought up all kinds of different faces and pics in holes cut out in the album cover that covered the wheel when you spin it around? I actually have not only my original player but one still in the plastic. I don’t even remember where I got it but it is mint. Loving your content & looking forward to discovering more great unknown 70s rock! I have a band to turn you onto that’ll blow your mind if you haven’t heard them. This thread looks 2 years old so I hope you see it and have a minute to respond! Thank you Andy

Its crazy what people will pay for LP's. I worked in a record store in the late 70s, spent most of my pay on albums, spent lots of money on imports from America then too. I've sold most of my records over the years, maybe a couple of hundred left. The days of washing my vinyl to remove iron filings from record player needles, that was the advice I was told to do back then. We have a large second hand record store here in my city about 20 minutes away. I'm glad to see collectors and wannabes can find lots of advice & feel envious of some huge collections out there.

I have noticed an uptick in pricing for 45rpm lp's pressed at either RTI or Pallas I have Fleetwood Mac Rumours @ 45rpm pressed at Pallas medium price is 75.00 and if in really good shape over 150.00 I have noticed anything pressed at Pallas is going for big money I know that the sound from these records is fantastic better than anything I ever heard. Jazz if your not buying reissues you will spend an arm and a leg to get in VG+ condition.

I think black sabbath paranoid on vinyl is out of print and pretty rare, the other day I was lucky to find one for $30 brand new

Its not bad for the records to be piled in that oblique way? I mean, the last one isnt taking the weight of the rest?

Great vid. I just picked up about 600 LP’s from an estate. Including most on your list. It’s a shame the owner marked each sleeve and label with his name in permanent ink. Knocks them all down to VG at best. Breaks my heart. But then again, he wasn’t a collector, he just loved the music. And that’s what it’s all about. Thanks for the info.

I get to watch before bedtime for a change, now I'll probably dream of records and beards!

I am from the UK and even on things $50 it can still be cheaper buy in US and that includes postage

What about top 20 least wanted records? I probably would want some of those.

Why are mono pressings worth more than stereo in many cases?

In the upper right hand it says pmcg 6 on the bottom backside minos matsas and son Athens grease

My copy of the VU & Nico is a peeled torso cover, but they have a big giant Velvet Underground sticker covering the torso.

You ever get into "library" production music lps ? Some real rare gems in that

Dillon, have you seen the version of Abbey Road where the band is walking the other way? I saw one once. I thought it was a flipped image but it's a different photo. I'm only concerned with the price for the ones I'm selling, my own copies are "priceless"

My father in law has the original nevermind vinyl. He read in the guardian news paper they were an up and coming band. 🤣

If there's enough suckers willing to pay 200,300,500 or more dollars for a record, more power to you, you got fools gold and you got a goldmine in your record store.

New subber here ;-)
