Nothing like true record collectors. I enjoyed completely.

Love this channel! 😍 Thanks so much for sharing all your records.

What an amazing collection, really enjoyed you sharing it with me!!

Thank you so much for making this video, all the best to you sir!

Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your wonderful collection.

Great video, beautiful collection!

Fascinating Spike. Thanks for sharing with us.

Sub'd, you have NOT bored me - fantastic channel Spike!

Whoa there Spike this looks fascinating, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic!i enjoyed a lot!

You got a lot of cool records . You got a lot of records that I have been looking for .

Very interesting post. Thank you for this entertainment.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, it was very interesting - i just really wish I could HEAR THE RECORDS!

Never enough records, Spike! Nothing like first edition discs like Bartok "Contrasts." Beautiful eclectic collection and keep up the good archival work!

Got and Patsy Cline 78s? I was lucky enough to find a mint Walkin' After Midnight 78 about a year ago!

Very interesting stuff as most collector videos tend to feature from the 1960's onwards. I love finding rock n' roll 78's and it was nice to see some on the original US labels. We only had a small handful of labels releasing everything the UK during the fifties while America had such an interesting variety. I was in a charity shop (thrift store) two years ago and spotted a pile of 12" 78's which I usually ignore as they are always classical. For some reason I looked and the second one down was a 78 by Laurel and Hardy. It was their Cuckoo Song theme, in almost mint condition, and as a lifelong fan I paid my £1 and grabbed it. While pleased, I didn't think I'd found anything TOO special but it turned out that this was the only record they ever released (anywhere in the world) during their lifetime. It was released in the UK only, to cash in on their first UK theatre tour of 1931. Turns out it's worth a nice chunk of change, mainly because the B-side is a live recording of dialogue from the show they performed on the tour which has never been issued elsewhere as far as I know. So a real holy grail for Laurel and Hardy buffs. Wouldn't be surprised if you had one though Spike!

Really cool picture discs! I don't normally collect a lot of swing 78's but whenever I see those, I make sure to pick them up. Also really enjoyed the pre-war country stuff. Hope to see more video's like this one. Looks like you have a TON of the things.

Spike from one record collector to the other, I tip my hat to you and your collection! Subscribed to your channel just today! (Mario from El Paso, Texas)

I don’t collect records, but I find this amazing!! 👏👏👏

I'm flattered that you recognize me from those days at RR! What a group of characters....Harold Flakser who spent all his time researching Icelantic Columbia (!!!), Carl and Perry devoting years to completing the Pathe/Perfect archive (I was pleased to contribute the Compo data to their research), Len and Bob going out every week to buy collections and bringing everything back to Grand Avenue in Brooklyn. To spend a day at that old house, filled with records and collectors coming and going hour after hour, was an unforgettable experience. I wish we had digital cameras then to document the activity! Pleasant memories!

thats a damn cool collection!

Nice video bud!!

You are an idol to me haha this collection is AMAZING! I have a 10 inch vinyl signed by Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton. It hangs on my wall in the sleeve on a frame. I don't think I'll ever sell it. Oh lastly I do another channel called The Olde Timey Revue. I talk about history old records old books etc

As a 33 year old (who just started collecting 78’s) this video was therapeutic to watch. It makes me want to go digging

Refreshing and interesting. I wish more videos didn't include "Dark Side Of The Moon". Keep 'em comin'.

I have a lot of music, but not this much. Very impressive!

I might be late but thats an awesome collection! im for 14 and im collecting 78s and more

7:22 when you start talking about RCA and the 33 1/3 records of the early 30's you need to mention that this was a spin off of the movie industry, the late 20's talkies using Vitaphone had RCA develop the 33 for "sound on disc" movies. The records were 16 inch. At first they were shellac but they developed vinyl for that purpose, at first it was called Victrolac.

You think gramophone records are difficult to store? try collecting phonograph cylinders.

Tons of forgotten gems!

Wow what a fun collection

lovely collection. i like the shelves .

thanks for showing your amazing record collection so many great treasures I hope heaven is like that I couldint get a nuff had to watch it twice

This is very cool!! I really hope my collection grows as large as yours! I started collecting when I was 16 and i'm going on my 20s now and my collection is pretty small and pathetic because nowhere in my area sells records haha :P Do you have any tips on where I could find any to add to my collection? Bravo on having an amazing collection!

Wish I could take pictures of all your record shelves and use them to wallpaper my house. Wouldn't be able to pull the records out but I could still browse on a rainy day.

I could spend months in that room without leaving.

Spike Hyssong, your collection is incredible! I only have a few hundred records myself. Do you have a system for tracking your inventory? Do you sort them on the shelves based on some criteria? I'm trying to figure out the best way to do these things. Any advice would be appreciated.

the Danny & The Juniors 78s are super cool! i got the first press on singular.

Hey there, people! I just removed a comment I felt was inappropriate... The comment was about either politics or sex (most likely the latter) and had nothing to do with record collecting! I Kindly ask that you confine your comments to record collecting and/or music... no trolls, please. Thank you!

FABULIOUS

Wonderful! Boy!

Revisiting this video today! Where did you ever find a filing cabinet for transcription records! I need one desperately!!! Absolutely beautiful collection!

Hola, tengo bastantes discos, compro y cambio, usted dispone para venta o cambio? Gracias

I still have some 78s once owned by my late uncle who was once a jazz dj. I have never played them, because I cannot. But I’d be interested if you could tell me how rare they are and if they are still worth much.

Now that's what you call a record library.

Wonderful! And I thought I had it bad. I wonder, is there a Shellac collectors community on KZfaq just like there is a Vinyl Community?

How you clean your records, Spike? they all look terrific! Great collection. Thanks for sharing.

The 78 rpm record 'albums' first appeared in the late 1930s. The industry called them albums and advertised them as albums. I began collecting in 1945 and to my generation, that's the only word we used to describe them.

Wow! That must weigh thousands of pounds!!!

I had to enclose one side of a double car garage and move the 78's out there to a concrete floor. The weight was making the floors in the house sag.

Hi Spike how re you doing? Nice collection! Do you have any Pathè center start records? I`m planning to sell mine. Most of them come in an original Pathè folder in excellent condition. Please let me know if you are interested in buying them.Greetings

once you hit the 5000 records mark... let's say life becomes different your house becomes like a record shop with oddly nothing for sale and visitors become ever so slightly more scarce also just like unca scrooge and his money bin you are more critical about the visitors intention are they here for me or are they here to get a piece of my rare stuff records are everywhere from the hall to under the kitchen sink you have become very addicted to the scent of acetate you open up the drawer of the demo disc cabinet just to take a whiff! the feel and look of mint copies keep you awake at night the lure of that shine the look of unpenetrated grooves can give you a ########! (let's not go into that one!) family members start to look at you as if you were something from another planet! neighbors start to complain about strange noises ''I hear hissing the guy got snakes in there I tell you!'' also they call the police because you haven't been out for weeks ''he must be dead!!" stuff gets mysteriously lost you open a record drawer to find a McDonald's hamburger from 1988! you acquire new pets spiders start to live above the record shelves just to eat the moths attracted to the record sleeves so,.. you leave them there... they are a good thing! also, things start ecosystems behind things you go to record fairs just to annoy the other collectors when you go ''I got that one! yea that one too and, this one and again hey I got this one too and this and this and this yep I got them all!!'' you also don't go to the shower anymore you just bought 30 crates with records and you needed to put them somewhere! you break a super rare record! then, .. you realize that you got 8 other copies! cleaning house becomes like climbing mount Everest! you come home after a sale with a brand new very rare addition to your collection and then,.. you find out you already have that one! wimmen don't like you anymore! a dog is a delight to have until he vomits all over duke Ellington's east st louis toodle oo as to cats...''tommy just can't stop spraying the victrola!'' alcoholism is great for a record collector you always have the right music to go nuts over it's a long one but I am sure this is all very familiar to you!

Royal blue columbia transcription disc!!???

Wow, very nice collection! Would you ever consider putting new inner sleeves on you vinyl?

Have you got a spare copy of Ted Wallace and his campus boys, "telling it to the daisies" (but it never gets back to you) 10" 78 rpm ?

Could you help me locate a copy of victor 45519?

Hey, you don't happen to have the shellac Fidele by Brigitte Helm, do you?

To most people the word Victrola meant any machine that played a record, just like the word 'fridge' meant any machine that kept your food cold, in spite of the fact that it was short for 'refrigerator' and copyright by General Motors.

hello, do you have arabic records iraqi, kuwaiti, bahraini, etc..?

Looks like you salvaged alot of records from the Avalanche !

Nice collection. Is that a Minnesota accent?

Do you listen to those book sets?

Heaven

Do you have any 70s 80s rock or pop LPs?

Killer collection; But out of all those you couldn't find one to play for us? -Good grief, Charlie Brown 😢

LOL!!!! You become a depository for wayward records. LMAO!!! You are so right. At the age I am now my friends parents and grandparents are dying off so I get the call a lot, "I'm bringing you all of Mother's records." Or the worst, "I found lots of boxes of old records in the attic I'm going to bring you." Yaaaaaay! Lots of bowls and ashtrays because they are all melted. I get calls all the time. They are very proud of themselves, "There's even an Elvis record in there!" I just say thank you and accept them. I pull what I want out and toss the rest or give them away. Most are worthless LP's. I used to have a screened in porch and got up one morning and the front of the house was dark! I knew it was morning! I tried to open the front door and couldn't. I got dressed and walked around the house and somebody had completely filled the entire porch with boxes of records. I have no idea where they came from! Sadly most of it was like polka albums but there were some goodies in there. So I totally agree with you on that one.

Actually they were all called 'albums' regardless of the type of music or repertoire. The word 'set' appeared from time to time but rarely. The advertising of the period is readily available online of course.

When you said you have 50 Vogue picture discs, I gave you (through my monitor) the finger. I apologize! I'd buy that "vomit" record any day!!

Thank you for this beautiful video. Am I right, that there is no woman living in your house?😉

Any Isham Jones Victors?

More records you can ever listen.

I love you Spike... but I will never help you move.

Fires/roof leaks/mold/mice/cat piss/rats/cardboard box's and old scotch tape/moving day/moving day again and again then death and a Dumpster on the curb and hired locals to clear out the place...did I miss any thing?

Is Spike dead or alive ?

14:16 don't say Pa-they it's pronounced like Patty

So messy, and often ugly with these boxes, etc. Why not create a pleasant space for them all?

Those 78 rpm sets are called 'albums' not 'books'! If you consider yourself a seasoned collector, you'd better learn the language.

Looking good here brother. I enjoyed this one.

This is very cool!! I really hope my collection grows as large as yours! I started collecting when I was 16 and i'm going on my 20s now and my collection is pretty small and pathetic because nowhere in my area sells records haha :P Do you have any tips on where I could find any to add to my collection? Bravo on having an amazing collection!
