Mind of The Record Collector: Josh Norrid - CEO/Owner of Hi-Fidelity Records
Buddies, Record Collectors, lend me your eyes (and ears)! For this latest 'sode on Vinyl Community Podcasts we resume my series "Mind of The Record Collector" which asks what we collect, why we collect it, and how we find it. Our guest today aims to touch all three tenets, and that is Josh Norrid - CEO/Owner of Hi-Fidelity Records in Tulsa, OK. Josh has a story familiar to many in the Vinyl Community: how a passion for this format and the music that comes from it lead him to work at record stores, for record companies, and eventually to open and operate his own business selling the best of the best Audiophile and high-end records available in the market today. Josh cut his teeth as a buyer at Josey Records, then learned directly from the pulpit (literally) of Chad Kassem's Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions operations in Salina, KS, before finally taking the leap in founding his own online business. Josh shares his personal journey as a collector along that road and shares his thoughts on the hobby today, how he sources his inventory, and even shares how he's added 21st century social marketing techniques to put the best pieces in the hands of the best collectors anywhere. Josh has a burgeoning presence on social media, including his own UA-cam channel sharing information, tips, and details he's honed in his 20 years plus in the business. We know you'll enjoy this latest "Mind of The Record Collector" as much as we did!

i want to open a record store, wich stores should i buy records so i can sell them? like distributors
Email me or DM me on IG and I can give some ideas ✌🏻
Chance you’re always so fun . Thanks for all you do man
@@anthonyburke223 Thanks Buddie! Means a lot 🙏🏻
Nice to see the full team there. Definitely bought a few resealed records over the years with the punchhole/cut-out being the obvious giveaway, as Arnaldo said. My pal just bought a sealed record online last week for £40. Just an average funk rock kinda lp but the actual record inside is a mint Grodeck Whipperjenny (£200+ JB related obscurity). Absolutely bizarre how that happened. He's obviously gonna keep it and hopes to find a sleeve although it's unlikely. Great chat guys... cheers Nige
@@nigelcampag1290 it’s rare to hear of the record error on the inside being BETTER than what was supposed to be inside - love it! I do know there are a few trading groups on Facebook for just sleeve upgrades; mostly for people with great sleeves but junk records looking for their better vinyl condition counterparts. Cheers Nige 🍺
Jose’s comment! 😂 First of all why would anyone want that record?! Too funny. Such great timing! ⏱️ So many great points from all the panelists! 👍🏽👍🏽 I would only recommend trading in person when there is a decent turntable present to spot play grade the records involved in the trade. I just traded my 3rd state Beatles Butcher Cover for one of the rarest Elvis 45s in existence. Great show, Champ!
Thanks Buddie! First topic definitely inspired by your videos of late 💪🏻
@@ConcertBuddie I’m relieved I didn’t inspire you to do a show on Band T-Shirts that don’t fit fat guys! 😂😂
@TheVinylRecordMission 😂😂😂 tune in next week 😂😂😂
@@ConcertBuddie 😳🤣
Always appreciate the shout out. This is an interesting discussion especially with some saying keep it sealed vs better to open it. It comes down to this- it’s your collection. Do what you want and enjoy it Always a great job Chance keeping everything rolling
Thanks Steve! You guys did great talking about it over the weekend - beat me to it!
So slabbing and adding that cost to an already dubious sealed record possibly should insure best value in the future when slabbing may be a silly footnote in the history of vinyl.
Back to your other comment, I would think these slabbing companies know what to look for on re-sealed items. I’m not that intimately familiar with their full evaluation process, but (if it was me) that’s something that would have to be part of the overall grading + authenticating process. Thoughts?
@@ConcertBuddie plastic dna carbon dating of your “sealed” lp cellophane Is that where the slab guys expertise lies or is it the marketing of their “service”? Been collecting since 1970 and would never consider any value to the sealed aspect . To extrapolate forward and assume the sealed aspect is authentic and adding the next dubious slabbing cost seems counterintuitive for me. Good discussion Chance. Thanks always. Tony
I worked in a record store from 78-80 while in college, we would reseal records regularly. It is easy and common to reseal, so you need to be very trusting to assume a 50 year old record that is sealed has been in that condition since birth. Back in the 70s ,the most coveted records were imports and they were rarely sealed.
Interesting share, thanks! Hadn’t been aware that practice was common back then. Even MORE reason to #skiptheseal
Trading website is a great idea
Absolutely! Could be a gamechanger and cut down on some of the price gouging going on; sellers would have to be more price competitive. Thanks for watching the show!

Good conversation. I like Josh's story.
Thanks for checking it out K! Unrelated, initial thoughts on the Blues Traveler?
Thanks for watching!
Another good one Chance. As you know not an approach to vinyl thats really in my wheelhouse but always fascinating to hear other peoples philosophies . I always said that 12" singles were the best kept secret in the VC..& that Nora Jones is essentially a 12" 45 rpm Ep. I'm sitting on a goldmine fellah! My time will come!😅
Ahead of the game, per usual HP! I know several other collectors in my orbit who have been adding more focus in their searches to 12” singles of late. Next time, clue me in earlier so there’s less competition! 😎
Awesome video!! Thx guys! Love the story..
You rock! Thank you for the kind words and spending some time watching the piece! 🙏🏻

@@arzabael good to see you back here. What did you think?
@@ConcertBuddie can’t lie to you c-man, picking up right now where I left off the other day, and loving this VC lore of the mighty Josh’s story. Its such a small cool world to learn about with all the great records that make up the universe and all the major players in it, thanks for using your platform to give some of them more of a platform and all spreading the knowledge and love. And it’s always awesome if there’s a part in the story that includes meeting Willy Wonka and going to the chocolate factory. It’s awesome his business originates with affiliations with Chad. Good things! I hope you’re professional ventures in the musical world keep coming strong too sir, Amen
Chads used records are absolutely high priced. I don’t think I can ever substantiate buying from his vault. There are great discogs sellers but it takes time to figure out who is gonna follow thru.
Premium pricing has kept me from buying from the Vinyl Vault up until recently. From this limited sample size, I can report the grading was spot on the money, and shipped in the traditional AS mailer box. I’d love more “sales” or promotions run on that part of the business. Just my two cents ✌🏻 Thanks for checking out this video!
Thanks for the interview Chance....very entertaining and informative. Delivered with the usual panache mate. Cheers Nige
Thanks for stopping by (and the kind words as always) Nige 🫡.

Always interesting especially how the Atlantic 75 deal worked. Nice to hear how Josh was able to make this all happen.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching Steve!
A lot of respect 🫡 for Josh! He is spot on about everything! Tricky is an understatement when it comes to buying large collections. There’s no magic formula other than being honest with the seller. When I buy in bulk the first thing I tell the seller is the following. If they want retail value (discogs, popsike or eBay) they will need to sell their records one at a time. To do that they need to open up an eBay account or discogs account, learn how to properly list a records, buy shipping supplies, learn how to properly grade, describe and pack records. Learn how to take great photos and upload them etc etc. And even then there is no guarantee they will sell them. You get the picture. You’ve gotta be a snake 🐍 charmer. This was a great interview with a legit and knowledgeable record lover! I’ll definitely be checking out Hi Fidelity Records! Thank you for sharing your great story, Josh! ✌🏽
Thanks for the love! Yes, a lot of charming 😂 Following you now my friend 👊🏼

🙏🏻🙏🏻
I wish the copyright situation didn't exist on YT. Such a shame when people are trying to talk about and play certain songs. I do watch vids where things are played but I presume it's because they're not mainstream songs/artists so they slip through the copyright net? Wish I wasn't so focused on buying OGs, I do question my sanity. I just hope they do hold their value if I ever decide to start selling my collection. Good chat chaps... cheers Nige
@@nigelcampag1290 It’s just better for the soul to hunt for OG’s. It’s scientifically proven (I think) - haha. Have a great weekend Nige ✌🏻
Some originals are better and some reissues are better. Mixed bag but I always get on originals!
🤘🏻🤘🏻
No, reissues don't destroy value because they bring more traction and a larger audience to the release. If there are only 2 first pressings out there to buy; not many will have the chance to have a copy.
Fair point. Do you feel reissues can drive up the demand for originals in some cases?
@@ConcertBuddie Yes, it's like airplay; reissues raise awareness exponentially. Some old forgotten record is just that. DJ samples and several soundtracks kept classic soul alive. On any streaming service, the most common number of streams per month for the song of median popularity is zero streams.
Your records loose money.u try to sell your records to a record store u get nothing.or ebay not going to get top dollar.u better have rare stuff to make money
@@chriskitsopoulos9851 True story. I’ve found the best return on bringing records to stores is in credit/trade. Some are far better at this than others. How have you fared in the credit/trade department?
@@ConcertBuddie depends on the store.still u lucky to get 50 percent of the value of your rrcords.i understand they need to make money at the stores
@@chriskitsopoulos9851 For sure. I’ll trade in bulk to get store credit on “common” titles and usually try to sell more expensive titles myself online. *Emphasis on “try”. Thanks so much for watching and sharing these great points! 🙏🏻
Great video! I’m watching the replay.

@@larrybuzan7687 very, very true.
I'd like to see some Supertramp! Their sound would be great on UHQR. Maybe some Alan Parsons as well....
@@cdhumiston I could go for either of those. Great suggestions!
@concertbuddie my wife was in Nashville this weekend and stopped at third man. As of 1130 am today they still had a full display of the blue pressing of no name. Something tells me they pressed more than 2k copies
Too funny. Manufactured FOMO? Not the first time, and def not the last. Bigger question - did she grab a copy for you?
@ConcertBuddie she did. She's awesome that way. Although had I known they had more I would have told her to grab me a copy or two to flip. Btw I'll be at Wrigley for Pearl Jam, if I see you there I'll buy you a 🍺.
@TheRecordKeeper33rpm Niiiice! High marks for the Mrs indeed. As of now, I’ll be at the Thurs show 🤘🏻. Hope to connect with you 😎
There is definitely a market for this. Early stages but early entrants will have good upside. Just need to invest early on in what you like. Sealed product stands to benefit a ton. Which is good. Sealed condition always fetches the most money grading or no grading. At least there’s a way to better preserve them rate them and catalog them online. Overall a net win for vinyl investors. And collectors need not worry - most records have been re pressed several times. There is to some extent an affordable copy of what you want. Unless it’s niche or was never repressed. Than in that case it’s just natural scarcity at play and you should in response be willing to cough up the few hundred dollars it might cost. And worse case scenario, your favorite records can still be streamed or bought on cd if you’re really that afraid of price movements
A lot of sound points here. Regardless of what people think (good or bad) it’s here now, and to stay. Adapt or die, as Mark Parker famously said. Thanks for commenting + watching!

This is a little off topic and a day after the live stream... ... but... I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen any YT videos anywhere today on Rhino Hi Fidelity releasing 5,000 more of the Black Sabbath debut album. They're going to be unnumbered. I did order one today since I wasn't fast enough on the 1st go around. Maybe word hasn't spread around yet but I'm sure there will be those videos that do like it and those that don't like it (talking about Rhino releasing 5,000 more). I can honestly say I'm glad they did because I'd much rather have the Black Sabbath album than any of the other Rhino Hi Fidelity albums I've gotten so far 🙂 Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
@@Bootradr good observation Brian. I think most expected these to come out, and not surprisingly Rhino wanted to tap the market while there was still heightened enthusiasm for that release. My guess is other folks on YT either already have one, have made content about it, or are onto the next thing. My guess is these next 5k will be around for a bit longer than 7-10 days. Have a great weekend ✌🏻
@@ConcertBuddie Yeah that makes good sense what you said. I know I had been hearing the talk about Rhino reissuing the Black Sabbath copies again as well as starting to make some copies that would be put into record stores and places like that. I just had figured it was going to be "a while off" and I was kind of surprised to see they had already done it yesterday. But I can see why there wouldn't be any big announcement on this like there was when the first BS RHF run was announced and released. I normally try to get things like that (the ones I lwant) when they are initially released. But I figured I'd have a couple of days to come back and do it later. I think I was about a day late. That's what I get for thinking huh 🙂 I'm just glad I do have a chance to get one for way under the crazy $$$ they resell for at that. I had really wanted to get one but there's no way I'd pay what they're going for on Discogs. I'm just glad Rhino didn't jack the price up to $60 haha!
Great show chaps. Had to laugh at the Maggot Brain segment. Flossing doubles to friends...true friendship 😁. I would have thought Arnaldo stood a good chance of finding an OG in his location though. Roy Ayers - Sunshine no longer a $10 record? How times have changed. The Pretty Things first 5 UK lps would look good in a box set...not financially viable I suppose. Cheers and have a good weekend Chance...Nige
if you can't #flex on double copies with friends, who can you do it with? 🙂 Yeah, Roy Ayers (at least stateside) has become quite the pricey piece. I thought I did a solid getting one under $50 with some condition issues. Have a great weekend on your end too Nige!
@@ConcertBuddie Haha, so true! Admittedly I bought mine in the 00s from the US but I still thought it would be a relative cheapie today. Sooner this vinyl revival ends the better 😁
Great video! Bummer that Indy CD and Vinyl was closed! Just visited both shops this past weekend while my son and I were in town for Gen Con.

Late to the party for this upload. The people who shit on others and use other people's content to mock or "parody" others are jealous and have no creativity of their own. It can be funny but it's more just silly and kind of sad.

i LOVE this store. Tiny but mighty! its not cluttered with junk. it has a LOT of hard to find records!
Agreed! Looking forward to checking them out again next month 🏝️. Appreciate you checking this video out!
Good conversation mate. I tip my hat to anyone putting themselves out there on YT. It's not something I could do. Us older types have had the luxury of making our mistakes, learning etc behind closed doors and not revealing it on social media. If you put yourself out there and are still too green then unfortunately people are gonna let you know about it. The 'danger' is people have a platform and start talking about a record or genre that they know virtually nothing about and give incorrect information or just sound a bit clueless. But there's plenty of middle aged and older collectors who don't know as much as they think they do. Everyday is school day when it comes to record knowledge, for every single collector bar none. I can assure you you're a real record collector Chance, not that you need my endorsement but sell me your Rodriguez Sugar Man and you'll really go up in my estimations 😄. Regards Nige
LOL - Cold Fact looks so good on my shelf AND my TT. Thanks for spending some time on the piece Nige. Proud to count on you as fellow collector and friend 💪🏻
@@ConcertBuddie Course, it's Cold Fact not Sugar Man.....having a senior moment there. Shows how easy it is to get things wrong on social media ☺️. Cheers bro...Nige
@@nigelcampag1290 no judgment at all. I've been known to flub MANY details during my YT career, and will continue to do so 🙂
Very nice conversation, Chance (and Matt.) As to the "Crosley" question, I don't have a problem with someone buying one if they are just buying "thrift store" records ($1-5.) However, if they're dropping $40-70 an album, they are better off getting an entry level turntable (like an Audio Technica) for $125-150, along with a receiver and speakers (I've seen Marantz, Denon & Yamaha receivers under $50 on craigslist and in thrift shops, along with Boston Acoustics & Polk speakers in the same price range.) For $250, they can have a very nice little system to play their "overpriced" vinyl on (sorry, the CD Guy in me slipped out at the end.) I do have a suggestion for the next VC podcast...how about Ms. Concert Buddie & Stacey doing their own discourse on "Help me...I trapped in a relationship with a vinyl collector."
Totally agree with the (obvious to us) upgrade folks should make once they start dropping more coin on their records. I lived this once with friends who had a Crosley and after we returned from shopping at Amoeba (they lived in LA), they went to play a $200+ record on their TT - I had to stop them in their tracks and espouse precisely what you share here - there are levels to this, and now you've unlocked a new level with this purchase, time to "level up" your TT. As for Mrs CB and Stacey, a fine idea, but Mrs CB is keen on staying off camera. She's seen some of the "targeted commentaries" a select few have thrown at me, said about me, made videos about me, etc. and she knows if that would be aimed in her direction, I would break a few necks. So basically it keeps me out of jail :-)
@@ConcertBuddie Sorry, but Mrs. CB has already been featured on UA-cam...I believe one of her hands appeared in a Mazzy Wack-a-Mole. In fact, she and Stacey could do the whole video with just their hands being shown across a table from each other...no cuts during the whole 87 min. conversation...while most of the VC will be dumbfounded by it, pretentious pricks, like those found in exile in the wilds of Northern Europe, will proclaim it work of "Godardian cinematic genius, beyond the comprehension of the simple-minded proletariat!" (Just don't try doing it with feet instead of hands; that would just bring the freaks out of their mothers' basements.)
I think Audiophiles should all be locked in a room and be forced to listen to Steeley Fking Dan AJA continuously until they beg to be let out.
Allegedly this was one torture tactic discussed at Gitmo. Allegedly. 😂
