Great collection! Can I ask why you turn the inner sleeves round so that the opening is adjacent to the opening in the outer jacket? I know it’s easier to get the LP out but surely it’s not as safe and the vinyl could easily slide out and get damaged. I was always taught (by my dad) to have the opening at the top to prevent this!

Yes, please! I could watch these kind of videos whole day, every day!

I'm from Nebraska, and love your store. Looking forward to seeing this on the shelves! Amazing find.

I love these videos. Great jazz box to start with.

Thank you for answering my question love you guys

I only Watch for the jazz content, so this was pretty cool video for me! The Charles Sullivan Genesis record that you pulled out of the second jazz box is an excellent recording, as is his follow up album entitled re-entry!

Its very cool to see what people listened too and had such a wide variety i have a couple thousand albums and its also all over the map.

You make a great team, love your duo videos! 😍

Thought. I always see you all putting records out every day. It would be nice if the stuff from these collections get dropped on 1 day a week like on a Saturday, so we can come dig. I always feel like I am missing out on some of these as it's not feasible to come to the store every day. Great video as always.

So glad you stopped to make this video Mike. Fascinating to see all the different titles in a big haul like this one. Thanks again!

Doing that with the sleeve is a sure way to split the liner, more money than sence obviously

You really do own a Record Warehouse!

mike you're unstoppable, gobbling up record collections across the country

Love your video as always

Sorry, cannot watch someone aligning the open end of the inner sleeve with the open end of the outer sleeve, and handling the playing surface with the same gloves that were used to lift the box .....

30:30 that Neil Young bootleg is getting a reissue on June 3 thru Reprise records. The official title is "Dorothy Chandler Pavillion 1971". They're also doing the UCLA Royce Hall 1971 as well.

Good stuff! Love that jazz and blues 💯💯💯

I have about 100 vinyls that represents my early years discovering groups that I saw live ! Streaming high quality is my current happy zone. Got to admit this collection is just unreal!

Congrats!

I can't believe that you got an original UK Polydor copy of the first Fairport Convention album, I've been looking for a copy of that for 50 years now.

12:22 Fibonaccis were a band the alternative crowd and college radio played. 1982.

Very enjoyable video, Mike & Angel; watched it through til the end. I'd cancelled my Feb/March baseball spring training trip to Arizona/Florida when MLB went on strike. Maybe I'll turn up next year, help you price out your record collection purchases in the morning before heading out to watch my LA Dodgers. Thanks again for a very nice video.

Class act Mike…..respect is the minimum to give and get, live and let live; somehow we lost sight. NIIiiiiiiCE! Did George’scollection lead to this? John Fahey is somewhat a rare bird but I live in the rural world. That’s exactly what I say when I say when I use to see Dan Fogelberg….”oh boy” I see some deep cuts. Some undisclosed hot box in the valley! Beautiful to see a lifelong collection. I’m such an amateur. What a time to have caught this wave. Loved the SMR shout out! Is that what they call it?

Holy cow!! Mike, hard-core man! Hard core!!!!

10,000 albums!!!!! Wow!!

Couldn't imagine the amount of time and work it takes to go through those. Pricing grading sorting...holy cow!

Aww man, I need that Sonny Boy Williamson with the Yardbirds!!

mike w the willie colon knowledge. hope craft continues releasing his stuff w kevin cutting them. i was interested if you get a lot of salsa in collections in arizona and how long they last in the store. hard to come across clean early pressing of the early fania stuff

I’d love to get ahold of that pink island Fairport Leige and Lief!

FYI- I was hyped to see the Island Fairport !

We bought a huge lot of 13,000 for our store,so I feel your pain(lol).We also turn our sleeves the same way with easy accessibility for the customers.

Wow If you want some one to log them all .I will fly out to the states tomorrow .regards from over the pond

CAN YOU CONTINUE SHOOTING UNBOXING VIDEOS OF THIS COLLECTION? Like you did for the 7” collection

Hé Mike , I Saw that you come to Holland at the record fair in Den Bosch? I work there also those days. I watch all your video’s. If you are there , I come to your store in Den Bosch, greetings Stefan

Lovely to see fairport stuff

Wow love the jazz collection especially Donald Byrd.

please do more vids on your u-hual boxes !

21:38 Leo Smith Divine Love on ECM. You should pull it an listen, it is incredible!

superb,

I want that Danzig!!!

Love the video .. but why the slapping of the records on each other?

Man you’re such a Lucky guy!

Amazing

22:56 My wife says this exact thing to me at least twice weekly.

I hope stacking heavy record boxes six high does not damage the records. I honestly would not stack two high but that's probably just me. Nice haul regardless.

GREAT!!!!!!!! 😃

Huge warehouse!...congrats on new location, buy building?

Nice finds was there any Country besides Dolly in the collection

You're going to need to open up more stores.

How do you even start to price these ? What a collection !

I'd like to know if the majority of the albums are west coast pressings. Atlantic would've been pressed by Monarch Record Mfg. in L.A. And did these all have protective outer sleeves when you picked them up?

Wowza

This dude going to make millions with this collection.

The reason to get import copies of Velvet Underground & Nico (pressed before the CD era) is because every US copy cut from tape was mono on side 2 ( a mastering error that stuck). My own 1st copy was a Holland gatefold because I found out about this mistake early. It's possible that from an investment standpoint the US Verve - MGM pressings and a peelable banana is what you want, but the sonics are a step down.

A buy anything and everything collector by the looks of it, ideal for a record store, at the right price.

So that's where Clinic! got their album cover from 😄

Certain standouts for me were the Sun Ra, the minty fresh Coltrane Impulse titles and promos since you know those are first presses. That's the great thing about getting a record ind collection since you know most of the lp's are indeed first pressings. I noticed you passed by very quickly a copy of Jean Luc Ponty King Kong which is an album of early recordings with Frank Zappa. Yes, my eagles eyes spotted that, ha.

Amazing. You are the King of Vinyl!

I have all these too my collection is close to 150,000 records spanning from the 30 till the '90s I also have transcript records a a collectible know what theses are

if I could get my hands on a collection like that, I would start my own record store.

Yea, Let’s see the Jazz vinyl

13:00 - The Family were who Prince ✍ Nothing Compares 2 U for & their version is 😎 !

Based on what we saw, the seller switched to CDs pretty much when they first came out.

I used to jam that live link Wray all the time good album toclean the house to

Did you buy that haul without going through the individual records before you wrote the check?

Got any Weldon Irvine or Roy Ayers Ubiquity records in that gigantic haul?

21:48...Root down . Beastie boys sampled it.....Great vinyl collection.

26:55 every record Mike touches drops a Goldmine grade 😂

Any of these going to make it online?

Ultimate tribute to a piece of music is to listen to it. How much of their records will these collectors never even once listen to

You probably know that those polyethylene-lined inner sleeves that stick to the record (6:12) can damage the vinyl - it leaches in and can't be removed. You should pull those sleeves immediately. Those pink Island Fairport Convention records were $100 in 1995 - i can imagine what they're worth today.

Those TVZ on Poppy….woah. Hit me up I want to buy them!

This is called obsession

puts record innersleeve wrong way in the sleeve...

How much for a box of jass hold box

Mike that collection is your highest probability for a LZ2 stereo promo, you have seen in a while. If it is there it is likely NM-. Good luck - I hope you find one!

Who puts the inner sleeve containing the record with the opening facing out? Thats just going to collect dust and there is a good possibility of the record falling out and hitting the floor, weird.

Hey!!! We love Buck Owens! He and Merle Haggard the pride and joy of the great Central San Joaquín Valley and of course our Bakersfield, California!!

Good night..I' Jorge Villanueva from Spain..I want buy some Led Zeppelin Bootleg ( Persistence, MSG'75, etc), only Vinyl, NO cd...Someone can tell me about this ' desire??. Many thanks..

Nice collection. I have a copy of every record shown in the first five minutes.

I would be looking for truly original blues. Everything Chess did was fantastic. But I know there were many blues artists down south in the late 1800s early 1900s, including gospel blues. There are some recordings if you can find them. I'm thinking of later on people like Sister Rosetta.

Nice, Fotheringay, Sandy Denny's finest.

all blue , blue notes started in 73

Good to see those Sun Ra records. I’m wondering how much it cost to mail those promos from Saturn…

What Danzig albums?? How much??

LOL!!! @ 26:49

Can you say why, he sold his collection?

Hey guys! I'd love to have that copy of Electric Warrior by T-Rex🔥

Just lovely. I have collected Impulse and Sun Ra for years and even now the sight of an Impulse cover make my heart skip.

With all due respect I wouldn't want you going through my album collection, the way you handle the records is a bit rough.

“Christinith! You Idiot! You Come To Our House, You Get My Wife’s Name Right!” If you’ve never watched The Other Guys, this quote will be completely lost on you. But if you have, then you’ll know this guy is that actors (Brett Gelman) doppelgänger. I digress… Nice collection! 👍🏼

Have to imagine you spent no less than 100k and will undoubtedly make a nice profit

Holy cow. The sound of those late 60s RE gatefolds opening up after half a century of storage is something. Jackets look about as minty as can be. The records have some fingerprints, and of course lots of paper dust.

Dude...maybe time to open a 2nd location in Colorado so I can reap the bounty of your riches🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

you just blew past the live yardbirds lp ?????

You don’t like Townes Van Zandt?? I don’t know if we can be friends. lol

Do these ever make it to the website?

I wish he handled them with a bit more care …. I’m getting stressed

At what point to you stop buying and start clearing it?

Spectrum Billy cobam very best album in your box with c
