Amazing stuff. Can only imagine how fun it is to go through the collection.

THANKS FOR SHARING. I am go glad that I get to see the insight into one of the legions of rock and roll/Jazz.

Still cant believe you chilled with george benson.amazing

Those Weldons are a great find. Looking forward to seeing more of this collection.

Killer collection, Mike! That Kenny Dorham-Whistle Stop Deep Groove pressing is extremely rare as it fell around the time that Deep Groove was being removed from the pressings!

Thanks 4 the peak at this cool collection

Your enthusiasm is catching.

Weldon Irvine lived in Cambria Heights Queens in the early 70's. I used to dig at the nearby Valley Stream flea market in the early 90's and once found a beautiful copy of that Nodlew Liberated Brother album for $1.

Getting the collection. Makes me jealous. Hope the ones you sell go to good homes.

What a Epic collection!!!

wow!! great video. amazing!!!

Heaven on earth is still available!!!what a Killer collection...great job

One Flight up is one of my favorite jazz albums. I'd love to hear it on Mike's system!

Well, this is going to be amazing.

I LOVE this video, and the pedigree of where it came from.

I shared a steam bath with George Benson at Harrah's Tahoe, he sang for us.

Nice Mike! I'll be buying, I'm just getting into jazz! These titles are going to be perfect for my collection!

YEAH BABY....HAM HOCKS!! AWESOME....THANKS MIKE....WENT AND BOUGHT ME ONE.....

Wow, just like my collection! Ok, maybe not. What an awesome start

Mosaic put out a great box of Strata East material (Clifford Jordan's Dolphy Series) a few years ago.

It woulda been nice if it'd been possible to reveal Georges Collection by like Genre ? G.B.'s Blues Colection, G.B.'s Jazz Collection, G.B.'s Psych Collection, G.B.'s Rock Collection, and so-forth... Looking forward to the further follow-ups 🤗 .

Reppin Kenny Dorham on his birthday. Respect.

He has two listed on ebay that I want, but there are so many bids on all of them. He has two of Wayne Shorters albums and a Kenny Burrell I would love to own

I am super jelly, I believe the kids might have used to say by now.

Great stuff, love your channel. BUT please don't perpetuate the myth that you can look at a record and tell if it's been played. Many sellers get away with this nonsense assessment. NM or even M: yes --- but 'unplayed' is too far. I have heard my fair share of "unplayed" records with audible groove damage. Looking forward to more of Sir George's collection. Thanks !!

How did the stuff that had water damage not destroy the rest of the collection?

I always thought that splotching was due to when crummy recycled vinyl gets aged. I always see it on Capitol Beatles records

I checked out the Dorham listing on eBay. Congrats! Although it’s comically tragic how you manage to incorrectly use the possessive “s” every single time. So also congrats?

George Benson is legendary.... bottom line!

Ok,OK,. I ,too,love your enthusiasm. BUT... you obviously love "the music" and-like most of us-continue to learn more about it. One thing you should know is that the Art Blakey lp is called "Buhaina's Delight" (pronounced Boo-HEY-na),the last "na" as in "Sha-na-na". According to the lp liner notes by Leonard Feather,Buhaina "is Abdullah Ibn Buhaina,alias Art Blakey. One of the first jazzmen...attracted to the tenets of Islam,he does not use the name professionally." So,NOT "Buddah",but Muhammad! 😀 Also,recommended reading to flesh out the music's history in interesting ways :"Hard Bop" David Rosenthal(informative and swingin') "Notes And Tones" Drummer Art Taylor's collection of first person interviews with fellow musicians. What it was REALLY like...(essential reading) Thanks again,and keep swingin'...

@8:45 - 'splotching from records stored in paper sleeves' - interesting how you're saying that as you're pulling the vinyl out of a plastic sleeve with a plastic type sleeve outside of the record jacket as well - and interesting how you're the first person to ever state paper sleeves will cause a chemical reaction with vinyl. It's true some rigid forms of paper can cause micro scratches scuffs ect - not a chemical reaction though. Do you have any sources to back up such a claim? BTW some call it 'ghosting' or 'hazing' of the vinyl

Why don't you put the records in the sleeve?

Seldomly

Not what you are keeping. What are you selling already jealous. Everyone watching knows you have first pick man.

I have decided to unsubscribe because I would never put my record attached to the back side rather than actually in the cardboard sleeve. Lame. That trend I have seen and find it ridiculous. It's woosie and no real collector does this....this channel is now a waste of my time. I respect you, but that version of vinyl religion is not my bag!
