For those who may not know, our beautiful friend, Topper, passed away yesterday on February 4, 2023. He was not only a wonderful personality but he was also a super talented musician who played multiple instruments. He love of vinyl recordings came from a professional musicians aspect. Some of us not only followed and watched him in various bands that he performed with back in the 1980s and beyond, but we also had the honor to jam with him. He was a great guitar player, keyboard player and singer, AND also a father, husband and friend. We will miss Topper.

This is just proof that true karma exists. The truth be told that the love you give is equal too the love you make! Play on! Grooves to you my friend!!🖖🚀

Still miss Topper. RIP

Hey Topper, We're on the same music wavelength with those awesome psych gems. What an incredible lineup of stellar finds! Like you, I love great psych cover art and label designs. Somehow great artwork enhances my listening pleasure and music quality perception when it's more colorful and creative. The Fool and Incredible String Band are great and set the bar high for cover art design! Your the first to show that never shown, mostly unknown/ignored 'Cellophane Symphony'. Mort Garson and Bruce Haack are amazing. I showed all my Garson in my early Moog video. I've purged 1,600 duplicates or LP's I've lost interest in since '16 for more of the good stuff on my wishlist too! Thanks for sharing. ~Jeff

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful records with us. There are so many great unknown bands that i'm discovering through your videos!!! Best regards!

Being at the right place at the right time.✌️♥️

I worked in a record shop called Discus....best 5 yrs of my life and was only 22 yrs old....now im 62yrs old...never forgot those years....met great people and good taste in music....god bro i miss those days.

Hey Brother I'm just checking in to see if everything is good in your world...miss seeing your videos ✌️✌️😎😎

I have received two LPs from Amazon in the bag. Both damaged and sent back. What a waste! Good stuff oddbox, love your videos!

Just found your channel and this was such a joy to watch! So many gems, some familiar and some I'll have to explore (the Leigh Stephens sounds cool!) ..Robin Williamson from the incredible string band lives nearby us here in Cardiff, Wales. Always a pleasure to see him around the shops! All the best, Bert

Loving you're channel! Peace and Vinyl love back at you! Amazon has done the same bad shipping of my vinyl records, too. Keep up the GREAT work!

Hey Oddbox....stay in that mood good man....i fellow you good man.xx

Some nice albums there Topper well done and Best Wishes

50 years ago Sam Goody record stores in NY & NJ all seemed to have a mono copy of the Critters album in its cut out bargain bin for 99 cents. I never bought one. In the '80s I got a stereo compilation on a reissue label at Tower Records in NYC.

Yes ! The Canadian Group Paupers LPs are great finds. Theres a lot of great 60s 70s Canadian Material some still not Remastered. The band Shooter was a Great Band on GRT Records before that known as The Greasball Boogie Band. Same label GRT no CD release.

Happy 4th !Miss you hope you are well!

Love what you show. You are an awesome channel. I started a 2021 gratitude chain. I will add your channel to it

Hi Topper Love your video’s really great score on some vinyl!! I go to Cheap Thrills in Beckely WV a lot. I need to get over to Princeton soon!! ✌🏼☮️🎶

Hey Sir! It's been awhile since you posted. We all hope you're doing great. Keep on rockin!

THAT PURGING DOES GIVE YOU A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. LITERALLY FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE ASTHMA AND SEVERAL OF THE ALBUM COVERS HAD SOME DEGREE OF MILDEW. I PURGED APPROXIMATELY 4000 LPS THEN BEGAN AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME, ONLY ALLOWED RECORDS IN MY COLLECTION THAT HAD CLEAN COVERS OR NEW RE-RELEASES. I'M BACK TO ABOUT 100 ALBUMS AND MAYBE 50 45's. THE OTHER HALF LOOKS AND SOUNDS TO BE A GRAIL, IN MY OPINION. GLAD YOU'RE DOING WELL. GOOD VIDEO!

Good to see you. Yeah, that's a shoddy way to ship an album. A lot of cool albums to keep in mind for when we can get out again some time in June now. West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, A nice find. I don't think there is a part 2, their is another called West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band called "A Child's Guide to Good and Evil" on Ebay for 200.00 used. The one you're holding is worth 200.00 depending on condition. I'll have to let my kids know, there's a purge in progress here too. Some really great finds and thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Hey Bro. Missed you from FB so very much, and think of you, talk about you with my daughter often. Hope you are in good shape, and that all is OK with your family. All the best Jules Hawkdancer x

Hey Topper I’m so glad you got the Power of Zeus and what a psychedelic haul. Just an awesome showing of great sixties albums. Take care , Cheers Snowy

Excellent haul Topper. Man you scored big time. That Rare Bird is Free Bird when you said that you got it really cheap. Thumbs up to all that helped with this haul. It's always nice when a vendor asks what your preference is and has exactly what your needs are. Peace.

Dope noble records shirt man. Cool haul

I think it is great to purge your records once in a while, it really helps me figure out what genres I love and what I don't like. That power of Zeus record is amazing, ill never forget the first time I heard it. Gotta see if I can get my hands on that reprint too. I have a copy of Fever Tree "For Sale" and it was a fantastic album, great keys. You had a seriously good haul! Cheers my friend!

There was a band from Toledo called the Other Half. They had an album called "Smut"...funny as hell! The names you mentioned didn't sound familiar though...hope all is groovy...please give us more of your own stuff!!!! Polka Bob

For Amazon orders, if you ask for gift packaging they beef up the packaging

Watching you talk about these bands is like being in a classroom with so much to learn. One of my interests is collecting classical guitar records and last week I added 3 Andres Segovia titles. Mixed in the bins were a few Video Laserdiscs of classical music concerts (EMI catalog), a genre of "movies" I hadn't seen before, so I brought them home to give my Pioneer LD player a workout. I look forward to your next video!

Awesome stuff all around!

Love seeing the different albums gives me buying ideas thank you ✌️✌️

Topper that has to be one of the best record finds of the season.I saw some super amazing records i wish i could find. Thats awesome you found those thats some hard stuff to find.Congradulations.I really loved your video.Im looking forward to the next.

GREAT scores man...

You’ve been busy! Wonderful finds Topper!

Nice picks, grts. from Holland.

Killer Haul my Friend 😎🤘🤘

You remind a lot of some psych albums I forgot about. I was in my teens in the 80s and I used to find a lot of those LPs for $1-3 so I'd check them out. Unfortunately, I've lost most along the way so it's good to see them again.

A few months ago I got a copy of the wall and it wasn't sealed but had never been opened the gatefold had never been opened I was afraid it was going to stick when I opened it but it did not. And it was in mint condition I think the guy played it once to put it on tape is what he told me and I have no reason to doubt him. This was a great video brother

Topper, you found a lot of true gold! You’re not messing around! Those are some serious albums! I hope you didn’t sell too much of your instruments. I’m still waiting for your new album on vinyl! Your music is amazing! Also, I hope soon you can post some more jams that you do with your friends. Man, you can play one hell of a guitar! I also love your synth songs too!

I’ve been on the lookout for that Gypsy album for a while, I have their other 3!!

Very cool pickups Topper. I had Sopwith Camel, the Vet bills were murder

hi topper, some really super vinyl you picked up! great psych and classic stuff. many of these i have not seen or heard of before , but they all look like awesome finds. i have got to purge some of my collection but it seems i can never make the commitment, always procrastinating! hope all is well and thanks for sharing all those gems! take care

Hi Topper, super nice collection of vinyl , enjoy . I first heard of the song > from The Paupers last year in a compilation published on Facebook ,what a GREAT tune . The band was from Toronto - Canada and that is where I am too.

BOOM!!! You have blown my mind with all of the Psyche, Topper! Incredible albums. Lots of bands I never heard of before Some I'm familiar with, some I have, some I used to have. Unicorn is a cool album that somehow I either lost or sold or loaned out and was never returned. Anywho, Bolan didn't go electric until he met Mickey Finn and recorded A Beard of Stars. I still haven't been able to get my mitts on any Budgie albums but I'm always looking. They kind of remind me of Rush but with more of a Psyche edge and vocals an octave or two higher in vocals. All in all a great show Topper, as always. Peace my friend. A pleasure to see you again.

Wow! What a haul ! Get a couple of adult beverages and sit back and enjoy some 60's psych!

Nobody but me by the Human Beinz was adopted by northern soul fans here in britain,it's a great floor filling dance classic. I have a 7" re-issue of it 👍👍👍

Impressive haul Mr topper its good if you have the cash and a haul comes along.

That's BS that Amazon mail that record that way! I'm glad you were able to treat yourself to some good albums my friend you deserve! Stay safe my friend and may peace be with you and your family

Hi Topper! So many great scores there! That first Rare Bird is a long time favorite of mine--still have my original copy from 1970. Cool to see the first Who and those early Tyrannosaurus Rex albums (from before they got tired of spelling it out!). The Gentle Giant is a masterpiece. I've had the Who on my mind a lot lately as I got the new CD super deluxe box set of The Who Sell Out. I've been working on rebuilding my Incredible String Band collection; I still need to find 5000 Spirits. That Tommy James album has some amazing stuff on it--you could pass that title track off as a lost Krautrock project. Those Jade Warrior albums are fantastic. Shocking that Amazon is shipping LPs like that, but I've heard complaints from a lot of people getting those flimsy packages lately.

Some fabulous finds there Topper!!. Donovan 60s albums are very hard to find here in the UK. I love 5000 Spirits, but only have the CD at the moment. I was listening to Jade Warrior last week..Floating is a good one. I've seen that Randy Holden album shown before but never heard it.

Hey Topper! Power of Zeus is a monster. Dan pointed me in that direction also. What a haul with that psych box - Fever Tree, Rare Bird and Sopwith Camel?! Man! Nice to see you got a copy of Holden's Population II. The orange splatter disc is beautiful and they only pressed 300 copies. I found a copy last year on a VC meet up with Jaime Cottle. Great album. All-star video my friend. Plenty of great music in your near future. Enjoy! Cheers, Jeff

Psych is hot Topper. And the ones you got are great.

I love The Other Half. I've never seen those Jade Warrior records. They're great too. I am a huge fan of Tommy James. I will need to find that record. I love his psych music. Take care.

"Lilith's Song" on the Kantner album is one of Paul and Grace's best songs. It gives me chills...

Wow! Topper this is a jawdropping haul of killer psychedelia! Starting off with the Mighty Power of Zeus! I’ve yet to run across that one but I’m not giving up hope! The Other Half! I picked up both of the Paupers records recently (magic People, Ellis Island) and if I run across Ellis Island I’ll pick it up for ya! I need to find that American Revolution and that Human Beinz! That West Coast Pop Art is so good! Man I could go on and on about what you’ve shown here Great great pick ups Oddbox! Stay Cosmic my friend! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️

Would love to sit down with you and talk music with you.....having a cool beer and just chat and having a good time.....rick.

I have all of Gypsy's records. I found their first to be their best. The further they went along, the more religious the lyrics got.

Oddbox, I miss you brother. See you in the future.

I think the guy on the right from the Paupers is Vinyl Richie

long live psych - lol. Mandrake Memorial - cool electric harpsicord on some of their stuff.

Saw Fever Tree in a club in the Village when I was 15,16.Loved them! Silver Apples?

Bought a Joni Mitchel reissue of her Hissing album from Amazon that had the shipping label attached to the shrink wrap, no box or even a bag. - couldn't believe it. It looked like the driver dragged it behind the truck when it arrived. Sent it back, of course, but even if it shipped fine, I think I would have sent it back on general principle.

Hi Topper! Just reaching out to you to see how you are doing, I hope things are going well for you, I see you've been away for three months now. Prayers going out to you my friend!

R.I.P

I own two copies of the first Rare Bird album. One being the ABC Probe pressing, and the other the original UK pressing on the pink scroll Charisma (same label that gave us Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator) that features a totally different cover.

Amazon shipping is so inconsistent. The Other Half is a good one. That Leigh Stevens album is one on my radar. I love it. That is a big stack of records.

Quite the haul! I'm a mono guy for sure, sometimes the mono mix is superior to the stereo. Not the case for the 1st Paupers LP. I picked up a scarce og mono of that, and it is so disappointing. It sounds so flat and lifeless! I think it is a fold down mono. I don't think it will be in my collection very long. Oh you got the Randy Holden signed album. Have you played it yet? Discogs has a bunch of bad reviews on that pressing. Anyway, that was a great showing and i'm happy for you. Enjoy!

Do you know "As your mind flies by" by Rare Bird ? My favorite album by that band

What a haul! 👀 Looks like you'll be busy for a while.. Would you tell me what brand of inner sleeves you use?

My father was raised by his grandfather in Wheeling, West Virginia. My father was born in 1907. His grandfather was in the civil war. I have his discharge papers. You look thinner, Oddbox.

Incidentally, I recently got a VG+ copy of Jade Warrior's Floating World😀

When is next video comming?

8:35 Help Me Rhonda is misspelt on the cover...

Can you explain the difference between a 'mono' record and I guess stereo? Mono only heard through 1 speaker? What about the "quadrophonic" 8 track tapes of the 70's.

What does "OG" mean?

Oh, it's a great psychedelic haul man! Back to the basics. There are some of my favourites. Great deal at noble records. He knows what he sales. Take care.
