I Love lounge and cocktail music! Trish

I have lots of Fats Domino on Imperial half on 78 half on 45

Wow, you've had those records forever! You must have started collecting when you were 12 like I did! I started with 45s - 9 cents each, 15 for a buck!

Your channel just came up on my feed. So I Stayed, I saw and I watched. Enjoyed your stroll down vinyl lane. The thrift stores are raising their prices to 1.99 or way more. Thats a shame. Btw. I subbed.

i like cars and records also

I am looking forward to seeing the next video from the collection however I am also interested in seeing the rest of the collection the ones you don't have alphabetized might be a good time to realphabatize them

thanks

Mike - you should of titled this video “ Mike finally shows records by artists people have heard of” - this was an awesome peak into your collection , and sharing your family tree 🌲 info , which actually sounds more like a 🌳 bush was kool lol 👍🏻👏

Hi Mike Hey Abba is cool there's no shame in your game. I prefer ABC over acdc!lots of interesting 80s grooves. Back in the 90s Folks people dumped albums for CDs and now they are dumping CDs for records. Thumbs up! Trish

Thanks for sharing Mike

I had monster record collections, sold/traded them away for CDs, then re-collected vinyl again starting with the pandemic because I was the only one to sell to for a couple years, so now I again have huge record collections because I bought them by the carload from starving sellers!

ABC...Easy as 1-2-3😊

Funny i was born,& raised in Everett, Washington, except 3yrs in the U.S. Army. Liking your collection. I just purchased AC DC 'Hiway to Hell' Congratulations

Hello Mike, what do you consider some of your 78s grail collection to be?

I have a tun of 78s mostly symphony stuff from longieins. Are they worth anything?

Hi Mike Another great Stack of records! Trish

I love collecting the "Tighten-up" cover versions and rip off songs that came out after Archie Bells mega success with Tighten Up. The first 3 albums by Archie Bell & the Drells are all amazing albums start to finish. Not always the case with Soul albums but they are funky as heck and very underrated.

I have quite a stack of cover versions of Tequila. Some I have on 45 but some on comps that I imagine are unfindable on 45 here in the UK. There are some great ones out there and I bet I haven't scratched the surface. Pun intended lol.

You should show off your Jukebox collection and stereo systems as well I would love to see what you got

The thing about 78s they seem to take a beating and still sound good even through the scratches

Do you have an earthquake every time you upload a video now? Yikes! Keep your record shelves very stable! ...Meanwhile, over here in the east we somewhat dodged the remnants of rainy Debby! 🌧☔...Me, I'm presently wading through 800+ 45s from a massive trade!

Mike I have 78's that are in rough shape but they play well

5 Police albums, you forgot Outlandos D'Amour and Zenyatta Mondatta. I'd love to find that clean Shangri-Las LP in the wild. I just find their singles.

Hi Mike, nice to look and listen at your video's, especially when it concerns 78's. I hear you talk about label names en sometimes in combination with the colour it is (physically). Can you explain what the colour has to do with the label and the record? Thanx in advance for your reaction. Greets from the Netherlands by Paul PS: you also uses the abbreviation R&B. Do you mean rhythm and blues by that?

I think know most music but if I thumbed thru a stack and these were in there at a flea market or whatever , I’d skip them all Why buy unknown artists or unknown records in general ? Do you buy just to flip them ?

I put mine in alphabetical order.

Hi Mike wow more cool 45s! Thumbs up!Trish

I too am a record collector and my favorite Group to collect is the Cadillacs. I already have lots of their stuff on 45s and Both Of Their Albums, but i have yet to find any 78s. Watching this will give me the hope that one day i will find a 78 of speedoo.

Hey, Mike I have a lot of Ravens Shellac, You can't go wrong with that group. The First Doo Wop R&B Group the other to come after is The Orioles. By the way you do a great job with the Car Shows

This is a good 45, but the versions are different on the 78 rpm on the Jubilee😊 pink label

Roll it, Mike! ...I love mystery records - I have quite a few! Don't know that oddity on Jubilee, though... I have many 45s by The Champs but not the one you showed... Do have that fantastic Guitar Ramblers 45! ...Never saw that Leadbelly boxset on Elektra but looks like a goodie! Did recently find a few nice NM Phil Ochs LPs (first pressings!) on Elektra...BTW, there are a couple 101 Strings LPs worth big money - super-psych releases and extremely rare, believe it or not! ...Again, thanks for showing a lot of odd stuff this time!

Some great stuff in there.

Shut up play some music 🤫🍻

Joe Houston is "The Wildman of the Tenor Sax" I lucked out and found not one but 2 Joe Houston LP's..."doing the TWIST" at some thrift stores. This guy really blasts the SAX! A lot of his big hits were during his time in LA.

You always seem to find some good things. Here in Tennessee it's hard to find Rock music on 78s however i did pick a few up at at estate sale a month or so ago but it is few and far between

Some great finds again! Tommy Facenda He was in Gene vincent's Blue caps

the casinos record,the B side I still love you, is a northern soul classic

The Doors 45 is collectible because it was their first single and it wasn't a hit. I need a clean copy of that to go with my picture sleeve. Are you planning to sell it?

Part of one of my recent finds was The Music Machine's "The Eagle Never Hunts The Fly" (a non-hit) in clean shape with that same original Original Sound company sleeve that you found.

Lillian Briggs was an East Coast artist. She did uptempo stuff bordering on rock. She was attractive and sexy. I think she played the trombone!

You're cookin' on all 4 burners lately! The Challengers LP is nice - never saw that LP! ...Nice, cheap 45s this time - I do have that Jimmy McCracken 45 and a few others by him as well - all very nice! I think I also have that Doors 45, "Break On Through" - wasn't that their 1st 45? ...Never saw those 2 cool Original Sound 45s - I love novelty records! ...My copy of the Kuf-Linx 45 is on the blue challenge label. I have at least 2 different cities on that Tommy Facenda 45 - 1 in Pennsylvania (Maybe York) and I forget what the other city was... The Short Cuts 45 is very good - I like the flipside, "Don't Say He's Gone" - classic girl group sound! ...Well, went back to the Good Will store this morning and bought 17 more LPs - senior day made them $1.00 each! ...Again, thanks for showing - see ya next installment!

I have the Medallions Buick 59 in my Collection good record

Jerry Osborne has The Victorians listed. For #411, he lists a 78 and a 45. Interestingly, he says a subsequent release by the group only came out on 78. There were definitely more 78 releases in those days. He says a Specialty 45 of #411 can go for a thousand!

Does the lack of a liner detour you from buying a record?

When I was selling online my #1 rule was to NOT list any record that is cheaper than the shipping & packaging costs - that's totally ridiculous - who does that and why?? 😵‍💫 ...I just found The Aristo-Cats 45 last week @GW! It would be great to find the LP! (Still $1.99 for most LPs at my local GW - half-price the week that color tag is on sale)... I haven't pursued the estate sale thing - too many record collectors in my area of Pennsylvania! Found that out when I do yard/garage sales but I do get lucky sometimes! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes!

For visiting Americans a guide to UK Sunday car-booting. 1. Set the alarm for 5.30 am. When it goes off spring out of bed and throw the bloody thing across the room and go back to bed till 10.30am. 2. If it's raining stay in bed. 3. If it's sunny stay in bed. This is the UK and it's sure to be raining within 30 minutes. 4. DO NOT take the wife. She will only spend the entire time complaining whilst you flick through the Val Doonican rarities. There's also the strong possibility she will buy a load of useless tat that she insists you can't do without even though you've got through the first 60 years of your existence without any of it. 5. Be prepared for disappointment. The last decent Northern Soul 45 was found in 1983. Every chance of coming across a Whistling Jack Smith but unless, like Mike you're as mad as a hatter, then best to leave it where it is. 6. Whilst perusing the records on sale take the time to reconsider your collecting habits. If you had not settled on collecting doo-wop, rockabilly, or soul and instead had gone for James Last you'd be making out like a bandit right now. 7. Return home ignoring the wife's pitying told-you-so looks and kid yourself that next week it will be different. Well, it'll still be raining !

My mate wanted me to whistle on a song he wrote. I saw my whistling face and I was like nope I ain't pulling that face on stage lol.

Nothing wrong with finding country or Hillbilly and showing them as well

Great to see a copy of KING SIZE PAPA JULIA LEE . I have 2 compilation albums by her that were issued here in the UK by CHARLEY RECORDS in the early 80s . I no longer collect 78s, but did have some AMERICAN label RnB from the late 40s through to the 50s. Wish I had your luck, finding such great stuff.

I have a promo copy of that Harlem Globetrotters 45, Yes I always look through the 78's sets, almost always they have a record that doesn't belong, usually not a good record but you never know. Grandpa Jones I think was on Hee Haw. The Boogie Woogie player in England is Brendan Kavanagh.
