Don't worry about new purchases. Educate and enlighten us with your vast collection!

I love seeing what you have in your collection Topper Being 58 years young I enjoy seeing what flavors of music you buy and just enjoying them to the fullest

I’d love to see more of your collection! Your stories about them make me so happy. I love how you tell stories. I rewatch/listen to some while I drive/deliver for work! Your voice is great for what you do!!!

Love you too Topper! Hope to keep seeing you with your interesting stories about music. You always make me discover new albums!

Hi Topper. I 've never seen that Johnny Cash album..nice find. Sadly around my area some of the antique malls closed down a few years ago due to selling out to developers. The vendors were given notice and some sold their merchandise at huge discounts. I missed out on two glorious opportunities. I got this news from the people who were going through the last remaining stuff. Knowledge, timing and lots of cash on hand is the key in scoring big time. Keep posting records from your collection. You are always educating us. Cheers and Peace to everyone.

Hey Topper, never commented before but felt I needed to say I truly would miss your videos if you stopped. Of all the people posting videos I enjoy watching yours the most. You have a true and genuine soul.

I actually enjoy watching the delight of folks like you who find something they have wanted. Doesn't matter how much it costs. If you love it it is priceless.

We love you the way you are, don`t worry about Pristine Grails, and such, We`re here to hear your take on what you listen to :) Peace and Love, brother. 🇸🇪

If I had a channel, Mr Topper, it would be similar to yours. We have similar tastes in music, and I always enjoy your channel. You, just being you, is entertaining and a pleasant experience. Thank you.

Big Star was amazing! I’m happy that you got those beautiful albums, AAA copies! I’m sorry that everything drying up in your area. Remember you got an amazing library of music! Sometimes it’s good to slow down the reigns and go through what you have at home.

I love what you show. Pull records you have and tell us why you like them. Or what interests you about the music. Don’t stop my friend. ✌🏻

Love your videos!...just like everyone else...you have been an inspiration for me during this crappy year. Lost my job, my Bernese Mountain Dog “Clyde” just died and I had to sell my house. I’m trying hard to see the light...I greatly appreciate your videos and wish someday I could actually meet you!

Hey Topper! You are always entertaining even if you feel you're not. It doesn't matter if you don't have the og press or expensive purchase it's you that I come here for. You have a wonderful personality and tell great stories and life experiences. Even if you're not finding stuff to show I'd love to hear about the stuff you already have. You're always good to say when you found something however many years ago. You don't owe anybody anything so if you're not feeling up to it then listen to your gut. I for one would love for you to continue! I have that Johnny Cash album and I really enjoy that one. I've been getting a purge stack together and one or two of his albums will be in that stack but Story Songs of Trains and Rivers will stay in the collection! I made the mistake of purchasing a 4 Men With Beards pressing of Aretha Now in 2016 when I got back in to purchasing vinyl. I didn't know or didn't pay attention to pressings. The first time I played it I knew right away that it just didn't sound good. I was able to unload that album and that really turned me off from that label so I stay away from it. Good advice! Stay well! And keep on enjoying the music!

Topper, I have an idea for you. How about doing some in depth reviews of albums. Concentrate on only an album or two per episode of an artist, or compare a couple of albums of two artists of a particular type of music. Take a deeper dive drawing on your collection. The beauty of this is you listen critically to what you already have (and you don’t have to spend any money to create content for your channel).

Hi. I've only come across your videos in the last 6 months and have been enjoying them. Hope you can find some inspiration somewhere to continue but sure, if you're not feeling it... I love your sign-offs. You always leave us with a positive message from the heart which is really great. Cheers and take care.

Hey, man! You have the great channel and videos! Im 40 and I'm from Russia, and I always find great new music to listen from you, keep my English a little, you know. Keep rocking! It's like a video diary, so awesome, positive and true! Peace! Waiting for new videos!

Morning Topper☕️👋🏻, I like seeing what’s in your collection, what are you saying? You are so true lots of evil out here that’s why we need your videos Topper!! On a happier thought it cracks me up to hear the puppers go at it lol......see!!! You brought a happiness 👏🏻.....later T. Be safe - Lis

dude, you could just pick random albums from your collection to show and talk about and I'd love it. I just like listening to you talk and chill out. It's great.

Also I don’t watch anyone else in the VC community. I tried, but only connected with you. I only branch out again if you personally recommend someone. You’re my absolute favorite, and I’ve watched you religiously for a couple of years now. And I think of you every time I see vinyl albums! Much love from Kentucky!!!!!!!!!!! -your dedicated fan

hi topper, great finds once again! those big star releases are great, a friend of mine got the vinyl and downloaded them for me. i love seeing anything and everything in your collection, from budget label to the hard to come by. any and all music is worthwhile, will look foward to your future posts! thanks for sharing and stay well

Hey Topper Keep those videos coming for sure.Like has been suggested you could take us on a trawl through your collection.Take Care Ian from Liverpool

You really scored with those two Big Star LPs. Please keep putting out videos if possible. Iove your channel.

Hey Topper. Thanks for sharing with us how you discovered Big Star. Those first 2 albums are necessary and I’m so glad you picked those up! Kings of power pop. Yeah, I had the 4MWB press of #1 Record and I traded it in. It was an awful press. Somehow I found a late 70s 2-LP press of these glorious albums while I was in Washington last year. Pricy, but store credit was put to good use! Nice update! Peace!

Great video!!! Thank you so much. Sad to see the shops closing, I built half my collection from thrift shops. Maybe you could do some top 10 videos? Your favorite albums by artist or genre from your collection? Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers

Topper is a pleasure to watch you are a real encyclopedia of music, I watched the presentations with great satisfaction and pleasure! I look forward to other presentations. I wish you good health and happy holidays, Happy Birthday! from Romania with respect George. Peace

For god sake please post more videos. Do some videos of your collection , that would be really interesting. You have so much knowledge. Greetings from Sweden.

My local store has three copies of Parish Hall right now. Happy to pick it up and send your way.

I think you have the nicest music channel on YT. Keep healthy. I stay tuned. Grts. from Holland.

I’m don’t about your neck of the woods but some of my best finds have been at garage sales and estate sales. A few weeks ago I picked up a record for two bucks that has sold for four hundred on Epay. Yup too much evil we need to get a mind set of respect and love for our fellow man.

Hey Topper... I watch your videos because I like them and I related to it. I have watched these 'high falutin' guys but I find them boring and pompous.. So I seldom watch them... You are interesting and please don't stop the videos..

Do whatever makes you happy. I just wanted to say thanks, and I appreciate your videos.

Love your videos.I always brighten up when one comes along.Have those Big Star ones on cd.

Your my number one VC go to guy! Thanks for always sharing your great collection and great vinyl finds!

Really enjoy watching your videos! Some great suggestions from other subscribers! Keep On...Keep it on!

I learned about Big Star in the 90s so I bought that CD with both of those albums. It was no big deal. 10 years later it clicked in my head and I became a fan. I have a OG of the first album but I lost my cover to the album. I did have a chance to own Radio City but I bought something else. Your dogs really serenade you. Topper, we tune in for you, the music is great but we enjoy you. Keep the videos coming. Steve

Love your messages always!! I found out about Big Star only maybe 6 or 8 years ago and got the neon sign cd then. They are a part of rock history. You always find this kind of thing and raise it up. Thank you!! Peace to you and everyone, please do the right thing, heal the world.

I enjoyed watching this. I love the vocal dawgs and Big Star. Cheap finds are the best. take care friend.

i think the dogs were howlin' at dolly...can't blame 'em...be well topper...peace...rocky

I really hope you keep making videos.I always look forward to your post.So please keep on keeping on.You always show some great finds.I really loved the video you showed that time when you went to the pawn shop and found all those great physcadelic albums.The other one was the time you went to your sons record shop job and you bought that collection from that guy.I saw some great stuff you found.I really hope you do continue to make videos.Stay gold my friend peace.

Hang in there, my friend. Times are tough. I've been lucky so far this summer. And as far as the expensive albums go, I prefer giving a home to used albums. And I'll probably stop buying soon because of financial reasons until next year. But there are themes I can use to talk about and show my collection. Don't give up my friend, whether you know it or not you are a guru to a lot of us. And we love seeing and hearing from you. Until next time Topper. Peace my brother.

I haven’t bought in a long time either :) I love Johnny Cash & Dolly Parton :) Enjoy your new pick ups! XO Ambie

Keep at it, brother! The hits are one thing, but there's always magic on the flip side!

Keep posting and sharing your passion for vinyl!! Do some record features and teach us!! There more of us like you than like the mobile fidelity collectors. Hurry back!!

Stick with it Topper! I'd be interested hearing about the records you already have. I don't buy that many now myself. Prices of the second hand LPs are going through the roof. Dare I say some merchants are getting greedy? ✌

I hope to see you do some more Videos, you have lots of Records behind you there and I bet some cool stories where this or that one came from. I found a original Dark Star at a local Antique, Second Hand store a couple of years back when I was putting my ideas together on opening a second hand Record Store, I sold it and bought more records and now have a little shop in the town were I live. I Love what I do and feel VERY Lucky even with all this going on. I shall raise a can of my favorite cheap beer to you. Cheers !!

Great to see you bro!thanx!

I hear ya on the running out of money thing....I am retired and it’s tough to keep buying..especially new releases...I am drooling over that Nick Mason album..I saw the show live in Toronto..It was amazing...Love that Johnny Cash record...I have both those Big Star albums and they are great...I think Radio City is the best of the two but both are fantastic...cool video and some great records..❤️❤️👍👍glen kellaway

Great stuff Topper, never heard of that nick mason set , I'll keep a lookout for it. Do keep going with the regular informative videos, I look forward to them !, Even if you just review your vast current collection. Cheers Peter

Hey Topper - you sound a little fatigued. Probably not a bad idea to take a short break. But I tell you, the best thing about the VC (to me) is seeing and hearing people talk about the records they've found or are listening to. Doesn't matter what the record is, as long as the discussion is good, and you're always tops (see what I did there?) in that department. Anyway, I enjoyed see the records you showed this time around. Hope you have a great weekend!

Hey man just letting you know I enjoy seeing your vids and finds a lot...I'm 23 and got into collecting years back but got into the KZfaq VC recently and you among with others have greatly helped to point me in the right directions! Hope you're doing well and keep rocking....

Hey Topper! Don`t be stranger. Love your vids. Stay with us Man.

all the best to u too my friend. Peace

Yes, lots of similar channels - but yours is the best! If I didn't live 4,000 miles away I'd send you a box of goodies.

I always liked Dolly Parton. Besides being a good musician she seems to be a genuinely good human being. I picked up those two Big Star records recently because, yeah, they were affordable and I've heard good things about Craft as well. I don't make a ton of videos, but I usually talk about what I'm spinning rather than what I just bought. Don't buy into the VC arms race. Talk about what you're listening to. Give the pups a scratch for me - they sound adorable! Cheers, Tom

I got to believe folks will go back to their normal routines at some point. At such time trading and donating records will go back to normal. But, it's looking like maybe next summer.

Hey Topper! Maybe is time for another cleaning vídeo? I realy enjoy all your videos! Thank you! 😁

I too discovered Big Star many years after the fact A CD package of their first two albums...I was knocked out!

Hey Topper keep making videos man I really enjoy them ✌✌✌✌✌✌🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💥

PS you offer more then those high end numbers. Just play music. Your collection is deep. Lastly seriously your message is obivous, relax baby’s! Vote. I’m diggin ya top man. Stay the course. Rock and record on baby!!

Keep at it Topper - You are part of what is right in the world. Im with everyone else here, I believe you've got plenty of content buried in your collection.

Hey Man, Don't change what you do, the pristine pressings are not what it's all about.- love your style

Hey hey Topper!! Always love your videos. Hope you don’t stop making them. I love seeing your stuff, old and new. I get to see things I never normally see. You don’t have to have new stuff to make videos on. You could do themed videos like “top 10 most expensive” or “top 10 ones you wished you’d never got” or “your house is on fire (god forbid) and you have 30secs to pull 10 LP’s to save them. Which do you pull?” Or you could pick an artist and show all the stuff you have on that one artist e.g. a video on your Wings collection, say. If I think of more ideas, I’ll let you know. Love your vids!! Keep orrrrn keepin’ orrrrnn!!!

Always enjoy your little chats Sir Topper accompanied by a fine taste in Music, In spite of this somewhat sad video I di hope you continue to keep on the good work.

Hope things get better soon and that you find another place to shop for 'cheap' records cause I love to watch your videos. Or do as czarevich said, you have a vast collection to make videos from. Keep the spirit up, pal. Hope to see you soon 😎🤘👍

Cheers! Any video you post is always good!

Hey, you've got great stories, you'll always have something to say about the music you love. Isn't that why we do this? Cheers.

I look forward to your videos. Keep on truckin' Bro.

Your girls howling on cue with the pic of Dolly couldn’t have been timed better. lol

I'd rather listen to the Dogs than Big Star. Glorious noises, although maybe not all day! Keep positive, good news today, Jim Jones caught the virus - we live in hope!

Hey Oddbox Topper, long time viewer and occasional commenter here. I feel your pain about vinyl drying up, same here in Clarksville, Tn. However I just returned from the local Goodwill with a small haul. John Cougar American Fool ELO ELO II Dexy's Midnight Runners Too-Rye_ay Rod Stewart Camoflague Joe Walsh The Smoker You Drink...... Glen Campbell Live 2 disc Randy Travis Storms of Life Cyndi Lauper She's So Unusual Eagles The Long Run Eric Clapton Slow Hand David and David Boomtown (haven't a clue about this) Billy Squire Emotion's in Motion Styx Paradise There are still finds out there, so keep looking. I know I am. And as always, long live The Bangles.

Hey Topper, love Big Star one of my favourites. Great song writing and super edgy sound. Good to see you and it sounds like the dogs miss your company lol. Hope your doing well, Cheers Snowy

It's not what people show its the person that's showing it. :)

Maybe you would consider doing some videos that are theme or genre based using the records you already have. That would be great to watch.

Personally, I know 99.9% of the ultra-rare records people pull out on most of these other channels are completely not my taste at all. The fact that a record is 'rare', that simple economics have caused it to be expensive or logistics makes it hard to find, that barely interests me at all, unless there's a whole lot of backstory. What I much prefer, is hearing someone's experience with a record they already own or have recently been able to find... the emotional, personal attachment. When it really *means* something. That's how I feel about every record I own, and if the shops are all closing/getting too expensive, I'd love to keep hearing more about your collection and the meaning the records hold for you.

Soooo bummed to hear stores are closing around. Hopefully things turn around.

You're right man it is drying up everywhere as far as albums are concerned people are holding on to them. And they're bringing us crap to the antique store running $10 in the album for crap that I could not even sell for $2..lol it's not really funny but what can we do? start digging deep into your collection and showing us some of that great stuff you got man we would love to see it. When all this crud goes away you need to make a road trip to Knoxville bro and we'll go out digging together stay safe my friend and thank you for the video

Do just post through all the goodies you already have in your collection! Perhaps by genre or another grouping

Dolly 45 years ago, seems like yesterday.

Cool Big Star albums. Sucks your honey holes are drying up/closing. Love the Dick Dale in the background! Cheers

Four men with beards is mostly bad. I never got into Big Star. But I may give them another chance. The vc needs you. I will miss you so show what you got. Your stories are so entertaining. Love you brother.

I recently got the Big Star documentary dvd at my local Dollar Tree. Haven’t watched it but I have heard it’s a good one

Big Star is my favorite band. Most of the reissues are pretty poor, including the Four Men With Beards and others. The German Line reissues from the late seventies/ eighties are excellent. I stopped making videos quite a while ago because youtube kept pulling them down, but I will say that my thrift store finds were my most watched vids. Trying to keep up with The Jones is not a great reason to bow out. Just show albums you love and tell stories. That's why folks watch. There is no place near me to find records any more either, but I'm going to start my channel up again very soon. We need positive people right now. Just some thoughts. Take care...

Hi Topper! I've been debating whether to get that Nick Mason on vinyl, which looks beautiful, or the CD set with the DVD. Always enjoy your videos. Cheers!

Only if you would of had coupons!! Massive finds. Play it LOUD! 🚀

Love your videos. Keep showing your vinyls. We miss ya when your not on. Send me an address topper , I have some records for you . Art

i howl when is see a pic of dolly too

Topper, show us some cool obscure stuff you got in your collection, we don't need you to spend money to watch.

Nice, very nice topper

Please do record reviews. Turn us on to obscure tunes.

So it's a 'no brainer' to spend $20 on a CD/DVD package that'll likely be worthless on the resale market, compared to spending $40 on a Vinyl set that might actually be in demand in the future? Maybe it's just me, but I feel that buying physical copies of any digital music is basically a waste of money? Big Star is awesome though! When I started collecting vinyl again one of the first albums I bought was some 180g reissue of Big Star!

If you leave us, the boy bands will overtake all and their music will destroy the world!!!!!!!
