That's a gorgeous town. I've never seen so many amazing titles at an antique mall. What a beautiful setting. I love all of those old cubbyholes and cabinets. I could've spent hours in that store. Have a great weekend, Steve.

Nice tour. Love that Blondie album!

Mike, looks like you could've picked up a lot of dead things in that store too. That record by The Beat that you flicked past is a power pop shed burner!! I don't lose my mind over The Divinyls but those early ones aren't bad. I paid way too much for that Blondie album because it was part of that Numero box set that came out last year, maybe this year. It's actually a pretty sweet box with all the bells and whistles, but it does take up a lot of real estate. I figure with prices Mike, you win some you lose some. Cheers...Mike

hey Steve, as soon as you flipped to that pink Lyres record I said “grab that!” and you did. At $4 bucks it’s a steal, even if you have it already. You’ve saved me a vinyl hunting stop when I’m in Leadville next week, but I might go in anyway to check out the pelts 😂.

Leadville, home of heavy metal mines, probably not much Zamrock.

Did you notice that album that tried to steal your Sunday show title "The Sunday River Bluegrass Show"? Nice antique mall. Thanks, Chris

Always enjoy your record store hunting videos I don’t live near a used record shop but I’m constantly amazed at some of the prices on the records in your videos Getting harder to find a record in decent quality for less than 25-30 dollars Nice video

Great video. You hit all the right reasons to pick up a greatest hits album.

Hello Steve; The store looked well stocked right down to the ⬆prices. Don't want to be taken to the vinyl record 💲💵cleaners. Some very good vinyl finds to an extent, which can be only appreciated by you. Take care, Tina & Pat!!~

Yes,yes,A hundred times yes.The Lyres..album great.. But!!..You gotta hear the SLOW version of " "She Pays the Rent"..... I think the fast version is on the album. You tube has the SLow version..You can tell it's the Slow version because it's two minutes longer than the fast version.. (clocks in at 4:44)

cool, steve, i been thru leadville way back in the early 1990's once,looks like they have a cool rock albums in there!

Looks like an interesting town, I’m putting on my touring list. Hard to see some of the prices on account of those green stickers, but they seemed a little to a lot high. Oh well, you don’t have to buy do you? Great background music Steve. Cheers.

I wasn’t too impressed Steve with the prices. You get 4 albums you’re spending a $100 or more. Maybe finding one or two it would be ok. Good variety though. Get any good food around there? Nice Blondie album!

Love this shop ! I read your comment to Mark.. Circle Jerks would have been the one to go home with ! I hear there's a good record store up in Cheyenne ! 😊

Interesting store with interesting prices. Nice to see to came out even. You are even Steven (or Stephen).

Hi Steve - Plastic Letters by Blondie was the one that stuck out as well ! The Australian bands all appeared drastically overpriced. Ready for football this weekend with Pac 10 & Big 10 now 1.

Steve, I’d need some oxygen that high up! They have some great metal. Some prices so so, some prices may be good depending on condition. That Scorpions Crazy World is a 90’s record. If it’s OG could be crazy price but I couldn’t see it in the video. Mrs. Zonkman and I are going nuts. To see that Vixen album also. Those are all good records. Not normal crap in antique stores. Unless you didn’t show us the crap bins. Separated well also. Cool store. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman

Great store but woa… some prices on those I must say… Trilobites? Well, if you can’t have a hyena head on the wall, what’s the point of anything? That was an odd Doors LA Woman? Oooh, wish I could have grabbed a couple of those INXS 12“ Arcadia, best Duran Duran record not called Duran Duran. I’d be in that store all day. Awesome and fun 😊 Another great video Steve 😊

I’m selling records at my first show in November here in Maine. Seeing the prices at that Mall, I’m pricing things too low. I’m basically using Discogs medium, plus a buck or two if it’s really clean and a bit less if not so clean.

So it sounds like you had Goldilocks syndrome, Professor - one priced too low, one priced too high, and one priced just right....heh heh...glad it worked out for you. Love the tour of the store, fascinating stuff there!

Some good deals Steve? You have to look around . Sometimes the vendors in those antique malls haven’t a clue how to price them but that’s getting slimmer. Cool town bye for now art

Rekkids on a hardware store whodathunk. Amazing selection too. Colorado probably has many surprises in store for you 😊. Thanks for the tour. FIFO 🎉

Nice spot.

Cool topic. I have lots of greatest hits albums. For Cat Stevens and Steppenwolf that's really all I need. They were especially great when I was a kid and wanted to hear all the radio songs. Enjoyed it Steve!

Having known the lint brothers and their douchebag snobbery if you're in to these guys great I'd rather spend my money elsewhere so should you.

Sigh...... Colorado crust snobbery save your money and go to black and read.

Mol Miles Davis last record on Warner Bros by by

One could say that’s all the great music I need in my collection. Awesome greatest hits albums, Steve.

Interesting thoughts Steve. I'm getting a few greatest hits back into the collection if they are mostly killer, the tracks flow well and they save me space. I prefer my records non-fluffy too...

I’m not a big fan of greatest hits but some are very good. The first four Santana albums are great. Sly and the Family Stone greatest hits is one of the best.

I don’t have many greatest hits, because the music I’m mostly into these days aren’t exactly topping the charts lol, but I love a good comp album. Other than artist intent, I think especially in the record collecting world some people don’t like greatest hits because all songs are copied from master tapes of the respective albums to a tape copy, and lord forbid if the songs aren’t cut from the OG master tape….

I'm not really into greatest hits albums - though, I do have that Foo Fighters. I do have a few but generally, if I'm not interested enough to buy their albums, I'm not interested enough to buy their greatest hits. Sure, not being into greatest hits has cost me money but not being into live albums has saved me money. And I'm not into bootlegs which has saved me even more money. When you consider the massive amount I'm saving, buying the records I do is hardly costing me anything at all.

Crows sounds interesting, if the band is good, that type of music is especially enjoyable to me live.

I don't know how you manage to cram all that stuff into your life. I went to the Banksy exhibit and that's me done for a couple of months. I think that's why I became a writer. That way I can just write about all kinds of fun and wonderful stuff but never have to leave my basement.

Gidday Steve, greatest hits albums have come into my collection as part of finding music I like. I don't need every album. Very few of your Greatest Hits album never made it to Oz, half of these bands I have never heard of, but the Eagles one - I bought brand new and found that four more copies have come my way by default, they will be swapped or moved on eventually. Thanks for your knowledge.

"Let 'er highball, engineer!" What's happenin', SC? When you told me about your youth spent riding the rails, it made me think of the Great Depression. I know you're older, but you're not that old. I wonder if you've heard "U.S. Highball" by Harry Partch. Harry spent nine years riding the rails as a hobo during the Great Depression. Then in 1941 when he rode the rails, he took a notebook that he used to write down what he encountered, including what the hobos said. The only alterations he made were to "profanity as repetitive as the sound of wheels on the track." The notebook became the basis for "U.S. Highball." In order to get the sounds he wanted for his compositions, he built the instruments himself. I think "U.S. Highball" is, in its own oddball way, up there with Rhapsody in Blue. Partch called it "the most creative piece of work I have ever done." It was recorded in Wisconsin and released on GME records in 1946. GME records was a label run by Dr. Warren Gilson, the man whose home "U.S. Highball" was recorded in. It came out as three red vinyl 78s. According to Discogs: "Pressed in an edition of only 100 copies and sold by word of mouth with no advertising. Even at the modest original price of $6.75 per set, it took a few years for the pressing of 100 copies to sell out." None have ever been sold on Discogs, though seven people say they have it. Who knows? I suppose the nature trail near where I live is like my "U.S. Highball." Part of it was once an old railroad. Like you, I do distance running. Nothing on the order of the Leadville 100 though. And it costs $425 and $475 just to enter that race. You pay $$$ to be tortured. Last year I ran a marathon every month for a year. I call them Romanathons. I'm not fast. Running is a way, like record collecting, to channel my addictive/obsessive nature. "I spoke / To a man down at the tracks / And I ask him / How he don't go mad" I have met many oddballs on the trail. One guy told me, "The way they make black people here is by dipping white people in chocolate." He then added, "That's f!;*ed up." It made me think of "Chocolate City" by Parliament. Imagine if you had dark skin and were sitting next to this guy on a train. He leans over and licks your arm. "Just wanna check." Good grief. Hopefully, it doesn't cause you too much grief to read my missives. Till next time, stay groovy. "You exclamation mark bum! Get your semicolon asterisk out o' these yards"

I'm a big fan of a solid greatest hits package. Sly and the Family Stone is a great example of a collection that's gold from start to finish. I'm glad you included the Smashing Pumpkins! The Immaculate Collection is a great representation of Madonna’s 80s output.. Mr. Carlson, we'll have to have a conversation. I didn't see a greatest hits album for the jazz genre. How about Miles Davis's greatest hits? Bowie 1st 🥇

Love my Grassroots - Golden Grass: Their Greatest Hits, and the follow-up: More Golden Grass!

Mike, I have a lot of compilations, but I don't have many greatest hits records. It's probably because I don't have many bands that had hits. I love 60's garage rock comp's, 70's punk comp's and OG ska comp's. All of those genres were much more a singles scene than full length albums, although admittedly of course there was some classic records come out of all of those scenes too, but you know what I'm trying to say in my inarticulate way Mike. I can't help but notice a lot of your GH's are middle of the road dudes & dudettes (ok maybe not NWA), which really goes against the grain of all of your magnificent OG punk, African funk & psych, shoegaze, 60's psych, blues & on & on albums. Please explain Mike? Foo Fighters & The Eagles are the beige of rock. Abba please tell me it isn't so! ..sorry but you know the old saying "I don't know much about art but I know what I hate" You're a complicated man Mike. Cheers...Mike

My favorite Pink Floyd album is “Echoes”, the 2 disc collection. Tell that to a PF diehard and they lose their ****.😂

Fully agree on starting out with greatest hits. If you don't know the bands/artists music. There's many bands that i only need a greatest hits. Sometimes though there's the problem of the hit single being deceiving. I always remember buying the The Singles by the Pretenders and loving it. Then i bought their first album. The three singles off the album are nothing like the rest of the songs. Guess was i surprised to listening to the album and finding another band within them. Now i do think it's great, but i had to get over the first feeling of being taken for a fool. Pasi

Thanks for the shout out Steve! GH packages (for me) are for band that I do not need the entire discography. CCR would be a perfect example, as I do not own any studio albums of theirs, the hits is perfect. And I am in full agreement, bands like Floyd do need a GH package, so many of their albums have a theme, that picking and choosing songs just doesn't work. Cheers!

Hey Steve, great video. That store was stacked! I notice One Step Beyond by The Chocolate Watchband and Quebec by Ween… both high on my wantlist. Great stuff, Jack

I know some people are a bit sniffy about greatest hits but they are an important part of my collection. Sometimes it's nice to have all the singles together in one place. And "best of's" are a great way to discover an artist that might have passed you by. Nice video Steve.

I am not so find of greatest hits actually. It is often the most selling songs and made them more commercial and less artistic. But I understand the problem with space ....

Hey Steve, this is a really informative primer for newbies out there ! Do you remember when 'Greatest Hits' were a 'badge of honor' - that's when you knew you had a worthwhile artist ! This video has set me thinking... what would a 'Greatest Hits' of your channel's content contain? .... 'Steve Carlson's Greatest Hits'..... the mind boggles at the possibilities !! 😛

My only gripe with compilation type releases is the continuity suffers. One song differs in sound quality/SQ from the next, depending where it is sourced from. I have some pretty good comps though. Greatest hits can suffer that same fate. 👍. Nice collection my friend 😃

Good thing about the Primitives, they only issued 3 albums in their innitial, “important“, run 😊

i separate " greatest hits " from " best ofs " either way they are perfect for driving.

Hello Steve; Greatest Hits, you could compile a video of your own record buying scores, mistakes, & flubs. Titled hits & misses. Nice selection of greatest hit & best of collections. The sets with analytical & comprehensive notes are the best. Good video. The hits edition. Take care, Tina & Pat!~
